BAD" WHISKY
Liquor Interests Lay Blame for Prohibition
Wave Upon Wretched Quality of Drink
Sold-Interesting Admissions

New York, Nov. 25.-(Special correspondence
Yesterday the New York Press gave to its
readers highly entertaining and instructive arti-
Gle regarding bad whisky. The basis of the dis
cussion is the alleged report Of committee ap-
pointed by zone Of the leading associations of
whisky manufacturers" to study the uprising
against the oro: trade" and discover, if possible,
its cause.
Tie committee is said to have Travelled widely
and to have studied the question most diligently,
impeed by the fact that the liquor interests which
they represent are really in state of alarm The
article says.
at was not until about six months ago that the
distillers and the distiers' agents looked on the
Prohibition wave seriously. They thought it was
certain to subside in short time, but now they
think otherwise They face to face with the
gravest crisis in the history of their trade and
they are making no secret of it. They no longer
smile indugently when Prohibitionists are spoken
Of and they will be thankful, indeed if they can
prevent the cold water brigade from making any
further progress now that nearly one-half of all
the territory in the United States is dry"
Wonderful to relate the committee discovers
that the whole trouble is rooted in bad" whisky.
Good liquors, they tell their senders and the

had paid the debts of the involved company and
placed it upon sound footing. Mr.. MULvIHILL
brings to The National Pyohibitionist wide ex-
perence, sound judgment and an excellent bust
ness standing in the city where the paper is pub
lished Indeed, it is by his sound judgment and
recognized ability and genius for organization
that the great combination has been possible.
Of the further personnel of the papers staff,
it may be said that Mr.. EDWARD E. BLAKE, who
conducted The Home Defender, is the subscrip-
ton manager of The National Prohibitionist,
while Mr.. GEORGE G. PENDELL is the general bust
ness manager
Mr. PENDELL has been connected with Pro-
hibition newspapers for many years. He
vice-president of the company which established
The Facts, which afterwards became The De-
fender. He publisher of The Standard of
Binghamton, and was later upon the editorial
staff of The NezV Voice. About year ago he
became business manager of The Defender, and
later member of the firm of FERGUSON & PEN
DELL, publishers of that paper. Few are
better furnished for the arduous duties of the
position which he now holds, and it is to be
doubted if the Prohibition party contains an
other man having wider range of abilities in
the newspaper Helu ana greater Capacity lot
hard work.
The editorial management of the paper is in
the hands of Mr.. WILLIAM P. F. FERGUSON, of
whom perhaps it is enough to say that, from
1899 to 1902, he was in full editorial control of
The Ne7O Voice, writing ninety-fve percent of
the editorials of that paper, and directing its
policy through the campaign of 1900 and through
other such critical periods as that which fol-
lowed the assassination of PRESIDENT MCKINLEY.
1t is believed that The National Prohibitiomist
is firmly founded; that its business arrangements
have been wisely planned, and that its editorial
policy is in safe hands The endorsement given
to it by the official heads of the party seems to
indicate that this belief is correct
1t is to help build up such paper under safe
management and with such prospects that the
appeal of the Extension Committee is made

Il ask our Pyohibitionists to give our nezv
paper, The National Prohibitionist' their most
hearty aud cordial SUPPORT"
These utterances will indicate to the reader
the fact that the Prohibition party now has a
paper in which the whole party unites and for
the success of which the whole party will work
1t is proper that Prohibitionists should know
something of that paper and its plans and man
agernent and prospects.
The National Prohibitionist is formed, as most
of its readers already know, by the union of
three papers, The Defender formerly published
in New York, The Home Defender, formerly
published in Chicago, and The NeaO Voice, for
many years the leading paper of the party.
The combination brought about, first by
the purchase of The Ne1V Voice through the
activities of the Extension Committee for The
Defender; second, by the purchase of ninety-four
percent of the stock of The Home Defender
Company by the publishers of The Defender
For business purposes the name of The Home
Defender Company has as yet been retained,
pending the necessary legal steps to change the
style to a name which will conform with the
present enterprise Messrs FERGUSON and PEN
DELL. who were in partnership the proprietors
of The Defender the owners of substantially
all the stock of the company. The ownership
of this stock is looked upon, not as an invest
ment, but as a means of serving the party and
the cause The gentlemen named look upon the
ownership as of fduciary character, consider
ing themselves informal but actual trustees for
the party at large, which has made this move
ment possible.
For the purpose of giving stability and security
to the work, we'll as protecting the enterprise
from unforeseen contingencies, and of safe
guarding the moral rights of the party, Messrs.
FERGUSON and PENDELL have created a trust of
major part of the stock which they own, and
have placed the same in the hands OF w. +.
| MuLvIH1LL for the purpose of holding and voting
as trustee representing the moral and extra-legal
interests of the party.
Mr. MuIv1HILL becomes the treasurer OF the
company in which capacity he serves without
salary or other recompense, save the oppor-
tunity to do work for the party and the cause.
It would be gratuitous to assume to introduce
Mr. MuLv1HnL to the Prohibtionists of the
United States; he needs it as little as either
of the other gentlemen with whom he is asso-
cated 1t was Mr. MULvIHILL who conducted
the famous campaign that elected OLIVER w.
STEWART to the legislature of Illinois and paved
the way for the tremendous legislative campaigns
which have followed in this state.

pers has been long and uniformly successful 1t was

In days when a man Is considered
obsolete at 60, one learns with amaze
ment that Rev. Thomas Lord, the

still able to conduct divine service, al.
though to-day he celebrates his hun

gentleman. who was Graded the year
after Pitt and Fox died, and was a
full-grown man while George Nv. was
still on the throne, has been preaching
for more than three-quarters of a cen

minister for 81 years, and Is now
within three years Of his century.

Why Canada Disappoints English
men.

why Canada Disappoints English
! The root OF the trouble lies, I
think, in the average Englishman's
conception of the empire. He is very
far from having reached the height
of regarding the empire as a partner
ship on equal terms. He feels mucn
more strongly and instinctively that
| the empire belong to England than
England to the empire. At the back
of his mind he does not really admit
! the Australian or New Zealander or
Canadian to an equality with him
, self. He still thinks and speaks OF
those great new nations with their
highly developed and aspiring con-
sclousness as colonies" or posses
sions."
He goes out, therefore, with a CON
lviction--no, that Is too strong
word; besides, It would imply that
he had given some thought to the
Imatter-he goes out with an instinct
of his own superiority. Americans
do not need to be told what English
| superiority" is like. They have
themselves experienced It at the
closest quarters. Indeed, Canadians
are having today very much the
same difficulty with English settlers
that Americans used to have-I hope
that by this time the nuisance has
somewhat ob:ted-with the diary
keeping English tourist.
On the one side there Is the same
disposition to dwell on the inevlt-
able rawness and crudities of new
society. On the other, Is the same
extreme LONELINESS" and the same
rampant form of patriotism.
English tractfulness has not visi-
bly, in creased since Lowell wrote
his famous essiy; the condescension
is still there. and very little effort
is made to disguise Il. And II oDer-
ates In Canada all the more offen-
.sively because OF the Englishman's
disgust at not finding Canada Eng
lish. He goes out with the expecta-
tion of finding "a country which Is
the replica OF home-not so polished,
not so highly organized, but none the
less copy of the original" It will
be he thinks, "a New Engand-a
Little England Larger England
a rougher and uncultured England
another England OF some sort" He
finds instead that it is Canada

1t really looks as If we might in
time be relieved of the nuisance of
having conductors squeezing
through densely crowded trolley
cads to collect fares. The evil
passed beyond the stage of discom-
fort and crossed the bounds of de-
lccncy long ago.
In Europe somebody has devised
cars which have long platform with
"a place for the conductor to stand
and take fares as the passengers en-
ter. The plan works finely abroad,
and is said to have succeeded IN
Montreal. on Sunday the first cars
of the kind were tried in Chicago
and made a record of passing in
seventy-five passengers minute.
The New York City Railroad Com
pany has ordered 1856 of these new
pattern cars for the surface lines in
Manhattan and they are now being
received and prepared for use. They
are ten feet longer than the largest
cars now in use in that borough. A
good part of this increased size goes
to the platforms which receive pas
sengers on one side and discharge
tn nm on the other, the streams be-
ing separated by an iron railing.
Between the two stands the conduc-
tor, who takes the fares of the en-
terlng stream as the passengers pass
him. The great size may be against
the use of the cars in Brooklyn, as
nearly every trolley line in this city
turns short corners around which
there is difficulty in getting the larg-
est cars now in use. There is some
question, too, whether larger cars
than those now in use could be car
ried around the curves at the other
end of the Brooklyn bridge. But
there is no question that IL the new
type of car pleases Manhattan, and
above all, II Il does away with the
need of conductor squeezing
through the packed masses of hui
nanity with which ouh street cars
ire now laden, the demand for their
here Will be clamor-
,us. It might even be wise to use

ate the reduction Of space inside the
