American public to become excited
over the controversy, now agitating
England, whether Mr.. Astor or the
Duke and Duchess of Marlborough are
the mora successful entertainers, or
which has won the greater social dis
tinction. The favors of royalty, like
those of fortune, are VIGOROUSLY tickle,

The saloon is to the devil and his outfit
what the church is to God and his peo-
pie. We have about SIS, 100000 inhabi-
tants, and about 100000 are Christ
ians, and many of these vote the rum
sellers ticket. Brethren, in the various
churches, what are you doing? One
soul is worth more than the whole world.
Oh, let us kill the liquor traffic of our
country.
God made man q free moral agent.
Man made the legislature, the legislature
made the law, the law made the saloon,
the saloon made the dram drinker, the
dram drinker makes the demon in hell.
Obi let us wake up in the name of Christ,
and all the moral men, and all the
churches over all this country unite and
vote for national prohibition.
Let us be men in the name of Jesus,
and remove this curse. We must have
the entire church to unite in faithful
prayers, and then vote to elect men who
will enforce the law.
The rum power is consolidated and
stands together. Strike one of them and
the rest will all jump in and protect him.
Let us all unite on this one and the great
est of all curses of any nation. No
more distilleries, breweries nor saloons.
Let us have clean homes and a pure
government, with God as our true guide!

Hone in the Houston Convention.

The Freie Presse fuer Texas an
nent the coming Houston republi-
can convention says: "The eyes
of many thousands" of good repub-
licaus who cannot be present are
looking towards Houston on the
goth, where the final redemption
from years of degradation and
shame of the republican party is
expected. If the white republicans
will only act in unison they can lay
the foundation to a real and true
reform party, which, will no doubt,
grow and prosper. The few white
Doodle politicians, who are still
holding on to the blacks, will
finally see themselves in their
degrading role and will become
ashamed of their position and will
leave the negroes to themselves as
they deserve. They Will quarrel
among themselves and their
leaders will fuss over the spoils
like those white republicans
who are still holding to
them, are doing it today, and
who are dependent upon the
grace and mercy Of a Quincy. AS
long as the whites, though even
only in small numbers were re-
presented at their conventions,
and no matter how bitterly OPP
posed among themselves, they
would make peace when the
whites made the least attempt to
profit by this discussion and to
attempt to control the situation
1t will not do as it has been in
the past, the measure is full to the
brim and Overlooking, every one
sees it; we want change.
Help can come from Houston. We
sincerely expect that this move
ment which has started under the
brightest auspices will bring about
the foundation Of republican re-
form OF their party throughout the
state, and lead it into right chan
