Senator Dspsw in His Remarks A.
tackled the Mormon Church.
Gen. BOOTH PRAYED IN THE SENATE


Washington, Feb. 14.--An immense
crowd was attracted TO the senate
yesterday to hear the invocation OF
Gen. William Booth, founder and
COMMUNICATIVE Of the Salvation
army. Among the occupants of the
galleries were Booth Tucker, the gen
erals chief assistant and son-in-law,
and q large number Of Salvationists.
When the statehood bill came up Sen
ator Depew resumed his remarks.
He attacked the Mormon church be-
cause, he said, he believed its mem-
bers still cling to the practice OF
polygamy. Senator Rawlins replied,
saying that IL the Mormons were not
interfered with they would work out
their own destiny.
Senator wellington introduced an
amendment to the post Office appro-
priation bill making an appropria-
ton of 100000 to test the parcels
post between Washington and near

Senator Burrows introduced an
amendment to the same bill allowing
pound rate postage on periodicals de-
livered by letter carriers in cities.
Senator Morgan's resolution call
ing on the secretary Of the navy for

in Colombian waters last year was
reported fayorably by the senate
committee on naval affairs, with an
amendment substituting the presi-
dent for the secretary and also max
ing it request to be complied with
IF not incompatible with the public
interests"
Senator Elkins consulted members
of the committee on interstate COM
merce and secured an agreement ia
concur in the amendments to the
Elkins anti-rebate bill passed by the
house yesterday when it Is received
by the senate. This action will send
the bill to the president.
At $3.50 the senate went into exec
utive session and soon afterward ad'
journed.
Under the operation Of special or
der which cut off opportunity to offel
amendments the house, after o de
bate Of an hour yesterday, by vote
Of 241 to 6, passed the Elkins bill tc
prohibit rebates to shippers. The si1
members who voted against the bill
were democrats. Mr.. Littlefeld, Of
Maine, was present, but did not VOTE
ON either the rule or the bill. Thu
democrats protested against the rig
orous terms of the rule. 1t had beef
their purpose, they said, to offer thu
provisions of the Lttlefield bill as al
amendment to the bill. Mr.. Dalzell
Of Pennsylvania; Mr.. 0verstreet, O.
Indiana, and Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa
announced that with the passage O.
the Ellkins bill the antitrust legisla
ton for this session of congress
would be complete. During the de
bate Mr.. Cochran, democrat. of Mis-
souri,, branded one of Mr.. Hepburn
statements as a deliberate lie." Con
trary to the usual custom this stronl
language had no sequel. The re
mainder Of the session was devotet

crate blind pigs" They are not
ot-leggers." slyiy selling from time
to time an occasional drink to the
thirsty. They take out regular United
States licenses; keep precisely such sa-
looms as are seen elsewhere In states
where liquor selling Is recognised as q
legitimate occupation; and In the city
OF Bangor have remained unmolestetl
In their occupation for the period of a
quarter of a century. 1t is quite prob
able that during that time the saloon
men have occasionally been fined for
carrying on an unlawful occupation,
but such fines would hardly amount
to MS much as the usual license fees
collected in cities where licenses are
granted; or the number of saloons
would hardly bear the large proper
tion to the population as it is evident
that they do. 1t Is also possible that
in lieu of frequent fines. the saloon
keepers OF Bangor have ben in the
habit of paying for police protection;
as this is one of the customary in
eiients attached to having laws upon
the statute books which are enforced or
lefe unenforced at the discretion of the
local authorities.
But after all the principal point is
that absolute prohibition is a failure,
SO far as operating to decrease drink
ing or the number of saloons, Yer
mont has had prohibition law for al
most as long as Maine. Yet after full
trial the people of Vermont. by fair
majority, have recently adopted a con-
stitutional amendment. accepting the
license system. with local option fea-
ture sattached. very much such IL
quor law has worked satisfactorily
in Massachusetts,. The discovery has
been made in Vermont that the pro-
hildtion provisions were eniorcible only
in those communities where fair ma
jority of the people were in favor Of
prohibition; and for obvious reasons.
the law was disregarded in the COM
munities where the majority Of the
people were opposed to prohibition. or
indifferent to the enforcement of the
law. Officers elected by the people will
rarely go in the teeth of popular sem
timent among the lectors, no matter
how plain may be the provisions of
he statutes. If they do so. their tenure
II office is limited.
Vermont has taken the common sense
1iew Of the matter; and Maine may be
expected to follow the example at no
distant day in the future.

PROHIBITION IN MAINE.

Maine is the pioneer prohibition state.
It ls the first one which attempted to
enforce abstinence from the use of in
toxieating liquors by making it an Of
fenac against the law to sell such IL
quors. yet, according to the dispatches,
CONSERVATION is now reigning among
the saloon keepers of Bangor, because,
for the first time in quarter of a cen
fury, there is an attempt to enforce the
prohibition law in that city. The sig
nificant statement is made that in Pen
obscot county, which has a population
Of some 10000 people. there are 2S4 sa-
looms, the proprietors of which pay
regularly the United States tax upon
their occupation as retail dealers in in
toxicating liquors, and that all of these
saloon men have been indicted and
have before them the pfoSpect ol iin-
prisonment as well as of fine.
The significance Of this lies not in the
present movement against the saloon
keepers, which, according to all pre-
ecdent, is merely temporary matter
which viii run its course, and after
wards things win be permitted to re-
sumo their normal condition; but in
