Praying temperance women have been
arrested in Pittsburg! Some Of these were
aged ladies of the highest standing in the
city, and have lost sons in the defence of
their country. All were rudely and unnec-
essarily conveyed to the common lookup,
by order of acting Mayor McMasters.

hat right have women on the street TO pray.
We must enforce the laws; the law gives you
\ license to sell drink; but in my view,
These crowds and prayers are all Illegal, quite;
We've crowds enough, when men gostagger-

and fight
And xiii, why-then IA crowd is legal-right.

How we should do without the liquor trade?
'Tis perfectly absurd. Ills true, some drink
Too much, but liquor men cannot be made

And take them to the stations: they shall

To quit their prayers and let the liquor rest =
The scene is changed. Three officers and -four

Opinions of Wise.

In the establishment OF a State, neither
a woman as a woman nor q man as a man
has any especial functions but the gifts are
equally ditiused in both sexes-Plato.
sit must be so-Plato thou reasonest
WELL" pagan as thou art. Christian men,
after all these years of injustice, are be-
ginning to perceive the truth and they will
in time obey it..
William II. Seward said "Justice is on
the side of woman suffrage" Chief JUS
tice Chase said, 81 think there will be 10
end to the good that will come by wo-
mans suffrage, on the elected, ON elections,
on government and on woman herself
he seems to have doubt of its coming.
Charles Sumner said: Sin the progress of
civilization woman suffrage is sure to
come" but Chief Justice Chase
more than intimates that this progress of
civilization must be secured by woman
suffrage.
What a long step toward civilization it
would be to have ''the elected placed in
their office by honest methods, and to know
that they could not be bought-to send up
honest men to make the public laws"
Honest candidates secure honest elections
quite as effectually as the much desired
Australian system, by which men seem to
wish to place themselves in a position
where they cannot, or may not, break the
laws against bribery. Some wise solons
and ~solonesses oppose woman suffrage be-
cause they fear its degrading effect upon
women, but the Chief Justice favors it
because of the good effect upon woman
herself"

On Monday Of this week we
began an unusually interesting
sale of all sorts of Housekeep-
ING Linens.
For years past our dealings
in Linen goods have been great
er than those of any other retail
house in America. There have
been good reasons for this:
when we say Linen
we mean pure Linen, not
cotton and linen, or any
of the other make-believes.
Buying direct from the
loom-men we save middle
mems charges, and in this
way are able to put the
prices at the lowest possible
point.

We never had a real invasion of John
Bull since the war of the Revolution until
the last six months. To day he sends
across the water his shiploads of gold; for
what? To buy our great breweries and
our distilleries, elevators in the North
west, and our great flour mills, our mines
and railway stocks. And yet we are told
that they are a poverty stricken people
over there. l say to you, good people,
that if a very low tarif-or free trade, if
you please-enaoles an old WORKOUT conn.,
try like Englana-where seven hundred
men own all its lands, where it is over
populated-if they can accumulate money
enough to come over and buy us out, and
send their ships bearing her to
every part of the world, wouldn't a spoon
full or two Of that kind of medicine be good
for this country?
Did you ever think what this invasion of
John Bull means? Owning all our distil-
leries--owning all our brewelies,
The distiller and the brew or run the
saloons, and the saloon rum the politics of
the country; and the consequence is that
in a few years at this rate John Bull will
w the liquor traffic, the liquor traffic
will own the politicians, and John Bull
will run the politics of this country. Let
me tell you there is but one way to stop
this INVASION of John Bull, and that is:
Blot out the liquor traffic, and put the
Government in the hands of the people
once more.-Er-G0g. 81. John.

1t is fitting here, right on the threshold
of 1890. that we wish our readers a happy
new year. How little we know of what
the future will bring forth. If it was in
mortal ken to horoscope the future, even
for a short twelyempnth, how some of us
would stand appalled, at what a single year
may bring forth. We know of graves dot
ting this and that cemetery over the coun-
try, having occupants now, that a year ago
wore the long sedge and turf unmarried by
the sections mattock and spade. H. may
be chat ia a year from now, aye, much
less than a year from now, the hand that
pens these lines and the one who reads
them may be laid away in the quiet of the
church yard ito sleep that dreamless sleep
that knows no waking" Such thoughts
naturally recur at the beginning of a new
year, and as rational beings it is we'll for
us to pause at these trysting places and
contemplate our own mortality, yes, and
immortality, too. If this life is but the
gateway to another and eternal existence,
we cannot afford to leave the one and en-
ter the other without the amplest p7epara-
tion--a preparation we can make none too
thorough or effective.

Dom Pedro, the deposed Emperor of
Brazil, is just now having his cup of sor-
row filled to the brim. Not only is he de-
posed and exiled, a stranger in a strange
land, but now comes the news that the
country over which he so long and so hap
PLY reigned has charged him with plot
ting against its rule ard has revoked the
decree granting him an annu ity for life.
This would all seem hard enough, but the
most crushing blow came to the ex-Em-
peror on Dec. 18th, when his beloved wife.
the ex-Empress, suddenly died. A despatch
from Rio Janerio says she died with bless
ings upon her lips for her aged husband,
and the future Of her own loved Brazil,
and continues:
1.-THE news of the death of the ex-En-
press Of Brazil reached here to day. and
came as a great shock to the people, Mon
archists and Republicans alike. The re-
greet is very general, for she was greatly
loved, and her charities and good works
were innumerable. 1t is generally admit
ted that she was %scrupulous in avoiding
int rferenee in political affairs. though in
all things that the Emperor did she took
the deepest interest. She had been En-
press AZ years, having arrived at Rio Sept.
3, 1912, when she was received with mag
~nificent ceremonies and the greatest cor
diality ON the part OF the Brazilians."

Temperance men and women, do not for
get this. That the sale of liquor is natur-
ally prohibited in all cases where men OBJ
tain a license to sell. That a license is a
permit. That were there no natural pro-
hibition to prevent wrong-doing, there
would be no legal need for a permit or
license. What the liquor seller demands
is protection in his money-making, life
running work, and TO give it, he asks you
to prohibit yourselves and others the right
to enjoy their natural rights, the same be-
ing to life, to health, to happiness. Liquor
is the aggressive enemy of all these three
natural rights. -P0meroy's Adrance Thought.
