Ing place. while, as Secretary Joseph
A. Boeardus, of the committee of ar
rapgemerts. puts it, the objects of the
congress will be two fold. First, to
recognize the providence of God in the
long life and manifold labors for tenn
perance of Gen. Neal Dow (who viii be
. delegate), and secondly, TO review
fully and faithfully the entire field of
battle; to compare in frank and friend
~ discussion the conflicting views held
by the different divisions OF the tenn
perance host; to come as nearly as pos
sible to an agreement, so that there
may be less waste Of strength in dispu-
tation with one another, and that our
blows against the liquor evil may be
far more united and effective; to unite
upon a carefully prepared address to
the people of the United States and
Canada, which Will aim TO set forth
precisely the grounds of our opposition
to the saloon, and the reason its over
throw should be striven for; to take
such steps as may be necessary to place
the teaching of temperance hygiene IN
tho public schools throughout the
country on the basis OF fxed study

tory; to plan for the systematic educa-
ton Of the masses in temperance sta
tistics, facts, arguments, principles,
and to take whatever other steps may
seem best to the delegates
Here, it is evident, win be enough to
crowd many days meetings. The first
business after Gen. Howard has taken
the chair on the morning OF Juno will
be formal organization, as the con-
gress is to be strictly representative
body, each organization to b entitled
to one voting delegate to each twenty
members. There will be at least sixty
delegates from Canada alone, dozens
from California, twelve from Mexico
and heavy compliments OF representa-
tives from all the states end territories.
