DIsAGREEiNG LIQUOR DEALERS
The Illinois Liquor Dea'ers' AssOcia' ion
Sharply Crisicise the Action oi Western
ID sttilers Favoring Clnsing Saloons on
Sunday and Higher Licenses.


CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-At a meeting of the
state executive committee of the Illinois
Liquor Dealers and Brewers, association this
afternoon, the action of the Western dstillers
at the recent meeting here in the passage of
resolution fayoring au orderly Sabbath and
high license to crush out disreputable saloons,
and deprecating bringing the liquor
question in politics was discussed,

tions passed making personal attack
on II. B. Miller, author o f the resolutions and
president of the Distillers' association. The
preamble statts:
Experience has demonstrated that prohib;-
tory and sumptuary legislation increases the
consumption of cheap and poisonous alcohol,
thereby increasing drunkenness and decreas-
ing the consumption of higher and healthier
drinks, such as beer, wine, and the better
class of spirituous liquors. That Fl. B. Miller in
1873 was elected treasurer of Cook county on
the strength of his speeches denouncing the
closing Of saloons on Sunday, whereas he now
takes the opposite position. Referring to his
connection with the crooked whisky
prosecutions of 1876, the resolutions close:
Resolred, We congratulate temperance
fanatics upon receiving the co operation of
former convicts and manufacturers of cheap
alcohol.
Resolred, Under no circumstances will we
permit mere handful of distlllers, who never
had any backing on the part of voters, to in
terfere with our organization and the national
association of the brewers and wholesale and
retail liquor dealers and manufacturers of
pure and healthy spirituous liquors,
merely for the purpose of influencing
congressional legislation in their favor at the
expenseof the balance of the trade, and Just
and liberal legislation on The subject of the
liquor traffic generally.
The split in the anti-prohibition ranks thus
inaugurated is likely to play promin. Mt part
in the politics of this state.

Il Polite Man
TEXAS Siftings |

Several Austio gentlemen were
talking about polite men they had met,
when an old German named Fritz said the
politest man he ever heard was his uncle.
'What did your uncle do?" asked Gilhooly.
"Vell, ,yon see, he vas in a sheep and dot sheep
strike rock and go dot vasser down. Ali
lie passengers Vas drowning dot vasser in and
mine uncle, too. Shust pefore he go dot
vasser down mine uncle dakes off his hat and

tlemsns, l haf de honor to- pid you

ser in.p Everybody present said Fritz's uncle
was very courageous and polite except Gill
hoolly, who remarked in his usu,l cynical
manner, .'I don't think your uncle was polite
at all, Fritz, He evidently had no manners.
for he should have waited until the other pas
sengers went down instead of crowding down
ahead of them, particularly as there were la
dies in the crowd. He was a selfish brute
that's what he was"

The District Appropriations.

IMPORTANT DECISION OF CONTROLLER LAWRENCE
THE DRAWBACK CERTIFICATES QUESTION.
Under the act OF Congress June "a, 1879, the Dis
tr1ct Commissioners were authorized to issue
drawback certificates TO persons who had been as
sessed for improvements TO larger amount than
was just. Certificates were issued to the amount
OF $2a0, 600, which have been received In payment
OF taxes The act OF March 3, 1881, making appro-
prations for the District provided that one-hail of
the expenses OF the District should be paid from
the District revenues and one-half out
OF the United States Treasury, and
that the Commissioners I'm making requi-
sitionS for the fiscal year 1882 might, include
one half OF all taxes paid in drawback certificates.
Only part OF these certificates received I'm the
current year, most OF them having been received
In payment OF taxes In prior years. The question
was presented whether the general treasurer
should advance for District expenses FOR 1882 sum
equal only TO the drawback certificates re-
ceived during that year or for the whole
amount or all the certificates. Judge
Lawrence, First Controller or the Treasury,
has notified the appropriation committees OF both
houses OF Congress that he would hold that the
Treasury was 10 advance q sum equal 70 the
whole amount of all the drawback certificates,
unless Congress should otherwise determine by a
provision OF law at the present session This will
make difference OF about $500, 600 In favor OF the
District The decision Is based the act OF 1881,
which says the advance from the general treasury
shall cover the draw back certificates, including
one half OF all general taxes paid I'm draw back
certificates and upon the manifest justice OF max
Ing provisions for those received In prior years a.
well as during the current year.
