was g'ad to turn and find So many present
anu especially so many young men. There
WAS similarity between the old African
slavery question and the present LIQUOR
gu stisn considered in national point of
view. History ever r. peats Itself. Avarice
| and the love of gain had been at the bottom
oi savtry, ana the same could be said OF tue
liquor qGystion. The same arguments were
presented in botA cas- y by the adhsrents of
wrong and corruption, and the same foul
methods were USE. 10 perp tuate them.

Men differed on great national questions,
and some; mes may be Sly mistaken as

to whether it be a national question or
merely 10 be handed by the states individu-

crate discussion OF the riga OF property in

WEST END CLUB.
The West End Reform club meeting held
in Chestnut hail yesterday was opened by
Rev. Dr. Murch by reading the first Psalm
and prayer. The choir also sang two fine Sc
lectiOns.
DR.. Lyman w. Denton then read paper
given elsewhere on the subject of Rights
Following the doctor Mrs. A. ". Tying gave
| a very interesting talk on the subject of
| "Home Protection" She believed every
woman had right to project her home
and the precious children God hal given her
from the curse OF strong drink. The speaker
| had once heard a young man speak of his
first vote and confessed that il had been
given for prohibition, this she commended
and hoped hundreds of young men might be
| induced to cast their first ballot for prohibi-
ton this fall. She had gone 10 hear the great
national singer, Phillip Phillips last evening,
and after being delegated with his mastery
efforts for good in singing, was sadly disap-
pointed at the close of the en-
teriainmcnt. The last pictures pre-
scented were those Of Blaine and
/ Logan. Tl.is was shocking to her. The re-
! gious standing of either was unknown to
htr, but everybody she thought ought TO
know of st. John and Daniels SIS nigh
minded Christian and prohibition gentlemen.
Therefore s It argued That Phillips ought to
/ have shown their pictures
