THE WEEK OF PRAYER.
Against the Dispensary - Against
ThOse Who Dance.

Last Monday night the first OF the series OF
meetings for the week OF prayer was held 10
the Presbyt terian church. Rev: j. J. Grier
we are told, that he directed his energy CHIEF
ly against the dispensary, TO which effort
few slurs or insinuations were added agains'
The gospel is impressed upon the minds
and hearts Of the people by practical efforts
and Christian example. Our Saviour himself
yielded unto Caesar the things that were
Caesars, and In many OF his utterances, we
are told, that he adopted the pagan forms Of
speech. In the first proposition he desired To
impress upon his followers the necessity for
being just 10 all men. In adopting the pagan
forms of speech did so. where no principal
was involved. He did this no doubt tor the
purpose Of showing due and proper regard f0r
the prejudices and superstitions OF those with
ther purpose of gaining their respect and
goodwill which In turn might result In their
conversion to the true religion OF which He
himself was the great exeipplar and chief ex-
FOUNDER. .....
The latter day pulpit seems to have depart
ed from the example OF Him who abused no.
body, but who made some very severe re-
marks about the .'unco guide and rigid right
eous," who were better than their neighbors
The dlspensary may be very wicked
thing. We have the authority Of few
preachers and multitude OF saloon keepers
Tne dance. too, may be exceedingly naugh-
", but We have only the unsupported testi-
mony of a few preachers who never danced
against tho evidence OF thousands OF pure
and sweet women, whose lives and characters
have nothing to lose by comparison with the
character Of those who assail them.
If the object OF preaching be to advance the
cause Of temperance and purity, let our
preachers depict with all their eloq and
power the evils that may result from the hab-
it of drinking. Let them urge parents To
teach their children TO shun the flowing
bowl. Let them impress upon their hearers
the danger of looking upon the wine when II
Is red.
But let them not align themselves with the
saloon keepers In their effort TO paralyse the
best efforts of 1aymep 10 abate the evil
which Is ever present. and which SO often
overcomes us.
What have the laymen done In their effort
TO abate the greatest OF evils. that warrants
this TRADE against their best efforts? Why
ls II that preachers and saloon Keepers are oil
the same opinion? Why is It that men who
are really working for the sobriety and we'll
question d? According TO our way OF thinking
The preachers oppose the dispensary because
.of their prejudice, or extreme purity, and
the saloon keepers oppose IL because 1t Inter.
feres with q business In which they can make
money and which business they believe TO
Dancing. IL an evil, is evidence of the lack
of spirituality. Then cultivate spiritual
growth and the increase OF grace. Then dance.
Ing will take care OF itself.
There is no use ip trying to crush out all
life and exuberance of spirits that make the
days Of the young happy and joyous. hap.
sistent with true Christianity.

The Convention.

The politicians are laying their pipes for the
state Convention. We will likely have live
" race for the honors. We have heard of no
ayowed candidates, but we presume that there
are a number of racers hitched out in the
park, ready to be put on the track, II they are
needed. The Press and Banner has no advice
to give TO anybody. and II we offered any, II
would not amount to anything.
we have heard some names mentioned that
ousbt TO 20, and some that ought not to 60.
Among those who ought to 60 are John E.

Right You are. Governor.

Governor Evans does not endorse the small
acts of the recent Legislature, and will veto
the bill which was Intended to keep from the
nubiic eve the actings and doings of the
Comfy Treasurer. He thinks that the Treas
urers ought to be held to strict accountable
itv. and will not allow the Legislature to pre-.
vent them from making their annual reports.
II would be nice state Of affairs If treas
urer could handle all our money and not be
reou,red to make showing as TO what he re-
ceiYed or paid out

Youns Lady's Good Work.

During General Hemphilps absence in Co
,nmbla as Clerk of the Senate, his daughter
Miss Mary Hemphill had charge OF the paper,
which accounts for the excellence OF the
publication.
She has had charge Of the local department
of the paper for long time. The well filed
pages Of the Medium attest her ability, her In
dustry, and her fitness for the position. No
paper comes to this office on which more
work has been bestowed or more care has
been given to the local department than is
given by Miss Mary Hemphill. Other young
ladies might follow her example with profit
to editor and people.

The Case Goes over TIL May Owing
to Juror Goes Illness.
Chicago. Feb. l2.-The Debs jury was
discharged this morning and the case was
set for a new trial on the first Monday in
May. The physician attending James c.
Coe. the Juror. whose Illness has caused
the hitch in the proceedings, this morning
declared that the sick man would not be
able to resume his duties as a juror for at
least thirty days. Judge Grosscup then
held conference with the counsel Of
both sides, and it was agreed to leave
the matter to the courts discretion. When
court finally convened at II O'Clock At
torney Gregory, for the defense. moved
that the jury be discharged, but that the
eleven men then m the box be again
enpanelled and a twelfth juror secured.
70 this the government objected, and the
motion was denied.
Mr.. Gregory then made a motion that
the present trial continue, but that the
taking of testimony be adjourned from
time TO time until Juror COe was ready
for duty. Meanwhile the court was 10
dispose of the jury as he thought proper.
Judge Grosscup said that such a course
would be impossible. To keep eleven men
la custody for thirty days. he said, would
be an infliction of unnecessary punish
ment. On the other hand. it would be
decidedly indiscreet on his part TO al
low the men to mingle with the people for
a month and then resume the hearing.
He therefore denied the motion The trial
was set for May to suit the convenience
of the court.
The Debs habeas corpus proceedings
will occupy the greater part of March
