The proposed coalition of the
democrats and nationals in the spring
campaign is now a foregone conclusion, and it is no longer practical to
advocate or oppose it. Men with
heads on their shoulders will now
only consider what should be done by
the coalition when formed. The
most important part of this problem,
too, is to avoid doing foolish things
rather than be too anxious to do all
possible wise things. Undoubtedly
the most foolish thing the allied conventions could do would be to take up
the silly cry of the Free Press about
the university. Our esteemed contemporary is merely throwing up a
cloud of dust to conceal its own masterly ^retreat from the rock-ri bbed and
uncompromising position it occupied
ten days ago to the camp ofthe coalitionists. Having laid down the flag
of Bourbonism which it swore two
weeks ago never to desert, it has
taken up this new banner with the
strange device which has no follow-

Before legislating further on the
Mormon question let those virtuous
congressmen clean out that house of
prostitution known as the Treasury
Department. The chief ofthe United

record that members of congress use
the treasury girls for their own vile
purposes, and that few, if any, virtuous women can secure positions there.
Nor has congressional morals improved much since that report.
Only a few years ago the senator

—Our esteemed friend and correspondent Leota, is on the wrong track
this time. Rev. Mr. Campbell did

they are as much unlike in character

Saturday evening Vast, Capt. 0.11.
Van Etten, of Auburn, N. Y., made
an address, on temperance at the Congregational church in this place. The
Clare band welcomed him with spirited music, and a large audience listened to his remarks. The speaker was
original in his methods, and happy
in his illustrations, and interesting
everyway. He sang some, talked,
and told stories, comieal, yet effective.
The Captain meant business. *IIe
took off his collar, and waded into his
audience with a fervor that elicited
warm applause. His ideas of the
using of tobacco were identical with
our own views. He stated that that
habit unquestionably had a firmer
hold upon men, and was harder to
break than was that of drinking. lie
stated that statistics show that while
Squire Brown could put on lots of
style from the profits of selling liquor,
it required twenty-six such customers
as old Jones to enable hini to do it.
In other words, it took twenty-six
old Joneses to make one Squire Brown.
A number of new pledges were made
by men given to drinking, and the
speaker's lecture was voted a grand
sijoeesis, and resolutions of commendation-and appreciation passed, Tlie

"Rough and Ready" says that "the
social held at Wm. Philps's netted 14
cents." He informs me Mr. Philp told
him so. I presume if Mr. Philp had
known that he was being pumped
for thc benefit of thc public, he WOuld
have entered into the particulars
more fally. It so happened that there
was only 14 cents of change among
those present, all having bills, and
agreeing to hand the amount of their
donations in subsequently. Our social
netted $1.10 cash, 80 cents'worth of
tea, besides flour and potatoes, and
considering there were only Mr.
James Stough, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Bachelor, Mr. Angus McDonald, Mr.
and Mrs. Smalley, Robert Smalley
and ourselves to pay anything, I
think we did very well. There were
some young folks that did not pay
anything. As Rough and Ready did
not* help raise that 14 cents, I do not
think he need take any credit to himself on account of Vernon's generosity.
We think "Anon" is the Rev. Mr.
Campbell. He has bombarded the
different churches so long, hoping to
see them topple over so that he could
build him a church from their ruins,
and thinking that he has discovered
a weak point in their socials, he has
moved his cannon to thaf side. In
the discourse of his that "Rough and
Ready" speaks about, he brought the
Clare Press down to read to his congregation. He read the notice of tlie
spectacle social, then the article of
"Anon," and then preached from the
text, "3Iauy are called but few are
chosen,*" and liis hearers wrere given
to understand that it would be an
awful close shave for all except their
speaker and his followers. We think
also that the Reverend gentleman
answvred himself over the Norn deo
plume, "Church Member," I woulft
like to nay to Church Member in re-
is but* few people that don't know that
the donations are gotten up to help
raise the minister's salary. I don't
think our ministers are beggars. I do
not believe they want gifts. They
want their rightful earnings and think
we ought to do ali we can to raise it
for them. What would we think of
a man that hired another to chop
wood if be shouktsay, "You are a tip
top fellow, I think you have done
your work well; here, I'll make you
a present of twenty-five cents," but
say nothing of paying him what he
agreed to for chopping the wood? If
I understand the forcible language
used in the country, I-think he would
be advised to go to a warmer climate.
I should like to ask "Anon" who has
done the most good in Clare and vicinity, those noble men and women
of the Congregational and M. E.
churches that have gotten up those
socials to help on God's cause, or the
Reverend gentleman and his followers have tried to build themselves a
church by tearing-down others? I for
one, think that God will judge them
according to his works and those according to theirs, "His Bible teaches
him that he must possess what he does
profess." I wonder if .he thinks that
working as hard as he has done to
break up a Methodist class meeting
shows that he possesses the love of
Christ in his heart? He was determined we should not hold this class
meeting on his day for preaching.
We tried to have it early so we could
get out of his way. Then he would
.come early and tell us if we did not
stop our meeting he would leave and
go home. This he never did. Then
we had it after his meeting so he
could get out of our way. He came
later and later and on hi§ last appointment he c\id not commence his meeting until time for our meeting to
commence. Now if a man that will
fight so against those that are trying
to serve Gwl profess a time christian
spirit then I am mistaken. He says
a "House divided against itself cannot stand.." I wonder if that is the
reason he has worked so hard to get
a division in the Vernon chureh. I
would like to say to him, "First, cast
out the beam from thine own eye,
then shalt thou see clearly to cast-out
the mote out of thy brother's eye.
