Willari spoke on the amendment to ono of the lurges njcllouccs that has ever assembled , in Norfolk the opera house being literally packed to suf focatlooby the throng who camp to hear her Stanton , Madison , Pierce , and other ndjoin ing towns were well represented In the nudl cnco. Miss Willurd spoke rapidly and clo quently for an hour and a half. After a few Introductory remarks Miss " \VUlard began her address by tracing the growth oC the anti-slavery sentimon until through agitation that cause bad triumphed and likening it to the growthof tbo Aral total abatlnecco and later prohibition sentiment. Tbo dinner to the Pan-American congress and the banquet to tbo president at the hub aud to the North Carolina editors ut Durham , al served without wlno , were cited as Instances of the growth of the temperance sentiment. With a pasilng compliment paid to the ab stlaonca habits of the editorial fraternity o : the tar heel state , the speaker referred to the passage by tha senate of the anti-lottery bll and said that while this law would not pro hibit the lottery from running , U raUot up a standard and sot n greal bel tolling out the death Uuell of tb Louisiana octopus. ThiPsnloon Is the homo of gambling and the lottery lo a Pandora' * box from which comSlh.'out only ovll nnd nothing hut evil , nnd sln > , hoped some dny to llinnk God us heartily amho did for the passage - ago of the lottery hlllifofltlio enactment of a law prohibiting the otfiitciico of the open sa loon by congress. Itofcrrlng to the oppWtlon ot Germans to prohibition , the fact thiv many of that na tionality came to America to escape bclug drafted Into the Immense standing iirmy of the cmplm < was dwelt upon and the speaker asked If It wns possible to gut along ! hero with nn army of 2.,0)0 ) men anduo forced enlistments , If our method of hnndllng Uk < A liquor trafHo might not be a yankuo notion that could with prollt bo transplanted to tht'fntherland , Thu vested rights of tile snlooni were com- arcdwlth the vetted rights of sorrowim ? vlvcs , who are brought by the trnftlo down nto tbo depths of unutterable woo. The iotlicr'3 heart was not to bo weighed In the amo scale as the brewer's vat and the dU- ller's tub. Only the blindness nnd atulty of those who hnvo not studied ho question led them to declare that prohibl- Ion does not prohibit. Mulno has had pro- ilbltlon for forty years and thcio has not een a brewery or distillery within her bor ers for thirty years. Rhode Island voted down irohlbltlon , ft is said , so did Mulno after try- ng it two years , but afterward voted It back n the constitution by 53,000 majoilty and has opt it thcro ever since. The government was described ns a great illl that ground out hut ono product , produc- Ion for lire and prosperity. Nothing Impov- rished the boys lifto the saloon. If lie pigs and calvoi were In half as much danger M the boys uro from the sn- eon n special session of tholcglsl.ituro would 10 called to remedy the ovll. The greatest noinles of the boys were the saloon , the rambling room , and the den of Infamy , nnd t was thu business of tlio government to pro- ect that which was most valuable , nnd brow the safeguards of law about the home , nd not tlio saloon. The Christian man who vo uld vote for blgh.llconso was made to say 10 was not n Uosewator theorist , but vas deciding it on practical busl- less principles , nnd was told that 10 was Unking Mammon to the car of King Vlcohol by n chain of gold nnd was placing ilnisclf in the company of every highway * nan and housebreaker , every gambler nnd ) lasphemer , every man who was disreputable n Nebraska. The speaker Illustrated personal liberty by aying that when Hohmson Crusoo found the ootprlnts In the sand his personal llbeity was llvidcd by two , while the personal liberty of 'ach member of tlio audience was contlncd to ho circumscribed limits of the chair on which iosat , Ml have personal liberty to do just as their please -without Infringing on the per- onnlliberty of other ) . In conclusion the speaker described the po- itionof every voter against the amendment .o . bo either ignorant of the effects of the sa- eon , apathetic to lu effect. In complicity vith the saloon , or directly opposed to it. 'Tobody ' could plead ignorance of the fuel that ho drink- habit caused 50 per cent of tlio In anity and 75 pcrcentof thocriuioin the land. L'ho men who were apathetic or in complicity vith the saloon talked about judicious regu- ution. Past experience hnd taught her to bo- levo the word 1uilli > lnuwas derived romJudas. AIlssillamdeclared that If 'fobrnskn ' had the Australian system she had 10 doubt the nmondincut would carry. If vo lose the amendment , every true woman's ' heart , every lover 9ft-liomo , will voice the sentiment : "Wo haio ! not bojun to light yet. nnd wo will not giro up the light until irohlbltlon , state and national , shall rule the epublic from sea to sort and from shore to shore,1' " „ Beaver t'lty Notes.

It bad boon n race division , with nil Hint such a division could imply In the south. Itwould bo suicidal for the republican party to seat n man who led tlio bolt apnlnst tlio republican candidate. Ho said if there was llttlu law and less evi dence to sustain the contest , tlicro was still less republicanism. Ho was confident tbat there never could bo n stronp and oflectlvo republican party In the south until there were enough -white men In It to make It stronaund effective.

The republican party in the south could not bo built upon negro votes alone.

Cmcino , Sapt. 17. [ Special Telegram to Tun Dci : . | The Rode Island road lias formed a now route to Slou * City which , to competing roads , will prove a demoralising factor in all business from northwestern points. The route consists of the Hock Island , Burlington , Cedar Rapids & Northern ana sioux uuy K jNortaorn roaus. under the mlloiigo tariff of the Iowa commission the length of this route will extend the Sioux City rates to a point within fifteen miles of Sioux Falls. This point has always tnlan rates S per cent higher than Sioux City , but owing to the Goat's Horn route of the Koclc Island , the rates , must bo practically the same. Consequently the Illinois Central road has given notice that on September 2J It will apply Sioux City rates at Sioux Falls. On being notified of this action the Lake Superior lines Immediately took stem to meet the reduced rates via St , Paul and Duluth. fuul the consequence will bo a reduction of 8 per cent and upwards from all Dakota and we'd tern points. At this morning's meeting of western lines It was decided to malcograin r.itm from Sioux City a cents higher than from Om.uw. The formation of the now route of the Koclc Island was uot known , it being considered th.it Sioux City was not a competitive point of either tho. Uoek Island or Alton , In pursu ance of yesterday's ' resolution , there fore , the order of the interstate commerce commission for a 20-ccnt rate from all Alissouil river points was to be Ignored. The Hock Island will upset this , however , by making n 2J-ceut raw from Sioux City , and of course the rate will bo carried to Sioux Falls and points farther west , thus tumbling rates in a manner which It is feared by railroad men will lead to ex tensive demoralization , The Koclc Island will nUo reduce grain rates in Kansas nud Nebraska and will apply the reduced wheat rate on Hour Jand the reduced corn rate on mill stuff , rye nnd barley. Competing lines cliilin the Itock Island will break the western lYelght association agreement by olther'actlon and the result hcertain to bo u wrangle , ns the competitors of the Hock Island have not madottio reductions mentioned in thelrtarllTs operative October 1 , and tbo Hock Island will bo the only lo.id making them. The above subjects liavo created more 111 feeling among the freight men than has existed in six months. Chairman Goddnrd of the Wcitorn Passen ger association ha accepted the chairman- shlpof the Southwestern HailroadandStcam- ship association , ThU afternoon Mr. God- dard said lie was not yet at liberty to toll what oillco ho bad ac cepted , but later the nbovo was learned from tno most uiicpueitioned authority. This assochtion Includes all the lines \veit and south of Kansas City nnd the gulf lines of steamers. The salary of the chairman is $18,000 a year. The natural place for the headquarters of the chairman Is cither at St. Louis or Unlvoaton , but Mr , Goddard re fused to jnovo away from Chicago and his services were in such demand that lib wishes were recognized and ho will occupy perma nent onici'3 here. Chairman Flnlny of the Train-Missouri association today accepted the chairmanship of the Western 1'a.ssongcr association and will relieve Chairman Goddard on October 1. The passenger department of the Trans- Missouri has been absorbed by the Western Passqnger and it is now the cxpreiscd in tention to merge tbo freight department into the Western Freight association , thus effectIng - Ing a saving of f WO.bOO a year.
