DRINK AT THE CAPITAL.
The Temperance Sentiment Growing
Among Statesmen.

The Temperance sentiment Growing
Among Statesmen.
In nothing is the change more marked
than in the line of temperance. There
are still among senator's and represen-
tatives many who are addicted to the
flowing bowl, and probably in more
than one committee-room q suspicious
bottle may be secreted, but its devotees
arc not SO numerous as they once were.
In the days before the war there was
in the basement of the senate wing of
capital what was known as the Hole
in the WALL" where whisky and other
liquors were sold as in any bar-room,
and this place was patroniZed by many
of the noted senators and representa-
tives of the ante-bellum period. Some
of them spent a good share of their
time in the Hole" only leaving when
ever their votes were needed on some
important question. Under the rules
of both branches of congress the sale of
Intoxicating liquors is now prohibited
in the capital, and when one obtains it
in the restaurants there it is usually
drunk from a teacup. This practice has
caused whisky bought in the building
to be designated as ''cold tea" Now
and then a spasm of virtue among the
governing officials finds vent in rigid
suppression of the traffic, and for
weeks and months at stretch it is diff
ficult to obtain the beverage at either
of the restaurants. Rules are generally
more strictly enforced at the begin
ing of a session than later on. With
the growth of temperance sentiment
throughout the country has come an in
crease in the number of senators and
representatives who are teetotalers.
Some years ago the Congressional
Temperance society was founded by
the late Vice President Wilson and
some of his associates, its object being
to save from drunkards' graves certain
brillia Mt members of both houses who
unfortunately seemed unable to con-
troll their appetites. 1t holds annual
meetings that grow more and more
popular and interesting year by year.
George Harold Walker, in Chautau-
guam.
So MANY of the political clubs in Eng
land have been such famous resorts for
drinking and smoking that it has been
determined, in one club at least. to
discontinue the sale of liquors In the
National Liberal club 100. 900 cigars
and 10000 cigarettes were sold last
rpaf alone

A MALICIOUS LIE ABOUT Mr.. FASsETT.

At 10 time in the canvass has the Republican State
Committee through its members charged hr. Flower
With any infamous offences. His personal character
has been free from abuse and malicious slander. Inc
advocates of the of RepubHcansm outside OF the
committee have charged Mr. Flower with being the
creature Of Tammauy Hall, but not even his closest
friends attempted to deny that charge damaging

Nevertheless last night three officials OF the Demo
cratic state Committee sent out circular with rlelr
names boldly affixed falsely charging Mr. Fassctt win
bribery and intimidation. This charge Is audaclouhW
made without any attempt 10 cor oborate 1t. But vcou
and unmanly as this attack is upon the personal
character OF MI. Fassett IT Is line with the
campaign OF vilihcson and fasehoods used by this
committee. Up to last night 1t had refrained from
publishing signatures the Infamous lies which u

AGAIN EXCITED.

LOW CHURCH EPIsCOPALIANs OF ORANGE ~ j.
AGAIN EXCITED.
The excitement over the rtualistic innovations Of
the Rev. Frank d. Rcazor. the rector of st. Marks
Church of Orange, n. j., revived again yesterday
and the Low Church party in the parish are at white
heat of indIanaon Yesterday being the first Sunday
in the month"; and also All Saints Day, one Of the
high festivals Of the Episcopal Church, the Rev. N.Y.
Reazor had high celebration Of the Holy Communion.
There were a number OF distinct novelties introduced
into the service, to which the congregation OF st.
Marks had been unaccustomed. The first was the
leaving of the chancel by the officiating priest after
saving morning prayer, and coming In again with the
Eucharistic vcstments The candles the altar had
in the meantime been lighted by the acolytc. These
were I'm new pair of handsome brass candlesticks,
placed on the altar for the first time yesterday, In
memory Of Samuel osborne Robinson, a former YES
tryman of the church. by his widow; but the greatest
novelty came later. In the parish. from time imme-
ora IL has been the custom after the prayer for the
Church militant for the minister to make pause OF
from five to ten minutes TO allow all those who did
not desire to receive the communion TO leave the
church. This practice Mr.. Reazor determined to break
up. and when the prayer for the Church militant
had been finished he Immediately began the general
exhortaton Tho congregation taken by surprise
and after few moments Of ndecislon the Low Church
members arose and began general movement toward
the doors The Rev. Mr.. Reazor paid no attention to
them but went on with the service.
A scene OF great confusion followed and II some
tine before the congregation quietcd down. The Low
Church party In the parish up In arms. Another
innovation followed which caused even more In
dgnaton. After the conservation OF the r clemens a's
hrs created buzz OF excitement all over the city in
Episcopal circles. 1t is generally thought That the
t',t no will not swerve lairsbnadh from the lines
which he has laid down for himself.

REPORT THAT ALL FREE LABOR MINES ARE TO

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. To-day has been quiet
one throughout the mining district where the eonvicts
were released Friday night. Most OF the released
prisoners still at large in the mountains Of Eastern
Kentucky. Thus far nothing definite has been heard
from Governor Buchanan to what action he WHY
take in reference to the work OF the miners on Frdhy
night There is much talk among the laboring classes
about the convicts In the Oliver Springs Mines, ana
unless some unexpected influence Is brought to bear on
ho miners rush may be made on the miners at tuat
place.
A report has gained currency. which lacks cohhrma
tlon that movement is foot to close down all the
mines in this part of the South where free labor is
employed II this is done, there will be coal famine
as the present supply is limited and would last ony
few days.

THE Ex-MAYoR SEES no DANGER TO THE
DEMOCRACY IN FLOWERS DEFEAT.
The letter written by ex-Mayor Abram ).
Hewitt on the subject of the bearing and I'M
portance of the present campaign is so full OF
sound commonscnse that The Tribune presents
il TO its readers again this morning. MIR. Hewitt
is not novice in the field Of politics nor
blind partisan who believes in placing party before
country or State. He is, the contrary,
man with years OF experience in public life ana
full and complete knowledge of the dark ana
crooked ways OF Tammany Hall. No one has
advocated the principles Of Democracy in the halls
of Congress and before the people more strongly
than he but he knows that the principles Tor
which he fights are not to be advanced py paclhs
this great State within the clutches Of the sordid
and corrupt organization that is now disgracing
the city. In taking the position he does ne
is doing patriotic duty in helping to
save the State from degradation and worse, and
far-sighted act from partisan's point OF view
in trying to make IL possible for his party to free
itself from the iron rule of its lowest and most
selfish clements Mr. Hewitts letter was written
in reply to a letter from William Hess, of No
1,490 Lexington-ave., asking the eN-Mayor's
opinion concerning the effect which Mr.. Flowers
defeat might have on the next PRESIDENTIAL elec-
ton. 1t was as follows:

Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of the 2,th

leve that the defeat or election Of the Democratic
candidate for Governor will have the slightest In
f1ucncc upon the Presidential election next year.
You will readily that IL we are to give our
votes in view of future contingencies. without re-
gard to present conditions, we shall never be able
TO secure good government. The control now poe
sessed by machine politicians will be perpetuat1l

the government of the people, by the people and
