Temperance Mass Meeting.

A temperance mass meeting was held at
the Baptist church last evening in the
presence of large audience, filling the
house. Prayer was offered by Rev. Ed
ward Mills, after which brief addresses
were made by Hon. John b. Page, Rev.
II. f. Austin, ]. G Johnson, f. w. Homer,
After which prayer was offered by NJ. j.
Perkins, and the singing of hymn.
Rev. f. Mills was the next speaker. He
thought justification was needed for a
meeting of this kind, which was for the
purpose of asking Gods blessing on the
temperance cause. AS in ancient days God
followed the children of Israel and defend
ed the right, so in these days He would
bless the cause; he thought that if in the
first we had been dependent too much up
on human help, we should not be in the
future, but should depend more upon Gods
aid, knowing that in the future the cause
would be triumphant.
He was followed in prayer by j. b.
Meeker, who prayed for Gods blessing up
on tnc CAUSE anu all VINO WtIt mig io'
its advancement, and that the prayers SEN
up IN behalf Of the movement might be eff
fectual.
Deacon James Barrett followed il
prayer.
Gov. Page said that yesterday in Boston
he met man Just from the west, and whit
had been in one of the principal towns il
which the ladies movement was in progress
and followed them from saloon to saloon
and listened to their prayers. People a
the east had no idea of the good work the.
were doing. 1t appeared more like a grca
religious revival, as many were turning t
God. He thought that our people wer
not fully aware of the great danger W
were in, and should labor to put all temptt
tions from us. He returned home on
night train not long ago, and in the depc
saw three young men whom he knew. The

went up by the side of drug store, and by
the light he saw one Of them take a bottle
from his pocket, he could not say as they
all drank, but il they were In sound of his
voice he would warn them of their great
danger. He narrated q little incident
which he read of in paper not long ago,
which was quite interesting.
John B. Reynolds thought the ladies
were doing a great work, were doing Gods
work. If those who are drinking and
those who are selling feel that the ladies
are praying for them, they will stop drink
ing and selling. lie hoped that every one
who had the advancement of the cause at
heart would aid it by their prayers and
work.
NJ. J. Perkins though, from the pub
lshed statistics that this was one of the
worst towns in the state. There were
many different opinions in relation TO
striking at this thing. Some thought the
drinker should be made TO suffer, others
that the manufacturer should be. lie be-
leved in striking the seller who brought on
all the misery, the curses, the sorrow, and
the pain. He must be struck by the strong
arm of the law as they could not be per-
suaded to stop selling.
He did not dare to have his own blessed
bog stay in Rutland and so sent him away
from. We must make the sale of liquors
improbable by drawing around us the
strong arm of the law, and If the law was
not strong enough he was in favor OF put
ting the ballot in the hands of the women
who would make it stronger.
J. b. Reynolds suggested that a few
moments be spent in silent prayer.
Mr. Mills thought it would be for the in
terests of the cause to have these meetings
continued in some of the churches of the
village, on Sunday or some week day.
After spending few moments in silent
prayer. at the suggestion Of j. b. Rey-
nolds, the hymn ".Iust as | am without
one plea was sung, the bencdiction was
pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Mills and the au-
dicncc dispersed.

A COMPROMISE rISANcIAL MEASURE.


WASHINGTON. March %
The Senate Committe on Finance held a
special meeting yesterday at which "A com
promise on the financial measure was
agreed upon to be reported TO the Senate
Monday. In its main features the bill will
fix the amount of greenback circulation at
three hundred and eighty-two million dol
lars, thus lcgalzing the reissue of that por-
ton of forty-four million legal tender re-
serve which is now outstanding, and E.ak-
ing it part of permanent circulation. The
bill will also authorize free banking on ma
tional banking sstcm, but will contain a
requirement that legal tender notes shall
be retired from circulation proportionatcly
as national bank notes are issued.
This latter provision is regarded as a
measure of contraction, but preceding
authorization for keeping in circulation
twenty-six millions Of legal tenders that
have been re-issued from the reserve, is
considered a substantial victory for the adj.
voca,es of an increased volume of cur
rency, who it is understood will claim in
the Senate that the principle having beer
thus admitted as regards that portion o
the forty-four millions reserve, the whole
of said reserve should be accordingly
placed in circulation.
