POLITICS IN THE PULPIT.
Secretary Baker Advocates Third
Party Principles From the Pulpit.

| Secretary Baker Advocates Third
i Party Principles From the Pulpit.
THE blighting curse ofintemrerance con-
| tinues to exert its baneful influence upon
the individual and national life of our pc,
ple.' says Secretary Baker in his report.
'Ai methods of so, called restriction or
| regulation for the suppre sion OF this vice
have been proven. inadequate as means
therefore we discredit and denounce al
systems of license whether high or low as
vicious i'll principle and powerless as
remedies ," We further believe it to
be the duty of the civil government to.
repudiate the liquor traffic by refusing to
give legal sanction to or accepting a money
consideration from So iniquitous business
I'VE believe that the only civil remedy
for the evils of intemperance, is the
complete constitutional prohibition by
State aud National enactment of the manu-
facture and sale of alcoholic liquors as
beverage. This position is the only one
consistent with the teachings of the Bible
and in accord with the best interests of hu-
manity. As preachers of the eospe,
we should make ourselves heard in the advo-
cacy of this wholesome doctrine, bo'h in
the pulpit and ON the platform. And at
the ballot box, where the most effective
blows may be dealt in the support of this re-
form, we should make ourselves examples
to our people by voting with those PARTIES
and for those candidates who are pledged
to this result
The report was signed by C. s. Baker, F.
C. MacSorley, Thomas E. Terry and V. s.
Collins, and was adopted
An amendment, having for its aim the
form alton of temperance league was
offered by ], B. Quigg, and was also
adopted.

HON. ELI SALISBURY died at his
home in Doveren Wednesday at noon, in
bis. 10Th year. He was the last of the
three brothers who have played such
prominent part in the politics of this
State. His moral character was above
reproach. He was All earnest Christian
and member of the M. E. Church,
and actively interested in the Confer
encc Academy. For Is years he was
in the United States Senate, but was
never an ambitious politician. His
conservatism was in keeping with The
spirit of earlier days. His State out
grew him, and in 1888 elected Anthony
Higgins, an aggressive and represent
ative Republican, as his successor. Mr..
Salisbury was never married.

Hon. Anthony Higgins, the distin

livered in Detroit, Mich, on the 22nd
of last month, the York, Pa. Dispatch
says, the strongest and most states.
manlike speech on the destiny of this
continent and the annexf tion OF Canada
that has ever been uttered in this coun.
try for many years. In contradiction
to the obstructionist in the pathway OF
national progress, and of those brave,
strong and uncompromising believers
in the continent being covered by The
American flag. 1t is remarkable for its
higher manhood and exalted patriot
ism. Senator Higgins does not
believe in taking off our hat
and saying to any foreign power
by your leave, may We take what
rightfully belongs to us?' The march
Of destiny, in the Senator's eloquent
language, expelled the Dutch, drove
the French from the continent, ..in-
duced Napoleon to sell us Louisiana,
giving us control of the Mississippi,
and Spain to yield Florida and Texas
and then the acquisition of the northern
provinces of Mexico. Then came
Russia, and for nominal consideration
it handed us Alaska. Now come the
Hawaiians and ask us to throw our
shield over them as their natural asso-
ciates in political union, Cuba must do
the same thing ere long, and we might
as well try to stop the hurricanes
march as stop the Inevitable annexa-
tion of Canada.

WHERE WE STAND.

The PopulIst paper says THE JOUR-
NAL is standing in with Governor
Pennoyer in return for the state adver-
tising. Nothing could be further from
the truth. No newspaper in the state
has shown up the present Populist gov.
ernor Of Oregon in a more unsparing
manner than THE JOURNAL. And
everybody, the governor included,
knows that we mean every word we
say and do not criticise any man for
the sake Of being eaptious or for per
soDal reasons. At times in the past we
have commended the governor. But
that was when he was still Democra,
and was elected by Republican votes
1t would be bard for a Democrat to moi
sometimes do something that was com.
mendsble and we never hesitate to
commend an Official who does a good
act. In that way Pennoyer got com.
mendation when he deserved it and
condemnation when it was deserved.
As to standing in" it is one of the al
ways untruthful PopuIist lies about
those they imagine stand In their way.
