THE UNDERWOOD BIL,
Bat Five Damocrats Oppose Tariff Meas
ure In Hous*—The Senate should Act
at Unoe,
Five Democrats voted against the
Uuvnderwood tariff revision bill and
seven Republicans voted for it. This
shows more Republicans wh believe
the legislatiov is right than Demo-
crats who believe it is wrong. 'The
Baltimore convention last summer
made a solemn pledge to the people
that if the Democratic party were
entrusted with power it would read-
just the schedule, and the Lower
House of Congress has fulfilled the
pledge. The bill i now up to the
Benate and it will do likewise,
There is no reason for the country
to look upon this work with distrust,
for Congress is simply carrying out
the instructions voted by the people
To have followed any other course
would have been in violation of the
popular demand that the change be

Rev. Keller, of Philipsburg, and
Rev. J. F. B. Grelsemer, of Freeburg,
have been highly commended by the
local papers in their respective home
towns for their fearlessness in attack-
ing evils. Rev. Keller is a Lutheran
minister, and Rev. Greisemer preaches
the Reformed doctrine, but they both
hate the present day evils. The
Freeburg minister, after cleaning up
the rum traffic, was hailed in the
vestibule of his church by a delegation
of church officers who demanded that
he compromise his remarks and in the
future be more temperate in the die-
cussion of the question. The Middle-
burg Post refers to the incident in this
manner :
The delegation was composed of a
man who several years ago converted
his inheritance, the far famed Free-
burg musical college, into a tavern;
a traveling agent for large brewery

He was a veleran of the civil war,
serving in Company C, 107ih Penusyl-

Gettysburg, a large piece of the skull
being shot away. The pulsations of
