Railroad Prohibition.

Said an engineer employed on the Le-
high Valley railroad: 1.-The railroad
companies are doing more for the tenn
perance cause than all the churches put
together. Take the Lehigh Valley rail
road for instance; 10 or Is years ago,
no questions were asked about the
private and personal habits of the en-
ployees, but today man that drinks
car not secure steady employment with
TIL. company. l have not touched a
drop of liquor in seven years, and 1 quit
it because / had to or lose my job. TAX
ing into consideration the tremendous
amount of business done by the Lehigh
Valley, there are less accidents than on
any other road with an equal number of
mileage. A man thus boards a Lehigh
Valley train always full certain that he
is in the hands of sober crew. This is
one of the secrets of the success of this
road" The time is not far distant when
all tho great corporations will employ
only total abstalners.

Saloons are slaughter houses. Did

Saloon keepers are recruiting officers

A Prohibitionist would rather be right
than vote the winning ticket.
Blessed are those who oppose license,
for they are fighting the devil.
One hundred thousand men go down
every year in the maelstrom of drink.
The temperance resolution in the Re-

TRUTHFUL WORDS.
Henry W. Grady's Arraignment Of the Liq-
uor Traffic.

uor Traffic.
Tonight it enters q humble home to
strike the roses from q woman's cheek,
and tomorrow it challenges this republic
in the halls of congress. Today it strikes
a crust from the lips of starving child,
and tomorrow it levies tribute from the
government itself. There is no cottage
in this city humble enough to escape it,
no palace strong enough to shut it out.
1t defies the law when it cannot coerce
suffrage. 1t is flexible to cajole, but
merciless in victory.
1t is the mortal enemy of peace and
order, the despoiler of men and terror of
women, the cloud that shadows the face
of children, the demon that has dug
more graves and sent more souls un-
shrived to judgment than all the pesti-
lences that have wasted life since God
sent the plaques to Egypt and all the
wars since Joshua stood beyond Jericho.
Itcomes to ruin, and it shall profit main
ly by the ruin of your sons and mine. 1t
comes to mislead human souls and to
crush human hearts under its rumbling
wheels. 1t comes to bring gray haired
mothers down in shame and sorrow to
their graves. 1t comes to change the
wifes love into despair and her pride
into shame. 1t comes to still the laugh
ter on the lips of little children. 1t comes
to stife all the music of the home and
fill it with silence and desolation. 1t
comes to ruin your body and mind, to
wreck your home, and it knows it must
measure its prosperity by the swiftness
and certainty with which it wreaks this
world.-Speech Delivered at Atlanta.

WOMAN'S MISSION.
Extract From an Address by Mary T. La
thrap of Michigan.

/ do not know what you may think of
the woman's crusade, but let me say, as
a woman who stood inside it, that the
womanhood of this nation never laid
such tribute at the feet of its manhood.
If you want to find out what a boy is
worth, go ask his mother. By the time
she goes into the jaws of death to give
him birth, and then puts into him her
days of love and nights of care. and he
stands before her strong and clean and
tall at 81, she can tell you what he is
worth, from the crown of his head to the
soles of his feet, and when the legalized
dramshop takes hold of him and tears
him down, fiber by fiber, and puts oaths
on the lips she used to kiss, and crushes
out his mothers hopes, it is no wonder
she makes outcry,
If you want to know what a home is
worth, go and ask loving woman who
has kept herself as pure as Gods lilies for
her marriage day, when, with great
shine in her eyes, she puts herself over
into the hands of one man, for better or
for worse, for richer or for poorer, until
life's end. And WHEN the dramshop, with
its fearful curse, crosses the threshold Of
the home they built together and takes
down her strong tower of hope, stone by
stone, and degrades the father of her
children, it is no wonder woman makes
outcry.
What was the woman's crusade? 1t
was long smotherel sob breaking into
a cry; it was a midnight prayer coming
abroad at monday. You men some
times say to US, as we stand in places like
this, "Home is your kingdom" We do
not dispute it; we know it better than
you know it, but it was our kingdom
that was outraged. You say to US,
standing ballotless and defenseless be-
fore this vampire of our civilization,
"You do not need the ballot; we defend
you by love and by law" Do you, when
for S. years, by well defined license leg
islation, motherhood has been un-
crowned and her children slain by law,
and you have made no protest against
it? You have prayed about it in prayer
meeting, but when it comes to the sweep
of empire in the ballot box and in polit-
ical organizations you have made no
protest
Oh, men, do not believe q civilization
is worth much that cannot protect it's
women and its babies! And grand as
you are, and strong as you are, and true
as you are, you will never be able to pro-
tect your women and your children and
the dramshop at the same time. Oh, in
shame, in very shame, either get up and
strike down this enemy of the home, and
of wifehood, and of childhood, or else
put the ballot into the hands of your
women for their own protection.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-03-27
Convincing Testimony.

The Syracuse Journal publishes some
striking statistics:
During the epidemic in New York in
1882 of 204 cases in the Park hospital
only were temperate, and all of these
recovered, while 122 of the others died.
In Great Britain in the same year five
sixths of all who perished were intem-
perate. In one or two villages every
drunkard died, while not single men,
ber of temperance society lost his life"
There are many similar facts. "In the
city of Washington the health authori-
ties became so convinced of the danger
of the drinking habit in connection with
cholera that they caused the saloons to
be closed for three months"
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-03-27
Preachers In Politics.

The New York Independent says edi-
torially: "While it would be inexpedient
ordinarily for ministers of the gospel to
embark in politics or undertake as lead
ers to run political campaigns, no minis
ter should deem his duties as a citizen
Cancelled or modified by the fact that he
is public preacher of the gospel. He is
still citizen, and the rights and duties
of his civil status belong to him. If he
prays for good government, as he GER
tainly should, then he is equally bound
to preach as he prays, and then to vote
as he breaches and prays. He owes it to
his country and to his God to be politi-
clan to this extent. Some one has said,
4 feel contempt for the man who prays
like an angel and then votes like the
devil 1t is their business to denounce
and resist corruption and do all they
can to make politics purer and better"

The Voice of the Churches.

The liquor traffic is SO pernicious mall
its bearings, so inimical to the interests
Of honest trade, SO repugnant to the
moral sense, SO injurious to the peace
and. order of society, SO hurtful to the
homes, to the church and to the body
polite and so utterly antagonistic to all
that is precious in life, that the only
proper attitude toward it for Christians
Is that Of relentless hostility. 1t can
never be legalized without sin. No tenn
porary device for regulating it can be-
come substitute for prohibition. Lii
cense, high or low, is vicious in princi-
pie, powerless as a remedy.-Bishops'
Address, NJ. E. Church, 1888.

A Catholic Opinion.

These gentry Qiquor dealers) spin not,
neither do they sow, yet the blaze from
their diamonds dazzles and their pocket
books need hoops of steel to prevent
their bursting. Thus the poor man buys
first of all an inherently costly article;
in the next place, he drops a neat con-
tribution into Uncle Sans collection
plate; then he helps to build up the po-
tent factor in politics known as the
liquor interest, and lastly he clothes the
man at the corner in purple and fine
linen and sends him to Saratoga in the
summer.-Catholic Review.

The Prodigal Daughter.

To the home of the father returning
The prodigal, weary and worn,
Is greeted with Joy and thanksgiving
As when ON his first natal morn.
A robe" and a ring" is his portion,
The servants as suppliants bow,
He is clad in fine linen and purple
In return for his penitent vow.
But, ahl for the prodigal daughter.
Who has wandered away from home;
Her feet must still press the dark valley
And through the wide wilderness roam.
Alone on the bleak, barren mountains
The mountains SO dreary and cold
No hand is outstretched In fond pity
To welcome her back to the fold.
But. thanks to the Shepherd, whose mercy
Still follows the sheep, though they stray
The weakest and cen the forsaken
He bears in his bosom away,
And in the bright mansions OF glory,
Which the blood OF his sacrifice won,
There il room for the prodigal daughter
As well IS the prodigal son.

Clover Leaf Pledge.

The "clover leaf pledge card, planned
and copyrighted by Miss Ella Clemen-
tine Rodgers, A East Fourteenth street,
New York, will undoubtedly become
popular among temperance people who
believe in working on the pledge signing
system. The card was devised in July,
1892, but was only recently placed on
the market. The holder of the card
signs on the clover stem, and in doing
so agrees to make an effort to secure
three more signers to the card. Each of
the three is given a card, and they in
turn sign the stem and make a pledge to
secure three more, and in this way the
work goes right along. The cards are
sold at 81 a hundred.

A Safe Prediction.

If they tthe Prohibitionistsl do not win this
year or next year or a decade hence, the pre-
diction may be ventured with safety that they
will be in at the millennium.-Brooklyn Eagle
Dem).
Doubtless The Eagle would flap its
wings in disgust and utter a derisive
scream if any one should venture the
prediction that either of the old parties
"will be in at the millennium" The en-
vironments would be SO incongruous.
AS we all know, the eagle has very
clear and exact eye.

Crime, according to the census, is in
creasing faster than the increase in pop
ulation. So is the consumption Of IN
toxicating liquors, despite all these years
Of regulation and restriction" BY put
ting these two things together it ought
not to be necessary to indulge in very
much comment. When the liquor evil
and crime increase nearly along parallel
lines, it seems pretty certain that q good
part Of the latter can BE- done away with
~ suppressing the former,

How About Political Platforms

Upon what does the success of the
liquor traffic depend? Upon debased
manhood, degraded womanhood, de-
frauded childhood. 1t holds mortgage
over every cradle; deed written in
hearts blood over every human life. Shall
mothers hear this and be silent? Shall
fathers know this and remain silent?-

Here is one man who makes whisky;
another who sells it; another who rents
house for the sale of it; another who
votes with party to license it; another
who dies drunk. Now, if you can fix
that up so that some of that crowd will
go to heaven and some to hell, you are
profounder philosopher than ever have
been.

Actor Grismer's Nerve.

| Los Ange7ea. March 21.-Joe
lGrismer tne actor, had an adventure
with centipede at San BeTnadIno
| ninht before last, which was sufficient
To nnnerve any man, and winch
| threw his wife, Phoebe Davies into
Mysteries that lasted for over an
hour Neither one of the two has
entirely recovered from the shock.
The last place Grismer played IL
was Phoenix, A. T.. l:aapins from
there to San pernardino. AT Pho
| nix he had left his makeup box
| open all the evening, closing 1t
hastily after the performance and
not reopening it until he reached
San Bernardno. He was sitting
in his dressing room and his wife
was with him, when he commenced
to prepare for the play and opened
his make up box. He was talking
to his wife meanwhile, and with one
hand was fumbling in his box.
Suddenly she gave a scream, point
ed to his hand and fell over in dead
faint. Grismer looked where she
had pointed and was Mortified TO see
a centipede fully three inches long
lust crawling onto his hand. He
expected every minute to feel It's
sting pierce his flesh, but never
moved a muscle. Slowly the veno-
nous creature moved across the act
or's hand, while his wife lay as If
dead at his feet, and he expected
every moment to receive wound
which would inflct agony if not
death, but his nerve stood him III
good stead and finally the creature
left his hand, and then was quickly
dispatched with heavy hairbrush.
The poisonous reptile had evidently
crept into the makeup box at Pho
nix.
