A few minutes after its departure the

The "Flopper" Rampaign.

The campaingn of 1883 will be q
noted one in this particular, for it's
great number of "aoppers." Every
day brings fresh accounts of several
men who have hitherto voted on all
questions fairly and squarely with
their party going over to the other
side, and in the issues of the present
day voting in direct opposition to
the party they have always upheld
and supported. Some of our cotem-
poraries speak lightly of this matter
and presume that the assertions of
many of these are unrelia BILE. and it
is the object of many of the flop
pers, who are announcing their in
tentions, merely to gain notoriety !;
and when the time comes will cast
their vote for the party with which
they have always been connected.
This may or may not be the case, and
we are inclined to believe in many
instances will not be, but the vote
cast next November will be cast by
large majority of men who will dare
to step over the boundary of party
lines or issues, and vote according to
their honest convictions or opinions
on the great national question at
stake i'll the coming campaign. Some
time since we made the assertion that
the voter of to-day is far advanced in
intelligence and independence to
what he was n few years back, he
will not blindly follow the dictates
of party, or party leaders. but has n
tendency to think and act for him
self. The interesting and intelligent
debate on the Mills bill has had the
effect of prepossessing some from
the Republican ranks no doubt in its
favor, while the sound and positive
arguments made against it has caus-
ed many II Democrat to flop" over
to the opposition, and we believe
many of these will vote according to
their convictions in this matter.
The question will arise then in the
minds of many: What effect will
this Hopping" propensity have on
the political parties and national
questions i'll the future? We are
convinced that it will be followed
with the most positive and beneficial
results. Formerly the man who
changed his political creed in any
manner and voted on any question
i'll opposition to his avowed party,
was branded as IA 'turn-coat." mug
wump;" and various other opprob-
rious names, but we have in n mea-
sure out-lived these preiudices, and
respect the man who will dare to
vote for his country instead of his
party. When we can point to the
American voter individually and
collectively as. the man. or men who
viii invariably vote MS his intelli-
gence and honest convictions sug-
gests, we have reached the highest
point of self-government possible
for republican form of administra-
tion to attain, and can sahy look for
a tradical reform in every depart
ment of our government.

The chairman of the Anti-Saloon
Republican Committee, Albert
Griffin, seems to know one phase of
human nature pretty well. In cir
cular just issued, in which he express
lt was Eo.re toic5ar from temperance
- howe''ans in every part of the
couiiI,oH - in reference to all matters
of interest, Mr. Griffin asks for sug-
gestions as to what should be done
to improve matters, and then, with
keen foresight, he adds: Mere
common scolls and pessimistic
grumhlcrs will obligc by not trespas-
sing on our time The great troub-
le. Mr. Griffin viii find, is that the
common temperance scold and pcssi-
mistic temperance grumblcr never
knows that he is such, and as Il crank
he regards everybody else as cranks
who do not agree with him and do
not fall in with his views. There is
biz work cut out for the man who
will attempt to convince one of these
grumblers or scolds that he is Il mere
thcorist, and that the world cannot
be converted to his way of thinking
in day Mr.. Griffin understands
this. but We fear his request that
these people do not trespass on his
time will have but little effect. The
chances are that he will receive NOR,
"luny' suggestions than ever, be
cause every fellow with Il suggestion
will be certain to regard his request
as applying to the other fellow.
In amy event, however, we wish Mr.
Griffin all manner of success and /
safe dcliverauce from the common
scold' and 'pessimistic grumbler.

The licenses have now been grant

The licenses have now been grant
ed under the new license law
throughout the State. and there are
7.72l licensed houses against II, 553
under the old law.
There were 1880 applications,
taking the whole State, of which
about two thirds were granted.
The revenue from li,553 licensed
houses last year was S976.179. The
revenue from 7.72i licensed houses
this year is 81, ,S35, 963 In short, we
have one-half the licensed houses

just at this season OF the year large
number OF our smaller congregations in
the country, where services are suspended
during the winter months, are making
preparations for resumption of public
worship. To these, and other of our
smaller congregations holding monthly
or semi monthly services, we recommend
as a good book for the song service of
worship and the regular services of the
sanctuary, Conference Chorals."
This little book contains Ga pages and
is bound in strong MANILA covers. The
first strain of each tune is given. 1t con.
tains 100 hymns, and may be used indie
pendently of the larger work, "Christian
Chorals," of which it is companion, II
is an admirable collection Of hymns for
public worship, and is furnished at a
very low price to secure a wide circula-
ton. Price IL cents single COPY; S1.25
per dozen; SO per hundred.
A new edition OF this little book has
recently been published by the Publish
ing House and the Western Branch can
supply orders to any extent. It is lust
exactly the book required for occasional
services, and is published at SO low a
price that our congregations can use the
same without any very large outlay. Let
our friends order it and equip their con-
gregations for worship and song the
coming season.

ers and readers, what a strange, one-sided
account the history of the Universalist
church In the nineteenth century will ap-
pear to the future student of church b is
tory? He will probably wonder why
Universalism was confined to one small
part of the globe, whilst in the great
central city OF the world-London, with
it's population Of nearly five million souls
there was not one Universalist church
1t is my intention this summer vsca-
ton, to visit my native land and do what
l can to propagate Universalism there;
also to ascertain what the outlook is for
the establishment of church or mission
and report on my return here at the end
OF September. Should matters in Eng
land wear an suspicious aspect with re-
gard to establishing Universalist church
or mission, might, after graduating in
June of next year, return to England and
commence my ministerial work there as
Universalist missionary.
Having lived in London and its vicin-
ity the greater part of my life, and there
by knowing the peculisrities ,of it's peo-
pie, I venture to think that / could gain
many converts to Universalism.
Should any of your readers wish to
render me any assistance in this under
taking, either financially or in the shape
of books, pamphlets, etc., for distribution,
they will please send the same to DR.. At

UNIVERSALISM IN ENGLAND.

am interested in the subject because
am an Englishman, and the welfare of
my countrymen, both socially and spirit
ually, is matter which have very much
at heart.
1 came to this country three years ago
and eighteen months afterward entered
this school to train for the Universalist
ministry.
The following thoughts are continually
presenting themselves to my mind: Why
are there no Universalist churches in
England? and why do not American Uni
versalists send missionary to London
or some other English city to endeavor
to establish one?
Any person who has lived any length
of time in England cannot fail to have
noticed that there is a great amount of
unorganized Universalism in that coun-
try. Most, il not all, Unitarians believe
in its teachings. A great number of
Church of England people also accept
them, and besides these there are many,
very many other people of all kinds Of
creeds and no-creeds, who believe in uni
versal salvation.
The minds of the people in England
are just arriving at the state when they
can see the truth of our doctrines True,
some of them are preiudiced and opposed
to anything not orthodox, but once get
John Bull to grasp the idea of Universe
lism, and he would,grip it as firmly as he
does orthodoxy.
Owing TO this, Universalism in other
denominations, it would perhaps take
some time and money to establish a
church or mission in London. People
might not,-although firm in their Uni
versalist convictions-think it either de-
sirable or necessary to leave their own
church in order to join the Universalist
But this might also be said of church-go-
ers in this country, and yet they are con-
tinually leaving orthodox churches in
order to join ours.
Let this be as it may, 1 believe the es-
Enlistment OF Universalist church or
mission in London to be a work worthy
the consideration of your readers, and
one which, if once started, would bring
forth good fruit.
Did it ever occur to Universalist think

ONTARIO. - Encouraging reports
come from Bloomfield, Dover, Nixon, and
Smithville. No pastor has been secured
for Blenheim and Olinda, as yet, but we
hope the summer will not pass before
the proper shepherd arrives.
Efforts are being made to proclaim the
Universslist doctrine in Hamilton and
Toronto-two of our leading cities. We
hope the efforts may be fruitful OF good
results. We believe the prospects are
good in both those cities.
The Post-office mission at Nilestown is
as active as ever in scattering abroad our
literature. Thousands of papers and
tracts, together with some books, have
been sent to all parts OF Ontario.
Letters of inquiry arrive from persons
in different parts of the Province Let
tiers conveying thanks for literature are
received. Thanks to those subscribers
who send their papers to Nilestown, after
they have done with them. They do et-
fective work here. Two other post Offices
are now engaged in the same work. We
hope many more names can be reached
this summer. j. @. BARRows.
