WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10, 'O1
There are breakers ahead OF tn.
Hanna boom for the Republican
Presidential nomination, and they
are republican breakers, too. With
three years of pie distribution ahead
the average republican of promi-
nence doesn't care to risk his share
by offending the chief distributor al
this time. That is why the boom
mas not been publicly jumped on by
more republicans. Privately prom.
inent republicans do not hesitate Ia
say that Mark Hanna has no better
chances to become Emperor oi
China, than he has to become Pres.
ident Of the y. 8. They say the
talk Of Hanna'S popularity with re.
publicans throughout the country,
is precisely like that of bis popu-
larity with republican senator's
confined to those who wish TO use
Hanna to pull the leg CT the admin.
istration for favors.
Assistant Secretary Of State Hill
read the riot act to Minister Con.
ger, as soon as that chattering Dip
lomat reached Washington, and
Conger got on his dignity; also his
ear. 1t is understood that he told
Mr.. Hill that he would not resign,
and that unle.s he was nominated
for governor Of Iowa, by the repub-
licans, the administration would
have to recall him, il it did not wish
him to return to China at the expi.
ration Of his present leave Of alb
sence. That it doesn't wish him TO-
return is certain.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
and Mr.. Myron H. Holt, Secretary
Of the Tariff Reform Club, Of N. ",
talked tariff reform before the In
dustrial commission in a very con
vincing way. Mr.. Atkinson started
off by saying that not more than five
per cent. Of the people were bene.
fitted by q protective tariff, while
the other ninety.five per cent. had
to pay the bills; that the experience
Of the Spa lish war had shown that
we could collect all the revenue
needed from dozen articles; that a
tariff policy on free trade lines
would increase rather than lower
wages because it would widen the
markets. Holt began by
saying: "The tariff ties the hands
Of the American people, while the
trusts rifle their pockets. He ex.
presses the opinion that the tariff
was responsible for much corrup-
ton in politics, and that it was not

| Editor Phalanx:-In your paper
|of April 4 there is an article written
|by /. s. Wade, entitled, "Looking
Backward" in which he quotes
from prominent statesmen and d.
vines Of eixty years ago, in tondem-
nation OF the liquor tlaffic, from
which our brother infers they were
a better type Of men than those Of
the present day. In some respects
| believe he is correct, but does
their attitude Of sixty years ago offer
a sure basis for his inferences?
In comparing the statements of
those mentioned by Mr.. Wade with
those who occupy the same social
relations Of to-day, | find nothing
more radical in those OF the past
than the following:
In 1888 the General ConferenceI
of the M. 4. church said: "ItI
(the liquor trafiic) can never be le-
galized without sin." In 1892, the
Presbyterian General Assembly
said: "No political party has the
right to expect the support Of Chris
tian men SO long as that party re-
fuses to put itself on record against
the saloon"
The same year the General Con-
ference Of the NJ. E. Church said
mo policical party has the right to
nor ought it to receive, the
Of Christian men SO long as
it stands committed to the license
policy, or refuses to put itself on
record in an attitude Of open hostil-
ity to the saloon.
Now, we submit, are not these
quotations as radical as those given
by Mr.. Wade? We think so, but
what do they amount to? Simply
this: The Republican preachers
vote reduces his church resolution
% farce. This is proven in the
'act that there are about On hundred
souls who are annually
Tanned by drink in the United
States, in lieu Of thirty thousand {
'ixty years ago. Again, | prove !
he character Of those resolutions {
~ their effect on the ''trade," a.
yiven by their papers. However, l
or the sake Of brevity, l will give I
me of many: h
The Southwestern (liquor organ) {
ays: ''In fighting prohibition, we a
lon't recognize the church as our 3
opponent, nor have the prohibition
,apers any basis whatever upon
which to claim the church as a pro-
'ibition institution. II is true, tie :
preachers at their jollificatiors-
hat is, conferences, synods, etc. a
'ass prohibition resolutions and all
hat sort Of slushy buncomb, the d
anne as the politicians promulgate c
|owery froth, and for the same pur-
'ose-to catch suckers" n
| ask Brother Wade, had the
rewers, the distillers, and the sa.
BON keepers controlled the Whip IC
nd Democratic parties of sixty
ears ago as they do the Democratic G
nd Republican parties to-day,
'ould the patriots Of sixty years ago
ave sacrificed their political a
arty for prohibition? If so, l will
onceie the Prohibitionist Of that c
eriod as quite superior to the Re-
ublican preacher as Prohibition "
i Of to-day. For with them it is l.

option. Indeed it is impossible to|

When the doctors disagree and the

decide. Well, usually, the coroner.
There is a good sized disagreement

the citizens, Of Delta, over the propriety
Of enforcing the quarantine regulations.
The trouble has existed for some weeks
past and several would be wise people
have laughed at the idea when this
paper has sounded a word Of warning
snd insisted that all suspicious cases
be quarantined. The disease whatever
It may be is assuming alarming pro-
portions and unless it 10 checked by
some means the entire county may be
quaran:ined by the state board Of
