Reri.lon m s,a,e LIauor LAW.

The campaign for the Gothenburg
system in Massachusetts,, though final
ly unsuccessful, was productive of much
good. One of its indirect results was
the undertaking of an Investigation by
the bureau of statistics of labor as to
the relation of the liquor traffic to
crime, pauperism, and insanity. Such
an investigation if conducted in a
scientific spirit can be made immense
ly valuable to all interested in the tenn
perance reform movement in its vari-
Gus phases. Kentucky has obtained a
local option liquor law applying to the
whole State, including those districts
in which prohibitory statutes were al
ready in force. The new law requires
that the question of license be sub
mitted to popular vote mot oftener
than once in three years. on petition
of % per cent. of the voters. AS sup
plement to the prohibitory law of Iowa
the last Legislature adopted scheme
of taxation under which every one in
the State engaging in the business is
compelled to pay 5000 annually; but
this tax Is not to be construed as le
CALLING the sale of liquors, and license
can only be granted on petition of a
majority of the voters in cities of 5000
and over, and of IS per cent. of the vo-
tiers in smaller places. We find that
Utah has taken steps to enforce more
rigid prohibition of Sunday liquor
selling. Massachusetts, and Virginia
impose new restrictions on the manu-
facture and sale of cider and wines; the
main object in each case seems to I've
the prevention of adulteration.-W.

inent authority that municipal misrule
is ''the one conspicuous failure OF
American politics." follows as natur-
al consequence Of such degeneracy,
and is true alike of cities under Re
publican and Democratic control. Each
accuses the other of extravaganza in
Congressional appropriations, and both
are alike guilty. Each protests, when
out of power, against attractions OF the
civil service laws, and each when in
power violates those laws in letter and
in spirit. Each processes fealty to the
interests of the toiling masses, but both
covertly truckle to the money power in
their administration of public affairs
Even the tariff issue, as represented in
the Democratic Mills bill and the Re-
publican Mckinley bill, is no longer
treated by them as an issue between
great and divergent principles of gov
eminent, hut is mere catering to diff
ferent sectional and class interests.
The attempt in many States to wreSt
the Australian ballot system from its
true purpose. and so to deform it as to
render il extremely difficult for new
parties to exercise the right of suffrage,
is an outrage upon popular govern
ment. The competition of both old
parties for the vote of the slums, and
their assiduous counting of the liquor
power and subservency to the money
power, have resulted in placing those
powers in the position of practical arbi-
tiers of the dcstinies of tho nation. We
renew our protests against these peril
Gus tendencies, and invite all citizens to
join us in the upbuilding of a party
that has shown, in five national cam
paigns, that it prefers temporary de-
feat to an abandonment of the claims
of justice, sobriety, personal rights and
the protection of American homes.
Do Recognizing and declaring that
Prohibition of the liquor traffic has be-
come the dominant issue in national
politics, we invite to full party fellow
Ship all those who, on this one domi
nant issue, are with us agreed, in the
full belief that this party can and will
remove sectional differences, promote
national unity, and insure the best wei
fare of our entire land.

The following conversation took
place at the Penn. State Convention
last month. What a happy memory it
will be for the members of that Con
vention.
One of the reporters at the Press ia
BILE called one of the women aside and
said, This is the first woman's meet
ing I ever attended. When l go to
mems meetings, l can take nap and
wake up in time to give good report
to the paper, but l do feel that | have
not the ability to report the thoughts
which are here expressed, for super
fetal report would be an injustice
For long time have wondered why
Miss Willard continued the leader, but
since hearing her voice and seeing her
face, the mystery is solved. | am q
rough fellow, but the tears dropped on
my manuscript as she talked" What
testimonial! If this one heart only
has been touched by the convention of
1894, we have not met in valn.-

From Walden.
Walden, MISS, Nov. II,

Walden, MISS, Nov. II, 1894.
DEAR Mrs. LUCKIE:-We have motto
ed with regret the apparent apathy
with which requests for reports from
the Unions have been met. We have
missed the news from Unions all over
the State, which we expected to have
when we knew we had a column all to
ourselves.
We have had nothing to report from
our own Union that would have proved
of interest. During the summer
months, finding it impossible to get
our members together, we discontinued
the meetings, as there was no urgent
work to be done and we mothers have
extra work at home during vacation
Wednesday we met, in response to
call from our President, and we were
cheered by the interest manifested.
Though the attendance was not all
that we had desired, we discussed
ways for making the meetings more in
teresting, all recognizing the neces-
sity. We resolved to have w. G. T. U.
Mite Sociables occasionally through
the winter, and as funds are low with
us, we shall try to make them so enjoy
able, by Music, recitations, debates, ETC.,
that the voluntary offerings may be
generous and freely given. We will re-
port further, of our success in arousing
an outside interest in our work, which
is sadly lacking here. Our organiza-
ton is such grand one and we should
be so proud of it, originating as it did
with women. 1t has done so much to
prove her capacity to labor success
fully in our Masters service.
To the women of our State who are
not manifesting an interest in this no.
BILE work, would say Wake ap, slum-
bering sisters, and, courage, faint
hearted! To be W. G. T. U. woman
once, is to be while life shall last.
May you all be richly blessed is my
earnest wish.

U. S. Supreme Court Decisions.

No Legislature can bargain away the
public health or the public morals.
The people themselves cannot do it,
much less their servants.
Array the appalling statistics of mis-
cry, pauperism and crime which have
their origin in the use of ardent spirits.
If such manufacture does prejudicially
effect the rights and interests of the
community, it follows, from the very
premises stated, that society has the
power to protect itself.
We cannot shut out of view the fact,
within the knowledge of all, that the
public health, the public morals and the
public safety may be endangered by
the general use of Intoxicating drinks.

Liquor Curse in England.

The great American orator eXclaim-
ed, 'If thought there was stain on
the remotest hem of the garment of
my country, would use my utmost la
bors to wipe it off," But the abuse OF
drink constitutes no mere stain on the
garment of England; it clothes her in
garments dyed with blood. Now, if all
the most influential voices tell us that
it is of supreme and primary impor-
lance to combat and suppress thisvice-
if, according to the Archbishop of Can
terbury, this is Sin one way the work
of this present day of Christ, for un-
less it is done, very little else can be
lastingly done;" if Lord Shaftesbury,
with his unrivaled experience, was
right in his conviction that sit is i'm
possible, absolutely impossibel, to do
anything permanently or considerable t
relieve poverty until we have got rid of
the curse of drink" if, as Lord
Beaconsfield said, in the success of our
efforts to control it sis involved the
triumph of the social virtues and the
character of the great body of the peo-
ple;"if, according to Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge, we might, but for drink,
shut up nine out of every ten jails in
England; if we could thus, in the opin-
ion of men like Bright and Golden,
make England such paradise as at
present we hardly dream, then total
abstainers are hardly deserving of be-
ing held up to scorn and contempt for
showing, by their personal example,
how easy it would be for multitudes to
find safety and happiness in the small
and even pleasurable self-denial which
they have adopted. If the 100000
pounds per year, or more, which we
annually spend on Intoxicating drink,
with results so infinitely disastrous
alike to the nation and to individuals,
were more wisely used and less ruin
ously wasted, not only would drunken
ness and the most prolific cause of
crime be nearly exterminated, but
squalor and pauperism would become
hideous phantoms of the past, and
most of the frightful evils by which we
are now afflicted would cease to drag
down our prosperity as with hand of
fire. l have not, in this paper, urged
even 1.-THE of the arguments which
weigh with us, but trust that enough
has been said to convince every fair
and reasonable man that the example
of total abstainers might be profitably
followed by many who now despise it,
and might tend to an immense amelio-
ration in the happiness of the human
race.-ArcLdeacon Farrar, in COnteni-
p0rdry Revieac.

The Easy Chair.

The temperance agitation in its vari-
rious forms has been great blessing
to the world. Within the easy recol-
lection of people yet in middle life the
opinion that whiskey is wholesome
thing taken moderately as a frequent
beverage was quite a common one
among intelligent people, and not only
men, but also good women, INDUCED
in before meal toddies without appre-
hension. Now, thanks to the temper
ance agitation, when people indulge in
intoxicants habitually, they do it, read
ing people, with full knowledge of its
possible dangers, and certain inutility.
They have learned that alcohol is eX-
cusable in the sight of morals and re-
ligion only as medicine, as many 9th
er poisons may be, and standing on
this hypothesis they see that the drink
ing of it as beverage is vice. Hence
the conscientious man wishes to drink
behind screen, and wants the boys
excluded from sight of his weakness.
Hence husband and wife when
drinking at home hide the bottle and
mix the bewitching poison behind
locked doors Like Lady McBeth and
her weak husband they look guilty and
talk in whispers; and when the spoon
rings against the glass they shudder
and the woman says:
'Hush the children will hear!'
And the man swears he will buy a
rubber spoon.-Sunny South.

A Pathetic Appeal.

A pathetic appeal has been made to
Massachusetts by Prince Momolu Mas
saquai, the future king of Vel, Liberia,
to not send any more rum to his country.
He made the long journey for this pur-
pose; and, be it said to the disgrace of
the United States, he returns feeling
his object has failed, for the rum
traders powrer at Boston proved
stronger than the philanthropist's.

Platform of the Prohibition Party of Mis-
sissippi, Adopted at Jackson, June
9th, 1894.

The Prohibition Party of Mississippi
! in Convention assembled, acknowledg-
ing Almighty God as the source of all
true government and His law as the
standard to which human enactments
must conform to secure the blessings
of peace and prosperity, present the
following declaration of principles:
LIST, We declare our allegiance to the
National Prohibition party and re-af-
firm our endorsement of the National
platform adopted at Cincinnati June
30th, 1892
Ind, AS the ballot is the bulwark of
the peoples liberties, we favor an in
telligent standard of suffrage and hon
esty and purity in all elections by the
people, and demand that all parties
shall be fairly represented on election
boards in this State.
3rd. We condemn, in unmeasured
terms, the spirit of mob violence which
prevails in this and other States, where
by many citizens have been put to a
cruel and speedy death without the
benefit of Judge or jury or the oppor-
tunity to prove their innocence as
guaranteed to them by the Constitu-
ton of the United States.
4th, We demand the repeal Of the
United States Internal Revenue law au-
thorizing the issuance OF Government
permits for the sale of liquor in Prohi-
bition territory.
9TH, In view of the serious and
alarming industrial and financial con
ditions of the country, we deem the
settlement of the currency question in
in accordance with the principles laid
down by the Prohibition party of ur-
gent concern, second only in impor-
tance to the suppression of the liquor
traffic itself. "The money of the coun-
try should consist ofgold, silver and pa
per, and be ISSUED by the General Gov
eminent only, and in sufficient guam
tity to meet the demands of business
and give full opportunity for the EN-
ployment of labor. TO this end an in
crease in the volume of money is de
manded. No individual or corpora
ton should be allowed to make any
profit through its issue. 1t should be
made legal tender for the payment OF
all debts, public and private. It's vol
ume should be fixed at definite sun
per capita and made to increase with
our increasing population.
