The inquiry Bill.

Mr.. j. N. Stearns, Secretary of the
National Temperance Society, gives
the following condensed history of the
bill providing for a Commission of In
quiry into the effects of alcoholic Ii
Quors in the United States, which bill
was killed just before Congress ad-
journed by the vote of 81 Democrats
and % Republicans against, to 4
Democrats and SO Republicans in it's
favor, as recorded in last weeks
LEADER:
"'The bill was first introduced at the
request of Mr.. Aaron N. Powell, by
Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, Feb. Z,
1872. The next year it was introduce
ed in behalf of the National Temper
ance Society. and we have had it in
charge ever since. 1t was passed by
the Senate of the Forty third Congress
and by the Senate of each succeeding
Congress except the Forty sixth. We
have never been able to get it to a
fair vote in the House. About ten
years ago there was offered in the
House IA motion similar to the one
made this year, namely, that the bill
be taken up out of its calendar order
and passed. That motion required a
two thirds vote. We didn't get the
vote for the reason that the motion
was sprung without any notice and
when most of the friends of the bill
were absent.

NOT IN INHERENT RLGH 1T.

There is no inherent right in a citi-
zen to sell Intoxicating liquors by re-
tail it is not a privilege of citizen
of State or of citizen of the Unit
ed States.-U. s. Supreme Court, Cali
1oymia Us. Christensen.
II. CAN THE LEGISLATURE CON:
FER THE RIGHTs
No Legislature can bargain away
the public health or the public morals
The people themselves cannot do it,
much less their servants. Govern
ment is organized with view to their
preservation, and cannot divest itself
of the power to provide for them-U.
s. Supreme Court, Stone Us. Mississippi.
III. CAN THIS APPLY TO LICENSE
For we cannot shut out of view the
fact, within the knowledge of ALL
that the public health, the public
morals and the public safety may be
endangered by the general use of in
toxicating drinks nor the fact, estab-
lished by statistics accessible to every
one, that the disorder, panperism and
crime prevalent in the country are, in
some degree at least, traceable to this
-evil.-U. S. Supreme Court in Kansas
Cases.
The statistics of every State show a
greater amount of crime and misery
attributable to the use of ardent spir-
its obtained at these retail liquor sa-
looms than to any other source.-U. s.
Supreme Court, California gS. Chris
tidRsen.

Straight Talk.

We talk about the negro's simplici-
ty, and how easy it is to pull the wool
over his eyes, but if there ever was
time in the history of the world when
the people have been duped and led to
almost destruction, it has been the
farmers of this country. 1t is need
less to repeat how it is done. If
mistake not the times it will not be
doae much longer, for the farmers are
growing tired of pulling the chesnuts
out of the fire for the politicians.
Not even force bills, which we shall
certainly have unless this political oil
garchy is done away with, can keep
it off, for the noble Tillmanites have
proven they can carry their measures
when the negro and the oligarchy
combine. South Carolina and Kan
sas, two States as far apart as the
poles on most questions, have again
declared war, not against each other,
this time, but hand in hand lead off
with determination to strike off the
shackles of the oppressed farmers, and
they have sounded bugle call for the
south and west to follow them.-Cor-
respondent Raymond Gazette.

has been accepted as the program.

stitutional Convention and because

The LEADER has very little hope of
the peoples accomplishing the needed
reforms through either of the old po-
litical parties. They assuredly will
not as long rs they hold love of party
superior to the love of principle,
and blindly follow the old party lead

Window on the Liquor Traffic

Among prominent government of
fcials, there was no stronger advocate
of Prohibition than the late Secretary
Window, whose speech at Woodstock,
July 4, 1887, is forcibly called to mind
by his sudden death. On that occa-
sion he uttered these Strong words:
How to curtail aud finally destroy
this evil is the problem of the hour.
Its solution is next Oh the worlds cal
endar of progress. 1t has been called
for trial and cannot be dismissed or
postponed. The time has
therefore come when this issue must
be met. Political parties can no long
CT dodge it if they would. Private
citizens must take sides openly, for or
against the saloon with its methods
and results. Neutrality is henceforth
impossible; indifference is betrayal
of the sacred trust reposed in citizen
ship The saloon system is itself Il
league of law breakers, whose exam
pie affords most powerful stimulus
to disorder of all kinds. 1t openly
proclaims its purpose to disobey all
laws which interfere with its supreme
purpose to make money in It's own way
and at whatever sacrifice. By what
right does the saloon exist? | know
of none"

Alliance men are told by the poll
ticians and party bosses that they
must not make the Sub Treasury plan
an issue in the election of United
States Senators because by SO doing
they will disrupt the dear Democrat
ic party and endanger white suprema-
cy but if they do not, they will be
coolly told when the politicians have
carried their point and the Senators
are elected, that they cannot support
such measure as this, because the
relief demanded by the farmers was
not made an issue. In other words,
you'll be id if you do, and you'll be
id if you don't, and the party
bosses won't care d-n, so they have
their way and their men get the Of

Bro. L. II. Carlisle of the Clay Coun-
ty Leader, has long been looked upon
by the saloon advocates as one of the
crankiest of Prohibition cranks. But
things have suddenly changed. Bro.
Carlisle, in the exercise of that inde-
pendent judgment and courage for
which he has always been noted, has
lately seen fit to declare against the
Sub Treasury bill, and now he is be-
ing complimented and approvingly
quoted by certain whisky editors who
are fighting the Alliance platform, as
though he were a second Solomon.

bill, Senator George fav"rs the issuing
of treasury notes till they equal $40
per head of the population of the
country. This in effect means treas
ury notes to an amount equaling $3.50, :
100000 to $3.50, 100000. The interest

going to get this increased sum of

cannot be distributed gratis. They
must be paid out for something done.

The Ferce hiIPs Backset.

The elections bill Was laid on the shelf.
10y the Senate yesterday (Monday) to
take up the apportionment bill If it
comes to the front again after being
turned down the second time, il viii
have 20 be credited with as persistent vi
tality as the proverbial cat, although it
cannot claim as much usefulness or value
as that domestic animal.
But there is not much likelihood that
it viii display that vitality. The Senate
has now left only five weeks in which
to do practically all the work of the ses-
sion. That time Is not more than suf-
ficient to give proper scrutiny to the ne
cessary appropriation bills. Even if at
tention should be devoted exclusively to
that purpose, greet many of them
would have to be pushed through in a
way that would give the greatest facility
to jobs. Some of the Republican lead
ers are foolish enough to permit neces-
sary legislation to suffer, in order to car
~ out their darling hope of legislating
an indefinite extension of power for
their party; but the indications are
multiplying that others of them are be
ginning TO understand the people viii
not stand much more of that sort of
policy.
We think the elections bill is finally
and conclusively defunct 1t would
have been better for its supporters if its
demise had happened earlier. They
have shown their utter blindness to any
other consideration than prolonging
their power by act of Congress, and af-
ter thus exposing themselves they have

The Big St0rm In the West.

NEW YORK, Jan 16.-It will take
nearly 1000, 900 in cold cash and two
weeks of incessant labor to repair the
damage done by the storm of Saturday
night TO the telegraph, telephone and
electric companies hereabouts
The destructive effects of the storm ex-
tended over comparatively limited
area. A short distance below Philadel-
phia was the southern limit of telegraph
demorliZation, and Boston WAS the
northern limit. Old telegraph hands
said that their had been nothing like the
present storm since the famous sleet
of Sunday, January %, 1881, when the
telegraph lines all through the East were
paralyzed.
An idea of what wrecking OF lines WAS
done may be gathered from the fact that
out of 1,500 running out OF this
city the Western Union had but three
wires working this afternoon The Pos
tai Telegraph Company actually has not
one wire working from the city, while
the Metropolitan Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company roughly estimate that
$500 of its wires are laid low. The to-
tai damage to companies mentioned
which viii result from this condition of
affairs is estimated at 100000. Two
weeks of unceasing effort will be re-
quired to get the wires back into the con-
dition " hich existed before the storm
broke.

CONGRESSMAN JAMES KEER, Chairman
Of the Democratic State Central Commit
tee of Pennsylvania, yielding TO the
solicitations of his many Democratic
friends in the present and next House,
has consented to be a candidate for
clerk Of the next House of Representa-
sives.
Mr.. Kerr has many claims upon the
Democratic party, which should not be
overlooked. 1t was due to his efforts,
more than any other Democrat in the
Fifty-first Congress, that the State of
Pennsylvania elected Democratic Gov
ernor and gained several members in
the next Congress. 1t will be remem-
bered, also, that while Mr.. Kerr was Sc
curing these results he sacrificed his own
return to Congress.
Another particularly strong argument
in his favor is that he comes from a sec
ton of country which has no candidate
for Speaker, and his candidacy can,
therefore, not interfere with the cleo
ton of that officer. Then the Office Of
clerk to the House of Representatives
has been held by PENNSYLVANIA almost
since the founding of the Government,
and there is no reason for departing from
the time-honored custom.

A FiendIsh Father.

NEW EGYPT, n. Y, Jan. 24.-Fiend-
ish cruelty was perpetrated by John
Meiser, an Ocean county farmer, living
near here, upon his son, who is not yet
years of age.
The child was in the house at the
time and committed some slight offence.
The father fled into a rage, and, seizing
the child, placed it upon the top Of a
hot stove, burning its flesh in a terrible
manner.
The screams of the child quickly
brought its mother to the scene, and she
carried it to another room, where she
dressed its injuries rs best she could.
Meiser was ashamed TO admit that he
did the deed Intentionally, and said he
merely held the boy over the stove to
frighten him, but that he accidentally
dropped him.
Immediately after the affair Meiser
fled to escape arrest. The child's con-
dition is CT itical.
