Bv reading over the res olution. you will see that the sole object of the organization, at present i< the attainment of female suffrage, a-s a preliminarv necessity to the attainment of prohibition. God has made a man a man and a woman a woman, and these ladies physically, mentally and morally—md that the prohibition of the manufacture and sale of all liquors, would follow equal political rights and duties. We think that tbey are mistaken, and that they are in riting a worse evil than the liquor trai fic, into the social and political life of the State. Some women wish they were men. and all men who have anything to do with them, wish no too. Internal Revenue. The party of Jefferson and Jackson is now quaking in its shoes for fear the Re publicans will repeal the internal revenue «ystem—just what Jefferson and Jackson would do if they were alive and had the power, as they were both earnest oppo nents of local taxation for Government purposes, and equally earnest advocates of protective duties. But the Democrats of to-dav are not American in spirit, as * ere Jefferson and Jackson;they are pro-British, more anxious to find a market for English products than to aid the industries of their own land. That at least is the logical con clusion Jrom the economic principles they profess. But the whole internal revenue system ought to be abolished—wiped out. and not a trace of it allowed to remain. The The money needed for the purposes of the Government can all be raised by customs charges. If the Republican Congress will do this, it will go into the next presidential contest greatly strengthened, and sure to win.—Harrisbnrg TrUgraph. A* important decision was recently ■i ade in the U. S. District Court in Phila delphia, in regard to the use of decoy let ters sent through the mails. A detective operating for a district attorney, bad sent certain letters intending to entrap certain persons guilty of illegal practices. The letters were, on their face, in violation of the law. and the detective was charged with the offense and tried. The district attorney pleaded that while tech nically guilty the intent and ,lot eril. The court decided that this plea did not excuse the offense, and the detect ive was convicted, though the punishment was made light. The ruling of the court was as follows: "I know that it is the practice of omcors to obtain evidence by means of deception. "Whether it is lawful" I am not called upon to decide, but I will say I do not think it is in accord with good morals. That the I" mi ted States mail should be made the vehicle for obtaining this money, propertv or other evidence is, however, unlawful. It is as clearly a fraud as if intended to obtain anything for private gain and the ±rt of Congress in question has been as mseh violated as it would have been in a private case." This ruling will materially effect one of the methods used by the police —that of •ending decoy letters—for if they in any manner trv by fraud to obtain anything which can be used against a prisoner as evidence they are responsible under the art of Congress making it a crime to de fraud or attempt to defraud by means of the Tnited States mail.

Al len read an excellent paper on the relation of Temperance to Capital and Labor and it was requested for publication After the opening of the afternoon ses gion Mrs. Rice (who had been appointed by the Executive Committee to do so)gave the basis upon which competition for the banners should bo mailo during the com ing year, being the proportionate increase of members who are already iden tified with the county union. The fact was also stated that the banner will only be retained while the union continues to make such percentage of increase. The election of officers being the order of the day it was moved that Article 3 of our Constitution be amended so that nom inations can be' made \erl>ally in open Convention, which was carried.

That we view with alarm the rising tide of Sabbath desecration in our land, in which the liquor traffic is th chief agent, sustained as it is by the influence of our government in its mail system and other departments operation, and we hail with gratitude the efforts that are being made to maintain for ourselves and posterity this inestimable blessing. We pledge our selves to more earnest effort to promote the proper obsei vance of tjjp Sabbath and to give active co-operation witi; ;he Na tional Sabbath Association, which has li.ii object for its principal aim. Overwhelmed as we were by the magni tude of the amendment defeats in six old States this year, we remember that God still lives, and rejoicing in Hinj, «o hail the birth of twin Prohibition States, the two outweighing all, as youth surpasses age in potency and promise, and none the Jess do we rejoice with the Dakotas that tk«u .-."generation is in part coupled with that of ();(.- political party which some of us have loved iu the past,and all would de light agaiii to horn*. The vote of the 18th of having taught us. as never before, that along will; educative and moral influences for the up lifting of the people, must go also the legal equality of woman, we urge upon our unions the study »nJ of the question of equal suffrage; rcpoioiMundiuir that they obtain from the State Siuicriij tendent and circulate the most efficient literature on the subject, that wo may be prepared to rejoice with our sisters of Wyoming, where after lifteeu year* of trial a new State has been constituted with no I political restrictions save that of ignorance i and crime.

That unions situated near each other unite in holding social and public meeting to the en.l that they may become more ami more successful in enlisting sympathy among the people outside the unions. Whereas it has been noticed in this con vention that the work of superintendents is sadly marred by their failure to ob-ain re ports, therefore, lUfwlml. That local officers are earnest lv enjoined to consider their duty in this regard and conscientiously respond to everv communication received. That it is the sense of this convention that the annual meetings be distributed through the county, and that the semi annual. if not abolished, should be ht early in the sainincr, so as to allow the! an nual to take place before the btate con vention meets. That we censure the \ ice-I resident of the United States for the example set to the country by his participation in the liquor traffic. , , .

The following which explains itself was 1 read in place in the convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance I niou on Friday afternoon: . „ 1 When the time for the election o( officers „ arrived Mrs. Dr. Stiowalter announced in r a pleasant distinct manner, that she war not a candidate for re-election, and that as she was now practically withdrawing from the Woman's Christian Temperance I mon she did so as a matter of principle and v.iUi tjte Uiost kindjjr %lu>S f,,r - all . nomination of nrtie«»r». Mr*, tvrrr !TtTn ] asked that she might read a paper, consent j being given the following was read: We desire. Madam President, to present to you and this convention a statement concerning the views of the non-partisan members of this convention. The original and pronounced central idea upon which the W. C. T. U. was organized, was that of [ a neutral field outside of the pale of church or party, where the Christian woman ol the I world conld join their forces to do battle against woman's greatest enemy, alcohol. On thi.-vbroad basis the order grew and prospered, women of even* shade of Chris tian and political faith united in earnest thought and council against the common enemy. Broad and deep foundations were laid for uniform national system of labor iu fields educational, correctional,reformatory and legislative, and the world, looking on, thought that the days of the rule of misery and death from intemperance were num bered, and that the generation of youths now growing up under this educational in tlucnco would see, uot as their lathers saw. but as their mother.) had taught, and by their acts in their various fields of pulpit, press and legislative hall, would wipe out the remnant of the liquor traffic. But at the present time and lor some years past, it has seemed to manv loyal members .>l' the W. C. T. V. that the order was depart ing from its original platform and weaken ing aud ruining its influence by allying it self with a political party. By thi-> action thousands are prevented from joining in the work and thousands already and always true aud loyal members are obliged to sit iu silence undei the rulings of party ma chinery, or hear themselves branded as dis loyal in attempts to raise their voices in minority protests. We believe that the great and holy work of the W. C. T. U. lies beyond and above the lines ol party politics. We believe that this is also the feeling of vast numbers of the members of the W. C. T. U. who find that through the manipulations of its machinery, no oppor tunity is give:-, them to express their views, save in ineffectual "resolutions' in local unions and disregarded protests in state and national conventions. We believe all power ascendsfrom the local unions to the national. Time is too precious to be wasted in contention. Many of us have been drawu into this work. by an irresistible current which we believe to be of God. Some of lis have years of toil already given to its various fields, and have pledged the remaining years of our lives to the promotion of its end. We have pleaded first with our county that if we were non-partisan, that we adopt such a resolution, or amendment to our constitu tion as would set ns right before the world on this subject. We have gone from coun ty to state and from state to national con ventions with like results. Deeply grieved at tho condition of affairs in state and nation we cannot yet forswear our vows aud leave others for their pleas ure the fruits of our labors and the duties delegated to us by a power higher than they. To Him who has called us let us answer. Therefore actuated by the dic tates conscience, and loyal to the tern perance cause gjiall withdraw Lorn the W. C. T. U. and cordially welcome to our ranks all who are of like minds and beliefs with ourselves, and extend the hand of auxiljaryship to all local unions which may iu the futijre organize oil the basis of non sectarian '-non political W. C. T. U. work. Signed ou behalf of tho oUiuer*, delegates aud members of this convention, [by] Mrs. N. C. nire, Mrs. I. J. MiSßride, Mrs. M, Kate livers, Mrs. M. E. Nicholls.
