certain women in the State Of Minnesota
Mr.. J. P.SsWest raised a point of order, that
the amendment was unconstitutional. 1t was
SO ruled.
i Mr.. Bertrand then moved to strike out the
enacting clause.
Mr.. Hicks hoped there would be fair con.
sideration of the matter. He hardly thought

,e~-r DIR. RnEY's SPEECH.
Mr.. Riley spoke at length. BE would op-
pose the bill. He believed it to be one Of the
most damnable things ever forced down the
throats of a law-abiding people. He was op-
posed to it in it's every section, from first to
last, on conscientious principles. He is ply
stefan, and knew whereof he spoke. In the
first place, it would have the effect of killing
a legitimate and honorable industry. In the
district where he resided there were large
number of Germans who had come from the
old country and planted grapes, and now there
were magnificent vineyards stretching all
along the hillsides, where formerly there was
not grass enough to feed sheep. They raised
large quantities ofvery fine grapes, which they
shipped every year to Chicago, New York and
all over the country. They make very fine
wine, too, and he loved to drink it, because he
thought it did him good. Lnughter.) He
didn't propose to mince his words. That
wasn't the sort Of man he was. Naughter.)
of his constituents. 1t was like that proposed
in New England several years ago when it was
proposed to cut down the apple trees because
some tramps went around begging hard cider
for inebriating purposes. Such law would
destroy 250,OOO trees in the State Of Mime
sofa.
1.-THE first legitimate information 1 have"
proceeded the speaker, ''of the manufacture of
wine, il when Jesus Christ made it. He set it
before his disciples and commanded them to
drink. Let us follow his example and it will
do us good. Give strong drink to him that
is ready to perish, and wine to those that be of
heavy hearts, Laughter.)
Referring to the vital statistics of the State,
find that but six men died of intemperance
during last year-two of delirum tremens and
four of something else which they couldn't tell
anything about and so called it intemperance.
And yet you want to stop drinking. Eleven
were killed by horses during the same time.
Why don't you abolish horses-never use them
or go near them? Thirty-five committed sui
eide. Why don't you prohibit the use of fire
arms, knives and ropes, and drain all your lakes
and rivers for fear some poor fool will drown
himself? Some 152 died of heart disease. I
don It wantany heart in mine. Twenty ladies
were scalded to death. You ought to prohibit
the use of hot water for fear that more ladies
will get into it and perish. Laughter.l
Mr.. Denny moved to strike out sections IL,
%, 25 and q. Lost.
l., motion to indefinitely postpone the bill
! was made and carried. 1t was moved to recon-
slider, and the vote to reconsider was indefinite
ly postponed.
