Weston, this State. is greatly ex.
cited over the whisky question.
The County Commissioners have re-
fused license for several years, but
the saloons detied the law because
the Prosecuting Attorney and Coun-
ell were on their side, and aided and
abetted the yiolators of the law.
The people were powerless, except
to denonnce the actions of the au-
thorities. Lately, Mr.. Brannon, a
plucky young man, was appointed
Mayor to fill vacancy. He began
to enforce the laws so long disregard
ed and fined and jailed the violators
of the liquor laws. This caused a
bitter fight between the Mayor and
Council, in which the Mayor was
strongly. backed by the people. The
Council, controlled by the whisky
rings, met and repealed the saloon
keepers ordinance. This so en-
ragged the people that mass meet
ing, several thousand strong, was
held and resolutions passed denounc-
ing the fraudulent action of the
Council, and characterizing it as
revolutionary. What the result will
be cannot be told, but it has caused
much bitter feeling, and shows the
necessity and importance of having
public officers who are with the peo-
pie and have the courage to enforce
the laws and ordinances.

AT THE NATIONS CAPITAL.
WASHINGTON, D. G., August Is.

WASHINGTON, D. G., August 49,
The Republican congressional
has started into its cam
paign work with a light heart and a
free hand, for the duties win be
pleasant, as there is so much matter
to handle and distribute rejecting
to the good OF the Republican party.
The committee need only take the
Presidents message and see what a
Democratic House has done to help
along the Presidents recommends
tions. With the fishery question,
for instance, nothing has been done.
In the matter of the continuation
of the Mexican treaty the Demo
cratic majority of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House all
voted in favor of its abrogation.
They treated the Hawaiian treaty
the same way. Nothing was done
for the survey OF the frontier line be-
tween Alaska and British Columbia.
Nor was anything done to repeal the
act relative to trust funds held by
the government. The House did
not pay any attention to the correc-
ton OF naturalization laws, as re-
quested by Mr.. Cleveland. The
President particularly advocated the
increase of appropriations for main.
tenance of the diplomatic and con.
sular service, so that the representa-.
tiyes Of the government abroad
might live at least with the neces-
sary comforts of life. What did the
House do with this! Perry Belmont
offered bill, but the Appropriations
Committee, manipulated by Ran
dali and Holman, made the appro-
priations smaller and meaner, if pos.
sible, than ever before. Not only
did they refuse to increase the
amounts, but the House would not
listen to purchasing necessary quar-
ters for legations liz China, Japan,
Corea, Siam, Persia. etc. Then the
revision of the tariff, as necessary in
some branches, was killed off by the
free traders. Nothing could be done,
toward suspendlng silver coinage !;
indeed, the Democrats tried to pass
a bill for unlimited silver coinage.
The signal service was not transfer.
red from the War Department to
the Interior, as requested. No
change of law for court-martial, or a
law for building bridges over navi-
gable waters, or modification OF laws
relating to public land, or laws for
prevention of the importation of
disease among cattle, or laws regu-
lating fees for marshals and district
attorneys, Or bill to make new
assistant postmaster general as
greatly needed by the increase of
postal service. None of these were
passed. Nor did the Democratic
House comply with the Presidents
request in regard to the new navy.
tnsteads they cue down the Naval
Appropriation bill and passed an
emasculated bill only as a starter.
The court dockets are over hardened,
and new Judges were asked for and
not given. Nor was the Indian

When the train stopped the conductor was
