The result of the experiment of de-
priying the convicts of tobacco has been
very satisfactory, since it has been the.
means Of giving them all the butter
they want once day, something which
they never had before and which but.
few state penitentiaries provide. Those
whose terms commenced before July l,
1896. still receive small allowance and
of course the life men will always get it.
The graded system OF uniforms will
go into effect this month The board of
control has employed a. tailor to have
charge of this work and to cut and fit
suits for all the convicts. Under the
graded system the men are encouraged
to do their best and receive rewards for
so doing The board will soon have a
distinction. in the tables where convicts
are seated. and the best table will be.
provided with better dishes and little
better food It has been the means of
greatly improving the prison discipline
and gives the men hope OF the future
and inspires seIf-respect.

THINKS CHINA IS 10 RULE.

sions Of the Eastern situation.

Boston. Sept. 3.-Rev. F. e. Clark.
president OF the United States Society
of Christian Endeavor, arrived IN Bos-l
ton yesterday after an eventful trip
around the world. DR.. Clark had a
rather narrow escape from being shut
up in Pekin with the legationers while
In that city. He said:
when i left Pekin the legationers
|and Minister Conger had no idea that
the boxer movement was going to as
|sume any such proportions as It did.
We realized that the movement against
the foreigners was growing thruout
China, but nobody dreamed that the
Legations would be attacked, much less
the missionaries. or that any such atro-
cities would be committed. At most It
Twas felt that the result might be q
Change of dynasties.
II found that the general feeling was
directed against the foreign CONNER
cial interests and aggressions The
Chinese saw Russia pushing down frorY
| the north, the Germans had siezed an
Immense territory as indemnity for the
death OF two missionaries. the French
had seized territory and the other ma
ltions were preparing to do the same;
This Is what aroused the Chinese and
started the boxer movement. s
II look forward to great things from
1.-THE Chinese. They will eventually.
lbelieve. dominate the east. They are
la strong race. and will become progres.
sive. but never In the sense that the

war in the far east ls pro- English, but
Twas surprised when / got to England

listed there. II Is something very In

Perhaps the most interesting feature
OF the convention was the fact that the
speech nominating Odell for governor
was made by former Governor Black,
who had been outside the organization
breastworks since Roosevelt defeated
him two years ago, when he desired re-
nomination. Black said the issues now
before the American people were dis
.cussed and settled four years ago.
There is not new one here" he
continued. The ghost OF anti imperial
ism which stalks to and fro between
Lincoln and Bloomington, with occas-
ional manifestations in Boston, is not,
and can not be made an issue. The
country is and has been committed to
the policy OF growth and it can not be
,swerved from that policy by new scare
crows erected along the way
Black closed with eulogy of Odell,
whom he presented for the gubernator-s
lial nomination. Senator Chauncey De-.
pew presented the name Of Woodruff
for lieutenant governor. Speaking to
the question Of expansion and the argu-
ment that that policy IL opposed to the
spirit OF the declaration OF independ-
ence, the senator said:
I'VE all believe in the declaration os
independence. We all rejoice in the prin-
ciples Of that Immortal document. There
is nothing which Col. Bryan can say IN
his claim for exclusive ownership OF the

IMPORTANT FOR
BREWER RS.
FIGHT FOR LOWER TAX.
Full Account of Discussion in
Congress,

We present below a complete
report Of the debates in the House
OF Representatives last week, when
an attempt vas made to have the
beer tax repealed. The effort was
successful only in getting a reduc-
tion of IS cents a barrel, notwith-
standing the great work done in
its behalf on the floor by such
stanch friends OF the brewer as
Sulzer, Richardson, Fitzgerald,
(Mass.). Fitzgerald IN. ", and
Bartholdt, who all labored long
and earnestly to secure more tav-
orable action on the bill. Nor
must we in this connection over
look the work OF Hon. Jacob Rup-
pert, Jr., OF New York, whose act
ivity in the cause OF a lower tax
was none the less effective because
it was done on the quiet. AS
practical brewer of prominence in
New York, he was able to give the
committee information which, at
more favorable time, would have
produced better results. The
majority in the House, as will be
seen from the debates below, was
opposed to repeal of the beer tax,
and it is due to IFS advocates to say
that they were fortunate in getting
what they did in the face OF such
powerful opposition as they had to
contend with.
The SENTINEL confidently looks
Tor larger reductions from the Sen
ate. 1t cannot see how failure can
result from the efforts OF all the
friends OF a lower tax when the
disposition Of that branch of the
National Legislature towards re-
peal is considered
Debate was opened by Hon.
VIM. Sulzer, oil New York. He
said:
Washington sentinel., 1900-12-22

Mr.. SULZER. Mr.. Chairman, when
the Spanish-American war-revenue
bill was being discussed in this House
in 1898, leading Republicans on this
floor then stated that just so soon as
the Spanish-American war was over
the war taxes would be repealed. The
American people-the taxpayers Of
this country-expect the Republican
party to keep that pledge. 1t was a
solemn promise. This bill willfully
and unnecessarily violates it.
Mr.. KING. They do not expect it.
They think they ought to do it.
Laughter
Mr.. SULZER. Yes; that is about
the truth of the matter. 1t is to be
regretted that the majority of the
Ways and Means Committee has failed
to meet the reasonable expectation of
the taxpayers, and has failed to keep
the promise Of the Republican leaders
in this House when The war-revenue
bill was being discussed in 1898. If
the Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee had done their
duty they would lave brought into
this House a bill to repeal the war
revenue law, and to repeal 10 in toto.
The Spanish-American war-revenue
law was an emergency measure. 10
was to remain on the statute books
lulll Nuc WdE WIS cOucluueu ana Guen
promptly repealed. The war is
er and the war taxes must go. They
We no place on our law books in
ume of peace.
10 has been stated here, Mr.. Chair
man, by one Of the members of the
Ways and Means Committee, and the
facts and statistics confirm the state
ment, that If the war-revenue law
should be repealed it would not cause
a deficit in the revenues Of the Gov
ernment this year, next year, or the
year thereafter. Why, then, / ask in
the name Of all that Is fair, should
these oppressive, unjust, and burden
some war taxes be indefinitely con
tinued in time of peace? The annoy
ing, harassing, and unnecessary wan
taxes should be repealed.
Mr.. Chairman, in the brief time al
lotted to me by the gentleman from
Tennessee it win be impossible foI

len making such an attack upon

GUS habits. The brewers of this
country have, by close atteu tiou TO

and mechanics. / live i'm district

Mr.. Chairman, Is paid partly by the

tailers, and partly by the brewers. /
