THE CHURCH WGAKENS
When Prohibition is the Question at Issue
Says Evangelist Merritt.

When Prohibition is the Question at Issue,
Says Evangelist Merritt.
New YORK, March Rev. Stephen
Merritt, the temperance evangelist. spoke
at Chickering hall last night He said:
"People don't seem to get enthused over
temperance any more. I have seen peo-
pie go wild over foreign missions, and
put watches and jewelry into a col.ec
ton, but it's never so in the temperance
cause.
Society is in bad way-rotten at both
ends. AS rotten in Fifth avenue as in
the Fifth ward. There are liquor, lust
and vice of all kinds in both extremties.
And the people don't seem to care.
''The church is all honeycombed
through and through. People have no
confidence in the ministers. Not one in
fifty of the ministers votes for prohibit
ton. They seem to be for pelf, position
and power, and are losing their hold on
the people. Culture, education and
erudition have taken the place of the
Holy Ghost The church is failing. 1t
says it will open at a quarter of II and
keep you as little time as possible. That
is one of its inducements now"

Federation.

Federation.
CHICAGO, March All honest men
are to be melted to rise up Sunday and
mass in and around Central Music Hall
in a great demonstration against the
alderm mic gang This will set the
example for indignation meetings in
all the wards. The business men, law
yers, and merchants who met yesterday
in the Civic Federation headquarters de-
nounced the existing methods as the re-
suit of deliberate pot to loot the mu-
nicipal treasury and bring the city to a
point where bankruptcy will compel the
Reputation of its debts.
Lorin c. Collins, jr, presided, and in
the audience were John w. Ella, Lyman
T. Gage, John ]. McGrath. George E.
Adams, and a dozen more prominent
men who had difficulty in finding Eng
lish sufficiently vigorous to express their
Indignation. 1t was reported by
the Federation watchers that both
ordinance passed at the Monday meeting
were undoubtedly Doodle measures, and
possibly held by the gang itself as mer-
charitable property to the highest bid
der. One speaker asserted that Mayor
Hopkins had left his seat to go to the
theater, with the distinct knowledge that
the Cosmopolitan and the Ogden fran
chises were to be passed by a solid vote
of 3S men in the ring.
Secretary Ralph Easley had already
engaged Central Music hall for an indig-
nation meeting, and Messrs. Collins, Sla-
son. Thompson, Ella and McGrath were
named as "a committee to get speakers.
While the key note will be the condem-
nation of the present council, the crowds
will be asked to pledge themselves to set
apart election day as day for demon
stratiOn of civic DatriOtiSm.
