to testify and the conviction fell to the

doubt of the guilt of accused. The L; t

The arniv appropriation bill was then
taken up. -in-l S.'iiator Ibih- moved an
Mnieii inu nt to the i'lil providing that no
liquor.-, beer or wine he sold or supplied
to enlisted men ;.t military posts.
Mr. Frye said that the state of Maine
had a very deep feeling on the question.
'i he people of that st.ue tried to enforce
the prohibitory liquor law, and did en
force the prohibitory law very well; but
if the sale of liquors was authorized at
the one militaiy pmt there it would
have a very bad eil'.-ot. A recent de
cision of the supreme court had excited
that very greatly and had a tendency to
iles-Tov the prohibitory law. if it did not
actually destroy it. If the United States
opened the doors by that decision to
such violation of the. prohibitory law,
and then, in addition to that, authorized
liquors to be pi -Id on its premises, the
state of Maine might just as well give
up the prohibitory law and let it go.
Senator Allison remarked that he un
derstood th.it tiie present secretary of
war had given orders that in prohibitory
states no liquors should be wold ut mili
tary posts.
Mr. Gorman said that while he be
lieved in temiier.incu and practiced it
absolutely it was not possibly to enforce
it on everyljody else, and it was not wise
if it were possible. Such extreme legis
lation had resulted in the recent de
cision of ihe supreme court, which wa.s
n gai del by lawyers and laymen us
most extraordinary.
Senator Paddock said that liquors
would be sohi to the canteens from the
commissary department, that the sol
diers would thus have more liquors
much cheaper than ordinary citizens
could get them, and that, there
fore, larger quantities would lie con
sumed. As to'oiiicers making rules and
regulations for the control of the can
teens, he said that, officers of the army
were not able to make rules for their
own sobriety, and that nowhere wa.s in
temperance so con.- ic nous as at the
n:;l:ta; y jxists on the frontier.
Sena: or Bhiir si: id that usually the
o;'::. ers f the army were more in need
ot prohibitory lestraint than the soldier

Only about one tree out of twenty is

Ballard's Horehoond Syrup.
No inet diseasa has played such (ad havoc with
the human race as Consumption. No other disease
approaches so stealthily. Its early symptoms are ig
nored because it is thought only a Cola or hacking
Cough, which is neglected until this grim monster has
such a hold that nothing but death can relieve it.
Ballard's Horehoond Syrup has removed the grip of
this grim monster from many a throat. If taken in
time it will effect a permanent cure, and in the worst
stages it will give surprising relief. Try its soothing
tad healing virtues. Do not put it otr until too late.
