THE WHISKY TRUST.
IN. o. Times-Democrat.

Among the numerous "trusts" that
prevade this country ia whisky
trust" Trusts are Objectionable, and
to some people the whisky trust is the
most Objectionable Of all-because 1t is
concerned with whisky. The effect OF a
trust Is to keep the price OF some
commodity at an unnaturally high fig.
ure. Trusts that deal with the neces-
saries of life are therefore engines Of
extortion. The whisky trust, however,
whether the object of its foundation be
righteous or the reverse "makes for
righteousness" In the sense in which
those who are opposed to the sale OF
whisky understand that word. 1t is
true that the men who have combined to
form this trust have done 80 for the pu
pose of selling whisky, and of selling 1t
at the best possible profit to them
selves. This may appear, from more
than one point Of view, an Ubiquitous
scheme. But from evil good may
sometimes spring. The more the trust
raises the price Of whisky, the less
whisky will be sold. Thus, the whisky
trust is in reality an ally of the temper
ance movement. 1t will scarcely be
disputed that a rise in the price Of
whisky will tend to diminish the con-
sumption of that pernicious drink
Moreover, the tax on whisky pays S70,'

Mr., Harrison's Chinese Rel cord.

Senator Harrison voted 10 admit

He voted to admit Chino bse "arti-
sans"
He was paired against Il De passage
of the twenty, year RestrictiQp BILL
He voted against the passage of the
bill over President Arthur's veto.
He voted to strike out THAT part of
the ten-year bill which f1rbade the
naturalization of Chinameni.
He voted against excluding Chinese

He voted to admit all Chinese not
usually engaged in labor.
He was one of the fifteen Senators
who voted against the pa Issage of the

that time there was no check whatever
upon the importation of Chinese, and
Mr.. Harrison did what he could to
keep any check from being imposed.

ured with mugwump notions. He is
a true blue Democrat and would make
a great Governor"
Cheering word of the progress of
the national campaign comes from In
diana, New Jersey and Connecticut.
The vigorous way in which Harrison's
record is being assailed by the Labor
papers in his own State shows how un-
popular he is at home with the labor
ing classes. His recently published
letter trying to beg off from voting
against the Chinese restriction bill has
not improved his chances. There
seems to be settled conviction here
that the Pacific slope will rebuke the
Chinese champion in most summary
manner.
Chairman Barnum, of the National
Democratic Committee, says that the
party In his State, Connecticut, is ad
mirably organized and that all the
signs point to an d.fashioned Demo-
cratic majority. In New Jersey. ex-
Governor Albeit says the party has
smoother sailing by far than it had
four years ago when Cleveland receiv-
ed very substantial plurality. Gen.
Fisk's candidacy tor President on the
Prohibition ticket will draw 5000
more votes from the Republican ticket
than St. John did in 1884. Besides,
the passage of particularly obnox-
ious high liquor license bill by the
late Legislature, as Republican eau
Gus measure, has arrayed the German
vote almost solidly against the Re-
publican candidates.
In New York the party is united as
never before, and no one seems to
think the Republicans have fighting
chance. The gamblers are taking all
the bet they can get at odds of two to
one in favor of the Democrats ON the
general result in the country, and are
offering even greater odds on the State.
The question of union OF the two big
Democratic factions on local ticket,
is not likely to be settled for some
time. FRANK E. VAUGHAN.

A Great Tunnel Completed.

On May A the great stampede tunnel
in Washington Territory, on the Moth
ern Pacific railroad, became an accom-
plished fact. The workmen from each
end met in the heart of the Cascade
range and the last borings were com
pleted. The tunnel is $3.50 feet long
and makes a continuous direct line
from Duluth to Tacomma and thence
to Portland, Oregon. Hitherto passen-
gers and freight have been hauled
over the Cascade range of Mountains
by means of q "switchback" road, the
grade of which is very steep, and in
the winter time very dangerous.
The tunnel was begun early in 1866,
and the contract was for $4,000, 900.

Woman in the Church.

The Methodist general conference in
New York, after wrestling a week with
the question of admitting women dele
gates, financially rejected them. The
action causes various comments:
After summing up the most obvious
reasons in favor of their admission, the
Independent concludes: There are 9TH
er considerations no less weighty in
favor of the admission of women !; but
the general conference has overridden
them all and refused to seat the wOm-
en-. 1t seems a strange thing to do /;
and yet it must be admitted that it
would be an ecclesiastical innovation
to give women a share in the govern
ment of the church. The Presbyteri-
ans do not have them in their judica-
tories nor the Episcopalians nor
have we noticed any in the chief rep
resentative bodies of the Baptists and
Congregationalists. And yet women
constitute two-thirds of the member
ship of all the churches. 1t is strange
indeed that they should be SO general
ly overlooked but we had hoped that
the Methodist Episcopal church would
be the first to lead in a great ecclesias-
tical reform which would give them
the place they deserve in the church.
1t is only recently that woman has
been discovered, said a wise %represen-
tative of the sex the other day. Now
that she is discovered, the church, of
all agencies, should make the most of
her.
What would the Methodist church
be without it's women9 A very slow,
creaking piece of ecclesiastical machin-
cry, an engine without fuel or steam, a
mill without a grist. And yet, with
remarkable capacity for ingratitude
and with an obtuseness that is simply
amazing, the fossils and fOgies of that
body have spent a whole week In
blocking the doors of the general con-
ventiOn, so that the women delegates
elected to it should not be formally
admitted and, though the women
have had bold and strong advocates
mot the Christian Advocate, which is
about so years behind the times), they
have been Outnumbered in the final
vote which ended the weekly debate
The Christian Register.
Concerning the vote of the Methodist
general conference at New York to ex-
clude women delegates this week the
Christian Union remarks: This is I'M
doubtedly a wise conclusion of the
whole matter. 1t will be far better in
the end that women be admitted
through the front door by general cOn-
sent than through the back door by a
close vote. 1t will be far better for
the church to finally decide the matter
on the broad question of right and
general policy than on the narrow
question of a disputed construction of
