opened in subordinate degree
The Grand w. G. Templar then read his
report. He reported 81 new lodges Instituted,
and some 600 temperance lectures during the
year. Also large number Of volunteer lee
lures have been given. Thinks we should and
may have at least one temperance lecture in
each town in the State during the coming year.
Recommends the children organizations-the
Cold Water TIE 3 plars-one of which is in sue
cessful operation in our city. Would have the

these organizations. Our cause is placed in
the hands of adicalism-cOnservatism means
lukewarmness and failure. The money has
been given and tho work done by radicals in
the temperance cause; the bulwalk of the rum
power to-day is conservatism; there is nohope
for temperance legislation Dy conservative par
ties. Rumsellers and drunkenness are on the
increase in our villages and cities. His report
occupied about fifteen minutes in reading, and
was sharp, cutting and radical 1t will be pub
