STRONG TEMPERANCE RESOLUTIONS
Passed Dy the Evangelical Conference II
Session at Lebanon, Pa.

Passed by the Evangelical Conference in
Session at Lebanon, Pa.
LEBANON, Pa, Feb. 2i.-At the Saturday
session of the Evangelical Conference the
Committee on Temperance presented the
following report:
"WHEREAs, The traffic in the manufacture
and sale OF intoxicants, sanctioned and pro
tected by the law has proved itself one of
the boldestand most fatal foes to the church,
the nation and the home; and,
"Whereas, The traffic is strictly forbidden
in the Word of God and in our church laws,
and because it is not only sin intrinsically,
put Its woeful effects are so destructive upon
both the temporal and spiritual economy of
all government; and
"Whereas, The two great political parties
or our land Enthusiastically have adopted the
license principle as u method of controlling
the evil, and consequently main ntaining it.
ana thus are under the control of the liquor
power, and they have abundantly demon
strated by an audacious defiance of temper
ance principles that we Gin expect no rellef
through their political measures, therefore,
Resolved, First, That we are uncompro-
misingly opposed to any political measure
that would legalze the saloon and give the
perniciouS traff the sanction of the law.
Resolved, Second That we, as Il confer
ence, insist upon a strict obedience OF our
church discipline in this matter, and deem
1t Il direct violation of our law for a member
OF our church TO sign an application, or i'll
any way forward the cause OF the saloon by
his influence.
Resolved, Third, That we, as confer
ence. deeply deplore that the directors of the
worlds Fair propose to license the sale of
1ntoxicants at the Worlds Fair, and that we
protest against such as unchristian and
damaging upon not our nation alone, but
upon all the different nationalities partici-
putting in the great Exposition; and, that we
earnestly request that the commissioners
veto such privilege"

QUITE MARGIN

The New York Press in its steady
capacity of organ for the Nicaragua Canal
scheme vigorously attacks a man who, Oh
the strength of his own personal observa.
tions in Nicaragua, has had the hardihood
to assert that very little actual work has
been done on the ditch.
This reckless creation of an abandoned
imagination is confuted by the Press with
the assertion: There were over 80 miles
of surveying done for every mile, not only
of clearing, but of the whole route pro.
posed, and Chief Engineer MeDoeal has
thoroughly familiariZed himself with the
country, above and below the surface, as
to its physical features -
This makes it all the more necessary for
the esteemed Press to explain-which ii
has up to this time singularly omitted to
dO-where the profits are to go from the
loan of the credit Of the United States to
the extent Of 500, OOO, 600, on a work which
is estimated by this same competent and
painStaking engineer TO cost S65. .OOO, 900.
The Press threatens that, if the present
project does not succeed, the time will
come when the United States Government
will be forced by public opinion to build
the canal itself Supposing that to be the
case, the comparison OF estimates with the
subsidy raid indicates that the United
States will save $4,000, 900 by that course.

GOLD STILL GOES.

There is an intimation of some factor in
| the balance of trade not yet brought to
! general knowledge in the statement that
! the steamers sailing from New York on
! Saturday took out $4,000 of gold Half
a million is not a very big amount of gold
! TO be shipped, but the fact of any gold at
all going to Europe is so far from what
was generally expected as to merit some
investigation.
| This shipment takes place after months
of funprecedentedly large expectations, and
against the expectations of a continuance
of the heavy outflow of breadstuffs. While
imports have been large, they have not
been so heavy as to prevent a comfortable
balance in favor of this country. Such a
balance in former years has resulted in
importations of gold; but the conditions
at present are such that after about half
of the gold taken from this country last
spring has returned the expectation has
resumed Unless the trade statistics are
hopelessly unreliable, there is some in
fluence affecting the movements of specie
outside those indicated by the returns.
That this is the case is rendered quite
probable by the fact that the quotations
for sterling exchange do not require gold
to be shipped This was the case last
spring, and the deduction was that some one
in Europe wanted gold even when it cost
a fraction more than sterling bills. But
what influence produces this anomaly has
not yet been explained. The boarding of
GOLD in anticipation of trouble in Europe;
the return of stocks to this country by for
eign investors; the preference for gold by
European creditors on account of the
silver scare, all are theories to explain the
state of affairs, but none of them have as
yet received any distinct confederation IN
fact
At all events, the expectation of gold
cannot be very heavy while we have COM
mand of the grain supply of the world as
at present. But the readiness of this
specie to take wings for foreign flight
gives us a strong intimation of what may
be expected in moderate crop year, with
importations continued on their present
scale.
