White s,nvcs of the Traffic.

The Sunday drink traffic keeps 900
barmen, barmalds and others employed in
England alone seven days week. Their
weekday hours are exceptionally long, and
the occupation is exceptionally unhealthy
and full OF temptation. As labor ques'
tion, working men who demand shorter
hours OF toll should considnr the claims OF
these white slaves" to at least one ensife

A Eishop's Views.

Here is what Bishop Spalding. OF Peoria.
ILL.,, Says OF tho drink evil: The evil
wrought BY alcoholic drink Is now &C.
knowledged aud proclaimed by al! the Or
gnns OF public opinion. 1t undermlnes
health, enfseb!es the will, coarsens the
miLd and infames animal passions. 1t
separates husbands and wives, divides
families, and dsprlves chlldren OF the home
influence which nothing else can supply.
1t lowers the standard OF morals, fills pris-
ons aud insane asyluns with its victims,
and feeds tue germs OF corruption in the
body polite. 1t Is. in a word, the cause
or the occasion OF four-ffths OK the crime
by which our national life Is dlsgraceI."

Chr:s.ianity's Great Apology.

1t is utterly useless for men to place their
preacher in his pulpit to argue for the truth
which they deny by the inlldelity and for
malism OF their own living during the week.
The great apology for Christianity comes
from the vital experience OF the Pew, not
from the reasoned defence OF the pulpit
The book Of lite Is read by all, and tho
apology Of victorious religious experience
has weight for conviction with eve:y nan

G0EBEL HELD HIS PEACE.

Greensboro, KY, Sept 5.-What was to

convention for Governor, against whom
ex- Congressman w. G. Owens hurled the
bitterest epithets, spoke here, and it had
been whispered all over the State that be

Owens had said.
The relations between these men have
become SO bitter that many persons at
tended the meeting for the express pur-
pose of hearing what Goebel would say
about the Scott County man. Goebel did
not refer to him, and made no personal
attacks in the course of his speech. This
is said to have been the result of confer

Goebel was informed by his closest per-

his race but would be in danger of losing
his life or causing the death of some one
else as well.

The BOER REPLY is A DEFIANCE.
Every Reason to Believe Hostil tiles Are
Not Far Off.

London, Sept. "A dispatch from Jo-
hannesburg to Reuters Agency definitely
announces that the reply of the Transvaal
to the British communication withdraws
the franchise proposals and agrees IN prin-
ciple to conference at Cape Town.
The afternoon papers take the view that
if the foregoing dispatch is correct, Presi-
dent Kruger's reply Is ominous as it was
palpably made to gain time. Sir Alfred
Miners suggestion ola further conference
at Cape Town wss instigated with the sole
purpose of considering details and for the
enforcement of the concessions offered by
the Beers.
If these concessions are withdrawn there
can be 10 object from British point Of
view for the parleying longer.
The only inference to be drawn is that
the Beers have taken Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, the Secretary of State for the Col
onies, at his word in broader sense than
he intended, and that they now want to
begin negotiations over again on an entire
new basis.
The shrewdness of this reported move
is not likely to save it from being inter-
preted by the British Government as
thinly yelled defiance, and unless it is
accompanied by vague agreement to
further confer, it would generally be taken
as sufficient cause for immediate hos
tilities.
WAR PREPARATIONS.
Regarding the exact terms of the reply
in question reports continue myslifying
in contradictions, but all agree that the
excitement in Johannesburg is undated,
that tine exodus from that city is con-
tinuing, and that distress there is increas-
ing. Cablegrams from Boer and British
South African sources detail war prepare
tons on all sides.
