THEY TALKED POLITICS
PrOhbidonists Who Didn't Agree Upon
Forming a Temperance Party.
One Eminent Temperance Agitator
Blamed the Republican Party
for Killing Temperance
Legislation.

NEW YORK, June l2.-The national tenn
perance congress this morning discussed
the topic. "Should there be a political
party whose dominant idea is the prohibi-
ton OF the liquor traffic ?" Rev. DIR. Car
roll, editor Of the Independent. took the
ground that such a party is not needed.
Prohibition Is question that does not
come within the scope of congress except
i'm very limited degree. Prohibition is evil
IDENTITY state question. A national party
to live must have dominant national is
issues and prohibition Is not such an is
sue. He said we would have more prohi-
bition IL We had fewer prohibition parties.
Rev. DIR. Bascomb. late president of the
Wisconsin university, said the republican
party Is now under a most uDscrupulous
leadership and IL cannot he trusted TO Sc
cure prohibition. Hence the necessity of
a prohibition party.
Mr.. Hilland of Boston spoke in opposi-
ton To prohibition party. He thought
this was to be congress or conference,
but IL seemed 10 he only a caucus.
In the afternoon session the principal
topic discussed was, ITO what causes is
to he attributed the failure Of prohibition
amendments in late contests in Massa-
chusetts. Pennsylvania and Rhode Is
land?"
n. II. Faxon OF Massachusetts, attribu-
high license law had been placed on the
statutes short time before the campaign
aud Boston was determined TO get the
$sss, 600 fees. He thought local option the
best thing. The prohibition party, he
said,is exerting hcalihful and restraining
influence on the republican party. As for
the democratic party IL cannot be trusted
To do anything which will advance tenn
perance and morality.
The attitude Of labor unions toward the
liquor traffic was also discussed. Presi-
dent Gompers of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor said, as a rule, that laboring
men were indifferent tn the temperance
and prohibition movement. Underpaid
laborers, unable to procure proper nour-
ishment, sought relief i'm liquor and
looked upon any attempt to deprive them
OF II as movement to secure for the rich
privileges which the poor could not ell
joy.
4. =. Wakeman said the present atti-
tude OF prohibitionists was antagonistic
To the workingmen. Prohibitionists should
discard the religious fanaticism which
seems to guide them at present. Prohi-
bitionists must descend from the pedestal
of h'liness, study the workingman. place
themselves on the same level, and change
their mode OF procedure.
MFR. Wakcman's little speech created a
great coinmotion, and the congress APP
parently did not like his unasked opinion
of its work.

Talk Scrap.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-The marble
room of the senate was almost the scene
OF a battle royal yesterday between
Reagan OF Texas and Stewart of Nevada.
The senator had met with decided de-
feat in the fight he made on Major Pow
ell, chief Of the geological survey, conse-
quently felt very tender. Reagan on the
contrary, had been the champion Of
Powell. As Stewart passed Reagan the
latter began chatting him about his de-
feat. Stewart took one or two samples Of
the Texas badinage then wearied Of il,
and angrily charged Reagan with being
the mere tool and puppet OF Powell.
Reagan's wrath rose. He retorted in good
style, and words ran high, until at last
Stewart, beside himself with anger,
charged Reagan with falsehood. Reagan
jumped for Stewart and battle i'm which
age and avoirdupois were the principal
factors was only averted by friends. Later
Stewart called ON Reagan and apologized,
but Reagan haughtily declined to speak, to
him. Senator Hearst managed TO make
them shake hands.
