This letter cannot be disposed of by a
sneer that 1t was written for political effect.
For Mr.. Woodbury. has always been and is
still a Democrat. Nor can it be dismissed
with the declaration that 1t comes from
person who is not familiar with the subject
OF which 1t treats, for it is generally ac-
knowledged that no American is better in
formed on the subject than the Hon. Charles
Levi Woodbury.. Neither will it dispose OF
1t to say that Mr.. Woodbury. is counsel for
the American fishermen. For as counsel of
the fishermen he would look at the treaty
from the standpoint Of the interest of his
clients, the American fishermen, and 1t Is
acknowledged that it is from this standpoint
it should be viewed by Americans. 1t is
from this standpoint Mr.. Putnam claims to
have looked at it, Mr.. Putnam's and Mr..
Woodbury's conclusions are Numerically
opposite. Mr. Putnam thinks it should be
ratified as fair and equitable settlement of
dispute. But Mr.. Woodbury. says the con-
sequence of its adoption would be the "Ge-
struction of the fishery under the American
flag, the paralysis of our hope of naval
power, and British monopoly of our mar
kets, aggrandizing its dangerous naval
power" 1t will trouble Mr. Putnam good
deal to point out any speech or letter from a
Republican in which the treaty is condemned

The above is the Argus's latest exposition
of.the Mills bill. First 1t believes the bill is a
measure designed to reduce the surplus after
the manner outlined by the President in his
message. Let us see. The President in his
message opposed the removal Of any of the
internal revenue taxes. The Mills hin. or
Its supplement-. which is practically part of
the Dill, undertakes to remove considera-
Die part OF the surplus by reducing the tax
on tobacco. This is certainly not after the
manner outlined in the Presidents message.
but In direct conflict with it. However. that
was concession which the free traders felt
obliged to make to the Democrats of North
Carolina and Connecticut in order to carry
those States In the November election. We
are somewhat surprised to see the admission
that the bill is not perfect The bill is sum-
posed to represent the combined wisdom of
the Democratic members of the House. and
that to Democratic organ ought to be a suf
ncient guarantee of its perfection. But it is
formed on right principles" Now what are
these principles2 Certainly the principle of
equality is not one OF them. for salt Is put on
the free list, while rice is left protected to
the tune OF 100 per cent Certainly not
the principle Of cheapening the necessaries
OF life, for the tariff on suga is SO high
that 1t will still be sufficient to prevent any
reduction OF price. What then is its right
principle or principlcs9 The answer ia
found In Mr.. Mills's speech, In which he in
troduced the bill. In the speeches OF almost
almost all its supporters, and In the COM
mcnts OF the great majority of the Demo-
cratic organs, before they began to get
frightened. 1t Ia the principle Of tariff for
revenue only. That principle does undoubt-
ediy underlic the bill. Sometimes, to be
sure, 1t is violated, but the violations can
all be explained on the ground that
the general purpose of the bill could
not be accomplished without them. They
arc SO many brides for votes. The
Louisiana sugar planters were bribed with a
promise that their industry should not be
crippled; SO were the South Carolina rice
growers; SO were the West Virginia and
Georgia iron men; and SO were the North
Carolina and Connecticut tobacco growers
by promise of relief from part Of their
present taxation. We quite agree with the
Argus that the people Of the country can be
relied upon to give the bill its quietus, If
they are not deceived as to its true character.

In September 1879 Z meeting was
held 10 tent at Bismarck Grove to
organize the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union Of the State Of
Kansas. Mrs. NJ. b. Smith, Of Law
rence. was chosen president. and Mrs.
Anna Jenkine, Of Topeka, treasurer.
The report IT the meeting covered
only written half page. The report
of the first annual meeting held at the
same place in August 1879, IL some
what more lengthy. filling three WRIT
ten pages. The State treasurer at this
meeting reports having received $l4 Is
and says she ''has paid nothing out"
Twenty-Five auxiliary unions were
reported to exist at that time. In the
report Of the second annual meeting,
held at Bismarck Grove August 1880
we find for the first time reports Of
committees on plan Of work and reso-
lutions. In "plan of work" we find.
"We urge Unions everywhere to call
meetings, and in ways best adapted to
their localities aid in the grand work
for constitutional amendment" The
treasurers report at this meeting gave
the total receipts for the year as $42.43.
Contrasting this with the treasurer's
report for the year 1867 the receipts
being $2.57e.4s, with every district and
many counties organized and twenty
seven State superintendents Of depart
ments, one may get some idea of the
growth of our work. The minutes Of
our last meeting is neat pamphlet Of
150 pages.
Last November when the National

called upon for q speech, and he said
that he was no speaker, but that his
sentiments toward the organization
would be perfectly expressed by the

THE BILLIARD HALL.


Last spring just before the election il
will be remembered that the question
of billiard halls were discussed at some
length, and that an independent tick.
ct was gotten up solely because the
nominees Of the regular town caucus
decidedly favored giving billiard halls
q license.
And those who were interested in
the moral welfare of the town will also
remember that some of the ''leading
citizens", also leading church mem
bers-O, Christian consistency-left
their business aud spent the afternoon
in bringing to the polls those on whom
they could depend to vote for the
councilmen who favored the license.
And the REGISTER also, made a
smooth apology f.r the fact that bill
lizard halls were necessary for the safety
and well-being of the public &c.
In the face of all those recollections.
It il refreshing to note the turn Of the
tide as indicated by rather . faint pro-
test in the REGISTER of two weeks
ago. There seems to be an awaken
ing in rather vague way, that the
billiard hall lie not such q ''blessing In
as it was then supposed to
be.
Perhaps it is not generally known
that there are men in town who have
spent their money this winter at the
billiard rooms while the w. r. C. and
individuals have rendered aid to their
families, rather than to see little chill
dren suffer. Ifsuch places Of amuse-
ment are really necessary to the well
iare of the town-or decided to be co.

Notwithstanding the tradition thai
q President Of the United States Il
never taken from the Senate Of thu
United States, it IL nevertheless true
that on the eve of q Presidential cam
paign the Senate is the place where
Presidential candidates appear to bt
created and flourish to high degree Of
perfection. Garfield weakened the
force of the tradition, as he was Sen.
ator.elect when elevated to the Presi.
dency, but he had never beer
sworn in ~ Senator. OF the prom.
inent men in the republican party who
are now regarded a. available and
possible candidates, three fourths are
in the United States Senate. In fact q
prominent republican in the Senate
hardly dare made lengthy speech on
any leading issue without it being as
sumed that he il bidding for the Presi.
dency.
Among these distinguished men there
is one Senator who, since the with.
drawal Of James q. Blaine, has stood
out prominently among the Presiden-
tisl possibilities, Senator William B.
Allison, of Iowa. 1t has been predic-
ted that to him would go much of the
strength that would 9th .rwise have
been Yielded to Blaine had the latter
desired to re enter the lists for another
nomination. While this may or may
not be true, and there has been little
opportunity as yet to Judge the senti.
ment toward any alleged candidate,
1t Is wholly true that Senator Allison
would be the most probable inheritor
of the strength Of any of the leading
as he has discreetly kept
out of the bitter rivalries Of poll
tics.
In long public career the predom-
mating characteristic of Allison has
been his conservatism. There has
never been any jingoism or flapdoodle
In his career. He has been matter of
fact and serious statesman. His gen.
eral appearance and manner would
impress q stranger that there was
nothing frothy about him. He is in
variably dressed in black broadcloth,
and there is certain dignity in his
bearing under all circumstances. His
upon the floor are all deliber.
ate, and there are few Senators on
either sine of the chamber who would
question a statement of fact made by
him.
The studious inclination of the Sem
ator naturally led him into investiga-
tions Of financial subjects, and for years
he has been regarded as an authority
on such matters. His information in
this respect is doubtless greater than
that of any of his fellow-Senators, with
the single exception of Sherman. FL
nance. however, is not hobby with
the Senator. There ar. no matters of a
public bearing that he doesn't interest
in. Ingalls,, in a characters

after the war he was elected to
Congress, where he served in the
House Of Representatives for eight
years continuously. In 1872 he was
elected to the United States Senate,
and has been twice reelected. His
term of service will expire in three
years.
