OF THE NATIONAL CONVENTION AND PAYS
TRIBUTE TO A FAITHFUL woRKER-AN
APPEAL FOR ACTIVITY.
Dear Comradss:- Years ago, am one
snSss who took lessons from the same
professor of vocal music was . girl whose
voice was excellent, but whose education
was directly rudimentary. She was
always borrowing the songs the others
were studying. One day 1t came my turn
to lend, and soon from the music room
foated down in bird like tones, "Ee.oho,
sweet &c cho." The sch" pronounced as
the "ch'' in church.
Tuesday, when the mail brought me
from st. Louis Z program and last nights
mail a postal. and this mornings paper
and the. surerintendent's reports, felt
like exciatmfbg "ee-cho, sweet ee.cho."
F thosapf US who are on duty at no me,
Our minds hourly wandering the great
convention and its participants, these
echos of the doings there are delight.
The program is very handsome in ap-
pearance, and its array of intellectual
feasts makes us proud of our organization
and its workers. / notice on the program
much more music than usual, nineteen
vocal solos, besides duets, quartettes,
sextettes, double quartettes, state songs
end piano solos.
A new feature among the welcomes
was one from the Loyal Temperance
Legion. An informal reception by the
general officers on Wednesday, at p. m /.
will afford great pleasure to many of the
delegates who usually can only see ssour
magnet" miss W. from the fairness of
the platform, or catch glimpse in hur.
ried comings and goings.
Wednesday evenings grand march of
the entire delegation" and department
parade" will give just the touch of joIlity
which busy, tired, earnest workers need.
DR.. Adler said at Carnegie Hall, on Sun
day, "Play is the preservation of the
Dature, the disinterested exercise of our
facultiess We need this if we would
keep them fresh and elastic" Surely
none need such brightenings more than
those engaged in reform work. those on
whom worlds woes press heavily. So
I for one am glad that the delegates will

Tie special order of the day for the
local W. G. T. U. meeting, 18th Mo. ID,
will be Business and Literature" Mrs.
Carrie Andrews in charge.
All who are interested in the topics
from week to week are cordially welcome.
Those who are not interested are warmly
urged to attend, that an interest may be
Awakened within them.
10 this connection we cannot but quote
from letter recently received from the
States new Recording Secretary, Miss
Elfreth, wherein she says:
"Not having the department Health
and Heredity) to work this year, gives me
more time for local work, which is very
absorbing.
Isn't it beautiful work and why does
thee suppose it is that there are so few
laborers in the harvest fields ? So many
seem Indifferent; it is slow work winning
people over, but it is coming, and with
! steady effort on our part, and faith in
God, which does not waver, we shall, or
He will yet have the victory"
Our mental response is: Yes, it may be,
it is slow work winning people over, but
the work in itself is far more beautiful
than slow, and so We go joyously on
knowing God soiU give the victory "some
glad day."
The subject of last Fourth-day after
noon, "The Cigarette Habit" together
with the reading of the constitution OF
the Anti Cigarette League, of Baltimore,
proved of great interest, so ably was its
various features presented by Anna E.
PAucoast, who was IL charge. We fully
intended to quote at length from papers

! papers were missed.

The opinion is general that Congress
ought to adopt some means, upon assem-
bling next month, to provide sufficient
revenue for the needs of the Government,
and the best method to accomplish this,
without unnecessary delay, has been
thought by many to be in the passage of
what is known as the Dingley bill, now
on the calendar of the Senate. A discus
sion of it's probable passage, however,
and of its merits to meet the case, has
developed considerable opposition to it,
as it is claimed that its passage would
obstruct or hinder the success of a proper
measure. 1t is mainly criticised for pro-
posing ad valorem duties, and will not
therefore meet the demands of the st.
Louis platform or be in harmony with
the protective policy of the new admins
tration. For these reasons it now looks
doubtful if any legislation of this charao-
ter will be passed at the coming session
turned over to the new Congress, and to
be dealt with at an extra session to be
called by President Mckinley Immediate
ly after his Inauguration. 1t is claimed
by those foremost in advocating such a
course, that since all the Republican men,
bers of the Ways and Means Committee
have been re elected, and that these gen.
tlemen, during the time which is to elapse
between the first Monday in December
and the fourth day of March, can formu-
late tariff bill based upon the principles
of the Mckinley law, with schedules
adapted to existing conditions, perfected
and ready for passage within ten days
after the meeting of an extra session of
Congress, and then, if there is patriotism
and Republicanism enough in the Senate,
it can be passed into law and be ready
for enforcement by the 1st of May. 1t
now looks as if this course would be the
one pursued, since it is understood to he
the one approved by President Mckinley.

the same. Its magnificent beauty with
the shine of the sinking sun glistening

reflected from off its wavy bosom, are the

DAN haNCIsCo, CAL., Nov. II, '96
My last letter closed with anticipations
of great victory for universal suffrage.
oy the passage of the sixth amendment
in the new charter. The saloon and
brewer element of this city went to work
vigorously after W itnessipg the great day
parade on Oct. 31st of the Republicans
and 80 many of the leading citizeus of
other parties coming out boldly for
Mckinley and Hobart. Every induce
ment that money or influence could be
brought to bear upon voter for their
interests was not left untried. They said
equal suffrage would ruin their business,
and the beer drinkers would not be able
to buy glass to quench their thirst. 1t
is said the parade was the greatest polit-
ical demonstration ever witnessed in the
West, thirty. two Thousand being in the
column.
The morning had been foggy and at
noon light shower of rain fell, but just
as the parade was about to start the sun
/ came out warm and jovial to the beholder
on Market street. This was the moment
chosen by the side streets to begin to
pour their contingent into the thorough
fare. Masses of men, women and chill
dren quickly blackened the sidewalks the
entire route.
Twenty minutes past three Grand Mar
shall Stone, gorgeous in uniform and with
a bugler in red plumes by his side, can

had laid all his plans and knew to a

THE SINGING IN GODS ACRE.


Out yonder in the moonlight, wherein Gods
acre lies
Go angels walking TO and fro, singing their
lullabies.
Their radiant wings are folded. and their eyes
are bending low,
As they sing among the beds wherein the iioW-
ers delight to grow
"Sleep, oh, sleep
The Shepherd guardeth His sheep.
Fast speedeth the night away,
Soon cometh the glorious day
Sleep, weary ones, while ye may
Sleep, oh, sleep"
The flowers within Gods Acre see that fair
and wondrous sight,
And hear the angels singing to the sleepers
through the night;
And, 10 throughout the hours OF day those
gentle flowers prolong
The music of the angels in that tender SUM
Der song
sleep oh, sleep
The Shepherd loveth His sheep.
He that guardeth His flock best
Hath folded them to His loving breast,
So sleep we now and take your rest
Sleep, oh, sleep!'
From angel and from flower the years have
learned that soothing song,
And with its heavenly music speed the days
and nights along
So through all time, whose flight the Shep-
herds vigils glorify,
Gods Acre slumbereth in the grace Of that
sweet lullaby
"Sleep, oh, sleep,
The Shepherd loveth His sheep.
Fast speedeth the night away,
Soon cometh the glorious day
Sleep, weary ones while We may
Sleep, oh, Sleep"
