Again this week, the senate was
treated to a batch of petitions pray
ing for prohibition in the District of
Columbia. Although no action has
been taken on tbe local option ques
tion here, it is understood that sev
eral members of the senate district
committee have that subject under
consideiation, and that a variety of
plana have Ixen suggested. There
is a atroug sentiment in favor of
making every adult resident 'of
Washington, both male and female,
eligible to vote upon the question. .
It is also urged that the question
shall be so presented that if tho ver
dict of the people is not in favor of
prohibition, they may have an op
portunity to state what solution of
the liquor question they prefer.
Another question under consider
ation ia as to whether high license
legislation or other action to de
crease the number of saloons or re
move the worst features of the pres
ent system ehould lx taken, pend-
mg the proposed popular vote.
The latest tariff bill introduced
in tbe bouse was Mr. Uandall's rev
enue bill, upon which he baa bt f-n
at work and has employed the -f-forts
of tarilf experts for many
months. It strikes out the tobacco
tax, reduces tbe whUky tax. and
makes but sm.ill chance in customs
.duties. Tbe republican lenders do
I not admit that they like it. They
win not suy um. im .....
adopt it. The majority of the .lem-
Ml 1 .- ,'nl,it,l irk,
ocrats ridicule it.
There is a determined effort ou
tho part of the large cigar inanity
facturers to prevent any repeal or
reduction of tbe tax on cigais. Pe
titions to thia end are received every
morning in the house and referred
to tbe ways and means committee.
They claim that the trade will be
seriously affected by a repeal or re
daction of tbe tax, and that the
workingtuen will be decreased in
conaequence.
Among seuatorial speechea of the!
week may be lnentioned that of Mr,
Colquitt, of Georgia, highly in
dorsing the presided' tariff. rue
bHge: that of Senator Beck on tbe
(lenontization of silver; Senator
Dolph'a protection speech, declaring
the tariff bill prepared by the dem-
ocratin majority of the way and
means committee to be destructive
to every industrial interest ou the
Pacific coast. Senator Allison tried
to bring the undervaluation bill to
vote, and Senator Sawyer spoke of
early action on private pension billa.
The evangelization of Waehing

When the ladies entered and began

to listen to them.
