Money to Fight Trusts.

The American Anti Trust League,
whose national headquarters in this city
are at 1870 Pennsylvania Avenue, has
issued a circular directed to "all friends
OF the anti trust cause" in which an
appeal is made for funds to carry on the
work. The letter is signed by Mr., Cotter
T, Bride, the National Treasurer.
The circular announces the purpose Of
the league to organize branches IN
every town and township in the United
States, to accomplish which funds are
Immediately necessary. The object oi
the league, it is announced, is to save
the Republic, to secure to the individual
citizen an opportunity to work and
follow the business Of his choice free
from the danger of being crushed or
enslaved by the great trusts, and to
rescue the government founded ny
Washington and Jefferson from the grasp

INFORMATION FOR BREW ERS
AND OTHERS.
Mr.. T. II. sottlieh,

manager Of the Maryland Brewing Co.,
of Baltimore, made some excellent
remarks on the subject of Beer and
Temperance" before the Com mittee on
Temperance recently, calling attention
to fact that temperance agitators ignore
wholly or do not seem to understand.
Among other things Mr.. 5ottlich said:
THE brewing Of beer and the sale OF
it, If honestly and properly conducted,
are as legitimate as any other business.
Beer must be recognized as one OF the
great food supplies OF the world Beer
drinking communities are temperate
communities. Beer drinkers are not
drunkards, nor do drunkards begin oy
being beer drinkers. The statistics on
this subject are ample and convincing
am not here to defend intsmperance;
we are opposed to every form OF intem-
perance, to the disreputable saloon and
to every power that makes for evil in
the community, Our ambition is to put
beer on a footing with tea and coffee
that is where it belongs. It is not in the
same class with whiskeY and gin. Beer
is food. We are opposed to any legis.
lation which is bound to make the saloon
disreputable The saloon IS here to fill
a want; it /; here because the people
want it. This fact is gradually being
recognized. The beer saloon is the
Door mans club. The way to get rid Of
the saloon, II you must get rid of it, is to
give him something better This local
veto bill would give something worse.
Brewers and saloon keepers have no
vested rights in their BUSINESS but they
have the right to intelligent and fair
trea =. mt. This bill would ruin us. AS
matters stand now no city is so fortunate
in its temperance laws as Baltimore.
Our SALOONS are well regulated and
decent. A drunken man on the streets
is an unusual sight The state is re-
ceiviug the maximum revenue. There
are no speak easies There is very
little Sunday selling"

Paid se's t. Ease His Conscience

At some point on the Big -Four
Railroad between Cleveland and Sidney,
Ohio, or between Cleveland and Indian
apolis, lives a man or perhaps a woman,
who has contributed S623 to Uncle Sans
conscience fund. The money reached
Secretary Gage Monday morning, and
il consisted Of three SIoo, six $50, one
$40, one 81, and one sr,bill. AS is usual
in cases OF this kind, the conscience
smitten contributor gave no clew TO bis
identity, but, on the contrary, used
everY precaution to prevent his person
alitY from becoming known, even going
to the extent of disgusting his chirogra'
ply. The envelope containing the
money had the appearance OF being
carried around in the inside pocket for
some time, the edges being worn and
the exterior soiled and finger marked.
1t is seldom that person who dccides
10 return to the Government money
which he obtained illegitimately resorts
to the peculiar expedient of melting it
on a railroad train for the purpose OF
covering up his tracks, but that was the
method adopted in this case.

Our Unique Festival.

Easter Monday, egg rolling dav. was
celebrated on the green lawns south oi
the Executive Mansion by thousands oi
little folks. whose unique annual festival
has come to be the feature in Washing
ton Ct the end OF the Lenten season.
AS early as g O'Clock, when the gates
were opened, they began to gather from
every part Of the city, each with small
basket filed with eggs of every conceiv-
able hue, and by 3 o'clock several thou
sand were racing and tumbling about on
the greensward.
About that time the full Marine band
marched into the grounds, and during
the remainder Of the afternoon played
at frequent intervals to the delight OF
the youngstersl and their elders, VINO
had come to witness the novel scene.

Secretary Root now says that the
misunderstanding has been adjusted to
the entire satisfaction Of both parties,
and that the matter will be allowed TO
drop without further action by the War
Department, The trouble arose out of
misunderstanding on the part of Father
Tierney and misunderstanding on the
part OF Major Knight as to the intentions
OF the priest The latter was on bis way
to tn post hospital to visit sick soldier,
but instead OF following the usual route,
he went by path which took him near
the b ttteries. He was not recognized
by the sentry, and was turned back, in
accordance with the rules against civil
ians visiting that part OF this post,

step Toward Reduction of War Tax

Step Toward Reduction Of War Tax.
There was a hearing regarding the
reduction of the war tax--the first one
oGthe session-before the Committee on
Ways and Means last Tuesday. The
committee has finally lent its ear to the
popular crv for relief.
While Chairman Payne said that there
is no immediate prospect for any reduc-
ton, other members Of the committee
are striving to get together on some
definite proposition that will accomplish
the end sought.
Manufacturers of patent medicine will
argue for the complete abolition Of the
extra war tax on their products. With
the ball thus started rolling, other
interests affected by the tax will make
themselves heard,

AT THE CAPIiO'
Doomed in Senate.

The proposition to elect Senators by
the people IS doomed to die in the SEN
ate. It will be reported adversely by
the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions, if it is reported at all.
This fact is interesting, in view OF the
apparent determination on the part OF
the Democrats and Populists to make
the question a political one. In the
debate which occurred in the Senate
upon the reference of the resolution
which recently passed the House by an
overwhelming majority, Senators Butler
and Teller were emphatic in endorsing
the proposition, echoing the sentiments
expressed a few days ago by Senator
Berry, of Arkansas, while Republican
Senators like Chandler, SeweI and
Hoar were against change. Upon the
assertion OF Chairman Chandler that the
resolution would receive consideration.
its reference was agreed to, but canvass
OF the committee shows that its doom is
already sealed.

j. Edward Aidicks has become inter-
ested in the completion OF the new High
School building in this city, and there is
now probability that the building will
be completed in time for use during the
coming autumn A meeting between
Mr.. Addicks and members OF the bull :
ing committee OF the Board OF Educa-
tion has been arranged for to be held on
an early date, at which the matter
will be thoroughly discussed as to the
legal phases of the matter, and II
these prove satisfactory the money to
finish the building will be furnished and
work speedily resumed.
Mr. Addicks has been considering this
matter for several weeks, it having been
brought to his attention when the finan-
cial difficulties of the Board OF Education
first became subject of discussion. He
then offered to furnish the money nec-
essary to complete the building, if there
were no legal conditions or requirements
to prevent it. At that time, however, the
Board of Education were expecting help
from tine local banks, and the difficulty
did not assume the serious aspect that
has since developed. There was then
ample time for the completion of the
building in time for occupancy next
autumn. Since then a month OF that
time has elapsed, the banks have refused
aid, work has been suspended and the
building boarded up as if for perma
nent suspension of building operations.
