The scene in the House was such as is rare
Iy seen. The galleries were crowded. The
session lasted until o'clock, P. n. The ex-
element was intense. At first there were
noisy demonstrations. Then faces depicted
the most intense suppressed anxiety. At
times the silence was painful.
The distinguished leaders of the lobby
moved about among the members They had
consultations here and there. Members were
pleaded with Arguments often used were
employed for last time.
The scene as viewed from the galleries was
a thrilling one. When it was all over, every
body felt relieved Nerves that had been
held at their highest tension were relaxed.
The relative position of the various cities
did not change during the entire days ballot
ing.

New York and Chicago gained some
strength from both st. Louis and Washing

away to Chicago.

man of the Worlds Fair Committee, omitted
to vote from first to last. Mr.. Carlisle voted
for ST. Louis continuously.
A few of the members who are opposed to

FriShtfuI Ravages of the Influenza
in the City of Mexico.

Privates letters from the City of Mexico
state thai the grip has been more widespread
and persistent in its ravages there than any
where else on the American continent.
A letter OF recent date says: The pro-
gress of the influenza here and its results
have been truly terrific. The poor have died
absolutely like sheep-sometimes 125 day.
Just now the supply of collins is exhausted
and many bodies are buried without them"

Senator Brice.

The election of Brice in Ohio has been
accomplished, and the probabilities are
that there will be no opposition to his ad-
mission to the Senate. He is a shrewd
man of business and has not entered upon
this speculation without being well assur-
ed that there would be q fellow feeling
for him among the millionaires of the Sen
ate, and although an '1inhabitant' of the
state of New York, and not Of the state
he proposes to represent as is required by
the Constitution the probabilities are that
during the next six years his name will
stand as one of the Senators from thai
Commonwealth His election, however,
ia unfortunate, not only for the country,
but for the Democratic part, of which he
is distinguished leader. Democrats
claim for themselves great devotion to
the Constitution, are the strictest sort ol
constructionists, and how they can excuse
this violation of one of their most revered
principles it is difficult to understand
And if Cleveland does not bring upon
himself condemnation for the part he has
taken he can be accounted very lucky.

How Brice got His Seat.

A Springfield, o., Democrat is quoted as
follows regarding the election of Calvin
Brice, to be Z. S. Senator for Ohio "On
the day preceding the caucus, Mr.. Brice
became very much alarmed, the indica-
tions being the caucus would be postponed.
He was afraid, owing to the fact Knapp
was dead that Lawlor was reported dead,
that there were four absentees, and that
five members were absent acting as pail
bearers at Mr.. Knapp's funeral The re-
suit was that Mr.. Brice sent agents out
and bought up men ike hogs, paying from
IS, GOO to -, coo per head. These Legisla-
tors were approached under disguise and
in some instances a proposition was made
to the effect that Briee would pay all their
election expenses and give them hand
some sum besides.
The Brice agents We're so audacious as
to 90 to a certain candidate, | will not
name him, but it was not Mcmahon, and
offered to pay all his expenses to date il
he would withdraw"
The candidate evidently was Mr.. Thom.
as.
The Democrat further stated that Rep
resentative Molder, of Erie county, who
left thomas for Brice, was elected by Mr.
Thomas influence. Auditor William Bond
of the county, received $500 from Thomas
to make the fight in his county. Politica
matters in reference to the SecretaryshiI
are incandescent here now, and more
startling stories of how Brice secured hi
seat are promised.

Teach the Elements of Morals

Seldom has public utterance of a cler-
gyman met with so hearty and general
q response as DIR. Howard Crosby's Presby-
tcrian Union speech of last week against
the teaching of any sectalian or theologi-
cal religion in the public schools. There
resides in the State no right to tax He
brew, Mohammedan or an agnostic for
the support of schools in which even the
broadest kind of Christian theology is
taught, and to impose such tax would
suggest, first o division of the proceeds
among religious sects, and the end of all
practical public control of the schools
which were founded to teach the elements
Of citizenship. The only religion which
can Justly be taught in the common
schools is the religion of humanity, the
obligations of moral duty toward our fell

should be taught even in the primary
schools, instead of being at the top

Down With the Internal Reve-
nue..

INSTEAD of tinkering at the tariff, we
would like to see our representatives at
Washington 60 to work on the Internal
Revenue, as we believe it to be curse to
the Nation.
IT was a war measure and we see no
necessity for continuing it. 1t has foster
ed monopoly and made millionaires OF the
Guckenheimers and Lorillards 1t has
made the liquor business-its manu1ac-
ture, the wholesaling and the retailing OF
1.-THE best paying business in the coun-
try; and it is the cause of such universal
adulterat;on of whisky that it is said to be
impossible to get glass of pure liquor al
the bar of any hotel in the forty states.
The tax on grain alcohol, now imposed
by the National Government is $l.SO per
gallon. Grain alcohol Is used in preserv-
ing all the tinctures used as medicine, and
this tax trebles the price of nearly all the
medicines used. A bottle OF spirits oil cam
phor. for instance, for which we now pay
rs and so cents could be sold by the drug
gists with better profit at % cents, If
this tax was removed 1t makes monop-
DIV of this manufacture Of whisky-a poor
man cannot now 60 into the business; he
has rot the money to pay the tax.
1t causes adulteration-the price is made
80 high by the tax that both wholesalers
and retailers adulterate the liquor, and
the consumer pours liquid into himself
that creates an intense desire for more and
finally makes him an imbecile.
The liquor business as it stands to-day
is a curse to the Nation, and the Internal
Revenue is its foundation. An effort
should be made Immediately TO repeal the
law, and any Republican voting against 1t
should be blacklisted, for it should be TAX
en- for granted that he has Guckenheimer
or Lorillard money in his pocket. The
majority of the Democratic members
would probably vote against It's
repeal, as they want to keep
up the surplus in the treasury, SO that
they can howl for free trade. The men
who have made millions under the Inter
mai Revenue will fight hard against its re-
peal, and that is very good reason for
its repeal. What is so very good for the
few, is an evil to the many.
