A HOUSING DEBATE.
Gutlford's Music Hall Crowded to
 Over6ow1ng LastNfght.

Guilford's Music Hall Crowded to
 Overhowtng LastNfght.
 Last evening in Music hall, Guilford, Judge Lynde Harrison and Professor Sam uel Dickie, chairman of the national com mittee of the prohibition party, debated the subject: "The Work and Principles of the Parties Represented" Judge Harri- son spoke for the republican party. Con gressman Wilcox declined to speak for the democratic party owing to the illness of his child. T. c. Norton presided. There was long list of vice presidents. Over the platform were mottoes:
 REPUBLICAN PARTY-HIGH LICENSE"
 DEMOCRATIC PARTY-Low LICENsE.n
 PROHIBITION PARTING LICENSE"
 The hall was completely filled. The meeting was opened by prayer by Rev. Mir. Snow.
 Judge Harrison opened the debate and reviewed briefly the causes which led to the formation of the republican party and spoke of the slavery question, and of the growth of much sentiment in opposition to the evil. Many pertinent historical facts and events in this connection were cited, the speakers review being very lucid and interesting. He then spoke of the benefits done the nation by the republican party before, dur ing and since the civil war. In conclu- sion he said, no party exists by Hooking backward" The party does not spend it's time groping among the tombs of it's an cestors whose acts, nevertheless, we ad- mire. Honest currency, protection of American interests on land and on sea, are among the present questions to which it now addresses itself.
 Professor Dickie began his reply at about g o'clock He was proud of the magnif- cent past of the republican party and drew a parallel between the early days of the republican party and the early days of the prohibition tito party: The te old asi.,p parties liquor question. It needs to be handled by a national party as an independent is sue. The question was the foremost one in American politics. Moral questions do belong to politics, and party that stands up for great moral question must event. ually triumph. As much money is spent in the barrooms as the last congress appro- priated. We could destroy all the school houses in the land and rebuild them in 8 year with the money yearly squandered for drink. This question stands head and shoulders above the tariff, averred Mir. Dickie, as it bears on finance. The money wasted in drink would if spent for useful things cause the employment of every man looking for work in this country With many other remarks MT. Dickie closed.
 Judge Harrison in reply spoke ten min utes, and quoted Henry Wilson, who said in 1879, strive not for good theoretical theory, but for the best practical thing you can get. He rehearsed some of the efforts of the republican party of practical character to restrict intemperance. His remarks were to the effect that results that can be reached are better than the ones without actual. good accomplished. He cited many stern facts bearing on the issue from the republican standpoint. The debate was highly interesting and the affair was an occasion of great interest.

Entertainments, HYPERION THEATER.

The Marine Band gave a concert before large audience last evening that was thoroughly enjoyable and highly creditable The program contained both classical and popular music, and all the encores were of tho latter order. The band is somewhat larger one than Gilmore's and is under better discipline. It is the military band par excellence of the United States and it is credit to the nation. Mile. Decca has the upper register and sang to the accept ance of the audience, who encored both se- lections.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 A new satirical comic opera, by J. Franklin Warner, entitled Influence, or True Love Never Runs Smooth" will have it's initial presentation on any stage this evening. The opera is said to be very tuneful and, quite in contrast to the many operas now before the public, is absolutely clean and pure in every respect. Not only is this true as to the ibretto, but even in the matter of costumes the same plan is carried out. The costumes are unobjectionable to even the most fas- tidious. The them of the opera is purely American, the songs lively and the music sparkling and bright. It will be produced by star company, largely augmented or chestra, handsome anti-nude costumes, beautiful scenery and grand scenic effects The performance this evening will be wit messed by managers and theatrical critics from New York, Philadelphia and Boston The scene used in act III is Q representa- ton of the Arctic seas, which has been specially prepared for this production at a cost of over $500. It will be on exhibition at the opera house this afternoon from to o'clock, free of charge. Influence" will remain throughout the week and will doubtless draw large audiences.
 PRocroR's OPERA HOUSE.
 The attraction at this house this even ing and for the balance of the week will be the s:Night Owls" combination. In the company are: Pauline Markham, Lilli- an Granger, Sam Bernard, De1hauer the frog man, Foster and Lewis, and several other celebrities, and these will be seen in an entertaining speciality bill, closing with the bright and spicy burlesque, t'The Temptation of Faust" which abounds with new and catchy music from the latest popular operas. Elegant wardrobes and specially prepared scenery embellish every act.
 Kellar, the greatest of all magicians, is due Wednesday, April 8.

Headouarters in New Haven.

The Chicago Baptist Standard, the lead ing Baptist paper of the west, says in re- cent editorial that the center and nucleus of all enterprises in new methods of ag- gressive Christian effort and of appliances for reaching and helping the masses in this country is in the International Christian Workers association, whose headquarters are in New Haven. The report of the last convention of Christian Workers held un- der this association in Hartford is spoken of as likely to be the most suggestive book ever published. This book has been edited by John c. Collins, the secretary of the association, and will soon be issued from the press of the Stafford Printing com Dany
