TITO Subscriptions, as they grew smaller in amount, increased m number until the total reached nearly 888,000. Near the close of these proceedings great enthusiasm was created by n subscription of88,000 sy A. yr Wheeler, of Chicago. On announcement that the?

John promptly rapped thC convention to order at two o’clock, it was nearly halt ad hear later before the great body was tesdy fer bust ness. The assemblage is proving to be almost unwieldly, because of the large number of delegates and alternates, nearly all of whom sewn to have come loaded with a speech. The proceedings were opened with music and Bible reading, and prayer by Rev. J. a Evans, of iiiindis. The committee da resolutions presented both n majority and minority report, the bone df contention being the Woman-Suffrage question.

That the manufacture, importation, atportation. transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages shall be made a public crime, and punished as such. 8 That such prohibition must be secu red through amendments of our National and State constitutions, enforced by adequate laws, adequately supported by administrative authority: and to that end the organisation of the Proh hitton party is imperatively demanded in 8 lute and Nation. A That any form of license, taxation or regulation of the liquor traffic is contrary to good government: that nay party which supports regulation, license or taxation enters Into alliance with such traffic and becomes tbe actual foe of the Slate s welfare, and that we arraign the Republican and Democratic parties for U elr persistent attitude In favor of tbe licensed Iniquity. whereby they oppose the demand of lire people for prohibition, and. through open complicity with the liquor cause, defeat tbe enforcement of tbe law.

That civil-service appointments for nil riv 11 offices, chiefly clerical la their duties, should he baaed upon moral, intellectual and physical qualifications, sad not upon party service or party necessity. T. That the right of suffrage rests on no mere circumstance of race, color, sex or nationality: and that where, from any cause, it has been withheld from clUsens who are of suitable age and mentally and morally qualified for the exercise of an intelligent ballot, it shonld be restored by the people through the Legislatures of the several States, on such educational busts as they may deem wise.

A Pleasant View of tins Tmni-ltlen from the Summer Into the Winter of Life. Now, it is quits true that the great majority of men, and oven many good Christians, can not attain to the thought of a happy old age without a hard' struggle. We have a natural reluctance to the feeling that we arc growing old; we put it away; and when something at last forces it opcm us, it is like the rush of an armed man from an ambush, or the Me of the firs t snow to tell us thnttbe long, summer days are gone, and that winter is at hand. And yet. as you may have seem, it is the transition which is the meet painful. When the first days of brown October show ns the fresh green leaves of summer, now sere and yellow, dropping from the boughs under the wind that wails through the thin woods, we can not help » feeling of sadness creeping over the heart. But when winter has come it has its own enjoyments; there is the long; quiet evening, the cheerful gleam of the hearth, the closer bosom of the family and of friendship, the pleasant memories of summer, and the hopes of its return—these give to winter its gladness, and even its glow; If we are in this transition, or nearing it, we should seek to realise it, and* to rise above it by looking forward. Every time of life to a true man is only a transition to something bettor, “1 anil growing old; yea. I am growing old; Lord, leach me to conns dty days and to look not so ranch wistfully back as hopefully forward, forward, forward to the quiet peace and happy thoughts which Gad 'can give in winter, and still further, to the day when winter shall bo past, and the rains over and gone, and the time of the singing of birds shall again have come.”—ffett John ier, 3.
