Miss Mooie, in lier speech last Thursday evening before the W. C. T. U. coiiventlon, at the Presbyterian ohui-ch, was viery bitter against the men. because the ballot had not been givien to woanen. SiliO demajided the ballot in order to wipe out the liquor traffic, and threatened tliat all of the wonien wortih haring - or words to that vutxi- wouio ïeave uie ntates not nnitimg tlis rlghit, and Me them away to Colorado and "Wyoming, where woraiaai is on an equality with maji as far na the ballot is concerned. But Miss Moore dld not teil her hearers the oondiition of tlxe tmperance movememt in ttoose states. In Wyoming wonaOn hayie voted for yOa.rs. Wihy ie tlxat not a prohibitory etate ? How far a.head of Michigan, for ostancO, is AVyomins: in reeard to tdie saloon quest.ion. If the ballot in tlie hands of wonnen is necessary to wtpe ooit the liquor trafile, why don't tlue ivomen wipe it out where they hn-e the ballot? Mise Moore made no converts either to equal suffrage or prohibition. Mis. Lathrop, who made a few remarks afterward, did not help mattere aaiy, eitJier. She does not seem to iLave learned that more flies are to be c&ught with sugar than witli gall. But it is evem so, and her sharp, dnistic, eaustic remarks (lid not tend to help the cause she íidvocated. AYhen yon eay to a man : "Come here, you dirty brute ; can't you see "Jiere you have been wrong all your Ufe timie ? Kow get down in the dust aind implore forgiveness, and marci along witli me !" you will not be one-half as apt to secure Mm tor your canse, as will tlie orne wlio addresses liim soanewhat after this íashion: "Now my dear, it will please me very 'inuch if you can look at this questiou as I do. I am greatly in earnest. Won't you thmk alxrat it. and for my sake, aaid tlie sake of the pause I holid so sacred, work and act with me?" Tlie latter avïII wla ninetynine tianes out of a liundred, Avhilo the fpraner will lose in as great poroportáiaa. IF tlie WGiiiem ol tijde country really desired enfranc-Jnwinent, and believed i!i;h the welfare of the nation, and nattom's foundation, tlie home, pemueu m any material üegree upon it, do yon Uiink du' ballot ayouUI be with lii'ld fronm them ? Ivoi: a dar. The wdys anuí nnothers of the nation rule it far more fian the men are willing tu ailmii, and whén they are comviuoed t.hat any great móvemeni !b itteceesary to ihe general weHare, i tlicy fimd a way to win their j hands. ïatlici-s. miis or brothcis ovei' to tJn'ii" way oí thinking.

At the offices of the Atlantic steam ship lines in New York and Boston. it is giveai out t-liat over 31,000 firstclass passages to Europe of residents of tlie United States have already been booked for tlie aext three moiitli. Aad yet tlie people are coustantly bowling about hard tianes. It proves tliat the hard itianes are with the working people, and are brought about by lui attempt of our natioual law makers to foroe a destructive Southern business polioy upon the nation in tliO shape of the AVilson bill. The nearer we approaeh to iree trade tlxe harder up will be the common people, and the more extravagant the aristocracy. Free trad, cheap labor and Hwoll aristocracy a la tlie South in anto bellum days, go hand in hand. Strew roses for the blood they shed, Kue- for all the pain and strife, Lilies- for the peace they made, Immortelles- for endlêss life.
