hut Just Why Is Not Exactly Made
Clcar-TIie Failure OF Prohibition
In Several States Claimed to
DO Due to High license.

New YonH, June l2.-The Na.iona
Temperance Congress resumed its ses
sion this morning. A long discussion
arose over the topic "Should there be q
political party whose dominant idea Ia
the prohibition ofliquor traffic"
The Rev. Dr.. II. X. Carroll editor OF the
Independent, took the ground that such a
national purity was not needed. Political
talk then followed and the Rev. John
Brscom. late President o. the Wisconsin
University, said the Republican party is
now under the most unscrupu!ous lead
ers, and a Prohibition party must arise,
as tho Republican party could not be
trusted. The discussion was carried on
to some length.
The next subject taken up was "The
relation between temperance reform
and improved dwellings" II. Fulton
Cutting spoke Of the contrast between
the bright gay saloon and the depressing
tenement house, and heartily condemned
the former.
The first topic for discussion in the
afternoon programme was "To what
causes is to be attributed the failure Of
the prohibition amendments in the late
contests in Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania
and Rhode Island"
E: II. Faxon, Of Massachusetts, attrib-
uted the defeat in his State to high
license stand taken by the opposition
The feature OF the afternoon session
was the discussion OF the attitude OF the
labor unions toward the liquor traffic.
It was opened by Samuel Gompers.
He said that as rule laboring men
wero Indifferent to tho Temperance
and prohibition movement. Underpaid
laborers unable to procure proper
nourishment sought relief in liquor and
looked upon any attempts TO deprive
them OF it as q movement to secure for
them privileges which they could not
enjoy. Personally, Mr.. Gompers fav.
ored temperance.

WASHINGTON, June l2.-Mr. Porter,
Superintendent OF the Census, has been
informed by Mr.. Ashley, the Census
Supervisor Of the Fifth district Of Penn
sylvania, that his enumerators have
notified him that Hungarians and Poles,
and many Italians in Iackawanna, Lu-
zerne and Carbon counties have refused
to give any census information even to
interpreters. Many of these men are
designated by their employers by num-
bers, each man wearing his number on
his person and answering to it. The
Supervisor says that it is so. He will
direct his enumerators to take account Of
such employees by numbers, in this way
securing the nativity, age and occupa'
ton which in his opinion would be bet
ter than no information at all.
In his reply, Superintendent Porter
informs the Supervisor that it is impos-
sibletha the Census Office should help
TO perpetuatc such n state Of affairs as re.
ported, when large numbers Of laborers
are treated more like beasts OF burden
than men, and known only by numbers.

a Raid Made on Them In Kings nnd Queens
Counties Causes n Small Riot.
New YoRK. June 1.-THE stringent
measures adopted by tho Secretary OF
Agriculture to stamp out the virulent
disease OF pleuro pneumonia in cattle
from its last stronghold in the counties
of Kings and Queens on Long Island, has
created tremendous excitement aud rous-
ed the dairymen into an attitude OF armed
rebellion. It is understood that Secre-
tary Rusk has recently received private
intimation that unless this disease be
eifectually extirpated a severe quaran.
tine will be proclaimed by England
against the importation OF American
cattle. This would paralyze one OF the
most important branches OF American
induatry for the time being, aud result
in incalculable loss 10 Western cattle
raisers. Last week Secretary Rusk spent
two days in New York and energetica!ly
impressed upon bis subordinate officers,
Mr.. ". Judson Smith, government
agent for the Eastern States, and DR.. A.
X. Robertson. Chief Inspector for the
State Of New York, the urgent necessity
Of gathering in and killing all cattle dis.
eased or exposed. A great raid was
therefore organized and executed by
two gentlemen named at the head OF a
LARGE posse Of bureau employees.
The dairymen were not found unpre-
pared for vigorous resistance. They
launched paving stones, brickbats and
other missels upon the invaders, hand
to hand encounters took place and in
some instances pistols were drawn.
Some OF the herds were 80 strongly de-
Tended that the bureau forces were un-
able to capture them. Next day the
headquarters OF the bureau in Brooklyn
were in state Of siege. Dairymen and
dairywomen joined in 4 chorus OF ex.
ecration and denunciation. Some had
obtained wfits Of replevin which were
practically useless, as all Of the cattle
had been slaughtered. Meantime Dr..
Robertson and Special Agent Smith had
sought peace aud immunity in New
York City and only returned Yesterday
morning. 1t is understood that there
will be other raids, and that Secretary
Rusk will not modify the stringency OF
his measures until this last lurking place
OF pleuro.pneumouia be effectually con-
quered and clcansed.

A Appointment Democrat, residing in the

Ex-Governor Wilson and Anderson as 10

to the above mentioned gentleman al.

this character ut tho time OF the recount
in 1885, before Wilson would consent TO
take hand in tho practices which re.
suited in the giving OF certificate to a

time could see no other way out OF his
dii!icultice, and though he did not like
