A Tremendous Pressure Being Brought to Bear Upon the Finance Committe by the Flonda Cigar Makers - Other Put in a Word or Two. Washington, 1). C., Juno r*.—The opening ofthc doors of the Senate Fi ■ nance Committee to the importers yester day has had the effort of bringing down 1 upon the committee hosts of people in forested in the tariff bill who desire to . make statements. Inconsequence of tho demands of ■ this elass the committee made no progress this morning on the considera tion of the schedules of the bill. Mr. Morn, of tho firm of Washburn 1 and Moen, Worcester. Mass., was before the Committee for a short time advocat ing free steel blooms and a revision of the duty on wire, a reduction on some . grades aud an increase ou others. A tremendous pressure is being brought to bear upon tho Committee to secure a change in the parugrugh living the duty on leaf tobacco, suitable for ; cigar wrappers, at two dollars a pound, if not stemmed, and two dollars ami seventy-live cents a pound if stemmed. Tie* paragrapli makes the whole bale of tohaccco in which a single leaf suitable for wrapper? may be found dutiable at the rates named. There was a delega tion of Florida cigar makers before the committee to-day urging that this lie changed so that only the leaf suitable for wrapper shall be ■ subject t<>the high rate of duty, it is believed that the committee will report an amendment which, while affording adequate protection to national growers will, at the same time, enable the man ufacturers of Havana cigars in this country to continue their business, • which has grown to great proportions. Later in the day the Republican mem bers of the committee will get together - j and resume consideration of the sehed : ulcs ,.,f the bill, probably taking up liquors. Senator Aldrich -ays it has i been decided to grant no more bearings. «»l KSTION Oh' COIN AUK 1 Long lllsciiHtimi ill the Lower ISranrli of l'uiiEri>i>«. \Vvsiiinotox. I). C., June 5.— Mr. McKlnlev.Trom the Committee on Rules, reported a resolution providing that the House -hoiI proceed immediately to the consideration of House 1 >i11 .1.331 (tiie >ilv« r liilll and that the consideration shall continue until Saturday at 3 p. m.. when the previous question shall be con sidered as ordered. The previous pues tion having been ordered on the r> solution, forty minutes debate was allowed Mr. lilouut. of Georgia, had no objection to the time limited for debate. Hut lie was informed that the chairman of the Committee on Coinage. Weights and Measures would lie allowed to offer all tlu* amendments which were admissable under tint rules of the House. When these were offered there would ; Ik- left no opportunity for the minority for an offer. There would be given no opportunity on tin- part of the minority 1 to a'k the House to vote on the fro« coinage of silver. At the Republican caucus last night then had been much discussion and it was necessary to w hip in the friends of free silver by means of this resolution, it was a wicked, shameful outrage in ; the minority. There were many men I on the other side of the chamber who would vote for free silver but for fear of the President. The President was in accord with the Secretary of the Treas i iiry and both were in accord with Wall I street, in the Presence of the Pres ! ident and the enemies of free coinage, the Republicans who favored free silver were driven to trampling down the rules of the House. It was a humiliating sight to an American citizen. If the majority and the President yielded to , tie money power, the masses of the : people would hereafter dictate and on ! toree legislation in their iuterests. The resolution making the silver bill a special order was adopted: yeas 120, nays 117. Mr. lllout voted in the af firmative and moved a reconsider. rl lie motion to reconsider was adopted: was 121, nays Us. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, said that a Hcniocratie House had passed a free go bill: that tin* Senate had limit ed it and that the House had been obliged to accept t he limitation. It had been vetoed by Mr. Hayes ami passed over bis veto. He wanted to call tiie attention of the country to the fact that tiie situation was this. That no at tempts to offer amendments to the bill, except such as might be suggested by the chairman of the committee. lie de nounced the action as one intended to prevent the representatives of the peo ple from carrying out the will of the i*eople. Mr. McKinley said the resolution was intended to give the House an opportu nity to pass some silver legislation and give the country a silver bill which would be in perfect response to tiie gen eral sentiments of the country. It was to give the House an opportunity to pass a bill which would take all the silver bullion of the I nitinl States and utilize it for monetary purposes. It was to give to the people not $',\(mm,0oo a month, but Si,210,000. If gentlemen on the other side wanted to vote on free silver they could move to recommit, with in structions to the committee to report back a free coinage clause. The reso lution was adopted. \cas 120, nays 11*. Mr. Hlount. of Georgia, changed his vote to the affirmative and moved a re unsith ration. Mr. McKinley moved to lay this on the table.

It provides that the Sec '! retary of the Tn asury is authorized to i, purchase silver bullion each i mouth amounting to $4..'.00,000, l and to issue Treasury notes • in pavtuent: which sliall he ^ legal • tender: that the Secretary of the Treas ury shall coin such imrtion of the silver ; (million purchased under the provisions of this act as may be necessary to prie • vide for the redemption of the Treasury •! notes herein provide 1 for. and gain or seigniorage arising from such coinage.

Measures are then prescrllied for the : handling of coin, and the destroying of redeemed notes, and concludes with • this act shall take effect thirty days 1 from and after its passage." Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, offered an amendment to the original bill pro viding that if the net amount of silver bullion received shall be less than <•*,000.000 in any month, the Secretaty of the Treasury shall <»n the succeeding month purchase a sufficient amount to supply the detiviem y. This was fur ther amended by making the sum *3,00( 000, and as all amendments had been made allowable under the rules. Mr. Bland, aTio was on his feet, wasfgnored. Mr. Conger, of Iowa, said this bill was a long step toward free coinage. If passed it would pave the way for a suc ceeding Congress to open the doors. Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, spoke in favor of the bill, and Mr. I.anham, of Texas opposed it. Pending further debate, tin- House , adjourned. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Some Future Plans of the West Virginia Congressmen. Special Ttl'tram to the Reoieter. Washington, II. C.. June ft.—Repre sentative Wilson will leave here Sat urday for Missouri. He will be present at the Democratic Convention of the Third District at Richmond, on the 10th, and will make a speech. The conven tion will renominate Congressman Dock ery on the next day. Mr. Wilson will deliver the commencement address at William Jewell College, in Clay county. Dockery says the Democratsof Missonri will give Wilson an ovation. Senator Faulkner has introduced a Itill to pay Asa Kelly, of Doddridge county, four hundred dollars for two horses taken during the war. Senator Henna, who has been in a physician's care for some days, has been advised to spend some days at the sea shore. The Southern Republican Congress men, including those from West Vir ginia. held a caucus last night, and after much talk agreed to vote for a Federal election law, some of them ex pressing a preference for tin* Lodge bill. They also agreed to demand tin passage of an educational bill and of bills to pay Southern war claims, but this caucus amounts to nothing. These Southern Republicans are abjectly sub servient to Reed and will tremblingly obey when be cracks his whip. it:ki: coinage of sii.vkk. Mr. lliKcock Aiidrefiten tl»«* Senate in dp* position. Washington', Juiii1 3.—Iii the Senate the silver hill was taken up, ami Mr. lliseoek addressed the Senate in oppo sition ti* the free coinage of silver, lie believed that a majority of the people were opposed to opening the mints of the I’nlted States to the free coinage of the world. At the conclusion of Senator Hiseock’s address Mr. Sherman took the floor and attacked free coinage. Iu his judgment the national conventions of both politi cal parties would by decisive majorities repudiate such a proposition. The last Democratic national convention bad ig nored the question altogether, and the Republican national convention, if the question had been submitted to it, would have rejected-it by an over whelming majority. Mr. Maud, of Missouri, said that there was no doubt but that a large majority of the House was In favor of the unlim ited coinage of silver. In order to pre vent that fact from appearing on the 1 record, it was proprosed to gag every Democrat iu the House and many of the Republicans. Every gentleman who , voted for this resolution voted against . free silver. The man who had not | manhood and independence enough to stand up against this gag rule was an I unfit representative. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, said that the resolution was simply a proposition that under tin- rules I of tile House, the House should proceed I at once to consider a bill of great inter jest to the country. The minority could I offer every amendment to the bill that | they could under the general rule. The minority which was now clamoring for free coinage, had hold the House in the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Congress hut had passed no bill for free coinage. Mr. Sherman then addressed the Sen ate. lie had, he said, consented to the increase of circulation proposed in the bill—fifty-four millions a year. lie saw no objection to that, although he thought it a little larger than was neces sary. lb- believed treasury notes based on silver bullion were safe. That was far preferable to tin* free coinage of silver; because, with all the efforts made to get i the silver dollars iu circulation there was not one of them in circulation for every inhabitant. Passing to the ques tion of the demonetization of silver in ls73. Mr. Sherman gave a history of that transaction so as to set at rest for ever all the charges of bad faith and conspiracy in connection with it. No bill, he said, had ever been more fully discussed than that, and yet his friend, Mr. Morrill, and himself who had voted against it. because it discontinued the charges for coinage, were constantly denounced as conspirators, while the Senators from the Pacific Coast, all of whom voted for it, jiosed as victims, lie thought it necessary. In* said, in closing that subject, to trace down the lie, not only for himself, but for all others engaged in that legislation. Coming back to the question of the bill, lie said that the result of free coin age would be to demonetize gold, and to cause gold to be horded or exported. The pound sterling wound be worth instead of <1.82. and the American dol lar would be, as in Colonial times, worth 3 shillings, or 4 francs. In conclusion, Mr. Sherman said that lie would vote for any measure that would, in his judgment, secure and main tain the bi-metallic standard. Mr. Teller congratulated himself that the mask was off the faces of tin* so called silver party. The gentleman (Mr. Sherman) was evidently for gold as a standard, and the abandonment of I silver as a money metal. Mr. Stewart again referred to the bill of 1S73, demonetized the silver dollar, and said the amendment demonetizing silver had never been read in the House. Mr. Sherman produced the original j bill and showed it had been read and voted on in the House, and amended I there on his motion. Mr. Stewart as serted it was not read, and Mr. Sher | man said he was sorry a Senator who had the testimony before him could not frankly and fairly withdraw his charges of Impropriety. Mr. Stewart said he had been charged ' with Wing present when the transaction took place. West Virginia Pension*. Special Telegram to the Reg\*ter. Washington.

STARTLING FACTS IN REGARD TO THE FILI BUSTERING SCHEME. The Plan t) Annex tho Peninsula t) the British Em pire—How the War Vessels Were to Recon noitre—A Deep Laid Plan All Explained. Sax Fkaxcisco, June5.—Tin*Chroni cle's spinal from Suu Diego, says; The investigation being made into the pro posed filibustering exposition against Lower California continues to reveal startling facts and a new phase is now put upon the affair. From the evidence furnished by the agents of the Mexican Laud and Colonization Co., it appears that the president of the company had a plan to annex the peninsula to the British Empire by pursuing the same policy, that was followed by the Fast India Company when Croat Britain acquired her possessions in Asia. It was designed to colonize Lower Califor nia and secure concessions from the Mexican government, and then to pro voke a strike and foment dissension. English capital and interests would then he jeopardized and the intervention of the mother country was to be invoked, in proof of tills, the statement of Re agents of the company, substantiated by documentary evidence, lias been se cured. Manager Scott, manager of the company, assured the filibusters that two English men-of-war would be in the vicinity of Ensenada, skirting off the coast, when the new republic was to b< declared. As soon as the declaration of the in dependence of the new government had been proclaimed these war vessels were to enter tho harbor and recognize the nation. Scott also stated that the nu cleus of the army was already in Lower California, stored in a warehouse of the English Company at Ensenada. Three eases of rilies were shipped to Ense nada, billed to the English Company some time time ago.

Three Handretl Tlioniwud Acres Likely to Go to the Stanilurd Co. New VoitK, June 5.—Negotiations are now ponding in a transaction which may prove to be one of the most impor tant operations recorded in the history of petroleum. They have reached a stage which forbids the idea of their failure, although all the necessary de tails have not been coinulctcd. There is every prospect that at an early date the control of the four largest oil producing* companies which own ter ritory in Pennsylvania and West Virginia will pa>. iuto the hands of the Standard Trust interest. The com panies are the Forest, the Union, the Anchor and the Washington, together with the smaller interests attached to them. The amount involved in the transaction will ICEACII SKVKILVL MILLIONS of dollars, and a large proportion of the current production and of the most promising lands in the petroleum region will become the property of tin- con trolling refining company. Inquiry at tin* offices of the Standard Oil dieted an admission that negotia tions were under way, but for detailed information inquiries were referred to the other parties to the proposed bar gain. It was learned, however, that the “deal” has received the ap proval of the leadiug stockholders in the several companies, and it may be ac cepted as virtually accomplished. The terms of the purchase are withheld fr:m the public, but it is understood that good prices were paid by the Standard to complete its acquisition. It is not known just how the Standard will ar range for the control of the properties. The stocks of the company may be passed to the trust or they may be par tially or completely merged in or consol idated with other producing companies of which the charters arc in control of the Standard. It is believed that the machinery of the purchased companies will be maintained, and that the present officers and managers will develop the rnoPEirriF.s in line with the Standard's policy. A well informed man who lias no re lations with the refining interest said yesterday: “I regard this transaction as one of the best strokes the Standard ever accomplished. It not only secures to it a large proportion of the output of crude oil and some large tracts of rich territory, but it enlists in its service many of the most efficient and able ex plorers and managers of producing prop erty in the oil country*” The Union Oil Company has a capital stock of 84,000.000 ami lias recently been paying eight per cent, dividends. The capital of tlic Forrest Oil Company is 82.000. 1100.and it pays eight per cent. Tie Anchor < hi (Company has a capital of about 81,200.000 and yields six per cent, to the shareholders. The capital of the Washington Oil Company is 51.000. 000. The purchase is said to be of the capital stock of all the companies except the Anchor. The property of the latter is bought outright. The es timates place the CltolirClNo CltOI'KUTY owned, leased or controlled by the four concerns at close upon 300,000 acres. The territory is all the way from the Bradford field. in McKean county. Pa., to the fields around Pittsburg awl in the promising territory of West \ irgiuia. A rough estimate of the daily output of the companies is as follows: The Union. 2,700 barrels; Washington. 2,300; Forest. 1,000; Anchor, 1,000. Total, 7.000. Counting in the yield of some subordinate concerns, the transaction will place in the control of the Standard from S.O00 to y 000 barrels of petroleum a day. The companies absorbed are the most important in the Pennsylvania Adds. Oil Territory Involved. SprdiU Tdt'jram to tht RtghUr. l’ABKEitsitrnti. \V.

THE CONVENTION. A VERY INTERESTING DAY’S WORK YESTER DAY. Business Transacted During the Morning and Af ternoon -The Lecture by CoL Bain Last Night. I Mrs. Sallie Orr, of Honey's Point, let ! the devotional exercises at the morning ' services of the Temperance Con vent ior yesterday. Several hymns were sung and prayer was offered by Rev. F. N. Lynch : pastor of the Chapline Street M. E. church j The Secretary then read the minutes ol I Wednesday's proceedings. They were ! approved. Mrs. Johnson addressed the Convention on the subject of securing the protection ol the law for the girls and boys of the coun try. Her remarks were wise and well i timed aud were spoken with great earnest i ness. She urgod the meiut)ers of th<* L’moti to secure petitions all over the State to the | Legislature asking for a law that shall raise the age of protection from twelve to eighteen years. The Report on Railroad Work, by Mrs. M J. Raymond, of Grafton, was read by Miss Maude Montgomery of Parkersburg. The chief point in this report was a recom mendation to each uuioti in railroad towns to organize a temperance asociation on the iilan of those established by Miss Jennie Smith, the evangelist, and to appoint a competent superintendent to look after this business. After a spirited disoussiou by Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Kerr and Mrs Davis aiid Mrs. Swinbum, the report was adopted. The next report which referred to work among miners and lumbermen, was given by Mrs. E. L. Swinburn, of Charleston. She had distribut'd a great deal of litera ture among these men and had gotten min isters of various religious belief to preach sjiecial sermons to them. This report was likewise approved. In the discussion of the morning a great deal of interest in young men was mani fested. Speeches were made by Mrs. Johuson, Mrs. Isaiah Warren and others. Mrs. Warren is wide awake and enthusi astic, and her remarks elicited great ap plause. She is one of the prominent lead ers of the Wheeling Union. Mr. McKuin. of the Fourth Street Church, also spoke on the same line with much favor. This was by far the most lively discussion of the whole session. Mrs. Hartmuson, of Romney, favored the convention with a solo which was rendered in line style. She possesses a charming ' The following Is the Treasurer’s report for the current year: .... rr.su Mr'. Iluhh.ird l)u.-' POO-MM . . Slock ISW-IHBO.. Donation'. Advertiseiin-ill' in minutes.

M. Doxology. Mrs. Jennie Sisson, of Roney's Point, is the able and efficient treasurer. Mrs. Johnson said that when she was elected President there were but nineteen delegates in that convention, and the Union was £t4."> in debt. In this convention there are about fifty representatives, and the unions throughout the State are in a nour ishing condition. Valuable suggestions were made as to the means of securing sufficient money to carry on the work for another year. A discussion was had us to the amount of salary to be paid to the Pres ident and other State officers. It was finally agreed not to pay less this year than for merly. At this point Miss Jennie Smith j arose and was introduced to the convention, and proceeded to make an earnest speech which was well received by all. On motion theeonvention udjourned with the benediction by Rev. Lynch. AKTEUN'OOX SESSION. The afternoon session of the Association was oiiened with devotional exercises, hsl by Mrs. T. T. Hutchinson. Mrs. Harmi son sung a solo, anil then a very interesting drill in the Suite Constitution was had, during which some very pertinent questions were asked and answered. The remarks of the President were peculiarly into res t "Vhe ensuing half hour was taken up in reading the reports of Mrs. Maude Mont gomery, of Parkersburg, tho Correspond ing Secretary, aad of some of the Superin tendents. Mrs. Montgomery's report showed that she had accomplished a large amount of work during the past year. She gave a number of valuable suggestions. The reports from the locals were encourag ing. , , _ Mrs. Jennie Pickens, of Peel Tree, pre sented herroporton Sabbath School Work, and there was quite a discussion upon it. Mrs. Addie II. Merrick discussed the question of Scientific Temperance Instruc tion in an interesting manner, and it was attentively listened to. The discussions of the afternoon were es pecially instructive throughout, especially that upon the Constitution of the Organiza tion, the consideration of the document showing that one or two amendments were necessary, and notice of the amendments, to be maileat the next meeting, were given. One of the changes is in Article Mi , relat ing to membership. The question box, us usual, develojied an interesting discussion. Before the session closed. Rev. C. B. Graham invited the delegates to visit the glass houso and hinge factory, and the in vitation was accepted. Miss Jennie Smith urging that the delegates visit tin- works, she assuring those present the visit would rictilv repav the trouble. A vote of thanks was given the Central Glass Company and Hinge Company for the invitation, which will lie accepted at s a. m. to-day. A vote of thanks was given Misses Grace Hall aud Winnie Davis of Ritchie C. H , ! and Jennlo Rutherford, of Petroleum, for I their gift of the State Banner. KVEMNtS SKSSION. The evening session was hold In the upper apartment in the Church, and was devoted to devotional oexereites and an address by Col. George \V. lUine, of Lexington. Ky. Mr Baiue was introduced to the audience by Uev. l)r. I). A. Cunningham, who com I pared the orator of the evening as the peer of John U. Gough, the great temperance ; orator. 1 Col. Baiue proved to be a most elouuent • and convincing talker, and he was follnw | isl with the closest attention by his audi ence, which numbered about 250 or 800. At the outset he said he had devoted twenty years of his life to public work in I the temperance eause. lie had made speeches from ocean to ocean, in most or , all of the large cities, and yet he was ashamed to say it was his first visit to Wheeling. After the introduction they ' had listened to. the Colonel said he fancied the public would be surprised that Ken I tuckv should send out so glftud a temper anee’ orator, when It was noted far and wide for its whisky. “Perhaps they will I be even more surprised." said, “whey they learu I am from Bourbon county myself.” The Colonel said he desired to state, be I fore he began his argument, that he would j have no words of abuse for those who dif 1 fered with him on the temperancoquestion “Somehow." said he, "the liquor men have got the idea that the temperance people arc waging a war of hate and persecution. This is not so. The temperance cause was born 1 of love. In the beginning the temperance workers did not even refer to the liquor | men in this work, hut devoted themselves to saving drunkards. They only changed (this after thev had been attacked bv the i liquor men. Love is the foundation of the | whole work, and it is iu that spirit of love that I eoiao before you to-night, under the auspices of the \V. C. T. L., to talk upon j this great question.” He said the temperance question was be coming one of dollars and cents, and in stanced some of the incidents of the lut. campaign in Pennsylvania. There they had talked i»eaveably. but when it came tr the test thev voted against it. They woulil sav, “it's a good thing, but will it increase 'taxes?" or “it's all right, but how will ii 'afTect business'" It was a wonder to hin that peeplc would stand up and made us. of such arguments, but they did it; am while on that phase of .the question, h< wanted to call the attention o the business men to a fev ! facts. He asserted that the cause of th< 1 present disorganization in mauufacturiut ■ and commercial interests, was the woe am j infamy arising from the universal use o ' stroii)? drink. There ought not be such i ‘thing as hard times in this country, anc vet. as he went along from city to city. h< had been impressed with the fact that then was such a condition of affairs existing There were periodic conditions of intense depression, separated by brief seasons o prosperity. With all the naturalad van tares, this ought not to be. Ho said: -With our storehouses crowded wit! j poods awaitinp customers, our homes an 1 in misery for want of those poods. Witl I our banks full of money, our people art starvfnp because they cannot pet it. I wil not say there is no such thiup as over production, but over-production can not o itself account for the existinp trouble. Ii is not over-production so mueii as a waul of circulation.” He detailed a hypotheti cal case of illness arisinp from sluggish 1 ness in the blood and, applying the simile he said the trouble with our country was there was a rush of blo<xl to the head anc | no blood ut all in the extremities. “It is au insult to God to shut up out poods in our warehouses, and cry ‘over production."’ The trouble is not that. 11 is because of *5.j»>.0U),UW which last yeat • came out of the pockets of the workinp met of America for driuk. There was $«)0,ui0. (MX) in all spent in this wav last year, but I am only talking of the working man's shuts of it. They spent *>,200,000,000 in nil foi drink in the last five years. There is the seat of the trouble with America.'’ He detailed the ex|>erienoes of Joe Hess the ex-prize tighter, who being converted after s|>ci)ding a fortune in years of dissi pation, reformed, and making ?1 ,*200 u year, spent not one dollar of it for drink, to the eortvs|xmdinp benefit of his wife and chil dren, and then said: "That is the record of one man. Multi ply that case by the 000,000 drunkards in America to-day, and think what the result would be on business'.” Again he said: "Close the saloons of Wheeling for a week, and there will not be a beefsteak left in a butcher shop on Saturday night, or a loaf of bread in u bakery, while the hosan nahs of thanksgiving from wives and chil dren would make the city shake. It is a wonder to me that the business men of America, for business reasons alone, do not rise in their might and drive out this de stroying curse. Take out of this Republic every saloon and put in its place a school; blot out every distillery, and put in its place a church: blot out every brewery, aud put in its place a W C T. U. and in ten years this would Ik* the happiest and the "most prosperous country the sun ever shone on.” He said he would like to see emblazoned at Washington, on the oue hand, the senti ment. “It is the duty of government to make it easy to do right, and hard to do wrong,” and that saying of Burk’s: “What is morally wrong, can never be made legal lv right;*” and that patriotic sentiment of Henry Clay: "l would rather be right than be President,” and those words of Grant: “I propose to tight it out on this line if it takes all"—the country—“That is what he would like to sec, hut the real sentiments there displayed were very dif “In going up and down the couutry, ) have noticed it is not the capitalists who keep the saloons ruuniug, but the working men. It is the witgo-workers who keep the lights burning, the bar-tenders clothed in white, and the jewels sparkling on the fingers of the proprietors. I thank God the workingmen are awakening to this fact, and that Powderly, the head of the K. of L., has declared against the liquor traffic.” “Elevate the people of the country, and you elevate the country,” he said. "But men will say" “oh that's all right, but you can't make men sober by law.' Not nut we can stop making them drunkards by law.” Again lie said: “Let a man steal, and he is arrested: the object of the law is not to make men honest, but to protect honest men; society ought to be protected from the liquor traffic us it is protected from the operations of the thief. Instead of finding Hie United States gov ernment protecting tin1 American mother, wefiml the Supreme Court giving a decis ion in the original package matter. He was not prepared to argue against that de eision on legal grounds, but a bigger out rage in its practical workings has never been perpetrated. This question must be taken squarely into National polities, und there settled." “But people say: ‘This is a free coun try, if a man wants to drink let him drink and take the consequences.’ Yes; but the trouble about that is, some one else has to take the consequences. The man takes the drink, und bis wife and children take the consequences. The consequences fall on the home all the time." “I am tired of bearing of such platitudes as, ’The baud that rucks the cradle rules the world.’ If the hand that rocked the cradle really ruled tke world, there wouldn't Ik- 'JOO.OOO rum holes in ex istence in America to-night.” "A good deal of talk is being heard just now." he said, “about woman being out of her spliere, etc. I am not as much discouraged about the future of women as 1 am about the future of men. The saloons are full of men and the churches full of women. Our schools graduate three girls to one boy.” The speaker said some folks might urge he was a croaker, and that ho looked only on the dark side. He would admit then* was a bright side he could, Southern man that he was, make a Fourth of July siieech. He could let the eagle scream and the star spangled banner wave, but he thought he was doing a nobler duty in giving men a chance to see the dark side. One man had said he didn't take much stock in the speaker because he had been disloyal dur ing the war. Paul, likewise, hail been a pagan before he was converted to Chris tianity. .“The South has been lately" twitted about flaunting the emblems of the dead Con federaey. I will say for the New South, and in its name, that it doesn't want any j more stars and bars. The star-spangled banner is good enough for us. Let the acad past bury its dead. The speaker drew a picture of Congress unanimously voting appropriations to send committees to investigate the foot and mouth diseases in Illinois, und the seven year grasshomiers in Kansas, and one thing and another in various parts of the coun try, hut when the largest petition ever pre sented to Congress asked for aii investiga tion as to the effects of liquors, they said “no,” and voted it down to a man So in 4ticiiational platforms; plunks wore put in ; for this thing and for that interest, but when a delegation of Christians prayed for a temperance plank they got a fiat re fusal, ana they found this petition on the floor of the committee room, covered with tobacco Juice. He said the remedy for this sort of treatment was for the temperance people to go to the polls and vote their sen timents. As suuu as they do that, they'll j get something. He was opposed to high license and local option, and said such things put him In mind of the story of the snakes in the box The box bad twenty-five augur holes in it, thruugh which the snakes came out; that I was low license; then the man stopped up | fifteen holes, and that was high license. I Then he put them In another man's lot, and j that was local option; but that man killed | them, und that was prohibition. I He referred to the objection that prohi bition wasju advance of public sentiment, j and said the same objection might have been raised against the laws of Moses or ' the religion of Christ. I His speech throughout was eloquent, and was very frequently applauded. IMPORTATION OF CATTLE. Mr. Chapllu Asked to Modify the Keitrle tlou. Lun*i»on', Juno —A doputatioii^frum Scotland visited Mr. Chaplin, Min ister of Agriculture, to-day, and asked him to modify the re striction against the importation of American cattle. The chief argu ments of the deputation in supfairt of their request was the scarcity of store cattle in (Jreat Britain and the absence of pleuro-paeumonia in American. In reply to the request, Mr. Chaplin said that the bulk of the farmers of itreat Britain favored restriction. He was unable, lie declared, to hold out the slightest hope of any modification of tlio present regulations governing the Importation of eattle, even if rattle in America were entirely free from the disease.
