Senater Colquitt, of Georgia, was Intro duced, te the audience by Chairman Brosius and received with se great applause that he was nnable te proceed for several minutes. He began his speech by referring te the great importance of tlie question te lie do de elded at the election en June 18, said he had been ridiculed and scoffed at and called a crank and fanatic for the position he had taken en the temperance question-, but he cared nothing for the ridicule heaped en htm. He said in substance: The liquor traffic Is cither a blessing or a curse. If It promotes the geed order of society aud makes geed citizens, everybody ought te vote te retain this trade. If it demoralizes and debauches the youth of the land cvery vote should be catt for the amendment. Pennsylvania is proud of being the Kcystone of the national arch, nnd he hoped that the vete would be se overwhelmingly In favor of the amendment that Pennsylvania would hereafter be known us the " Koysteno of morals." He ap',-ealed te the fathers In the audience te put te thomselves this question, " Is my son te be ruined by ram?" Every futher who thought se would of ceurse vete for the amendment. He urged them te vote for the ainendmeMt.te aave some ether person's en. He next dwelt upon the personal liberty phase of the question as it wus argued from the liquor dealers' standpoint. He referrcd te the mission of the Democratic party, which he said was te ralse the peer labor ing man te a higher and purer citizenship. It is the opinion of many that the wenls Democracy nnd ram selling are syn onymous. He wanted It understood that the Democrats are net as a party com mitted te the si de of the liquor sellers In this piovemcnt. He had met and spoken with many Democrats In this state, nnd there would be found in this battle Demo crats shoulder te shoulder with their peliti cal enemies, battling for the cause of pro hibition. He next gnve Illustrations of the absurd ity of the personal llberty phose of the question. Sema peeple w horn he met said they believed In tomicrance but did net wunt te be restrained and that prohibition would net prohibit. Tliese poeplo believe In high license te reduce the iiumber of saloons, thus discriminating against the peer man who cannot pay high license,and gave the liquor privilege te the rich man with his marble liars, cut glasses and finery. If his son Is rained by rum It was Imma terial whether the liquor was furnlshed te him standing en n marble fleer and drink ing ever a marble bar, or whether he gets his liquor standing en a saw dust fleer, evor an erdlnury wooden bnr. It is said that prohibition cannot be en forced and that the laws would be violated. There have been violations against the high liconselaw. There are violations against every law en the statute books, but that is no reason why ail laws should boreen!od. Fer every violation of law thore Is a pen alty attached. Enforce the law rigidly and there will be no mere violations of the liquor than of any ether law. If Pennsyl vania can't oxecuto the law n en her Ixieks let her ccjse te lie the Keystoue state of the Union. Dees ptohlhltlen Increase taxer, was thy last phiise discussed. He asserted and said the proof of his assertion came from his own city und elate. In Atlanta at the end of the year that prohibition was In force, the city tux rate was less and there was mere money In the treasury thun ever before, Thore was net one-to'uth of the cases returned te court or heard by magis trates that thorp was when saloons worn en overy corner. He ridiculed the Idea that business would suffer if prohibition was adopted and In closing nsked the audlonce net tocensiiro the cemmittee for bringing a rebel te talk te them. While it is true tliuthewusln the Confederate army dur ing the year, there was new but ene Union and one flag,aud if occasion ever re quited, the moil of the Seuth would be found shoulder te shoulder with theso of the North in driving nut any foreign enemy. Senater Colquitt spoke for two hetlrs.untl had the strictest attention of his large uudi uudi wiee. His sjieecli was Interspersed with numoieus stories and was well recolved. He retired amid thunders of applause. MONtY it.visi:ii. J. W.

Hal r n Thousand Witnesses te the Defeat of the Cubau Glnuts The Score, T te 0. Ventures of the Contest. The championship season of the Middle States League was eened lu Luncaster en Wednesday afternoon under the most fav orable nusplces. Although the weather was very unfavor able, a drizzling rain setting In at S o'clock and continuing for two hours, the crowd ndmbered about 500 people. The opponents uf Lancaster's green club were the Cuban Giants, the strong colored team whose nime has spread ever the entire country. The club bus been togetherfor several years ns an Independent organiza tion, but .le-dy It is stronger than ever before. The men have lieen together for two months this year downing almost everything with which they came In eon tact and playing clese games with the strongest teams In the country. When the Mlddle States schedule was made up and it became known that the Giants were te open here, everybody thought It was a shatne te put in such a stteng team against the weakest. The way that the I .ancestor club polished off the colored men showed that the former nre allowing no flics te gather upon them. The Giants wero very anxious te win the opening game bore. Wyte was en Iho score card te pitch; but the mnuaa-er changed his mind, and Stovey, the left handed man, formerly of Nevvark, took the box with C. Wllllamstncatchhlm. The gamew-as called at 3: 1.1 by Umpire Deen, and the cel e red uieti wero much .the live lier club ofthe two. They seemed te think Hint they had a picnic, and began te coach veiy vigorously. They seen changed their tune, hnvvover, uud the Lancaster men became the noisy people. Neither club scored in the llrst Inning, but In the second the Giants succeeded lu getting three men ever the plate. Frye get te llrst en an error of Peak, nnd Boyd went there en balls, nnd two base hits of Malone und Frye secured the threeruus. After that the Giants were net se froe with Iho stick und Kllrey was tee much for them. They scattered their hits idl through the game, und owing te the sharp fielding could de nothing. Yogi caught well and his accurate throwing te second wus n feature of the game. Towards the latter pari of the game the Lancaster boys took a turn at the lint nnd gnve their black brothers n llttle levseu in lis use. Stovey wus well touched up and he looked very sick as the kids nipped his left-hand delivery. In the eventh ItinlugO'Dounell mid I-eng took their basca mi bulls, nnd niter stealing u base each Clark brought them in with n ceiklng hit down past second. Three mere runs wero added by an error of Grant, two bagger of Cullliis and a single by Kllrey. In the lust Inning the Umcnster boysndded two mere runs te their score by hits or Cellins, Kllrey and O'Deunelt nnd an error of Malone. Among the best features of the game, besides the buttery work of Kllrey and Yegt, was the timely hitting of Clark aud Cellins and two mngniilcciil fly catches by the latter lu centre Held. He took theni almost against the fence,and the npplause he received wns tremendous. At the clese of the game the applause was tre mendous, and the result was the talk ofthe town lust evening.
