Mayor Of Suffolk, Va, Acts
on the Protest Of Ministers
Of the Town.

Suffolk. Va, April so.-Alleging that
would be detrimental 10 tho community's
morals, six local clergymcn have pre-
vailed upon Mayor Brewer TO prohibit
the interment of j. VIII Brickhouse, ad-
vertised to take place on a prominent
street next Thursday. The ministers
prayer reads in part like this:
I'VE, the clergy OF Suffolk. respect
fully request that you use your official
authority To prevent the exhibition ad-
vertised to be made on May g as fol-
under seven feet OF earth. We make
this request, believing that such an ex-
hibition will be detrimental 10 the moral
tone of the community.

will tend TO terrorize ignorance. TO

10 furnish the vicious and criminal fan

PLEA FOR TEMPERANCE.
Archbishop Ireland Talks to Catholic
Total Abstainers.

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. Especial re-
ligious services In the morning. a business
meeting in the afternoon witt encouraging
reports from officers and an immense gath
ering at Parsons Theater TO listen TO an ad-
dress by Archbishop Ireland. Of ST. Pau.
in the evening. constituted the first days
proceedings In the convention OF the Cath
Ollie Total Abstinence Union of America, now
In session here. The day opened inauspi-
ciously, for a d~rizzling rain prevented a
large attendance in the morning.
In the afternoon the business meeting
was held. at which the officers made their
annual reports. Rev. ID. +. McGillicuddy, OF
Worcester, president OF the union, presided
and after his report the reports of the
vice presidents were made. The report of
the secretary. Rev. A. p. Doyle. of New
York. furnished interesting figures on the
state of the order. 1t was shown that the
society now numbered S5,441 members in $40
branch organizations and that the increase
for the past year had beer 4.190 members
and ninety-thrce new societies.
The audience at ParSOn Theater for the
evening session packed the auditorium.
Bishop Tierney presided and after addresses
by Rev. Father McGillicuddy, of Worces-
ter, Judge Walter h. Gibbons, OF Chicago,
]. Washington Loebe, of Philadelphia. and
Mrs. Lonara Lake of st. Louis. a vice
president Of the union, Archbishop Ireland
was introduced amid great applause. Arch
bishop Ireland recounted the events at
tending the founding Of the union In WASH
iEgton thirty years ago and traced its
growth through the early years down to the
present tipe.
In speaking of the work of the union he
said that In years past the criticism had
been justly made that the proportion of
drinkers among Catholics was greater than
among persons OF other religions. but that
now such a statement was untrue, the
change being due TO the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union and other similar or
CARNATIONS in the church. The speaker did
not, however, fail to pay a tribute to tenn
perance societies in churchs of other de-
nominations. In closing Archbishop Ireland
made an eloquent plea for temperance
among the men of the twentieth century
in view of the demands of the age for
clear headed and active men.

time and proceeded with tact all the mills
might have been unionized before a great
while. The statement that they must light
or give up their liberties is not true.
Mr.. Sharer is a preacher. but his advice
to the men to disregard their contracts Is
not defensible on moral grounds. He says:
You will be told that you have signed
contracts. but you never agreed TO surren-
der those contracts TO the United states
Steel Corporation. It's officers think you
were sold TO them, Just as the mills were,
contracts and all. Remember, before you
agreed to any contract. you took an oclSa-
ton TO the A~malgamated Association. II
now calls you TO help in this hour OF need.
The contracts made with the various
corporations were not a~brogated by the
formation of the trust. If the trust had
taken the ground hat they were. and that
IL had a right to establish a new scale Of
wages, regardless Of the contracts.
the workmen would have protested
and struck. Mr.. Shaffer tells them.
in effect. that their contracts were
made with a mental reservation and sub
ject to future reputation if things did not
go TO suit them. Remember" he says, be
fore you agreed to any contract you took
an obligation to the A-malganated Asso-
ciation." In other words. the obligation to
the Amalgamated Association is a higher
law TO which all other obligations. includ-
ing even individual contracts. must yield.
On the same principle an oath taken in
court to tell the truth, the whole truth.
and nothing but the truth, would be sub
ject to the higher obligation TO stand by
the A~malgamated Association. This posi-
ton could not be sustained in any court Of
justice or morals. There is nothing in Mr..
Skaters order to indicate that he is a
wise leader. and nothing to win public
sympathy for the strikers.

WANT DUTY


HAVANA, Aug. THE Union of Tobacco
Buyers, of Havana, was recently asked by
the Merchants Union to give an opinion as
to the duties levied in the United States
upon Cuban tobacco. The reply was to the
effect that the duty on cigars should be re-
duced TO $3.50 per pound. irrespective OF
value, and that the duties on wrappers and
filings should be reduced 20 and Is cents.
respectively, per pound.
A long preamble asserts that Cuba, IL she
does not obtain a concession 10 which she
has a perfect right. in view of the fact that
she is under the economic as well as the
political protection of the United States
should ask for annexation. This the
United States would grant" the preamble
goes on TO say, las it would be in con-
formity with the desire of a majority of the
American people. Thus the successful OPP
position of sugar and tobacco interests of
the United States to granting concessions
TO Cuba would only result in the ruin Of
Cuba would have free trade and this would
mean the overthrow of the sugar and to-
bacco industries in the States"
At to-day's meeting of the constitutional
convention, Sinor Cisneros presented his
resolution that Senior Giberga be called
cent declaration that Marti was the evil
genius of Cuba or TO withdraw from the
convention. The convention adopted a
modification of the resolution expressing
sympathy with the attitude OF Senior Cis-
neros and disappearing the conduct OF
ing that it had no power TO go further into
the matter.

AN INHERITED OBLIGATION.

The Journal has been in error in assum-
ing that the 59-cent levy for city purposes
furnished the revenues for 1901 instead of
1900. The 59-cent levy was voted in 1S9.
when Mr.. Taggart was last time a candi-
date for mayor. and applied to the year
1900. This misapprehension. however, does
not materially change the situation.
During 1900. under the 59-cent levy, the
city made sS24,652 in temporary loans n
redeemed Sis, s55.sS. leaving sl45, 697.14 of
temporary loans outstanding from the year
1900 on Jan. 1, 1901. In addition to this the
practical excess OF expenditures over re-
ceipts was increased by reducing the cash
in the treasury from 500. SCI. 95 on Jan. l,
1900. to s29. $685. on Jan. l. 19O1-a loss of
81, 1913. $50 that the expenditures during
the year 1900 were S2l6. s9O.53 in excess Of
the revenues.
The s145. 697.14 OF temporary loans made
during 1890. and not paid, came over to this
year and had to be paid out Of current rev.
enues. 1t is this s145.6s7 which has COM
PEELED the city to resort 10 the expedient of
temporary loans with the Recent levy of
1900. This unfortunate inheritance from
1900 is evidently taken up as a current ex-
penditare this year and covered by a new
temporary loan. Under the levy of this
year the city should receive $50, 600 more
than during last year. The activity Of the
county treasurer as city tax collector
should increase these figures considerably,
so that out of current revenues the city
should be able to pay current liabilities. but
the large borrowing at the present time
makes 1t probable that even the 7s-cent
levy Will not leave the city without a float
ing debt with which to begin the year 1902.
In his last address Mayor Taggart. by his
own figures, shows that the expenditures
increased S2SS, 1922. When Mr.. Taggart be-
came mayor tho levy was 60 cents on an
assessed valuation of sos. 637. $50; in 1901 it
was a levy of 70 cents on a valuation of
sl2S. 713, $50. The tax assessed upon the prop
erty OF the city for city purposes in 1895 was
s63S, S26.1 10. but in 1901 it has increased to
s90S. $3.50. This is an increase of $3.50. So. "A.
The increase of expenditure being in excess
OF the increase of revenues during the pc
RODS compared. it is very doubtful If the
controller is anticipating revenues for 1901
in making loans at the present time. I'm
less there is some saving made, even a 10
cent levy Will be barely enough in the year
10 come.

PROSPEROUS SOCIETY.
Conversational Educational Associa-
tion Has n Working Balance.

BOSTON, Mass. Aug. THE eighty
fifth annual report of the Congregational
Educational Society was made public to-
day. 1t states that greater sums have been
raised in the West than ever before, and
that the society has given considerably
more to academies and missions than last
year. has paid all outstanding claims. is
clear OF debt and has a small working bal
ence. In the student department all claims
have been promptly paid, with a surplus in
this department. The report further states
that there Is no department or missionary
work which the society does not touch.
In the department OF theological scholar
ships more men than usual have accepted
grants as loans, giving their notes for pay
ment. The number of men receiving
scholarships has been 139, one more than
last year. The one great demand for nun
dreds OF Southern Congregational churches
is an educated ministry. Students from
Northern selninaries are not available.
Young men sent TO the North from South
ern seminaries remain North. 1t is neceS-
sary that a Southern seminary should be
established. The Students now in attend
ance at the college al Rollins. Fla. are. as
a rule, considerably older and more ad-
vanced than those of previous years. There
are several Cubans in attendance at Rollins.
The year closes with twenty-one academies
upon the list of the Educational Society, as
against seventeen last year. The four
which have been added are Pensonia Acad-
envy, Michigan; Gates Academy, Gates,
Neb.; Southern Collegiate Institute, Albion.
ILL.,, and WelSer Academy, Idaho.

THE MAYORS Refusal.

Mayor Taggart will not run again, and
there is a lodge OF sorrow in session in me
places where those who have fed upon mis-
favors do congregate. Outside Of the Off
cial force about the city government and
a few personal friends there was no de-
mand inside the Democratic party for MI.
Taggart's fourth nomination. In the first
place. Mr.. Taggart has too many affairs
In his hands to be mayor. even II he were
considering the candidacy for a first
term. During the past year he has beer
absent more than a mayor should be. but
it was less noticed because the late Con-
troller Johnson stood in his place. So.
from a business point of view. the mayor
cannot afford a denomination even IL an
election were a foregone conclusion. Po-
litically. Mr.. Taggart has nothing to gain
by being mayor another term. even if he
were sure Of a reelection, because what
ever there is for him in politics in the
future must be in a wider field.
on the other hand. a defeat would bad
ly injure Mr.. Taggart's prestige. His
plurality of less than 400 I'm 1899 was not
calculated to strengthen a man who re-
ceived between 5000 and 1900 in two
previous elections. and injured his popu-
larity in the State. He not only saw this.
but as an astute political observer the
mayor must have seen that the chances
were very much against his election next
October. Two years ago the Republicans
entered the campaign under about as un-
-, 70 .,,Iit;ov. &c tIo,- Gould a,l -
Mr.. Taggart had a plurality Of less than
400. With practical harmony in the Reprb-
lican ranks and a good and fairly nomi-
mated ticket Mr.. Taggart saw that the
chances are decidedly against him as a
fourth-term candidate. The almost GER
tainty of defeat was doubtless a controlling
| factor in the mayors decision. In a fight
in which a man has nothing to gain and
everything to lose he is a prudent man
who declines TO go into the battle. Then
there comes a time in the life of a man
when he becomes weary of the same kind
of a fight.
In some respects Mayor Taggart is a
stronger man than his party can find 10
take the nomination. He has a personal
following which, considering his partisan
ship. is quite remarkable, but as the years
| passed he chilled the hearts of a large
number Of Democrats to whose entreaties
for places he was forced to turn a deaf
ear. Still, 1t is generally admitted that he
is several hundred votes stronger than any
man the party can nominate, which, with
a judicious campaign upon city issues,
makes Republican success as certain as
| anything in the future can be. The sooner,
however. the official force Of the mayor
puts off the emblems of mourning the bet
ter it will be for them.

AID FOR MISSING MEN
v%igilantes Have Served Notice that All
Members Of the Union May Leave
the City IL They Desire.

TAMPA, Fla. Aug. THE Resistencia
Union of Cigar Markers has changed its
position with relation TO the strike several
times to-day. This morning the strikers
were taking an obligation TO leave Tampa
in a body and never return under any cir
cumstances. This afternoon they issued a
statement saying that if their leaders are
returned TO them they will then be ready
to arbitrate and settle the trouble. They
declare they will do nothing until this is
done. Citizens say they will nave a long
wait.
1t seems 10. be positively settled tonight
that the deported strike leaders are beyond
reach. and this is impressing itself upon
the strikers minds. La Resistencia has
been ~telegraphing 10 Key West and New
York all day trying TO employ attorneys to
come here and take their case. but with
what success is unknown. This action was
on the belief that the men were in jail.
They are not confined in Jail.
From their vacillating moods. it is be-
lieved that the strikers are wavering and
will soon be ready to resume work where
they left off. Tampa served them with no.
tice to-day that if they desire TO leave in
i body they can do SO without
objection being raised. The Resisten-
cia's treasury is closed and the treasurer

The refusal of two residents OF this city to
respond to a subpoena to testify before a
United States commissioner in the Nicely
case raises directly a question which has
been limited at in previous discussions OF the
case namely, whether witnesses in the
United States could be compelled to testify
in a case pending in Cuba. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the question should come up at
all. Every person is supposed to desire that
justice be done, and this is a case for an
exercise of justice, not sympathy. If Nicely
is guilty he should be punished. and if he
is innocent the truth cannot hurt him.
On general principles a person who has
knowledge Of a criminal transaction or
violation of law stands in a better light if
he volunteers TO tell what he knows than
If he declines to respond to a summons
which is at least legal on it's face. 1t is
doubtful If any person In the United States
cognizant of facts bearing on the Nicely
case can be compelled to testify. but GER
tainly refusal 10 do so will rot help Nicely
in the public estimation, and, it is TO be
hoped. will not save him from getting his
deserts.
