We
prominent public men were present, and
spoke briefly.
Mayor Roche presided, and near him ON the
PLATFORM sat two persons whose presence was
well calculated to intensity interest in the oc-
casion One was the venerable Hannibal
Hamlin, of Maine, who had the honor of be-
ing elected vice president with Lincoln in
1860, and the other was Robert 4. Lincoln,
the only surviving child of the great enamel
pator.
Among others who occupied seats on the
Platform were: George s. Boutwell,, of Mas
sachusetts; Governor Larrabee, of Iowa; J..
McCiregor Adams, Franklin H. Head and
Gen. George Crook.
Almost at the beginning of his address Mr..
kasson made an alluson to Hannibal Ham,
Inns presence, which caused long and hearty
applause. When he finished the audience be-
gan calling for Mr. Hamlin Finally the
venerable gentleman stepped forward and ex-
pressed his thanks, but said that he could not
think of marring the harmony of the occasion
by trespassing on the time of his hearers by
attempting to add anything to the excellent
eulogy already pronounced.
Mr.. Kasson closed as follows: "Time and
distance will beautify the outline of Lincolns
great character, and men shall see its
which is reflected from the towering great
ness of this bcnefactor of his country and of
mankind"

In one of the rooms Of the Tower of Lon

these, as q proof of their education: as in

The Nashua, n. H., Telegraph edited by
Hon. o. c. Moore, Congressman elect from
the I'd New Hampshire district, sums up
the results of the prohibitory law that has
been upon the statutes of that state for
thirty years as follows: There is less
drunkenness and less disorder Savings
that formerly went for beer and whisky
now go into the savings banks. The con-
stable has much less to do. The public
peace is rarely broken. The general ma
terial prosperity of the state is advanced.
Best cell the removal of temptation is
bearing the best of fruits" With such
results as the effects of prohibition in the
Granite state, would it not be well for the
Legislature to give us prohibition rs the
policy of this state, or, at least make more
efficient and thorough the restrictive policy
by increasing the tax to $1,000, the bonds to
$40, 900, the penalty of violation of the lazy
Imprisonment in the state prison, with local
prohibition of the manufacture or sale of
any kind of intoxicants to be used as
beverage, at the will of the majority in
county, and a violation of this law punish
able by not less than ten years imprson-
ment in the state prison.

CHAS. FRANCIS ADAMS. Is tnat the inter-
stale commerce law should be enforced The
second proposition is that when questions
arise between the companies forming this
association they shall be decided by arbi-
tration. 1t only remains to decide here to-
day whether any gentleman representing a
railroad company is prepared to stand up
and say before the public, and to us that he
is opposed to obeying the law; and further,
that in matters OF controversy he prefers to
take the law into his own hands rather than
to submit to arbitration"
Jay Gould suggested that the agreement
ought to be for at least one year, that sixty
days was not long enough. Adams said
After we get this thing going for sixty
days l want to see the man that would dare
withdraw. He would have to give thirty
days notice; he would have to specify the
ground on which he withdrew; and we are
perfectly willing,if the agreement stands for
sixty days, to meet the issue if it is then pre-.
sented, but we think we should not cross that
stream until we come to it.
Adams motion that the general scope of
the plan is salts factory to the gentlemen
present was second ed by Mr.. Jay Gould
