What The Bishops Say.

''The liquor traffic is so PERM
cious in allsitsibearing, SO. inimical
to the interests of honest trade, so
repugnant to the moral sense, so
injurious to the peace and order of
society, SO hurtful to the homes,
to the church and to the body pol
itic, and SO utterly antagonistic
to all that is precious in lite, that
the only proper attitude toward it
for Christians is that of relentless
hostility. 1t can never be legal
lied without sin. No temporary
device for regulating it can become
substitute for Prohibition.

principle, and powerless as rem

A PRESS despatch tells Us that the
sugar brokers Of San Francisco are
excited over a prospective corner in
raw sugar, engineered BY Claus
Spreckels. In the Cincinnati Post
we find the following remarks: s.We
appear to be on the eve Of a gigantic
war between the great Sugar Trust
of the East and the Sugar King,
Claus Spreckels. The Trust issaid to
have issued circular threatening to
boycott every dealer that handles
any other sugar than its own.
Spreckels has invaded the East with
aS2, 000, 900 refinery at Philadelphia.
and he announces that he will fight
the Trust prices with theentire S40,-
100000 Of which he il the possessor.
The people will be very glad to hear
the first gun fired in this conflict, for
it will mean the cheapening Of an
article used in every household, and
possibly the death of one of the
greatest monopolies ever organized. :
This is a rare instance of benefac-
ton, and the author merits the
gratitude Of the nation.

The Republicans Of the Senate
are wrangling among themselves in
a vain attempt to agree upon sub
stitute for the Mills bill. They are
90 much afraid Of giving offense TO
some class interest, that, turn which
way they may, they are confronted
with embarrassment. If Il was the
interest Of the masses they had at
heart they would have plain and
easy sailing.

The Republican party by its COM
initial to continued tariff robbery
has disaffected a large per cent. Of its
honest and intelligent membership,
while its platform pledge to remove
the tax from whisky, whereby the
price thereof will be reduced to 20
cents per gallon, has offended the
moral element Of the organization,
and the disentegration Of the party
from these causes is progressing
rapidly.

Judge Fowle's letter and act upon
it. Win he do it? That's the ques-
ton. The way is open to him and
the opportunity is within his reach.
If he refuses, or lodges the open
proposition made by Judge Fowle
there is but one eonclusion--he does
not desire it, and all Of his boosted
desire has been buster and gas in
order to produce the impression that
the Democrats feared him. If you
are heartily in earnest, Mr.. Dockery,
show it, or else by your actions you
are afraid to meet your opponent in
joint canvass before the people of
North Carolina.

A Mysterious Disappearance.

A young girl named Mary Condon e1n- ployed as domestic in Birmingham, left town on Saturday, April 2S, saying that she was going to Waterbury for a days visit. This is the last that has been heard from her and all investigation fails to discover the missing girl She evil dently had no intention of remaining away, as all her clothes and personal property of a considerable amount were left behind; and besides she was per fectly satisfactory to the party en- ploying her and evidently liked her place. The missing girl is supposed to have rela- tives in Waterbury, but their address is unknown. She was for some time a wait ress at Cooley's hotel in that place and came highly recommended from her last employer. There are several rumors afoat regarding the disappearance, but as noth- ing definite has been learned we decline to publish them.-Shelton Advertiser.

 Mrs Dixon Cowie, wife of the man under arrest for the murder of Lila Hoyle, was in Meriden Saturday settling up her affairs in that city. She told 8 Journal reporter that her husband was as innocent of the murder of Lila Hoyle as an unborn child, and that she did not believe Tom McQuaid had hand in the girls death. He was 8 model young man. She said further that her husband would be able to show that at the hour Alice Hoyle in her confession says he was with Lila on the night of the murder that he was marking billiard game ina Webster saloon. She says that she cannot believe that Alice Hoyle made any such confession as alleged If she did, she was forced to make it. She is not a bright girl and might be frightened into it. Mrs Cowie says Andrew Hoyle is at the bottom of the arrest of her husband, because the latter had Andrews son dis charged from the shop he worked in. In Webster the people, according to Mrs Cowie, says that no two men in the whole town could be arrested for the crime who would less be suspected than her husband and Tom McQuaid. She will return to Webster to-day. Mrs Cowie is under 30 pleasing in her address and intelligent in her conversation
