in the solution Of the liquor prob.l
lem, but the very existence Of rel.-
gion. No church aligned with the
interests of the liquor can progress
or increase in membership.
"Gentlemen Of the st. Louis Con
ference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, don't mistake the
attitude Of the Roman Catholics on
this momentous liquor question.
An ireland of st. Paul, an Elder Of
Cincinnati, a Keane Of Dubuque,
Spaulding of Peoria, a Ryan Of
Philadelphia-all have spoken out
in no uncertain accents on the evils
of the liquor traffic in America.
Recently an aged priest OF the do
cese of Cincinnati has visited every
ltrainlng.school OF the Catholic CLERGY
lin the states and Canada, and has
Iorganized large and flourishing total
abstinence societies among the
Young aspirants to the Catholic
priesthood. Many OF our bishops,
east, west, north, south, pledge all
the children OF the annual conhrma-
ltion classes. All this augurs well
for the future of the great temper
Iance fight that is now on. Let US
lnot find fault with one another, Tor
this union alone will give US the
strength needed in the great battle
Ifor souls, for Christ and for country.
"The church then, that is not up

mot true to the Savior OF man kind.
We can not be neutral on this ques-
tion. There can be no compromise
here. The brewing and distilline
Interests of America are antago nlstlc
to the church and religion and they
will crush the church II she does mol
crush them.
"Yet there are many leaders who
; are too weak -kneed to face the real
Tissues. They say it is all right tc
preach and practice total abstinence
but to mix up the politics OF the Il
quor question with religion is mo-
within the province of any church
In other words, do all you can tc
rescue the individual from the con
Ihagration, but don't attemptthe TOOL
ish task of putting out the fire."
1t is most gratifying TO know tha
j ohnrohas that differing so widely il
doctrine are cooperating in the tenn
perance movement; nevertheless th'
egiant is only half awake. The weak

The speeches were short and
concise, Messrs. Blackburn Smith
and w. II. Lewis presenting the
Commonwealth case, and Mr..
Chas. Nj. Broun making brilliant
plea for the defense.
The jury was allowed to 90 to
their room and elect their foreman.
and were then taken to the hotel
for the night.
The remainder of the day will be
taken up with Chancery cases, and
the trial of James Chamblin for
the killing of Flora Alexandria ON
the night of September s will be
called at $50 tomorrow morning.
From the evidence thus far heard
by the COURIER It is believed that
a first degree verdict will be re-
turned in the Chamblin case. al
though the defense may produce
witnesses to offset all of this.
The same jury will act in this
as in the Lippkin case.

for the purpose of informing the
council. so that it might intelli-
gently provide for the towns ex-
penditures. For this service Mr..
Jones was paid his charges. Before
making public the result of his re-
searches it would seem, that pro
prTety would have required that
this dgem should first have obtain
ed the consent of his principal to
do so. This consent would have
been promptly given. 4 consent
to a garbled statement, such as
was published by Mr.. Jones, how

That his said garbled statement
tends, at least. to mislead and
deceive the public mind'' we think
will appear from a copy IN .fuU of
