RIGID PLAN.

Albany, n Y, JAN 30.-Instead of
making the Raines' law more liberal,
Assesmblyman Bennett, on Wednes-
day, introduced bill to make it's pro-
visions more stringent. The bill was
introduced at the request of the anti
saloon leagues of New York State,
the committee of ministers of New
York city recently organized to OPP
pose Sunday opening and various
church organizations The main OBJ
ject of the bill is to wipe out the pro-
vision which gives hotels the right
to sell to guests on Sundays, and place
hotels on the same footing with sa-
looms. The privilege of selling after
hours on Sunday is denied to clubs,
also.
The bill extends the local option
provision of the law relating to ex-
else, elsewhere than in the towns, to
election districts.
1t is provided that all night licenses
in New York city cannot be issued
except ON the certificate of theCom-
missioner of Police The law now
provides that they shall be issued on
the certificate of the mayor and the
commissioner of police.
The bill it is intended, shall afford
no loopholes to permit Sunday open
ing i'll any place and to permit the
voters of election districts to decide
whether a saloon shall exist in that
locality, the question to be submitted
once year.

Few people know that the Standard

years with serious arrangement of the
digestive organs, and while he could live
on the best the markets of the world
produced he has been compelled to exc
out an existence on bread and milk. His
case has recently been brought before
the attention of the proprietors of
"Blood Wine" who after a careful study
of his trouble decided that theiI remedy
would help him. and several bottles have
just been shipped to the multi-million-
aire. If Mr.. Rockefeller takes "Blood
Wine" as directed by the chemist, whose
skill figured prominently in compound
ing this splendid remedy, we shall un-
doubtedly hear of his normal functions
being restored.

GREAT IRRIGATION PROJECT.

During the past season a notable
survey has been carried to completion
in western Colorado by the United
States geological survey. For num-
Der of years the question of the prac-
ticability of diverting water from
the Grand Canon of the Gunnison
river, for the reclamation of lands in
the Uncompahgre valley, has been
periodically agitated. Previous ga
gings and measurements by the geolog-
ical survey and local engineers had
shown that the waters of the Gunni-
son were sufficient in quantity, and
the bed of the stream high enough in
elevation to make the plan feasible.
This seasons work was devoted to
finding the shortest route and the
p robable cost of construction of di-
version canal Owing to the fact that
the water must be taken from an I'M
explored canon of about two thou
sand feet in depth, and of unknown
dangers, the work proved to be eX-
tremely difficult. 1t was, however,
SUCCESSFULLY accomplished, the canyon
being thoroughly explored and photo
graphed by Mr.. A. L. Fellows, whose
work stands as one of the most daring
and difficult achievements of the year
in the annals of the survey. With
one companion, Mr.. Fellows succeeded
in traversing the canyon, which ex-
erienced explorers have thus far failed
i'll doing, by being swept over the
falls and rapids, and by climbing
along the precipitous walls, finally
coming out at the lower end after
days and nights of hardships. The
results of the survey show that
tunnel about six miles in lenght is
necessary to bring the water from the
river to the arid lands, and that the
cost will be well within the limits of
a reasonable outlay. The State of
Colorado is now expanding $25, 900
upon the preliminary work of con-
struction

Capt Evan P. Howell of Atlanta,
a well known Democrat, suggests Mr.
German as the most available man to
nominate for the Presidency in 1904
Must the Democratic party bark back
to candidates of Senator Gorman's
age? Are there no young men in the
party capable of leading the party in
a national contest? Perhaps the de-
mand for an older man is due in part
to the failure Of the campaigns of the
young man from Nebraska. Even so,
the Republican party has young lead
er and is likely to maintain him in the
leadership two years hence Nor
would it be strange if it nominated as
its candidate for vice president some
energetic person like the governor of
Illinois, who is not much over forty
years of age.

ROYAL BAGGAGE

Washington, Jan. 30. AT the prop
er time the Secretary of the Treasury
will issue a special order directing
that the usual examination of baggage
and collection of customs duties be
dispensed with so far as the effects of
Prince Henry of Germany and his
suite are concerned. There is a def
mite provision of law which exempts
from duty the property brought into
the country by members of foreign
embassies and legations, but the treas
ury apartment has seldom had to deal
with such question as is presented
by Prince Henry's visit.
There is no law covering the case,
but the treasury officials will not hest
tate to make a special exemption, al
though the action will be entirely ar
bitrary. 1t is expected the German
Prince will bring with him number
of valuable presents, and that a large
amount of his effects would, in case
of an ordinary visitor, be subject to
the payment of heavy customs duties.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding, who
is directly in charge of the customs
administration said that it was of
course, out of the question to subject
the baggage of the royal visitors to
examination and that the courtesies
of the port would be extended in the
same way as in the case of foreign
ambassadors and ministers.

The National Board of Trade, now
in session at Washington, is III favor
of penny postage, but the postal au-
thorities think they cannot grant it
while the postoffice department is not
self sustaining. Advocates if the ore
cent rate reply that first class or let
ter. mail shows a large profit for the
government, while all the loss is due
to the low rates on second class mat
ter, which, they say, is class dis
elimination in favor of the publishers.
To equalize matters it is suggested
that the second class privilege be
granted more sparingly. They fur
Their argue that penny postage will so
increase the number of letters sent
that loss to the government will be
minimized by the augmented volume

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

The subject of Chinese exclusion
which is before the Senate commit

cradle attention. Ex-Secretary of
State John W. Foster has appeared
before the committee and testified to
the effect that the proposed Mitchell
bill was i'll violation of our treaty
with China. Mr.. Foster protested
against the treatment which is ac-
corded to the Chinese by this govern
ment and dwelt on the futility of try
ing to build up trade with China for
American exports, while we accorded
such scant courtesy to the nation and
even to Chinese merchants who came
to this country 30 purchase goods.

The two McLaurins in the Senate
get mixed. When the Mississippi
man is charged with the authorship
of the South Carolinian's speeches full
of Republican principles, he resents
it; and when there was a scandal in
the management of the Mississippi
State prison, McLaurin of Carolina
did not like to have his picture print
ed as one of the directors of the in
titution. Although they are both
Democrats they are easily distinguish
able when the roll is called, as they
are always on opposite sides of the
same question. There is also some
confusion in the minds of the general
public as to the secret identities of
the Senators Platt respectively of New
York and Connecticut.
