Washington, February 2a.-Mr. Ding
ley OF Maine, chairman of the ways
and means committee, being asked today
what the effect would be of opening up
the House tariff bill to an amendment
increasing the duty on wool beyond the
figure of the bill as 1t stands, said that
he had agreed with the Senate Rupubli-
cans that any material amendment in
one direction would invariably invite
hundreds of other amendments and thus
practically open up the whole question of
tariff revision and swamp the N easure
at once. Tho Senate Republican caucus
took the ground that the only way TO
get any bill to the President to increase
the revenue is for the Senate to pass
substantially the House tariff bill, which
continues only for two years and Mr..
Dingley agrees with this view.

Bath, February 28 To-day was the day
selected by the clergymen of this county
as Temperance Sunday. each agreeing to
hold temperance meetings. At some of
the churches there were some quite warm
sermons, and remarks on that subject.
None of these remarks were of greater in
terest or more enthusiastic than the
meeting held at the Beacon street Meth
odist church this evening.

always taken an active interest in the
fight for prohibition. Tonight he de-

Of the county officials who stood up for
the prohibitory cause. He said the mayor
was. unfaithful to his trust, and said that
the officers didn't do their duty regarding
this law.
He hit the Bath Times by saying that
it injured the cause of temperance by
publishing articles to the effect that ths
prohibitory Law is failure. Said he
didn't doubt the sincerity of the EDITORS
opinion, but that he was illogical.
Remarks were made by others, includ-
ing Superintendent Strout of the Sunday
school there, who said that he did not be-
lieye that Brother Pendexter or any one
else if, put in office would enforce the
law unless they were backed up by public
sentiment. Said they might start in
well, but could not continue unless pub

One speaker said that not single tenn

either party at the oaucuses last week.

An other, said that if temperance man
had been nominated some mem bers of the
church would vote against him if they
were Democrats or Republicans.
