Cardinal Gibbons Does Not OPP
pose Prohibition.

IbbSC
Cardinal Gibbons, who has lately
| cen on n few days visit to the city
of New Orleans, was interviewed by
a Picaynne reporter, who put the
Cardinal on record as opposed to
prohibition in large cities. His emf
hence takes exception To this state
mpnt, and writes the Picayune the
following letter on the subject
New Orleans, La, Feb. 13, 'OS.
Editor ofthe Picayune:
Ny Dear Sir: regret very much
that your reporter unconsciousif
failed to catch the true expressions
of nv thoughts in an interview last
evening. What | intended to say
WAS that. in my Judgment, prohlbl-
bition is impracticable in lnrge com
inercial cities like New Orleans.
| think that local option can be
successfully tried incountry districts.

Cardi,lal Gibbons nor any OF the

and the whisky advocates are quick
to take advantage Of their conserva-
tism on the subject. They certainl.,

Not content with trying to boost
the whisky traffic as receiving the
support of Cardinal Gibbons, and ct h.
er church dignitaries, we BEE some ol

in the Pope of Rome as supporter
of the saloons. They say the Pope

Tan.n,anx,s Other Name.

The name "Tammany" is now so
generally associated with the or
ganization that plays such an i'm
portant part in New York's politi-
cal life, that it is often forgotten
that the real Society of Tammsny
is the Columbian Order, a secret
society which exerts considerable
influence outside of that which il
due to It's affiliations with politici-
ans or political affairs. The Co
lumbar Order was organized in
the year l789, its institution being
the result of popular movement
against the so-called "aristocratic'
Society of Cincinnati. William
Mooney, its founder and first
grand sachem, was an upholsterer,
an American of Irish parentage,
and strong antifederalist in poll
tics. As it was the belief of the
time that the society of Cincinnati
was nothing more than an attempt
to establish an American aristoc-
racy, Mooney found it an easy
matter to secure the cooperation
of many others, who like himself
believed that the Democratic prin-
ciples of the nation were threaten
ed. The name Tammany was Sc
lected in honor of that wise and
friendly chief Of the Delaware tribe
of lDdians.-Little Rock Times.

ROOSEVELT A DICTATOR.
SENATOR BACON SAYS

The President was held up as a
dictator by Senator Bacon Of Georgia
yesterday in the course or debate in
the Senate. Senator. Bacon attacked
the President Tor usurpation Of author
ity and voiced the resentment deeplv
harbored by Democrats and Republic
cans alike over the alleged efforts OF
the White House to Coerce Congress
into following the Executive viii.
Senator BacCn's remarks were
prompted by the reports that in a. Sc
Ties OF White House conferences. the
Administration had settled on a bin
intended to overhaul the Sherman anti
t.ust law. The Senate was debating
he FRYE resolution to provide thai
Panama canal supplies be carried only
In American ships. This led Senator
Bacon into the tariIf question, and
thence INTO a discussion of the Presf-
DENIS attitude toward Congress. He
outlined the great subjects on which

NEW PENSION BILL

Virginia Representative
Only Person Who Can
Cause Action.

Owing to a peculiar parliamentary sit
UatiOn in the House Committee on Mill
tary AhaiFs, Representative James HAY.
OF Virginia is now the only member of
Congress able TO furnish an opportunity
for the passage OF the bill 10 pension
the volunteer officers and privates OF
the civil war, which would necessitate
the expenditure Of $90.GJ0.0JO OF the
Governments money.
This biH which has been boosted b.
the Association Of Volunteer Officers,
was voted on in the committee several
days ago, when a motion by Mr.. Hay
10 lay 1t on the table resulted in a tie
Vote of 5 to s. This being the case.
the only way in which it can be con
sidered again is for Mr.. Hay to renew
his motion 10 lay IL on the table.
Members Of the association are max
ing every effort to have the bill corr
sidered again by the cor.mittee. They
claim that the volunteer officers and
privStes should be hOnOred az the bin
requires II provides that the officers.
of which there are from 5000 to 1890,
should be put on the retired list a the
grades they held when the war ended.
and that each should draw 81 COO a year.
while the prIvates should DC paid SEQ a
month.
To this is added the provision that
the bill shall apply TO those officers
and priVates who served at least eight
cen months in the war General Aims
worth, the adjutant general Of the War
department, has estimated that the en-
actment of the bill would cost the Gov
eminent COO the first year Later,
II II should be amended so as 10 in
clude the men who served twelve
months and six months, the EXPENSE
would be much greater.
Hay is opposed 10 the bill on the
ground that most Of the officers and
FrlyaJes are not in want, and that
such an expenditure OF Government
money would be too eXtravagaut If ne
calls the bill up, ii will be when he
IS sausned he has enough Democrats
present at the committee meeting 10
lay the bill on the table forever.
The volunteer officers and priyates
however have not given up hope. They
are still doing everything possible TO
secure favorable consideration of the
bill, and are hoping that. if IL is called
up, someone Will change his vote and
