The tariff bill became law on
Monday. While 1t does not secure all,
or nearly all, that n great majority of
Democrats desire in the way of greater
commercial freedom, 1t is u surely n
step In that direction. Chairman
Wilson in speech in the house, Aug.
13, said:
Whatever the measure of shortcom
ing of this bill in its present form
whatever be its dement's In mere
schedules this do know, that
IL Is better than the Mckinley
bill. This know, that In part Of 1t
it does afford some relief to the tax
payers of this country, and does clip
the wings of the gigantic monopolies
that are now expressing them and
blocking legislation. Take even those
portions Of the bill over which this
contest between the two houses has
been waged; take iron ore and coal,
upon which we have confronted. and
to certain extent unsuccessfully con
fronted, the great railroad syndicates
of the country; yet we have reduced
them both nearly so per cent below
the Mckinley bill. Take the sugar
schedule, over which the greatest of all
the contests between the two houses
has been waged. Vicious rs it may
be, burdensome to the people as
1t may be, favorable to the trust rs it
may be, 1t Is less vicious, less favorable
to the trust, less burdensome to the
people than is the Mckinley law, under
which this trust has grown so great rs
to oyershadow the American people.
And in a speech in the house, on
the same day, Speaker Crisp said:
II there is sugar trust in the
country which Is dominating legisla.
ton the republican party created It..
And though this bill does not destroy
that trust, as we wish 1t did, it takes
away more than one-half Of the pro
lection accorded to that trust. If
there is coal combine the legislation
of the republican party built it up,
and though we do not make coal free

Editor Watrous, In the last issue OF
his Milwaukee Telegraph, makes q
savage attack upon Wisconsin's senior
senator for as Watrous alleges -caus
ing the removal of Lieut.. Norman
Bull, of Prairie du Chen, from the
position Of tranfer mail clerk. Nc
evidence, further than mere assertion
Is furnished to show that Senator Villas
has had anything to do with the mat
ter. But why is It, that when Col
Watrous grieyes over the removal of a
soldier from government position
1t must always be Republican
soldier? Does he forget that Mr.
Villas, under Cleveland's first admins
tration, secured the position of In
dian Agent at Yakima, Washington,
for Capt. Thomas priestley, as brave
and deserving soldier as Wisconsin
furnished during the war? TO this
position Capt. Priestley was APP
pointed for four years. Does Col. Wat
rous remember how long he held 1t
after the change from the Cleveland
to the Harrison administrations Wis
consin had then two republican Sena-
tors, who, like Col. Watrous, love to
stand In the market place, and proclaim
their undying love for the soldiers.
Capt. priestley was-to use Col.
Watrouss expression" cowardly

publican worker, he was removed,
with indecent haste, from the position
which the Democratic administration
had bestowed upon him; and no pro.
test was uttered by either Senator
Spooner, Senator Sawyer, Col. Wat
rous, or by any other Republican
politician In Wisconsin. Oh, the
mockery of such professed love for
the soldiers! Oh, the thlnness of
such pretext for an attack upon Il
political opponent! viii Editor
Watrous please look over his files, and
tell us when he mourned and refused
to be comforted because Democratic
soldier had been removed from Office

DEVILS CAVE" WILL CLOSE
Meyers. the Proprietor of the IA.
loon, Has Lost Hts License.

Joseph Meyers, the proprietor of the
liquor store ut 263 Seventh avenue,
which Is known as the Devils Cave
was before the Board of Excise Com
mssioners to-day to defend COM
plant that his place Is the resort Of
improper persons.
Detectives Kosh and Jerolomen and
Policeman Day, OF Capt. Schmitt-
herger's STAFF In the Tenderloin dis
trict. were the complainants. Lawrence
Boyer, OF 100 West Twenty fifth street
was a principal witness, for he had
statistics showing the amount OF bust
ness that Meyers did in twenty-four
hours.
The evidence showed that the place
wns frequented by black and white
women, who were in and about the
place al all hours Of the day and night.
Mr.. Reyer. with his son, twenty-one
years old. watched the place from IL
o'clock Saturday night until e o'clock
on Monday morning, when the law al
lows saloon-keepers to resume business.
IN that time Mr.. Beyer swears he
saw 400 white and black women go In
and out of the store.
Mr.. Movers in his own behalf said
that women did come to his place. but
they had as much right there as any one
else. provided they had money to pay
for what they got.
The Board did not think so. and at
once revoked his license. They did not
get out OF their chairs to reach this de-
cision, and 1t was unanimous.
