AGAINST PROHIBITION.

| I here was a very fair and representative attendance at tho King's Theatre, Te Karaka, last evening to hear Mr W. D! Lysnar deliver his address against nolicense. Mr Chum Brown was voted to the chair. Mr Lysnar was accorded a very good healing. He followed the lines of his addresses m other places. At the conclusion of the .meeting a large number of questions were asked, including some by Messrs Burgess and Carlile. Mr Carlile asked Mr Lysnar if iv the event of the law. being altered so as to stop grog coming into the district would he join bands with the prohibitionists and work for prohibition. Mr Lysnar said that he would not promise to work with them, but he would* promise them that he would not work against them. So long as the prohibition people opposed amendment of the law m this direction as intended hf clause 9 he would continue to oppose no-license. It was practically tempting Providence and inducing people to become law breakers. This was one of the main points that he split with the prohibitionists on. If they Wanted ''prohibition it should be complete, and not let liquor come m except for luedicina) purposes. At j when it was proposed to close the meet- ' ing, the audience desired to go on, and further questions being asked the meeting was carried 'on till after 11, when a vote of thanks was proposed and carried with cheers. 'The usual vote to the chair terminated a very good meeting. >-Coni'rii\inica.ed and published by ar-
