As the national convention closes the
Bird of November, we will expect Mrs.
StOddard very soOn,' and then we hope
for a grand rally for our cause. Perhaps
some nave been impatient at the delay
and we would say to them that the w. c.
Il. U. is we'll organized body, and every
thing must move in regular order, wheel
within wheel, and Mrs. Carter upon
whom the responsibility rested, was COM
PEELED to await proper authority before
making any further move. All who feel
the great need of organized temperance
work will not allow their zeal to cool and
we confidently expect ready response
when they are called

the comment upon our press work by
some. Well, may be not but we mean to
just keep an trying to attract the public
eye nevertheless. Perhaps If some
others would contribute bits of informa-
ton on temperance work it would in
crease in interest. Try it White Ribbo-
nerS please.
One of the important features Of our
work is CndeaVoring to help our fallen
sisters but we are sadly hampered by the
fact that there is no avenue of work open
to such and here we have no home to
which we could send them until they
could find suitable employment.
Surely there are sympathetic christian
women enough lin the city to take this
matter under serious adviSement and dis
cover some means whereby such a home
can be built. Here Is a grand work for
some enthusiastic energetic nature, deSir
ing TO show their faith by their works.
CLOSE the SaloOns''-at least on Sun
day-Eiow different the city would be in
a short while if this could be accomplish

The superintendent of prison work of
both unions, report good work done in
that department. They visit the Jail
twice month, in company with ministers
of the gospel. who preach, pray, sing, eX
hort and distribute literature among the
prisoners. All who have literature they
would like to contribute to this cause, can
do so by sending it to Mrs. Chaf1n,
AceQuia street, or to Mrs. s. III. Jackson,
West End.
The saloon men are banding together to
control votes, in order TO have such men
put in Office as will favor this nefariOuS
traffic. In Michigan they are organizing
into regular bodies, with all the usual Of
ticerS, etc, in order to control the election
of prosecuting attorneys, candidates for
the state senate and legislature, and chief
justice of the supreme court. They AFRO
title of gentlemen" and their speeches
real earnest. but we suppose most
of the speakers were more or less
dominated by the gentle and re-
filming influence Of the object which
aroused their enthusiasm and it. could
hardly be expected to talk reasonably.
They desire to perfect an organization
that twill sweep. against the executive
forces of that state with such irreSiStabl
strength that nothing can withstand it. D."
God forbid that such Il blight as that
should ever rest upon the fair name of
Texas. II Il j.
