The issue raised by the ways and means COM
mittee in regard to the constitutionality of the
Senate tariff bill is the quart Of dispute that
will not go into the pint of time left this ses-
sion. The Mills bill is now again in the cur
rent Of legislation, as a House substitute to the
Senate substitute. If the session were only a
few weeks younger we should see the Senate
passing a substitute to the House substitute to
the Senate substitute. Whereupon, the House
in turn might repeat the process until we
should all feel like the man who got between
two mirrors and thought all the looking
glasses in the world were after him. Mean
time the country is bowling along with the old
tariff, little water-logged it is true, but with
everybody merry above deck.

The practical suggestion appears in a west
ern paper that while there are gas, oil, meat
and milk inspectors in many states and in the
large cities generally, there are no inspectors
of whisky. The omission is a singular one
The vile authorizations that are sold ignorant
men who have a depraved appetite
for drink should long ago have been
forbidden by law. The quickest way to
reach the evil is to employ inspectors who
have zeal coupled with scientific knowledge to
ferret out the makers Of bad whisky and bring
them to punishment. The whole subject of
food and drink adulteration has been handled
in this country with a monumental inability to
accomplish results. 1t is not until one pro-
ducing interest clashes with another, as in the
oleomargarine question, that something is
done. The innocent producer goes quietly, I'M

A Mysterious Watch,

Mr.. |. Z. Isaacs, Of No. 419 Smith
field street, Pittsburg, is the possessor
OF watch which is a novelty in that
line. ST. Paul says that faith without
works is dead, but here is a watch that
hasn't any works that any one can
see, save the hands, and they point
the time accurately; and as a time
keeper il certainly isn't dead. In ap-
pearance il is a metallic frame with a
glass center, in which are two hands
which appear to have no connection
with anything except the glass.
On opening the border, however,
very complete but minute machinery
is seen at the base OF the stem, but still
no connection can be traced between
the works and the hands.
Some people have suggested hat the
chain forms a circuit from a battery
concealed in the region Of the small Of
the wearer's back. and that the watch
Is operated by electricity. One man
gave it as his opinion, after critical
investigation, that the watch was the
device of the devil.
The curiosity is called the ''Mys-
terious Watch" and its value consists
mainly in its rarity, being, il is said,
the only n in the United States,
which fact, like the rarity Of an old
volume or picture that cannot be du-
plicated, makes value. II was brought
from Paris and cost $50, and the cost
is certainly not in the case. -Pittsburp

Pecuiiarities OF People Who Are I'm
known to the Rest Of the World.
/ was early in the morning of a
perfect April day that we went down
the road that leads 10 the banks Of the
Bullskin-a creek that traverses a
part of eastern Kentucky. II was a
charming ride through the mists and
shadows of the early morning, Our
destination was the house Of an old
man named Barger. II was a quaint
old place, much cleaner than the
houses in that country usually are.
with the remarkable luxury of an
up stairs" Old Mrs. Barger was
preparing dinner when we arrived.
and we sat down to dine at 10 o'clock
in the morning. We told the family
that we dined at home about eight
hours later than that, but they would
not believeit.
In the evening | joined the group
sitting about the fire waiting for sup
per. They were the boys" come in
from the farm work with several
neighbors who had been helping.
Darkness had fallen, and the men
about the fire were as silent and Sc
date as only a group of mountaineers
can be. The silence was suddenly
broken by the entrance of a bale,
hearty old man. whom all the party
addressed as grandpa and treated with
great respect. The old man placed
himself with utmost care on a stool
near the fire and waited until Mrs.
Barger had resumed her work at 1.-THE
fire and the men had gone back to
chewing their ''long cut" and to ST.
lence; then he looked about him with
an air Of enjoyment and slowly re-
marked:
II lay I'm goin' to leave this creek"
Bud Simpson has done beat Joe
Bakers wife all TO pieces with a fence
rail and run off and lef her for dead"
Various EXPLANATIONS came from all
sides, while | sat by and listened 10
the details Of what seemed TO me to be
a shocking assault. Grandpap en-
planned with slow care how the quar-.
rel originated with the ''dawgs and
the hawgs," and finally concluded by
repeating; Il tell We, | goin' TO leave
the creek; il amt safe" Mrs. Barger
returned 10 her bacon with the astute
observation: well, that beats my
time" and took no further part in the
conversation, but the men were thor.
oughly aroused and discussed the out
rage with solemn eagerness.
One tall fellow, who seemed TO be a
man of some Importance, reached
quite a fever Of excitement and all the
little circle stopped to listen when he
delivered his opinion. "a man amt
no right 10 beata woman with a fence
rail. A man shouldn't beat none of
my women folks with a fence rail.
II Bud Simpson wanted to beat Tiddy
Baker why didn't he take his fist and
beat herl A mar amt no right 10
beat a woman with a fence rail. He
orter TO have took his fist"
The party all agreed that punish.
ment with the fist was the proper
mode for women and silence soon
reigned again. - Cor. Washington

Citizens Candidate Schruidt Knocks the
Wind Out Of Canard.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
An item appeared in your issue of SUM-
day, embodying set of resolutions offered
at what was termed Republican meeting
of the Eleventh ward. The resolutions set
forth that the Citizens candidate for Select
Council in the Eleventh ward had during
the war served in the Confederate army.
The cause of the Ring candidate for Coun-
Gil Tin whose interest the above
was inspired) must certainly be ap-
preaching a desperate point, when
such small tactics are resorted to for the
purpose OF creating prejudice and diverting
the attention of the voters from the real
issues in the contest. The charges are So
ridiculous and have been made in such a
spiteful manner, that would not consider
it worth while to repudiate them, as far as
my personal reputation is concerned. How
ever, as the reflections were made for the
sole purpose of juring the Citizens ticket,
I desire to say most emphaticaily that the
charges are false and misleading.
At the outbreak of the war happened to

calumnious charge should appear for the
first time at this late day.

A PLEA FOR PROHIBITION.
A LawrencevilIe Pastor Lays Down the Law
for His Congrezation.

A LawrencevilIe Pastor Lays Down the Law
for His Congregation.
Rev. j. D. Sands, of the Forty-fourth
Street U. P. Church, delivered an address
last evening on the subject of "The Chris
tian's Duty With Reference to the Prohib-
itory Amendment" A synopsis of his re-
marks is appended:
He said that if all the members and adher-
ents OF the churches in this State would vote In
favor of the amendment, it would be adopted
by large majority. Christians held opposing
views on the matter. He explained that any
Christian who failed to support the amendment
was placed under the ban of the Bible warnings.
Pastor Sands then took up the excuses Tor
not voting for the amendment. One reason
given was the arbitrary taking away rights
which belonged 10 citizens. They hold the
State should not interfere with the privileges.
The State has never recognized the manu-
facture and sale of Intoxicating liquors as a
right that anyone possessed. The one TACT or
license proved this. No other business pays a
license. They pay tax. but not Incense.
The State, under certain restrictlons. sells the
right to sell liquor.
IT is claimed prohibition does not prohibit It
has tendency to abolish the use OF aiconolc
beverages. Neither high nor low licenses have
succeeded in stopping the use OF liquor as
beverage. 1t will prove easier under the
amended laws to detect Illegal liquor selling
than under either high or low license as the
sale will be more noticeable. Prohibition has
not proved failure where it has been tried.
This can be clearly proven. Law against theft
does not altogether check the crime. YET We
would not think of licensing thieves.
The strongest plea which will be made Dy the
liquor dealers is that it is unjust to confiscate
property without paying the men sufficient
sum for their loss. They will ask the taxpayer
to pay this amount They went INTO the pusi'

DOING UP THE DOCTORS.

A Good Templar Emissary From Wisconsin
Cites High Authorities to show They
Should Not Prescribe Whisky.
A large audience greeted the speakers at
the temperance gathering in the Moorhead
building in the afternoon. The speakers
were L. F. Cole, of Wisconsin; John Mar
tin. j. W. Moreland and A. NJ. Brown, and
the trend of their talk was Constitutional
amendment.
Mr.. L. F. Cole is one Of the ten speakers
sent from outside States into Pennsylvania
for work in the coming campaign. They
are sent here by the Good Templars, and all
expenses are paid by that organization.
He said the temperance workers should be
certain of their preliminary work, as their
foundation WAS simply perfect; the founda-
tion of tremendous conviction that they
were right. They were called radical, but
right was always radical, since there could
be nothing halfway in right.
AS there were honest doubts as to the ac-
curacy of total abstinence, the speaker be-
lieved there were many thousands who were
honestly opposed to it, but if they could
demonstrate there was no legitimate use for
alcohol as beverage, then they could have
no difficulty in carrying their point. Fit
teen years ago temperance was operated
merely on sentimental basis, but scientific
men then took hold, with results simply
amazing. and disastrous to the "sober
drunkard," F" or moderate drinker.
DR.. B. W. Richardson, the highest En-
glish medical authority, says there is no
legitimate use under the sun for one solita-
ry drop of alcohol as beverage by a healthy
person. He never prescribes whisky or
brandy for sick person, but, if necessary,
alcohol diluted. Physicians who do pre-
scribe it do so merely for the alcohol In it,
and no one knows what other poisons the
poor patients get in order to absorb the al
cohol they should have in pure state.
DR.. Noah S. Davis, the man who has re-
ceived the highest medical honors in the
United States was quoted as saying ne had
never for 25 years prescribed one drop of
whisky or brandy for his patients, but when
necessary pure alcohol.
The speaker then rather scored st. Paul,
the greatly quoted Biblical writer who
wrote the prescription thousands of years
ago, "Take little wine for thy stomach's
sake" He said = old gentleman wrote
that long before lIedicine was known as a
science, and therefore he knew not what
sin he was committing. Ii the Saint had
said castor oil, the speaker doubted if the
people would break their necks in trying to
save, their stomachs. Continuing, the
speaker said:
The lager beer business is the most gigantic
commercial fraud in the world. 1t costs them
just 81 to make barrel of beer, and some ex-
Why do you suppose the poor beer drinkers
pay for it over the counter at cents glass.
More than one saloonkeeper has told me they
could make as high as SIS out of that single
barrel of beer that originally cost 81, in addi-
tion to Government stamp forS1.
Do you appreciate, then, the foe we are to
fight; millionaires who are willing, if need be,
to put 100000 each into this campaigni
