The Tariff Bill to be Called ON Thursday.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Mr. Morrison, in
an interview with a reporter of the Associ-
ated Press to-day, said he would surely move
to consider the Tariff bill on Thursday. He
said very candidly he could not speak posi-
lively as to the chances of success-it all de-
pended on the votes of the New York Demo
cratic members, and had from the first. The
Committee of Ways and Means was entirely
harmonious and could have brought in or
called up bill at any time since February,
but he had deemed it unsafe to do 50 know
ing that he could not succeed without New
York. The fact that the bill was favored by
the administration had led him to expect
nearly a unanimous vote of its friends in that
State-but he had finally determined TO call
up the bill without knowing more on the
subject than he did at frst-except that as
he was encouraged by the late correspon-
dence between the President and Secretary
Manning. If the motion is defeated, he said,
it will be by the votes of the Democratic
members from New York, who he might
reasonably expect them to be with the ad
miniStratiOn.

Tie disappearance of Henry Peters, one
al the most important witnesses OF the
murder of Rev. Mr.. IIaddock, who is be-
lieyed to have been killed by assassins in
the employ Of the Sioux City liquor deal
crs, whom Mr.. IIaddock was active in
prosecuting, is now nearly established as
another murder. On October 4 the body
of a stranger was found in the Willows,
about n mile from Crescent, near Council
Bluffs, 1t was badly dccomposed and
could not be identified. The place where
the body was found was ore which could
he reached by a skiff coming down the
Missouri, and it is thought that the men
came down the river after the IIaddeck
murder, brought the body Of this man and
hid it there. The body was buried in the
Potter's Field at Council Bluffs, but on
Tuesday an examination Of the clothing
was made, leading to the almost complete
Identification of Peters. 1t is thought that
he, too, was killed by the lIaddock muir
dererS to prevent his revealing the first as
saSsin.

The Republicans seem to take it greatly
to heart that the foolish Prohibitionists
should persist in running candidates Of
their W instead of supporting the Repub-
lean ticket. One might suppose that the
g. o. p. had a first mortgage or a mechan-
les lien or an attachment or something on
the Prohibition vote, but for our part we
fail to see where the party is entitled to
any consideration at the hands of the Pro
hibition voters. When the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union sent their
committee to the Republicans convention
in 1894, asking a recognition Of the tenn
perance question in the platform, they had
to fight for even the privilege to state their
request, and when it was stated it is on
record that 'Fthe audience Uttered and
their request was tabled. When, later on,
the standard bearer of the party was called
upon to vote IN the question of constitu-
tional prohibition in his own State he
''dodged" and set the example The party
has been following ever since IN the most
pitiful manner. During the Whole cam
paign of "a the Republican organs teeined
with abuse and yillification of the Prohibi-
ton party and its candidates everywhere
and after the election the flood gates were
opened and Islander, hanging in efligy and
direst threats were the order Of the day,
until we wondered whether this were in
deed a land Of freedom and whether the

with the Republican brethren. Neverthe-
less the foundation of the Prohibition
party stands sure and will continue to stand
in spite of lodging, threats, ndicule 0 rpre-
tended friendship manifested in bogus rc-
form planks and the Prohibitionists this
year will turn in a vote that will open
wide the eyes of men in both the old par
ties and cause them TO east about for a
way to escape the political wrath TO come.

The Philadelphia Press makes the sur
prising discovery that the Prohibitionists
are seeking political power. Bless your
simple soul, how long has it taken you to
find that ont? What IS a powerless party
good for in carrying ont its measures 3?
Somebody keeps discovering every little
while that the Prohibitionists want the
offices. Certainly they do. Who executes
the laws if not the Office holders. We want
political power to enact laws for the prohi-
bition OF the rum traffic, and we want the
offices filled with Prohibition office holders
to enforce the laws when enacted. The
Prolibitionists are playing for keeps. We
want our men in the legislature, in the
Governors chair, on the Judges bench, in
the prosecutors Office, clerks, sherif's,
constables, justices OF the peacc-in every
official position in fact where influence can
be exerted against rum and the run bust
ness, we van to put a Prohibitionist.
The rum traffic has had its tools in these
places about long enough.

One morning a few weeks 9 | called
on one of the leading Proilibitionists in
Philadelphia.
He said two years ago he went TO the
polls to vote on election day. To exercise
this privilege he had to do what a great
many voters in that city are forced to do
deposit his ballot in q box in a bar-rcom.
Five or six Republicans gathered around
him urging him not to throw away his vote
on the Prohibition ticket, bat to vot. with
the Republicans once more, because it was
a better temperance party than the Demo-
cratic party.
you ought to be ashamed TO talk ihat
way to me" said he; 'to ask me, Il Pro-
h%ibitionist, to vote with the Republican
party. This is a strong Republican state,
this city is oiliceied by Republicans, this
tavern in which | am forced to vote If |
vote at all, is a rum hole licensed by Re
publicans, and although according TO the
laws Of this state it is Illegal to sell intox-
icants within one mile Of the poll on cleo
ton day, this tavern keeper is selling Re
publican whiskey in sight OF this ballot
box and you are not making the slightest
effort to enforce the law. Don't let me
hear another word from you about Tie Re
publican party being the Temperance
party"
The Republicans left him and the tavern
keeper began to curse him. The Prohibit
zionist had him promptly arrested for his
abusive language, his license was revoked
and he made an assignment to his son who
had the license renewed and carried the
business right on at the old stand.-Fosffr,

To illustrate the dangers that arise from
the numerous drinking places along the
Morre5town turnpike. l will relate a bit
of personal history.
A short time ago man in my employ
was dispatched with 4 load of truck to
Moorestown. While on the way he vas
induced to drink freely. The tale is soon
told. He was lured to a saloon i'll West
Philadelphia, where he was kept for one
week OH a terrible debauch. To get
money he pawned my horse and wagon for
over 800. When it was asccrtained by
the saloonists that he did not own the
horse and wagon the poor fellow was cast
into prison until the bill was paid.
Through pity for his family and ON solemn
pledge given by him | took him out of
prison and reinstatcd the man in my en-
ploy.
All went we'll until 4 week or more since.
When on a trip to the market lie WAS entic-
ed into one Of the numerous rum holes and
made drunk. Instead Of returning home
he went to Broad street, Philadelphia, and
sold my horse and wagon and forged my
name. He was arrested and. having no
defence, was committed to Jail. All the
defence he made was to say, ''Rum did it,"
He is i'll Moyamensing now, and his wife
and lovely children are desolatc. Rum
did it. r-Nathan &. IsrAiasin Temperance

Francis Murphy says @The political
third party has not got a man to sign the
pledge that I know Of" That's all right,
Francis. Oar observation is that the men,
bers of the political third party are among
the most active in every other line OF
Temperance work. Having signed the
pledge themselves they naturally set to
work to remove by law the obstacles
that lie in the way of other men who have
signed the pledge and the temptations that
surround them. You continue in youl
line TO get all you can to sign the pledge.
The Prohibitionists will continue 10 dc
all they can to enable them to stand stead
fast by the assistance Of temperance legis-
lation and temperance officials.

And now the mud Singing organs are
busy circulating the falsehood that Frank
G. Smith, the renowned Prohibition speak
er at work in Cumberland County. had
been arrested for cruelty to animals in
overdriving a horse. The facts of the case
were simply hat Mr.. Smith had a horse
engaged for three days by the Prohibition
committee but having missed 4 train he
was compelled to drive to Yineland and
did not return the team till half a day after
the stipulated time. The livery man,
egged on by the political foes of Mr..
Smith, brought suit against him by sum
mons for extra hire of the team, but the
Justice before whom the case was brought,
ON the hearing dismissed it. Now let the
