THE INTERNATIONAL CANVASS.

sWomen are strange" True. We are willing
to admit any truth so patent But that men are
0stranger" there is abundance of proof. Wit
ness, for example, how some of them 60 shopping
around the state, hunting up old musty letters
that had better been burned as soon as written
or, better still, never written at all; digging up
unsavory facts concerning individuals that have
been buried away (the facts) underground so long
they may as well have rested there, and the people
thus spared the unpleasant odors of their moldy
mustiness; throwing sticks and mud at each other,
and if an unlucky outside individual happens to
"perk up" his head, from curiosity or otherwise,
against the horizon, to see what is going on, they
Immediately turn and with one accord begin to
pet the head.
Now, what has all this to do with the needs and
the welfare of the state? Will it bring more hon
est industrious people among us? Does it help on
the tilling of the cotton and corn? Does it teach
anyone better philosophy of life? Or is it even
edfying or entertaining to any outside of the few
performers in the ring? Then why keep up the
performance. 1t is supposed, being men, these
people have great brains candidates, voters and
those who stick up their heads to be pelted. Then
why not use them to some good purpose? Said
little boy, with fire in his eye and wrath in his
voice, to his fellow in a ball game, "Why jimmy
round in one spot don nothn?'' This would
seem to apply to boys grown older.
The candidates sit upon the Coal Hill horror
with all the patient persistency of hen sitting
upon her nest of eggs and doubtless each expects
to hatch an election therefrom One of them will
in all probability succeed. But will this ensure our
state from repetition of such horrors? Will the
laws that should protect be any better laws than
those now in force or will the men elected to en-
force them be any more honest and sober? If the
answer to all these questions is Eyes," then let
everyone rejoice. Let the governor appoint day
of thanksgiving in October; let every family in
the state give " turkey dinner" and the people
can well afford to forgive the poor comedy per-
formances of the summers campaign.

What, then, should be the steps taken toward
the suppression of an evil which ruins alike young
and old, bodily and spiritually; blights the flower
of the land, those who are to come after us and
WELD the scepter for good or evil, veal or woe.
Where shall we begin to stem the tide or check
the flood? For if we had the wisdom of Solo
mon and the eloquence of a Cough they would be
insufficient.
They who first conceived the idea of beginning
with the children undoubtedly discovered the road
to success. But even here we find obstacles IN
the way which must be surmounted or overcome.
Do you ask what they are? Gathered together in
the schools of every city and town in our land are
the children to whom we must look in the years to
come for triumphs complete over this great this
crying evil Well, you say, it is easy to teach
them temperance in all things. All, no; some OF
them come from homes where example is stronger
than precept ever can be-homes where they are
taught that the taking of ga little wine for the
stomach's sake" is a good thing. We are with
them for few short hours daily, the remainder of
their waking moments they may go forth and meet
on every hand temptation in its most subtle form.
The gilded saloon with its enhancing music is
open they see men, whom they are told to mi-
tate, pass in behind the gilded screen; and that
they are not allowed to enter and view the Interior
buy if they choose what is found there for sale,
only serves to incite their curiosity and awaken
their desire.
Then, too, they are not always deferred from
doing what their elders do Many mother can
recall the hour when she first learned that her son
had been enticed within the unholy walls of the
dram-shop, and the grief with which she follows
him step by step in his downward career to ruin
and death is known only to her own poor broken
heart and God.
Then again we ask is there nothing that can be
done to prevent all this? Yes, there is much
Let the coming Legislature provide for instruction
in the schools of Arkansas on the subject of tenn
perance and morality. Let them see to il that the
youth of the land are taught the terrible results
which invariably follow the habtua use of stimu-
lants, narcotics and opiates. Let them wisely
enact laws to prevent the use of these deadly
posons, and provide for the enforcement of the
laws.
Let the school directors throughout the state
pass resolutions providing for instruction on these
all important themes, for it relates to physical and
mental growth, development and health.
Lessons in physiology and hygiene are already
given. But let these be added for rest assured it
will pay, and the rising generation will grow in
beauty and strength. A TEACHER.

JUST at present the 'woman question" seems
to be disturbing question among the ministers,
and all eyes are turned in their direction to learn
what they propose doing with the rebellious " sis
ters." Their most available arguments, st. PauFs
admonitons, are growing very threadbare, and
what with the wear and tear they are liable to re-
ceiye during the next few years, it is probable
there will be nothing left of them, and the minis
tiers be obliged to content themselves with the re-
Election that no matter how great and good the
lawyer apostle, Paul and some women differ.

heritance is poor rule that rarely works both
ways. First he drinks socially; then he drinks
because he likes it; then he drinks because he
can't help it. Then he is said to inherit it, This
is the solution of the Inheritance problem.

WHEN we consider the magnitude of the great
monster Intemperance, how long it has been
growing and how deeply embedded beneath the
customs and habits of our country, then are we
enabled to realize the work already accomplished
by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
OF the homes which owe them a prayer of praise
and thanksgiving there is kept no record here, but
their number is legion, and no need of fear that
a strict account has not been kept by the record
ing angel The way has been long and toilsome;
many have tainted by the roadside, and some have
turned back, yet still was left a host that have
come forth at last, justly entitled to be called the
"home preservers - of our age.

advice tn the voIlno voter.

Bob Burdette gives the following
advice to the young voter:
Lily son, you will cast your first vote
for President next November. I don't
want to influence your vote. 1
don't want you to vote for a man just
because certain other men do. I want
you to sit down and think about it
before you vote. want you to be able
to give a reason for your vote. I want
you to 60 to the polls in good company.
AS a young man of progressive ideas, I
want you to be abreast of the times and
head and sholders with the times when
you walk up to the polls. | want you,
on entering politics, to align with the
party which has the purest, most pro
gressive record I don't care a cent,
my boy, whether you are Republican
or a Democrat There are honest men,
patriotic citizens. good Christians in
both parties. Only Z don't want to see
you walk up to the polls and cast your
first vote with the party
That upheld human slavery IS 3
divine institution;
That bought and sold men, women
and babies like so E2aay mules;
That fired on Fort Sumter and the
American flag;
That for nearly five years fought to
destroy the Union;
That opposed the issue OF greenbacks
when the government Was fairly perish
ing for the want OF them;
That organized mobs and riots to
oppose the draft;
That swept American commerce from
the seas with armed priv&tee2s;
That polls i58 heaviest maiorities in
the mos5 vicious and ignorant precincts;
Tla.5 IS strongest in the States where
&ha percentage of illiteracy is the great
est;
That has opposed every liberal anG
progressive measure of legislation
during The last quarter of q century;
That was 3 defender Of slavery;
Ths5 i5 q defender of normanism;
That slandered Garfield; and
That assasinatad Lincoln.
Now, as ! have said before, my son, I
don't care whether you are a BepubH-
can or g Democrat. Choose for yourself.
Just keep away from She crowd whose
