PROHIBITION NOT FAVORED.
A Sensation Caused by the Re-
marks OF T. s. Wakeman-
High License.

NEW YoRK, June l2.-The National
Temperance Congress this morning dis
cusscd the topic 'Should there he II po.-
llti al party whose dominant idea is the
prohl Uition OF the liquor tratic?"
Rev. Dr. Carroll editor OF the lnde.
pendent, took the ground that such d
party WIS not needed. "Prohibition is
n question that does not come within
the scope Of congress, except in very
limited degree Prohibition IL evidently y
a staei question. A national party u
live must have a dominant national is
sue, and prohibition is not such. Va
would have more prohibition II we had
fewer prohibition parties"
Rev. DR.. Bsscom, late president of tho
Wisconsin university said: 'The re.
publican party is now under tile most
INSCRIPTIONS leaders. IL can not bs
trusted To secure prohibition party"
Mr. lIiland, OF Boston, spoke In oppo-
sitIon to prohibition. lie thought this
was 10 he a congress. or conference, bui

At tho afternoon session the principal
topic discussed was, ITO what cause |.

thing. The prob ibition party" he
said, ''is eSeTtinRa healthful and res
Training influence on the republican
party. As for the democratic party, II
can not be trusted TO do anything which
will advance temperance and morality"
The attitude of the labor unions
toward the liquor traffic was also dis
cusscd.
President Gompsrs, OF the American
Federation OF Labor, said that, a. q rule,
laboring men were indifferent to ten,
pcrance and the prohibition movement.
/ The underpaid laborrs were unable Ia
| procure proper nOurishment and sought
relief In liquor, and looked upon any
attempt to deprive the IN OF IL as q move.
mcnt TO secure tor the rich privilege,
they could not enjoy.
Il. 3. Wakeman said that the present
attitude OF the prohibitionists was an
tagonistio to the workingmen. The pro
hibitionists should discard the religious
fanaticism which seemed to guide then
descend from their pedestal Of holiness

Mr.. Wakenan's little speech create,
great commotion, and evidently tn,
