port upon the general question to which
this message refers. His motion was the
ordinary motion made here under circum-
stances that surround us at this moment.
Mr.. EdmundS (Sotto voce)-Oh.
Mr.. Harris have no earthly obiec-
ton to this message going to the com
mittee on the judiciary if the Senator
from Vermont desires it to go there. but
it is unusual, because the subject matter
of the message has already been reported
on by the Senator from Vermont. and
therefore, in accordance with the unbrok-
Ell usages of this body, | moved that the
message be printed and lie upon the
table.
The chair-The Senator from Tennes-
see (Mr. Harris) moved that the message
be printed and lie on the table.
Mr.. Edmunds-The Senator gave way
to me and | made Il motion to refer.
Mr.. Harris-I first made motion to
print and lie on the table, and on the
suggestion of the Senator from YER
mont, modified it to motion to print.
Then the Senator from Vermont Mr.. Ed
mund) suggested that he would move, or
did move, to refer to the committee on
the judiciary. That is an exact state
ment of the transaction.
Mr.. Edmunds-Ges, but the Senator
from Tennessee has a perfect right to
move to print and lay on the table pend
ing my motion, and on that call for the
yeas and nays.
Mr.. Harris-I make that motion to
print and to lay on the table, and on that
| join the Senator from Vermont in the
call for the yeas and nays.
Mr.. Harris motion was defeated by a
party vote-yeas, ~; nays, 32-Mr Rid

Democrats in favor of the motion.

Hoar first inadvertently voting eyes"
and Immediately correcting himself.
Mr.. Vance told him that Eyes" was
right. Laughter
The question recurring on Mr.. Ed
munds motion referring the message to
the judiciary committee and ordering it
printed, it was agreed to without division.

FLORIDA'S FOOLISH SENATOR.

From the Springfield Republican
Senator Jones of Florida is biz,
smooth-faced widower with a numerous
brood of children. who looks something
like Tom Reed of Maine. He has been
credited with the average amount of
sense, and a few years ago, after he had
visited the home of his ancestors in the
Emerald Isle, his views regarding the
Irish question were widely quoted. He
has at least once addressed convention
of Massachusetts Democrats, making
a speech that pleased the boys. But Just
now Jones's sanity is gravely called in
question by some of his colleagues in
the United States Senate.
Jones has not shown up in Washing
ton, but has been for long weeks out in
Detroit, Mich, Fostering rich girl to
marry him. The victim of his ardent
Irish wooing is Miss Palm. who is neither
very young nor surprisingly beautiful,
but is certain to inherit about $4,000, 900
worth of property. She not only cares
Il
way. but has actually grown afraid of
him and fled the city. 1t is alleged that
Jones saw her first at a dinner party and
then on the street, but he declared his
love at the second meeting in such impas-
stoned language that Miss Palm ran from
his side and slammed the door in the Sen
ator's face. An eX-mayor of the city.
who had stood sponsor for Jones. called
on him for an explanation, and when
the stateman said that he never should
leave Detroit without taking the object of
his alteration as his bride, the visitor was
convinced that the Senator must be out
of his head. Jones has showered letters
and flowers upon the unfortunate lady
until it is said that she has been obliged
to leave the city to escape his importuni-
ties. Senator Vance will try and per-
suade Jones to stop his foolishness and
come back to Washington, but meantime
the Florida people are Disguised, and
propose to retire Jones at the first OBJ
The jacksonville Times IN
ion says:
1t is not merely that senator Jones has for.
feited his chances OF reelection. To that re-
suit, apparently, he has already made up his
mind. BY his acts much more plainly than
by any words he could use, he has shown that
he is utterly Indifferent TO the opinions and
wishes of his constituents. 1t is not of the
chances of his success or failure i'm future
contest that the people of Florida are think.
ing just now. What they want now is that
Senator Jones repair to his post at once and
there perform the duties and render the ser
vices to which he is bound by his oath of
office and his compact with his constituents
If he cannot or will not do this, then they
want to be informed, SO that the vacancy can
be filled in the constitutional manner.

DR.. CROSBY'S QUERY.

DIR. Crosby, in a recent issue of the
Tribune, cites case in this city where a
saloon has been visited six times within
the last year by the police and an arrest
made each time for violation of the eX-
else laws. The first two arrests were
for Sunday selling, and the accused was
discharged in each case by the Judge.
Then the license for the place expired
and new one was not issued. But that
made no difference; liquor was sold right
ahead without license. The police
then pulled the place four times, the
first time on August %, 1885, and the
last time on January II, 1886. Not one
case has yet come to trial. Six times,
therefore, within year an arrest has
been made in the same place and, by the
obvious connivance of the Judges, the
violations of law have been winked at
Says DIR. Crosby:
"IIere, you see, notorious place has been
six times in il year visited by the police in
vain. The place is still as defiant OF law as
ever. The fault is not with the police force,
but with the police justices who discharge the
dtcuStu OF Int IlStilct-AttOrneN who pigeon
holes the cases. The law-breakers know that
their cases will never be tried, and so they
laugh ut the law and the police. This case |
nave given as sample of thousands"
And he asks in conclusion, "When will
our citizens arise and throttle this rum
curse, which defies law, reason and de-
cency? We answer, They will rise and
throttle this rum-curse Just as soon as
they can be brought to break the party
bonds that hold them to-day in thralldom.
and elect officers whose political affilia-
tons do not force them into compliance
with the behests of the saloon. DR..
Crosby has been for years fighting the
liquor traffic of this city. He has the
overwhelming public sentiment of the
city behind his back in his endeavor to
enforce the laws. He has a strong or
ganization and no meagre purses to sus-
tain him. And all his years of gallant
conflict have left this city growing
stencil in the noStrils of the nation. 1t
is time for something further. What
shall it be? \ high license law? If we
can't enforce low license law because
OF the colrupting power of the saloon,
how can high license law be enforced?
The great overwhelming fact we mu st
face is the power of the saloon in politics.
High license or low license, it is all the
same; the saloon is regulating the regu-
lators. The way to smash the saloon is
to smash it. DIR. Crosby and every other
man who has tried any other plan has
had to sit down and write failure on all
his efforts. 1t is time for radical meas
ures. Prohibition, with a Prohibition
party behind it, is the only effective way
of dealing with this monstrum horrend,tn,.

NOTES..

Mrs. Robson. an intelligent and ener-
getic Norwegian living at Blair, Neb.,
worked at the polls all day during IA re-
cent election, inducing large numbers
OF Scandinavians to vote the temperance
ticket.
In the report, in one of the New York
dailies, of notable social event-the civ
| ing of n reception by the Sorosis in hon
or of Mary Anderson recentlv-the sig-
niticant fact is noted that the menu diff
fered from similar affairs for men only
in "the entire absence of wine from the
table"
1t Is stated that, "as the immediate and
direct result of the ten unions established
by Mrs. Leavitt in New Zealand. that
country is deciding to abolish bar maids.
and petitions are being circulated, asking
Parliament to prevent liquor sales to
children, and to give woman an equal
ballot with man on the liquor question"
Senator Colquitt has declared in a
public address that he will introduce n
bill into the Senate to allow the people
of the District of Columbia to vote upon
the liquor question, and will press it to a
vote. 1t will be interesting to see how
the Conscript Fathers vote on allowing
the people 10 say what they wish.-Chris-

Mrs. Sarah b. Cooper is well known
on account of her noble. philanthropic
labors in san Francisco. For years she
has labored among the lower class es. es-
tablished kindergartens and primary in
dustrial schools. She has visited the
opium dens, seeking to rescue the
wretched beings who resort thither, and
has been active in exposing the traffic in
Chinese female slaves.
Its stated that Chinese firemen are now
employed on all the Glen line of steam
ers trading between London and China.
The engineers were averse to employing
Asiatics, but We're compelled to do so on
account of the unreliability, through
drink, of the British firemen. The gain
is not represented as consisting in saving
of wages by employing Cinnamon, but
in the absolute regularity with which
they performed their work.
Miss Narcissa White of Pennsylvania,
national organizer of w. c. T. L., is
