Dr., SHAW ATTACKS R4INEs LAW.
HE SAYS THAT HE PREFERS THE OLD EX-
CISE STATTTE.

There was a meeting 20 discuss the excise
question last night at the West End Presby-
lerlan Church. Amsterdam-ave. and West One
hundred-and-if -ifth-st., of which the Rev. DIR.
John Balcom Shaw is the pastor.
Ihe first speaker. DR.. John c. Bliss of the
Washington Heights Presbyterian Church. de-
cIared that he disapproved the opening of sa-
loons on Sunday being ''unrighteous. unfair
ana un-American." Mrs Ella A. Boole presi-
cent OF the New-York State Woman's Christian
temperance Union. expressed the opinion that
II the sentiment of the citizens of the city were
brought out by petition it would be shown that
two to one we're opposed 10 the opening of the
saloons on Sunday.
Dr. Shaw was the last speaker. so far as I
know he said there is only small minority
IN favor of the proposition OF Sunday opening

ford. (Applause) They do not stand for the
presbyterty, which has already made itself
heard They do not stand for the great bulk
OF the men in the church. There may be a
sentiment for this thing by men who talk
Ing to the galleries, or who are fond of posing
before the Citv as men of liberal minds There
may be some sentiment by men whose judg
ments are btassed by COnvivial habits, but there

DR.. Shaw said that he wanted to know
whether it was wise to allow the Raines law to
remain on the, statute books. There has never
been more nefarious excise law voted for by
the legislature of any commonwealth" he as
serted. Under that law. he continued. IL was
difficult TO stop the opening Of saloons, because
II was law constructed for revenue purposes.
and there were many provisions in it which
permitted men to open saloons and keep them
open at all times and under all circumstances.
1t is infinitely worse than the old law" said
Dr. Shaw, In closing because under that law
we were able to close saloons occasionally by
going TO the old Excise Board. We want TO
make such protest about the present excise
conditions that John Raines will no longer be
the excise leader in the State"
