EN-GOV. ST. JOHN
Addresses Great Audience on the
Prohibition Question.

HToHibitioD u question.
Most people here have heard of Ex-
Gov. St. John of Kansas, whose repu-
tation as an orator is as wide as the
country. Last evening many hun.
dreds had an opportunity of seeing and
hearing him at Metropolitan hall. His
reputation is well won. His address,
an hour and half in length, was
listened to with close attention. His
style is easy, his manner good and his
voice pleasant and penetrating. He vas
introduced by Mr.. J. H. Southgate, of
Durham. His address was principally
an attack on the democratic and repub-
lican parties. He attacked the gov
ernment for licensing the whiskey
traffic, and said under this system the
consumption per capita had increased
from p gallons IN 1862 to l5a now.
The saloons in three years had increas-
ed in number from 100000 to 240, 900,
and these, with 20 leet front each,
would make "a street of hell 92O miles
long," he declared. Nine-tenths of the
crimes were due to whiskey and 150,-
600 lives were lost yearly by it. He
asserted that the prohibition party
would persevere until it purified the
country. He never mixed politics and
religion, but tried to inject some relig-
ion into politics. The need is a political
party which will do right because it is
right. The volume of the liquor traffic
in year more that equals the taxable
value of five States like North Caro-
lima. He spoke in advocacy of the
free-coinage Of silver, and said the
people would have ii before they
stopped. He asserted that the abolition
of the whiskey traffic would settle the
labor question. Each year this traffic
destroys $4,000 lives in the United
States. He ridiculed the republicans
for their tariff fraud, which he called
legalized robbery, pure and simple, be-
cause it puts its burdens upon the
necessities of the people instead Of
their wealth, and adds that the in
variable result of a protective tariff
was fall in prices, because of over
production. In conclusion he said the
old parties lived on memories Of the
past and that the orly question be-
tween them was the scramble for office.
He favors the election Of president,
, vice president and senator's by direct
vote, and also the direct and entire
control Of railways and telegraphs by
the government, the latter to be op.
Grated at cost. He paid Mr.. Cleve.
land high compliment and this was
applauded vigorously.
