TEMPERANCE ADDRESS.
COuite 4 sensation was created at
the temperance anniversary cele-

address made by Samuel Dickie.
national chairman OF the Prohibi-
ton party and editor of THE
Voice. in which he denounced
President Mckinley.
''Nluch speculation he said,
"has been made as 10 whether
President Mckinley is a total alb.
stainer or not. He is not, as have
seen and can prove TO the entire
satisfaction of any jury in the
country. Mr.. Mckinley by acting
in this disgraceful manner is openly
dcfying one of the most eXacting
laws Of his church, which sets forth
that no one, member OF the church
shall indulge in any Intoxicating
beverage, nor rent his property tor
the sale of spirituous liquors"
'Some time ago, President Nc
kinlcy visited Pretoria, Illinois,
where he was entertained by ]. S.
Greenhut, president OF the whiskcy
trust. Many Methodists there
would have been glad TO have him
as their guest, but he preferred to
stop with Mr.. Grcenhut who ex-
pended $50, 900 for amusements,
during the a hours the President
was with him
In speaking of the cantccn sys-
TEN. now used in the army for sup
plying the soldiers with liquor. he
said: "President Mckinley who is
a Methodist lavman oil much promi-
nence, could cause this practice to
be abandoned by 4 simple order.
1t would not have to go through
Congress, as the President is com
mandcr-in-chicf of the army. This
custom. however, he considers bene-
ticial to the tooops." "
George ". Todd was chairman
and Rev. IL. II, Courscy sang two
solos.
