The Result as to Temperance.

TO the Editor:-It must be an i'm
| presslve lesson to us all that a party
could go before the people defending
so sweeping a temperance enactment
as the Watts Act and achieve the tri-
! umph that the Democratic party has
achieved. From all reports that we
can gather the new assembly will be
as strongly Democratic as the Watts
Act assembly, and more strongly for
| temperance than that Assembly was.
! 1t is true that the Democrats have
/ probably lost one Congressional Dis
trict; but that district is the strong
hold of the distilleries, has always
been republican. and, moreover, in
this district are the liquor towns OF
Williams and Shore, by Incorporating
which the last General Assembly made
the blunder of Surrendering the Watts
Act in Yadkin county. So far, there
fore, from charging this loss to the
Watts Act. we may as well charge it
to the uncalled for compromise of the
Watts Act. We are not inclined to
press this point; but We know from
a visit to Yadkin county that that
county would have been more inclined
to support the Democrats had they
not yielded the point of the Watts Act
by Incorporating Williams and Shore.
1t is also true that one or two
counties have been lost and one or
two gained. Brunswick will send a
Republican to the assembly: but he is
an out-an-out temperance Republican
and he defeated a whiskey-ring DEM
ocrat. The Democrats in Brunswick
have, therefore, not the Watts Act to
blame, but the LIQUOR men who led
them to defeat bv getting out of line
with their party and the people. In
the two western counties gained by
the Democrats, temperance men are
elected.
1t is plain. therefore, that so far
from proving burden the temperance
cause proved a help to the Democratic
party
AS to the whole situation, we do not
care to advance large claims. But we
Ut derstand that the number of temp
erance men in the new assembly is so
! large that the opposition to the Watts
Act will not find it worth while to
| make the fight. We are Informed that
! thirty-five of the fifty Senators-and
perhaps forty-are in favor of tie
Watts Act; and that seventy-five OF
| the members of the House are firmly
| for the same measure.
We have this to fear, however: In
a few counties men have been elected
who will plead senatorial courtesy ana

How He Cot Square.

One of Philadelphia most success
full business men, who is now making
millions of dollars every year, began
life as vender of fancy goods and
minor household utensils in Montgom-
cry county, over which he tramped
season after season, says the Philadel-
phia Press. In those days he once
came in the evening to a farm house
where, being overtaken by a long and
severe shower, he was compelled
to seek shelter. The farmer hospita-
bly, offered him bed and a supper, but
refused to take payment. The million
aire-to-be objected to this arrange
ment, saying that he desired to recon-
pense his host, but the latter refused
to take a cent of his money.
The next morning, however, the guest
took Characteristic revenge. Getting
up in the early dawn, before even
that household was astir, he quietly
slipped out of the house and resumed
his journey. But before he had left
he had placed on the breakfast table
package of toys from his pack for
the children of the farmers family
And ever since then, at every Christ
mas time, another package has ap-
peared at the farm house. Each year
it has been filled with finer and more
costly gifts, and as the children of the
earlier days have grown up into man
hood and womanhOod the character of
the gifts has changed, while the spirit
of the giver has ever remained the
same.

his wares to an intelligent and careful
customer would be more than apt to
lose that customers confidence and
patronage. Yet this preacher says
that the teacher of the word Of God,
upon which hangs the hope Of the sal
walton Of souls, may with propriety
teach from his pulpit that which is
not correct. for the purpose Of at
tracing and holding attention. What
would John Wesley or George Whit
field have said to such a proposition?
That there are preachers who exag-
gerate will hardly be disputed. But
that it is necessary for any earnest
able preacher to exaggerate may be
denied in the most positive terms. The
man who has a message of Importance
to deliver, especially on so grave a
subject. will not need to resort to the
practices of the circus poster writer
or the mountebank to attract and hold
his audience.

She Thought So.

A Little German woman, whose COM
mand of the English language was
not very extensive, stepped aboard a
train of the Schuylkill Valley division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Brodd
Street Station, says the Philadelphia
Press. She nervously seated herself
near the door of the car.
When the train made its first stop
she suddenly clutched the conductors
coat tail and asked:
Vat station ISIS dat?"
"Thirty-second and Market" he re-
piled
Tank you, sir, taut so.'' she gr'a-
ciously rejoined.
The train started off and soon a few
more miles were covered-Fifty- second
street was reached and again the
worthy conductor felt something at
his coat.
Vat station iss dat? ?" quizzed the
Teuton daughter again.
Fifty-second street." he retorted
sharply.
Tank you, sir, 1 taut So" came the
response.
Bala was the next place yhere the
train pulled up, and again the same
sort of question and answer, Cynwyd
and Manayunk brought forth the same
stollid query
The conductor grew impatient. FL
nally the train rolled into Consho-
hocken.
Vat station ISIS dat?" again ventur-
ed the woman.
The conductor flashed angrily:
What's the matter with you, do
you think 1 am a fool?" he snarl-
ed
Tank you, sir. taut So" came the
subdued tones.

Two sarcastic chapters deal with

In China there are three native re-
ligions, Taoism, Buddhism and Confu-

America there are more than forty

of these diversified. conflicting and new
religions in their own country, the
Americans are sending missionaries to
China to convert the "heathen!"
There is great need of missionaries
in America as well as in China"

who were in search of an asylum of
religious tolerance; now the descend

SITUATION Ar PORT ARTHUR.

The new week opens with the armies
of the combatants in the Far East fac
ing each other at Port Arthur ready
for the death struggle, which it is
believed will occur within a short time.
Almost any hour may bring the in
formation that the great fight is on.
The Russians have been making their
final preparations for the inevitable as
sault on the port; non-oombatants
have been moved out of the way, and
every fighting man has been ordered to
take his place in the ranks. All hope
of the relief of the place by Gen. Ku-
ropatkin has evidently been abandoned
and there only remains to be tested
the ability Of the Japanese to take the
port against the ability of the Rus
slams to successful defend it. 1t seems
to be the opinion among military ex-
perts that Port Arthur must fall, but
there is a difference of opinion with
respect TO the length of time it will
take the attackers to effect the cap
ture. II is conceded that the fighting
will be severe and bloody.
