(As seen, Mr.. Butterworth late
Attorney for the United States
Brewers Association, voted on
that occasion with the prohibi-
tionists.)
The result Of the vote was then
announced as above recorded, and
two thirds not having voted in the
affirmative, the bill was not passed.
OF the Republicans voting
against the bill were two members
from Chicago, Adams and Taylor,
and the three German Americans,
Lehlbach, Frank and Niedring-
haus.
RESUME.

There were paired I3 Democrats
with as many Republicans.
Among those paired against the
bill was Mr.. Stewart, Of Georgia,
one Of our opponents before the
Liquor Traffic Committee. He
was re- e-eleetedt to Congress, ana we
were glad to see his change. The
other three prohibition Democrats
had been punished already by hav-
ing failed to be reelected. Thus
there was no Democrat afterwards
left in favor OF the Commission
Bill.
Even Mr.. Fitch, who had intro
duced the Nine Commission bill,
changed his vote, and made little
speech against the Five Commits
sion Bill, because, as he said, "it
is a piece of humbuPgery, which
as such we denounce it on this side
OF the Chamber and ask that the
Commission, not because we have
any objection to its formation, but
because it is a political humbug,
be voted down"
Eighteen long years OF fighting
and mostly unaided, is certainly
cause to feel proud, especially if it
has resulted in victory for liberty.
Congress, in order to get rid of
the prohlbitionists, passed a law
authorizing the Commissioner 4
Labor to investigate the Liquor
Traffic. That made any further
agitation on this subject in Con-
gress impossible, especially as
the Commissioner wards made
a very good report, but by no
means agreeable TO the Prohibit
tionists.
The latter now have left Con-
gress altogether. AT least they do
no t show themselves any more.
Their occupation IS gone. That is
why the Brewers Association now
almost plties them. Those fellows
who occasionally make a little
noise are not Prohibitionists, but
Anti Saloon cranks.
We had the satisfaction OF know
ing that the United States Brewers
Convention, held az Washington
in 89r, gave high credit to Mr.
Quinn for his services in defeating
the Five Commission bill, and even
copied a great part of the minority
report we furnished Quinn. They
did not know that it was all
Schade's work.
But we are not forgotten. Says
