and was often encored. They
seemed to even surpass the enviable
reputation they had already gained,
and pleased the audience beyond ex-
preston. It is pity indeed il this
quartet must be broken by Mr.. haw-
ley's removal. Their voices are charm-
ingly suited to each other.
WEDNESDAY, AUG. 3.
Prof. Geo. Hindley gave very in
teresting lecture upon the subject
"Will it Take" in the afternoon, and
those who were present speak in glow
ing terms Of it. Prof. Hindley is on
the program for other lectures and
should have large audiences.
James Clement Ambrose gave his
lecture upon, The Scholar in Politics"
and those who failed to hear it missed
an opportunity of life time. From
beginning to close he held the large
audience enraptured. While his voice
is not of the best, his expressions are
gems, and the thoughts full of rich
ness. His short, terse remarks are
difficult to catch without shorthand
reporter, and it would doubtless please
our readers if we were able to present
this lecture complete. Politics are
foul, says Mr.. Ambrose, only when
foul men touch it, He urged that
education is the true and only manner
for thoroughly cleansing politics, the
best soap and sand for politics is re.
ligion and edutation; the best time to
plant revivals is just before election.
There is no half way house between
right and wrong; importation of ig-
norance should be stopped; vote none
who can not vote in English; nineteen
per cent. of our voters can not read or
write; the gender of the holder of the
ballot Is no mans business; the right
of franchise belongs to women, or they
are not people; let the thinker cast the
ballot. He ventured to differ with the
great advocate Of equality. as expressed
in the declaration of independence, and
instead of all men being born equal he
believes all men and women were born
to become equal if they themselves see
fit to seek equality. The condition Of
politics in the larger cities was aptly
illustrated, and the ignorance of the
voters vividly portrayed; scrape the
bark from half the fellows In office
and you'll find worm holes; 100000
foreigners have landed in this country
III ten years, and they mostly refuse to
Americanizs; have no fault to find
with Immigrants, so long as they are
educated; seventy-four per cent. Of dis
charged foreign workingmen seek new
jobs in this country; seventy por cent.
Of .he brewers of this country are
foreigners; he pictured a distressing
condition of affairs in Cheat Br tain,
aaa it l.. no wonder they seek the in
ducements Of Amerlca. but he urges
this country to sort the ship loads that
are daily landing here. The pollution
in politics must be bettered by agita-
tion and education; kill the saloon, it
kills Your influence for home and pub
lie good; 10000 votes are at the rum
sellers command in New York city.
The lecture was replete with clean
ideas and beautiful thoughts, clothed
in faultless language.
THURSDAY, AUG. i.
Last evenings lecture upon the rum
set, by MIR. Ambrose, like all of his lee
lures, was thoroughly enjoyed. He
seemed to realize that he was speaking
te Black Hills audience (where pro-
hihi:ion don't prphiblf and said some-
how it was hard for him to speak.
But he got warmed TN to the subject.
and gave one of the strongest argu-
ments in favor of complete and un-
compromising prohibition that this To-
cality has listened to for many a day.
He began his lecture with the state
ment that all must admit that the liquor
habit was an evil and not good for
any man. therefore the liquor traffic
is an evil and not good. He arranged
moral suasion, no license, low license,
high license and local option. in his
own peculiar style; to license the cause
and punish the effect is the logic of
fools: there is no disenfectant but pro.
hil.ition; the dollar sign never turned
damnation into salvation; universal,
internal whiskey is responsible for

lecture should be etereotyped by the
prohibition party and given to the
world. 1t is good for people of all
opinions to read; there is much food
for thought IN his every utterance.
