Wt five up considerable of our space,
ii.ii week, to a report of the proceedings o
the county convention of the delegates ot
the W. C. T. U.. as furnished by the sec
reUrv. The space taken rather overshad
own the importanee of the aflair. but «e
are always willing to l'lease th« tender,
gentle, and loving creatures who keep our
bomea.make us happy and arc the mothers
of our children. 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.

of a nuuiber of our co-workers, namely,
Mrs. XleCaw, of Mars; Mrs. Christy and
Mr*. Ikmner, of Butler; Mrs. Hrum-r, of
Millerstowu, and Miss Ida Wilson, of l'ros
peet,
llenolved, That *bila we bow with sub
mission to these dispensations •>( Provi
dence, we are comforted by the thought
that they died in the acceptable service of
the Master, and as we hope have entered
into that higher rest provided for the faith
ful.
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 in union there is strength; and wo
call ourselves » JIIOH-, therefore wn recom
mend to neighboring auxiliaries nnder our
care that thov co-operate
in everv good word and worW. valkinp t
tether so far as they are agreed in the unity
of the Spirit and the love that thinketh no
evil but hopeth all things.
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. , , .
That our thanks are hereby extended t<
those who so kindly opened their homes
and entertained the delegates; to the trus

during the past year, and to all who have
in any way contributed to the success

i STATEMENT— LAMBS WHO BELIEVE IS A
« SOS-PARTISAN WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN TKM
PERASCB rsios.
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.

spread to the Council building next to it.
To consume this was but the work of a few
minutes, 40 the Ijijildjng «>; small. A row
of three houses adjoining, belonging to A.
Cochrane, were caught am} destroyed.
The wind changed at this instant, and
blowing across the street caught and de
stroyed the big general store of Long's op
posite. This store was a frame, belouging
to John Schwalui, and was one of tbo
largest in town. A large dwelling, oc
cupied by James Small as a residence and
the grocery store of Klingeusmith's quick
ly followed »itt;«i< the fury of the tire,
as well as the dwelling of Mr. Jfljngpl!-
smith and Boal's brick house adjoining,
occupied by G. B. Fiscus as a residence,
Miss Sproul, milliner, J. D. Boal and D. H.
Townsend, as residences. The Armstrong
iHllltttntr. ntnrnytetr Tij- I fprgotstein as a
notion store and residcnco, and Daniel
Beatty's dwelling house were tlje last pon
sumed on that side of the street. The
flames were stopped by H- Piper's frame
store.
Meantime the fire on the other fide was
still raging. The big general xtoro of
Squires, Mrs. Spang's building, and Edwin
Hill's law office were quickly wiped out.
The Leechbnrg Banking Co. were next to
suffer, but saved all their accounts. D. H.
Oosser'i lioas" was the last on the north
side of the street bmuvu. The fire was
stopped by Mr (Josser's largp brick ttoie.
The postoffiee in the rear of Schwalm's
building was burned, but all accounts were
sjyed: also a bouse adjoining occupiod by
Wui. IV')' n-i if dwelling. The Advance
printing office was totally dpstw®d.
At 9:30 o'clock the firu wit* i»l( i>vej\
There was a good water supply, but as
there was no hose, a carriago was sent
down from Apollo, which did good work.
A tire engine was telegraphed for to Pitts
liljrj?, but as the lire was over before it left
Allegheny, it wijs ordered back.
Fit to be Made.
