THE COURIER. II National Good Citizens' Convention to be Held at Nashviiie, Tenn., Ju y 11-13, 1898. The second annual convention of the National Good Citizens' League will be held at Nashville. Tenn., July 11-13. 1898. The time has come in the history of our country when all good citizens should unite to iescue the municipality, the state, and the nation from present evils and .impending disaster and ruin. The foes from within are far more dan gerous than the foes from without, and, while there are some good men in office, every department of our life whether economic, industrial, social, or religious has felt the blighting influences, the evil effects of unwise and unrighteous eivil government incompetency and demagogiem on one hand, infidelity and corruption on the otb6r. Too many men have devoted all their time to their business and left politics to those who make politics a trade. The result is political conditions that make any business venture risky and hard time universal. If the real business men of the nation would realize the ne ce:sity of taking an intelligent part in politics, the result would be better men in office, better laws mora rigidly en forced, wiser policies, lees pauperism, less crime and immorality of every kind, and more righteousness, prosperity and happiness all over the land. Private duties ond public duties run in parallel lines he that sins against the one does injury to himself he that falters in the other does injury to the common welfare. The caucus and the primary should be made the pivot of reform, and here is where every lojal citizen should take an active and intelligent part in politics the politics which Noah Webster ds- fines as "the science of government; U0"M.B IWJWJ w"n ."""

Public opinion is ripe for aggressive action, and with the objects of the League properly carried out, reform all along these lines can be speedily im planted on the thought of the nation as the most important issue before the American people to-day. Tbere is need of action, not bo much to prove the self-evident facts of exist ing evils as to larouse the religious and patriotic conscience of the people, so that the individual will feel it a part of his dut to assist in the eradication of existing evils in every way possible, and especially in the selection for public office of "able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain." ThuB reform can be had inside of party lines by organizing local leagues, one for each political party, at all voting pre cincts. me national Uood Uitizens' .League, being non-sectarian and non-partisan iu character, cordially invites patriotic citi zens of all creeds and of all political parties to attend the Nashville conven tion July 11-13, and join hearts and hands in this great movement so full of hope for humanity.
