For the Saline Observer .
The undersigned rejoices that there
is to be a  new  temperance society in
Saline, and that to show its magnitude
and    interest  it   is    to   be     named
the "Twentieth  Century Temperance
League of America"   having for   its
only object the prevention   and   suppression   o£   intemperance   and.   the
reformation  of  the drunkard and  not
to be used for the benefit of any political organization,  religious society,  or
personal   aggrandizement.       I    have
been a worker in different organizations
for nearly three quarters of a century,
but it seems that no great or  perma-.
nent good has been accomplished, for
drunkeness is greater now in proportion
to our increased population than- ever
befpre.   This new society is to ignore
I understand the beaten tracks of  the
past century,  and  to  work  upon  uew
plans.   Of course the undersigned will
endeavor to become one of its charter
members, shall say no more about it at'
this time: for the very strange action of
one national senate committee, so lately
had upon the canteen question of the
army, make that the all absorbing topic
of the hour.   I must say I believe  that
this action was a great surprise  to  a
large number of true temperance  men
and. women of our land.   The Senate of
the United States which as a body has
been looked up to by our people with
admiration    as   the   -embodiment    of
statesmanship, patriotism and philanthropy, and which has also commanded
the respect of all civilized nations, has
actually fallen far below its   former
greatness, being today composed in a
great degree of members whose power
is shown in bullion, in  trusts and in
political sagacity." Its very  rare  that
any other qualifications is necessary to
be successful in contests for seats once
occupied  by  such  distinguished   and
never dying names as   Daniel Webster
"the Godlike'' Henry Clay the. beloved
"Harry of   the   West",   William  H.
Seward the successful advocate of the
"Higher law doctrine",John C.Calhoun
the "Great Mullifler" of South Carolina
Jeiferson   Davis    and    Alexander H.
Stevens, stars of the  first magnitude,
but alas! shining in  the black canopy
of Secession   and  the   "Lost  Cause".
Then  there  was Thomas  H.   Benton
"Old Bullion" of Missouri  and Silas
Wright of New York and Sumner  the
"Martyr of the  negro  race",  Stephen*]
Douglas the "Little Giant" of Illinois
and our own  Austin  Blair the "War
Governor Of Michigan" and others of
like standing.   Of course there were
vievjs held by these   men,   radically
different from each other upon .economic, state and national policies; but in
moral standing and in political integrity
the members of the United States Senate have stood as one* man "and   he of
collossal statue.
Good Heavens! where does it.stand
now, after the election of Mat.Quay'and
the defeat of that honest -old member
Zack Chandler. What a1 change! "and.
a change that calls for thought
and action of every 'vote? ,.o"f" our land.
The Senate's"actietu upotf- the Canteen
questiQrr, is in fulE accordance with this
great downward change, for that,
action was in direct opposition to the
wishes of the President with all of his
experience as Commander in Chief of
the Army and also of his Cabinet, the
Generals, Surgeons and Chaplains in
the Army, and of many of the wisest
and best men of our nation. When the
•two thousand delegates from the W. C.
T. U. "came down like an avalanche
upon the members of the House of
Representatives with their "buttonholing" arguments, accompanied with-
personal beauty and winsome .ways;
we were surprised, but did not despair:
feeling that when tbe bill should wmt<
before the Senate the sad! s=ad! mistake
of the House would be rectified, but
we fouud that the same power had been
at work there, that^-fcad succeeded in
the lower house, and the actiou below
wassu>tained which seemed to fully
substantiate the report, \iz: that Temperance organizations of the land with
the W. C. T. U. as a leader, were
already in the political Jhsld for JWU-l,
and that millions of dollars were called
for, not to be used for that campaign
only, but. to sustain a competent lobby
for the various State Legislature at.d
also for the Spring election soon lo
be held. Now! if this movement w-w
meant to help the c-iuse of temperance
I would bid it God speed! hut it's not
the intention of its leaders, nor could
it prove a success if it were. The experiments of the past century show that
all efforts for suppression and refor-J.
mation have failed, that man cannot
be reformed by force or.by Legislative
enactments. Will the reatr^r please
ponder over this'-view of the >ejibject,
and act accordingly, but act • immediately. . "Vindex.f

Gen. Geo. Spalding was Wednesday
appointed a> member of the board of
guardians of the industrial school for
girls at Adi'ian, tosueceed Mrs. Smith,
deceased. It is thought by some ^that
this will result in the removal of Mrs. ■
Sickles the superintendent.—Clinton
Local,        .
People kiss their dead who never
stoop to kiss their living; they hover
over open caskets with hysterical sobs,
but fail to throw their arms about their
loved ones who are fighting the stern
battle of life. A word of cheer to a
struggling soul in life is worth more
thau all the roses in Christendom piled
high on the casket covers. The dead
cannot smell the flowers butthe living
can: scatter them broadest in their
pathway, therefore, pluck put the
thorns.—Ex.
Prof. Inman, Dowagiac's weather
prophet, says the present weather conditions will prevail until February 1st:
There may be a few squalls, but- no
severe weather will be experienced.
The professor two years ago predicted
that wheat raising would be unprofitable for six years to come, owing to
protracted mild weather.in the autumn.
Thus far -his predictions have been
verified. He insists that the next four
years will.be a repetition of: the two
just past.^-PIymouth Mail.
-Hark to this bit of wisdom from
Editor Rubbetl ot the MarletteLeader,
which ought to be endorsed by every
farmer in Michigan: "There should
be a genuine overhauling of road laws
and methods in Michigan and some
plan carried out that would do away
with the SBmi-annual closing up of
transportation. The farmer loses
more every year in increased expense
of getting to market than good roads
would cost him, and .the businessman's
loss is fully as much. A law ^that
would compel the building of roads by
contract and do away With the road
work farce should be welcomed;"
A movement is in progress among
railroad managers to do away with the
news agents and-peanut boys on trains.
Already this'has been done on many
eastern roads, and the traveling public will be ready to hail its banishment. As now conducted it is nothing
less than a school for dishonesty to the
boys engaged in it. Their chief effort
is to "beat the public" in one way or
another." Boys thus trained will be
rascals in a larger way when the opportunity offers. Railroad companies
who banish them from their trains are
doing a benefit to the boys as well as
to the public. It is a reform to be
commended.—Indianapolis Journal. .
Ed Lancaster put an oil stove in his.
bedrobm at the Lancaster Saturday
afternoon, and after lighting it, went
across:the halt to his mother's room,
where he sat and chatted for some
time. Thinking possibly it would, be
well, to look after, his stove, be went
back to his room when he found the
whole thing on fire. He realized that
something-ought to be done, and that
very quickly, so he caught up some
bedclothes, threw them around—the
whole outB^-picked it up and started.
The, clothing which he. wrapped
around it hung down so that -when he
started down stairs he trippsd- and fell
headlong, but managed to get the
thing out of doors. Ed was obliged to
visit the barber shop at once and get
his hair and eyebrows trimmed and a
shave, the fire having singed him. considerably. His hands were burned
some but not seriously. Taking the
whole thing into consideration, it was
a lucky escape and one the whole
household may well feel thankful for.
