In a renort of the late Confer.

In report of the late Confer
ence of the NJ. E. Church, South,
held at Meridian, Miss, our Sen
ior Bishop is quoted AS differing
with the Committee on Temper
ance, and as expressing himself
opposed to unfermented wine at
the Lords table, calling the whole
thing "unfermented nonsense.
1t is a matter of deep regret
that one so high in authority
should allow his influence to be
cast for evil on this most impor-
tant subject. Many struggling
soul might be saved if kept en-
tirely away from the sight, smell
or taste of the intoxicating cup.
Temptation may come even at the
solemn communion hour if Chris
tians must indulge in fermented
wines and fill Gods house with
the odor of alcoholic drink. We
HOPE the report is not correct.

inent authority that municipal misrule
is athe 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
ont 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, but 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 it extremely difficult for new
parties to exercise the right of suffrage,
is an outrage upon popular govern
mCDU. ne COulpctitiph VI oOeh OANs
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-
ters of the destinies of the 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.
C15) 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 vel
fare of our entire land.

Iuka Wide Awake.

IUKA, MISS, Dec. 26, 1894.
DEAR S1sTERs:-As Cores
ponding Secretary, l am glad to
report the Iuka Union still loyal,
faithful and thoroughly alive.
The first Monday in December
we held the last monthly meeting
of the most successful year we
have had since our organization.
True we have had better financial
results, more members and per-
haps more excitement sometimes,
but for regular average attend
ance, general interest, liberal
views and quiet, determined work,
this year has not been excelled.
We have felt the power of the
Holy Spirit in every meeting. We
have felt the assurance of God S
love and guidance. In the alb
sence of any business to consume
the hour given in each meeting,
the time has been given to moth
ers' meetings. And oh. the sa-
credness, the power of those meet
ings. The great cry that wells
up from the mothers heart again
and again, for the safety of her
children, her neighbours children,
: her nations children, aye, Gods
children throughout the world
will surely be heard. God viii
give us the victory. His prom
Uses are ours. His word cannot
fail. He never uttered an idle
word.
Our annual public meeting hello
Dec. Goth, was a success in every
way, showing what we were do
ing through the reports of the SUI
perintendents of the various de-
partments of work, creating pub,
lie sentiment, gaining new mem,
bers, arousing general interest
and gaining much approval.
Mesdames Rutledge, Carmack.
and Markle, to whom we were in
debted for the interesting meet.
ing have entered our ranks with
much earnestness, zeal and conse'
Grafton.
= We have no w. G. T. L. room
here except in the home of every
White Ribboner. At the begin
ming Of the year we arrange the
place for each monthly meeting
in some of those homes.
Every now and then blind tt
ger comes into our midst, but he
does not stay long; if he is not
dashed by law and chained behind
iron Vengeance is mine:
l will repay saith the Lord. y
And more than once have we seen
Gods curse follow close in the
footsteps of Iuka blind tigers.
More than once have we seen
Gods hand outstretched in anger
to thrust the offender on bed OF
affection. More than once has
the pale rider on the black horse
borne from our midst this evil de.
mon that defed our laws, our pc
titions, our prayers. "Vengeance
is mine; will repay, saith the
Lord" And he that keepeth us
will not slumber, He is the AL
mighty and the Everlasting God
in whom is no variabieness, mel
Their shadow of turning.
Let us trust him, sisters, and
prove ever loyal to the cause, For
God and Home and Every Land.

Platform of the Prohibition Party of Mis-
sissippi, Adopted at jackson, June
9Th 1894

9th. 1894.
The Prohibition Party of Mississippi,
in Convention assembled, acknowledge
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
Both, 1892.
End, 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 ~Goverlmen
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-
lance to the suppression of the liquor
traffic itself. 1.-THE money of the coun-
try should consist ofgold, silver and pa
per, and be issued by the General Gov
eminent only, and i'll sufficient guam
tity to meet the demands of. business
and give full opportunity for the en-
ployment of labor. To this end au 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 sum
per capita and made to increase with
our increasing population.
RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That we cannot too Sc.
verely condemn the action of Missis
sippi's Congressman in the House OF
the 5lst Congress, every one of whom
except Hon. Clarke Lewis of the 4tt
District, opposed the passage OF the
Wilson original package bill, whereby
it was sought to prevent the pullifica
4 ton of all the Prohibition laws in this
and other States.

formed his children that his death
would occur on the following Monday
night. He was ahealthy man, although
Sc years of age, and seemed to be then
merely suffering from slight indispo,
sition. His children laughed at his
fears, and as there was no perceptible
change in his condition they were
much surprised Monday evening when
he bade them call in all his neighbors
to bid him good-by About o'clc ok
he rose from his bed and nervously
paced the floor until midnight He the n
lay down, saying he would die within
three hours, and before o'clock in
the morning his pulse had ceased to
beat.

A genuine surprise descended on Ben
Venue Wednesday evening last, executed
by Mrs. Colgate in honor of the 10Th an
nlversary of the birth of her aunt, Mrs.
E. w. Yale. Though the 'secretn was
known to many, the surprise to Mrs.
Yale was complete. At half past seven
there hOated into the drawing room the
sweet strains of ''At the Cross" sung by
strong young voices. A moment later a
great wagon from the village arrived,
bringing Mrs. Yale's Sunday school class
of boys, and Rev. Mr.. Tibbits of HoOsick
escorted the wondering lady to the ve-
randa, where the boys greeted her with
enthusiastic "Many happy returns of the
day" Then, expressing doubts as to
whether she was awake or dreaming,
she was escorted into another room, fol
lowed by her boys, where, on round
table was beautiful birthday cake
the gift of the boys, banked in pink and
white verbenas and ferns, surrounded by
a circle of seventy-six pink and white
candles. After the illumination had
been sufficiently enjoyed, the party was
entertained by playing games and music
by Rev. Edward Tibbits and Mr.. Evers.

Mr.. Sherman, Californian miner, has
been prospecting for gold in North Sher-
burne for about two weeks and it is said
has found quartz rock there superior to
that in the Bridgewater mines and, in
fact, the best he has ever seen in the
State. The owner of the land will blast
out the surface rock to see what is un-
derneath. Mr.. Sherman has said repeat
edly that from all appearances tine gold
that has been washed down through
PittSfield must have its source near
North Sherburne. He has found gold on
quite an extent of territory but what he
wants is to find it in the rock, and the
quartz rock looks very promising.
In their enthusiasm over the apparent
success of the BrattlebOro electric road,
some of the stockholders are already
speculating upon plans for the extention

were possible to secure a charter it is
quite probable that the money could be
easily raised for the line to Hinsdale and
thence to NOrthfeld, Mass. Such con-
nectiOns would assist materially in max
ing Brattleboro's road great success,
and it would not be surprising if efforts
were soon made to extend the line across
the river into New Hampshire. 1t is
quite probable that some of the towns IN
Windham county will have trolley roads
built TO them in the next Il months.

is Michael Sullivan, a Vermonter, ma
tive of Orwell. The accident occurred
near Conway Junction, Mass, Tuesday.
In Sullivan were exemphfied the charaC-
ter of a true hero. He saw that unless
he succeeded in attracting the attention
of his engineer to his signals to stop, a
collision was inevitable and that his life
as we'll as others aboard the train were
in jeopardy. He could have jumped and
thus saved himself, but he bravely
stuck to his post, and continued to sig
nal the engineer until the crash came.
When told by his physician that he could
not live, he replied: "Well, I'm glad it
is me who has got to go instead of some
other poor fellow with family"
