Do not be afraid of the charges of parti-
sanship. The grand chorus of majorities
as in unison they cry, 1.-THE saloon must
gop' shall possess no coercive force unless
unison, merged into legislative, judicial,
executive harmony and guided by the bat-
on Of a political party, shall take up the
strain.-Mrs. j. Ellen Foster in Report
to the w. c. 7. U. in 1888.

Grand Master W Worlman Powdcrlys cou-
clusion is that the only crusade in which
the knights OF Labor can engage as pari y
is against rum. Mr.. Powderly is not only
wise as n statesman but he is sensible and
farseeing as Knight of Labor.

The two great political parties should
take warning in time that the sentiment
against the liquor evil is growing so fast as
to threaten their continued prominence un-
less they recognize and bow TO the proper
demand for relief from traffic that is so
demoralizing and ruinous
5-Bishop Ireland.
The election franchise is the most pre-
cious inheritance of the citizen of this land.
At the last day man will be called to ac-
count for his civil as well as his private
acts, and the penalty will await him if he
helps to put bad men in power. Woe to the
republic if the state is made up near beer
mugs and whisky glasses If alcohol is to
be our political king, the day of the repub-
lie will soon be ended.

1t is mere mockery to ask US to put down
drunkenness by moral and religious means
when the legislature facilitates the multi
plication of indictments to intempeFance on
every side. You might as we'll call upon
me as the captain of a sinking ship and say,
why don't you pump the water out."
when you are scuttling the ship in every
direction. If you will cut off the supply of
temptation, willI be bound by the help of
God to convert drunkards, but until you
have taken off this perpetual supply of in
toxicating drink we never can cultivate the
fields You have submerged them, and if
ever we reclaim one portion you imme-
diately begin to build upon it a gin palace
or some temptation to drink. Let the leg
islature do its part, and we will answer for
the rest.
