Mr.. HarrisOn's prOmptness in
signing the River and Harbor bill is
explained in various ways by those
who had persistently predicting a veto.
Some say that he was coerced under
protest, into signing it, by the leaders
of the party, and others that his hints
about vetoing the bill were only in
tended to obtain Senatorial support for
measures in which he was especially
interested. The fact of the matter is
that river and Harbor bill is one of
the most popular measures with the
voters of tho country, particularly of
those sections where the money is
spent, that ever gets before Congress,
and that it requires a great deal of
moral courage to veto one, aud Mr..
Harrison has not forgotten that Mr..
Cleveland made host of enemies by
vetOeing one of them, likewise Mr.. Ar
thur, and he is laying awake O'nights
now to make friends, not enemies.
This desire to make friends explains
the great interest Mr.. Harrison took
in the anti-lottery bill, which has also
become law. He knew that ninety
nine out of a hundred of the educated
men and women of the country favor
ed such law and he threw all the
weight of his influence in Congress for
it, and its an accomplished fact, and
Mr.. Harrison and his administration
will be commended therefore by eV-
erybody interested it the progress of
moral reform.
The enemies of the compound lard
bill are now training their guns on the
Senate. Senator Blair on Saturday
presented q Telegram from the State
Republican convention of South Caro-
lima asking him TO use his influence to
defeat the bill. Il is thought that the
Senate will adopt Senator Paddocks
pure food bill as a substitute for CON-
pound lard bill.
The lobby which has been working
to strangle the Butterworth "optionD
bill seems to have succeeded. Bets
have been made within the last two
days at big odds that it will not be
acted upon this year.

him on the added efficiency from this
Sunday study and sermon
izing. His subject was the Mystery
of and through Godliness," and pos
sessed the qualities of good preaching
in thoughtful presentation, aptness in
analysis and JUNCTION in delivery.
Rev. W. W. W. Wilson was in his
pulpit at night. and without pre- an
nouncement, proceeded to preach what
was presumed to be the annual Tenn
perance sermon, his text being from
Habakkuk, "WOe unto him that Civ
eth his neighbor drink, that putteth
the bottle to him and maketh HIM
drunken also, that thou mayest look
on their nakedness." With such
plain and unvarnished passage and the
speakers known decided convictions,
vigOr of voice and uncomprOmising at
titude towards evils that deteriorate
morally and physically the human
race, it was expected that he would
handle the "Minions of Satan" without
mercy, and he did. Starting out with
the proper regard for the opinions of
others, the effects of educa-
ton and the circumstances that con-
troll the lives of many in spite of them
selves, the antagonist of his race grew
in hideOusness as he contemplated his
misdeeds, until he stood out a mon
ster. The speaker was at his best in
energy and voice, and the roar of bat
tie was little heavy on the nervous
who had no chance of defense even if
left with an argument, and no means
of escape.
The discourse had many good points
strongly taken-not only the demands
of the church, but necessary for the
peace of the individual, the happiness
of the family and the stability of the
government, and the first half hour
where it retained the semblance of a
sermon was not without its impress
as a message from the sacred desk,
but the last half hour that not q few
considered more adapted to the
platform, had its effect according
to the mood Of the weary individual.
One of the subjects touched upon in
the latter part of the discourse was the
"cOncupiscense" of the judges, jurymen
and lawyers in working evil in various
ways to defeat local option in Talbot
county, Md.

The municipal management of New
York city has become so corrupt that a
large number of the clergymen in Obe-
dience to a call for meeting on Mon
day afternoon, met in the interest of
the Reform League. Father Ducey,
of st. Leo's Catholic Church, called the
meeting to order. In a brief address
he characterized the government of
the city as disgrace and a reproach
to the pastors of the city.
Rev. Mr.. McChesney was made
chairman of the meeting. He said
courageous, honest, capable men were
needed more than democrats, republi-
cans, prohibitionists. No political
party had a monopoly of good men.
Rev. nr. Cramer, chairman of the COM
mittee on organization made a report
saying funds and active young men
were needed. DR.. Howard Crosby
made characteristic speech. He did
uOb give ulI lib SASAAOAohiP "ASA
he became a voter, he said. He had
fought forty years against the city
government, and expected to until he
died. In an address, which he asked
all to sign, he scored the eity's cOrrup-
ton. Party spells must be broken, he
declared. What was wanted was a
pure city government. The address
was adopted.
Father Huntington offered resolu-
ton that the league support no candi-
date for mayor who is not accepted by
a majority of the labor organizations of
the city. DR.. Crosby opposed any en-
tangling alliance. The proposed resO-
luton caused heated discussion. The
matter was finally fixed by resolu-
ton asking the cooperation Ofall labor
organizations.
