CONGRESSIONAL TEMPERANCE.

Another Anniversary-Rep

The Venerable Society Celebrates
Another Annivorsary-Re
tives Not All Druni,ards.
"Thc Ancient and Honorable Congress
slonol Temperance Society,"" which has
lived So years, celebrated that anniversary
yesterday afternoon at the Luther Me.
mortal Church. There was large attend
anCe, including a sprinlling of congress
men. Rev. DIR. Butler welcomed the So
cicty to his church and wished It long
existence, and Assistant Commissioner OF
Patents Vance, who is the vice president
Of the society, made an address. He be-
lieved In prohibition, and thought that the
only way TO put down the monster which
was running men and their homes was by
law.
DIR. Chickerng, the venerable secretary
Of the association, then read his report.
Between thirty and forty members Of the
present Congress were members Of the
society. The society, like other legis
lativc temperance associations, was de-
signed not merely "to promote wise and
much needed legislation against the legal
lied temptation to the vice Of intemper-
ance,n but Ito concentrate and send forth
from influential centers the more than
electric light of example,"
A letter from Representative Price was
read, in which lie regretted his absence, but
Endorsed the purpose Of the society.
Representative johnson, of New York,
was led TO believe that Congress was an
Incorporate and an immoral body, but he
had been agreeably surprised to find that
this was not so. He thought that congress
men were slandered, not in this city, where
they were known, but in the country at
large. While he would not say that ma.
iority Of the members were temperance
men, he believed that they were temperate
and moral men, and excessive intempcrance
was rare In the halls Of Congress.
Representative Henderson, who followed,
believed that the proper way to fight the
question Of intcmperance was to begin In
homes. Mothers and fathers were as much
responsible for the bad effects Of the
whisky traffic as saloon keepers. AS much
attention should be paid to the people who
patronize the liquor dealers as to the
liquor dealers.
Represcntye James, of Brooklyn, thought
that while 1t was a good thing to represent
the largest and most powerful state in the
country It was to be regretted that 1t was
not the most temperate.
Hon. Hiram Price, cX.commissiOner of
Indian affairs, also addressed the society.
