TEMPERANCE WORKERS.
ADDRESS OF JUDGE NOAH DAVIS BEFORE THE
woMENs UNION.

ADDRESS OF JUDGE NOAH DAVIS BEFORE THE
woMEN's UNION.
large meeting OF the women's Christian Tenn
perance Union held last night at the headq uar-
tors. No. $50 Seventh avenue In numbers tho ladies'
inconsidcrable force. William F.. Dodge presided The
proceedings were opened with prayer by Rev. Mr
Post scriptura reading ,oliowed, and next by mn.
The Chief attraction OF tho evening was the
address OF Judge Noah Davis, Of tho Supreme
Court The Judge was introduced by Mr. Dodge. He
began by compmen,ing the ladies' Of the union on
me earnestness when they exhibited IN tho great
work before them. For himself he was but novice
In temperance matters, but he appreciated tho I'M
portance atiaSRed to the undertaking on which the
union had entvfcd. The evils OF intemperance and
It's widespread effects Oh the community were ably
dwelt on by me speaker. To ntemperauce was duo
ia the work OF retaining tho fallen had
always been productive OF beneficial results.
Chief among tue objects OF the union should be tho
effort 10 bring into play the statute giving damages 10
the families Impoverished through the selling OF
liquor TO husbands and fathers Tue work was not
midablc as might be supposed. True wives
disnclned to expose tho tangs Of their husbands In
court VI law. They oenlimes preferred abuse and
starvation iron their drunken partners But this
duo to their standing of the provisions
of the statute. IL was not the husband who
was punished. cit was tho grogseler who sod
HIM the liquor. The women OF the union should
ferret out such cases, and whom unfortunate wives
were made TO understand tnor rights there would be
nearly corporation on tHclr part. inc courts were
always Willing enforce tue law and the speakers
experience judge had been that jurics wcrc ever
reauy 10 give exemplary damages where rum
selers had persisted In selling 10 fallen
mon. Even the average liquor dealer con-
demned the sale OF liquor TO drunkards Thus
II appears that the work OF The union will find aid In
the ranks OF those who are not temperance people.
The Excise law at present exsts IN every respect
good one, and II II were properly enforced II would
be as good law We could expect al THIS remove
from the milicnniuhn.
In conclusion the speaker urged that the union
prosecute It's work with v.gor and enrnesiness The
Judges remarks were received with loud applause.

The Situation.

The situation in regard to yellow
fever is indeed appalling; so much 90
that every heart is faint, every head
bowed and every house in the land
almost is o house Of mourning. The
pestiIence is still raging 10 a1I of its
fury. v bile the people stand in awe
in the presence Of death. The tele-
graphic dispatches ere q continued
series Of CHASTITY Dostusry reports:
The hand Of God seems to lie beat:
lily upon the people. MAY It be the
means Of humbling them and bringing
them to recognize His power and their
dependence, upon Hin: p !.
We wish we could give our readers
more cheerful news; that we could
SEQ . rih,in the dark cloud of death
that lowers over our devoted land, or
point them to q faint CLEAN of hope Of
the dawn of better day; of return
ing health; but VIC cannot just now.
It is long time till frost, and we can.
not hope for the disappearance Of the
fever until then, without Q miraculous
interpceition of divine Providence.
But all things arc possible with God !;
and we should remember that We are
10 His hands and that He will direct
everything for the best. Let Us bear
ourselves % men during the ordeal
sud not suffer ourselves to become
unduly excited.

The campaign, so far as the Demo.
cratic party is concerned, has opened,
and our State and District tickets are
made up; and we can congratulate the
people on the selection of the candl.
dates they are called Upon to support.
They are all good and true men, who
will no doubt discharge the duties of
the positions with ability and faith.
fulness and reflect credit upon their
constituents if elected. They are ali
