the argument, but he could not possibly take
hold OF it. Mr.. Reed saw Mr.. r. T. Merrick

argument himself; that he did not need any

TEMPERAs cE .MEETING.

The fourth OF the temperance meetings
was held at the Sixth-street NJ. E. Church
last evening. Geo. B. Kaizanssein presided
and congratulated the large audience CD the
increased interest manifested. Rev. lIr.
Becker offered prayer and Mrs. Emily
Pitts,Stevens made the first speech. She
said women were properly in the temperance
work Her work will never be completed
until the social glass is banished from society.
The greatest evil that menaces the homes of
the nation is intemperence. Women should
hold themselves responsible for it because
they can and should stop it. She told
an affecting story from real life illustrative of
the influence of the moderate drinker upon
the youths of the land. She could ros ex-
cuse or except beer-drinkinp, and held total
abstinence to be the only true rule. She de-
Tended the Order of Good Templars as Sc
cret society, and pointed out the necessity Of
having one door barred so that liquor. infu.
ence cannot pass it. She urged the men to
be courageous, and dare to do right in the
present conflict. She believed the day to be
not far distant when saloons will be closed
not on Sunday alone, but On all days.
Colonel Long was then introduced and
thanked God that no saloon influence could
touch him. He believed that so long as he
roism has an admirer. SO long will the fight
against the liquor traffic be continued
He had no personal feeling against any
saloon keeper in partieular-he battled
against them all. His remedy fer intemper-
ance as promoted by saloons was to apply the
law, and under it hold every man responsible
for the acts of the men who commit crime
when moved by inebriety. The people have
the right to make laws to prohibit any bust
ness detrimental to the interests of the peo-
pie. Intemperance had increased, but the
temperance cause had made greater advances
in the last twelve months than in 62 years
before. Eventually the whole question will
be settled at the ballot-box. When the liquor
interest feels the force of the law, drunken
ness will decrease. 1t will be hard contest,
but the right must prevail in the end. He
believed in constant agitation on the subject
in order to hasten The desired end. During
the evening the audience was led in several
spirited songs. This evening another meet.
ing will be held at the same place at o'clock.
