The Valparaiso Messenger thinks Calvin S. Brice, of New York, will make a good senator from Ohio, because “there is nothing stuck-up about the man.” But it was not the absence of the “stuck-up” but the presence of the “put-up” qualities which made him senator, ami there is nothing in the man’s past career which gives evidence o. the possession of I any remarkable qualities further ! than a genius for making money by speculation and an adroitness in spending it for his own pleasure and gratification. A good sen-’ ator, forsooth! He will cut no larger figure as a statesman than did Coal-oil Payne, the other boodle senator whom he succeeds. <. The hew non-partisau women's temperance organisation, organized in Cleveland, Ohio, last week, begins its career under auspicious circumstances. The old organization, the W.C. T. U., did noble work for temperance reform until it became a political organization, and there is no reason for doubt-

ing bit Thai The new order will take up the work which the older laid down, and do good service to this good cause. The name the new organization lias chosen is “National Crusaders.” One of the notable features of the meeting of Cleveland was a letter from the grand old£ Quaker poet and philanthropist, John G. Whittier, the essential portions of which are quoted below: “I have always regretted the action of the W. C. T. U. in taking a partisan position. Ido not, by any means, impeach the motive of the noble and devoted women of that Organization, but I have seen no good accomplished by their separate political action, I hope the non-partisan temperance workers will not waste time and strength in combating the political organization, but go forward in their own way, which I think is the best Hint so far as I can see the only one likely to accomplish the great object of temperance effort. With all good wishes, I am thy friend^
