A RemarkabIe Gathering.

The Academy of Music, Philadelphia,
was packed from pit to dome Monday
evening, eth, with an audience which
even that renowned building has seldom
gathered under its roof. 1t would require
the 'fpen of a ready writer" indeed, or a
gift of portrayal such as Cough might
nave envied, to do justice ID the above ex-
ceptional gathering. Upon the platform,
tier above tier, were ranged 800 children
who, with their bright costumes, waving
banners. smiling faces and childish voices,
singing with great enthusiasm amendment
songs, all under the lead ofProf. Sweeney,
raised the audience to a pitch OF enthusa-
ism simply indescribable. His exccllency,
Gov. Beaver, presided, and, as is usual, his
appearance was the signal for the most
tumultous applause. Possessing rare gifts
of mind. as well as great personal magnet
ism. these, together with his official posi-
ton, never fail to 'bring down" the house.
But when, besides, II has tangible evil
dence of his devotion to his country in her
hour of snpreme need, which he constantly
bears about with him. it goes without
saying that his presence awakens the
greatest enthusiasm. The speech of his
excellency was clear, forcible aud direct.
He disclaims his attitude on the question
being either as representative of his party
or his official position, but that as a man
and citizen he purposed endorsing and
voting for the amendment. Among other
good things he said, 1--WE do not hesitate
to say that murder, arson. burglary and
the whole list Of crimes at which our
criminal code is aimed, shall be prohibited.
We do not enquire as to them, will prohi-
bition prohibit? We prohibit them, of
course, because they Immediately and d.
rectly affect the body polite. We enforce
the laws concerning them as best We may.
Can we logically say that we will not pro-
hibit the cause of the great majority of
these crimes, because forsooth prohibition
may not prohibit. The position is illogi-
cal and therefore one which | cannot
take
The Governor was followed by Mrs. J.
Ellen Foster, who showed ~conclusively by
statement from official sources that pro-
hibition most effeetually prohibited in
Iowa. The closing speech made by At
torney- General Bradford literally bristled
with statements which he challenged sue
cessful contradiction, that demonstrated
by the best of all evidence, viz: "the
stubborn logic of facts" that prohibition
in Kansas YVES a pronounced success.
Among other facts cited, he said that not
a single brewers stamp had been issued
during the year, and that to-day there is
not q single distillery, nor a barrel of
bonded liquor in the State. He referred
to one Tomlinson, who in the Massachu-
sets campaign claimed that in his town
Tin Kansas as much liquor was sold as
ever, and yet who on his return to his
home under oath denied every statement.
From the most searching investigation it
was found that there was not at the pres
ent a single open saloon in the State. The
above is but a meagre outline of a most
remarkable gathering in the interest of the
suppression Of the colossal evil of our day.

Appeal 10 en-.

Ellice Hopkins, the gifted pioneer of the
White Cross movement, makes an effective
appeal to the chiralry of Young manhood
as follows:
Young men, | write unto you because
yen are strong; use your strength to pro-
tect our dear girls from the devils in hu-
man form, that lie everywhere in wait for
them. Never was knight of old more need
ed than you are to take up the cause of the
wronged, the helpless, the unprotected.
Let every unprotected girl be able to say
of you, as Spenser sings, that the most
lonely and unprotected girl could feel of
king Arthur:
THAT all the time he by his side her bore.
She was as safe as in Il sanctuary
So shall you win a perfect love from the
woman you will care for in you after life,
as one who has kept himself pure and un-
spotted for her, and done service to all
women for her sake

theoretically a woman has, of course,
the same right that a man has TO be the ally
and champion of the liquor traffic; but in
view of the suffering and degradation
which it imposes upon womanhood especi-
ally, apology for and advocacy of wine
drinking, as by Miss Field, seems even
more in%congruous aud offensive by her than
by men-such as DR.. Crosby, from whom
she read a note of approval and encour-
agement at her recent Washington wine
party. That an educated, cultivated
woman can in this era stand upon a public
platform and advocate wine-drinking, and
ridicule and oppose the prohibition of the
liquor traffic, in the midst of the woes of
womanhood and the ruin of girlhood
caused by strong drink, is well-nigh in
comprehensive. Dean Swift used to say:
sIt is wonderful with what Christian for
titude we can endure the suiferings of
folks" 1t is of this sort of Christian(?)
fortitude that Kate Field and DR.. Crosby
