THE MORRISON BILL.
It's Prospective Effect on Both Pa,
Ties.

When the Morrison bill is called up In the
House there will be considerable pent.up
wind expended by the Democratic leaders on
both sides OF the tariff question. Frank Hurd,
Morrison, Sam Cox and Colonel Blackburn
VIII crack the whip for the passage OF the BILL
These gentlemen Will take the ground that
the defeat OF the bill means the dissolution or
the Democratic party, while Randall, Boyle,
Lamb ana Converse VIII contend that tho pas
sage of tho measure Will cause tho Republi-
cans 10 sweep the country In November next.
Altogether 1t will no doubt be an Interesting
fight-for tho Republicans. 1t is believed that
the Republican members Will sit quietly by Ia
Democratic brethren 90 each other up.

Let The streefs Alone.

Mr. Springer Qll.) has prepared bill which
he Will Introduce In the House revlying tho
OLD scheme for the remaining of the streets In
Washington running east and west substitu-
ting the names Of eminent men in the history
of the country whose initials correspond with
the present letters. Thus, streets are
Greene, II to Thomas and Tilden, and so on.
This scheme has boen urged before but was
not favorably received. 1t was thought better
TO reserve tho names OF persons for interme-
tween q and H. Riggs, for the same, between
and s, and 80 on.

THE OUTLOOK
For the Democratic Delegation 20
Chicago.

There is but one thing that seems settled
about the Democratic Convention, and that is
that Dickson will be selected as one OF tho dele
gates TO Chicago. The names OF T.. ID. Wright,
]. It. Luttrell and II. O. Hewitt are mentioned,
from among whom the other delegates will DO
chosen.
W. p. Bell seems to lead for the position OF
chairman, while Mr.. Watson Boyle Is fro
quently named as secretary.
II Is certain that q sentiment in favor OF
Tilden pervades the delegates, and 1t Is by no
means improbable that q resolution 10 instruct
for Tilden Will be introduced. Even II this Is
not done care Will be taken to select no dele
gate who is not known to be for him.

late International Sanitary Conference, has
recovered the watch which no complained
was stolen from him last Saturday night,
while entering his boarding-house, ia East
Seventeenth street, no Is satisfied TO allow the
$50, which he says was stolen from him, 10
go 10 reward the thief. AT the private detec-
live agency, TO which no went before he told
his story TO the police, 1t is said that the
thieves are we'll known, but have not been
arrested, because "rho Enendi does not care
10 push his complaint, and would hurt our
business" on Sunday afternoon the Enendt
called at tho Twenty-nlnth Precinct
station and told Captain Williams that while
he had been feeling In his pocket the night
before for his latch-key he had been robbed,
He said nothing In relation 70 the assault
which he afterward mentioned 70 reporters,

his friend was not nj that time under inc IN

HAVE WE AN OPEN SALOON !,

This question has been asked q good
many times lately, and the response
has been pretty generally in the at.
firmative. Whether intoxicating
liquors are sold over the bar to every
caller or not, the fact remains patent
to all, that the prohibitory law is be-
ing constantly and defiantly violated
i'm lola, and it seems to us time that
temperance and law abiding people OF
The town were entering their protest.
Even under the old dram shop act,
lola did not have saloon one year In
three, and we cannot think that she
will long submit to one under prohibi-
ton. If the county attorney cannot
get sufficient evidence to warrant him
in beginning prosecution, thep 1t
would seem that prosecutions might
be begun by the city attorney under
the ordinance published last week. If
the hands of both these officials are
bound by late decisions of the supreme
court, then let Grand Jury be Or
dered. The nullifiers must be made
In some way. to feel the weight of the
law. The saloons must go.
