tied by the opposition with the joint au-
horship OF the compromise amendments
which consolidated the Democratic side
and Mr. German especially has been
subjected to much criticism. both in

day, replying in a measure TO the at
tacks that had been made upon him,
explaining the necessity for the COM
promise and defining the theory upon
which the modified bill. now before
the senate, was constructed. attracted
intense interest. 1t was regarded as an
exceedingly able exposition OF the po-
sltion Of the conservatives, Mr. Cor
mans speech furnished texts for the
Republicans for the remainder OF the
day. His statement that majority OF
the senate would support the bill was

First, last and always / am a Prohi BIZ

because, if righteously administered, it's
tendency will be toward prohibition.
If our good temperance people would

objections to it would disappear. For
If the bill is carried we shall continue TO
have "local option" in Massachusetts,,
and the same proportion of towns and
cities voting no-license that we now
have.
But in the towns and cities that vote
for license, the Norwegian system offers
chance for great improvement. 1t can
only be adopted in those places by a
majority vote. But then it eliminates
the element of personal profit from the
sale of liquor, which now keeps it alive
aud makes it fourishing. 1t extin-
guishes the saloon, as it now exists, u
noxIous agent in politics, the headquar-
tiers of a most dangerous class, and a
perpetual menace to the community.
And it transfers the control of liquor
selling from the very worst elements OF
society to the hands of men who abomi-
nate the whole business and only con-
sent to take charge of it that they may
minimize its evils and ultimately ex-
tinguish them. don't wonder that the

one part promise to the laboring man.

breakfast table and dinner pail, all in
the interests of the hard hearted bond
holders and manufacturers. From one
end of the country to the other the

by hired stump orators until thousands
dences all about them of plenty and pros
perity, actually came to believe them.

falsifiers, and especially the First dis

IF the Democratic party comes into
power it will revise the Mckinley bill
and give the laboring man fair wages,
which will allow him to lay up few

The expected message from the Presi.
dent on the seigniorage bill did not go
to Congress yesterday. The reason for
the delay is not made public. 1t is hard
~ probable that it was occasioned
by any change Of purpose on the part Of
the President. Certainly there is little
ground for inferring from it that: the
President has decided to allow the bill
to become law without his signature.
That would be policy of cowardice
which the President will not be guilty

vetoed.
