Hon. John A. j. CreSWell.

The Hon. John A. J. Creswell is
prominently mentioned for the vacancy
on the bench of the Supreme Court OF
the United States created by the death
of the Hon. Stanley Matthews. The
selection of Mr.. Creswell for the exalted
position would be just tribute to judi
cIal talent. MIR. Creswell is lawyer OF
distinguished ability. His long con
tinued service in conspicuous public
positions, the duties of which he dis
charged with honor to himself and
benefit to his country, eminently qualify
him to discharge this new and more
important trust. As Senator he was
distinguished among those long prom
nent in the councils of the Government.
From the beginning he took high rank
and added fresh laurels to fame that
has not been dimmed by the fight of
years and active political experience.
His administration of the Postofflce
Department, the business of which re-
ceived a new impetus at his hands, was
a series of brilliant triumphs. His sue
cessful service as counsel on behalf of
the Government before the Court of
Commissioners of Alabama Claims ex-
hibited in a striking degree his rare and
signal ability as lawyer. His wonder
full power of analysis and the magnetism
of his oratory are well known to those
who have heard him. AS a platform
speaker he probably has no superior in
Maryland. In the management of the
financial institution-the Citizens Ma
tional Bank of Washington-with which
he has been so long connected, he has
demonstrated an intimate and familiar
acquaintance with the financial system
of the Government, besides the posses
sian of splendid executive skill. The
elevation of this distinguished Mary
lander to the Supreme Bench would
not only be fitting tribute to individ-
ual worth and patriotic service, but
would be an appropriate recognition OF
that better type of Southern Republi
canism which was unfortunately ignored
by the lately retired Chief Executive
CarYolltoulan.

sDeny yourselves. Take up your cross
and follow Me-" There is no ueed to be
drunk to be under the influence of wine.
The man who takes only little. and will
not give it up, is as much controlled by
it as if he was an habitual drunkard. He
is under the influence because he won't
give it up.
What's thu reason you won't stand
out for the amcndmeut? Because you
like glass of beer? You say | want t"
he free to take An occasional drink II
feel like it What influence keeps yoI
from voting for the amendment? Isn't it
the influence of the glass of beer? There
are thousands of men il this city who do
not get drunk. They say we have the
right to drink it if we want to; to sell it,
to buy it, or to give it away A man may
not drink it at all. but he may be under
the influence of the liqnor spirit. He will
say; Il am a temperance man, but am in
business aud the liquor people deal with
me, so | won't say anything against It,
Now, what influence is he under?
1t is the same with many a politician.
He's afraid he won't get votes so he is
silent on the liquor question. When a
minister or a teacher refuses to speak out
on this question he is ruled Ivy the liquor
! interests. The drunkard who votes for
prohibition is Il freer mau than the total
abstainer who carries water nn both
shoulders and then votes for liquor. or to
put it III the harness of high lcnnsa.
just as the saloon keeper must answer
| for every glass he sells, so we must
answer for voting for liquor. 1t is simply
question of whether or not we are il
| favor of the saloon. 1t isn't a question
of high license. The quibble that pro
hibitiou does not prohibit has nothing to
do with it. The law against stealing does
not prevent stealing. The same power
that puts the amendment on our Consti
tuition will attend TO the enforcement Of
the law. 1t is our duty to make it as
difficult to get liquor as il is to get poison.
| License means that the city, the state
and the saloon keeper shall 20 into part
nership to ruin men, to build up jails,
almshouses, hospitals and houses of cor
rection and to keep up the taxes. God is
going to count the votes. Vote tor pro-
hibition and you will be voting for Him,
for order, for religion and for the highest
civilization. He will see every ballot.
When you go home to night go down on
your knees, every one of you, and pray
God to help you to carry the amendment.
Mr.. ramaker then closed with Il
prayer. He hurried into the main Sunday
school and made the closing address 10
the children and then led the usual 90
minute prayer meeting at six o'clock. He
will leave for Washington in the morning.

WANAMAKER ON WHISKEY,
THE POSTMASTER GENERAL FAVOR
Or PROHIBITION.
An Address to HIS Sunday School.

An Address to His Sunday School.
PHILADELPHIA, March 31.-Postmaster
General Wanamaker made his first public
utterance to day on the question of high
license and prohibition. He declared in
favor of the constitutional amendment,
and exhor,ed the eight hundred persons
who listened to his words to work, pray
and vote for it. Mr. Wanamaker reached
Bethany Sunday School at two O'Clock.
Half an hour later, while the Bethany
Orchestra played the opening hymn. Mr.
Nanamaker was in his place as superin
tendent OF the largest Sunday school class
in America
After the usual exercises, Mr.. Wanna
maker led the way to the church, followed
by 400 members of his adult Bible class
aud 400 visitors. While the visitors were
being seated. Mr.. Wanamaker announced
that 1t was quarterly meeting, and that
there was no regular lesson. He said he
had been requested to talk of temperance.
He read portion of the fifth chapter OF
Ephesians, beginning with the verse: "Be
not drunk with wine.'
He said: "What is the Christian idea of
right? 1t is important that we yet the
right thought. because then we will do
rlSnG ana leau happy lie The Chris
tan idea is that we carefully guard our
department. We should be temperate in
all things that we do. The Bible saws
that he who does not do this is fool.
Now, man who calls you fool is not
minded much, but when God writes us
down as fools it is very serious thing.
We should be temperate in everything
That means the use of tobacco and of
opium; it includes profanity and anger,
and impurity of life. We are SO to talk
that we shall build each other up"
Mr.. Wanamaker then referred to the
wreck of the American men of war at
Samoa, and spoke of the broken hearted
wives aud children who were waiting for
the return of their husbands and fathers,
who had been dashed to pieces on the
rocks. He continued. Right here in our
city are broken, hearted people beaten
against the rocks of adversely by this tide
of liquor aud of license. The man who
will not sign a temperance pledge, though
he does not need it himself, to help a
weaker brother, is not as much of a man
as he thinks himself to be. Christ said:

Robert Lincoln has grown stout of
late and he looks much older than when
he was Secretary of War. He is ex-
tremely fastldious about his attire and
looks more like a New York man of
leisure than a Chicago lawyer. He is
pleased at his appointment, but regrets
the financial sacrifice he must make to
accept it. He has very profitable law
business, which he must now throw into
other hands,

Our New Cruiser Falls Far Below the
Contract Horse Power.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 4, 1SS9.-From
a report received to-day by the Naval
Bureau of Steam Engineering, it appears
that the new cruiser Charleston, built by
the Union Iron Works of San Francisco,
for the Government, failed to come up to
the contract requirements
The report states that thehorsepower
developed by the ship in her recent official
run will probably not be reported
above 6,7OO by the trial Board
run of six hours - two hours
more than required by the contract. She
worked in an excellent manner, no heat
ing being perceptible in the machinery.
During the extra two hours she worked
better than during the regular time.
This is cited as proof of her excellent
staying powers.
coincide with those of the one received by
the Steam Engineering Bureau, the con-
tractors will be subjected to a penalty of
$40, 600, a rate of 500 for each horse power
not developed. The boiler performances
Of the Charleston have been better than
those of the Yorktown calculated pro-
portionately.
Much disappointment is expressed in
naval circles at the failure of the vessel.
Her contractors made unusual efforts to
make her trial a success, even going so
far as to import handpicked Welch coal
for use in her furnaces.
The vessel wos built on the plans of the
Naniwakan, a Japanese cruiser of Eng
lish design, which had about twenty-four
trials before she was accepted by the
Japanese government.

Before the Police,

DIR. McGflI Lays Brutal Case of Assault
Before the Police.
Michael Priestly, tall, heavily built
man, was arraigned before Justice Still
sing this morning charged with assault.
Surgeon General John D. McGill came
to the Gregory Street Police Station last
evening and said that he had Just left
Julia Asst, of No. 14S York street, in a
critical condition, due to injuries which
she said We're inflicted by Priestly.
Policeman Heath was sent out to in
vestigate the case and returned with
Priestly, who was locked up.
This morning George Asst, the woman's
husband, appeared against Priestly.
He said that his wife was too i'll to leave
her bed. and in delicate health besides.
She met Priestly in the hallway of their
home last evening.
Without any provocation on her part,
Asst alleges, Priestly struck her a violent
blow in the region of the abdomen with
his clenched fist.
The woman uttered cry of pain and
sank ia the floor.
Friends assisted her to her room and
DR.. McGill was summoned to her bedside.
He worked with her for some time, and
succeeded in relieving her of much of her
pain. Deeming the woman's condition
serious he reported the matter to the
police
Priestly denied that he struck the
woman at all, but Justice Stilsing com
mitted him for trial
