Prohibitionist, John Danner, of Can
ton, held discussion Wednesday even
ing in Yengling'S Opera House with
Messrs. w. Unger and b. Greenwood
of this place, on the question of the ne
cessity of new national party for the
ultimate prohibition of the liquor traf.
fic. Rev. Maxwell, of the Christian
Church, was called to preside over the
meeting. The audience was asked to
sing a few stanzas of Coronation"
which was given with a will, and the
Rev. Galley, of the Presbyterian Church,
was asked and invoked the divine bless
ing on the meeting, proceeding very
unusual in public political discussions.
After these exercises were finished MIR.
Danner opened the discussion with a
written speech of fOrty.tive minutes,
in which he attempted, and we think
he succeeded pretty well, in showing
how, in their present makeup, the dom
inant parties dare not take up the
question. He gave historical resume
of the rise, progress and downfall OF
the &. 0. p. which was quite interest
ing. 1t was conceded by the terms of
the question that prohibition OF the
liquor traffic was desideratum.
Mr.. Unger followed in a thirty five
minute, and. Mr.. Greenwood in thirty
minute reiOinder. but neither of them
got very near to the question at issue.
Representatives of the pull-threW-
your-eyes, high-taX, high-license.
anti-saloon, Sunday opening, prohibi
ton, gone out party are apt to shy at
the square question of the demolition
of the liquor traffic; and these gentle
men attempted ridicule, but it fell fiat,
and off on the personal habit, which is
not involved in prohibition as a polit-
ical question, and berated the preachers
soundly for not preaching total absti-
nance. They did not disprove that new
questions have always demanded, and
have had new parties; they did not dis
prove that a party can legislate any
higher, morally, than any elementWlth-
in it, which is strong enough to defeat
it; they did not disprove that the liquor
element in the dominant parties is an
influence working disaster in our well
being Of our social, civil and religious
institutions. Mr.. Danner closed with
a twenty minute review, and evidently
had the sympathy of the crowd.
The meeting may be regarded as
success for Mr.. Danner. The house was
full of people, who listened attentiyely
and sat patiently to the end
