MR.. MUNDELLA, M. P, at recent meeting
OF the Social Science Congress, in England,
bore witness to the operation of the Prohibitorv
liquor Law in New England, as follows: He
had visited Massachusetts and several of the
New England States, and he was sure thew
would give him credit, whether it suited their
argument or not, for speaking the truth about
what he had seen. He stated frankly that he
should be very sorry to see the want of respect
for law which he saw in the New England
States, and Massachusetts especially; and if
be were asked whether the prohibitory law
was doing good or not, he would answer.
" Yea, great deal Of good, and there is great
deal less drinking than in any other district of
the same extent and the same population"
But If they asked him if the law was kept, he
was sorry to have to reply that it was system
atically broken both by senar ors and the other
leaders of public opinion. lie had taken wine
with the most honored names nsAmerica at
the largest hotel in Boston; and when he ex.
pressed his surprise that it should be produced
where it was prohibited, he was told that ri,
did not matter, the drink was there" He
asked if they could get spirits in the same
way; and he was taken down to the bar of the
hotel, where he found the students from the
University drinking as much whiskey as they
had mind to pay for Mr.. Wendell Phillips,
one OF the most noble men in America, admit
ted to him that the law was most scandalously
broken in this respect. 1t was not only in
towns that they found the law broken, but in
nearly every village drink could be got
