When the formulation of legislation

lately entered upon by the Congress,
nothing was further from my anticipa-
ton than n result which | could not
promptly and enthusiastically indorse.
1t is, therefore, with Il feeling of the

to Il denial of this privilege.
| do not claim to be better than the
masses of my party, nor do | wish to
avoid any responsibility which, on ac.
count OF the passage of this law.
ought to bear as a member OF the
Democratic organization; neither will
| permit myself to be separated from
my veto of the tariff egisiation which
though disappointing, is still cliarga'
BILE to Democratic effort.
INCONSISTENCIES AND CRuDITIEs.

are II Populista in Congress, eight

All of them have been energetic in
Introducing bills, and most Of their
bills called Tor appropriations. We
have been making some calculations
OF the possibilities Of Pnpulism
during the past week. All the bills
introduced by the Populists have
been preserved in their printed
form, and the appropriations they
call for have been added up. Ii all
the bills introduced by them had
passed, it would be difficult to see
where the money would come from.
The measures introduced by our
Il Po,ulist friends in Congress in
the gross call for appropriations ag-
gregating $40, 0oO, 900 900. Think
of this, you honest farmer, who
might be seriously contemplating
casting a Populist ballot next fall.
Let us figure a little more. If there
was a Populist majority in both
houses of Congress and they all in

LIQUOR LAW VIOLATION.
Otto Schissel Arrested for Selling @
Child n Bucket of Beer.

Two arrests were made yesterday for al
legged violations of the liquor-selling law,
and one of the accused Is a druggist. The
day was quiet, and the officers report they
had littls trouble In getting saloon keepers
to pull down their blinds and allow an in
spection of their places Of business. A lit
tie difficulty was experienced on West
Washington street. The saloon keepers in
the vicinity Of West street seemed in
clined to worry the officers. Many of them
had crowds in their saloons, but the police
are of the opinion that the crowds collected
as an annoyance and not to buy drinks.
Where a saloon keeper became obstreper-
Gus a man was placed within and ordered
to remain there so long as the proprietor
tolerated the crowd and made apparent at
tempts to violate the law. ~, 3
During the forenoon patrolman Simpson
discovered a little girl coming from. the

corner of West street and the canal. She
carried a bucket in which was beer, which
she said she had purchased of Schissel.
Simpson walked into the saloon and in
formed Schissel that he was under arrest.
He offered a vigorous protest, but 1T was
useless, and the wagon was called. The Off
GERS were surprised at the arrest, for they
have always regarded SchisSel as a strict
observer of the law. &
About the same time of day patrolman

walked back to the stove, presumably for
the purpose of warming himself: He stood
there for some time talking with Mr.. Coff-
man of the events of the day. Presently a
customer entered and asked for a quarters
worth of whisky. Mr.. Coffman stepped be-
hind the prescription counter and poured
out the liquor. The customer put the bot
tie in his pocket, and then Hoffbauer
stepped forward and placed Coffman under
arrest. The customer vowed that the
whisky was for medicinal purposes. and
he then purchased o cents worth of quinine
TO prove it. Nevertheless, Coffman had to
take a ride to headquarters.
