NO APPEARANCE, YOUR WORSHIP.

LIQUOR AND LABOR TO-NIGHT. This was the report when Mr William Thomson was given the opportunity lo prove those boastful assertions of which he has been so prolific during the last few months. He had left for Invercargill by the first express !!! Boasters are as old as the liquor traffic, and make as miserable a show when the inflated bladder of their ' boasting is pricked as does the liquor traffic itself when faced by a fearless and eloquent advocate. If Mr Thomson is sincere in his statements he will give up his small meetings and hurry back to Dunedin and face the music. To-night's address is entitled 'Liquor and Labor.' Mr W. Warren, the wellknown and popular Labor advocate, will take the chair. The mission has so far been of a ~part.lv religious character, but to-night's theme, being of a purely social and economic type, the meeting will be in accord with the spirit of the subject chosen and be purely secular. The offer to Mr William Thomson of better than half time upon the stage holds good for to-night. An open-air meeting will be held at the Octagon at 12.15 tomorrow if the weather is fine, arid a meeting for wo*ien only at the Garrison Hall at three o'clock in the afternoon. By arrangement.] [No-license par No. 12.
