Christianity and Temperance.

w. G. Haeselbarth says: "The weak
ness of the weak is strengthened by
the strength of the strong. There is a
mighty power in human sympathy.
That is one strong argument why all
Christians should be open and avowed
total abstainers from all forms of in
toxicating drinks. 1t gives new
strength and hope to the poor drunkard
who may be trying to abstain. The
esprit de corps, as we call it, of the to-
tai abstaiaers goes very far to hold
each other up"

THE ISSUE JOINED.
Contention Between National Hay As
recitation and the RAilr0ada.

Attorneys John B. Daish and E. Richard
Shipp returned from Chicago this morning,
where they had been In attendance upon
the hearing of the case of the National
Hay Association against the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern railroad ct al,
comprising all the railroads within the off,
cial classification territory. At this hearing
only the testimony of the complainants was
taken and the hearing was adjourned until
December In this city, when the railroads
will offer evidence in support of their side
of the case. In conversation with a Star
reporter Mr.. Daish said he felt well salts
fed with the showing made and believed
that the railroads would be unable to over
come the prima facie case as made out.
The case has attracted considerable az
tention among the dealers and producers
OF hay In the United States, he said, and
Is one which involves the right of the rail-
roads TO arbitrarily raise the rates OH any
commodity. Attorney Moot OF Buffalo and
Judge all of Chicago have been engaged
as special counsel in the case by the rail-
roads. 1t Is alleged in the testimony taken
on behalf of the complainants that the
railroads. have Disseminated unjustlv
against hay and straw in favor OF other
1arm products. What may be developed by
the testimony of the railroads is not at ;ae
present time discernible.
The National Hay Association has about
LUZ members composed of produ -ers and
dealers In hay in the states of Illinois,
Michigan, Indiana. Ohio, Pennsylvania and
several others, these states being within
the omcial classification territory, which
mas raised the rates on hay from
sixth to fifth class, while in the southern
aud western territory it has been held in
the sixth class. Witnesses from differeat
states introduced at Chicago testified that
the producer and shipper had been shut ouc
OF the New England markets because OF Tho
increase In the rate for transportation
which allowed Canadian shippers to- put
nay into those markets at a cheaper price
IMAM our own farmers could, notwithstani-
ing tarin rate of $4 per ton imposed on
the importation Of Canadian hay.

The Order Not Embarras.ea.

1t is understood that the defalcation of
the supreme finance keeper of the knights
of the Maccabees does not in any way en-
barrass the order. The officers of the
order, from the highest to the lowest are
bonded, and the defaulting officer is bonded
in two strong companies, and the amount
of his defalcation will be made good
at once. Mr.. D. w. Gall, state COM
mander Of the Maccabees In this jurisdfc-
ton, stated today that, while it is to be
regretted that one of the supreme officers
should have yielded to the temptation
which has ruined him, and may give some
a cause to attempt to do the order an in
justice, yet to every business man it is a
positive evidence Of the correctness and
businesslike manner in which affairs of the
order are carried on. In settling up the ac-
counts for the month OF October on the 9th
day of November an error was discovered,
as it then appeared, in the supreme finance
keepers books, and on the 9Th he confessed
that it was not an error but a misappro-
prIation Of the funds.
I'm this city the order Is in very healthy
condition, with nine distinct organizations
and a membership Of / 1,533. Every finan-
cial officer in this city Is bonded in a Sc
curity company, and all funds must be ac-
counted for: and, besides, each local body
has an auditing committee, which audits
