Great advantage will come to reform voters

cause VIC could not man the polls, hEving neither

Thus outside forces in our civilization are
constantly working for the temperance reform
by that method of direction which SO often
proves to 10 the parabela Of power.
As is well known, the landing place Of tnmt-
grants is no longer Castle Garden but the
United States barge office near by. In the
forty-thrco years that they have been required
to lend here more than 9,G00,o00 foreigners have
como to us over 2,50G, GOO Of these being Irish,
n1arly s,5ooo0o Gorpsans and nearly 100000
English. It is to the Everlasting credit Of Score

from these premises where 1t has held sway for
forty years
Tho National convention in New York last
spring Was grand rally of temperance troops,
but will be longest remembered for its exhibi-
ton of tho lack of cohesive force among the adj
vocates of the great reform. Disciples of mod
crate drinking and high license appeared on the
same platform with total abstainers and proh1-
bitionists. To my mind there is small advan.
ges In these exhibitions An amalgam can be
med only from materials that will amalga-
mate "We wait beneath the furnace blast the
pangs OF transformation Heat that fuses and
pressure that blends alone compact for
practical use the elements OF reform. "As gold
is tried in the fire, so hearts must be tried by
pain" Nothing will heat and press and purify
into one mass of Gods incarnate power the
temperance people OF this country except the
na tiona battle Of the ballot-box; the thunder of
its coming cannonade already rumbles, and its
fateful Hghtnings send their flash into the
depths Of character and motive. God hold US
steady in that terrific fight.

The Situation in New England.

New York Post.
The information W h ic h
comes from Connecticut that
many lifelong republicans in
that State are going over o.
penl.y to the side ofCIeveland
and tariff reform will surprise
no one who is familiar with
the sentiment in New Eng
land toward the tariff qnes-
ton. Ever since the. passage
of the Mckinley law, there
has been in all the New Eng
land States a steadily in
creasing body OF republican
voters who have reached the
conclusion that the only way
by which New England indus
tries can secure the free raw
materials necessary for theil
continued existence is by lea.
wing the republican party
and vote with the democrats
They demanded free raw ma
tpl'ials OF the Mckinley Con
gress, and were not only met
with refusal, but with higher
duties. That was sa tisfa ctO
ry proof to them that thcr'
was no hope OF relief through
the republican party. Il h
consequences is that the dem
,ocratic tariff plank attract
them. The Times gives til,

is possible for a man OF his
glacial temperament to get.
He is mad with those repub-
llican Senator's who voted for
the Stewart free coinage bill,
but it is upon the head OF
Vice President Morton that
the vials of his hottest wrath
are being figuratively empt-
led. Had Mr.. Morton heen
in his seat as presiding off
Ger OF the Senate wien Sena-
tor Vest moved to postpone
consideration VI the free coin
age bill until-next December
the motion would have been
carried, and the present di-
lnmma escaped, as the vote
thereon was q tie, and Mr..
Morton, who is opposed to
free coinage, would have had
the cnsting of the decisive
vote. Mr.. Harrison is doing
everything in his power to
prevent the free coinage bill
passing the House although
it is stated that heis anxious
to veto it.
Congress is not in session
today. To-morsow the free
.. coinage bill will be t a k e n
