Mr. J. e. Ryan of this city requests the pub
LEGATION of the following letter, received by
him from an extensive manufacturer of cider
vinegar in this state:
u Ar SRI received your letter OF the 22d with
copy OF TUE SEN ISEL containing notice of 4 move
ment OF the legislature intending to stop the
factuTe and sale OF impure vinegar. | had nothing
do with starting the movement. but il meets my
hearty appreciation And, since have been engaged
for many years IN the manufacture and sale of cider
vinegar ought to be able 10 give some information
on the subject.
Recently there was law passed by the Ohio legis-
auTe the subject of the sdulterat0n of foods and
drinks, OF which vinegar was included. 1t required
under heavy penalties, that all vinegars should be
labeled and sold under names designating of what
the article was made.
Now, there is always a demand by the consumer
for cider vinegar and since that Ohio law went
into effect have secured the custom OF of the
best retail houses IN Cincinnati and Dayton. The
contract awarded TO my make OF vinegar for the
supply OF the National soldiers home at Dayton at
the two last lettings and the last one was against
twenty competitors
Now, have invested at this time including stock
on bands and fixtures, some ten thousand dollars,

market Tor my products, while people are
supplied with bogus vinegar made in other states
where il Is unlawful TO sell it. While il Is possible

possible in Indianapolis

ALLISON TO BE PREMIER.
He VIII Not Take the Treasury Portfolio
supper With Ransdell.

supper with kansden.
Senator Allison left at $50 yesterday after
noon, having been driven directly from the
Harrison residence to the depot where he
boarded a Washington-bound train, rejecting
all attempts TO interview him.
The Iowa senator has doubtless accepted the
portfolio of state. He could hardly do
otherwise; that is, he could hardly refuse to
accept some cabinet position. To Gen. Harri-
son he could not excuse himself on the ground
that he wanted to be president and a refusal
of portfolio rendered might involve a respon-
sibility that would blast all presidential hopes.
That Mr. Allison will be one of the members of
the cabinet is, therefore, beyond question.
The opinion is prevalent enough to be called
general, that Senator Allison was offered the
position of secretary of state. Some OF the
greatest foreign political problems are said to
have been discussed by Harrison and Allison,
which would inspire the belief that Allison
would be prime minister. The Samoan diff
Guilty was discussed at length, as the trouble
may prOlOng itself into the term Of Gen. Har-
risOn. Why was not Blaine called TO the con-
ference if he has been designated secretary
of state?
Mrs Harrison and Mrs. Mckee are still in
New York, indicated in the dispatches.
Their Outgoings and incoInings are watched

will give some idea of how she is escaping the

A morning paper yesterday contained state

convicts 10 make shoes gave out the informa-
ton some time ago that they were not making
any money and would give up their men at
the expiration of the present contract. This
was clearly a bluff, and the warden knew IT,
The shoe men have been hiring convicts for 40
and 30 cents day. and the warden told them
that if they wanted TO leave the prison they
could 60. and he would. if permitted by the
legislature, make shoes FOR the state benevolent
and penal institutions. OF course, this did
not please them, and they made complaints
against the warden, which copied into the
indianapolis papers. 70 influence the legisla-
ture. Another complaint made against the
warden Is that he permits the cOnvicts to carry
about with them the money thew make for
overtime and they say convicts can be seen
going about the prison rafting silver dollars
IN their pockets. The warden evidently thinks
Il better TO allow the cOnvicts to keep
their own money than to take it away from
hem and spend it. 1t is a rule in the prison
that any Official or guard who bOrrows money
from a convict shall be dismissed from the
service. The warden may have made mis-
axes but they undoubtedly on the side of
humanity.
Yesterday the Patten Holloware company,
which has a large contract in the prison, re-
used % pay s. 900 which they owe the state.
Il Is probably from this that all the contractors
lave entered into a scheme 20 embarrass the
warden, but they will find il uphill business.
The contractors who do not pay the state
promptly VIII be fired without much ceremony.
Heretofore the contractors have run the prison
their own way, and could have a convict
whipped for any trivial offense. This has been
done away with, as II should have been, aud
the prisoners are treated like human beings.

subject OF the tariff, but / am less conservative

people OF this country, upon their necessities,
for the sake of enriching themselves. But with
these strong and pronounced views yet hold
to the old doctrine of the fathers that we are to

system of tariff taxation, and in laying 1t

and as little harm possible.
