pronounced on the prohibition question
I.issen to him: Il would like to give ID
little sermon on temperance, and I
would like to make it so plain that
everybody could understand. Some
times a person will insult me by asking
me which side of the temperance or
prohibition I am on? Well, you go to
the thieves, ana burglars, and gamb-
lers, and saloon keepers, and the
IN }}lers of the accursej stuff, and find
out which side they are on, and then
pat III down on the other side. Why
is it that these accursed saloons exist
to-day? Because because men wOr-
ship the god of hell. Suppose man
should come here to-day and take one
of your fairest and brightest children,
and by making few passes over it
CONVEX: it into an idiot; the whole
community would be after him. Mil
lions of dollars would not induce you
to license him to do such a thing il he
do it in ten MINUS, and it is only
question of five yetrs, or possibly ten

WON A GREAT VICTORY.
The Belgian Strikers secure Promise OF
Suffrage.

The belgian Strikers secure Promise OF
Suffrage.
The working classes of Belgium have
won a signal victory in compelling the
central section of the Chamber of Rep
resentatlves to declare in favor of a re-
vision Of the constitution. The great
strike started in the early part OF the
month was unprecedented in IFS motive,
which had nothing to do directly with
wages or hours, but was intended
as the only protest that the dis
franchlsed workingmen could make
against the denial OF the suffrage. They
determined that if they could not vote
they would not work and that the con-
stitution must be revised in the interest
of liberal suffrage. The peuple, organ
of the wOrkingmcn, called on the min
istrv TO make frank declaration re-
gardlng the revision of the constitution.
which the workingmen believed to be
destined TO oblivion by calculated de-
laws
The strike spread throughout the four
great coal basins of Belgium, one after
another the various industries fell into
line with the movement. and trade and
commerce were threatened with paralv-
sis. The leading mine owners and
lntldliufglSlS became alarmed. 1neN
exposed to the King the immense injury
already done and the greater injury
threatened 10 Belgium industry by the
delay in voting for revision. The
traders of Seraing petitioned the cham
berS In the same sense. The widest
rumors got atioat and almost caused Il
panic. 1t was said and even published
that German troops would enter Bel
gium to re-estabish order This report
aroused patriotic Indignation. but did
not put an end to the strike. Numor-
Gus arrests We're made with view to
Coercing the strikers, but the men re-
manned firm, and at length the majority
Of the chamber formally signitied their
willingness TO support the proposed re-
vision and aid in etfecting substantial
reform. On the DIST the strike ended.
and the Belgian workingmen are every
where lubllant over their victory.
Should there be any faltering on the
part Of the ministry or the chamber, the
workingmen stand ready to come ont
again at the call of their leaders.
