FATHER PHILLIPS REPLY.
He Thinks the Statement of MIR.
O,Connor Was Injudicious.

Rev. Z. j. Phillips, of Plains, nation
al president of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, Board of Erin, has made
the following reply to the statement
of National President of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians of America O'Con-
nor, of Savannah, Ga, which was
printed in yesterdays Tribune:
1.-THE statements attributed to Mr..
O'Connor are, to say the least, as un-
wise and indiscreet as denial or any
further discussion of questions now
out of his hands and mine would be.
Good judgment and good taste ought
to suggest to the members on both
sides that as the case has been tried
on it's merits and closed before a con-
scientious judge, the Rt. Rev. James
A. McFaul, of Trenton, N. j., it is
we'll for all of us to bear in mind that
partisan official announcements from
Savannah, Ga, or Plains, Pa, or any
where else are out of harmony with
the glorious fact that the marriage
ceremony which made our two organ
izations one took place in Atlantic
City, N. j., on the Sd day of August,
1897. 1t only remains now for Bishop
McFaul in his wisdom and patriotic
love of his race to prepare the way
for us to go housekeeping, and then,
as good old Rip Van Wrinkle says, may
we live long and prosper

Last night in camp was dreary. Not
a soldier could be found. The tents
were there but the rain in the early
evening dampened the military ardor
of the knights and when the big cloud
burst at 1890 o'clock came the few
soldiers left in the city were glad they
had money to pay for real beds. Most
of the Uniformed Rank companies left
the city during yesterday. Last night

all that We're left in the city. General
Starbird and staff are still here and

as the Arabs who stole away and
everything else not fastened down.

NOTES OF THE CONVENTION.

One of the best known of the vis-
iting delegates is NJ. T. Sharkey, of Ho-
boken, N. j., who formerly resided here
and for twelve years was member OF
the old Father Mathew society of the
West Side.
In his efforts to defeat the Will of the
convention in re-electing him first vice
president Mr. Logue gave as his reason
that he would have some affairs of his
own to look after during the coming year.
Somebody shouted out cadets" and the
Philadelphia delegates laughed while
Mr.. Logue bushed.
Ex-President ]. ]. OHara. of the Scran-
ton union under whose leadership the So
ceties of his jurisdiction made the great

union, Is the n ost modest and unassum-
ing man in the convention. He couldn't
be anything else than success, though,
as he is a newspaper man.
Rev. Father Scully was chaplain of a
Massachusetts regiment in the rebellion.
He is Ga years of age, but declined car
riage in the parade last night, saving a
man in the prime of life ought to walk.

RALLY AT LYCEUM.

The Catholic Total Abstinence union
rally at the Lyceum last night was
begun at 10 o'clock and continued for
over one hour, in which time the thous-
and people who crowded the house
enjoyed a veritable feast of elo-
quence. On the platform when the
curtain went up were found seated a
hundred or so delegates and clergy
men. Rev. E. j. Melley, in introduce
ing Superior Court Judge p. p. Smith,
as chairman of the evening, paid his
sincere respect to temperance, refer
ring to II as cause which makes
happy homes and sober, honest cit
izenship.
Judge Smith was greeted with hearty
applause. He made a brief speech,
saying that temperance was consid-
cred essential, however men may diff
fer on partisan policy or creed. His
reference TO Father Mathew won ready
recognition. He showed that the rev.
erend advocates visit to this country
in 1S49 met with general greet
ing. Difference of religious belief
We're lost sight of in the one grand
cause" said Judge Smith. "They hailed
Father Mathews coming as a blessing
and congress conferred upon him the
distinctive honor given to only one
person before-Lafayette"
HAS PRACTICAL BENEFITS.
Judge Smiths idea that the temper
ance cause has practical benefits in be-
half of the welfare of everyone and
Injuries no one" was appreciated, 1T
has no tinge of selfshness," he said;
"it only asks to be permitted to do
good" Judge Smith afterward intro
duced Rev. James NJ. Cleary, president
Of the national union, who spoke In an
eloquent and interesting way of the
temperance cause and dwelt particu-
larly upon the observance of Sunday
and the enforcement of both "civil and
moral laws" as he designated them.
"The best test of law is not it's en-
forcement but it's observance. The
| Catholic Total Abstinence union teaches
religious obligation, to obey and re-
| spect."
The speaker deprecated the generally
| increasing tendency to destroy the
| Lords day and said that the masses
will find that they mot only rob God
but place their own day of rest in
| danger of attack from the spirit OF
| grasping greed"
| After Father Clearys address, Ma
tional Secretary Doyle announced that
st. Leo's battalion, Of the West Side
had won the banner offered by the
union to the society enrolling the
largest number of new members since
the last convention. The audience
loudly applauded the announcement
st. Leo's society has enrolled 222 new
members. j. IL. Devine, president OF
the society, in accepting the banner
made a brief speech Of thanks. The
prize is valued at $3.50.
Mrs. Lenora M. Lake spoke at length
on the temperance question and Vice
President Logue gave the closing ad
dress. During the rally the Lyric
quartette-David Stephens, Tom Bey
non, John w. Jones, p II. Warren, o.

'It's a small thing to MENTION" said the
middle-aged man in a tone OF apology,
"but while we're among strangers here
wish you wouldn't call me colonel ia
rather be known as captain"
"I3ut you are fully entitled to the desig-

are responsible. They never distinguish
him as captain, and that's why I'd like
to have you use the word in my case. 1t

The ride over the gravity road was

much pleasure. The Germania band
was present and furnished concert and
dance music.

ccme I'D to the record of last year,
when 12O new societies, with 5,761 MEM
bers were enrolled, Two new subor-
dinate unions have been organized, one
in Kansas, where the Ladies' Auxiliary
uf the Knights of Father Mathew of
Kansas City and vicinity banded to-
gether as a union, and the other in the
Erie diocese, which has societies and
395 members. Special mention was
made of especial good progress in the
diocese Of Winona, Scranton and Pitts
burg.
In discussing the two principle meth
DDS in vogue of battling against the
drink evil, Rev. Father Doyle says:
There have not been wanting those
who think that constitutional amend
ment prohibiting, under the severest
penalties, the manufacture and sale of
intoxicants would he the panacea for
intemperance. There are others who
bend every energy to the enacting of
sever restrictive laws, attaching to
them an automatic enactment clause,
and then expect the millennium from
the drink curse. / do not think there
is any evil so belegislated as the drink
evil; still we are far from seeing the
end of 1t. There is not state that has
not some perfectly guaranteed, sure
to-go-off liquor legislation; and in spite
of the promises of it's makers, there is
not a session of the legislature in which
still more time is not taken up in
stopping the holes and patching the
rents of the previous years law-mak-
ing.
PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES..
while so busily occupied in maxi
ing liquor laws, the sense of personal
responsibility has been to some extent
forgotten. l think that the
policy which depends on the law, and
the law alone. for the cure of intem-
perance has been tried in the balance
and found wanting, and that shrewd-
thinking and sound-headed men are re-
alizing the futility Of over-legislation
as a cure-all, and are more and more
coming to the position which we as an
| organization have steadily maintained.
| that the best way to effectually close
| the saloon Is to stop the demand for
| drink and made odious the drinking
| customs of society. They are begin
ming to acknowledge the soundness of
| the policy which commences by maxi
ing Total Abstainers, and then allow
| ing the voice of the law to be the out
come of a sentiment deeply lodged in
the hearts of the people. We do nc
hope to make men sober by law, but
we do hope by law to prevent the sa-
loon-kecper from making his patrons

For quite while this paper has beer
advocating the whipping post. There
have been no laws enacted recently fol
lowing our advice, but the principle
prevails in Scotland Neck. A colored
boy few days ago stole some money
from merchant here, who, although
he caught the boy and recovered his
money, did not care to prosecute for
such small amount, and said he would
not IT the boy could be whipped.
Upon this information the mother of
the boy took horse whip and gave
him something like hundred in the
presence of the Mayor and others.

need the whipping post as a legal pro-
