taneouS with the news of the collision of
two ocean steamers Oft the New Found

dred persons lost their lives, comes the
report of a collision on the Illinois Cen

sons were injured. to say nothing of a

large ma iority of the so-calIed accidents
that occur on land could be avoided by

thar could be accepted as satisfactory can
be accepted for the collision of two
steam vessels upon the high seas. 4
collision on a railroad may be-often is
the result Of mistake in the order for
the running Of the trains. but no such
excuse can be set up for a collision on the

PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN COMMENT
Christian Advocate tAlethodst, SOUTH.

Christian Advocate (AiethcC!st, South),
It is safe to say that the Methodist
church, south, is solid, not only for tenn
perance, but for prohibition. We do not
mean that it is solid for the Prohibition
party. On the contrary, we do believe
that the thoughtful men of the church,
the men of cool heads, whose Judgment
is sound enough not to be warped and
misled by something that, under the
guise of reform, conceals great dangers.
are solid against any third party move
ment. The Methodist church, south,
has always refused, as church, to take
part in politics, and one element of her
strength has been that, amid the widest
storms of political excitement, her pulpit
has sounded out pure Gospel unmixed
with party politics. 1t is no time now to
surrender this browning glory of past his
tory. What the world wants and expects
from the church is pure Gospel. What
it demands is that she be true to her God
given mission and leave political ones
lions to political parties. Prohibition Is
a great moral question which comes
legitimately within the sphere of her
work, and the pulpit has given no uncer-
tain sound on this question: But when
political hucksters sieze upon this vital
question as a stepping stone to office;
when the political pirates. to advance
their own ends, sugar-coat their obJec-
tionable tenets with prohibition: when
the effort is made to smuggle in womans
suffrage and other evils under the cover
ing of prohibition, and when many zeal
Gus good men are miSled into the belief
that they are bound to stand by every
thing that processes a worthy aim, it is
time for the religious press to speak out,
and we write this to warn the brethren
of the ministry to beware of politicol en-
and to let all Third Party
alone.

General Harrison's speeches at the

spirit by which they are characterized IS
indicative of good judgment on his part.

Kansas does not manufacture wire, cloth

convenient and profitable markets for
her surplus of those necessary commodi-

The Kansas City, Kan. Gazette in dis
cussing the question of common name
for the consolidated cities ut tie mouth

and strong reasons for abandoning, once
for all, every and all other names and
adopting or using that Of Kansas City,
Kan. The Gazette says that in very
few years the state line at that point
will represent the centre Of population
on both sides of the line. In view of
this, and the further fact that the entire
community is essentially Kansas city,
dependent upon Kansas for It's existence
and the wonderful growth and prosperity
it has enjoyed, there seems TO US to be no
room for further argument or reasoning
against the name that has been legalized,
and for the EAGLES part it has discarded
every other.
