WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 1.-THE friends
of temperance are very much inclined to
growl about the makeup of the house conf
mtttee on tie alcoholic liquor traffic They
say that the speaker has not given them
fair show in making up the committee. To
begin with, the chairman voted against the
appointment of any committee on this
subject. Go did all his Democratic
associates on the committee, aud
so did one of his Repubh-
can associates. There are nine members OF
the committee. OF the nine Y or seven
voted against the creation OF sUch com
mtttee. OF the three who voted in favor Of
having such a committee for appearance
sake, two have a record of having opposed
in the last congress, the adoption of bill for
the appointment of Il commission on the sub
ject. The temperance foll,S think it queer

has been filed in the common pleas court by

Cleveland, making application to dissolve
the corporation Of Brown, Bonnell & Co,

of all. The petitioners further say
that they represent $500, 900 of the 81 500,
900 of capital stock, and that during the past
two years the works have not paid per cent.
