STEWARDS FINE SARCASM.
A Temperance Orators Reference to
the Governor of Illinois.

Oliver w. Stewart, chairman of the ma
tional prohibition committee, addressed an
audience of Christian Endeayors and Ep-
worth Leaguers at the Central Christian
Church last night. Mr.. Stewart was once
chairman of the Illinois Y. p S. c. f. He
was introduced last night by Rev. A. B.
Phillputt. pastor of the church.
Before directing his remarks to his topic
Christian Citizenship" Mr.. Stewart gave
a bright Introductory talk. He prefaced
bis topic with the question, when your
government is wrong, can you be right?'
Then in fine sarcasm he discussed the rene
dies which have been suggested by politi-
clans and others for the abatement of the
liquor traffic evil. 1t had been suggested
to the temperance people that they have
the right of petition, and Mr.. Stewart
painted in ironical colors the remarkable
success of petitions in destroying the army
canteen. He recalled how President Nc
kinley wiped out the canteen at the very
sight of a petition. Then Mr.. Stewart sug-
gested in the same strain that they might
petition the Governor of Illinois not to get
so drunk just before peace jubilees that he
could not appear. Mr.. Stewart contended
that the right of the people was to COM
mand, and that the place to command was
at the polls, where every citizens is SOW
ereign. The meeting was well attended.

CAUSTIC LETTER FROM GRIGGS.


NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Attorney General
Griggs, who has become involved i'm a con-
troversy with the National Woman's Chris
teen law, has written caustic letter to
Margaret Dyee Elliott, sperintendent of
legislation for that body. She recently is
sued circular urging members of the
union to write to President Mckinley, re-
minding him of his promise to W. c. T.
u. committee to reconsider the construc-
ton of the law, to see whether the attor-
ney generals interpretations were correct
Mr.. Griggs says: ''Inasmuch as I assume
that you are not willing to disseminate
false statement, especially with reference
to the President of the United States, I
deem 1t my duty to call your attention to
the fact that shortly after the visit of the
committee which you refer to the Presi-
dent did refer to the attorney general the
law you have mentioned and asked him to
go over the question and reconsider his
opinions. The attorney general did so, and
reported that after a careful consideration
of the case he was unable TO come to any
conclusion different from that first report
ed. Furthermore. at the request of the
President the legal effect of the anti-can-
teen law was considered by the secretary
of war, whose duty Ii is TO see that the
law is enforced, and that officer (who is
considered TO be lawyer of reputation
concurred In the views and opinion given
to the President by the attorney general
Consequently the President has been en-
forcing the law according TO its real mean
ing. interpreted to him by the officers
of the government who are charged with
its Interpretation and reform. / respect
fully suggest, therefore. that you modiT-
your circular letter by stating the real
facts of the case and that you take pains
to see whatever pressure may be brought
upon the President shall be pressure based
upon true understanding OF the facts

ended in this city will destroy the hopes
of demagogues who look to the disaster
which disagreement would involve for
success that would give a few of them Of
fees. AS to the anthracite mines. it is re-
ported in Washington by officers of the
Federation OF Labor that no strike is prob
able. The miners are receiving SIS day.
and it Is expected that advance to $50
will be made at an early date. 1t is now
probable that this scheme TO secure party
advantage by the Bryan leaders in the
movement by a general strike of coal
miners will fail. Such assurance is graft
flying to all who have an interest i'm the
general welfare of the people, but what
can be said of class of political managers
who would stir up strife that might lead TO
lawlessness and violence. simply TO win
votes by appealing to prejudice and pas
sion?
