Mrs. Leayi,rtnI London.

Mrs. Mary C. Leavitt, the round the
world missionary of the w. G. T. o.. re-
ceived warm welcome upon her arrival
in London. Mrs. Lucas, the sister of John
Bright, presided at the reception given to
Mrs. Leavitt by the British Women's Tenn
perance Association, which has four hun
dred branches and thirty thousand men,
bers. Among those present were Mrs.
Ormiston Chant and Miss Olive Schreiner.
Miss Schreiner made a brief address. She
cordially welcomed Mrs. Leavitt, and told
her own experiences in Cape Colony, where
for many years she had been the only wo-
man who spoke on temperance, and was
thought to be doing a monstrous thing in
appearing on the platform. Mrs. Leayitt
during her tour around the world, has adj
dressed thirteen hundred meetings in Aus
tralia, India, Africa, China and Japan.
She comes home a stronger believer in
woman suffrage than when she started

After all we believe a union of Prohibi-
ton and Republican strength on the basis
OF the law for the Prohibitionists and the
profits for the Republicans, possible in this
State at this time, and not only possible,
but desirable, just as union of this kind
in Democratic state elsewhere, might be
both possible and desirable.
And why not? OF what use is a balance
of power strength, If not USED?
Since the Republicans of New Jersey
have made advances along the TEN perance
line and oyertures to the Prohibition party.
would it be lowering the Prohibition
standard TO meet them half way, and say
in effect, "What we want as Prohibitions
lists of New Jersey is to have law against
the traffic of intoxicants and have a party
behind that law pledged to its enforcement
and if you are the party we're looking for.
there will be no difficulty as to the union, =
or would it better to meet them with the
taunt, you're no better than the rum
party and not to be trusted. SO You go
your way and we'll pull ours and thereby
LEI the rum party into power every time. >
Which would be best?
We know there are those who believe
that the Republican party could not be de-
pended upon to enforce prohibitory law,
(even in counties or cities had they the
power, but all know, Republicans and
Prohibitionsts alike, that the party or or
ganization that fails in its pledges made
has but short lease OF power at the most,
and no possible future.
Anyhow, if Prohibitionists and Repub-
leans in this State could unite on some
basis of agreement honorable to each, it
would not be long before the last battle
with the rum power in this State would be
fought to finish

Talk about the saloon business. These
fellows are running hog business. They
give several degrees. A fellow goes there
and gets schooled. The well-bred, honor
able man who goes there makes associa-
tions, and he is going to graduate either a
hog or hyena. There is no bar-room in
America that is not in the hog making
business. Some of you are heading for the
hog pen as sure as you and God live. You
are helping to ran them (the saloons),
praising them, asssciating with their pat
rons, and voting for them. You are keep
ing them here, while they are sending you
to hell; God help you to see it. You are
saddled, bridled with what the hogs can
not stand.

ended9 Not by the sole administration of
men who are unwilling even to protect
childhood. Witness the defeat in Della

prostitution was of all others the crime

boarded in first.class boarding house
on Fourth Avenue, New York, where
there were six ladies OF superior mental
and executive ability. One was writing
Sunday school literature of the best kind,
a lady of wealth and prominence, the Sis
ter of an Episcopal bishop. Another was
considered to be adequate to any Office
from the President of the United States
down. Another was from the highest
walks of literature. With all their other
endowments, their aggregated wealth was
at least half a million of dollars. On cleo
ton day, the poor colored servant, whose
genius never aspired higher than to keep
the furnace fires in the cellar, and clean
up the ashes, came in early, asking,
'Please, missis, let me take up der ashes
from your crate quite airly to-day, as
wants to 60 to der polls to do my duty;
say, missis, to do my duty?" We all stayed
in the house, while this man went and
''dd his duty" | looked up in one lady s
face and said, ''He has gone to vote for us,
to elect suitable men to make the best
laws to govern our country, and fix our
rates of taxes, that We may know how
much we should pay" That minute
jumped over the fence, and cried, "From
this moment am now and hereafter in
favor of woman's voting. / will not place
my love and interest for my country's veal
behind any mans. | would willingly give
my hearts blood for her welfare"

the Continent, attending W. c. T. L. con-
ventions and other gatherings, come in
contact with some of the noblest women of
America, mingled with them privately, as
well as publicly, and do not remember to
have met more than one who would not
vote for her country, for God, and home,
and native land. AS Twas publicly ''hold-
ing forth the word of life, !" some more con-
sentative ladies exclaimed, ''Oh, would
you vote? l am surprised" Ireplied, 81

please them and the quality Of their sub

The resolutions passed 10y the Trades
Council two weeks ago, which criticized

to the safety of tenement houses in the
matter of fire escapes, were read at a re-
cent meeting of the Court of Common
Council. Alderman klener was offended

and thought the demdHd for reform i'm
pudent. He remarked that it was de
mand and not a request. Well, Charles,
that's the way of the Trades Council.
If the peoples servants don't attend to
their duties, the people havea right to
make their demands, If any alderman
feels that he is too big for the position
he occupies, he has his remedy. a
little more of the spirit of the old
Trades Council infused into the citizens
of New Haven generally would have a
beneficial effect. There is no good rea-
son why New Haven should not have
the best of service from its public func-
tionaries. There is certainly no good
reason why il should not have capable

SOCIALISM IS AMERICAN.

Edward Everett Hale, Of Boston,
a member Of the Nationalist Club,
speaking Of the name "Nationali,t,' and
Of the functions Of government, says:
"The name Nationalist seems to me a
poor name. First, because 1t is used for
40 many other things; and second, be
cause it does not express in any way the
present necessity, For instance, the
particular battle at this moment is the
persuadlng Of the Legislature that the
city Of Boston has as good right to
distribute gas to the people AS it has to
distribute water.
ut is almost absurd to say that
local question like this heIongs espe-
cialy to the Nationalist Society, and
it is great pity that so poor a name
should be given to such an endeavor
ut should be- understood, then, that
the Nationalist Club, so called, unites
people who think that the nation ought
to have the charge Of every industry,
with other persons who believe in the
old fashioned American system, which
is, that my community, town, State
or nation, ought to be permitted to do
what il can do better than any one else.
This matter would not be at all con
fused if it were not that two-thirds of
our writers for the press write under
simply European education, without
any experience in the practical habits Of
our own country. But a boy who has
grown up in a country town knows
perfectly well that a town can build a
