lie NUMBER 72. PHILADELPHIA. FBIDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, 1875. TWO CENTS. SUMMARY OP THE NEWS.

KENO!" THE SIOUX CHIEFS. THE COAL REGIOX. LAWLESSNESS IN SCHUYLKILL COUNTY. would pay a fair average of the highest wages paid by any of them. The men declared they could not support their families under the 1874 prices, but that they would consider his proposition, and report to his office next Saturday.

According to the schedule of prices offered to the men, it is evident that Mr. Ear rish's offer is a very fair one, and in fact is from 10 to 15 per cent, better than the Delaware and Hudson and other companies, for outside labor, and within 1 or 2 per cent, of others on coal cutting. It is very probable that the men will accept the offer, and go to work within a few weeks. Mr. Parrish offered them work until the 1st of January, should they accept his terms at once.

Incendiary Fire Near Mount Carmol. Mount Carmel, June 3. William Schwenck it colliery, near Mount Carmel, was nearly entirely destroyed by fire this evening. It was fired by a mob of nearly a hundred. The loss is not knowii.

They had worked two days at the reduced price3. house he wrung the necks off both birds." Here a silence ensued, as if the officer was expected to continue his story, but had volunteered nothing further. The prosecuting attorney finally asked: "What became of the chickens?" "They were hung up at the station house until they began to smell bad, when, no one having claimed them, they were thrown away." At this an audible smile passed over the entire audience, and our young limb of the law, who was up to his ears in the'business of picking his teeth, twirling his watch chain and admiring his new low cut shoes with striped stockings, murmured, "too thin," and resumed Ins all absorbing occupation. It was thought that the judicial countenance of Judge Briggs was for an instant disturbed by an embryonic smile, but, as this is a serious suggestion and involved in some doubt, the faithful and conscientious chronicler would feel a delicacy in vouching for its accuracy. At all events, this closed the case of the prosecution, and the jury, after some deliberation among themselves, failed to come to a conclusion, and suddenly recollected that David Smith was on trial and should be heard.

In truth this individual had not hitherto been in the least noticed, und when, at the intimation of the jury, a tip staff was directed to bring him forward, poor old Dave, a dirty, dilapidated, diminutive octogenarian, whose entire wardrobe would not bring a nickle at a second hand shop, emerged from the dock, and, after clearing his throat, in an apologetic manner proceeded to inform the jury that the affection of the chickens for him was a mystery, as no living thing had loved him for forty odd years, and how they ever got between his shirt and coat was one of those tilings no fellow can find out, and he added that the story of his wringing their necks as he neared tiie station house, he had every reason to disbelieve, as that was a feat of prestidigitation of which he was incapable, in view of the fact that the policeman, armed cap a pie, held one of his arms during their companionable stroll. Aud then deliberation was had and the jury said not guilty." Another aggregate smile, in which Dave heartily joined, and at 3 o'clock he was a free man.

Marshall Jewell, Postmaster General. The last telegram indicates the nature of the proposition made by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Heretofore the western mails havebeen cutolfat Washington and transferred to the postal cars which go out on the Baltimore and Ohio road. If they were still cut on" here under the order for carrying the mails over the Baltimore and Potomac road it would necessitate a transfer to the depot of the latter.

Councils Take Up the Gauntlet Oast Down by the Union League Glenn Carries it OS to His Arbor in Triumph Bunn and Marks crowned as Victors. Yesterday the feature" in Common Council was the springing of the election of Bunn and Marks to the Guardianship of the Poor, notwithstanding the indignant protest of the Union League some weeks ago against the consummation of their caucus nomination. Mr.

Glenn was the spokesman of his party, and nominated William A. Durfur, William N. Marks and William M. Bunn, while Mr. Marcus, of tho Democrats, nominated Capt.

T. Mealey. Mr. Caven moved that the election be postponed until the last Thursday of this month. Mr.

Glenn made a point of order that as the convention met for this purpose there could be no adjournment which the chair (Mr. Downing) overruled. I think," said Mr. Caven, that it is but right and proper this election should be postponed. There has been a desire expressed to have some of tho nominations remodeled, and it is but proper that this public sentiment should recognized.

As these Guardians of the Poor do not take their seats until the 1st of July, no harm will be done by the postponement jmd there is no doubt there should be mature deliberation on this subject."

What the Union Leaguers Think of It. i'he caucus nomination of Messrs. Bunn nnd Marks forGuardiansof thePoor by City Councils caused, it will be rum in bend, such a stir among tho members of the Union League, that the campaign committee of sixty two deemed it necessary that some decided act of disapproval should bo manifested, and on the 19th of May hist this committee passed resolutions, of which the following was a part Jirmlrrd, That we respectfully ask tho Republican mem bcrs of irelrct and Common Councils to reconsider tho nomination of William M.

Iluuu und W. X. Marks for Guardian? 01 the Poor, and to substitute for them the names of men who pew ess th confidence of the members of the Kepupliran lurty, and whoso lituess for the position no one will question. The resolutions seemed to fall with a heavy thud on the members of City Councils, for they took no measures to acknowledge tho rebuke, with the exception of Mr. Caven, who circulated a paper among his colleagues asking for a reconsideration of the caucus nominations of the two objectionable gentlemen.

Ho obtained twenty six signatures, several of the members ho bad voted for Bunn and Marks placing their names to the petition. Tho document lacked nearly a dozen signatures to make it effective, however, and so Mr. Caven was thwarted in his endeavor to reform his brethren. Yesterday Councils elected the criticised nominees, as will be seen elsewhere in the report of City Councils. In order to discover tho eifoct upon the Leaguers, of this action last night, a Times man circulated nnioiig the members of the committee of sixty two." The first call was made upon Mr.

Lemuel ollin, the chairman of tho executive committee, at his residence on Locust street. Mr. Coffin appeared shocked at the audacity of Councils, when he was in tbrintd of the election by the reporter, and remarked that he considered it an insult to the League and tho better element of the Republican party. He thought it wrong to thus force disreputable candidates into position considering the character of the hold which the party now has upon right minded people in Philadelphia. "Yes, it will have a bad effect, answered Mr.

Collin, ''und 1 think every man who voted for Bunn and Marks should be niurked." As The Timks man lipped his hat to the gentleman at tho door step, ho was informed that a meeting of the committee would certainly be called, and that speedily to lake action in the mutter. Henry Armitt Brown, the lawyer, and a member of the committee, was surprised nt the election, although he said ho thought it might result as it has. Tho election of Bunn und Marks was in the power of Councils; the influence of the League was cbielly moral." "Yes, I think it is an insult to the replied Mr. Brown, warmly, I think it. is taking up the glove against us, and its effect upon the party will be bad." Ho considered it nn eminently unwise step on the cvo of a fubemntorial election which looked doubtful for the lepublican party.

As tho interview terminated, the lawyer expressed an opinion that the committee would meet and take action in the premises. 10. Dunbar Lock wood, offered tho above resolution, was found in the lobby of tho League House. Ho was not the least surprised nt the action of Councils and believed that it meant war between that distinguished body aud the League. At least, he said, "it looks as if these people, meant to defy the League" Ho had no doubt but that the committee would bo called to consider tho question either on Saturday night or early next week.

Thomas llnrt, was of" the opinion that the attitude of Councils would "stiffen the backbone of the committee and make the sixty two more determined in opposition. Ho thought that the committee ought to be called together and believed it would bo. Another member of the committee, who was violently opposed to having his name printed in Tuts Times, declared the election of tho "Judgo" aud his colleaguo "would kill the party, or, if not, would give it a healthy kick down hill." A CURIOUS TRIAL IN THE SE33ION3. Old Dave Smith and the Chickens, and How Ha Escaped the Clutches of the Law. Yesterday, in tho old Quarter Sessions, the proso cuting attorney arose in his place with a blue indictment in bis bund, nnd informed tho jury that they were to try David Smith upon tho charge of tho larceny of two chickens, tho property of some person "to the grnnd inquest unknown," and after this brief speech be resumed bis seat.

So far the proceeding caused no flutter, nnd the knot uf young practitioners occuiying the centre of tho bar suffered no interruption in their discussion of the new tableau performers nt lie Varieties." A smart policeman promptly occupied the witness stand, surveyed every part ot the loom nnd its contents, while the crier drooned to bini the oath for truthfulness, kised tho good book with a loud smack of the lips, ami Marled olf upon Iho following narrative liko a a wheelbarrow pushed down hill: "About tho hour of midnight Inst Wednesday week, while walking on mybetit, I observed the prisoner coining from nil alley mill acting in a suspicious manner.

Washington, June 3. Tho Indians have determined to shako the dust of the Federal Capital off their feet and return to their native heath. They go away sadder and perhaps wiser men. They were satisfied before they came that the agents and representatives of their Great Father were bad men, with double faces, forked tongues and a superabundance of very deep and always empty pockets, but in simplicity of untutored ignorance they believed that they had a true friend in the Great Father himself, anil they came here, as) Spotted Tail told him yesterday, tosee him face to face, and tell bini the truth. They did not believe in tha Secretary of the Interior or the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and the first time they had an opportunity to talk to their Great Fatiier they told him this plainly and unequivocally.

This Red Cloud said to your correspondent lost evening. They soon discovered that their Great Father had an unaccountable aversion to bear the truth plainly spoken. They found also that be had a very great desire to get possession of their country, and he would not listen to the words which they desire to speak to him on other matters. If our Great Father," said Red Cloud, has so great a regard for our welfare as he tells us he has, why does he sav that we must leave our country aud go to the lands o'f the strange Indians? If he wants to protect us from bad white men why does he 'tell us to stop when we begin to talk about the rascals ho has given us lor agents? I like to hear my (treat Father talk, nnd I always listen to bis words and do not forget tbem.but at tbesame time I would like to have him practice what he preaches. I would like him to make bis people whom he sends out to tuke care of us do what is right." Both Spotted Tail and Red Cloud told ine last night thut they would never sign any papers here, but they would tell their Great Father to day that they wanted to go back to their people and consult with them on ull these matters, aud then submit all these disputed questions to a commission who would do them justice in their report.

This was not what the Interior Department expected. Both the Secretary of the Interior and Commissioner of Indian Affairs expected that the Indians would finally be prevailed upon to take the $25,000 and sign the paper, which gave away all their rights to the Nebraska country. They thought that theybad excited tho cupidity of Red Cloud and Spotted Tail, and that by refusing to bear them on any othersubject they would eventually pet them tosign the agreement. All the interpreters and people about the Indians were instructed to press them night nnd day, in season and out of season, to taka the money. But Spotted Tail and Red Cloud are not fools.

Indeed both of them are men of more than ordinary intelligence, and the former is a very wise old fellow. He is reticent and not given to much talk. As be says himself, "I think a great deal, say but little." He is not only a diplomatist, shrowd, wary and discreet, but is as smart in repartee as a Fullerlon or a Cboate. Since he has been hero he lias said more pood things, has exhibited moregeiiuino wit than any half dozen of the would be wits of the dav have gotten oil in a whole year. When the President and the Secretary of the Interior were pressing him the other day to remove his people to the Indian Territory, and were expatiating on the advantages of this country, Spotted Tail replied Chat if this country was so good, hy did not white men go there and leave thetu ftione in their country? He had lived many years ai.d scon great, deal of white men, and his experience taught him that they were generally on tho lookout lor good "If we give up our barren Blink Hills country and go South to this strange liinil, what security will we have that white men will not come in a few moons nnd drive tho poor Indians apain? If we can't retain tho land that has belonged to our fathers, where we were born and here our children we brought up, what guarantee have we that we will bo suffered to keep that which you give up?" Again, when they were told that there was no money to give them for their country, Spotted Tail said "When I came hero expected to find everybody rich.

All the people you send out to us have heaps of big pockets, and they keep on filling them till they are satisfied, and then tl.ey po away. I thought everybody rich at Washington but 1 find everybody is poor, so poor that they ant to take poor Indian's land and give him nothing in return." Spotted Tail is a very remarkable looking Indian, ant! in dignilv and true native breeding has more than once set the Secretary of the Interior an example in politeness which ho might have imitated. On Tuesday last in a closely packed room, where there were more than a score of ladies who had been admitted to bear the great chiefs talk, Mr. Delano deliberately lighted a cigar, and for more than half au hour sat pulling away like bis master Grant does in Pullman palace cars. Spotted Taii would die before be would address either a lady or gentleman with his head covered or expectorate iu their presence, or light his pipe.

He would never interrupt a person who was addressing him or anybody else, nor would ho speak a word without first inquiring whether his friend had fini. bed his speech. I have never been the admirer of the Indian of the plains, and have always believed that the noble red man, as pictured by Cooper, was the creature of fancy only. But after a close study of Spotted Tail under almost every condition of things here and with two hours' personal interview, I am constrained to say that he is in every way the equal, ami in many filings the superior, of tiie averagewhite man. Neither be nor Red Cloud are going to be humbugged by tho palaver about their Great Father's friendship for thetu or the deep interest that the Secretary aud the Commissioner pretend to feel for their welfare.

They feel and know ihnt the white men have no confidence in these men, and they go back to their homes with the belief that justice will be done them finally, but not until the Augean stables at Washington have been cleansed. Another Council Final Refusal to Sign the Agreement. WAsniNoTON, June 3. The Commissioner of Indian Allaire held a short council with the lud'ans at (heir hotel this forenoon, lit which he again presented to them the reasons why they should sign tliu agreement lor accepting the $25,000 fur relinquishing thoir right to hunt in Nebraska. The Indians declined to sign Hie agreement here at all, and said they would take it home ith them and have it explained to thoir people.

Red Cloud urged that thesix commissioners bo appointed at once to goon with them if pos.iible,and on bis part be iioininattd Todd Randall aud Mr. Collins for two of the six. The Commissioner agreed that the slakes of the Nebraska which troubled the Indians so much, should bo removed, and he said the President would lake into consideration the appointment of tho commissioners. Tho Indians will pmbably leave to morrow night, if they can get ready, as they are anxious to return to their people, although the agents want them to come to some understanding in relation to the Black Hills before they go, if possible. They may have a little talk with the Commissioner oga'in to morrow.

Special Dispatch to the. Time: Pottsville, June 3. About 4 o'clock this morning a large crowd of men appeared in Delano, a mining town two miles northeast of Mahanoy City. The crowd, which numbered about five hundred, came from the direction of Hazelton, and had evidently been on the road all night. They soon disclosed what the object of their visit was.

Augmented by the discontented of Delano, they proceeded in a compact body towards Mahanoy City. Most of the collieries surrounding this place had commenced work and had been working quietly for the last two days. The crowd went from colliery to colliery, and by threats forced those who were working to desist. Tho news of the advent of this turbulent element was quickly telegraphed to the officers of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, who immediately set about obtaining protection for tiieir property and for such of the men as chose to continue at Work. The rioters went from Mahanoy Citv to Shenandoah in order to stop the collieries at that place, but they were surprised aud deterred here by finding the collieries guarded by a force under Joseph Heisler, the chief of the Coal and Iron Company's police.

The sheriff of Schuylkill county had gone from here to tho Catawissa valley, and was not within reach of the telegraph for some hours, but as soon as the news reached him he repaired at once to Shenandoah City and organized a posse, and the strikers, without making any further demonstration, marched through the city towards Mahanoy City, where they arrived about noon. In the meantime all was bustle and alarm here General J. K. Seigfried, commanding the Ninth military division, placed himself in communication with Governor Ilartranft, and received orders to have the several companies belonging to his command held in readiness to obey the call of the sheritf. The Healing Railroad Company held special trains in waiting to transport the troops to any point in the county.

The sheritf, leaving a strong guard in Shenandoah iinder Joseph Heisler. started after the mob. The tire companies of Sheuandoah have offered the sheritf their assistance to protect the collieries, whilst the citizens of that place, including the miners, are wroth at being interfered with by a mob of men from another county. It was feared that the rioters would return to Shenandoah to night, in which event blood would certainly be shed. In the meantime the rioters had gone towards Mahanoy City, and the sherilf with his posse followed them.

At" about 3 o'clock an encounter took place at Mahanoy City, between the rioters and the citizens who were "assisting the shoriir, and whilst the sheriff was calling on tho men to disperse, pistol shots were fired, and other missiles thrown. Ono of the sheriffs posse was wounded. The rioters had in the meantime increased their numbers to about ono thousand, by the addition of all the turbulent people of the places through which they passed, and so great was the excitement that the sheriff decided to call out the military. Two companies from Pottsville and a company each from Lebanon and Shamokin were sent to Mahanoy City. The excitement here, as tho troops repaired to the train, was intense.

The people crowded thestreets, business was practically suspended, and the demand for the Evening Chronicle, our sprightly evening daily, so great, that the limited means of supply was unable to meet the demand. It is but fair to our miners to say that they repn li ate and are disgusted with the invasion of this from another county. Our miners had concluded that they would go to work on the best terms they could get. Those who are still able to buy the necessaries of life could no longer bear to contemplate the satForinj of their poorer and less fortunate brethren. Mr.

Welsh and the other leaders of the Miners an.l Laborer's Association are outspoken in their condemnation of to day's proceedings.and they express themselves willing and anxious to do anything in their power to quell the disturbance. Arrival of the Military at Mahanoy City, leeial IXqiatch to The Titnejt. Mahanoy City, June 3. Tho military arrived here shortly after 5 o'clock P. and found the most intense excitement existing among the citizens.

The streets were crowded with terrified people, who were much relieved at the sight of the soldiers. The rioters had withdrawn from the town and were skulking around the outskirts in knots of twenty or thirty, evidently overawed by the presence of tho military. The soldiers were quartered at the Citv Hall, and arrange ments at once made to give the men a good supper to strengthen them tor the watch ot the night, lne officers were quartered at the Mansion House. There wns no immediate expectation of any trouble at Mahanoy City, and everybody was busy removing the debris of the late combat. It was found on investigation that the casualties consisted of two wounded.

Henry Leitenberger, a police officer, was wounded in tho bead, and William Encke, a citizen, was wounded in the leg. It was estimated that more than one hundred shots wero fired, besides any amount of stones thrown in the skirmish, yet the execution was very small, but very satisfactory to thoso concerned no doubt. A company of soldiers from St. Clair, and two companies from Shamokin wero sent by mil to Shenandoah, where they were received with great jov, and with earnest assurance that the citizens would do all in their power to aid in restoring peace. As night approached feeling of doubt and anxiety took is session of all those who dwelt near the theatre of the disturbances.

Col. IlunUinger. Quiet reigns at both" places, and the men seem to have dispersed. Fears are entertained lest depredations by lire should be undertaken by the mob. John Welsh, president of tiie Miners and Laborers' Association, in conversation says that the calling out of troops was unnecessary; that the conduct of tho miners has been exaggerated.

It is said by olfijers of the Philadelphia and Heading Coal and Iron Company that tho demonstration to day was made in order to prevent inen making terms individually, instead of terms for all being made by the Miners and Laborers' Association. Adjutant General James Latta has arrived here to direct the movements of the military. A special train is at Mahanoy City to take troops to any point. The streets are entirely clear and the military look forward to a quiet night.

NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGISLATURE.

An Exciting Debate in the House Democrats Filibustering. CoNemtn, N. II. 'Junes. The House met at 10 A.M., nearly every member being in his seat, and the tloor in the rear of the railing and the galleries were packed with spectators.

Mr. Moore, of Nashua, at once called up the unfinished business and moved tho previous question, being a resolution to refer the disputed Senatorial matter to the Supremo Court. This at once provoked nn excited debate. Mr. Hatch (I)oiii.) pronounced it an effort to gag the debate and deprive tho Democrats of a fair showing of their sido of the question, which if persisted in would force them either to withdraw in a body or take positive steps to secure fairness.

The debato was continued on both sides ith frequent dilatory motions, in all of which the Republicans showed a working majority of about li. They seem determined in their policy, aud tho passago of 1 lie resolution is but a question of a few hours at the furthest. Later The Courts to Decide, CoKconi), June 3.

filarial Plupateh to The Itmes. Waashinotojj, Juno 3. The sensation in Washington to day was the robbery of the Treasurer's ollice of forty seven thousand dollars. The circumstances under which it is alleged that this money was taken, make it a very mysterious case. The treasury officials and the secret service people nil contend that the robbery must have been committed by Homo ono inside.

They tay that they hnve narrowed it dowu to four persons, but it is scarcely possible, in my opinion, that this can bo correct. The money was undoubtedly taken by a snenk thief, just ns twenty thousand dollars wore stolen by Cliauncey Johnson, a famous Now York sneak thief, four years ago this month.

If there is one outrage more deserving of detestation than another it is the trenching upon the miserable incomes of the poorly paid and poverty strickeu police magistrates and aldermen of Philadelphia. They get only from $3,000 to $10,000 a year. This, it is alleged; is now being daily done by one George," a clerk in the office of the Clerk of Quarter Sessions.

In the words of a police magistrate Why does Recorder Givin impose rules upon some of the new magistrates which he does not exact of others He has two magistrates quite near him. Oneof these may justify 'the license bond of a tavern in any ward of the city, and the Recorder approves it unhesitatingly if the other does the same act for one in a ward other than that his court is in, the same Recorder Givin refuses to pass it. One of these magistrates is a Republican, the oilier a Democrat. Is that the reason or is there some other reason, personal or pecuniary Whatever the reason, the record will bear out the statement. Givin must have some private reason, not known to the uninitiated, for so strictly enforcing the law, according to bis interpretation of it, on one hand, aud for relaxing it so notoriously on the other.

Is there a license ring with a divvy A friend of mine standing at the desk in the Quarter Sessions ollice last Thursday says be saw a well known tavern keeper present his application, unaccompanied with sureties, and he (the tavern keeper) was assured by Mr. Garrison that the young man 'George' would fix it for him. Our informant says 'George' signed in his presence two names as sureties. Can this be so? Now who justified this bond? I have heard of other cases. I publicly call the attention of the Clerk of the Quarter Sessions to these alleged malpractices in his ollice.

I have heard that certificates are given to the applicants in some instances, to be taken to the City Treasurer, before tho bonds have been justified or even signed by auy sureties. 1 have heard of another case in which George told a tavern keeper that the magistrate or alderman of his ward could not legally attend to this business for liim, that the ltecorder would not pass it, but that lie must get it done in the Quarter Sessions office The applicant didn't believe him, but went to the projajr oiticer then returned and showed it to but the litter was nowise abashed at beiug caught in the falsehood. The entire business of issuing tavern licenses has degenerated into a low farce, all the provisions of the law, intended to guard tho; issuance of licenses, being openly disregarded, the bonds being bogus, with imaginary bondsmen, mythical names being signed by subordinates around public offices, and some one solemnly Certifying under the seal of a court to the fact of those bogus bundsnien having personally appeared, signed and justified before bini." Thus yesterday discoursed with great heat and evident self interest a committing magistrate to a representative of The Times. It appears that at the tarter Sessions office a blank application must bo first obtained by a candidate for tiie honor of dispensing liquid stimulation in its different forms, for which a charge has always been made of one dollar that this the applicant fills in, and, according to law, takes to an alderman of his ward or a police magistrate (their pecuniary and peculntive heirs and assigns), who certifies to the good moral character of the ambitious tavern keeper and the sufficiency of the sureties whose bond must accompany the document. For this tho alderman or police magistrate, as the case may be, receives one dollar, and then the application is taken to Recoidtr Givin, ho approves the bond and gets ono dollar, and then the applicant goes on from oliica to ollice until he finds, alter paying out some sixty four dollars, that ho is licensed to sell liquors, spirituous, vinous and malt, in any quantity between a quart and a thimbleful.

Now it is by the polico magistrate aforesaid inserted that to tho great deprivation of the magistrates' pockets, "George," of tho Quarter Sessions, runs the machine himself, and that liceuses can be pot complete from him without wear or tear of shoe leather that in order to gather in cash himself, he frightens tavern keepers with the information that away down in tho First ward is the only alderman who can endorse their bond, aud that rather than permit them to go where they lawfully ought to, the magistrates of their own wards, he wholesales them, having in one instance, that of a tavern keeper in the Sixth ward, who owns five places of refreshment, furnished him with five blanks for $2.60. And then there is an item of license frames, miserable little things that could be made, it is said, for fifteen cents apiece, for which the Quarter Sessions people charge $1.50. This is the wail of a pjlica magistrate who asserts that in the Sixth ward out of tvto hundred tavern keepers not more than six dollars of their money has found its way into his or any other magistrate's or alderman's pocket, but altogether into that of George." It's a very pretty quarrel as it stands, and George evidently has tho best of it. THE BREWERS' CONGRESS. The Malt Liquor Interest and Its Needs Prohibition to be Resisted.

Cincinnati, June 3. In tho Brewers' Congress today the committee on resolutions made a lengthy report, which lecites that the brewers pay about revenue tax, and states that they would probably pay more but for tho stringent rules of the revenue officers, which render the business dangerous, and that it is desirable to obtain the best materials, in the cheapest market, free from the duty now imposed upon imported barley aud bops, in order to compete with foreign brewers. They request the government to remove all unnecessary restrictions under which the malt honor interest labors, and ask that Congress be petitioned to amend the internal revenue laws, especially to limit the power which is assumed by tho Commissioner of Internal Revenue, of deciding the amount of tax a brewer is liable to pay, They ask that certain sections of the present internal revenue laws hich arc obnoxious to tho brewing interest be 'brought to tho notice of tho government, and that tho government be petitioned to remove the duties on 'imported bailey, hops and malt. Upon the subject of prohibition it was resolve i thut the fallacies of teetotalisni be exposed, tha statistics presented by the prohibitionists bo analyzed, and their assertions refuted; that where restrictive and prohibitory enactments existed, every posssiblo measure be taken to oppose, resist and repeal them, and that politicians favoring prohibitory enactments fboiild be opjoscd when oll'erinij themselves for office.
