CanvaSsin

Bell-ringing canvassing is hard
business. The LADIES HOME Jour
NAL is universally wanted. Most of
the people would take it if some one
would ask them to. There's work
in everything where there's profit,
but there's more profit and less work
in some things than in others. It is
easy to get subscriptions for THE
LADIES HOME JOURNAL ; easier than
to get them for any other publication
anywhere. 1t is rapid work and
profitable. It reduces the disagree
ableness of canvassing to minimum.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The indica-
tions are that this week the senate will
undertake the discussion and perhaps
the decision of one of the most impor-
tant political questions that has arisen
in that body in late years: namely, the
right of a governor of state to fill a
vacancy in the United States senate
| which occurred while the legislature
was in session. The report of the two fac
! tions of the committee will be pre-
sented and as the disposition is when
once these cases are before the senate,
to push them to a conclusion as rapidly
as is consistent with the proper express
| sion of the views of all senators who
have examined the questions involved
and desire to make their sentiments
known, it is probable that instead of
| taking a three days recess the senate
will sit almost daily.
The unknown quantity on the calcu
latiOn of the weeks work is the dispo-
sition of the leaders on the other side
| touching the matter of reorganization.
1t is expected that the democrats,
through Mr.. German, will present the
caucus nominations for senatorial NOM
nations early in the week, probably in
executive session and if serious con-
troversy threatens to follow, the mat
ter may be brought before the public
through proceedings in open session

Interest in the Result.
The trial of Henry Bush. manager Of the BAN
ner Brewing Company Of Cincinnati, on q
charge Of conducting his bar in alleged violation
Of the new liquor law, although he has license
under the old law, attracted many keepers Of
saloons to the Police Court this morning. The
case had been set for today, but when it was
learned that there were 20 MANY other cases on
the docket the judge thought the case would
have to 60 over u ntil tomorrow.
last several hours. He understood that all the
saloonkeepers in the city had been summoned
for the defense and the argument would also
consume some time.
Under the circumstances the judge said he
would let the case so over until tomorrow, and
it would be the only jury trial heard.
The decision is Of great interest to the saloon
men because if Mr.. Pugh is sustained in his
position that the present licenses under the
old law do not hold good it means q renewal of
the license, and the renewal will have to be
made under the new Law, the license fee being
S4OO.
Should the court sustain Mr.. Pugh he will not
ask for the imposition of fine, as the case was
brought for the express purpose Of testing the
law and have the court give q decision As to the
claimed repeal of the old license by the now
law.
On the side Of the liquor men it Is believed
that the decision will be favorable to them
They claim that section II Of the now act settles
the question by stating that all applicants
having license during the preceding year shall
apply for q renewal Of such license on or before
the LIST day of November.
