HUNTINGTON, w. VA, April 26.
All citizens looked forward with
considerable interest and anxiety
to see what action the Council
would take on the liquor question
at its last Wednesday night meet
ing. The Councilmen had been
caucussing more or less on the
question, and it leaked out some-a
how that the license fee would be
increased and that the number of
saloons would be reduced. This
being pretty generally understood
amongst the saioonists, the ques-
ton that agitated their minds was.
"Who was to be who, and what was
to be what" When the Council
met the petitions that the ladies of
the w. G. T. U. sent in, asking
that no licenses be granted, were
quietly pigeon-holed on motion
to receive and file. A motion to
grant licenses was passed with two
dissenting votes. The fee was fix
ed at three hundred dollars, in
stead of one hundred dollars, as
formerly. Out of twenty-or.s mr.
p!ications for licenses, fourteen
were granted, making Eve less in
number than last year. One sa-
loonist agreed to pay the salary of
a policeman which his saloon ne
cessitates in the ne eh SoEhood of
the Round House. That .seetaon of
the city would be one of the saast
peaoeable and orderly neighbol

not there. The ladies of the w.

treatment their petitions received
at the hands of the Council. The
petitions signed by hundreds of
good citizens were not so much as
read in open Council. The "outsv

dissatisfied at the proceedings Of
the Council. The first because
their heads were so numerically
cut of, and the others on account.
of the increase of the license fee..
The favored ones have held a
meeting to consider what course to
pursue, and it is not known just
yet what they have decided on, but
it is said they have agreed on test
ing in the courts, the right of the
Council to increase the fee. The.
excitement here this week on the
liquor question has been intense,
and the temperance sentiment has
bounded forward at wonderful
rate. U u NIcoDEMUs. ri

The Committee on Resolutions.

CHICAGO, July 9.-The committee on plat
form held long and very animated session
at the rooms of the Iroquis club, tonight,
and after an exceedingly warm debate a com
promise resolution was agreed upon. The
report, which deals mainly with the tariff
question, was submitted by the sub-commit-
tee of eight, with a minority report from Gen.
Butler In the course of the debate the lat
ter made strong and forcible speech. He
held that the revenue system was false
throughout and entirely unconstitutional.
During his speech he argued for reduction of
the tariff on the necessaries Of life, claiming
that the revenue should come from the lux
uries and in such manner as to afford the
most relief to the poor man. He also argued
that the internal revenue funds should be
applied to the relief Of the veteran soldiers
and sailors. The tariff resolution was signed
by seven of the committee. 1t refers to the
unjust system of taxation, and cites as an
illustration the surplus of 500, 000, 900 in
the treasury. 1t declares that all I'M
necessary taxation is unjust, and holds the
Republican party responsible for the
heavy burdens placed upon the people. The
relief sought, it holds, must come from the
Democratic party. The tariff, it is argued,
must be revised in the interest of the work
iugmen, and in such manner to not re-
suit in a decrease of wages. The principle
enunciated is that the luxuries should be
made to bear the burden, and that the tax
should not exceed the actual expense of the
government economically administered.
The platform also contains vigorous
plank on the Chinese question. After adj
minis.ering a crusher to the heather Chinee,
some attention is devoted to the subject OF
river improvements, and plank is added
fayoring extensive Improvements on the
Mississippi river and tributary water
courses.
The platform was warmly criticised by
Gen. Butler He made vigorous speech,
saving that the resolutions were handicapped
nv uegations, and that while its trainers
claimed that it did not hurt anyone they
failed to show how it would accomplish any
good

THERE are in Ohio seventeen Republican
papers published in the German language.
Every one of these papers has bolted the
nomination made at Chicago in June, and
all opposing Blaine. These papers exert an
important influence and possess great po-
ltical strength in that state. The German
vote in Ohio is the balance of power, .and
as the Germans go, so goes the state. The
prospect that Blaine will not carry Ohio gives
his managers great concern. 1t is a loss
that they know is fatal.

NEARLY one hundred persons were poisoned
the other day in the neighborhood of Fulton
street and Carlton avenue, New York, by eating
adulterated ice cream. Most of the persons
were made very sick, but none died, though
some were very low at last dates. The afflicted
ones were in families who had purchase ice
at the store of G. II. Gerkey. S29 Fulton street.
The physicians attribute the poisoning to copper
contained in the cream, the theory being that
the cream had been standing some time in the
freezers, which are generally made of copper,
but are lined with tin, which often wears off,
leaving the copper exposed. Acetate of copper
in very small doses is sometimes used as an
emetic. Thus danger turks everywhere, in the

family food preparations.
