dropped the rat, which was dead

Temperance Column.
Dy the Ocala Temperance Reform Club.
Edited by J. A. Munden.
"The Club meets every Sunday afternoon at four
o'clock in Temperance Hall. Ttoe Public
are invited.
CATHOLICS SPEAK.
The Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of Amerida convened at
Columbus Hall, New York, Aug.
.7, and continued in session three
days.
Among the prominent speakers
were Archbishop Ryan and J.
Washington Loague, of Philadel Philadelphia,
phia, Philadelphia, and President Glory.
It was recommended that the
lecturing system be extended as
much as possible; that temper temper-.ance
.ance temper-.ance literature be disseminated in
2very place, and that total absti abstinence
nence abstinence societies be started every
parish.
To show the trend of the'
speeches, we quote from one
speaker as follows:
"It is not the sin of drunkenness
-alone that our grand organization
is prepared to combat. Our far far-ireaching
ireaching far-ireaching purpose is to aid in cor correcting
recting correcting the foolish drinking cus cus-toms
toms cus-toms of society, to make the prac practice
tice practice of total abstinece popular, and

to brand with odium the indefen indefensible
sible indefensible and dangerous social customs
hat are a stumbling block to the
veak and a temptation to all.
There can be no affiliation be between
tween between the church and the saloon.
The church will not and cannot
permit that the drinking den shall
flourish beneath the shadow of the
-consecrated house of prayer.";
The following resolutions were
.adopted among others:
"Resolved, That we urge every everywhere,
where, everywhere, by votes and influence, the
enactment of such laws as the
'screen law,' the 'single entrance'
Jaw, and all v laws which may in
- any way help towards the strict
enforcement of the present excise
Jaws.
"Resolved, That we co-operate
with our non-Catholic fellow-citizens
in every legitimate effort to
restrict the evils of intemperance.
"Resolved, That we urge the
formation of total abstinence soci soci-aties
aties soci-aties among women, girls and
.boys, and we urge men's societies
to give them every encouragement
in their power. .
Jacksonville seems to .be some somewhat
what somewhat stirred up over- the Sunday
a!oon;ordinance; The leader of
the anti-saloon men is one of the
councilmen, x?ho declares he is go going
ing going to fight the' non-enforcement
of the law to the last ditch. He
will be reinforced by almost every
minister in the 'city. The battle
promises to be a-hot one. We sin sincerely
cerely sincerely hope the defenders of the
-ordinance will come out victorious.
