nFALSE AND FOOLISH
OBJECTION TO RUM"
Senate May Exclude Liquor
From the National
Capitol.
Injustice of the shutting Out of
an immigrants Igno-
rant Wife.
The Fourth Day of Villas suaech in
Opposition to the Nicaragua
Canal Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 4.-As soon
as the routine morning business was dis.
posed of in the Senate to-day the House
bill was taken up 10 prohibit the sale OF
intoxicating liquors in the Capitol. 1t had
been reported by Morrill, (R.) of Vermont
from the Committee on Public BUILDINGS
and Grounds, and he desired its passage
while declaring it was unnecessary and
Was based on a misapprebension in the
public mind.
Sherman (R. OF Ohio took similar po-
sition. Even though 1t was based on false
and foolish grounds he thought the SEN
ate ought TO meet the popular objection
and pass the bill.
Hill (D.) of New York took different
view of the duty of the subject. He de-
nounced the bill as silly, unwise and un-
necessary, as weak yielding to an alleged
public sentiment which regarded murder,
robbery and burglary as minor crimes in
comparison with disregard of prohibition
laws, and as vicious and cowardly. He
moved its reference to the Committee on
Rules, whose jurisdiction extends speciti-
caly to all that concerns the Senate res
taurant, but that motion was defeated
ayes q, noes 30.
At the close of the morning hour the
bill went over without action. 1t will
probably be taken up for action to-
morrow.
The next question was the conference
report on the immigration bill. The dis
cussion on this was short, as Lodge (R.) OF
Massachusetts,. having charge of it. recog-
niZed the justice of the objections made 10
it by Hill and other Sena tors in re-
gard to shutting out the ignorant wife OF
an immigrant, while the hus band might
pass the reading and writing test. Lodge,
himself made the motion that the con-
ference report be disagreed to and new
conference ordered, and that motion was
agreed to without objection. While it was
pending Carter (R.) of Montana remon-
strated against the provision intended to
exclude Canadian workmen, as it would
justify the Dominion of Canada in
adopting drastic measures against the
10000 American miners who found con-
slant work and good wages in the Koote-
mai country i n British Colum bia.
The Nicaragua canal bill was taken up,
and the remainder of the days session
was occupied by Villas in opposition to it,
this being the fourth day of his speech.
He argued that the duty of the United
States in the matter of the canal is TO have
survey made and a complete plan pre-
pared, and then to confer with Great
Britain, Germany and France as to the con-
struction and maintenance of the work.
He had not finished his speech when the
Senate adjourned.

The TURKISH Cri.t, stIl Egi,,,.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. A special
cable dispatch to the Herald from St.

foolish to imagine that the Sultan can be
held responsible for the recent events in
TURKEY. 1t is the Mussulman popula-
tion whom he has to consider, and that
population can only be conquered by war,
which would cost Russia as dearly as in
1878. II England or any other country
was to begin to BON bard any Tu kish

the ground that Chicago was well able to
provide for her destitute. No further eff

New Tariff Bill Puts a Stop to the
Business.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Hidden
away in the bulky conference report
on the tariff bill is a little clause
which will revolutionize the methods
of the cigarette and tobacco manufac-
turers. 1t was slipped in during the
conference, for it was not in the origi-
nal. 1t reads as follows:
"Nor shall there be affixedto or brand
ed, or stamped, marked, written or
printed upon said packages of smok-
ing tobacco, fine cut chewing tobacco,
or cigarettes or their contents, any
promise or offer Of, or any order or
certificate for, any gift, prize, premi-
UNI, payment or reward"
This new law breaks UP all the gift
enterprise in cigarettes. No more
sending ten coupons of the Great
American cigarette and receiving a
picture of warship, or an actress, or
a collection of flags. The cigarette
people are very much disturbed be-
cause they say that one of their best
advertisements has been taken away.
There will also be complaint from the
photographic companies, for their rev.
enues, now amounting to large sum
from the printing of flags and other
colored pictures, will be materially de-
creased. The proposed law will also
curtail the receipts of the newspapers,
for many of the tobacco companies adj
vertise their prizes.
Representative Dingley says that
the clause had been agreed upon be-
cause the internal revenue officials
complain that the Gprize giving
results in an evasion of the revenue
laws and also because many of the CT
garette pictures are obscene in their
nature,

Threw Her Baby on the Track.

The crew on the evening train on
the Baltimore & Ohio road from Fair
mont had lively scare yesterd ay
evening which made their hair stand
on end, and which will long be re-
membered by them. The cause of
all the excitement was little baby,
and the little fellow made his appear
ance at Leith. The train was whiz-
zing along at lively rate. Engineer
George McCarty was leaning out of
the cab window, when all at once he
was Mortified to see a woman run
headlong toward the track. A chill
ran over his frame, for he feared she
was bent on suicide. AS she neared
the train she dropped the little child
which she was carrying in her arms
on the side OF the track. 1t landed
on the ties close to the rail. The
train was too close to stop, and though
Engineer McCarty reversed the ma
chinery he ran some distance before
he brought his engine to a standstill.
Fortunately the child was uninjured.
Its mother is foreigner. The Of
ficers have not yet succeeded In locat-
ing her, but she will likely be arrested
soon. -Uniontown STANDARD.

The controversy between the
United States and Japan is one of
gravest interest at this time. The
Japanese having so recently emerged
from war with China, and obtained
such munifcent war indemnity
and were so universally and over
whelmingly successful that they
have become imbued with the idea
that their soldiers are the best on
the face of the earth. 1t must be
confessed by all that the Japanese
make excellent soldiers, and favored
as they are by their peculiar religion
those who die in battle take the
front seat in Paradise-gives them
fanaticism which utterly disre-
CARDS death. Then they are equipped
with modern arms, modern ships,
and a very good navy which can per-
form very effective service, and if
war should be declared by Japan up
on the United States, there is no
question but what they would be
very ugly customers to handle
There can be no question as to the
ability of the United States, with it's
money,or as to what the result would
be; but Japan is much more form
liable antagonist than Spain. The
President and his Cabinet have this
matter under serious consideration.

HUNTING MRS. KITCHENS.


PARKERsBURG, W. Va, July 81
1t Is now the opinion of the friends OF
William Beatty, the oil man who was
murdered by Edna Kitchens recently,
that the murderess is inCanada. Beat
ty gave her $500 in cash the day after
the vitriol throwing and she left the
city. City Detective D. Writ Heaton
thinks, however, that the woman is
in hiding near Meadville, and that he
will have her in few days. When
the Pennsylvania officers first COM
municated with Heaton it was with
postal card instead of telegraph, and
the delays of the mail permitted her
to get away before he could order her
arrest.
When he went to Meadville on this
last trip he is satisfied that she was
in Ridgeway's sanitarium having her
sore foot treated, but in some way she
became aware Of his presence In the
city and the next evening shortly az
ter dark was spirited away by friends
and placed in hiding. Heaton feels
satisfied that he has her located and
that III few days he will have her
under arrest.
Mrs. Beatty is evidently bcfriending
the Kitchens woman, and several of
the formers friends are giving Mrs.
Kitchens all the aid they can. They
are able to hide her temporarily, but
they cannot move her without being
discovered. Heaton Is satisfied he
win have her safe In Petersburg In
side Of q week. Ho also thinks that
she has some friends hero who keep
her posted concerning everything that

Senator Teller, of Colorado, who
was member of President Arthur's
cabinet and has been a Republican
senator for 20 years-going off on
the silver question-and always a
protectionist, says of the new tariff
bill: at is the meanest tariff ever
enacted The Mckinley law, for
which Mr.. Teller voted, was eonsid-
cred about as bad as bad could be,
but the new bill rs the Meanest
Tariff Ever Enacted" One test of it's
utter "meanness" is that while it
gives the millionaires of the sugar
trust bonus on their stock of $13,-
100000, it taxes the poor coal min
ers, struggling along on starvation
wages, living in novels with hungry
wives and children about them,
double rates on the necessities of

Pedagogues Chosen.

The school board met last Thurs
day night to elect the teachers for
the schools in the independent dis
trict but owing to negligence on the
part of the board of examiners were
unable to perform that duty. The
law states that the number of certifi-
cate must be endorsed ON the papers
submitted to the board of educa-
ton. Thi, was not done and conse-
quently no election was held but an
adjournmet made until Monday
night.
Then the work was completed.
Six of the old teachers who were APP.
plicants were reelected and in ad-
dition four new applicants were Civ
en- places. Two of these Mis- Wad-
dell, who was elected as assistant
principal vice Jaeo promoted and
Miss Josie Kunkle who was assign
ed to Miss Coyles room got positions
already created while two new places
were made for Miss Bernhard and
Miss Wotring. Miss Wotring will
have charge of the primary depart
ment to be located on Beechurst for
children from there and Sunnyside.
She will have only those in the pri-
mary grades, the older children be
ing taken care of in the new High
school building. Allie Smith was
reelected without opposition as
teacher of the colored school. Prof.
Brand was promoted some time be-
ing elected as superintendent of the
city schools and given charge of all
the schools in the independent dis
trict. This office is new one ere.
ated by the board. Prof. Brand will
likely have few classes in the High
school under his care in addition to
his other,daties. Prof. Jaco was eletc-
ed as Principal to fill the vacancy
thus created. The roster of teach
ers in the school beginning with the
highest room is L. N. Jaco, Misses
Waddell, Josie Kunkle, Laura Shis-
Ter, Tillie Bernhardt, Emma Bough-
ner, Ella Simpson, Ida Hackney and
Tida Bailey. School will begin on
the first Monday in September
when with the increased corps of
teachers even better work is expect
ed than that which we have been SC
proud of in the past.

The Worst Of 1t.


Neither in Congress nor any portion
Of the country is the pending tariff
bill accepted as even temporary set
tAement OF the question. The man.
ufacturers in many lines agree with
the tax-burdened consumers in de-
claring that most of the schedules are
too monstrous to stand without caus-
ing constant agitation and inviting
assault.
This is the worst thing about the
bill. 1t will be the fourth tariff
since 1890! No wonder that industry
cannot prosper under such constant
interference with its conditions-such
continued uncertainty as to the cost
Of production and the selling price.
And now, when there was an oppor-
tunity to have made reasonable tar
if that would yield sufficient revenue
for the Government and afford all
needful protection to American indus
tries and labor, and that would be ac-
cepted by the country for long term
of years, the Republican Bourbons
have made worse-than-war, even a
worse than Mckinley tariff.
Thirty-fye years after the enact
ment of the tariff they have framed a
bill that will increase the average
duty fully 20 points, or more than so
per cent They have burdened the
necessaries of life and the essentials of
manufactures with such taxes as no
civilized nation ever before imposed.
No party would have dared to pro-
pose another tariff revision next year
or in 1900 had this Congress passed a
reasonable bill. The people would
have drowned out such call in a
thunderous demand for rest. But
such a call will be inevitable in view
of the adoption of a measure which
two Senators of Republican and pro-
tectionist ntecedents-Teller and
Pettigrew-declare to be the worst
ever passed or proposed. There can
be no permanent settlement on the
basis Of monopoly and robbery. Some
questions can never be settled until
they settled right.-New York

efits of the cool breezes that make

WHEAT has risen since July 2 in
the face Of an unprecedented crop
at home twelve cents on the bushel.
The failure of the foreign crop is the
cause for this advance which has not

for their grain this year which have
been paid them for number of
years. All will rejoice to know this
