The Xorthtceatern of September 10, asks with a good deal of earnestness and righteous concern, why temperance work in this state and others is a failure; why such small results follow the efforts of good brains and great money ; why “one hundred and seventy thousand petition ers have less influence with an Illinois legislature than has a basket <>f cham pagne.”. 44 . . , „ lam not au “expeueuccd worker, from whom an answer was sought but on ly an observer of temperance work. Vet possibly an observer at a little distance may as clearly discern why the battle goes to the enemy as do his soldier friends at the front. From such standpoint, therefore, I reply Chiefly, temperance work lacks the greatest possible results because temperate men are indifferent; because but few of the temperate men of the state are temperance helpers in soci ety and at the ballot box; because there is a fatal lukewarmness where direct hostil ity dare not help; because women com prised more than half the signers of Illi nois’great petition, and could not vote; because eighty thousand men signed that petition as the sentiment conscience con fessed to be right, then, at the first politi cal election, very generally stultified con science and voted for party, right or wrong, temperance or intemperance; be cause the multitude of voting church members fail to practically recognize the promotion of temperance as part of their creed and duty; because they give God their theory and the devil their practice, j This indifference of nominal friends is mighty, and its might is ample to account for even a total wreck of the temperance cause. A house divided against itself has never made a success of long stand ing; one whose majority of clansmen turn to hew and haggle it with the claymore of the ballot presents a marvel in main taining existence and courage for an hour. More than this, despite forever finding hostiles where friends should be encamp ed, temperance work ought hardly to be set down as “all to no avail.” It has cer tainly achieved encouraging progress In the last spring elections in this state a far larger proportion of its townships than ever before put forward and elected local temperance tickets. The little women had a large hand in this result through second hand votes. Again, a discrimina ting Journal correspondent, many years familiar with sessions of the Illinois leg islature, during the senatorial campaign of last winter, wrote: •This is a sober campaign, anil Miss Willard or Francis Murphy might come here, ami the sight or the smelt of what they abominate not offend them. They could not see or smell it because it Is not here. In this respect there has been* vast improvement during the past half dozen years. Again, tlie records of the general gov ernment, from its organization to this time, prove by the intense logic of official figures that, in proportion to population of the country, scarcely more than one third the amount of alcoholic beverages consumed in 1790 was consumed in 1878; in other words, that this generation gets drunk but once while that was reeling three times; that people now are thrice as temperate as then; that in ninety years intemperance has dropped to its arm-pits into its grave, aud that another fifty years will place sods above its battered hat. Still, inditlereuce is the great obstacle to speedy and complete success. The fact of it is painfully apparent. Every man knows that he, or his neighbor, joins a ribbon club, or gives other hostage to temperance, is temperate, and talks tem perance every day in the year—except election day; and that, on this most vital of all days to temperance, he almost uni formly goes to the polls without a tem perance ballot, and casts a whisky ballot, at least a stupidly indifferent ballot—the same ballot cast by lots of drunkards aud drink-sellers, no matter which his politi cal party; and that the winning by the ballot he casts is no victory for temper ance. llis temperance gives way to but one thing—that is, party politics; that is, the arch enemy of temperance; that is, the devil, any party without a conscience. It is this reckless kicking over in a day the accumulations of a year by both tem perate aud temperance men that blocks the wheel of the temperance chariot. Not till these men take conscience to the polls will drunken men and their families get full emancipation. And conscience makes higher demands than country even; certainly it ought to be obeyed before any party devoid of it. Temperance has a majority of professed men, but a minority of votes. Does any man doubt that in this state the small army whose temperance is a principle, bringing their hearts to humanity, and the large army who arc temperate, and would prefer to sec all the world so, but arc colu from policy or indifferent from habit, do jointly comprise the numerical majority of voters? Let that man list all his personal acquaintances; he must him self be very low in life if lie finds their majority rum-stained. Indeed, the Norlhvtettcrn exceeds this, aud has“ near ly half of the people of the state enrolled in temperance societies." How, then, will one account for less than complete success, and leave out giant indifference? One cause of this indifference is the fault of the temperance workers. They have not said too much to drunkards, but they have said too little to sober men about their responsibility. Reform is good but prevention is better; and its no use to talk prevention to men who are al ready sick; talk that to the well; ring con science, responsibility, justice, positive action, and resultant human happiness in the ears of the temperate but torpid; show them that in human society every man is measurably his brother’s keeper; convince them that temperance is not more exclu sively a moral issue to be solved by moral means alone than is education, honesty, or other virtues; show them that temper ance demands the support of statute law as much as does honesty; that it were as reasonable to leave stealing and murder to be checked by moral suasion as to thu9 leave intemperance. Thinking, sober men are disgusted by the perpetual lay out of gutter stories aud wifc-inaulings in temperance meetings; some are alienated; it is an old story already known. But they arc not pricked with the breadth of their responsibility; they think it ends with keening clean their own door-yards. They make it a side issue in politics, if anything, while African slavery was not more legitimately a direct issue, nor more thoroughly a human and a humane question. In this oblivion of tiic respon sibility of society for intemperance is a weakness which mocks the good work. If no existing political party will become human, build a human party to grow up for God and temperance. Nail “Prohibi tion” to its mast head; then amend Long f cllow’s line and cry; “Sail on, O, Sober Ship of State!’ Intemperance must be cured by law, or live Another weakness is the personal pock et-interest which whisky men take in see ing that their agents are nominated for office, while ‘temperance’ men skip the causes and on election day simply vote for men on both sides with their feet in a bung-hole. What next? What shall be the cure? Let the women vote on this question. If men will perpetuate vice by indifference or open support, womanly virtue must come to the front and save humanity, its homes, its children, its state. During eight hundred years no wo man is known to have entered the monastery at Camaldoli, Italy, except once, whon a princess of the house of Medici, who had a great desire to behold the place, disguised horsell in men’s clothing and was admitted. But so stricken with remorse was she on boholding tho sacred spot, that she hastened to the Pope to confess her fault, and, as penance for it, was com manded to build a cottage in the en closure, which she did. This monas tery is one of tho few institutions of tho kind suffered to remain in Italy. A recent visitor says that what are called cells are comfortable little dwellings. Each is surrounded by a wall, and has its little garden, twenty fcotsquaro. A little piazza, with the trunk of a tree planed and squared for a bench as its only furniture, runs along tho sido of the house. Enter ing the door, you find yourself in a brick paved vestibule, with an empty chamber where a spring of water is flowing into a basin on tho left, and tho living rooms on the right. These consist of a study just largo enough for one person to sit down, a dining and sleeping room, with the bed built into the wall in the fashion of a ship’s berth. A small table, two chairs, and a cupboard complete the furnishing. Food is passed to the occupant through a hole in the outor wall, all being prepared in a common kitchen and brought to the hermits once a day. They never eat meat; and their por tion of fish on all except fast days consists of six ounces of fresh, or four of salt fish. v . x'-y/k. H. P. WEAVER. WILLARD L. POWELL.

Established god continued for the advancement of the educational interests of Mahaska county. All persons interested iu education are invite to write lor this department. Address all communications to the editor. Deport of school in independent dis. trict of I'airview, Harrison township, for the term commencing Sept. Ist and ending Oct. 25, of the preseui year.

Mr, Editor; we wish tojsubmit a few comments on the above'showing, for the consideration of those whom it*may con cern, or others, and to begin, we do not think it very creditable to teaoherjor pa trons. No school can bo a success where the attendance is so meagre and irregu lar, and that this was not'a'success I can testify. A part of'the blatue’inost like ly, rests upon j my shoulders, and I would feel more like shouldering the chief re sponsibility it it were not that by refer ring to reports of three termsjmmediate ly preceding this 1 fiud that the com plaint of non attendanee andjtardiness has become chronic. For the term commencing about oue year ago there are reported 42 pupils enrolled, average attendance 21.3, and number hours tar dy 1-53; and for the term* commencing last April, number enrolled 43, average attendance 22.3; tardiness not recorded. Thus we see that the average attendance for the last three terms does not much exceed one half the enrollment; this is duo partly to attending at be ginning of term but nioreAo irregularity in attendance, many of the'pupils not averaging more than two or three days per week. As a consequence, little or no progress has been made by those who thus attend; yet parents wonder that their children make so little prog ress, and iu many eases are inclined to censure the teacher. Again, we find that most of the time lost by tardiness is lost by these who are irregular in at tendance; a few about half_the last term of two months lost over .700 minutes each by being late in the morning; now why is this? Ibe lieve that the chief blame rests with the parents. They mauifest an indifference in regard to their children’s progress that is anything but commendable. They de tain their ance of duties that might easily be dis pensed with or performed by some other, never thinking that the loss of an hour or two in the morning or a day or two in the week will hinder their progress or in jure the efficiency of the school. There are other things I wish to write hut for fear of tiring your patience and because this article is long enough, I will close. K. T. Lakin, Teacher. Muchachioook, lowa, Nov. 17. Ants at Their Toilets. The agricultural ant of America, writes the Rev. 11. C. McCook, in the “Proceedings of the Academy of Nat ural Science of Philadelphia,” is one of the neatest and tidiest of creatures in her personal habits. Out of the numbers be had imprisoned for ob servation, he never saw one remain long in an untidy state. When, after some very ac-tivo work in digging, little particles of earth would adhere to their bodies, these were at once most carefully removed. The whole body, too, is most thoroughly and frequently cleansed, a duty which is habitually attended to after eating and after sleep. In this duty these ants now’ and then assist ono another, and when a general “washing up” is in progress, it is an exceedingly inter esting sight. The ant to whom the friendly office is being administered (the cleansed she may be called) is leaning over upon one side as we begin the obser vation. The cleanser, as the other party mav be called, is in the act of lifting the foreleg, which is the first one licked, the cleanser’s mouth pass ing steadily from it up the body, then over the neck, then the head, the little jaws (mandibles) being at this stage held apart for the - more con venient manipulation; from the face tho operation passes to the body, along one side, each leg being attend ed to in succession; then to the other side, and the other set of legs. All this while the creature being cleansed is evincing the most intense satisfaction, and in this resembles a family dog when one is scratching tho back of bis neck; she rolls gently over on her sido, sometimes quite on her back, and presents alrogethcr a picture of ease. The pleasure which these creatures take in being thus “combed” and “sponged,” is really enjoyable to the observer. Several times an ant wanting to bo cleaned approaches a comrade, kneels down beforo it, and, thrusting forward its head, then drop down and lie there motionless, expressing as plainly as sign language could, her desire to be attended to. The ants, when engaged in cleansing their own bodies, have various modes of operations. The fore legs are drawn between the mandibles, and also apparently through the lips, and then are passed alternately to the back of tho head and over and down the forehead and face by a motion which closely re sembles that of a cat when cleansing with her paw the corresponding part of her head. The strokes are always made downward, following thus the direction of the hairs. Nothing can surpass the grotesque attitude which the ants assume whon in tho act of cleansing their bodies. Their hind legs arc thrown backward and well extended, tho middle pair standing neatly straight out, so that the body assumes almost an erect position; the tail is then turned under tho body and upward toward the head, which is at the same lime bent over and downward. The body thus forms a letter C. The fore feet now being in operation, during which they arc constantly putin the mouth, from which moisture U conveyed, thus giv ing a glossy appearance to tho body. It is possible that thoso ants do not devote so much time to their toilets whon in a state of nature; it is proha bio that, as with men, an artificial condition pf society gives an induce ment to a somewhat largor devotion to their personal appeaptnpo. “What, another daughter ?” said meekly to her nurse a lady on tho Isle of Wight, after giving birth to her seventh successive daughter. “Vos, ma’am,” replied servant, “and so it always will bo whiloyou’ro here. It’s the chalk as does it.” Tho lady went to live in Sussex, and there she gave birth to seven mote children-all sons. "Didn’t I tel! you so, ma’am,"said tho nurse, in triumph, “it’s tho gravel as docs it.” SHILOH’S CATARRH REMEDY. A marvellous Cure for Catarrh, Diptheria, Canker mouth, and Head Ache.

SAINT LOUIS- The 4■ lobe-1 lemocrat renews its claims to pop ular favor and patronage, with increased facili ties for gaining and retaining both, and with in creased determination to more than redeem its oft-made pledges to tilt the full measure of rea sonable expectation as a political, family and general newspaper. Politically tlie Globe-Democrat is recognized from one end of the country to the other as the unflinching champion ol that republicanism which came into power in time to save the un ion from destruction, and has since devoted alt its energies to the preservation intact of the fruits of the war forced upon us by the rebels of the south aided by tho democrats ol the north. Ve have opposed all forms of compro mise and conciliation that seemed to atm at a restoration to power in tills country of tin- men and the organization which involved us in tin horrors of civil war. The democratic party is now in the field for the next presidential elec tion with the doctrines of state rights and nul lification emblazoned upon its lianner it suc cessful it will most assuredly carry out it - prom ise to repeal all the legislation necessitated by the war and its results, and inaugurate a polio which will encourage ami assist another attempt at secession uml retielllon. This m what the boust ol the “solid south” means There I- but one antidote for a solid south and the untold evilswhich it threatens, and that is a soli.l north united in a linn purpose to keep the political power of the nation in the section w hich sent forth its loyal legions to crn-ii rebellion and le store the integrity of the union. Events ha\<- unmistakably pointed toGen. P. S. Grant as the inevitable candidate of tho republican party for this great contest. There are others as worthy as lie, but there scents to tie no inuu so certain to consolidate in his favor all the elements ot success, lienee, we have supported aLd urged It is nomination, keeping in view solely the wel fare of the republican party and the best a-sm - anee of its triumph in lSae. As a general newspaper for the counting-ioom, the family and tlie fireside, the Glolx—Democrat will keep abreast of the best publications ot the day. Our facilities for the collection ol news are unsurpassed cither ea>t or west. We spare no expense to obtain the latest and most aceurtae intelligence from all quarters bj mail and telegraph.
