WHITE RIBBONERS
Finish a Most Seductive Meeting—A Commit
tee, Headed by Mrs. Carlton, Adopt a
Novel Reform Plan.
Baltimore, Oct. 23.—The most success
ful convention ever held by the Woman's
Christian Temperance union, and In
many respects the most Important ever
held by women in any age or in any coun
try, had a brilliant closing tonight. The
perfect organization and well arranged
methods of work has given unquestiona
ble proof of the ability of the white rib
boners to conduct the business of such
a convention with the beBt possible re
sults. The greatest variety of topics has
been before the convention and disposed
of with dispatch. The main Isucs, how
ever, were not lost sight of and Miss Wil
lard and the delegates generally believe
the society has taken a tong step toward
the creation of public sentiment for the
enactment of laws to abolish the sale of
liquor and to prohibit the "social evil.”
The place for the holding of the next na
tional convention was not decided upon.
Hundreds who tried to gain admission to
Music hall tonight to witness the closing
scenes of the convention were unsuccess
ful. Banners were presented to several
state unions, which showed large gains
in membership, and there is a feast of
music. As the roll of states was called
each state delegation responded by rising
and singing an unique song, especially
composed for the occasion.
Twenty-five of the delegates to the con
vention spent an hour last night In pray
ing and singing hymns in some of the
dissolute houses on Raborg street.
Headed by Mrs Charlton and Ed Holm,
the energetic rescue worker of Chicago,
they went direct to the western police
station, where they were Joined, by Po
lice Sergeant Clowe. The sergeant acted
as pilot.
There were houses still open and at
these the request for admittance was not
refused. On account of the size of the
party It was separated into four small
divisions, each of which chose separate
houses for Its field of work.
In one or two instances the visitors
were so successful that they were invited
to come again in a day or two and have
another and more extended talk with the
ones with whom they were pleading.
In a report read today by Mrs. Matilda
B. Carse of Chicago it was stated that the
outlook favored her belief that $300,000
would be raised before the 1st of January
to retire outstanding stock and bonds of
the church for Woman’s Christian Tem
perance union temple. Mrs. Jane Kenney
of Michigan reported for the penal and
reformatory institutions’ departments.
She asserted that the white ribboners are
doing more to secure separate reforma
tory in institutions for women and chil
dren than any other organization and ex
pressed the hope that women would be
appointed on state boards of charity and
correction.
Miss Willard carried the convention
with her In a broad movement to include
Catholics and Hebrews in fraternal -re
lations with the white ribbon society.
The question arose with the following
resolution:
Resolved, That Catholic and Hebrew
women should be Invited to send fra
•ternal delegates from their annual con
ventions to ours and to establish
branches of the white ribbon society
within their own borders.
One of the delegates suggested that It
plight not be quite consistent for the
Woman's Christian Temperance union to
ask Hebrews to affiliate. She laid special
emphasis on the word "Christian.” This
roused Miss Willard. She called the vice
president, Mrs. Stevens, to the chair and
took the floor, speaking In a stirring
manner, evidently from a full heart. She
said: "I want to recognize these denomi
nations because In places where I have
been, especially in the south, they ex
hibited sympathy tn our work, and have
extended every courtesy. It has especial
ly touched my heart that in meetings
where I have presented the work of this
organization among those who have wel
comed me on the platform have been the
Catholic priest and the Hebrew rabbi.
"They knew what I came for; they
knew what I represented, and If they
were broad enough to go half way and

to extend the hand of greeting, should
my soul be so small and withered as not
to accept the clasp? I want to welcome
them to us If they want to come.” (Ap
plause.)
After Miss Willard's speech the reso-lu- i
tlon passed through all stages of amend- '
ment, but every thine was voted down
and the national convention, led by Miss
Willard, extended the hand of fellowship
to Catholics and Hebrews.
A resolution, Introduced by Miss Wil
lard, was adopted calling on the United
States government to make its power
felt in the diplomatic council of the r'
tlons on the subject of Armenia.
Another resolution extends to Theodore
Roosevelt thanks for heartily demon
strating that the saloons can be closed

Cooper Union Crowded With
Enthusiastic Democrats
TO HEAR MR. HILL SPEAK
He Raked the Republicans Over the Coals,
and Made a Rousing Demo
cratic Speech.
New York, Oct. 23— One of the largest
mass meetings ever held in this city
crowded Cooper union tonight. The
meeting was held under the auspices of
the state democratic Committee. Sena
tor David B. Hill was the principal
speaker. Long before the hour of open
ing, crowds began to gather about Coop
er union and within a few minutes after
the doors were thrown open every seat
was occupied, every aisle jammed and
hundreds had to be turned away unable
to gain admission.
1 he meeting was called to order by
Chairman Hinckley of the democratic
state committee, who introduced the
chairman of the evening. Frederick K.
Ooudert.
Mr. Coudert made a special speech in
which he said he favored partisanship,
but wished it to be understood that the
democratic party was in the majority
and should rule. He then introduced
Senator Hill, who received a tremendous
ovation. When the cheering subsided
Senator Hill began his address by pay
ing his inspects to Warner Miller, who
he said was like his party in many re
spects. absolutely without qualified prin
ciples. Of late years the party had drift
ed from one position to another, resorting
figst to one expedient and then to a dif
ferent one, bowing to every passing
breeze of public opinion, making "com
bines” with every "ism" that presents
itself and without adhering to any steady
policy for any extended period. This has
been its recent attitude in relation to
the national and state affairs. It has
"wabbled” on the tariff question in al
most every national piauumi, ov-aivc.,,
ever statins its position twice alike. It
declared for reserving the public lands
for actual settlers and then when in pow
er, with a lavish hand, it gave those
lands away to favorite railroad corpora
tions.
In state affairs its record has been
equally inconsistent, exhibiting an en
tire absence of permanent principles.
It has declared In a general way for
local self-government and then its legis
lation has centered power at Albany. It
has been for home rule for cities and then
against it—usually against It.
What the business Interests of New
York require at this time is industrial
peace. Renewred tariff agitation can
serve no useful purpose, because no leg
islation hostile to the principal feature
of the present law can possibly be en
acted until after the 4th of March, 1897,
the expiration of the term of the present
legislature.
It is folly to attempt it; it is unwise to
advocate it. A visit to any manufactur
ing town in this state will convince the
most Skeptical that the practical opera
tion of the new tariff is reasonably satis
factory. Some establishments are work
ing day and night; others are worktng
largely overtime, wages are being in
creased and newoperatives are being em
ployed.
If our opponents really desire to pre
sent the issue of a continuance of the
present tariff vs. a return to the Mc
Kinley law, we shall welcome that issue
and shall have no fears of the result.
W'hile the election of no federal officers
(except a congressman in a single dis
trict) are involved in this state election,
the moral effect of the election of the
democratic state ticket would be an as
sured security of the manufacturers,
business men, farmers and workingmen
of the state that a crusade for substan
tial tariff changes will not be attempted.
The average general reduction In tariff
taxes, about 33 1-3 per cent from those
in the McKinley law, and it s barely pos
sible that considering the revenues which
now seem to be needed by the govern
ment, a less reduction would have been
preferable, but that moral fact is not
by anv means conceded and time alone
can determine it. This much may be
safely stated that the duties are reason
able and fair, and intelligently imuosed
with good judgment and discrimination.
They were honestly designed for pur
poses of revenue and not for the fostering
of monopolies or the aiding of private In
terests. The principle of "no public taxes
except for public purposes” has been en
deavored to be preserved. Undue anx
iety for the tax payers may have mani
fested itself, but that is a creditable
fault, or at least not a neinous one, uuu
one that will be duly appreciated by the
people. The Interests of labor have not
been lost sight of or Ignored, for while
the duties Imposed have been only di
rectly for the purpose of revenue, they
have In all Instances been sufficiently
large to represent the difference In wages
paid between this and foreign countries
so far as the cost of labor has entered
Into the production of manufactured
articles. This Is an Important fact and
cannot be successfully disputed.
The democratic party may not always
have acted with entire wisdom In re
gard to the sllvpr, but this much can' be
said—that It was not responsible for the
Sherman silver law, That law was re
publican In Its Inception, In Its enact
ment and In Its enforcement. The pres
ident called an extra session of congress
to secure Its repeal, and after a long
and weary struggle a democratic con
gress wiped It out, and It no longer ex
ists. The law ceased, but Its mischief
remains, because there has been issued
under its provisions one hundred and
fifty millions of legal tender paper money,
with substantially no available assets
with which to redeem It, and which to
day Is disturbing the treasury and em
barrassing Its operations.
The national democratic administra
tion Is giving to the country a well ad
ministered government. The various de
partments are being honestly, economi
cally and wisely conducted. With honor,
dignity and diligence they are discharg
ing their duties as public trusts for the
welfare of the whole people.
We are Indeed enjoying an area of
good government, and no good citizen
can furnish adequate reasons for desir
ing a change of parties In the control of
national affairs.
“Personal liberty,” the senator said
was one of the principal issues involved
In the state campaign, and upon this
text he denounced the New York city
police commissioners for their strict,
narrow and arbitrary Interpretation of
the Sunday liquor laws.
The senator concluded as follows:
"Fellow democrats, the moral effect of
a democratic victory in this state cannot
be overestimated. It will pave the way
for the great contest of 1896 and make
our struggle easier. The democracy of
other states are watching our battle with
Interest, hoping that the great Empire
State will once more take her place In
the democratic column. Let us not dis
appoint them. Let us be true to our
country, our party and ourselves and vic
tory will crown our efforts. Let New
York be the ‘star of the east’ for the en
couragement of the democracy of the na
11 Senator Hill was frequently interrupted
by applause.

Ohio to give his services to Governor
Campbell in the latter’s campaign. He
will remain In Ohio three or four days

"Alright, Mr. Ryan," replied Officer
Langston, "1 want you.”
“And for what?” says Cusiack.
"For beating Pete Bonner with brass
knucks,” says the officer.
The two left the train and went out the
gale. Cusiack had two bundles in his
arms. Outside some one made an un
pleasant remark to Cusiack and like a
flash he was after the jester, but Officers
Langston, Eagan and Armstrong suc
ceeded in subduing their prisoner before
any serious damage was done.
“ft's a queer mug I’d 'av put on the

police station, "If the officers hadn’t
