WEEKLY MOTTO:

For the cause that lacks assistance
For the future in the distance,
And the good that can do"

Temperance Union is fighting the tem-

very credltable to us men that we allow
it to be fought by the women."-I-yman

The tireless efforts to secure the open.
ing of the Worlds Fair on Sunday have
all proved fruitless. The gates are
scaled for that day by the NO Of con-
gress. The Chicago Inter Ocean, which
has strongly favored and worked for
Sunday opening, says: "The matter
was really decided when congress Offer
ed the directory gift Of 81, SOC, 900 up.
on condition that the gates be closed on
Sunday, and the gift was accepted on
that condition. The attempt to re-
open the question was like calling upon
the dead to break the eerements of the
grave and come forth to the light of life
once MORE"
The governmental wheels of this re
public do revolvs IN obedience to thl
moral sentiment Of its people, when the
strong grip Of political bsss;sm Is moi
suffered to check their majestic move
ments Whatever may be said in favor
Of Sunday opening of the exposition
the fact remains that the objections te
it have been needed. While it may b,
true that it will entail some fnancia
loss, there are few indeed who will con
tend that the nation will be poorer in
tellectually, and certainly not morally

in freight trxin." says Uncle Nose

President Cleveland is giving evi
dencs of growth intellectually and NOR
ally since he toek the char of the chic
executive eight years ago. It is showl
in the fsarlessness with which he meets
levery question and especially mora
1questions. While he is not total ab
stainer, it Is said that the first question
he asks about a candidate for any pub
lie trust, is. "Does he drink?" H,
apparently intends to apply to politics
the principle whose benefits are so evl
dent in business and social life. In tn.
management Of politics, temperance
requirements are as essential to thu
public welfare IS thay are in the man
agement of r. RS.
The Sunday night promenade con
cert, which was planned to follow The
inaugural ball in the pension building
was not held owing to telegram from
Mr.. Cleveland which said: II decided
tly dlssaprove of the Sunday concert.
His inaugural address closes with
this sentence: "Above all know
there is a Supreme Being, who rule.
the affairs of men and whose geodnes.
and mercy have always followed tn.
American people; and know he viii
not turn from us now if we humbly
seek his powerful aid"
