considerable surprise. as it was known
that his theatre had been a splendid pay

paid was in the neighborhood of $780,
600.

est latitude is being INDUCED in by the
Congressman in their speeches The
tariff has been discussed at length by
both Republicans and Democrats, and
other topics have been discussed, which
have no bearing, even remotely, upon the
bill before the House. John Sharp Will
liams, the Democratic leader, has made
a speech that it is believed will be used
as campaign document next fall. He
took the Republicans to task, and in the
course of his speech he had a lively coli
loquy with Representative Grosvenor, of
Ohio, and Gardner, of Massachusetts,
and he raher worsted the Republicans in
the battle of words.
Speaker Cannon is anxious to see Com
gress adjourn by May Is. It is believ-
ed, however, thatsthe consideration of the
railroad rate bill in the Senate may pre-
vent an adjournment by that date. The
Senate will disseet the rate bill minute
~. and the time that win be consumed
will delay the adjournment, 50 that the
session may extend into the early part
of lime.

st. Michael's Parishionss
Receive a Circular Re-
lating to the Liquor Ques-
ton
TIE PROPOSED CHANGES
TO EFFECT ALL THE PURPOSES
OF THE REFORMERs AND REN-
DER THE SALOON BUSINESS
RESPECTABLE AND CoMPARA-
TIYELY HARMLESS

The following circular was distributed
to the parishioners of st. Michaels
Church after yesterday mornings mass
es:-
''I'o the People,
Amendments asked in the Bishops
Bills.
The purpose of these amendments is
to make the liquor traffic as respectable
as any other legitimate business by elm
mating from it the lawlessness and i'm
morality that have been attached to it
by some men wholly devoid of the prin-
ciple of right conduct who are engaged
in it and have allied themselves to the
service of crime.
"Note how these amendments will OPP
crate to this end:--
sFfrst-The owner of the property
must sign for the license and he must
help to make the business respectable
by renting his property to law-abiding
dealers only, or be punished. This is the
reason for asking the first amendment.
Second liquor traffic is being
degraded by the fierce competition in it,
resulting from the unlimited multiplica-
ton of saloons, especially in the tene-
ment districts. This competition forces
many saloon-keepers to ally themselves
with crime to increase their receipts and
make their business profitable. There
fore the increase of license is asked that
some check be put to the abnormal ex-
tension of the traffic. AS the
evils resulting from this increase in the
number of saloons have assumed alarm
ing proportions in cities, the license fee
was raised only in the larger mun6cipaf-
ties of the State. This is the reason for
asking the second amendment
.4Third- Every intelligent citizen can
readily see good reasons for safeguard
ing minors in every possible way by the
strong arm of the law.
.'Fourth-Nothing has done more to
degrade the liquor traffic and to arouse
the indignation of the decent men in the
liquor business and outside of it, in every
walk of life, than the back room and
dance hall attachments, which have made
many saloons mere avenues to dens of
deepest infamy working the moral and
physical destruction of multitudes of boys
and girls, particularly in tenement dis
tricts. Some power is paralyzing the ex-
ecutive that should enforce the laws re
straining and furnishing lawlessness, and
therefore these wretches that are dis
gracing and degrading the liquor traffic
and the men in it canot be reached unless
all screens are done away with. Let the
light of day in; let the public look in and
| it will discriminate between the good
and ad~saloons and see TO it that the bad
az. elmniss ted"

NEWARK, Mar. -, 19O6.-A cali
has been issued to the Citizens Of New
Jersey" to attend convention to be held
Tuesday, March 20, in the New Auditor
ium. Orange street The purpose of the
meeting is to reorganize the Democratic
schools sign the call. Allan Benny and
John Moody, who are said to have origi-
mated the movement, head the list of
signers.
The circular is in the nature of a man
ifesto, setting forth the principles of a
Progressive Democracy" These COIN
eide, in part, with the basic principles of
the Colby movement and overlap, to an
extent. the recent formal declaration is
sued by the Democratic League. Simon
P. Northrup, the leagues president. and
several others of its members are among
its signers. One name on the list is
Charles G. Black. Another is that of
State Senator James f. Minturn Of Hud-
son county, who is said to have delivered
himself of some cutting and uncompli-
mentary remarks when the manifesto
sign. According to persons who were
present on that occasion, he was indig-
nant because of aspersions cast upon the
old-line party leaders. Whatever may
have occurred at that time, he is now
evidently satisfied that he is in good
company.
Former Judge George H. Lambert is
credited with being Essex county's most
active exp0nent of the new State move
ment. Among the other Essez Democrats
whose names appear are Julian A. Greg
DRY. whom Everett Colby defeated for
Senator; Thomas A. Davis. the leading
Democratic reformer in Orange, and Ed
mond A. Whittier, known as organizer
of new things in politics. James E. Mar
