THE HOUSE RUM-MILL CLOSED.
BY order Of Speaker Reed, the House Res
taurant closed its liquor bar last week. Conn
plant had been made to the Speaker that
whisky, beer and wine were being dispensed in
the restaurant in the most open manner, and
quite number Of members united i'll asking
that a nuisance of this kind, which was dis
grace TO the whole country, should be abol-
ished. When the order was issued recently TO
clear the corridors of the Capitol building of
stands for the sale of photographs, etc, again
the attention Of the Speaker was called TO the
fact that these harmless stands should not be
closed and the bar left open. Consequently on
Thursday last Mr.. Reed called the proprietor
Of the restaurant to his room, and gave tho
IHhb suDulu nc SNlh al MS littSSl
except the wines which might DO called for
with meals served. 1t is understood that the
alleged proprietor of the restaurant has been
quito prominent worker in connection with
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
but this man may be only the manager of the
place. Il will be great loss TO the revenues
OF the House Restaurant 10 prohibit the sale of
whisky and beer. for they have kept two bar
tenders busy every day during the session Of
that body, but the Speaker thinks the morals
of the House will be improved, aud rs he con-
trolls the situation il has been so ordered and
will be obcyed, and the thirsty viii have to
look elsewhere for material which not only
cheers but very frequently inspires Congress-
men to eloquence. The Speaker has unlimited
control over the privileges of the House end of
the Capitol, and his word, therefore, is supreme
law.
