WEST HAVEN.
Pastor y. ogden Kern Before the Pros
 hfbftiOn Club.

hfbft1On Club.
 Rev. J. Ogden Kern, president of the West Haven Prohibition club, said at the meeting of the Prohibition club of this city Monday evening that at the time of the last pres idential election he was pastor of church in New York. He was originally a Democrat, but had joined the Republican party when the flag of the Union was fired upon at Sum ter. When St. John was nominated he felt that the time had come to leave that party and join the new party which stood for the prohibition principle, as years before he had joined the Republican party when that stood for the nation and for humanity. He felt that the good old party was retrograding and he could not retrograde with it, and in spite of some opposition from his people he voted the Prohibition ticket.
 There is an army of men two hundred thousand strong who are engaged in busi- ness which is not only injurious to the com munity, but is destructive to themselves. As Christians, as philanthropists, patriots, we wish to help these men out of this business, which is running themselves and their fami- lies and bringing upon them the curse pro- nounced upon those who put the bottle to their neighbours lips.
 There is an army numbered by millions who are detrimentally affected by this busi- ness which we are trying to prohibit, ,-the moderate drinkers, the hard drinkers, the drunkards. The cyclone is not confined to the West. The cyclone of strong drink is sweeping on day and night throughout the lard (except in those peaceable spots where they have local prohiDition), bringing misery and destruction to men and women of every class. This business brutalizes men. The slavery question was great questionable problem of freeing the land fir the brutal izing effect of chattel slavery; but the problem of freeing our land from a slavery which binds in its chains the black and white, the rich and poor, and brutilizes and degrades them is 8 question of greater moment. It is question which must be settled by votes. It is more and more evident that the see the land emancipated from this bondage. We believe it is possible that our Prohibition party shall poll million votes in 1888. When New Jersey can hold 8 Prohibition convention with nearly six hun dred delegates present and make their nomi- nations with such enthusiasm, and when 8 prominent Mississippi official, a Bourbon ot the Bourbons, say in a public meeting that if the Democratic party tries to ram 8 liquor plank down his throat he is no longer Democrat, there is reason to take courage and press on hopefully.
 w, as men who love our country and l want her to shine out among the nations of the earth, cannot afford to compromise or such vital question as this; and must labor and pray that the time may speedily come when no drunken people shall reel through our streets, when no man among us shall offer the intoxicating cup to his neigh bor. May the Lord bless and help us in this great work.
