Charges of Waste and Theft Made
Against Officials
THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
The Senator's illness Kept Him From
Mating Things Lively.
A BLOW AT BEATER'S MILITABI PRIDE
State Senator J. S. Rutan is recovering
his health slowly. A Dispatch reporter
called upon him last evening. The Senator
is suffering from a severe attack of rheu
matism, and he experiences considerable
pain in his arms and shoulders. Dr. Flem
ing assures him that his chances of recovery
are very good, and the Senator also feels
that, though he has been a sick man all win
ter, he is growing stronger every day.
His old friend, Senator Quay, is anxious
to have him go back to the springs at Carls
bad, in Bohemia, and take another course
of treatment; but Mr. Rutan does not care
to go. He says he has been in Europe five
times and he would rather remain at home.
The dootor has forbidden him to excite
himself; but the Senator is a very genial
man and likes to talk. Unknown to the
phvsjcian his friends have been calling on
him frequently, and he enjoys their com
pany. The Senator was anxious te set at rest
certain political rumors about hfmself, as
well as to speak of some of the things he
intended to do the past winter if he had not
been taken ill.
JUST WHAT HE WANTS.
Senator Quay has written to him often to
say that he could have any office he wanted
that Quay could get; but Senator
Rutan says he doesn't want the. posi
tions. His only desire is to be
re-elected to the State Senate, because there
are two United States Senators to be voted
for. The Commissionership of Customs was
offered him, but the salary is not large
enough to pay him, and he has no desire to
live in "Washington. He could have had,
also, the Collectorship of the Port in Pitts
burg, but he doesn't want it.
"Now," said the Senator, having made
these general statements, "'I wish to show
how $250,000, at least, of the State's funds
are wasted or stolen, every year. If I
hadn't been sick this winter, there are a
number of evils I would have bad investi
gated. I intended to begin with the loss of
the revenue bill, two years ago. Not long
ago Governor Beaver boasted, so I am told,
that he would have vetoed that bill any
how, even if the President of the Senate had
signed it. At the opening of the ses
sion my plan was to introduce
a resolution by which all the appropriation
bills should be returned to the Senate from
the Governor 13 days before the session
closed, so that vetoed bills could have been
passed over his head, if necessary. As it is,
,the-Senate is at the mercy of the Governor
and he can dictate as he releases.
"I am positive the Governor was respon
sible for the failure of the revenue bill. The
very fact that he discharged his tfwn clerk
who should have attended to it, six months
afterward, indicates that
SOMETHING WAS WEOKQ.
','It is strange, too, that such an important
bill should lie on the Governor's table for
ten day's "before it was discovered. The
Governor exenses himself by saying that he
was busy examining into the merits of ap
propriation bills that he began to veto as
soon as he found out the Revenue bill would
sot become a law. In fact, he cut off$l,000,
000 in appropriations because the bill had
failed. He reduced the appropriation for
the Alleghenv Home for Colored Children
52,500; cut of $25,000 for the Allegheny
Hospital, and, in a similar manner, shaved
down the money that should have gone to
support insane asylums, hospitals, schools,
etc., throughout the State. At the
came time he gave the State
Agricultural College, near Bellefonte,
(his own school), $112,000. An expert edu
cator told me that boys could be educated
in Germany or at Edinburgh for less money
than the State pays to this school.
"The secret of the Governor's activity in
cutting down the legitimate appropriations
to charitable institutions in the State
is his great anxietv to par more
ofthe State debt than Pattison did. The
law requires that $250,000 is to be paid on
the debt every year; but Beaver has already
paid $1,200,000. while the hospitals, etc.,
have; had to suffer. The moneys in the
sinking fund and the annnal revenues are
sufficient to pay off the debt in a short time,
without resorting to such a policy of cut
ting appropriations. Continuing, Senator
Rutan said:
DRAWING COMPAEISONS.
1 must .say that Governor Pattison was
an honest man, and he gave the
people a clean administration. He
and his private Secretary did all the work in
his office, which Governor Beaver has six
clerks attend to for him. In fact, it didn't
take me long to discover that
the State is paying some clerks, who never do
anything but draw their salaries. There are a
lot of them kept on the rolls, and the number
is increasing every year. There is one in the
Internal Revenue Department who boasts that
be doesnt do a tap of work, and yet it
was not long ago that they tried to
have two more clerks appointed to collect sta
tistics. I protected, and the two clerks never
got tne positions.
Bat it is surprising how many employes there
are about the Senate and House,, drawing
salaries for doing nothing. I find they are the
particular friends of Senators and members, and
in one instance I was surprised to find that
one, influential representative, who, I thought,
was' an honest man, had secured his son one of
these perfunctory positions, and he was draw
ing bis pay right along, as large as life, and ren
dering no work in return for it.
Toward the close of the Legislature the Sen
ators and members work into the General Ap
propriation bill cunningly devised provisions
to pay for these useless clerkships. One of the
charges made against Sam Losch was that be
distributed 10.000 of a contingent fund among
these pets.
I know Russel Errctt is too honest to do any
thing of that kind, andr;l posted
Chief Clerk Morrison to look out for "snakes"
on bis side ot the House. These people know
that plan can't be worked this time, and I am
interested to know how they will manage it
now to provide for their friends.
HEADED HIM OFF.
When Governor Beaver found out that I
was hunting up the contracts he signed to have
25,000 spent on the Executive Mansion, mak-
ing a veritable palace out of it, before the
money was appropriated for the purpose, he
referred to it in bis message to bead me off,
f and explained that he bad done it thought
lessly; yet other hills of more importance were
vc'toed without mercy.
Another evil l would like to see corrected is
this thing of spending money to keep up a
btandinr armv in the State. Bunr and
EL Hastings are soldiers, and there is nothing that
K7 tickles their Tsnftv en Tnnnl.
I.1- ride at the head of the Pennsyl-
xm troops ai inaugurations ana
centennials. This State was founded by
-"William Penn, a peaceful man, and we ought
to be ashamed of the boast that . 'na r,
standing army in the State of Pennsylvania
wub, uviuuut weaver, in two years, nas
era
REFURMS
already spent $500,000 on the militia, against
124,000 expended by Governor Pattison. If
there is a blowout in any part of the State, and
a request to,havo the troops turn out is sent to
the Governor, the order is issued at once, and
the expense is not considered.
It is the correction of .such abuses and the
extravagant waste of the people's money that
I am so anxious about.
Two years ago Quay told me that
he wanted the next Legislature reorgan
ized, and that the clerks who had be
come at least extravagant must go.
He asked me to do the work for him, and I
consented. I pleaded for "Tommy" Cochran,
whose appointment I had secured: but Quay
was inexorable. I didn't know "Tommy' as
well then as I do now.
r HAD TO BE DECAPITATED.
Quay was particular to speak of State Li
brarian Delaney, whose head must come oS at
all hazards. When I returned from Europe
andwentintothe national headquarters in New
York, the first man I met was Delaney. It made
me very angry to see him around there, and
when I asked Quay for an explanation he said
that Delaney had offered his services at a criti
cal moment, and, knowing that he was a mem
ber of all the high societies in the county, he
concluded that he could utilize him. To show
some sense of gratitude for his work, Quay had
him appointed Senate Librarian at the first of
the vear.
Well, I went to work to hunt np Delaney's
record. I bad collected a mass of testimony to
be presented to a Senate investigating com
mittee, when I was stricken down. I found
that Belaney, in 1879, bad secured the passage
of a clever bill, by which he knew who got the
contract to supply the House. Senate and depart
ments with stationery. Every member is
allowed by law $50 for stationery, when, in
reality, the man in charge never furnished
them with more than from 5 to 10
worth, and somebody pocketed the. bal
ance of tne money. Chief Clerk
Cochran, for a time, signed the vouchers, and
Delaney had them cashed; but very often I
found, upon investigation, that Cochran was
absent, and Delaney signed. In many Instances
somebody was thus making 100 per
cent profit, and in one case, station
ery that cost $3,000, by passing through a
number of 'hands and each one tacking
on his share, was finally sold to tne State for
$23,000.
1 was told by reliable men, whom I can pro
duce before a committee at any time, that
when the purchaser bought fine chairs for the
Senate he duplicated them and supplied him
self and friends. Tommy" Cochran, lsoon
discovered, "stood in."
WHAT SALABIES DID THET GET?
Both of these men to-day are wealthy. A
gentleman informed me not long ago that De
laney owned the finest diamonds in the State.
Last summer the interior of the Senate was
refitted. Delaney furnished the curtains that
are supposed to be made of costly material; at
least a handsome price was paid for them. On
examination I soon learned that the material
in places is of inferior quality. Somebody, I
understand, made a deal with one of John
"Wanamaker's men.
At the opening of the session 1 had mapped
out my work, and I intended to name a com
mittee, composed of men like Wherry, of Cum
berland; Ross, of Bucks county, and some other
honest people to investigate the evils
which I have pointed out. I have lived in
hopes of becoming well enough to prosecute
the work; but sickness interfered. Occasion
ally I would speak to the reporters of what I
intended to do, but never before in such
detail. These things have been weighing
on my mind all winter, and I am anxious to
have the Senators and people know them. If
I were only well, I would like to be in Harris
burg long enough to have the loss of the
Revenue bill investigated; but when I
spoke to some of my colleagues about it, they
said: "Better leave it pass;" but I have no such
intention. 1 want, these men, from the Gov
ernor down, investigated. What I have said I
am ready to prove at any time, before a com
mittee. Senator Rutan also furnished some confi
dential "inside" iacts about State politics
that may be published at some other time.
He is "fbrninst" Delamatcr for Governor,
and he says "He will never get there. His
weight is too light, and he is laughed at in
the Senate by his fellows."

BRUTALLY BEATEN.
Tin Wife of an OH Driller Near Stoop's
Perry ! Almost Killed by One Who
Should Be: Her Protector.
Yesterday morning a resident of Stoop's
Ferry,on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Rail
way, who has had tronble with his wife
from time to time, assaulted her as alleged,
on the highway near Coraopolis, where she
had made an information against him for
misconduct of some kind, and knocked her
down with a club. He then attempted to
finish his work with a stone, catting severe
gashes on her head and face. '
Fortunately a man named Amos Higler
saw the occurrence and ran to the spot and
forced Shriver to desist Higler had the
woman removed to the residence of a man
named Braden and then forced Shriver to a
magistrate's office and had him committed
to jail to await the result of the woman's
injnries, which, as some thought, might
prove fatal.
Shriver is a well driller. It is said that
he acts insanely at times. The neighbor
hood was considerably stirred up over the
affair.
It was stated that the husband and wife
had been piling np informations against
each other for some time; but there was so
much rumor as to the cause of the assault
that it was difficult to ascertain the exact
facts.
SHOOTING A LITTLE GIRL.
Two Boys Almost Kill n Child Just for
Fan, It Is Alleged.
The 7-year-old daughter of John Renfer,
a dairyman at Evergreen hamlet, near Al
legheny, was shot yesterday by a boy who
lives on the Rorthside. Two lads, whose
names were not learned, had been out in the
woods shooting birds with a Flobert rifle.
About 11 o'clock they saw the little girl
crossing the field, and one of them said to
the other who held the gun:
"You are afraid to shoot her."
The boy immediately proved that he was
not, and, raising the gun, pulled the
trigger. The ball entered the girl's left
arm, and made a painful but not serious
wound.
The boys at once ran away, and there is
no clew to their identity except that they
are about 15 years of age and live in Alle
gheny. Mr. Renfer reported the matter to Chief
of Police Kirschler, and the detectives are
investigating the case.

HOW EXTREMES MET.
A Very Nice Eiemjjlffication of Capi
tal and Labor's Union.
SPLENDID SILVER SET. PRESENTED
At Lower Oliver MiUs, Drawing Messrs.
Harris and Oliver Ont.
SPLIT IN THE AMALGAMATED RANKS
A most agreeable meeting took place last
evening in Superior Hal, "Wood's Bun, on
the occasion of the presentatfon to Mr.
David Harris, late assistant manager in
Oliver Bros. & Phillips' lower mills, of a
splendid solid silver tea service.
Mr. Harris has been with this firm for
many years, and the employes prepared this
testimonial,' suitably inscribed, on the occa
sion of his leaving them to enter into part
nership with Messrs. Baldwin and Graham,
the extensive stove manufacturers.
Mr. Eichard Millard presided, andjhe
nlate was presented to Mr. Harris in a neat
speech by Joseph Goode, and responded to
by Mr. David Harris at some length. In
the course ot his remarks, after giving his
views aato the relations that should exist
between capital and labor, referring to his
past course in his dealings with the men, he
said:
In standing, as It were, between .the capitalist
and the laborer, we havejalways endeavored in
our humble way to keep in our mind's eye that
simple yet sterling motto, "Dare to do right"
and as to how far we have acted on that prin
ciple, you, fellow workmon, are thobest judges.
Our connection with the work in which we
have Deen for more than a decade so agreeably
and harmoniously toiling together has been
severed. 'We emphasize the term harmoni
ously, for your humble servant can truly say
that during that long period, not one insulting
remark was ever burled into his face when oc
casions would arise where he would deem it
necessary to point out a wrong-doing, and at
which time he would deem it fitting to make
use of some plain talk, and perhaps would
sometimes forcibly emphasize such remarks.
Yet not one unpleasantness has grown out of
such gentle chiding.
ME. OLXVEE SPEAKS.
Mr. David B. Oliver.made a short speech,
in which, referring to the relations that
should exist between employer and em
ploye, he used the following: ,
It may not be amiss right here for me to say
a word on the vexed question of Capital and
Labor. It is a most important question, and
here, in this great manufacturing community,
it is next to impossible to find any person,tnan,
woman or child, that is not directly 'interested,
in Borne form or manner, in its settlement
Political economists have given ns no end of
dissertations, deep.thoughtful and well studied
out on the subject; learned men have thrown
what light philosophy can afford on the ques
tion, but I humbly confess that to my
mind, tbe aucstlon is, as tor as they are con
cerned, as far from a satisfactory settlement as
ever. Co-operation in tbe ownership and shar
ing in the profits have been tried, with appar
ent success; but tbe case is not met because,
when a workman becomes an owner, he be
comes to that extent a capitalist and, as far as
his interests are concerned, the question is set
tled for him. But all workmen are not able to
become owners. Sharing in tbe profits is.very
well as long as there are profits in which to
share; but we all know that the exigencies of
manufacturing often bring around a succession
of years in which there' are nO profits; and,
meanwhile, how is the profit-sharer to live.
THE BEAL BEMEDY.
Where, then, you say, is tbe remedy? I bold
ly say I think. I know where it is to be found.
It is, if anywhere on this green earth, in the
Golden Rule, the rule given by our Lord "As
ye would that men should do unto you, do ye
also unto them." This principle, gentlemen,
in my opinion, if applied in an honest Christian
spirit to the settlement of disputes, that must
arise, as long aS human nature remains as we
now find it between man and man or capital
and labor, will settle them, and will make set
tlements that will last In all my experience
in these disputes and I have known a great
many I can truly say that I have never known
one that tbe application of this principle by
both parties would, not have settled, and set
tled, amicably, honorably and .to the lasting
satisfaction of all concerned. "
As a present proof of what I say. and of the
satisfactory working of this principle (for
worklngmen of all others want things that will
work, I will refer to Mr. Harris and bis modes
and ways of dealing with men under blm; of all
the men with whom I have ever been brought
Into contact I can recall no one who, more
than he, made this golden rule the measure of
intercourse with tbe men under him. I think
he never lost sight of tbe question in his own
mind : "How would I like to be treated If I
were in this man's place." The result of this is
seen here to-night in this spontaneous exhibi
tion of respectful and most honorable feeling,
taking shape in this costly and beautiful testi
monial. A humorous song from Beese Jones
brought the house down; speeches were
made by Mr. William Martin, Secretary of
the Amalgamated Association, and, with
music by the "Woods Bun Band, the even
ing passed most pleasantly.
A STEEL CONCERN CONDEMNED
By the Central Trades Assembly for Bring
ing Pinkerton Men Here.
A regular meeting of the Trades Assem
bly was held last night with Joseph L.
Evans in the chair. The importation of
Belgian glassworkers was discussed at
length, and the matter was referred to the
Executive Board. A committee of three
were' appointed to draw up a set of resolu
tions on the unfair measures taken by the
Duquesne Iron and Steel Company, and re
ported the following resolutions, which were
adopted as read:
Whereas, The Central Trades Council has
learned that 'the corporation known as tbe
Duquesne Iron and Steel Company has im
ported Pinkerton detectives to coerce the
striking employes at their works
Besolved, That we condemn the action of
said corporation for importing paid detectives
who make a living by inciting men who have
not manhood enough to resist the encroach
ments of organized capital.
Besolved, That we at all times sympathize
with the worklngmen, whether organized or
not, when they have justice on their side, as
we believe tbe men now striking at tho Du
quesne Company have.
Besolved, That we extend to the strikers the
moral support and sympathy ot vthis organiza
tion in tne struggle now going on.
A C0KK WORKER BUEIED.
Member of L. A. 9S63 Torn Out to Fay
Their Last Respects.
The funeral of John Biley, formerly fore
man at Armstrong Bros. & Company's Cork
"Works, and who died at Aiken, S. C,
Tuesday last, took place yesterday after
noon, from his late residence on "Webster
avenue. The deceased was a member of
Cork Workers Assembly, No. 98(53, and
nearly every member of the assembly turned
out to pay their last respects.
The deceased had only been in Aiken five
weeks when he died. He was afflicted with
consumption and went there at the earnest
solicitation of his employers.
L. A. 9863 will meet and pass appropri
ate resolutions upon Mr. Riley's death.
THOSE IMPORTED GLASSWORKERS.
A Statement That It Was no Violation ofthe
Contract Labor Law.
It is claimed that the importation of win
dow glass workers to this country is not a
violation of the law, as they were brought
here to fill vacancies that could not be filled
here..
It Is also stated that' all the members of
tbe Window Glass Workers' -Association
knew that 26 glassworkers were coming to
this country) and also that more are' on
their way.
President Campbell will remain in office,
bnt will likely be granted a vacation this
summer, to take a much-needed rest.
Labor Notes.
The trouble between the K. of L. and SsUer
& Co. and L Jackson & Bro., has been satis
factorily settled. These stores have agreed to
close their stores at 6 o'clock.
The 750 employes of Armstrong Bros., pro
prietors of the coke factory, met Yesterday af
ternoon and passed appropriate resolutions on
the death of the late foreman, John A. Biley.
MAI BE A SPLIT.
A Nnmber of Workers Threnten to Leave the
Amalgamated Association The Rongb
ers and Catchers Want nn Advance.
There is an indication of a split in the
Amalgamated Association which may divide
that organization in two parts and. cripple
it. The annual wage scale, which is revised
every June, has not always been satisfactory
to the puddlers. These men have repeatedly
claimed that they do net receive enough of
money for the work they do, but as they
have been in the minority on the scale com
mittee, have had but little to say.
The puddlers formerly belonged to the
Sons of "Vulcan, but when the Amalgamated
Association was formed on Augnst 4, 1874,
they joined. Many of them have been dis
satisfied since that time, and threats to
withdraw from the organization have often
occurred. Delegates to the next convention,
at which a scale will be prepared, are now
being elected by the different lodges.
The puddlers want a larger representation
in the convention, and the rough era and
catchers who belong to the association want
some of their members elected, bnt Presi
dent Weihe, they claim, has ruled that no
man who isnot paid by the firm operating
the' mill in which they are employed can
take a seat in the convention. '
The ronghers and catchers are members of
the association, bnt they are paid for their
work by the heaters. The heater is paid by
the roller. In the majority of the mills the
roller gets $28, and ot this amount pays the
heaterhalf. The heater retains 57 and tbe
other $7 is divided between the rougher and
the catcher. The latter Class of workmen
do almost all of the -rork, and believe they
are entitled to more money. The Amalga
mated scale only fixes the pay of the roller,
and he is compelled to pay his help ont of
his allowance.
As has been stated the ronghers and
catchers are holding meetings and protest
ing against this unjnst division of the
money paid. The resnlt will not affect the
manufacturers, hut if the men do not secure
what they desire they threaten to secede.
At a recent meeting at which representa
tives were present from all parts of
this State, Ohio and West Vir
ginia, a Committee on Besolutions
was appointed with instructions to report at
the next meeting, which will be held next
Snnday at Salisbury hall. This committee
met yesterday afternoon and drew np a
resolution asking for. a 20 percent advance
in wages. This advance, as stated, will
come out ofthe heaters' wages,and the man
ufacturers will not suffer. One ofthe men
said last night: '
We do almost all the work.and are entitled
to more money. Tbe puddlers have agreed to
stand by us and aid us if possible in securing a
more equitable rate of wages. II we fail we
will all, the puddlers included, withdraw from
tbe Amalgamated Association and form an or
ganization of our own. We have the bard
work to da and wear out our clothes and shoes,
while the roller does nothing but give instruc
tions and is responsible for our work. We have
demanded a 20 per cent advance, and the mat
ter will be considered at our convention next
Sunday.
ONLY TWO MEN STRUCK, - .
Bat They Tied Up nn Incline and Caused a
Peck of Tronble.
The residents of the hill at the head of
the South Twenty-second street incline who
went to market last night were badly dis
appointed, because they were obliged to
carry their baskets up the hill. The in
cline was not running because the engin
eers had resigned their positions.
When the Twenty-second street incline
was built, Judge Mellon employed Charles
Slater and John Brown, two expert en
gineers, at Mt Pleasant Everything
moved along smoothly until recently, when
the men notified Mr. Mellon that they in
tended to qnit Arrangements were then
made by which they were to continue in
his service until other competent men
could be secured; but they left Friday
night.
The incline was run yesterday by inex
perienced engineers, but it was thought
best not to attempt to run It at night. No
one could be found last night who could
tell why Slater and Brown quit, they hav
ing left the' city.
HULL IRON TRADE EAST.
Hudson Blver and Lnke Clmmplaln Fur
naces Are Shut Down.
Jacob Beese retnrned yesterday from a
business trip to the East He says the iron
trade is very dull. Three-fourths of the
furnaces along the Hudson river and on
Lake Champlain are idle, with no prospects
of starting soon.
The trouble is, Mr. Beese says, that the
Eastern market is flooded with Southern
pig iron, and the New Yorkers are unabls
to compete with them. Mr. Beese added
that this competition would be kept np until
steel plants were started in the South.
A TERRIBLE CUT.
The Beilaire Nailers Agree to Accept a 33
Per Cent Redaction.
The nailers at the Beilaire works, which
has been closed down over 11 months, have
about concluded to accept a reduction of 35
per cent, cutting hot nails for 13 cents, and
cold for 12 cents.
This is a terrible cut, bnt the men are in
bad shape and willing to accept almost any
thing. It is freely predicted that this cnt at
Beilaire will result in a like reduction all
along the line.
Tbe Tronble at Duqnesne.
The attorneys for the Allegheny Bessemer
Steel Company, Messrs. Johnston and
Dickey, yesterday filed a petition in Com
mon Pleas Court, asking for a preliminary
injunction to restrain 55 workmen, 'formerly
employed, from interfering with the opera
tion of the mill. These men struck on April
16, and it is claimed 'that they are intimi
dating men who want to work. A prelimi
nary injunction was granted, and a hearing
Vill be held on Monaay.
A BUTCHER IN WAR POINT.
He Will Sue tho City If He Loses a Horse,
ns He Expects.
A butcher named Denholm, in the East
End, has put on a coat of war paint and
proposes to make the 'city take a little dance
all to itsself. Mr. Denholm says a leak in
a water main on Frankstown a Venue, near
Dallas avenue, so saturated the ground that
one of his horses was mired and was rescued
in a damaged condition, being almost suffo
cated ere it was extricated.
Mr. Denholm says he has repeatedly
notified the authorities, but to no purpose,
so that in case he meets with loss be is
certain to salivate the municipality.
The Officer Moved Blm.
Samuel Kline was arrested in the South-
side market last night and locked up in the
Twenty-eighth ward station house for vio
lating a city ordinance. He had a jewelry
stand on the pavement in front of ihe mar
ket, and refused to leave when ordered to
do so by the officer.

Aufrecht, the popular photographer, is

FEOM A LEGAL POINT.
An Attorney Discusses Prohibition
From a Legal Standpoint, at
SLATER'S EINK, HT. WASHINGTON.
The Yery Interesting Arguments of
HarveT Henderson, Esq.
OTHER SHORT ADDRESSES ARE MADE
A Constitutional amendment meeting was
held last evening in Slater's Bink, Mt
Washington. The attendance was not very
large, and the speakers were interrupted
several times by the noisy applauding of a
number of boys. Meetings are to be held
regularly in this rink until after next June.
Harvey Henderson, E&q., discussed the
question from a legal standpoint last even
ing. His arguments are but rarely touched
upon in the debate on this question, and
were forcibly given.
The speaker stated that in the first laws
ever made for this State, which were known
as the Dnke of York's laws, issued in 1664,
that the sale of liqnor in the Commonwealth
wonld only be permitted after a license was
obtained by the king. Ever since that
date the Government has legislated upon
the liqnor traffic in some form or other up to
the present time. Continuing, the speaker
said:
PRACTICAL PROHIBITION NOW.
The present Brooks law permits about 800
licenses to be issued in Allegheny county.
There are certain conditions in these licenses
which liquor sellers must obey. They cannot
sell to minors or on the Sabbath day. They do
not object to these conditions, but acknowledge
that the traffic must be regulated by law. Out
side of these 800 men the county has practical
prohibition. Every man is not permitted to
sell liquor. Ho will be prosecnted if he is dis
covered doing so without a license. Now what
we want is to legislate 'out of existence this
favored 800, who enjoy a monopoly of business.
A monopoly is created by these laws which is
an outrage on the rights of American citizen
ship. Personal liDerty is a strong argument used by
the liquor dealers. Man owes his existence and
his sustenance to society and therefore owes
society a duty. He cannot do as he pleases in
many cases. If he attempts it he will be
checked by the law. Then why is it that this
cry of personal liberty is made only In the
practice of drinking intoxicating liquors and
not in other cases where his supposed rights
are imposed upon.
EAST TO SELI. OUT IN A TEAR.
Anotner argument used is who shall compen
sate the liquor dealer and maker! Tbe former
possesses, perhaps, only a few Darrels of liquor,
and he can sell that off before the amendment
becomes a law, which It is not likely to do, if
adopted, until May 1, 1890.
The dealers will lose all, but never in the his
tory of this State bas a man been compensated
for the loss of his property when a law bas been
made whereby his business is destroyed. A
man owns a soap factory in the heart of the
city. The law says be must remove It He re
ceives no compensation. Two years ago tbe
manufacture of oleomargarine was declared il
legal. Tbe State did not pay the manufactur
ers for their losses.
The brewers will not lose much. Water 'is
cheap, and this, in connection with a few in-
Eredients, formed their stock in trade. The
quor they sold at an enormous profit
Major Samuel Harper was ill, and Elder
Joseph Cheaney, of Texas, and others made
a few remarks upon the liquor traffic and its
results. '
SPOKE TO THE WORKINGMEN.
A Temperance Orator Paints oat the Differ
ence Between Classes.
About 200 people, mostly men, attended
the meeting in Salisbury Hall last night, in
the interest of the prohibition amendment
John W. Moreland called the meeting and
made the opening address, pointing ont the
benefits of temperance. He then introduced
Mr. Walter T. Mills, editor of the
Statesman, of Chicago.
Mr. Mills' spoke for an hour, and ad
dressed his remarks chiefly to the working
men. He endeavored to show by illustra
tions that the sober man was of greater im
portance to a community than the man who
spent his earnings for liquor. Tbe sober
man's money, spent for the legitimate neces
sities of life, keeps money in circulation
and gives more employment to men to sup
ply the demands of the consumers. The
family of the sober man wears better cloth
ing, eats better food and decorates his honse
better, thereby giving somebody more em

All Records of Previous Busy Days Broken
Yesterday.
Were you at Kaufmanns' yesterday? Did
you see the rush, the crash, the jam? Did
you see the mighty tide of humanity that
flowed to and from the mammoth building,
from 8 o'clock in the morning until 11
o'clock at night? If you did not you have
missed one olthegreatest sights of your life,
and one that you would not likely have for
gotten soon. True, Kaufmanns' great store
has held many big crowds before, bnt all
previous instances of this nature sink into
insignificance when compared with the un
paralleled rush of yesterday. It seemed as
though every man and boy in the two cities
was bound to sport a new suit for Easter
Sunday. Bnt It was not only the suit de
partment that, was crowded. The shoe, hat,
furnishing goods and cloak departments
were all packed with eager and anxious pur
chasers. In the evening the rush became so
overwhelmingly great that the several hun
dred salesmen on dnty were inadequate to
wait on all customers promptly, and every
cutter, tailor, porter and errand boy of the
house had to be pressed into service. Even
the bookkeepers and correspondents had to
leave their desks and satisfy the cravings of
the bargain clamoring masses. Many old
merchants doing business on Fifth avenue
and Smithfield street came around during
the day, and all confessed to never having
seen such a phenomenal business.
