REMONSTRANCE is FILED.
West side People Object to n License
Being Granted to Deckelnick.


Two years ago William Deckelnick
was granted a license for a hotel at
South Main avenue and LuZerne
street, in the Fifth ward, and one year
ago the court refused to renew it be-
cause, as was alleged, he had not con-
Quoted the place so as to comply with
the conditions of the law. This year
Deckelnick has again applied for a il
cense, aud the members of the Congre-
cation of St. Johns German Catholic
church have filed a numerously signed
remOnstranCe asking that the license
be refused for the following reasons;
1t is unnecessary: it is only seventy
feet from st. Johns church and would
be nuisance to the congregation who
gather to worship in the church; it is
near a school with 1875 pupils of both
sexes to whom the example of the sa-
loon would be uernicious; the building
is within 100 feet from the convent and
garden where the sisters exercise and
the saloon would annoy them and af-
feet their happiness.

THAT WlLLsO'.THE-WiSp.
Police Still Chasing the Man with the
james Gill's Locks,

Another man was arrested yesterday
morning on the hair chOpping case and
was hauled before Mrs. James and her
daughter for Identification. The result
was the same as in the other arrest.
There was nothing about the prisoner
that Mrs. James, or her daughter rec
ogniZed. He was released with the
rapidity that hot nail leaves a mans
hand.
The arrest was kept from the press,
as usual, or to be more correct an effort
was made to keep ii from the press.
That effort of course failed in the case
of The Tribune. Chief Roblng is
wearing a worried look in consequence
of this terrible mystery.

could do nothing for her. 1t seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Hav

home, and to the surprise of all she be-
gan to get better from first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound

"There is not thing IN this tariff bill
that ought to stir the heart of any Amer.
lean farmer with anything but indigna-
ton and hate toward the people who
thus treat them," said Senator Teller
when speaking on the tariff bill, and that
speech will be reechoed from shore to
shore of the Republic until it has sound.
ed the doom of the Republican party.
If it will not help the farmer who will it
help? 1t was never expected to affect
the currency question, the real question
Of the day. 1t could not possibly affect
the wage Garner, as the wages are settled
between the operators and workers with.
out regard to the price of the product.
AS tariff for revenue it has been shown
to be Intellectual as many of the duties
are practically prohibitive and all are SO
high that the volume of imports will be
restricted and customs at best not in
creased. 1t will react against the ex-
porter as many countries have already
decided upon retalatory duties that will
materially exclude American products.
1t is purely and simply legislation in
favor of the trusts and against the peo-
pie and may be properly designated as
one of the most pernicious measures en-
acted by any congress, AS a means of
restoring prosperity to the. people. it is
lust as effective as wou be an attempt
oquench fire by pouring oil upon it.
