GIN MILLS in THE CAPITOL.
Tho Unlicensed Liquor Selling Sanctioned
by Our August Law Makers.

Tho Unlicensed Liquor Selling Sanctioned
by Our August Law Makers.
The following extracts from syndicate
letter sent out from Washington. show
how the nations lawmakers make a
practice of daily defying the liquor laws
of the District of Columbia.
"Therc is ali impression abroad that
Speaker Reed has made IL great reform
in the management of the House restau-
rant. 1t is generally supposed that in
consequence of an order issued by the
Speaker some weeks ago, Prohibition,
with Il big r.. is in full swing in the
House restaurant. Nothing could be
falser than that impression. 1t is true
that some time ago Mr.. Reed did give an
order for the restriction and regulation
of the liquor traffic in the rcstau-
rant. and he did not place any OBJ
stacle in the way of having tho
report very generally published and cir
culated. The order whatever the real
character may have been. was given pri-
vately and verbally to the restaurant
keeper. 1t has never been put on paper,
and neither the Speaker nor the reStau-
rant man has ever yet told just what the
order was. The Speaker seemed quite
willing at the time that it should be re-
but for his own part he cvaded all qucs-
tions on the subject and refused to spec
ify. Prohibition, however, does not in
fact prevail in the House restaurants
You can walk into tho restaurant any
day and be served with anything from a
bottle of beer to plain whisky.
"Thc complete fixtures belong to tho
House, and the restaurant keeper gets
the use of them for nothing. Furniture,
cutlery, china. complete table and bar
service. light. fuel and ice are furnished
by the Government without a cent of
charge to the caterer.
ga brisk business in liquors is done in
both the Senate and House restaurants,
yet neither the one nor the other is IL
cenSed. 1t is curious that here in the
Capitol of the United States, of all places
in the world, under the eyes and under
the auspices of Congress, an unlicensed
liquor traffic should be flourishing. The
Capitol Is not subject to the police laws
of the city Of Washington. 1t is Il sane
tuary where the will of congressman is
law and the comfort of Congressman Il
study of all who serve there.
"The liquor traffic of the Senate end
of the Capitol is carried on at present
without any attempt at secrecy, although
at intervals in times past the fictitious
nomenclature and the crockery blinds
now used in the House restaurant were

Sister-hearts, i'll loyal beating,
Take soldier-brother' greeting;
Let him. from the thinning ranks,
Feebly voice the chorus'd thanks
OF every soul to country true,
OF widows, misunderstanding you;
That with the orphans prayers ascend,
And in heavenly echo blend,
Where camp our comrades. gone before,
A hero host on the other shore.
You cheer'd us in the hour of strife,
When battling for our nation S life;
But you d your days of misery sore,
With black grief's shadow at the door,
In wage of war men could unite;
Alone you faced the starless night
OF prayer and tears, of agonized pain,
Lest one you gave be midst the slain,
Your bitter woe-twns that alloy
Cheapen'd our prize-the victor's JOY;
1t seemed is though our banner threw
The stars for us its stripes for you.
What S battle-qualm-tow woman S fears?
What bullet-let blOOd-to woman s tears?
What, saber-cut-to n fond heart cleft?
What a soldiers death-to a wife bereft?
Sisters We knew the fight Won fought.
For you the martyrs crown We wrought;
EnJwined It's, round our hearts for you
For each and all-n tribute due;
And green our gratitude to-day
As Ger Were leaves of wreatled bay,
That crowned Il brow, for battle planned
And won by might of bloody hand.
A man was stricken, sank and died,
The woman lived-but crucitied;
Each day, each hour renewed her pain,
And nailed her to the cross again.
Your wounds, mnyhap, vet bleed and smart
But SORROWS the school OF woman's heart;
Each palg, in silence borne, still shows
A soothing balm for others woes.
As once midst strife and trumpet's blare
IN quiet OF peace we breathe our prayer;
God bless the hands that MD distress,
God bless the words of tenderness;
God bless the winning smile that cheers,
God bless the precious, healing tenrs
Thanks F.! for each kindly, prompting thought
For shrinking want, your zeal outsought;
For ccor'ng errands your feet have sped
For Vanished bodies your doles have fed;
For cares relieved for griefs dispelled,
For pains assuaged, for hands upheld;
For faithful watch by humble bed,
For sacred ministry DER our dead;
For that self-giving leads you through
The noble work you find TO do.
And thanks to bounteous God above
For womans all-hallowd, untiring love.
You, Mercy's soldier, fight to save!
War 'gainst sorrow want, the grave.
For all the holy deeds you've done,
Thanks only here on earth you We won;
But every blessing God can shower
Awaits you at that supreme hour
When, in the drend. far-distnnt land,
Before the great White Throne you stand,
From Him who died on Calvary
The Christ of love and charity
This shall your glorious welcome be:
"As to the least of these We did
SO did ye unto me-"
