"The Ballot Box."
The lie". Dr Deems was the first
paplisher of a political temperance
paper m the world It adToeated
prohibition in 1853, thirty five years
ago. Has the Dr. alwajs been before
his age? He tells us that the paper
was called the "Ballot Box, and he
need not nave to d us that . at tiat

I have never been so disgusted
with' party politics as I am to-day,
I am one who takes everything for
Ood until couvinced to the contrary.
A Methodist myself, I take every Me
thodist to be true and to come into
our church with his eves open and
according to law.
We take ce tain obligations that to
a Christasn should be as binding as

One question on the admission of
members is this; Will yon cheerfully
be governed by the rules of the M. E
Church, hold sacred the ordiu nces
of God, and endeavor as much as in
your lies to promote the welfare of
your brethren and the advancement
of the Redeemer's kingdom?" Answer

oppose tax or license ? : ;"V v-;W-
Now, brother, let us be honest. You
knew these thing before you. came
into church fellowship. But in the
face of these facts you help place
men in . office who are pledged to tax
or license, and by so doing you are a
partner in the crime of drunkard
making. ;'".y''- :;f: y'ii'k
Any Bible reader if asked who built
the temple at Jeruslem would say
Solomon. But the multiplied thou
sands of men who prepared tha ma
terial were surely patners in that
grand work. So when you vote for
those men who are pledge to the old
parties you are partners in the crime
of drunkard-making, you are helping
to establish these sink holes of
iniquity all over the land, and yon
protect them by law. The church is
blamable to-day for the sin of the li
quor traffic, which is send ng nearly
100,000 souls to perdition every year.

WASHDJGT02J LETTEB.
. (From Out Regular Correspondent.)
, Washington, May 11th. 188?.
luesday was apologists day in the
u tilted States Senate. Soon after
the Senate met Mr. Ingalls, the Pres
identpro temleft the chair and wen
to hu place on the floor, it being un
derstood that Mr. Voorhees had de
cided to make an apology for the use
ol unparliamentry language in his
debate with Mr. Ingalls a week ago.
benator Harris, of , Tennessee, had
been called, (as he very frequently is)
to preside, aad after the discharge o
some morning business Mr. Vorhees
rose and said if it would not interfere
with other matte s lie would like to
make a statement which he consider
ed d ue to the Senate. He had been
absent from the Capitol since tne day
of his famous encounter .with the
Kansas Senator on account of a car
buncle affliction. : -I'v-:':- ''
He said :. 'I t is known that I v have
beenconfined to my room during the
past week, seriously indisposed.
visited the Senate yesterday with the
intention of making the statement
which I shall how make, but the op
porcunity uia not present itself, and
Kev. W. T. Walker, editor of the
North Carolina Prohibitionist,
published at Greensboro, delivered
lecture at the Opera House Friday
night on prohibition. He was greet
ed by a small audience on account of
the inclemency of the weather. He
presented startling statistics in re
gard to the evils of intemperance,
saying that the consumption ;- of in
toxicating drinks in this country costs
nearly the enormous sum of a billion
dollars a year.. -He said that it was
impossible to form a just conception
of this immense -amount only in a re
lative sense. If a boy just old enough
to count were to begin counting, a
dollar at a time, he would be at the
task when the snows of age were c-'v
ering his head. If the much-talked-of
snrplss in f e national treasury
were appiopria ed for that purpose it
would not pay TJncle Sam's bar bill
for two months. If every farm in
this great nation had a gold mine up
on it we could not stand this expense.
He said that the whiskey ring was
the most thoroughly organized con
binat on on this continent. This cli
que employed a man at Washington
to watch the proceedings of Congress
.and see ' that no legislation was
indulged in which militated against
the vast whisky interests. " Eleven
thousand saloon keepers in New York
city, of which the majority are forei
gners, practically controlled Amer
ican p olitics, and if radical measures
were not adopted as a preventive this
vicious element would even tually se
cure supreme control." Mr. Walker.)
suffering so much, I withdrew . and
went home. In reference to the dis
cnssion m which 1 participated last
-
week, I desire to say to the Senate
that, however severe the provocation
given, l at that time made use of lan
' . .. . - . ----- ... . .
j i
guage contrary to tne rules, usag s
and decorum of the Senate. I regret
having used such language ana ten
der a proper apology to the United
States Senate for doing so. My high
respect for the dignity of this body,
as well as my self respect induce me
to make thi statement7
After this handscjoe apology, and
without any comment j on his part,
Mr. Ingalls resumed his seat as pre
siding officer.
x nen senator noar, oi Mass., pre
sented a memorial of the New Eng
land conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, protesting against
the ratification of the Chinese treaty,
or any treaty the precludes C nines
ministers of; the gospel, v or Chinese
delegates to religious conventions,
coming into the country, character
izing it as utterly u a-American and
ua-Christian. - -'-:-
rhey were a little too late ith this
protest, the treaty having been ratifi
ed by the Senate on Monday. The
Massachusetts Senator remarked that
"until there could be an appeal from
the, American people drunk to the
American people sober, the matter
might be considered settled. He,
therefore, asked that : the memorial
might be laid on the table and it was
so ordered.
Next Senator Palmer of Michigan,
wanted to make an apology. In hid
speech in reference to the irregulari
ties of certain land-grants, he found
in the Record, that he was qnoted as
sayns that all these grants were
"covered with the ; tr il of the ser
pent". This sentence had occurred
in his mannseript, but he had omit
ted it in his speech. - Although he
thought there had bee a good deal
of the trail of the serpent about these
gr-nts, he thought the remark was
too general in its character and he
wanted to have it stricken out
Both Senators having "owned up
like "little men", business was resum
ed and the Senate moved on serene-
' On next Tuesday the largest gath
ering of members of the Baptist de
nomination ever held in this city will
begin an eight days meeting at Cal
vary Church, t The occasion will be
the anniyersa y meetings of the three
great societies of the Baptist Church,
the American Baptists Home Miss
ionary society, the American Bap
tists' Union, having charge of foreign
missions, and the American Baptists'
Publication Society. The societies
will not be in! session at the same
time, but as fa3t as one adjourns an
other will take its place, each ho d .
ing a session every day. ; They are
distinct, and yet are held together by
the similarity of the work they have
in charge, and the members of one are
enti tied to a voice in the proceeding s
of the others. jBetween two and three
thousand delegates are expected to
be m attendance, including many
prominent pastors and laymen m the
Church, besides a number of foreign
rissioBaries. !
At a conven tion h Id by the Pas.
tors' Alliance of the District of Col
umbia in this city during the week,
the question i'Shall we admit a Mor
mon state" was discussed. Mr. Jos
eph Nimmo" Jr., made a" C n otabal
speech in opposition to the attempt of
ecclesiastical organization, and also
to protect the missionaries thus en
'aged in the great work of advancing
our Christian civilization against the
political power of the Mormon
I
Church. ; r -
