small audience attended the meeting Of
the Law and Order League In the church Of
the Messiah last evening.
At the conclusion of a suitable Introductory
service, the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Crosley, said
that he wss aware that to most people little
that is new can be said upon the subject of
prohibition, bat he hoped that the speakers
present might be able to add something to the
knowledge OF the subject. The speaker then
discussed the element of law. Law ia the
method taken by the strong to protect the
weak, and will naturally bear hard upon the
lower classes Of the people. The speaker add
ed that the question now was the enforcement
OF law at present existing, and observed that
in this respect European countries excel us,
strictly enforcing the law which they have
Mr.. Crosley closed with some pointed sentences
upon the need of moral education.
Gen. Neal Dow was then introduced and
gave some attention to the prevailing belief
that prohibitionists neglect to teach the physi-
illogical effects OF strong drink. He said that
at no time in the history OF temperance egis-
lation has such knowledge been SO widely
diffused or so diligently inculcated as now. The
General was glad to see so many young people
in the audience, and asked them to make
comparison between teetotalers and those not
teetotalers, and although many great and good

drink are, as rule, better citizens than those
who do. The rights of the citizens cease to
exist when the rights Of society SO require, and
thus prohibition does not violate a principle of
fundamental law as is claimed by some.
Mrs. 81. M. Humphrey referred to the teach
ing OF prohibition as a part of religious in.
struction, and mentioned the work of churches
in the struggle. The speaker said that the
success OF every reform was dependent upon
an aroused public sentiment, aud the Woman's 8
Christian Temperance Union made this fun
damental principle of their work. The suffer-
ing resulting from the use of strong drink was
mentioned.
Rev. DR.. Bsshford was introduced, and lik-
ened the fight for prohibition to the anti
slavery struggle. He spoke of the cost of the
liquor consumed in this country, making COM
parisoRs with the national debt incurred in the
rebellion.
The meeting was dismissed with the bene-
diction by DIR. Bashford.

Vote BUYERS Beware,

There was secret conference OF Democratic
magnates at the Preble House, yesterday,
which undoubtedly had for its object the de-
vising of ways and means for the election of
John W. Dsering. The story was current on
the street that a considerable sum of money
had been received from Boston liquor dealers,
and that one of the questions considered at Its
conference was the placing of it where it
would do the most good. There is no doubt
that something has braced Dsering's following
up amazingly within the past day or two, and
there is strong reason to suspect that that
something is the knocking in of the head of a
barrel. There was very suspicious amount of
iollity, based on alcohol in the slums last eve
ming. The men who are meditating bribery
had better beware. The Republicans have
made such arrangements that unless they
desiet some of them will be landed in the peni-
tsntiary.

he who offered a resolution in the Board Of Al

have great regard for prohibition, but every

Rose claimed that he got cheated and -apleyied the

not double the value of the property as required by
