The recent conven- ton was simply to nominate state off, cers. It confined itself to state affairs. The members were overwhelmingly for free silver.

Idaho, Nevada and California by their respective state leg islatures; the twenty-six votes for woman's full enfranchisement in the re- cent constitutional convention of South Carolina; the result of the vote on the sham referendum in Massachusetts, showing that one out of every three men and nineteen out of every twenty women of that conservative common wealth, who expressed at the ballot box their opinions on our question, were in favor of equal suffrage-a startling reve- lation to the remonstrants throughout the entire nation. We point with pride to the splendid results of the work of our association in organizing state socie- ties in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Nevada, Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mex leo, West Virginia and Delaware, so that when we assemble in Washington at our annual convention for the first time in our history the association will be com posed of organizations in every state and territory, except Alaska, linked together In one great national body.

THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT

The sober second thought of the people confirms the justice of their first thought The Vicksburg Commercial-Herald con cludes an excellent editorial on "The Sober Second Thought" as follows:
 "The president may have erred, been too precipitate and extreme, as many now contend Others, ourself among the number, after reading the correspon- dence, do not see what other reply Lord Salisbury's note admitted, consistent with national self-respect and character. The time had come when the decisive step chosen by the president had to be taken, or the position he had assumed in accord ance with national sentiment and doc Urine had to be abandoned. Again it is said that the emdrgency has been brought on at the worst possible juncture. In this MT. Cleveland has only been an agent. The time was not of his choos- ing. His communication, to which Lord Salsbudy's note was reply, was written six months ago, and most assur- edly it admitted a different and an hon. orable answer. As to the emergencies na- tiona1 and individual, they are never op- perfume. Like boils they always come at the wrong time and place. But all talk of what MT. Cleveland might have done is idle and quibbling What he did do and what congress has unanimously rati- fled. is done. It cannot be undone, and to this all might as well make up their minds. This is the sober second thought.
 "These views we have here expressed, as Is everything we have said upon this most grave qustion, are held to be en- tirely consistent with the utmost faith that the business interests would suffer ruin in the event of war, the claims of civilization which it. would mock, the re- ligious profession which would be shamed, are to be served and advanced now, by upholding the stand taken by the president. That way lies the surest chance for peace Nothing would be more gratifying to the British premier and people, and more encourage them to hold to the wrong, than the appearance among Americans of signs of dissension and of a spirit for peace at any price,"

not the first or the only distinguished
Englishman to ask compensation for an
interview. The New York Suns corre-

wrote to Mr.. Gladstone asking him for
an interview on the Irish question, and
in the course Of conversation which
followed with Mr.. Gladstones secreta-

would be expected in payment for the
interview, it being understood that Mr.,
Gladstone should write it himself, and

There is no "fakc" in the earnest

saloon keepers discovered early i'll the
day. They meant business from the
very start. They Were determined
that no liquor should be sold in viola

was almost to make the determination
a fact. Never before was there ever
such police watch over the usual
places for selling beer and liquors.
Every possible man on the force that
could be used was put on excise duty
The men were in many cases ma dc
to undergo extra hours Of duty so as
to watch saloons. The policemen
