PROHIBITION CANDIDATES.

Cen Clinton B. Fiske, for President
John A. Brooks, for yice-President.
This is the unanimous cheice Of the
1000 delegates at indianapolis. Fiske
is a selfmade man, who got his educa-
ton as boy by the freight of a Mich
igan home, without teacher. He be-
came a successful business 4aan, and
was one of the citizen soldiers of the
war, retiring from the eonfiict as a
brigadier general. He spent great eff
fort after the war IA assisting the South,
both white and black, in education
the renowned Fiske University being
one result OF his labors.
He is one of the most delightful of
conversationalists and an unrivaIed
maker of happy iTnpremptu speeches.
DIR. Brooks, of Missouri, was a con
federate soldier during the war. Moth
ing could be a better exenplffieation OF
the spirit and purpose of the Prohibi-
tion party than the selection of a Con-
federate and Union soldier on the same
ticket. Brooks represents the tI1ous-
ands of those who, once in arms, are
now glad that their arms were broken.
A loyal citizen, who frankly admits
that he was wrong, he accepts in good
faith the results of the war by taking
hold of the duties of this late day, and
serving the country whose worth he
learned through battle.

what to Teach our Daughters.

Teach her to say mo" and mean it,
or 'sYES,' and stick to it.
Teach her to have nothing to do with
intemperate OF dissolute young men.
Teach her the important truism.
That the more she lives within her in
come, the more she win save and the
further she viii get away from the
poorhouse.
Teach her that a good, steady, church
going mechanic, farmer, clerk or teach
er, without cent, is worth more than
forty loafers or nor-producers in broad
cloth.
/ Teach her to embrace every opportu-
nifty for reading, and to select such OF
those books and periodicals as will give
the most useful and practical informa-
tion in order to make the best progress
i in earlier as well as later home ard
school life.

nIethodIst in Council.

The Quadrennial Methodist Confer
enee now in session in New York city,
is notable gathering because it repre-
sents the largest church in the United
States, and also because of the grave
questions discussed and settled, at least
for a term of years.
In another sense, Methodists would
deem the Conference of great impor-
tance, for it elects five new bishops,
and it is said by those in the inner cir
Gle, that political methods of wire
working, are not unknown by the cam
didates, and their friends, and natur-
ally The fear arises in observers, that
the emoluments of the bishopric have
an influence ON ministerial minds, as
well as the honors and Iabors to be con-
sidered.
| One would expect TO find composing
/ this August assembly of one of the
/ leading and most progressive churches
/ in our country, men of broad views,
! true justice, far seeing, and able to
comprehend ''tfe signs of the times
and realize as noted man has said
that i'this Is woman's century," And
this IS true in regard to many of them
but the debate on the question of ad
mitting women as delegates TO the Con
We ntion for the first time, brought Il
view in some men, a narrow mindt I
fenvious spirit, the opposite of Christ
like; notably the editor of the New
York AdUocate, DR.. Buckley. But III,
arguments by some of the leading
thinkers of our country, in favor o
their admission were grand, and incon
trovertible.
/ The question was finally referred
back to the annual Conferences to de
eide, by giving all members chanc'
to vote on the subject, when it will b.
brought before the next Conferenc,
four years hence for decision and NJ
one can doubt who remembers the Ion:
Z contest some years ago, over the admis
sion of laymen, what the final Issue
will be.
In the meantime we can fully acqui
esce in the views expressed in lat,
I editorial in the Chicago Union Signal
which we quote. E. Z. P.
