O! when at dawn the children wake. And patter op and down tha stairs. The flower and leave a glory Uke, The rosy light a splendor share. That nevermore these eyes could tee, If my sweet ones were gone from me. And when at ere they watch and wait. To fold nie in their arms so white. My burdens, whether small or great. Are charmed away by calm delight; And shutting out the world, I live The purest moments life can give. But when at bed time round me kneel Wee, tender, loving, white-robed forms. With hands upraised in fond appeal Ah! then are hushed life's weary storms: And Heaven seems very near to me. With my sweet darlings ronnd my knee, boston Transcript. JIER LOVER'S PERIL. A Girl AVho Proved Herself a Iletwine After All. It was a lover's quarrel, no doubt about bout that. Sky threatening a regular storm brewingone could see at a glance. She stood, all flushed and excited, in the curtained bay window, her fair face cleuded, her blue eyes flashing, her breath coming . quick and fast. He stood at her side, stern and pale, his hands clinched excitedly, his dark -eyes full of sorrow and passion. MAllie!" John Aiisieih'a voice was low and intense with feeling. "It is all your fault, remember," he went on, with an effort at calmness. I Jbave only ,1 ,... It i n.l AnJ T. 1 TT Anil a a ICjUCSLCU JULI, &1UUIJ, guuj out, vf your betrothed husband, I surely have some riiht to desist from these foolish t trtations. "Why, Allie, you were flirting last night with that Mr. Mayne, wkom public opinion pronounces a a I can't tell you, only that he is not company for you, my darling 1" John's voice lost its an pry tone, and irew gentle and tender. "You know that this would not trouble me eo if you were not dearer to me than my own life. Say you are not angry with me, sweetheart." Dr Joh Ansleigh bent hia handsome head, and his dark eyes gaxed into Allie's blue ones. But the little lady was in a contrary moed that morning. She felt like anything but meek submission to the will f her lover, even though she knew all he had said was true, and prompted by his love and care foi her. Allie Hay aa an orphan, aa heiress too, just released from the restrictions of boarding school life. She had lost both her parents in infancy, and had passed the eighteen years of her lite under the care of hirelings and later, at a fashionable boarding school. And, pure as a flower, she had grown up amidst weeds. She had been betrothed to Dr. Ansleigh for nearly a year, and was now under his mother's care, passing a few weeks at a watering place. Society pronounced Allie a hcartles3 flirt; but she was merely a thoughtless, careless girl, plunging headlong into the unaccustomed gaieties about her with all her heart. Surrounded by scores of admirers, no wonder her head was nearly turned into adula tion and flattery. John Ansleigh's words had touched her pride. Did he then imagine that, because she was careless and happy, she was shallow and silly, and needed a guiding hand? She mentally resolved to cut Mr. Mayne's acquaintance tönt very day; but then John should not have the satisfaction of thinking that his words had instigated the step. John had no confidence in her love, she told herself. Weli, let him think as he pleased. All the girl's defiant spirit was in arms; when John, at least, fearing that he had wounded her sensitive nature, attempted to set matters right, he was stricken dumb with amazement as she turned upon him a face that was white and angry, her blue eyes fairly scintillating. "You've said enough, John Ansleigh." . she cried, passionately. I can see now the mistake I have made. We were never intended for ea h other; we are not suited. You want a wife that will obey like a puppet a woman with no will or mindof her . own a perfect (irisel-ft. And I can never , 3ubc.it to tyranny in any form. The man I love must trust me; ft d since you have . ceased to do that we s;e best apart. I give . you back your .reedom.' "Allie, stop!" I)r. Ajasleigh was white as a statue. ! you mean what you say? You do .not love me, then, Allie?'' The girl was thoroughly aroused now, j &.nd regardless of consequences. Nol" she aid madly, "I do not love you .any morel" Hho dashed aside the heavy curtains that .draped the bay window, and was gone. And just then a man arose from the lounging chair besido the window, where be had been ostensibly reading, and sauntered slow:ly ajway. It was Mr Mayne, and there was a curious smile on his sensual lips and an evil light in his gray eyes. "Listeners hear no good of themselves," .he muttered, "Well, maybe not; but at any rate, I know which card to play next. Piqued nd angry at Ansleigh, the beauty will turn to mo. I'll play the heart-broken lover, .step in betöre her anger against the handsome Doctor has time to cool, 'strike while the iron is hot' and I'm mistaken if I'm not .engaged to Allie Kay and her $.'AUOO before the sun sets." 'The best laid schemes o' mice and men gang alt agleet" But Mr. May no had forgotten tka. iFor a long tune. John sat in the Ley window, his head bowed, staring his misery in the face. Could it be true that A llie no longer loved him? Ah, well, it was 'better for him to know the worst before it vim too late. An hour or two later he saw Allie, radiant in white organdie und pink ribbons, aitting on a rustic seat in the hotel grounds in conversation with 3r. Mayne. John bit his lip and hurried away out of sight. Well, after all, it was nothing to him now; he had no longer any right; Allie had ceased to love him. And only a few hours before ho would have staked his life on her love and truth. But John did not know what was taking place out there in the cool siade of tho oak tree, beneath which Allie was sitting with her obnoxious coscpanion. .Ur, Mayne bad asked Allie to be his wife, acd had been very decide J 'y, not to say contemptuously refused, ni wheu he arose tad left her there was angry gleam in his wicked eyes, while in his heart he registered an oath loon er or kterto be revenged. Allie came down to dinner in tke groat dining room, at aunsot, to find John's place vacant. - Where is the Doctor ?"ome one was asking of John's mother, as Allie entered the room and took her usual seat. Mrs. Ansleigh looked troubled. "There has been some accident," she said, "some men were out fishing; the boat capsized, and two of them nearly drowned. Dr. Ansleigh was sent for in hopes that be could save them, their families being totally ignorant of any means of resuscitation. Hut . it is several miles down the beach, and I i'ear it will be late in the night before he can n'turn." Jt chanced at that Instant that Allie raUtxl her eye to encounter a glance from Xayte, who was her vis-a-vis. She could

not repress a shudder as she saw the audacious triumph in his face, . . i Dinner over, Allie threw her shawl about her and wandered off on the beach alone. The sun had set now, and twilight, weird and uncanny, was gathering. Allie wanted to get away from everybody, tobe alone with her thoughts. She sat down at the foot of the tree and gave way to her bitter reflections. A voice aroused her and started herefrom her musings. It was the voice unmistakably of young Mayne eager, earnest. "He bit at the bait mighty easy I" Mayne exclaimed; "won't he be furious though, when he has had his long, hard ride tor nothing, and finds that there has been no accident nocapsized boat no half-drowned menr Mayne paused and laughed heartily. "And you're sure the bridge is unsafe?" he went on eagerly. "Oh, yes, sir!" another voice replied; the high waters and the late storms have just played the mischief with the old thing. 5obodycan pass on horseback without going through sure as shootin'l" "And there will e no mistake no failure T" queried Mayne. "Ansleigh will -be sure to come back that way?" "He'll have tot" the other answered, grimly. "lie went by the beach road, it a true, but he can't come back that way after night falls, for the tide is in now. No, -rär, there ain't but one road for Dr. Ansleigh to come by, and that is o er the bridge. And if he crosses or tries to cross that vreU, you know the rest!" And with a savage chuckle they meved away. Alice sat half atunned at the revektion to which she had listened. She knew the wholo vile, murderous plot now. This was Mayne's vengeance! Ina flash she saw her own way clearly. She bad brought ttw on John Ansleigh she must save his life, though she lose her own. She staggered to her feet, and drawing her shawl closely about her, turned awv.y in the direction of the bridge, perhaps half a mile distant from the hotel. To be sure, 6he did not even know the road he had taken; but if she could only cross the retten structure she could then wait his comicg on the other side. She reached the place at last. Gathering all her courage together, she stepped upon the old bridge. It was nearly dark now, but with an agoni.ed prayer for protection, she moved onward. Even beneath her light weight it tottered and shook. She ould see, away down below, the black, angry water, with its swift awful current, swollen by recent rains, and choked by driftwood; it wai a wild sight there in the gathering gloom. Onward she moved, holding her breath, and with clasped hands and dilated eyes watching the other side. Thank Uod! she is over safe at last! She sank down on mossy stump, and, crouching down, awaited John's coming. And darkness gathered and fell on all things. Sne felt timid and afraid; but she calmed her fears as best she might, and remained patiently at her post. An hour passed. What if he were not coming home to-night? The thought made her heart stand still. But even then she hoard away in the distance, the tramp of a horse's feet coming nearer nearer. Jhe arose and stepped forward. The moon had arisen now, and its clear rays showed her plainly that it was really John. She stepped into toe road. She forgot everything all that had happened that day and, raising her voice, she cried wiUly: John I Oh, John 1" Dr. Ansleigh checked his horse and paused, irresolute. Iiis heart beat tremulously; he could not credit his own eyesight. "Allie! inyilodl" he gasped, ''what is the matter?" He sprang from his horse and in a moment more she was in his arms, her head on his breast, while she sobbed out the whole story. John listened with a new light in his eyes, his heart full of happiness. And while they stood there, alone in the midnight, with a great rush and a roar the old bridge went down. John shuddered and drew Allie closer to him, while a thankful prayer went up to Heaven. My darling," he muttered, softly, "you have saved my life." At first the problem of how they were to cross the river seemed too difficult to be solved; but after a while John found an old boat with a couple of rough oars which had been left there and forgotten; and the way became clear at once. Tying his horse to a great tree to remain until he could send for it, on the morrow, when the tide would be out and the beach road passable John assisted Aliie into the old boat, and they made tho passage in safety. Home in Mrs. Ansleigh's cozy parlor, where the mother was anxiously awaiting her son's return (ho had not missed Allie, but supposed ahe was safely in her own room), John told her the whole story. And when he had finished ho laid bis hand upon Allie's. "You risked your own life," he said, his voice all a tremble, "to saverxnine: Whv did you do it, Allie?" And Allie answered bravely their quarrel a thing of the past and forgetting tho words she had said that very morning: "Because I love you, John."

Taking, Comfort la I.lfe. Sooner or later, friends, the time for folded hands will come to us all. Whether or not we ceas,e from hurry and worry now, we shall one day shut our eyes upon it, and lie still, untroubled by the stir and the fret of the things about us. Why not take comfort as wo go on? You, proud mother of a beautiful, active boy, of what use will it be to you by and by to remember bow exquisitely fine wag his raiment, how daintily spread his bed, and how costly and profuso his toys? hat the child needs is mothering, brooding, tender resting on your heart; and he needs it every step of the way from baby days to manhood. Tako tho comfort of your opportunities. Never mind though the drcsi be coarse, and the food plain, and tho plaything few, but answer the questions, tell the stories, spare tho half hour at bed-time and be merry and gay, confidential and sympathetic with your Joy. And you, whose graceful young daughter is just blushing out into tho bloom and froshnoss of a wondrously fair womanliness, -Jo not be so occupied with your ajiibition fer her, and her advancement in life, that you Lot hor ways and vour pwn fall apart. Why are her friends, her Interests, and her engagements, so wholly and distinct from your? Why tlooa she viait here and receive visitors from this and that home, and you scarcJy know the people by sight? You are losteß precious hour?, and the comfort you ought so take is flying fast away on those wings of time that are never overtaken. If Anna Dickinson is really going to play "Hamlet" we should like to suggest the subject is a delicate one let's see a. lady who is about to play "Hamlet" should be careful about the development of of her intellect? no, hang it, that's not it. If Anna belonged to the Knights of the Garter and wore the badge of the order, as is customary, upon her arm, the subject might be delicately approached. In that casa one might with propriety suggest to Anna to look well to the size of the garter on her arm for a well developed arm is a vary important matter whoa a lady play -"Hamlet," i

TUE ANNUAL CONTENTION

Of the Indiana State Christian Temperaaee Union. What Was Done by the Body Last Week. Thursday's Sentiael. Hie fourth annual Convention of the Indiana State Christian Temperance Union was begun at the Y. M. C. A. Hall yesterday mrning at 9 o'clock, with Jui&e Harrington in the Chair, and some forty delegates present. The usual Committor were jp-j-ointed, after which some Btirring soeeclK-s were made by prominent workers in iie cause. There were several unimportant natters discussed, and at 11 o'clock the Convention adjournnd to allow tLe members to visit the Legislature for th purpose of looking after the amendment prohibiting the sale or manufacture of spirituous liqoor, which was before that body. AFTERNOOJt BESSrON. At 2 o'clock the Convention was called to order by the President, aft-er which Eev. Dr. Vernon, of Roberts Tank Church, made a most eloquent welcoming address, which way responded to by A. E. Pierce, of Lafayette. The credentials f -delegates who had arrived during the hour of adjournment were refened to the proper Committee. A Committee on llelutions was tlien appointed and requested to .report at the night session. A Committee was appointed to draft suitable resolutions on the death of T. A. Mason, who has died since the last Convention. After a few brief remarks by several members, the Convention adjourned until 7:30 p. in. XIUHT 6KK8IOK. Promptly at 7:30 the Convention waa called to order by the presiding officer, after which a moat fervent prayer was made. The District Unions then made reports of the work in their Districts which were one and all of a most flattering nature. The Committee on Resolutions then reported as follows: The State Christian Temperance Union of Indiana in delegated Convention assembled at Indianapolis, April 6 and 7, hereby declare our sentiments aud proposed course of action iu the following resolutions: 1. We thank God and take courage. In view of past success achieved, in the spread if temperance sentiment, in the education of public opinion, ar.d in the quickening of the public conscience upon this great moral question : And we renew our vows to wage an unoeasing warfare upon the liquor traffic and all Its inherent evils, and to strive io save humauity frota all iu baneinl results. These Unions will continue the toilsome labor of raising the fallen ; be al.ways on the alert with kind words, sympath -and helping hand for the reformation of the unfortunate inebriate, struggling with him to a bisher plane of life, with malice toward none and charity for all. 2. The mission of the Unions is Hot alone to pick up,-cherih and save the feeble -senk of humanity the heartless liquor tratlic throws upon the world, and to bind up the wounds of the broken victims, but is also to remove the temptation from the presence of the unwary, the young, the weak, the unfortunate, and tocut oft" all source of danger. 3. We beiieve also that the eople of Indiana regard the liquor traffic and its resultant e ils as the problem which concerns them more deeply to-day than any other, and that they will no longer bear to have the subjeet 1 rifled with by political parties or in legislation. We believe the.' univertuil moral nentitneiit of the blate demands an amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages, and this sentiment has voiced itseif in the joint resolution for prohibitory amendment, now .pending in the legislature. The people claim their inherent right to make or dem ud the organic law of the Slate upon this, as upon other questions, and the representatives of the people have no right to tand between the people and this right. 4. binceat best it will be three years or more before conM.itutional prohibition can be reached, the people demand Mich legislation as will enable them to get control of the tratlic, and be the nearest approach to absolute prohibition, and such end can bent be attained through a local option law, including the penalty of imprisonment for violation of it provisions. The local option bill, now pending In the House, known as House bill 427, similar iu the main to Senate bill 30, dcfeitcd in the regular session, is the result of mature deliberation among the temperance organizations of the State, and have been ascertained to accord with the general temperauce sentiment of the State. 5. The prevailing sentiment also Is that the sale of intoxicating liquors, if it must go on, should be .put upon its merits, separated trom the allurements of games concerts, theatricals and other attractions, and this sentiment embodied itself in the bill known as Hou.se bill 97, which has been treated with silent contempt by the Legislature. C. 1'olitical leaders should be the leaders of the people to netter things, or else their servants, and not the dictators of the people, and with the prevalent temperance sentimeut, no party cun stand or prosper at this day, in yielding to the dictation of the liquor element. We deprecate any and all attempts to prostitute the temperance thought and temperance work to merely partisan pui-pooes. We claim and shall maintain the right to carry our tein.ierat.ee principles with us wherever we may go, and assert when and where we deem it best and needful. We will strive to secure in our respective parties or organization the nomination for otUcinl position of men who have tue promotion of the temperance en use at heart, and in whose hands its great Interests w ill be oafe: and we now serve notice on. the leaders of all political organization that we will not, under any circumstances, give our adherence or support to any party nominee for otllce who is not iu harmony with the principles herein set forth. 7. We urge upon the people of the State to honor, sustain and return, regardless of party, thone representatives of the people In the Legislature, who have nobly and faithfully advocated, voted for and sustained our temperance measures Introduced during the late regular and the present special session. m. We respectfully invite all lovers of peace, virtue and good order, to rally to the supKrt of these declarations, and Join with us in carrying out these principles, which shall ultimately lead to a grand and glorious triumph. 9. Our 'resident shall appoint, after due deliberation, true and tried temperance men in each Couuty in this State, as au Executive Committee: that said Committee proceed to organize the State, and prepare all things for the good people of the State to rally at the proper time around temperance men as their candidate. IU. The contest between us and our enemies promises to be long and tedious full of obstacles that will require time and money to accomplish. Therefore, we urge our friends to see to it that funds are raised aud placed at the disposal of the proper olllcers of this organization, that their work may not be trammeled for want of sutllclent means to' make the work effectual ; that the subordinate Unions make this an cscctal object of their local work and respond freely iu their behalf. Kesolvcd, That the publication of U.ese resolution! are requested in the Indianapolis dallies and in the weekly secular, religious aud teni France press of the State. There was some little discussion on the report of the Committee, but it was adopted unanimously. A lively discussion then ensued upon a resolution regarding the modes of worship of Christian organizations, but it finally prevailed. The place of meeting of the seiu (-annual Convention of the organization was then taken up, ami the cities of fafayett, Terre Haute and Kokomo were spoken of. This matter lead to a lonp and lively debate, after which the.ciiy of Kokomo was chosen as the place, and the Convention wili meet there in October next. It was then announced that the amendment prohibiting the sale or manufacture of liquor would gx before the tvenate at IO o'clock this morning, and it was thought protx r that the members should be present to uxe tlieir intluei.ee for its passage. Here JIalleck Floyd, of Wavnc Coiintv, a member of tho Hoiifc of Ilepreseniativi, then addressed the Convention for a few minutes on the watchfulness that should be taken by the temperance workers in all parts of the State. A Committee, consisting of live gentlemen, w&s appointed to attend to the prohibitory amendment In the House of Representatives to-day. The Committee consists ot A. K. IMerce, of Lafayette; W. II. Tramwell, of Huntington; John Keeker, of Franklin; Mr. Whlttney, of Elliottjville, and S. E. Barton. After the appointment of the Committee the Convention adjourned to meet at 8:30 this morning. r Friday's Sentinel. J Tromptly at 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning the Indiana State Christian Temperance Union was called to ordr by the Presiding Officer, U. W. Harrington, ia tho Y.IL. C,

A. HaTL After the transaction of some unimportant business, the Committee on Nomination of Officers reported as follows: President, IL W. Harrington, of Indianapolis; First Vice President, Thomas Kavanaugh, of Fort Wayne; Secend Vice President, IX J. Mitchell, of Terre Haute; General Secretary, I). It. Koss, of - Indianapolis; Treasurer, II. W. Harrington, of Indianapolis; Executive Committe: A. E. Pierce, of Lafayette; D. T. Smith, of Blcffton; Josiah Stanley, of Kokomo; John Drake, of Lafayette, and Jesse E. Wilson, of Fairmount. EVEKING 8E8SIOKThe Council promptly assembled at the appointed Injur. The first matter presented was tlte report of the Finance Committee, which was adopted. A lively debate then ensued over the matter of raising funds to carry on the work, but before .any conclusion could be arrived at, the Committee on Resolutions made the following report: The Grand Temperance Council of the State of Indiana, representing all Temperance Associations of the 8tate. in Convention assembled, hereby declare our principles, objects and coarse of action in the following resolutions: 1. We thank God and take courage in view of past succes snchieved in the spread of temperance sentiment in the education of public opinion, and in the quickening of the public conscience upoa this great moral question; and we renew our vows to wage an unceasing warfare Uou the liquor traffic and all its inherent evils. 2. We belieoe that the people of Indiana regnrd the liquor tratlic and Its resultant evils as the problem which concerns them more-deeply today than any other, and that they will no longer bear to have the subject trilled with by political parties or iu Legislature. We believe the universal moral sentiment of the State demands an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting the manufacture and sale of .intoxicating beverage. 3. Since at best it will be three years or more before constituent prohibition can be reached, the people demand Mich legislation as will enable them to get control of the traffic, and be the nearest approach absolute prohibition, and such end can bet be attained through a local option liuv. including the penalty of Imprisonment for violation oi its provisions. The local option bill now penning in the House, known as House bill 427, similar in the main to Senate bill 30. defeated in the regular-tresMon, is the result of mature deliberation among temperance organizations of the State, and lhas been ascertained to accord with the general temperance sentiment. 4. We urge upon the people of the 'State to honor, sustain and return, regnrd less of party in the Legislature, who have nobly and faithfully advocated, voted for and sustained, over temperance measures introduced during the late regular and the present special sest-ion. 5. That we firmly disapprove the conduct of the Temperance Committee of the House of Representatives, and of the Speaker of the House, for the f pirit and manner in which they have treated our bills bearing on the subject of temperance in

apparent attempts to prevent our bills from reaching the members of the House for the votes ifor or against them, aud we do not hesitate to declare such course of proceeding ought to he ue nounced by all fair minded men. and that it was directly in iu effects opposed to the wishes of the temperance people of the Siate. and in the direct and substantial interest of the whisky power of Indiana, we do not intend in this expression of disapprobation to include the member of the Committee from DeKalb County. 6. That we have no hope of achieving success for any thorough temperance measures through the machinery of any existing political nartv. 7. We hold the triumph of the temperance cause to be paramount to the success of auy poht ical party. H. That the President of this Council, with the aid of the Kxecjitive Corns, it tee, snail appoint a Mate central committee of true men. to be com posed of one from each County in the State, of wnicn uommittee tie snail be Chairman, and that each County Committeeman -shall apivoint a Committeeman from each Township of his County, which shall compose a County Cen tral Committee. and that the County Committeeman of each Congressional District shall organize a lmrict Committee therein with proiKT Chuirman and olllcers. The duty of said Committee shall be to look after and care for temperance interest, ami see to the election ot any future ICgislaturescf not only tempenite men, but of thorough temperance men, and to care for aud protect temperance interests at the ballot box. 9. We res pect fully invite all lovers of peace virtue and good order to rally to the support of these declarations, and join wife us iu carry it if! out these principles, which shall titimatcly lead to a grand and glorious tiiumph. After quite a squabble it wss decided to allow onlv five minutes debate on each .ection. The first section that called forth any division of opinion was the third, which re ferred to the local option law. Tins section was the cause of a ions; und heated debate, during which Judj;e Harrington asked the Council to stand by their action in appointing him at a previous meeting to draw the local option bill and work for its passage. If they now intended to go back on him lie was anxious to know it at once. ' A. E. Pierce. Miss Hoyt and others made speeches both pro and con. The resolution then passed, as was the fourth. When the fifth j-ection was reached there was a lively time for sure. Mr. Pierce objected to one Member of the legislature being named as standing by the temperance cause. He was in favor of naming all or none. These remarks called forth speeches from nearly every member, and amendment after amendment was made and voted down. After more speeches the section was passed by u vote of 44 to A. E. Pierce, of Lafayette, then introduced the following resolution, which was adopted : Resolved, That we condemn the action of all metnbersof the State Legislature, Irrespective of party, who have attempted to thwart the well-expressed will of the people in refusing to give them such temperance legislation as they have demanded: and we heartily approve of and sustain the action of all those. Irrespective of party, who have favored such legislation. The following resolution was offered and adopted: Resolved. That this Convention cannot in justice adjourn without making a public acknowledgement of the services jerformed by the Chairman of the ICgislative Committee-, Mr. II. V. Harrington, and his worthy Secretary, Miss Auretta Hoyt. who have been so faithful in the discbarge of their duties during the bcgislHture; that we appreciate their labor, and hereby extend them our thanks for the same. Saturday's Sentinel. At . o'clock yesterday morning, by William Edgarton, of Durui th, in the absence of the President, there were quite a number of members added to the Executive Committee. The announcement was then mude that tie Sonate Committee hnd voted in favor of the Constitutional Amendment, upon which information the Council joined in singing the hvinn, "Praise t.od From Whom all Plessings Flow," and Rev. T. II. Lynch oiTVred prayer. A congratulatory telegrain was sent to Governor St. John, of Kansas. The following resolution was adopted: IU.-Mlved, That we, aa representatives of the temperance sentiment of the Htate of Indiana, having Just heard ot the success of our temjeraiice Joint resolution touching prohibition in the 8tateol Indians, take this method of expressing our heartiest thanks to those mcinlem of the General Assembly who have given this measure their intluence and support. A resolution welcoming Mrs. Mnlloy buck to Indiana was uisscd, and the Central Committee wus directed to arrange for her continuous service or the Kost rum in the interest of constitutional prohibition, until the same shall become a part of the law of the State. Mrs. Molloy was allowed fifteen minutes to explain the contest in Kantus over the prohibitory amendment. After the transaction of some routine business, an adjournment was had until 1 I'M p. m. AFTERNOON FESSION, After an hour in devotional exercises, the Committe on Itcsolutions rcrted by Miss Auretta Hoyt the plans of work,which areas follows: Resolved. That the main work of the rand Temperance Council of Indiana for the ensuing two vcars shall bo to secure tho next Legislature for the relndnrsement of the i'rohibltory Constitutional Amendment, adopted by the present one, and Its passage tUercl u, and tho following shall be the general plan of work: L The President of the Council, together with tbeald of the Executive Committee, shall appoint a fctate Central Committee consisting of one man, true to tempc ranee, (mm each political party in each County, of which Committee he shall be Chairman, and said Committeeman shall appoint one true man trom each party la each Township or Ward, which shall compose a County Central Committee and the County Committeeman from each Congressional Uistrict shall organize a District Committee therein, with proper Chairman and officers. The duty of said Committee shall be to look after and care for temperance interests, and hair see to the election to the Legislature of 1KK3 of men unequivocally pledged to re indorse the

prohibitory constitutional amendment adopted by the Legislature of lssi. 2. While the object of the Council is unification and direction of temperance sentiment and effort to one common point, we recognize that the ageucles for the development of temperance seutimeut are many and varied, and we recognize the fact that the growing volume of temperance sentiment in Iudiana is not within the control of temperance organizations exclusively, and we have no desire to so assume; bat as we do look to all good citizens of thelate to co-operate harmoniously with us, and we rely mainly on the wise and ielf-6acriticlng labors of the home-workers within and outside of temperance organizations in every County and Township to be so combined as to secure the attainment of constitutional prohibition. 3.

Believing that proper instruction of the young is oue of the surest conservators of the morals of a State, and the foundation of its perpetulty.as well as oue of the surest methods oi securing practical prohibition, therefore, the following Committee is hereby appointed to prepare a circular letter to the educators, school ofiicers and Town&hip Trustees of the State, urging the subject of temperance text books in the Public Schools. Iu this connection we mention "Alcohol aud Hygiene," a book prepared by Miss Julia Coleman at the request of the National Tem.erauee Society, for Introduction into the Public schools of the Cuited States, aud Richardson's

"Temperance Leison Book." prepared for introduction into the Public Schools of England: Professor J. Roberts, Indiauapolis. Professor George P. Brown, Terre Haute. Miss K. Cropsey. Indianapolis. (X Studebaker, South Bend. Clarkson Davis, Spiceland. (. The following Committee shall issue au address to the ieople of Iudiana: Dr. J. W. F. tierrish, H. W. Harrington. J. W. Cornier. 7. The following Committee is appointed to furnish reliable statistical information!! during tne coming campaign, and may select a Secretary outride its own number, if bv so doing it can facilitate the preparation and calculation of such statistical lnlomiatlon: J. W. Kay, Indianapolis. William Blister, Richmond. Dr. R. T. Brow-t Indianapolis. Kev. L. C. Buckles, Thomtown. Kev. T. A. Goodwin, Indianapolis. 8. While due praise is given to all where self sacrificing labors have contributed to the success of the work of the Grand Council, we rectrgnize me lact tnat me labor of our Corresponding secretary, M. E. Shiel, has been the chief single agency contributing thereto, and we hereby express to him our warmest thanks, and pledge earnest effort to show our appreciation by promoting the interests of his paper, the Monitor Journal, and by seeping the treasury supplied with sutlicient funds to pay him a salary for his incessant labors as Secretary; and, whereas, one State oflicial organ, as a convenient, prompt ana cheap channel of communication between the officers and the temperauce center of the State, is of the utmost importance, we recommend that the Monitor Journal be agreed upon as such, and that at least one copy lie taken in ever)' Township in thcState, for the purpose of keeping the work In line: but that the Lafavettc Temper ance Herald and all other temperauce papers be encouraged ana sustained. !, The campaign before us will require a vig orous prosecution of the work of organization by the best talent we can command. We therefore instruct the Central Committee to secure the services of organizers who will command the thorough confidence of the public, and direct their services to the unorganized points, arrangements being made so that each shall receive the proper remuneration from the field where the work is done, each or gunizer so credentialed to report his or her work to the next meeting of the Council. 10. The President and Executive Committee are hereby authoiized to open permanent State Central Temperance Headquarters at Indianapolis, to co-operate in every way with that ol the President and Secretary at fcevmour, expenses to be met out of the general fund. 11 Asa measure of precaution, and for the purpose of protecting our work from dissensions and danger, the President and Executive Committee shall have power, upon good cause shown, to remove any member of any Committee and fill any vacancy that may occur, by a majority vote. 12. Dr. J. F. Oerrish. Judge n. W. Harrington and Win. H. Trammel shall be a Committee to revise the Constitution of the Grand council, and the blank form of Constitution lor County and Township Councils, and report the same to the next annual meeting of the Council. IX The Secretary of the Council is hereby instructed to print 0,0(10 copies of the Monitor Journal, containing the proceedings of the Convention in supplement, and mull i. copy of the same to each officer of thisConucil and members of the vnrious Committee appointed, and distribute the rest among the various local temperance organizations of the State. 1 1. The financial basis agreed upon at the last regular meeting will be continued until each County has paid its full assessment, and a Committee of one for each Congressional District will be appointed by the President to secure the same. In the meantime prompt financial aid is desired of all who are willing to contribute to the furtherance of this work.The plan was adopted, after which quite a number of sjteeches were mude, hiu1 the Crand Council adjourned. ' Important Eeciaions. Attorney General Baldwin yesterday made public the following Important decisions: Messrs. Brown t Bery, Mltchel, lud. Vou ak several very important questions. 1. Are the first, third, and ninth Constitutional Amendments of March is, ihm, was in force or do they require further legislation. Amendment No. 1 reads as follows: ttf3 In all elections, not otherwise provided for by his Constitution, every male citizen of the United State of the awe of twenty-one years and upward, who shall have resided in the State during the six mouths, and in the Township sixty days, and in the ward or Precinct thirty days immediately preceding such election, and every male of foreign birth of the age of twenty-one vears and upward, who bull have resided in the I'nited States one year, and shall have resided in this state during the six mourns, in the Township sixty days, and in the Ward or Precinct ttdrty days Immediately preceding such election, and shall have declared tils intention to become a citizen of the United States, conformably to the laws ot the United States on the subject of naturalization, shall te entitled to vote tu the Townsldp or Precinct where be may reside, if be shall have been duly registered according to law. This amendment evidently requires further legislation to become fully operative. It should Iks supplemented by a registry law. Suppose that the legislature doe not pass such a law. Can the citizen entitled to vote under this amendment be deprived of such right by the failure of the tiencrai Afseinblv to provide for his registration? I think not. The legislature can not nullify or retard the operation of the organic law In such acase as this. II the legislature provides aa opMrtuntty to register, and the cilken entitled to vote by this amendment fails to register, he loses bis rotu. 1 think the tneanltiir of the last clause, "if he hall have been duly registered according to law," U that ho shall observe such registry law as the Central Assembly prescribes; if they fail to prescrilM" such law, then be ia not in default, and. if otherwise qualified, can vote without a rcRistry. Amendment No. St reads: All general elections shall le held on the first Tuesday after tho nrst Monday in November: but Township elections may be held at such time as may be provided by law: Provided, that the lieneral Assembly may provide by law for the elctlon of all Judge of Courts of general Or aopel. hte jurisdiction, by an election to to held for such olllcers only, at which time no other olllcer hall lie voted for; and shall alio provide for the registration of all persons entitled to vote. All of this amendment .that prevdos tho words provided U In force per sc. The gcuerul elections are changed from Octolier to November. Unless tho legislature provides otherwise at thii session, the Township elections take place this year as heretofore. But with all of this amendment subsequent to the word provided, the case 1 differeut. This t art is einiply a grant of power to the Lcglslaturd to provide that Judicial ac tions shall be hcl separate and independent of the other election. The objeet of this is to separate Judicial elections from the excitements accompanying partisan rolliical strife. I conitiue tho clause, ''and shall also provide for tho rt gistration of all persons entitled to vote." as a Legislative duty, to be Fromptly fulfilled. But I do not think its nonIll 111 lraent can operate to the prejudice of the voter otherwise entitled to te franchise. Amendment ito. 9 read. "o political er municipal corporation, lu this

State, shall ever liecnme Indebted, in anv manner or for any purpose, to any amount, iu the a.'Krekhu exceeaing 2 per centum on tne value of taxable property within such corporation, to be a.certainel by the last a sessment. for State and Countv taxes, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness, and all bonds or obligations, in excess of such amount. Riven Ijy mica corporations, shall be void: Provided, That in time of war. foreign invasion, or other great public ca lamity, on petition 01 a majority ot tne propertyowners, in number and value, within the limit of such corporation, the public authorities, in their discretion, may incur obligations necessary for the public protection and defense, to uch an amount as may be requested In such petition." I think this is now iu force, and needs no further legislation. I do uot see how any statute could exceed in force and clearness this constitutional provision. The second question you ask presents a far more difficult problem. Mitchell is an incorporated town in Township, and is indebted to the lull constitutional limit. But the Township in which Mitchell 1 situate has no debt, and it proposes to take stock in a railroad. In the Township's application to the Count v Commisioners.is the indebtedness of the town of Mitchell to be taken into consideration? Of course the town and Township are separate and independent corporations. No property holder outside of Mitchell can be called upon except he has property within the town to contribute to the paraent of the town's debt. On the other hand, a'll the property of Mitchell can be called upou to contribute to the proposed Township railroad tax. That course would not make the alleged debt of the Township the debt of the town, nor atl'ect the separate existence or Independence of the two corporations any more than the fact that the citizensof Mitchell vote In the Township elections of Towuship in which Mitchell is situate affects the independence or distinctness of the two elections and oßicers elected, and that regarding the proposed railro .d aid as a debt it is not the debt of the town of Mitchell, but of Township, and there is nothing iu the financial condition of the Township that is affected by the uiiith amendment. A rok. test is: Could the town of Mitchell e sued for this deb'? If not, it is not a town debt. But another question a riiyes Ik your proposed railroad aid a debt? I do not think it is. The Township does not propose to issue any bonds or to use the Township credit In taking the railroad stock. They propose to raise the cash and then upon, the railroad )eing built through its Township to take stock. They have no power to do anything else. (See Sec. It, Lk. S. It. S.,p.:m.) Iflnot so built, afproperty holder of the Township could enjoin Its payment. This is not in mv judgment a debt: it is cash down, and does not fall within the inhibition of ihc ninth amendment. April 6, ISM. D. 1. Baldwin, Attorney General. ANOTHER OPINION. In view of the fact that 1:1,000,00) are to-day invested in certificates, all of which are a part of tba public records of the various Counties and can not escape fixation if the otticers do their duty, it is important to answer your questions secihcally and plainly: 1. Tar certificates are credits. The new tax law defines credits thus: "Credits: by w hich is meant whatever is due to the party from any other person.Compauyorirorporatioii in the 6haj e of labor, prot-erty or money." The purchaser at tax sales, when he invests bis mouev, does so knowing he will receive in return either the money taid by way of redemption or the land itself. It is made a credit within this definition. 2. In estimating tax certificates no Assessor should think of anything less than par. The investor is absolutely certain of his money and fi per cent interest, and may realize as high as 40 ier ccnL, or ultimately receive property at the rale of per cent.
