ANOTHER cyclone struck the saloon
keepers of Philadelphia on Monday,
more destruction to the traffic than
that of two weeks ago. The new Ii
censes awarded by the Judges will be
only about one fourth of those granted
under the old law. They have found
out that the high license act was load
ed. Many a man who has heretofore
rated his influence high because he
controlled the slaves of the still, will
be like Sampson after his locks were
trimmed by Delilah.

THE Democratic State Committee in
issuing call for a State Convention
have added a clause to the call not
heretofore appended asking the officers
holding the Primaries to forward to
the Chairman of the State Committee
a certificate containing the names of
those elected. This is done to have them
in hand prior to the meeting ofthe dele
gates, and thus save much confusion
in organization as characterized the
State Convention which met at Dover
two years ago.

The pardon by Governor Jackson, OF

on the ballOt-bOx in Baltimore is one OF

Another cOld-water wave more de-
structive to the saloon-keepers of Phila-
delphia than that of two weeks ago
deluged the heart Of the city Monday,
and sent a cold shiYer down the backs
of hundreds of men who had applied
for license and who learned that the
word " Refusedn had been written
across their application. To them the
beautiful, warm spring day was dark
and dreary and many of them will re-
member the I'd of April as Black Mon
day. The only relief in hearing the
news was that the awful suspense that
has caused many tavern-keeper to
toss on his bed at nigh for the past two
weeks was over.

applications from the Eigth, Ninth,
Tenth, TWenty-sixth and Thirtieth
wards and granted respectively 80

out of 1O1. 81 out of 1873 and 35 out 81 ;
the result thus far in twelve wards is
551 licenses granted out of 1875 appli-
cations; in the same wards last year
there were 2i47 hotels and saloons,
making a total reduction under the
new law of 1897 or over 75 per cent

The WOMAN's NATIONAL COUNCIL.
Congress was not completely exliu-
guished last week but it must be con-
fessed it was considerably oVershadOw-
ed by another attractiOn-the WOman's
International Council And the con-
ventiOn was quite a financial success,
to say the least, its surplus being limi-
ted only by the size of the Opera House
in which the gathering was held. For
four days the storm clouds wrestled
with the Council, and for four nights
the rain battered down and the women
spattered forth and back. They were
burning with the fires of too lofty an
enthusiasm to bother about the
weather.
The wide scope of the topics discuss
ed at the Conference gave unusual in
terest TO the proceedings. Every sub
ject that pertained to women was con
, sidered. Attention was given to thu
notable advances in all lines of develop
ment. involving a review of what ha
been accomplished, which gave con
gratulatOry tone to the gathering, ant

Try Again.

General Harrison punctured a thin
spot with Free Trlde argument the
other day. He quoted from Mr.. Mills
to the effect that nothing radical in the
way of reduction was intended by his
party, and then asked why, if small
reduction OF the tariff was to be such a
great boon to the workingrnen, why
not make q big reduction, and make a
great whopping big boon and boom?-
[Carson Appeal.
In the first place, Democrats do not
make "free trade arguments" for the
reason that they believe the best way to
collect the revenue for the support of
the Government is through duties on
imports. All the "free trade bosh is
merely Republican scarecrow-a neat
little fiction OF their own special pro-
duc,ion.
As for Mr.. Harrison. we would pre-
sumo to ask the gentleman how he re-
CARDS the Republican tariff bill? II he
has the most remote idea that q high
protective tariff is ON inestimable boon
to the country is he not Disguised with
the Republican senate thpt it failed to
double the existing schedules thereby
making the whole country twice rs
prosperous and happy, instead of re-
cognizing The wisdom OF the Mills bill
by following its example, and in some
instances greatly exceeding the Demo.
cratic reduction Of duties. Mr.. Harri.
son should give us something harder.

his team became frightened and threw
Mr.. Nesmith from his seat on the

immediately folio we'd, but on regaining
consciousness he found himself living

on him. He was in helpless condi-
ton and remains so to the present writ
ing.-(Genoa Courier.
Mr.. Blaine says it is neither Mr..

how many trusts are formed or who, or
how they rob. In fact, MIR. Blaine is
by no means sure that this style of vain
pire is not an advantage to the country.
Such sentiment from The Plumed
kDlght causes no surprise, it being in
perfect harmony with the mans whole
political career, but that he should have
80 for forgot his characteristic cunning
AS to give expression to such damaging
utterance at such q critical juncture
constitutes as egregious a blunder al
that perpetrated by his Nemesis of the
three Rs.

produce n reasonable argument going
to provo that a high protective tariff
maintains high wages. or that any tariff
schedule has the east effect upon wages

tariff helps anybody but the owners of
the protected industries and that it does
not rob everybody else, he has not yet
come to surface. If such person does
