The republican press and politicians
over the Eleventh congressional district
which Mr.. Neece has carried at two sue
cessive elections. They intend to make
determined effort to defeat him this year,
and the Chicago Tribune has started the
following story about hun:
During the deliberations it came out
that Niece had already begun the work
OF organization to capture the labor vote,
through which he has been enabled 10
twice gain the election. Heretofore he
has operated on the labor vote of the
larger towns, especially Rock Island, aud
has held it almost solidly through the
manipulatious of Danforth, the editor of
the Rock Islander Il labor organ. Late
ly, however. there have been indications
tina. Danforth was losing his grip on that
vote. 1t Is fast dividing aud it is no
longer possible for Danforth to trade ii
to Neece in a body. A new plan ha to
be adopted, but the willy William was
equal to the emergency. He therefore
concocted scheme TO organ lie the farm
labOrcrs into = sort of Knights of Labor.
Ostensibly the object OF the organization
Is to shorten the hours of farm hands but
it is really intended to band the farm
laborcrs of the district together in the
support of Niece The plan is to send
an organizer into each township. and the
work has already begun in Warren coun-
~. There is very good evidence that the
money used comes from Washington. at
which point Niece Is now conducting his
campaign When this scheme was un-
folded 10 the congressional committee.
steps were taken To counteract it, and
Mr. Neece's efforts IN that direction may
prove abortive.
While it is true that the labor party of
this county has repudiated old Danforlh
still Mr. Niece will receive the support Of
that class, 20 a large extent ut least.

Regulating the Process for Making
whisky Vinegar.
WASHINGTON CITY, July s. The ways
and means committee has reported bill en-
tirely changing the process of making
whisky vinegar The report Of the commit
tee says.
II nder the law as it now is, the manu-
featuring of vinegar by the process of
IMPORTATION can be used successfully As a
fraud on the revenue 1t was proved be-
fore the committee that by this process
four gallons of proof spirits can be manu-
featured from bushel OF corn, that more
than 81 per cent of spirits in addition to
that needed in the vinegar can be success
fully md in barrel of vinegar and by re-
dstilistion can be separated therefrom
that fraud has been perpetrated on the
revenue by factories claiming to be vinegar
factories The tax on spirits is from SOC to
400 per cent greater than the cost of pro-
duction. A gallon of vinegar can be manu-
featured by this process at, perhaps, from
1 to cents and spirits at ia cents a
gallon"
The bill repeats the law Of June u, 1872,
relative to vinegar factories and their pro
eeeds to enact that no mash or wort for dis,
distillery, and no person but an authorized
distiler shall separate the alcoholic spirit
from any such mash or wort, and no person
shall use alcoholic spirits in the manu-
facture of vinegar or anything else unless
they were made in en- authorized distillery
