We find in the Daily NEWS, published at
Aberdeen, S. DE- the following report of
Sunday 's..proceedings preceding the w. G.
T. U. State Convention, held in that city
Sept. 10th, in which a merited tribute is paid
to our gifted townswoman, Mrs. Mary A.
Woodbridge, who delivered the annual ad-
dress at the Convention. Wherever this tai
ented woman appears it is the same story
delighted audiences and repeated demands
for her re-appearance in the pulpitor on the
lecture platform. Ravenna people feel a
commendable pride in the work of Mrs.
Woodbridge and the distinguished recogni-
ton everywhere accorded her, and will read
with much interest this one of the hundreds
of similar tributes rendered her by the keen
critics of the press.
"Sunday will be recalled by visitors and
citizens as a notable day of the convention.
In the morning Mrs. Woodbridge preached
with marked impressiveness at the Method
ist Church to a congregation which fully
tested the capacity of that edihce. Many
heard her for the first ume-nearly all in
fact-and were charmed with her noble
bearing, her earnest, clear-cut words, and
her air of deep, christian sincerity. Few
more enjoyable religious services have ever
been held in the city.
In the evening this gifted lady addressed
one of the largest union audiences which
ever attempted to force its way into the opera
house. Every foot of available space was
occupied and hundreds despaired of admis
sion and turned away. Still others in large
numbers remained to stand upon their fee
during the long exercises, and scarcely g
person, so deep was the interest, retired from
the house, having once obtained hearing
place. Hundreds who seldom visit church
were greatly impressed with this service
Mrs. Woodbridge spoke extemporaneously
of the more important phases of the Liquor
issue, and also discussed, in measure Incl
dentally but no less effectively, the labor
| troubles of the day and the dangers threat
ening the republic. The topics were old, ,bu
| their manner of treatment presented nothing
of the hackneyed. The inertia of the church
and the iniquities of partisanship were un
covered. Personal experiences in Chicago
! and elsewhere were given with telling effect
Moral suasion, regulation, so-called, ano
other methods of dealing with the liquor
traffic were handled and illustrated mos
| skillfully, and the deduction drawn tha
prohibition is the only thing to permanently
and radically remedy the evil. The hope
and salvation of the nation lie in the recog
milton of the universal brotherhood of man
kind and full sense of individual respons
ibility. The effort was most effective anG
eloquent.

Health and Happiness.

HONEY OF FIGS is the QUEEN of all cathartics,
syrups or pills. One anticipates its taking with
pleasure. No other remedy sells so well, or
gives such satisfaction. 1t acts gently on mac
tive bowels or liver, relieves the kidneys, cures
consumption, colds, fevers, nervous headaches,
etc., and restores the beauty of health. Ladies
and children prefer it. Doctors and druggists
recommend it. THE Fig HONEY Co., of San
Francisco, make it. Try bottle. Only one

THE Populists are losing ground rapidly
each day of their campaigning. By endors-
ing such cranks as Coxey and such insanities
as the sgood roads panacea," they have
shown their organization to be utterly un-
worthy of consideration in the minds OF
sensible people.
While there are great and crying evils
under the present order of things, what ra-
tional mind would indorse, for instance, the
proposition to establish Government ware
houses and to compel the Government to
loan money at a low rate of interest to any
unfortunate or improvident farmer who be-
came "hard up" on the security of grain
and garden truck, as remedy?
There are some sensible propositions con-
tanned in the Populistic scheme (if it may be
called such) of Government, but there is SO
much of an infammatory, dangerous and
ridiculous nature, that the good features are
many times overbalanced by the unwise and
frothy ones There is nothing to be gained
by blindly arraying class against class. No
greater evil or calamity could befal1 any
people than to elevate into power party
depending on class prejudice and hatred for
its support. The gospel OF hate will never
redeem the masses.
Genuine reform comes slowly, and it is
idle to talk of turning things upside down, u
as our Populistic friends are wont to do.
While the Democratic party did not go
exactly as far in tariff reduction as the great
BODY of American people desired it to do, it
has STARTED THE COUNTRY AWAY FROM
MAD PROTECTION, MADE A BEGINNING IN
THE EQUALIZATION OF PUBLIC BURDENS
BY TAKING INCOMES ABOVE $400, and above
all, in thoroughly uniting and unifying the
North and South in the bonds of true patri-
otism. Continued in ascendancy, the mighty
mower of it's principles will slowly but surely
change the character of the corrupted Ma
tional polity, and in the end realize to the
people greater freedom than the country
ever knew, and give to the Nation the bless
ings and advantages of a just system OF So
cial and political rights.
Nothing can be hoped for from the Repub-
Iican party, which, under the leadership OF
such men as Mckinley, is openly committed
to the monied power. Nothing more can be
hoped from party that embraces every new
chimera evolved from the brains OF dreamers
and cranks. Evolution is law OF nature,
and of politics as well. Evolution is slow.
The Democratic party moves in trend with
the great laws of natural economics and
natural rights, and alone can be depended
unon to bring about the best conditions for

THE Democrats of Portage County did a
good work Saturday. The ticket placed in
nomination is a first class one throughout.
The candidates are all so well known as gen.
tlemen of honor and ability that further
comment on the character of the ticket would
be much like reminding the people of the
merits of honesty and good citizenship SO
worthy of commendation and support. The
party may well felicitate itself on the excel
lent nominations made. 1t goes before the
people with clean list of names, as fitting
complement to its righteous principles.
Another feature to be borne in mind is the
thorough democracy of the nominees. This
will immeasurably strengthen the ticket.
The talk of fusion with an alien party was
happily overcome by the sound sense of the
Convention. tits hardly necessary, edeem
it, for us to gspeak of the desirability and
necessity of political consistency. There is
very little danger of the party whose princi,

the nation, SO far forgetting its dignity, mis-

an organization like that of the Populists, ol

The principles of the party are true and
right, and truth and righteousness need nc

The people of Portage County will applaud
the consistency of the convention and en-
dorse the excellency Of its work. The party
can now go before the voters strong in thu
power of a peerless ticket and faithful ad
herence to principle.
