The outbreak Of abusive personalities which has
caused 50 much OF q commotion in the ranks OF
the W. c. 7. Z. shows that a difference OF sex
makes no difference In the pugnacious Qualities
common TO the race when politics the subject Of
controversy. Mrs. Foster accused Mss West OF
editing a blackguard newspaper and Miss West
accused Mrs. Foster OF being traitor TO the tenn
perance cause. The convention evidently was d.
vided In sentiment as 70 the merits OF the quarrel
which originated In a question whether the oryan-
prohibition ticket In the present national canyass
On one subject, however, there was no dispute
whatever: Everybody was ready TO Join in the
message Of good Will and sympathy sent to Mrs
Cleveland.

IT Is causing no small amusement In New York
City that the nrst arrest made there for Illegal
registration since the offer OF a reward from Sena-
tor Quays honesty fund" should have been made
by democratic policeman, and that Its victim
should be lifelong republican, who had made all
his preparations 10 cast mis- four votes for Har-
rison on election day. 1t IS poor rule
that VIII not work both ways; and, II Mr.
Quay's money is really an honesty fund, and
not merely an anti-democratic fund, the reward
VIII have to be paid In due course. The fun OF
the thing aside, however, the prompt capture of
this rascal and his immediate sentence TO two
years and six months IN the state prison, is capt.
tai exploit for the machinery OF justice In the
metropolis. II cannot fail TO have its effect in
terrifying other intending law-breakers; and even
though It viii not root out the practice OF illegal
voting entirely, IL will its little share In the

DEAR FREEMAN:

DEAR FREEMAN:
l was much interested in Bro.
Sleeth's article on "Woman SUI
frage" in your last weeks issue
He discussed the question in
most admirable spirit. have
found myself, however, gradually
settling down on the opposite side
of this question, though perhaps
not yet entirely anchored. | feel
that we should be very humble and
teachable on the question, in view
of the passages which our brother
quotes. [ do not think his conclu'
sions are necessary, though | may
be mistaken. I write this simply
to ask Bro. Sleeth a few questions
Frst.-Does the Bible make the
woman subject to any other man
or men except to her own hust and
Is she required to obey her brother,
OK uncle, or nephew, or height Dor
coa,d.-Does the Bible make her
subject to her husband in any other
thar family matters? Is she 10
obey him in her duties to the
church or the State?
ThGrd.-Does the Bible forbid
her ruling in the home, or any
where else, if the imam" gives MS
consent? Are men who give home
matters and authority entirely INTO
the hands of their wives, trans
crossing the law?
Fourth.-Are the Christian
queens of England, Madagascar ana
other countries, living in violation
of the precept that the woman
must not have authority over the
man? Is it true that no woman
was ever ruler by divine appoint
ment? How about Deborah being
the Judge of Israel? See Judges
4::46.
Fsfth.-Why may it not be scrip.
urally consistent for woman TO oe
subject to her own husband, ana az
the same time help to rule tns
country both by ballot and oh1clai
position?

DIR. Jones' Lecture.

The Lecture on Hygiene and
Heredity in It's relations to Intern
perance, at the Baptist Church, by
DR.. Hattie B. Jones, was largely at
tended by the ladies of Parkers-
burg, and was highly appreciated
by all present. DR., Jones is thor,
ough!y accomplished in the impor-
tant subject of this lecture and is
at once most pleasing and forci-
BILE speaker, and we are sure Park

house whenever she can be secured

Here We are Again.

It is now settled that the Ma

on it we rely for the future. We

Here's fitting tribute to sobrie-
ty. When calamities come upon
an individual, a firm or a commu-
nifty, no one thinks of turning to
the Saloons for consolation or re-
lief. The Register establishment
was utterly destroyed by fire. A
sober, reliable force of workmen, is
the best reserve capital the firm

What a Leading Brewer Says.

None are apparently more inter-
ested in securing the high license
than liquor dealers themselves. Mr..
c. Metz, one OF the leading brewers
in Omaha, Neb., in a letter of ad-
vice to the trade in New York.
writes under date Of January goth,
as follows: High License Isl 900
in the cities, $500 in the towns) has
been of no injury TO our business.
We are positively certain that
were it not for our present high IL
cense law Nebraska would today
have prohibition. In our opinion
high license does not lessen the
consumption of liquor. If left to
US, we Che liquor dealers) would
never repeal this law. There are
great many difficulties at first for
the brewers and liquor dealers to
get a high license law in good work
ing order, but after a year or two
you will certainly fnd it to your
advantage over prohibition. -

The South Kansas Conference Of
the M. E. Church just closed
pleasant and interesting session,
held in the city of TT. Scott. The
city lies in Eastern Kansas, near
the Missouri line. And, though
lying so near State cursed by rum
rule, l did not see a drunk man in
the city during my weeks stay
there. l was IN the streets at all
hours of the day, and one or two
evenings as late as nine o'clock.
There are twelve thousand inhabit-
ants in the city, still it is a diff
fcult matter, l was told, to get any
liquors of any kind, 1 was an at
tendant on the Ministerial as well
as the Lay Electoral Conference,
and from both bodies l heard but
one expression in regard to the tenn
perance cause. The law is as well
enforced as any law on our Statutes.
Open saloons, with very few excep-
tons, are things of the past. Pro-
hibit1on is here to stay, and to
grow in favor with the people year
after year. People who have felt and
seen the curse of intemperance,and
then enjoyed the sweets of freedom
from its blasting influence, as is
now enjoyed in Kansas, will not
willingly surrender the blessings
of Prohibition, for the Rum rule
with its murderous and destructive
work. There is an inspiration that
seizes every man as he crosses from
enslaved Missouri into free Kansas.
DR.. Kynett said before the Confer
ence: "As the train swept across
the line stood up, looked out at
the window and took off my hat,
DR.. Payne, of Ohio, said in his in
imitable style, GLORIOUS Kansas !"
Both the Ministerial and Lay Con-
ferences passed ringing resolutions
on the Temperance question.
