PROHIBITION PROHIBITS.

It looks as if the Sunday liquor
law prohibited in New York city
Sunday before last. Saloons did
not open, and clubs were treated in
the same manner as saloons. Ho-
tells furnished drink with their reg
ular meals, and their thirsty Gus
toners all took biscuit with their
drink.
The policemen said they never
saw anything like it. There we're
no fights reported at police head
quarters after midnight Saturday
night.
The saloon keepers, as far as
could be seen, were afraid even to
admit their closest friends.
1t was the topic of conversation
on every side.

BISHOP IRELAND on PROHIBITION.
We thought we meant business
years ago in this warfare, but |
hope God will forgive us for our
weakness, for we went into the
battlefield without sufficient rcso-
luton. We lab0rcd under the fatal
mistake that we could argue out
she question with the liquor sell
.ers. We imagined there was some
power in moral suasion; that when
we would show them the evil of
their ways they would abandon the
traffic. We have seen there is no
hope of improving in any shape or
form the liquor traffic.
There is nothing now to be done
but to wipe it out completely. I
have lost too much of my time
striving in the past to repair the
fearful evils wrought by the liquor
traffic. | have lost too much time
in speaking of total abstinence in
hall and pulpit to men who while
listening were with me, but who
out in in the streets would be i'll

resolutions. Well, some of us are

Now, in order to succeed, | wish
to enroll every man. We Catho-

nations to do away with that terri

saloon All those who violate the
law and disgrace us go into the sa-
loon first, and would we be patriots,
would we be Americans, if we did
not turn round and meet with our
whole strength the spring of crime,
the aCCursed saloon?
So come and say to your friends
that you have enlisted for war, but
sneaning business this time, clean
out the whole institution of DIAM
selling. We are blessed in every
way. There is not in the world

what we have to fear is intemper-
ance, the one curse in country or

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, March II, 1895.

Wushi7o qtoao, March II, 1895.
A decidedly sensational proposition
was made and discussed at Washing
ton dinner party which was attended
by ten gentlemen, among whom were
several who rank as leaders in the
republican and democratic parties in
Congress. The proposition came
from a democrat, and was in sub
stance that the republican House
should as soon as it assemblies either
resolution for the impeachment of Mr..
Cleveland, because of the written and
verbal contract he made contrary to
law with that foreign syndicate for
which the information comes makes
it impossible to use names. The pro-
poser of the scheme stated very can
didly that his party would stand a
much better chance in the campaign
next year with Stephenson as Presi-
dent than it will with Cleveland, and
said that if all the republican and pop
ulist Senators would pledge themselv-
es to vote for impeachment he would
guarantee a sufficient number of dem
ocratic votes to make the necessary
two thirds to impeach. No promises
were made by the republicans.

A good many people in these parts
will be interested in the new pension
law, making the minimum rate of
pensions six dollars a month. The
law took effect Immediately upon the
approval of the act, which is dated
March 2, 1895, and has resulted in
Immediately raising to six dollars all
pensions now paid at a less rate than
six dollars, but all persons granted
pensions who would under previous
laws have received two dollars, three
dollars Or four dollars will be about
six dollars. 1t is not necessary for
persons now on the rolls to make
application for this increase, nor
employ an attorney, but under the
operation of the law itself they will,
on the next pension payment, re-
ceive the increased amount. All of
which will be good news for many a
Vermont pensioner.

Grout is largely due the adoption by
the House of Representative of the

sions below Sc a month to that sum.
Gen. Grout was member of the
conference committee and he earn
estly urged its adoption. The general

the interests of the veterans are at

1T ENDS.

Thanks to the people of the United
States, law making by the Democratic
party ceases. We have had two
years of it, and not one man in ten, it
is safe to say, wants any more law
making by his own party. Neither
Democrats nor Republicans would
ever have believed, until the expert
ment had been tried, that the failure
of that party could have been SO COM
plete and so humiliating.
Two enactments and one disastrous
effort tell the whole story. All the
routine bills may be ignored; it was
to be expected that Congress would
vote money enough to itself and it's
| partisans in office.
The first important act was the re-
| peal Of the silver purchasing clause.
| Purely for partisan reasons, this was
represented as measure of the high
est Importance, but it has not proved
Of any practical service whatever.
There is yet the possibility that Eng
land and Germany may be pushed
into some sensible action regarding
silver, but the idea of the President
that the repeal would restore pros
perity and revive business has proved
completely erroneous. 1t is the plain
fact that there has been no other re-
covery than such as would inevitably
have followed the enactment of a
moderate change of tariff when an
extreme. change had been apprehend-
ed.
For almost two years, fear that the
Democratic majority in Congress
would put into force it's wellk known
theories about the tariff prostrated
all business. When it's tariff act was
finally passed, it was found in many
respects so much less harmful than
had been expected that there was
general sense of relief. How much
harm the act will do cannot yet be es-
timated, but it is plain enough that it
has knocked off about 20 per cent of
the wages of American working peo-
pie, and by correspondingly reducing
their power of purchase, has cut off
the demand for all products of indus
try. There is nothing surprising in
the fact that the lowest prices ever
known for the great farm staples
have followed this enactment; on the
contrary, it would have been matter
of Wonderment if that result had not
followed an act which compelled
general reduction of the wages of la
Dor.
These are the two things Congress
has done, and Ein addition it has
tried to substitute wildcat State bank
currency for the currency of National
banks. After months of agitation,
which resulted in great depression of
businesss, this scheme was defeated,
but only in such fashion as to prove
that the Democratic party, if pos
sessed of full power, would have
adopted it without hesitation or delay.
The country is spared the incalculable
disasters which that step would have
caused, only because the Republican
minority was faithful.
Men say it is the worst Congress
ever known. At least there is a fair
prospect that no other like it will be
seen for many years to come. Even
the freet trade fanatics, with all their
want of practical sense, will hardly
vote for another such Congress as the
one which has buried itself in dishon-
or.-Tribune.

Senator Hoar is to be congratulated
on the success in passing the anti lot
terry bill through congress. He had a
hard fight, as several leading Dem
ocrats, including Brice of Ohio,
appeared determined to defeat the
measure during the last days of the
session and gave the Louisiana Lottery
people all the assistance in their
power. The bill is by far the most
drastic legislation against the lottery
companies and business ever enacted,
and there can be no doubt that it will
effectually kill those gambling con-
Germs, against which the best people
of the country have SO strongly pro-
tested.
