The Anti-Saloon Republicans.

The Anti-Saloon Republican ma
tional committee is prepared to Wig
orously prosecute its work during th'
coming year. 1t is encouraged b.
the growth of advanced temperance
sentiment in the Republican party
and it points with satisfaction to the
results which have everywhere atten
ded a firm Republican stand agains
the saloon. The committee does
not believe that the Republican party
should be restricted to the advocacy
of any single temperance measure
1t is not IN sympathy with the politi-
cal Prohibitionists. 1t believes that
each state should be left to fight the
saloon with the mehods which may
most approve themselves. The CON-
mittee has lately adopted an outspok-
en- platform. 1t stoutly condemns
the saloon, and goes on to say:
ssWe therefore resolve to wage un-
relenting war against it, using always
and everywhere the most effective
weapons, moral and legal, at our
command.
L. We demand its entire suppress
sion in every state where public sem
timent makes suppression possible.
2. We demand legislation in every
state providing for its suppression
in those minor civil divisions in which
public sentiment makes such suppress
sion possible.
3. We demand the most effective
measures of restriction where sup
preston by state, county, municipal
ity or town is not possible.
We would close, where it is possi-
BILE, all the saloons where it is not
possible to close all we would close
half !; where it is not possible to close
half, we would not disdain to close
even one. We would load those that
remain with taxes, limit them with
restrictions, and compel them to OBJ
serve every jot and little of the law.
The Anti-Saloon Republican ma
tional committee is doing noble work.
Its efficiency is attested by the bitter
opposition it has awakened on the
part of both the Democratic saloon
politicians and their unconscious but
useful allies, the third party Prohi-
bitionists.

The possibility of pushing the
Senate tariff bill through the house was
vigorously discussed at the Capitol.
There seems to be q chance to bring
the bill to vote and in that case, a
number of leading republicans are
confident that it will be laid before
the President. Snowden of Pennsyl-
vania declares that he has been can
vassing the democratic side of the
house and finds at least 20 who are
unwilling to submit further to the
dictation of the ways and means
committee and who will oppose Mr..
Mills motion to refer the bill. The
discussion will come in committee of
the whole on McKinlay's motion to
concur, which will take precedence.
If vote is reached, a change of seven
votes would reverse the position of
the parties in the house. Knute Mel
son will stand by the republicans
this time. The North Carolina mem
bers will not be anxious to vote
against the tobacco provisions, and
there are enough Randall democrats
to decide the issue.

Extending the Presidential
Term.

Gov. Hill of New York, in his in
augural, argues for the extension of
the presidential term to six years,
making the President ineligible foE
reelection. This is no new propo-
sition, for it has been suggested a
I great many times by different indi-
viduals in the last twenty years. 1t
seems to be revived now as a conse-
quence of Mr.. Clevaland's i'll luck in
seeking a second term and not OBJ
tanning it.
No very powerful reason has been
or can be urged for the change. If
the evils of the present system lie
in the possibility of second term
an efficient remedy can be found in
refusing a second, just as was done
in the case of Mr.. Cleveland. Until
his denomination it had been the un-
written law of the democratic party
for forty years, or since the defeat
of Van Buren for second term in
1910, not to nominate for a second
term. With last years experience
it will probably be the law of the
same party for the next forty.
Extending the presidential term to
six years would only aggravate ex-
isting evils. Our presidential con-
tests would be more intense, more
furious and more corrupt; for the
stake would be fifty per cent. larger.
A really good President can be re-
elected. A bad one can't be. A
poor President can be endured for
four years, but six years of poor
President would be almost intolera-
BILE. For such a President a four
years term is too long.
In this matter as in others we had
better endure the ills we have than
fly to those we know not Of. Our
presidential campaigns are now short
and sharp, but when they are over
they are over. The defeated party
promptly acquisces because it can't
do otherwise without revolution, and
also because four years do not con-
stitute a very long period before the
issue can be tried again. Six years
would simply increase the strain in
the wrong direction, Gov. Hill,
who on this third term, is hardly the
man to worry himself over the perils
of second term in the White House.
If he ever gets there for one term,
he will be after second term and
turn just as short a corner to get it
as Mr.. Cleveland Telegraph.

The joint resolution presented in
the senate last week by Senator Ed
munds, touching an American inter-
oceanic canal can hardly fail to be
approved by the entire American
people, whatever foreign governments
may think about it. The joint res

RESOLVED, That the government OF the
United States will look with serious con-
Germ and disapproval upon any connec-
tion of any European government with
the construction or control of any ship
canal across the Isthmus of Darien or
across Central America, and must re-
gard any such connection or control as
Injurious to the just right and interests
OF the United States and as menace to
their welfare.
ResOlUed, That the President of the

cate the expression of the views of Con

ANOTHER POINT GAINED.
Justice DufFy's Final Disposal Of
Autocrat Gerry's Case.
He DiSmisSes the Application for Alice
Graham'S Commitment.
Referee Rollin NJ. Morgan Expects TO
Hear Testimony Next Week.

The 8, p. G. G. has received so many black
eyes recently that it took Judge Duffy's
undefcut ut Jefferson Market Police Court
yesterday afternoon with comparative forti-
tude.
The magistrate had temporarily given little
Alice Graham into her mothers keeping last
Saturday and said he would finally decide
the case after he found out what the Supreme
Court meant to do about IL.
Neither Alice nor her mother wentto Jsffer-
son Market Yesterday, but Assistant Supt.
Stocking and Agent Burlando were floating
around, looking snxiously after Mr.. Gerry's
interests, and seeking. II possible, TO secure
the further persecution Of Mrs. Graham.
Judge Duffy, however. did not give them o
nance TO do anything, for when he had
1 understand that Judge 1nsrabsm, Of
the Supreme Court. has ordered q referee TO
take testimony as to whether the mother or
dismiss the case SO far as this Court - con-
cerned. The mother may have the child, and
i trust she will show that abe 10 the proper
person to have charge of il in the future"
1t 10 rumored that there IL o possibility
that the examination will not go on before
the referee because the husband has such q
weak case that even Mr.. Gerry's Society,
which Is backing him W in the proceeding,
~ peeinning 10 realize the Ioly OF pressing
his claims.
1t was only q big bluff on Mr.. Gerry's part
when he at first found he had lost his case,
and now that he sees how hasty he was in his
advice to the father he IL showing q disposi.
ton to back out from the extremely awkward
situation in which he finds himself,
Graham has had all the opportunity he
could desire within the last year to bring
these proceedings against his wife, as he has
been in this city repeatedly. But, knowing
the weakness Of his claims. he has preferred
TO annoy his wife In O mean and contempti-
BILE way by threatening to kidnap the child,
thus keeping her in q state of continual
alarm.
It is only the machinery Of Mr.. Gerry's
Society that has stiffened mp his backbone
temporarily.
Lawyer Abe Hummel denied this morning
that there was any intention on the part Of
Graham to abandon the proceedings which
he had instituted. The latter went to Wash
ington last night to procure evidence with
which to fight the case.
Mr.. Hummel said that the Washington
courts made deSertion q ground for absolute
divorce. and that the custody of the child
naturally belonged to the father under the
circumstances
Still, the fact that the mother had SUD-
ported the child for the last six years while
II had not received anything from the father,
he thought. was q strong point in Mira. Ora
hams favor.
Referee Rollin NJ. Morgan, who was sp-
pointed by Judge Ingraham to take testi-
mony in the case. has not yet hxed any day
for the first hearing. but he expects to take
up and finish the case next week.

CRIMINALS WITHOUT MONEY.

Yesterday the record was broken in the
matter of railroading criminals. In nine
hours from the time the crime was committed
two thieves were sent to prison. That sub.
Btantial justice was done them there appears
10 be no doubt. but the swiftneas with which
their cases were despatched cannot but at
tract attention.
How and why was such celebrity attained ?
The answer is very simple. These petty
criminals were without money, and conse.
Quently without counsel.
The EVENING WORLD has no particular
fault to ind with the rapidity with which
MCCARTHY and CUNNINGHAM were sent to
prison, but it does wish that there was not
such amarked difference in the gait of Justice
when dealing with q moneyed scoundrel and
q penniless rascal.

MR., GERRY,s AGENTS,

One of the results of the futile attempts of
MIR. GERRY's Society to rob Mrs. GRAHAM Of
the custody of her child was TO show up the
kind of agents employed by the Society.
What a :ravesty pom the objects of the So
ciety such a coarse, profane fellow as Agent
BuRLANDo isl
Is the corps Of child savers made up Of such
as he? Is the conversation heard by the
children . saved from wicked parents of q
piece with that used by BURLANDo in his in
terview with The EVENING" WORLD reporter ?
Is it to such hands tender children are con-
signed
If Mr.. GERRY has any regard for the repu-
tation Of his Society he will overhaul his
corps of agents at once, and dismiss all
those who are unfit for their duty.
A humane society need to have agents with
humane instincts.
