1t Is encouraging to see what grand
work our white ribbon women are do
ing all over the world; the following
little clipping from Christian paper
shows something of what has been done
but much more is still being done:
The summary of the work done by
the Woman's Temperance Uuion is as
follows: "A review of the work which
has been accomplished by the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union includes
the introduction of scientific temper
ance education into all the States, into
all the provinces of Canada and in
great centers throughout the world; a
petition circulated in every civilized
nation for the total suppression of the
legaliZed traffic in alcoholics and OPT
um; the establishment of publishing
house in Chicago which sends out over
one hundred million pages annually;
the founding of a National Temper
ance hospital and the erection of a
Woman's Temperance Temple, costing
over million dollars, which is one of
the finest buildings in the city of Chi
cago, and whose rentals are intended
TO serve as a source of income by which
to carry on the temperance work of
women. There are 10000 local socie-
ties in the United States with follow
ing of half million members and adj
herents."

If any one of our readers has had
the privilege of going to Chicago this
year and stopping in the grand Temple
we would be so glad to have a descrip-
ton of that wonderful building in the
Column so that we may all feel that
we know more about it than simply
that it is Temperance Temple built
by temperance woman. Let us hear
all about it and all about the noon day
prayer meetings held in Willard Hall.
1t would be interesting matter for all
white ribboners.

Girls, SO much depends on you in
the work for the Master, and if your
time aud thoughts are filled with the
peyusal of impure, hurttul books. TEEN
ing with ideas which should most en-
ter your pure minds, how can you be
fitted to take your proper place in the
ranks of good and true women, who
need you to help them plead with the
erring one. lift up the fallen ?" Don't
read to kill time Once begin to do
the work each will find ready at hand
upon looking for it, and spare time will
become scarce commodity, and you
will wish for means to prolong, instead
of kill it. Read for improvement and
healthy pleasure. When you have
wasted day on 'Claribels Love Story,
| or The Romance of Black VEIL" do
you feel yourself better or worse off
The most you can hope for, is that you
have stood still. Oh, my dears, go high
er than that What is it to you if
Claribel has cruel guardian, who re-
fused to let her we'd Bernards,' or that
there is fair haired rival, to whose
charms her lover falls victim leaving
her all forlorn, and what does she do
Does she-as true womanly woman
would, set about making the most of
the rest of her life, putting her sorrows
away and living so that the world is
better for her having lived? No: me
thinks she '!hies her to nunnery.
and there under long black veil, ''eat :
her heart out" in lifelong devotion
to man in no way worthy of her love
and you, familiar with their face,
learn to like these morbid, silly senti-
mental 'tales of VICE." and your taste
becomes so vitiated that book with
brood sentiments, books calculated to
lift you to higher plain, where you
get an idea of the earnest work there
is to be done in the world, are bore
to you, and you had rather read moth
ing.
Read love stories, if you like, but let
them tell of pure, unselfish, honest
love, not the passionate, fervid emo
tions of which Bertha Clay, Edgar Sal
tus and like authors treat.
We do not blame the girls entirely
for their taste. Too often. alas; the
mother will delight as much in the
senseless or coarse story as the limo
cent daughter. Innocent now, but how
long can she remain SO at that rate !?
There is as much danger to the girls in
indiscriminate reading of doubtful or
harmful books, as there is to the boys
in drinking.
Let us call halt, and try to realize
that our days are Gods, not our own,
and we will surely have to give account
of them in that last great day, and [
think we will be more earnest and con-
scientious in our use of them.

While it is matter of great regret
to temperance women throughout the
United States that our beloved Presi-
dent cannot be present at the National
Convention this grand Columbian year
and enjoy all the rich feast that will
be spread for w. c. T. U. women in
Chicago as well as to visit the great
Exposition, it is still 50 wise for her to
rest and follow her physicians direc
lions that we feel deeply thankful that
she is taking that rest and we hope she
will be stronger and better able to per-
form her arduous duties than ever be-
fore. 1t has been predicted that the
next ten years of her life will be the
best of all her life up to that time.
When we review the past and see the
grand work she has accomplished al
ready it seems impossible that any
thing could be better. Long may she
live to bless the world with her pres
ence and her wonderful wisdom.

The Chicago Tribune devotes a column
OF editorial space to argument (?)
against a graduated income tax. The
writer first asserts that the much ma
ligned multi-millionaires are really
philanthropic patriots, paying in all
the government revenues now, in add.
ton to keeping the wheels of Industrial
progress revolving and filing the
hands of labor. Then he proceeds
to demonstrate that if an income
tax is levied these same millionaires
will evade it by false returns and the
burden of it will fall on 'the widows
and orphans estates" This is proving
too much. The man who will try to
evade the income tax will and does get
out of paying his lawful dues under the
present system of taxation. Moreover,
all plutocratic sheets of the Tribune
stamp meet every suggestion of reform
in finance and taxation with this cry OF
robbery Of widows and orphans
estates" and it has been so overworked
it is losing force. Vanguard.

not the slightest shadow of an excuse,
for any conscientious person opposing
a just bill because that justice subserves
private interests In factit is the pri-

And we question if the masses to-day
would be rising in rebellion against
gigantic frauds if it were not for the
private interests of every person in

The most stupendous efforts are be-
ing made to defeat the bill In its dis
cussion the most rancorous ignorance
is exhibited by its foes
A Louisiana senator. on the 4th in
slant, in a whirlwind of rhetoric, de.
clared that all the commerce of the
world, the traffic of tradesmen, the pur-
chase of all necessaries of life-were
but the buying of property in hopes of
a rise so as to sell at a profit Such
outrageous ignorance was uttered to a
senate OF supposed wise men, and was
unrebuked. The statement was vital
to the bill. The speech was potent
though failing to carry an amendment
which would have destroyed the bill.
The fact is, no legitimate merchant
buys to wait or expect rise. The uni
versal merchant buys in quantity to
make a persectage on distribution, ex-
pecting and requiring steady market.
And the statement of the Louisiana
senator was false even as to the illigit-
innate and piratical work of the wind

1t is only the dupes-the lambs, the
fresh bumpkins-who are buyers for a
rise, except at intermittent speculative
periods of short duration.
Not one bushel in a thousand is
bought for rise by the regulars on the
boards. The stuff, be it grain or cot
ton or pork, is sold for a drop and the
purchases are to cover such sales.
On that same day, however, the ene-
mics of the anti-option bill got black
eve. The amendment to destroy its
force was defeated by plump major
ity.

option bill as one of the giant strides

THERE is NO CHOICE.
An Honest Populist Loves One Old Par
as Well as He Loves the Other.

An Honest Populist Loves One Old Party
as Well as He Loves the Other.
To an earnest, honest peoples party
man there is no choice between the re-
publican and democratic parties, and
the mollycodling between faction Of
populists and democrats is simply sur
render of the principles announced in
the Omaha platform.
The democrats are as inimical to our
reforms as are the republicans, and
their only reason for fraternizing with
us is to strengthen themselves.
Fusion with democrats or republic
ans is treason to principle.
Does anybody look for any kind Of
relief from the incoming Cleveland adj
ministration?
The democrats are as truculent to the
gold-bugs of Wall street as are the re-
publicans, and will follow out the same
financial policy that is making this a
nation Of millionaires and paupers.
is there a democrat legislator at To-
peka or Washington that dares, from
the floor Of the house in which he sits.
proclaim the doctrine that occupancy
and use is the only just title to land?
VIII the democrats at either capital
seek to establish the ownership and
control of railroads, telegraphs, tele-
phones and all public utilities of ma
tional character?
On the contrary, everybody knows
they will fight the reforms demanded
in the Omaha platform to the bitter
end.
The democrats propose TO us a little,
sawed.off reduction-of-tariff bill. and
that is all.
The measure of tariff reform is not
even ''Aea-bite" to what the popuists
demand, and would give about as much
relief as ''soup-house" does to the
swarming poor Of a great city.
Absolute free trade is the goal of the
populist, and he will be satisfied with
nothing less.
The democracy is as far from being a
free trade party as it is from being
greenback or legal-tender party.
Populists would wipe out custom
houses, national banks, landlords, rail.
roads, and all other corporations at a
single blow, whereas democrats listen
with holy horror to such iconoclasm,
and would join hands with the repub.
licans TO prevent its consummation.
Honest populist have no use for dem.
ocrats only to convert them and bring
them into the populist fold Neither
have they any use for republicans be
yond bringing them to the light of the
gospel Of humanity, and asking then
to join us in our crusade against the
shameless iniquities practiced on the
masses by the classes.
No trucking, no compromising, nc
fusion, no deals with republican, demo
crat or devil.

it will be remembered made no recommends
ton to Congress, the committee deeming that
its duty was finished when it had prepared a

Mr.. PETER, the Farmers Alliance Senator.
thinks, however. that the committee did not 90
far enough, but believes that nothing in the
way of legislation could be accomplished
at this late day in the session.
For this reason he will not take anv
steps this session. Mr.. PETER said to-
day that he firmly believed that Congress
had the power and the authority to regu-
late the movement of these armed
bodies of men from one state to
another and he proposed soon as possible
III the coming session to introduce a bill in

his proposed measure may not be what is re-
quired. MIR. PETER says that il is only by
discussion that bill OF some sort would bring
about that the proper remedy can be ascer-
tanned and applied.

There was backset to the bill to admit the
four territories to statehood this morning, but
Mr.. Carey, who has the matter in charge saws
1t is but temporary defeat. Today
during the morning hour Mr.. Carey
called up the bill for the purpose of getting
it before the Senate and ordering it printed
Mr. Plat. chairman OF the committee on terri
tories, who is opposed to the admission of any
more states at present, objected and Mr.. Carey
forced the issue by moving that the bill be taken
up. On a Yea and nay vote his motion was de-
feated by somewhat decisive vote of 80 nays
and IA years. There appears to have been a
fear on the part of some Senators
that Mr.. Carey sought to displace
the Nicaragua bill, and this is to some
extent accountable for the vote. Some Sena-
tors, particularly among the democrats, will
vote for the bill when the canal matter
is out of the way. Mr.. Carey saws
that the opposition to the admission of
the territories had their votes present
and the friends Of the bill did not. On square
vote without anything to interfere. he is con-
fdent the territories will be admitted. No
further attempt will be made to get
the bill up in the morning hour,
but Mr.. Carey will wait until the
Nicaraguan bill is finished. when under the
agreement Of the caucus he will call it up and
he expects to have the majority on his side.s
