THE INEBRIATE ASYLUM BILL, Senators who are interested in the bill which proposes to appropriate money for the erection here of an inebriate home are discuss- ing the section which provides that the District of Columbia shall be taxed for one-half of the first and continuing cost of the justitution. Many of them think this proposi- tion inequitable and they insist that as jthe affair is nothing but an experiment it should be paid for by the general government, Not one patient in one hundred, they argue, would be a bona fide resident of the District, and it would be manifestly unfair to saddle upon the people of this city a burden from which it would receive no ma- terial benefit, The great majority of those whose hquor-soaked frames would be placed under treatment, would be residents of the = who would come here for the purpose of having a good time, REPORTED TO THE SENATE.

GAGE’S OPENING REMARKS, It was about 11 o'clock when Mra, Gage ascended the platform and rapped for the meeting to come to order. She began by say- ing: ‘‘In consideration of the boast that I have been the prime mover in organizing this con- vention I shall take upon myself the liberty of considering myself temporary chairman,and as such I shall appoint Mr. Wm. F. Aldrich of Alabama temporary secretary. He will please read the call for a meeting.” This Mr. Al- Grich did. The call ended with the words: “Therefore not alone to aid her own en- franchisement—vaiueless without religious liberty—but in order to help preserve the very life of the republic, it is imperative that women should unite upon a platform of oppo- sition to the teaching and aim of that ever most unscrupulous enemy of treedom—the church.” ‘These words were greeted with enthusiastic applause, rage ON THE PLATFORM. Besides Mrs, Gage and Mr. Aldrich there were assembled on the platform a number of the workers in the cause, among them being Jo- sephine ©. Aldrich, Susaid H. Wixon, Bertha M. Wixon, Dr. Mary Herma Aiken, Clara Faltz, Marietta M. Bones, Jane A. Mason, Elizabeth Lisle Saxon, Nelke Bb. Simmons, Mary Emily Bates Coues and Voltairin de Cleyre, The secretary read a number of letters attest- ing the interest of the writers in the new movement, One from a western lady said: “I am unable to attend the convention, but I have done what I can for the cause. I have five noble boys, who are free from the hold of to- bacco, whisky and the church, and they will work for the movement.” A poem of encour- agement comes all the way from California. It was called, “God in the Constitution,” It meant well, but it was a little laine in its meter, probably footsore from the divtance it had come, THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS, * Mrs. Aldrich was called to the chair while Mrs, Gage rose to deliver her inaugural ad- dress. It was long, but it was earnest, and several times during its delivery. Mra, Gage waxed decidedly eloquent in depicting the greatness of our country and the dangers which, she said,threatened it from the encroachments of the church, which she termed the “strongest bulwark of woman slavery,” Mrs, Gage took for her subject “The needs of the hour.” In the course of her remarks she spoke of many topics, but devoted most of her attention to the church. Especially did she criticise the church for attempts to get once more the control of the Someeto arrangements of life, notably marriage and divorce. Marriage she termed a civic and not a _ religious contract, She complained that most of the wulyersis #, even inciuding Vassar, have ministers at their heads. Mrs. Gage ergned against the Sunday rest law and every other attempt to tresspass upon her ideas of personal freedom, After the reading of a few announcements by the secretary the meeting was declared ad- journed until 3 o'clock this afternoon.

He said that he did not know exactly what the effect would be. He was, however, confident that the railroad bill would become a jaw. He thought the state senate would pass the bill perhaps today. The governor, as shown in his message presenting the proposition of the railroad company to the legisiature, was ily in favor of the meas- ure. He had no doubt but that the bill would become a law, and as far as he had been able to leara the railroad was favored by the people living ok and dependent upon the canal, with but few exceptions. There might, he be legal questions = rawed by Pgs receivers as well as those whose inter- ests were opposed to the railroad, These would have to be determined, but with the prompt action of the legislature the proposed measure of relief would be greatly expedited.
