TEMPERANCE.

A timely resolution was passed by
the National Republican convention
at Chicago, on Monday last, just before
adjournment and added to the plat.
form. The committee on platform
had been waited upon by distinguished
temperance friends, both men and
women, and urged to put a temperance
plank in the platform, but declined SC
to do. Some of the delegates believed
it would be damaging to the Republi.
can party to refuse recognition of the
Importance of temperance, and amidst
considerable excitement the following
resolution was adopted:
1.-THE first concern of all good gov.
eminent is the virtue and sObriety OF
the people and the purity of their
homes. The Republican party cordial.
ly sympathizes with all wise and well.
directed efforts for the promotion OF
temperance and morality"

know that Harrison's majority in this

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL PLAT
FORM.

$500 - 49, - = -
FORM.
We ask our readers to contrast the
national platform adopted at Chicago
y t week with that of the Democratic
c. 'ention adopted at st. Louis pre-
viousiy. The Republican platform has
the merit of being outspoken, admit
ing of no controversy as to its meaning.
The Democratic platform has been a
subject Of debate as to its interpreta-
tion, and was evidently intended to be
80 worded as to admit of different con-
structions. Take for example what is
said on the tariff question. Free
traders declare it clearly indicates a
recognition of the wisdom of their
policy, and regard it free trade docu-
ment. The Democrats who incline to
the protective policy affect to regard it
as conclusively in favor of protective
tariff. Whether it is honest to put be-
fore the people OF the country dec
laration of party principles. capable
of being construed by politicians to
suit all sorts of people. on a question
of vital interest, is for fair-minded men
to judge. The old-time adage that all
is fair in politics" ought to lie discard
ed as rule of action in these later
times.
The platform adorted at Chicago last
week is good one; its declarations
are based on the facts of our country's
history, and cannot be disproved. But
while the platform is as free from just
criticism as any heretofore adopted, it
is absurd to say no good Republican
should ever find fault with the declara'
ton of principles of his party as agreed
upon in convention. Republicans do
not surrender the right of private
judgment. Some Republicans express
the opinion that it would have been
better to have omitted one or two ex-
pressions of sentiment and given place
to one or two others not found. More
may be said on this matter at another
time.

THE PAST AND THE FUTURE.

There have been more than the usual
number of semi-centennial celebrations
the past few months. for the reason
that it is now about fifty years since
the first establishment of the churches
and other institutions in the North
west The past fifty years have been
a history of radical changes in all the
departments of life. This period has
been reviewed, and the momentous
question comes, "What will be the
condition of the people of this country
fifty years hence?" Human thought
is incapable of sufficient expansion to
grasp the vast possibilities of the
future half century. A great number
of inquiries of transcendent import
aEce crowd upon the mind, and many
of them may he too extravagant for
mention. Will the seeker for Office
perambulate the country. proclaiming
his own fitness for positions of trust
and responsibility; enlisting friends to
rally to his support by securing dele
gates to the nominating convention, or
will he leave that kind of business to
others? Will there once more come
time when the virtue Of political mod
esty shall be respected? Less than
three.quarters of century ago candi.
date for office would have lost cast
with respectable people had he been
seen distributing ballots or soliciting
votes for himself. Will there come a
time within che next fifty years when
illiterate men will not be seen at the
polls of the election, incapable of read
ing the printed ballots put into their
hands. and sometimes willing to sell
their votes for an unnamable considera-
ton? Can the day be hoped for when
a member Of state legislature or of
Congress, when important measures
are to be voted upon, will not make it
the first inquiry how the vote he is
called upon to record will affect the
chances of his reelection, and par
ticularly how it will affect his political
party? 1t is not unreasonable to sup
pose that members of Congress, at
least many of them, calculate upon the
party influence of every vote they are
called upon to record very much as the
expert chess-player studio, every move
he makes on the board. Instead of the
primary consideration, how his vote
will advantage the best interests of the
country, the question, will it strength
en- or weaken his party, is uppermost.
Will intemperance, that prolific source
of a vast proportion of the crimes
which disgrace humanity, be permitted
30 bear full sway as now, or will the
producing cause of evil be driven out
of the country? Will there be high.
or standard of morality which shall be
the passport to Office, high aud low?
All these interests, with many others,
are quite sure to be changed for better
or worse the coming fifty years. With
the increasing civilization, there comes
hope of better future.

times it does not reflect much credit on
the correspondent Of Somers to apply
that name to one of our creameries.
Regarding the noisy citizens who pass
through Somers after dark, we think
they blow thistles for a pilot to pilot

your town ever be so fortunate as to

vile still has such charm for you, by
all means call it Jugville or Mudville,
either of which will be quite appropriate.

was historical paper, prepared by Col.

On Monday afternoon the exercises
were resumed, good audience being
present. After opening by the usual
forms, Rev. G. Camp, of Waukesha,
took for his subject Beginnings in Wis
consin," combining his statements to the
early history of the churches in Wiscon-
sin prior to the year 1910. These recol-
lections were full Of interest. Rev. ].
Ellsworth, of Milwaukee, had for his
subject Loyalty of church members to
the church, The theme of Rev. Frank
T. Lee, of Whitewater, was, The church
and her children" The closing address
was given by Rev. ]. Fl. Ide, D. D., of
Milwaukee. The subjects were all ably
treated, and consumed most of the after
noon.
BANQUET.
After the crowd of visitors had ex-
changed social greetings, Rev. Mr.. Bray
announced the ready tables.
1t needs graphic pen to describe the
decorations, the beautifully arranged
tables, the wealth Of flowers and the
delicacies with which the tables were
covered. There were chairs for 300
guests, which were readily filled, and
many obliged to wait. The ladies de-
serve the thanks of all for the skill and
good judgment displayed in the arrange
ment of this entertainment. 1t was
pleasing to notice that the guests were a
blending of all denominations: besides
Congregationalists, Methodists, Baptists,
Episcopalians, Unitarians, including we
are told, some Catholics. Judge Van
Wyck presided at the banquet table,
and opened the speaking exercises with
a well-timed address. Sentiments were
announced for short speeches, which
were responded to; besides volunteer
addresses. Fraternal regard on behalf
of the Baptist church was expressed by
Rev. Taylor; on behalf Of the Methodist
church by DR.. Ward, and by Rev.
Thompson for the Episcopal church.
The remarks of Rev. Thompson were a
noble christian recognition of fellowship
in the work of bringing the world to the
knowledge of the Saviour.
Toasts were responded to, and volun-
teer remarks, some of only few words,
were made by Rev. Mathews, Rev.
Clapp, I. J. Clapp, Col. Frank, ]. Brock
EFT, Mr.. Macomber, L. Lee, Rev. F. 7.
