It was one OF the best and closest

Mead made a very handsome presenta-
ton speech in handing the medal TO
Mr.. Morgan. NJ,
Graham, Prof. BentlY and the
Silver Lake Qusrtette all aldeu
in the programme by good
music. The Chautauqua salute-waV-
inc Of hapdkerchiefs by the large audi
epce-was given to the speakers In APP
nreciation of the fine entertainment.
Mrs. Clara c. Hoffman, OF Missouri
smoke last night, and will also speak at
GAO u. ma. Thursday. This is her nrst
aDDearapce at the Moundsvllle Assem-
biy. Mrs. Fl. Is one OF the ablest SPEAK
ers on the American platform. la last
evenings address she made a great hlt'
The speaker discussed the reason.
whv the temperance cause had not trl-
umDhed politically over the liquor traf-
6c. Great advance had unquestionaiIy
beep made in public sentiment, ana
through the efforts Of the Prohibition
marty and the w. q. T. u; men and
women OF whom the world had not yet
become worthy, issues had been elected
that could never be relegated TO the
rear, issues that would finally become
regnant. Yet in spite OF all THESE
efforts the LIQUOR traffic IS yet the
insolent, arrogant, dominant factor
In our National life. Why? First, too
much time. too much effort have been
given to effects-too little TO causes.
Too many people have believed, still
believe that somehow, somewhere, by
moral means, through moral efforts the
LIQUOR traffic may be dethroned.
They forget that the traffic does not
exist in the realm of morals, but In the
realm of law, and must be attacked
where it exists. Then our policy OF
franchise, unwise aud unfair, has made
1t difficult to push reforms at the ballot
box. The character Of our national
ife-mOlten and heterogeneous-ls an
other difficulty.
But the main hihdrance to complete
victory the speaker found In the non
adhesion Of moral elements. While the
forces of evil will stand by their evil In
terests the forces of good divide. Nor
ality, law order, Righteousness are
mightier than immortality, lawlessness,
disorder and unrighteOusness, but these
forces must be arrayed one against the
other before victory will come. Oppo-
nents TO the saloon must not combine
with the saloon.
Victory over the liquor traffic
will never come while bishop
and brewer can stand no
the same political platform; while
deacon and distiller can support the
same men and measures; while Sunday
school superintendent aud saloon keeper
can, side by side, vote the same ticket.
Bishop, deacon and Sunday school
Superintendent may seek to justify
themselves by claiming other issues
OF portance-protection aud tar
if reform - but this Hypocrisy
is swept out from under them
bv the fact that IN the liquor traffic is a
question, morally, politically and imam
cially far greater than any other. In
February OF 1892 the New York Tribune
said: The LIQUOR traffic costs the Uni
ted States more annually than every
function of every kind of government. ="
