HIGH license as against Prohibition

HIGH license as against Prohibition
seems to have won final victory in the
United States. The elections in Penn
sylvania and Connecticut and other
States of the far East, supplemented as
they have been by such Waterloo as
that encountered by the Prohibitionists
in Iowa, have sent the Prohibition
movement back twenty years. The ex-
tremes to which the fanaticism was
pushed in the Hawkeye State was sure
to result in reaction. By the laws Of
that State it was made crime to import
wine, even for the sacramental rights of
Christians. This was an interference
not only with the natural, but the relig-
ious privileges of the citizen. 1t dis
puted his right to worship God according
to the dictates of his conscience, and it
really established religious test because
the Episcopalians, Roman Catholics and
the members of other religious demon.

tives, and he therefore appealed to
all the forces of the Democracy to rally
around the Republicans. Tirard, Prime
Minister, also addressed the Chamber.
He said: Universal suffrage has finally
been crowned with the triumph of the
Democracy, by the recent elections,
inviting all Frenchmen to unite under
the banner which the Republic has
raised above parties, and which from
this day forward is above attack. France
has not only signified that she intends to
maintain, fortify and develop the in
situations which che has founded,
but is resolved that Republic ehall

order, progress and respect at home and
abroad. We propose to put aside ques-
tions irritating and dividing mems minds,
and to direct our whole attention to the
solution of the problems OF economy and
social Justice"
In conclusion ne SAID: Alter the Tx
position no one in the world has a right
to entertain a suspicion as to the peaceful
sentiments Of our country. Let us
then labor together to complete
the organization of the Democracy. You
have right to demand of us persevering
firmness. We need your confidence.
In communicating to you our plans we
ask you cooperation In the name of the
Republic"
Manjan (Radical) moved that urgency

announcement of this victory for the
Government was received with cheers.

this cogent argument might be added
the fact that the Democratic party is
keeping it's old strongholds and gaining
new ones. General Harrison's friends

Republican standard bearer will be, if he
is alive and we'll. No eager aspirants

Democratic future, says that the new

Electoral Colleges. What difference
does that make when States that were

man to invite over again the roasting ne

SALT LAKE Cry, November 19.-The
investigation in regard to Mormon obi
cations was continued today before Judge
Anderson. The defense introduced much
documentary evidence to show that the
church was not disloyal, and to contro.
vert the statements as to murders, etc.
Charles W. Penroee, one of the best
known preachers in the church, denied
that the President OF the church ever or
dered the killing of any man for apostacy.
He understood the doctrine of blood
atonement to mean when man COM
mitted murder or adultery be should be
killed. The church had no authority to
kill a man for adultery, but believed
when the law of God was fully estab-
lished the penalty would be death. Wit.
ness declined to answer the question az
to how many wives he had, and was
finally given until tomorrow morning to
reply or go to jail.

The effect Of this is to leave with the
local assemblies to get as short hours as
consistent with the different kinds of
work. The central assembly favors a
gradual reduction of the time, but is op-
posed to any radical movement.

THE secession of Mrs. }. Ellen Fos-
ter, President of the Iowa delegation to the
Convention of the w. G. T. u, recently
in session at Chicago. is q manifest
political movement in favor OF the Re-
publican party. The w. G. T. U. decid-
ed, by avery large majority vote, to stand
by the Prohibition party and to make the
fight at the polls in favor of that organ
ization. The Republican leaders are
convinced that the Prohibitionists draw
more votes from their party than are
taken from the Democrats, and it is
therefore plain that whenever they can
throw disorganizing bombshell into the
ranks of the organizations that are sup.
porting the Prohibition party they are
only too glad to do SO. But the with
drawal of the Iowa delegation was not
followed, as it was expected it would be
by the Republicans behind this move.
ment, with the secession of other delega-
lions. The Iowa ladies went out and the
Convention resumed its work as if moth
ing had happened. The failure of this
shrewd attempt to break up the w. G.
T. U shows that the influence of the
Republican party over those of it's mem
bers who have joined the Prohibition
party, is powerless to swerve them. Like
the old Abolitionists, they have organ
lied a political organization on their
peculiar ideas and intend to stay by it.
Hereaway the Prohihitionists of Repub-
lean antecedents are far more incensed
against the Republican than the Demo-
cratic party, for they hold that the former
has deceived them by false promises,
VII Set the latter has never even ccquetted
with thea for political support.
