church is not easily coerced, even
by General Conference, however.
and it is difficult to believe that they
will not judge themselves better
able to decide their political duty
than that somewhat excitable body
of legislators.
When the Republican party first
declared slavery to be a political
evil it proposed restrictive meas ures
only. 1t proposed to keep it out of
the territories and abolish the slave
market in the District of Columbia.
According to the fat of the confer.
ence, if it should now propose to
abolish the saloon in Washington,
it would place itself in an unchris-
tian attitude unless it went farther
still.
But the saddest phase of the
whole matter lies in the fact that the
church has, by this resolution, APP
parently committed itself to the
terrible doctrine that if men will
not be healed in the way they pro-
pose they prefer that they be not
healed at all, "Master," said the
man who knew he was right, eve
saw one casting out devils in Thy
name, and we forbade him, because
he followed not with us.' The
writer has almost forgotten what
the Master said about it, but he feels
sure it was nothing that would
Justify leaving temptation unrestrict-
ed to destroy millions year, in
order that its very woefulness might
compel the adoption of a favorite
method of cure. Such doctrine is
terrible enough in the mouth of a
mere undoubting partisan--in the
legislation of great church it is a
fearful spirit to contemplate. 1t can
not be that absolute prohibition is
the only "Christian attitude" toward
the shrink traffic." if by another It's
evils may be lessened, especially,
if another method be possible and
prohibition be impossible within any
appreciable period of time. This is
not a question Ct political morals,
but of political means by which an
admitted evil may be mitigated. 1t
would seem possible that the decla-
ration of leading Frohibitionist
that their mission is "to destroy the
Republican party" is true, and that
the Methodist church has been di-
rected by its highest Legislative
authority to help in the work, in
order that Democracy and Rum may,
for a farther period, hold sway.

CAPITAL NOTES.
MAprssy, June A, 1855


will waste time looking beyond
Wisconsin in June, and amid this
kingdom of beauty sits Madison,
unrivalled queen. Wisconsin peo-
pie may safely challenge the world
to name city more blessed with
natures charms than this city of
lakes, when clothed as cow in her
becoming vernal robes, fresh-draped
by Gods unerring hand.
1t cannot be for lack of natural
attractiveness that Madison has not
become leading summer resort.
For the approaching season a few
applications for accommodations
are received, but there is no indica-
ton of more than usual. The Ton
yawatha Springs Hotel on the east
side of Lake Monona will, no doubt,
easily quarter all who come, and
have room to spare.
Last week the first attempt at
lighting the city by electricity was
made. About sixty arc lights are
put up--one at each corner of the
Capitol Park, and the others dis
tributed about the central part Of
the city. Thus far the lights are
not satisfactory, but it is claimed
that in few days they will be all
right.
For amusements this is one of the
most barren cities to be found. Very
few dramatic troops of any merit
come here. This is partly because
there is no suitable hall for such
purposes. Since the Old Burroughs
opera house has been condemned as
unsafe and demolished, there has
been fitful talk of building a good
opera house, and several plans have
been suggested to secure it. But as
the prospect is that, for time at
least, dividends on such an invest
ment would be small, all efforts
thus far to secure the requisite cap
ital have failed. Tie moneyed men
of the city are too much of the or
der that wants TO be sure of good
returns. They lack that generous
spirit Of public enterprise necessary
to make Madison what she should
be. They do not seem to appreciate
what bountiful nature has done for
them.
POLITICS.
Every body seems willing to defer
political discussion as long as pos
sihle, in Anticipation that the APP
preaching campaign will be one of
the hottest ever known in the country.
After the Chicago convention on the
! 9th the battle will rage until No
yember. What will be done in the
republican national convention is
now the principal theme. Blaine
positively out of the race raises the
hopes Of all other aspirants, and re-
news the activity of their friends.
Sherman and Gresham are expected
to start ~ as leaders 1t the conyen-
ton, but astute politicians are con
fdent that neither of them will
secure the prize. sherman, they
say, has been TOO often before the
people, ana has antagonized too
many people and interests. Gresham,
it is claimed, has not the entire
confidence OF the eastern manufac-
turing states as to his position on
the tariff question, and besides
would Ia weak with the foreign
asd manufacturing elements. There
fore, it is argued, someone less
prominent is more available, and
likely TO be chosen. If New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut unite

The Kindergarten Benefit.

The concert by the Woody Bros. troupe
last evening did not draw large audience.
Aside from any question as to the merit of
the company, the object of the benefit
should have filled the house, and the effort
to found a free kindergarten school should
have received broad material aid regardless
of any musical return. The young ladies
of the Marguerite Mission made the affair
very novel. No gentlemen OBLIGATED. Miss
Katie Wadsworth acted as cashier, Miss
Laura Plant as doorkeeper, and these
young ladies, dressed in white and wearing
marguerites for ornaments and hand
painted silken badges, were the ushers of
the evening: Misses Joey Richardson, Helen
Lindley, Minnie Cluness, Eva Griffiths,
Kitty Merkley and Alice Smith. The
committee IN charge eff the concert were
the officers of the Mission, Miss Helen
Smith, President; Miss Cluness, Vice-Pres-
ident, and Miss Lindley, Secretary. The
front of the rostrum, the choir rail and the
stands and desks were heavily and taste
fully decorated with flowers in great va
riety. The concert troupe halls from Chi
cago. 1t consists of four male and one
female voice. The style of the entertain
ment is after that which THE Alleghan-
ians, The Continentals,n 1.-The Baker
Family The Hutchinson Family" and
others made so popular some years ago-the
singing of songs dependent more upon the
sentiment of the text and the manner of
the singers, than the merit of the music
for the popularity of the entertainment.
The Woody Brothers are but faint sugges-
tions of such splendid troupes as we have
named. Their range was soon found to be
very limited, and their selections exceed
ingly simple and easy. In the main. their
style is that of recitative there is very lit
tie musical or vocal ability required for
such performances, and the troupe under
notice to that extent filled the bill. The
basso protundo has a strong, sweet and
deep-toned voice, and is the only one of
the company who really sang" last
night. The voices, it is true, harmonized
well, and there was a deal of dwelling upon
soft tones, and much of chant, recitative
swell and diminuendo and other easy tasks
of vocsliZstion. The troupe was applauded
and several encores won, but it awakened
no enthusiasm and appealed TO nc special
musical taste. The young ladies will real
ize but little for all their labor, but should
not be discouraged The public approves
their scheme, and will certainly stand by
them in their laudable endeavor.

Is Ii Right!

Yesterday gang of the Street Commits
sioner's men were at work filling up holes
in the street and securing the earth for that
purpose by digging it from the side of the
street near the sidewalk, where it had been
placed by the property-owner at heavy ex-
pense. The owner of the place where the
work was going on stated that the same
thing had been done on several occasions.
He had paid out great deal of money to
grade the street up so that The water would
not stand in front of his door during the
rainy season, and every time the street
needed repairs the Commissioner would
order his men to take the earth he had
placed there and put it in the middle of the
street. The citizen says he has ceased to
demonstrate, since when he does so he
only receives a torrent of abuse. On its
face, the proceeding looks like an outrage,
though it is possible there may be an ex-
PLANTATION of it. 1t is not necessary, how
ever, to reply to a respectful remonstrance
by enumeration and abuse.
