FL gobierno, ante el clamor de an

preachers resumed their weekly seq
sIons yesterday at No. $50 Firth ave-

speaker for the day was the Rev Her

Methods in Temperance Reform.
Mr. Wood described conditions in
England and discussed the Earl Grey
system, which he found bad, and the
Subway Tavern, which he condemned
unequivocally.
The Rev DR.. F. c. Iglehart, Of
Peekskill said "One of the most
ridiculous as well as terrible things
in recent times in this city has been
the spectacle Of the sanctification of
the low down, greasy Bowery saloon
called the Subway Tavern.

might have been misrepresented, l

slightest evidence there Of respectable

tons, bar, bottles, customers or atmos-

class saloon looks like except for the
glimpse l have had through swinging
doors. but in comparison I should call
the Subway Tavern a third rate sa-
loon"
The meeting passed a resolution pro-
viding for the appointment OF com

The Baptist ministers conference
also opened it's season in the Madison

TOM TAGGART
DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WEST
VIRGINIA POLITICS-THE EDI-
TOR OF Mr.. DAVIS HOME
PAPER SAYS THINGS.

The correspondent Of the Nework
Daily News has been in West Virginia
talking with the editors of the rural
Democratic newspapers. We quote
the remarks Of one journalist as a
fine example of humor and pathos
combined
'Dr. ]. H. Weymouth, editor Of the
Randolph County Enterprise, one of
the most influential Democratic week
lies of West Virginia, expressed to me.
for himself as well as on behalf Of his
contemporary Democratic editors in
the State, his utter dissatisfaction with
the methods OF the National Demo
cratic committee.
The country newspapers of West
Virginia. said DR.. Weymouth, have
always received some financial con-
sheraton from the National commit
tee in Presidential campaigns. In the
two Bryan campaigns we knew the
National committee did not have any
money, but every Democratic paper
OF the State felt like helping the ticket
out and giving it our Ileartiest support.
But now that the Democratic Nation
other Wall street magnates back OF it
there is every reason why Democratic
editors OF country newspapers in West
Virginia should get check every
month, but not single editor in the
State-and I have visited fifty-two of
The fifty-five counties-has received a
cent from our National committee
Turning 10 his desk, DR.. Weymouth
picked up a large envelope he hac. just
received. In it was a circular letter
from Thomas TaGgart. chairman of
The National Democratic committee,
recommending the articles written by
q press syndicate. Accompanying
this were some articles about Parker
Constitution Clubs which the svndi-
cate or press bureau of the National
committee asked to have printed
They Will not get any OF their
stuff printed in my paper. said Dr..
Weymouth and ! hardly think they
will succeed in Getting many West
Virginia editors to print their matter.
Il is very palm 20 me that the National
committee does NOT understand MS
IN comnlenting ON this interview the
New York Sun says: Does Mr.. Par
ker know Of the miserable state of
affairs in West Virginia? Does Mr.
Belmont know OF it? Is the Hon. Hen
- Gassaway Davis aware that almost
in the shadow of his own comfortable
home able and incOrruptblc Demo
cratic editors, hungry for bread in the
shape OF the customary monthly
check, are receiving from the hands
Of Thomas Ta2Sart naught but petri-
fed advice TO form Parker Cons1ilu-
ion clubS2
Is it possible that the suspicion is
we'll founded that Tag2art has di
verted the entire literary fund TO his
own indianapolis Sentinel?.

General at Tashke nt now IS directed
from s NJ Petersbur y. and that policy
according 70 General Eluropatkin, Is
Epeacea bic. NJ

4 e The principles which govern the
policy Of Russia, he said, are very
simple. They are the maintenance Of
peace. or order and OF prosperity in
all classes of the population. On this
account the hasty annexation of new
territories is discouraged, because of
the responsibilities it involves, for the
Inhabitants of the conquered lands be
come Russian subjects, children OF
the Car. and are invested with every
privilege enjoyed by citizens Of the
empire This utterance is the more
noteworthy because il is coupled with
an explicit declaration that the policy
Of the local governor in Central Asia
is the policy of St. Petersburg. With
out this it might have passed for a
mere expression of the principles
which have GOVERNED the line of action
of Kuropatkin himself and of his
master, General Skobeleff.
"On this point Skobeleff spoke even
more emphatically, and contrasted the
action of Russia in this respect with
that Of England in India. In a proc
lamation to his troops after the vic
tory at Cock Teppe he said: "A new
era has opened for the Tekkes-an era
Of equality and Of a guaranteed pos
session of property for all without dis
tinction. Our Central Asian policy
recognizes no pariahs. Herein lies
our superiority over the English In
support of his statement that Russia's
policy made for peace General kuro-
patkin adduced the orderly condition
of Central Asia, the growing attach
ment shown by the Inhabitants to their
new rulers and the steady increase of
wealth. The trading classes are now
the stanchest supporters Of our author

nothing to Withdraw of the things
that have said against the methods
pursued to advance his candidacy. It
was plain and deliberate attempt to:
deceive the party. The New York
platform was vague and purposely
so, because the advocates of Judge
Parker were trying to secure votes
from among the people who would
have opposed his views had they
known them. - The nonina-s

ed and indefensble methods."--WiI-$
