The campground at Moundsville is
very favorably situated by nature
and not few of those encamped on the
scene are there for the two-fold pur.
pose Of taking in the meetings and keeping
cool. Even during the extreme heat OF
yesterday il was surprising at how many
points of the ground light breeze could be
experienced. There was more than the
usual amount of interest for the fair sex in
the proceedings of yesterday from the fact
that woman Inquired largely in the pro
gramme. After the usual preliminaries, the
morning session, which was presided over
by Mrs. Buell., opened with a lesson on the
METHODS or TEACHING
juvenile works, in which charts helped not
a little to elucidate the subject 1t was a
work in which the ladies present, especial
ly those engaged in the occupation of teach
ing, took great interest. The lecture was
listened 10 attentively throughout, and
many helpful ideas were CLEANED from the
remarks.
The programme YVES reversed somewhat,
and Mrs. Mary 7. LatErop, of Michigan.
who was to have spoken at 1890 in the
morning, gave place to NJ j. Tanning, who
delivered a temperance address, which in a
measure followed up the debate which was
begun the preceding afternoon as to the de-
STABILITY of a prohibition party. The
speaker has an easy, conversational style,
and one that readily commands attention.
He referred to many of the statements
made by the two contestants in the debate,
and analysed them according TO his own
ideas on the subject He was of the opinion
that
PROHIBITION PARTY
was desirable and in opening his remarks,
cited several instances in Massachusetts,
TO show that the prohibition law was a
necessity. He did not believe that prohi-
bition interfered with personal liberty, and
gave specimen illustrations of the same.
No man has the right in organized society
to do anything that will initiate against
the good of society.
The speaker recalled the story Of Alex
audcr Selkirk on the lonely island OF
which il has been written, he was mon
arch Of all he surveyed" OF course he had
things all his own way so long as there was
no one else on the island. He could go in
bathing without any bathing suit on, but
he couldn't do il here Just let some other
fellow with a little broader shoulders get
on that island. aud see how Selkirk' S
power and influence would begin to drop
And so il is everywhere in society
Mr.. flaming observed that the right to sell
whisky ended where happiness begins. He
liked liberty, but there were different
KINDS OF LIBERTY.
He liked that kind Of liberty that caused
the fOrefatherS 10 strike for freedom. In
answer to the question whether prohibit
ton does really prohibit he cited the COM
parison between prohibitory Kansas and
license Nebraska. In 1850 Kansas sold
80, 600 barrels of liquor; but now with the
law on, the sales in 1889 were
5000 barrels, while in Nebraska with
license there was sold in 1889
IL. 600 barrels against 10000 in 1850. The
saloon keepers are the tax gatherers, the
women and children through the agency of
Il drunken husband are the taxpayers
Mr. Tanning then closed his lecture by Civ
ing Il number of statistics TO show that the
prohibition party was a necessity, and one
that was bound TO spring into power. This
concluded the morning session.
After all replenished the inner man the
deep toned bell again rang out the call for
he afternoon session. The audience in the
was very light, but increased a
little in the afternoon, and
WAS LARGELY COMPOSED
Of ladies' Mrs Lathrop addressed the as
sembage on the question of temperance,
and her remarks were very earnest and at
times, eloquent Rev. G. w. Gushing, of
Wheeling, ably presided at the afternoon
meeting and he called upon Rev. {. b. Ora
ham, of Wheeling, to offer prayer. Mrs.
Lathrop was then introduced aud spoke
tluently for over an hour. She fully be-
iieved that all the work mapped out by the
Prohibition party was possible, and in this
connection stated, that IN her belief, the
child is born who will look upon the closed
doors Of the last legalized saloon in this
country. The liquor question is first and
foremost moral question. No man can
spend an hour in a saloon and walk out
quite the man he was when he entered.
The saloon is the star chamber of the as
sassins of America. If there is any class
of people in the world who know just what
KIND OF AZ ANIMAL
this is we are talking about this afternoon
il is the women who have been doep down
in the war trenches. If the men haven't
got the heart to tackle this problem, then
set US women on. III the CoutSt U. Hcl Act-
ture she gave many illustrations that had
come under her personal observation.
