Editor Daily Journal. Will you kindly publish the iollowing statement made by the Evangelist, Moody, on Friday of last week: Mr. Sankey accompanied me all through. We started in Tennessee and went all through Louisiana, Texas and Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, "Florida and Virginia, The south, I tell you, is coming up religion is getting hold on the people as never before. But the greatest advance is in the line of temperance reform.

Perfectly astonishing how the temperance movement is going forward in the south receiving the support of all classes and parties. And, very properly, it has nothing to do with politics there that is" how it should be in the north also. "The improvement in the social condition of tbe colored people is most marked. No less than 20,000 I am told, now bold their own farms in Virginia. Both socially and intellectually the race is rapidly gaining ground all over the south.

Fully one million of the colored people are now able to read and write that's about one-sev enth of tbe whole. You may just say that in my opinion this year is the best the churches have ever seen in America and I've traveled most of it from Montreal to Texas. There is much less infidelity thst tide is receding, thank God and a great and growing desire for Gospel truth." Now I do not desire to be charged with irreverence, but I protest against Mr. Moody nsing the weight of his Influence against the third party movement in this manner. It is all wrong! 8am Jouea and Sam Small were equally emphatle against trying to build up a political party on the prohibition Idea alone.

And that ia all wioug too! What do they know about it They ought to corns to Racins and learn something! Let them corns to ths Bella City sod stttdy our methods, and then they will find which la tha best way to fight ths rum power. It ia astonishing how ths temperance movement Is going forward In the south with ths support of all parties. It is simply miraculous what strides ths temperance movement is making in Wis cousin, with the support of one little party, which assumes the whole responsibility. Prohibitionist. MsaaUrir.

At 2:45 yesterday afternoon fire broke it in a wood-shed, in the rear of J. W. Yan Yliets, residence No. 921 State street. An alarm was sounded from box 27, and in a few minutes four fire steamers, four thousand people and a goodly number dogs were rushing to the scene of the con flagration.

The fire company did good service and saved the house from destruc tion. One hundred dollars will cover the damage. Fully insured. The fire originated in a box of shavings, but how is un known. During tha working of the steam er tbe boas burst, causing a general stam ped.

SUver has been the faithful and efficient superintendent of the Sunday school, and nnder his charge the school has gradually grown and pros pered, and be has endeared himself to all or the attendants. The gentleman is about to take np a permanent residence with his family in Chicago, where he is engaged in bnsiness. The members of the school deemed it a fitting occasion to testi fy their kindly feeling toward the gen tleman. Mr. Geo.

S. Skewes took the floor and in a few well chosen words presented the retiring superintendent with an ele gantly bound bible on behalf of the school. Mr. Staver was very much affect ed, but succeeded in returning his thanks in bis usual graceful and happy manner, the loss sustained by the community in the removal of Mr. and Mrs.

Staver irom our midst is one of no small moment, as their influence, both in social and religious circles, has been of a marked character. i- ii ii mm Oratory Society.

This farmer stated to th reporter that be had a Danlshoan in his employ named Hinson, who aerved a term in tha county JaII at tha time Chrlatlaneon was coolned therein. Ilanaoa states that Chrlatiaosoa remarked to him one time that Bchnlta used to chase him away from the meat market every time he went near there, but that he had got even with him aa ha laid for the old "cues" one night with a club nod knocked him out.

Saturday afternoon tbe lad was arraigned before a justice who sent him to the reform school ont'l of age.

Triable Tareateaed This morning a Jocrxax reporter stroll ed down about the docks and found that everything was not harmonioua among the coal heavers, and one of them said, "Unless all of the old coal heavers are taken bvck there will be a strike."

Topics Discussed in Congress. Washington, D. May The President has voted tbe bill to make Omaha a port of entry, and tbe "Grave bill. He will, if be continues, prove the greatest vetoer we have ever bad in the presidential chair. The eight hour boom baa struck Wash ington, and everything is in a state of doubtfulness.

Tbe labor agitation is cre ating fear and trembling among the high and the low, and there is no telling what a day may bring forth. All are hoping for the beat. is tbe new name for but ter imitations, and there is no donbt that its manufacturers will have an uphill time of it alter congress gets through -with it. The river and harbor bill drags its way in the House, but the Hennepin Canal bill seems to have no chance of adoption this session. Senator Jones, of Florida, it is aaid, will soon return from Detroit and take his seat.

It is believed that he is satisfied with the result of bis wooing. The Republicans are satisfied with their contest with the president, and having un masked his hypocritical pretensions te civil service reform will proceed to confirm all his reputable nominations. R. S. Illinois, is in hard luck, and after all will not be confirmed aa Sur veyor-General of Utah.

There was a spirited debate in the sen ate on Wednesday on tbe question of the carrying of mails by American built ships. The third annual meeting of the Ameri can Historical Society was held in this city last week, the first session occurring on the 27th ult. The president, Hon.Geo. Bancroft, delivered an able address of wel come, interesting papers were real, and instructive addresses were, delivered by prominent authors and others. The discussion of the Morrison tariff bill in the house promises to occupy four or five weeks.

It is likely that not less than fifty statesmen will desire to air their views on the subject. The senate was building bridges more or less all the week. It is remarkable what a demand there is for authority to erect bridges over western rivers. There is not a little feeling among Re publicans over tbe reception accorded to Jeff Davis at Montgomery, on Wed nesday last. It ia a feeling of uneasiness coupled with regret that such bitterness still remains in tbe hearts ot the southern people.

The Democrats do not havo much to say that ia, the northern Democrats. Among the Confederate brigadiers there is exultation. Democrats cannot complain it union-loving men cry out aga.lt st such demonstrations in favor of the one unrepentant rebel, who la more responsible than any other man for the blood and treasure, sacrificed tor the preservation of this gov' eminent. The war la not over when, while oyal patriots are celebrating the anniver sary or the birth of the man who battered down the walls of the southern confederacy, the former followers ot ths stare and bars are rallying around the greatest trait or in modern times. So, let the "bloody shirt" cnutiuue to wave.

The question of the redemption of the trade dollar will no doubt be disposed of at this session. Mr. Laubam, of Texas, intro duced a bill on Thursday which ia likely to meet with a favorable reception. It is to the effect that trade dollars shall be received for all. dues to tbe United States tor six months after the adoption of the bill, and that tbey shall not again be issued but shall be recoined.

It also provides that Assistant Treasurers of the United States for the same length of time, shall pay ont standard silver dollars, dollar for, dollar, when presented. Wffo. Klght Hear Questioa. It seems to have been a general impres sion that the eight hour movement of May 1st, was of recent origin; this is not so. As far back as 1874 the labor congress adopt ed a resolution that a general demand for eight hours a day should be made on tbe first day of May 1886.

In this city much apprehension was felt as to what would be tbe course pursued by the workmen here. But the time is not at band, and the working people of this city are too intelligent to seek to prematurely force a measure that would only result in disaster to our industrial interests. Tbe demand for ten hours pay for eight hours labor, is also something that was not originally diseuwed, and which should be left to be regulated by the law of supply and demand. Work in the various shops will go on just as usual to-day, and until employer and employed are ready for the change. Riot, bloodshed, and a geneial upheaval of butiueaa wai predicted, but the day passed without auf disturbance, and a breath of relief went up all over tbe land.

Nothing is to be aceampllahed. by undue baate and unjust demands, Tbe busloeaa of the country mut I allowed to go on without interruption. The fever of unreal that now permeate some ol the working olasees will bum itself away, and the cooler, calmer Judgment of thomi who have the true welfare ot alt at heart, will prevail. Xe Perlnhable freight. Agent Uichard Trlst, of the Northwest ern road In this city, has received orders to handle no pertshaole freight, until the present labor troubles are quieted down and freight trains running with tbe usual regularity.
