Baxgor, January 27. The snpreme
court justices to-day set forth their rea
sons in answer to ttie f usjiouista' ques
tions lor declining to recognize the
fusiouidt legislature. They kay, while
not admitting, even by implication,
that any legally urgauizeU-liody Lui
submitted those questions, yet tbey
w ould be lacking iu duty if they should
fail to give reasons which may guide
citizeus in pursuing their duty. As
the supreme court must eventually, in
all case like the present, pass upon
the laws which si-called or actual leg
islative boiliss pass it is praper that
tribunal should consider at once, with
or without the question, which is the
one and only legislature of the two
claimants. The court says a large por
tion of this question has been decided
in its answers to Governor ' Gareelou's
questions. By these answers it appear
ed that Governor Garceloli and coun
cil in issuing certificates of election to
certain men as senators and represen
tatives who did not appear to be elect
ed and declining to issue to certain
ether who did appear to be elected,
were in violation of their legal and
constitutional obligations and duties.
They cannot ignore the fact that Gar
celon disregarded the opinion of the
court given iu answer to his questions,
omitted to revoke summonses illegally
issued to men not elected nor did he
issue summonses to men who were
elected. Otlicers who presided in the
fusion branches of the legislature re
cognized men as members who were
unlawfully introduced into them by
unconstitutional means, and refused to
recognize certain ones who were law
fully elected. It cannot be claimed
that the fusion house ever had a quo
rum without counting men whom this
court has declared not elected, and
therefore, they cannot recognize the
fusion house as a legal body The
same is true of the senate. They then
consider whether there is in existence

Last week we alluded to a growing
public sentiment in favor of excluding
the wine-cup from refreshment tables
on New Year's day. A few paragraphs
have since come under our notice,
which we cannot forbear "clipping," as
we consider the subject a very import
ant one.
The Chicage Times says: There was
a marked absence ef wine from the re
freshment tables on New Year's day,
and a very marked limitation ef the
number of young men who appeared
in the evening to be the worse for the
wear of the day. No observing peraon
can deny that the contiuuous efforts of
the Temperance women have had their
effect, and that it is now becoming un
fashionable, or at least a violation of
good taste to proffer wine to New
Year's callers.
The following i3 from Our Union.
A most noteworthy and significant
"straw" of the times was an "inter
viewing" of St: Louis ladies previous
to New Year's, by the reporters of the
Poet-Dispatch, to ascertain the proba
bilities of wine being used on New
Year's. There was almost entire un
animity among the ladies on this ques
tion, and the opinions of fourteen lead
ers of society are given iu full. It is
of no small significance that a daily
paper should take such trouble, and
give such space on this subject. These
fourteen "opinions" for the time are
stronger than fourteen sermons. Th.o
editor says: "It would seem, from the
decided utterances f the loveliest lips
in the world, that upon the palace walls
of King Bacchus the jeweled finger of
fashion had written, 'Jfene, mene, te
kel upharsin' "
This from the N. Y. correspondent
of the Central Church Advocate:
New Year's day was as beautiful as
could be wished, and the pleasant cus
tom of New Year's calls was very
largely observed. Last year we wrote
you of the drunkenness which prevail
ed, and which was perfectly astound
ing. We were out ths yoar nearly all
the afternoon and evening titl Lite,
and did not see but one drunken man,
and lie was a foreigner, low down in
the social scale. Let us not be misun
derstood. The milleuinm has not yet
come, and we dare say that we could
have found plenty had we searched for
them in certain localities, as, for that
matter, you can do on any night toward
the small hours. But it did not ob
trude itself u the braad thoroughfare
nor fill the station house as it did hist
3'ear. Beyond question this was the
result of a healthy public sentiment
in banishing wine and spirits from ths
tables on that day. For this the secu
lar press is largely to be commended.
The very best article we have ever
seen on the subject, in a secular paper,
was iH the Broyklyn Eagle, and anoth
er nearly as good in the New York
Herald. Neither of these journals are
remarkable for their piety, but the
blows they struck in this direction hal
a m3t excellent effect.
We give an epitome of the editorial
"Outlook" in Our Union ef Jan. 15, re
garding the prospect of prohibitory le
gislation in several of the States.
Massachusetts is crganiziag for earn
est w. rk before the Legislature fur
Home Protection. Connecticut has a
great force of strong men in the field,
whose powerful blows and earnest
eloquence tell fer prohibition. In
New York the various organizations
have united on petition to the legisla
ture for constitutional amendment pro
hibiting the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating drinks. This will be cir
culated and presented to-the assem bly
In New Jersey, where, the battle has
been s strong between Sabbath and
religion and no Sabbath and beer, the
contest is onlv begun. The State Tem
perance alliance has declared for Local
Option and petitions are being circu
lated for this. In Pennsylvania a
large Temperance Convention has re
cently assembled, declaring for prohi
bition. In Michigan the various or
ganizations are united aud pressing the
battle to the gates for prohibition.
Iowa is busily engaged getting signa
tures to a Home Protection petition.
Missouri is striding to prohibition with
sure and steady step. Prohibition is
the rallying cry of Kansas. Ohio has
never been so stirred for temperance
as now. The crusade fires have blazed
out afresh. The Ohio W. C. T. U. is
thoroughly committed for Total Prohi
bition, but joins hands in the effort for
Local Prohibition. The people are in
earnest for the highest form of Local
Option law intensely so in every sec
tion of the state except perhaps two
or three cities. The largest and most
influential Temperance convention ev
er held in the state assembled at Co
lumbus. Jan. 1, 1880. A Stat3 Tem
perance Alliance was formed, and the
campaign has begun 'in the state in
which was cradled the Gospel Tem

and the thorough reliance on Him who
