The Committee of theRavenna Antl-Saloon
League have furnished, during the past year,
an uninterrupted series of first class temper
ance lectures, alike profitable and entertain
ing, and we are assured that the high stand
ard Will be maintained during the coming
year. If possible the services of Miss Anna
Edwards, the gifted temperance speaker of
Cleveland, will be secured, and all whose
pleasure it has been to listen toProf. WI.
Chamberlain, Of Hudson will be. glad to
know that he has been engaged for at least
one lecture during the year. The committee
assure US that the local work will be prose-
cuted with increased Vigor during the coming
season. Operations will be conducted as in
the past along the lines of solid educational
effort and while no earthquakes or ephem-
oral disturbances" are contemplated, it is
earnestly expected that temperance thought
and temperance sentiment will be deepened
and strengthened in the community. The
basis of appeal will be confined to the moral
and logical considerations underlying the
proposition and the practical and rational
justification of the plea be demonstrated as
clearly and forcibly as possible. Work con.
Quoted on these lines can hardly fail to &C.
complish permanently good results.

SENATOR VEST, of Missouri, Democrat,
expresses himself as unalterably opposed to
the financial plan of President Cleveland, as
embodied in his recent special message TO
Congress. Senator Wolcott, of Colorado,
Republican, is of course of. the same mind.
Senator Sherman, of Ohio, favors, between
the two standards, the one of gold, with the
largest possible use of silver short of the
decentralization of the former metal.
In the meantime, the sound business sense
of the country is quietly endorsing the pro-
posed monetary changes, and viii sustain
