National Reforms.

At the monthly meeting of the Congro-

above subject Senator Frye wrote:

polygamy would not be first, for 1t Is
dying; but there is an evil, fearful In It's
strength, terrible in It's power to destroy
incompetence. Its allies wers never so
powerful, aggressive, organized, as now;
they have bonded themselves together in
associations of immense wealth and num-
Der; they purpose to control legislation
by fair means or by foul Their an
nounced purpose is to manufacture
liquors and sell them without limitation
of law. It is the most gigantic, threat
ening and perilous evil Of our land, and
were dictator would first Of all strangle
to death this monster"
Representative Dingley wrote:
Il know of no national reform which
would promote the moral and material
interests of our people more than the
abolition of the dram shop, and the gen.
era1 abandonment of drinking habits by
our people, the most prolific, cause of vice,
misery, pauperism and crime. II were

Speaking of the Prohibition par
ty candidate the Boston Herald
says :"ln Gen. Fisk the Prohibition
lists have a candidate for Presidents
whom it will be difficult to abuse.
1t will not be because of the lack
of an ugly disposition toward him,
however. The attacks upon candi-
date st. John in the campaign of
1884 were as venomous as could
well be conceived. There is pro-
badly the same disposition toward
Gen. Fisk, who is an equally posi-

KAIANDRI EF'FUSETH.
He Reviews The Convention and
Prophesyeth.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.-[Special
The great convention is over, but
the story of it shall never die.
There have been hundred billion
men and women since Adam and
Eve-brainier men than Adam
and fairer women than Eve-whose
memory has faded out; the Miss
issippi is three thousand miles long,
flowing past magnificent cities, but
none will forget Lake Itasca in it's
wintry woods.
The reforms of an advancing
civilization have but one point in
their ever-argumenting sempiter-
nifty, that is their point Of beginning.
There the bright lights Of history
forever focus. This convention is
the beginning of the twin triumph
of prohibition and woman suffrage.
The
SPIRIT OF PROPHECY
Has never equivocated as to the
eventual triumph of both. 1t has
ever been certain that intoxication
must some day cease from off the
earth and that some day woman
shall become the political equal Of
man. This convention now closed,
has not settled that. The great
historic thing which this conven-
tion has done is this: It has de-
creed under God that the two re-
forms shall come in lovingly, holly
arm in arm together. We who
have had the high privilege of at
tending the convention have be-
held the wedding of the two great
est developments of the second mil
lennium of the Christian era.
These lovers plighted their troth
sixteen years ago. Every four
years they have met and renewed
their vows. Yesterday
THEY WERE Welded.
They have gone off on their we'd
ding tour. Before the twentieth
century shall come they will return
and 20 to keeping house in Uncle
Sans old family mansion and take
him to board. And they will make
it so alfred pleasant and comforta-
bic for the old gentlemen that he
will hardly miss his banished
beverages, and will wonder how he
ever managed to get along before
the new arrangements.
l would like to tell the story of
that wedding, and if I were book
maker instead of a daily newspaper
writer, aboard the lightning ex.
press of Time, firing my letters out
Of the panoramic window as we
rush on, God helping me, I would.
But after all, it is no matter. Of
real moment is the deed, and not
the story of it. For that matter,
history writes itself, and each gen.
Grafton and it's surroundings are
the history Of all it's ancestors and
of all they haye suffered and all
they have achieved. But speak
ing of this wedding yesterday,
it takes fellows breath away,
and gives him sense of standing
with narrow foothold in rarifed
atmosphere on the Hottest peak of
human history, to look backward
to the dawn of time and observe
that never before since the morn.
ing stars sang together at the
creation have two great reforms
with welded hearts and linked
arms come together to the throne
of destiny. 1t gives fellow an
awful and yet glorious sense of the
incalculable velocity of these latter
days to see reforms begin to come
into view two by two. We must
be entering the suburbs of eternity.

THE RESULT IN OREGON,

The result in Oregon indicates, in
the most emphatic manner, that the
people of the United States are not
willing that this great and growing
country should be run altogether for
the benefit of alien manufacturers
and their pauper labor.
1t also indicates that her citizens,
outraged at the unwarranted interfer-
'ence and offensive partisanship dis
played by the subordinates of the
Free Trade, Anti-Silver, and un.
American administration resented it
in the most effective way known to
free men.
1t also indicates that the Democrats
of Oregon can, when properly ap-
pealed to, DO made to drop partisan
ship for patriotism just as the War
Democrats did, during notable
period in the country's history.
It also indicates that outside
Salient" (such as John P. St. Johns
and Colonel Irish's) even when back

tons, OF the English Golden Free
Trade Club, Of the Wall street gold

CT every Office holder in tue State,
cannot prevail when an intelligent
community knows its needs, and
determines to secure them.
The result Of the Oregon election,
which will be accepted as an indica-
ton of the feeling in the country at
large, will be noticed at once all over
the Union. The Free Traders will
accept it as a command to "iialt!

their shattered confidence in the
