THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

World interest has shifted from
Manchuria to New Hampshire, where
two quiet men are waging over table
q battle as momentous in its results as
the siege Of Port Arthur. The field has
changed from bullets and bayonets to
duel Of intellect and the strategy Of
statesmen. But the bloodless advances
and retreats in the quietude of the old
New England village are no less
fraught with great results than the
massive movements Of armies in the
field. The ENJOYS at Portsmouth are
changing the face Of the world. Theirs

must go from the east coast Of the

of Intentionally making some Of the
schedules of that bill higher than was
even then-eight years ago-deemed
necessary or desirable, in order to
give the country a fulcrum upon
which to rest it's reciprocity and trade

republicanism, without doubt, that
wrote into this Dingley law as the
corollary to those schedules, then, and
even since, frankly admitted to be ex
cessively high, the provision for their
reduction to the extent of 20 per cent
in consideration Of advantageous con-
cessions granted to our commerce by
other countries.
But what sort of republicanism Is 1t,
pray tell us, that has gone square back
on that bargain? What kind of repub-
licanism is it that to all practical pur-
poses repudiates one side of this con-
tract and hangs tight to the other?
What kind Of republicanism is it that
asks us to forget that there ever was

it becomes of immediate interes
to know what relations Colonel LATE

Can it be that there is deep plotting
going on in Iowa against any favorila

nomination? And moreover, would 81

of an official associate? And in TIC
event of plot could Colonel Lafe

Is right in advocating neatness. Let
it apply to both men and women,

it is expected of the women most

While I endorse Jacks views on
this subject. | can see no reason why
| may not endorse "Pansy's" also.
Now. Aunt Jennie, started out
to write on another subject, and I
hope it will not bring such shower
of disaprrovals as Jack Klinard's
ticle. Temperance is the subject
which / have desire to talk
on. Now you all doubtless disap-
prove of the vice Of drunkenness,
but there is another phase of this
subject which is of vital concern to
all who desire to see the day dawn
when this vice shall be all in the
past. Great day! There is class
of men such as fill the ditch and
wallow in the mire, to whom all talk
is in vain. But there is another
class who drink only behind the door
and in secret places. and yet rank
as the best of society, Of such be-
ware! The only cause of their not
drinking heavily is the disgrace. Let
him get away on an excursion
where none of his friends are, and
no one knows him, and he will show
his real colors by getting ''hog"
drunk.
I do not say this is the case every
time, but the girl that marries "tip-
pling" man runs narrow risk.
Now one of the greatest him
ORANGES to stamping out this vice is
the encouragement that the 'tjolly-
go-nerry" fellow gets at the hands
of the fair sex. Laugh, if you will.
but it is a fact, that in society
to-day. the best men of this stamp
not only win recognition, but IN some
places a decided preference is shown
them. This is not the least among
the causes that make drinking the
greatest curse of our fair land. and
until this is realized by the girls.

Tn all the Methodist Churches of Montgomery announcement was yester- day made of the approaching meeting If the Alabama conference. which Will assemble next Wednesday at Dothan. In the Montgomery churches the an- nouncemert was coupled with the statement that because of the absence af the ministers in attendance upon conference there would be no services in those churches next Sunday.
 For the Methodist Churches in Mont gomery, the year just closing has been a gratifying one. The membership of the churches has steadily increased and it is understood that the reports to be made at the Dothan conference will be very satisfactory. so far as the local churches are concerned. The most of the local ministers will leave for Do- than Tuesday.
 within the limits of Montgomery there are six churches of the Methodist faith. the Court Street, Rev. J. A. Rice. pastor; Dexter Avenue. Rev. w. M. Cox, pastor; Clayton Street. Rev. D. c. Moore. pastor: Ferry Street Rev. B, l.. Moore. pastor; West End, Rev. J. w Rev. Frank Seay. pastor. The presiding elder of the Montgomery district. which is perhaps the most important in the conference, is Rev. M. H. Holt.
 The thriving little city of Dothan will be filled the latter half of the week with pastors from Middle and South Alabama and from that portion Of North Florida which is in the Alabama Conference. A number of prominent Iaymen from Montgomery will attend the conference.
