Dear Sir: AS there is q wide spreaG

of the Union Signal of Chicago, the
official organ of the National WOman'i
Christian Temperance Union, which il
sent to you by this same mail. This
copy contains the report ofthe Annua
National Convention of this large and
influential body, held at Nashville
Tenn November 16 to q, 1887.
Miss Frances E. Willard, the Presi.

convention to declare itself in favor OF
removing the internal revenue tai

convention endorsed her recommends.

At the Louisville convention of the

The above is a copy of a letter that
has recently been sent to every MEM
Der of Congress. 1t will doubtless he
read with surprise by a great many
people who have thought that they
knew something about the ''moral
and temperance sentiment of the ooun-
try" but who will learn from this let
ter that they have been utterly mis-
taken. 1t has been generally consid-
cred that the third party has a copy
right on the idea, "Prohibition or Free
Rum, "but iti:seems from this letter that
the w. G. T, U. has a claim to it also.
In the past the w. c. T. U. has been
an immense power for good in the
cause Of temperance, but it was for the
that it was sustained by the
practical sentiment of the
That sentiment believed in
prohibiting the whiskey traffic wher-
over possible, but always and every

burden and in throwing in its way
every possible hindrance. And it ia

what articles were sold on that execu.

Here the witness hcsitated, not will
Ing to commit himself by going into
particulars. until the patience of tho
counsel became exhausted and he
pressed special interrogatory.
Counsel-Did you on that occasion
sell threshing-machine?
Answer-Yes. / think we did.
OIL wish you to be positive. Arc
you sure of it?
A.-Can't say that 1 an, sure of it;
and whenI come to think of it, don't

Odd you sell horsepower?

W.-Horse-power! Well. it seems to

was any horsepower there, l can't say
whether we sold it or not; but don't
think we did; though it may be, per-
haps, that we did, after all. It's some
time ago and don't like to say GER

disadvantages too numerous to men

They had worked but a few days in
three weeks, as it had been so rainy;
then they tried to do about three
weeks work in one week, and would
not attend speaking in the daytime,
and at night they were zoo tired to do
so. They had large tobacco crops to
set out, some $1,000 to 10000 hills.
and most of them had to prepare their
lands after [ went among them. AS
soon as this was done, and they had
worked their grassy corn, harvest
came on, and it was almost out of the
question to get an audience. 1t was
an entirely new thing to them, and as
the majority of them read very little,
they are slow to take hold of a new
thing or see into it's merits.
On account of the extremely busy
season, and my health, L came here to
rest awhile, and hope to return later,
or send some by order of you; and in
the meantime, Twill write to some of
the prominent men in different sec
tons of the county. l made IL ad-
dresses and won many friends for the
order, but the nights were too short
to organize after speaking, and it was
hard to get them together, but [ can

The statement is often made by I'M
thoughtful and narrow minded people
that the militia companies of this country
are composed of very weak material when
it comes to personal bravery. Now, this
is very unjust criticism, for we have
never heard of single company failing
to report for duty when called into ser
vice. A riot was reported near Memphis
the other day, and within forty minutes
the famous Chickasaw Guards, of that
place, were under arms, awaiting orders
The militia of state is very important
factor, for when the civil authorities fail
it devolves upon the volunteer soldiery to
uphold the majesty of the law. There
