Last Nights Session.
The closing session OF the Woman's Ma
tional Christian Temperance Union, to.
night, lost none of its interest. A vast
amount Of business was transacted with
ability and dispatch. Among the resolu-
tions and that which was expected to bring
on discussion, was as follows: We rejoice
in the advance made along the line OF
constitutional prohibition during the past
wear; we hail the successes in Kansas and
Iowa, and the activity in other States for
securing prohibition by this method as
harbingers of the swiftly coming time
when with a majority OF the States fixed
upon the foundation of constitutional law
prohibitng the liquor traffic they shall be
able to engraft this principle upon
the National Constitution; we rejoice
in the day that gives recog.
milton TO our prohibition principles
by political partisans, and we will endeavor
TO influence the best men in all communi
ties to commit themselves to that party, by
whatever name called, that shall give to
them the best embodiment of prohibition
principles, and will most surely protect
our homes. The report of the Publishing
Committee offered plan for the consolda-
ton OF our Union. Adjourned sine die.
