W.tHiijNOTON, December 1.—In an intarvlew
IwIthaTost reporter, Oolonel. Morrison, who
arrived iu the city tonight, said:
“Therein Just the same neewwity for tariff
legislation now that there .was in the drat Non* I
sion of the present congress. In fact It is morer
I urgent, os we approach the time whuu there
will ho no debt to which wo can apply tho
surplus revenue."
In reply to a question as to tho paesago of hia
tariff ipforro bill, Mr. Morrison wild ho bad no
reason to believe that the views uf the members
I of t h* boom bad uhanged since they refused
last svrtdou to eomddor tlm bill. His own itn»
pmolon was that those who oppoapd tho bill at
the hut awwion would continue Un>ir opjioaiUon
now, in the hopo Umt at some future Umo they
| would get a revision more satisfactory to them,
a revision In which, aa Iu the lost one, they
would consent to uo reduction of taxation un
its* they secured a reduction of the intorual
taxes. The protectionists, he though^ would
in time be compelled to put forward some such
measure la order to reduce tho surplus.

Dr. Felton praposee to wags a vigorouawur
on Atlanta's wine rooms.
TJie fight, was flatted yeaterday In -the
finance committees of the house.
For several davg past the finance oommlttfoo
has been engaged in the preparation of the gen
end tax bill, and yesterday «w it was about U,
dore Its work, Dr. Felton proposed an item fix*
. ing a $JO,OCO. liooaSD on all wine rooms. After
a fpirited dJ§cw<B».it waa voted down and tho
bill will be reported to the house
without guy : reference . to the
cxc< pt <v .provision for - sneh taxation
as, /apftw,i4id. ■ Dr. Felton gave notioe that be
would propose, the amendment in tho house
and pryc its adoption.
1 This, mean* a spirited contest over Atlanta's
wincrooins. ’ While the measure ia general in
lta scope, it la really intended as a blow at the
wineiooms bf Atlanta, as there aro none in tho
other cities pf tho state.
It is saia that the Fulton delegotiou will bp
unanimous in opposition to the measure, as
both mobtyfcleniat* and antbprohibitiooiet of
(he city fiavq.expressed a.willingnes s to abide
by the local option law as adopted last Novem
ber, ami gjve prohibition, as then adopted,
fair, trial,
Tbe . announcement that tho legislature
would probably grapple ‘with Atlanta's prohi
bition cxperiwcDt was received with considera
ble interest in tho city yesterday. Tha pro
posed measure of Ibr. Felton to levy a tax of
$10,000 on all winerooms was generally die*
curat'd on tbe streets, and .received both favora
blc and antagonistic-comment. Among them a
well-known and enthusiastic prohibitionist said
yesterday, in speaking of the subject:
‘T sincerely hope that tho amendment will
he adopted and that the winerooms will be
( forced out of existence. They arc not only
injuriouet in their uorul cficct, but they offer a
ch ar and legal method of defeating the very
intent of prohibition. Tho rooms
open Just as were tho l
rooms and offer the same induementa
entice the weak as did tbe barrooms. It is
true that no whisky is sold, but tlio stuff ther
do eel I is mono thun whisky, in thut it not
only him the same effect on the system, but is
ubo, iu ruauy instances, an nl>solu'te and quick
poison. I am iu favor of absolute ami ineva3tve
prohibition and am for any law, ho wove
stringent, that will enforce it.” One of the lat^
ter said yesterday:
measure. One of tbo latter said yeaterday:
‘J am strongly against the effort to levy a
tax of $10,000 on the wiue rooms, and liavj
no idea that the legislature will do such a
thing. I voted fur prohibition, and havo n »
ipgict that 1 did so. but when I voted for it* I
hnant to give it a lair trial for two years. The
anti-prohibitionists accepted the result of tho
election in good faith, and as a w. olo
they arc now os much in
terested in acting the law enforced
as are the prohibitionists. The bill which was
dfctwii by the strongest prohibitionists of tue
ls>t legislature, gave the eight to sell domestic
wine*. Those interested in thebusimus acocpt-
• The general tax bill which, It is said, Ur.
Felton will pxopos* to amend by Inserting a
$JO,OCO tax on wine rooms, will pro'rably bo
snbmitted to the house this morniug by the
finunco committee, which completed tho bill
yesterday. ‘ '■

"Britons,” said President Cotton, "spend an

Yen ate wrong, my friend. I paid$l r» taxes
on my New York house last year. \Vhat was
this tax uecd for? It was to govern a city where
t hi ce-foUrths of the arrests wero made on a©-
count of drunkenness. I can gdvern mysolfbut
I have to pay $425 a year to he protected from
tbe criminal classes, mado criminal through
rum.
I was lecturing out in Kansas lost spring,
Where they havo prohibition. An intemperate
man came to me one day and said:
Yes, Mr. Perkins, this prohibition will bring
ruin to the state.”
“It will, will it?”
"Yes, it will impoverish tut and destroy one
bpsiners hottres.”
"Now, let** see about this, my friend,” I Haiti,
I.et’s examine this a little. If a Kansas
former bring* a thou rand bushels of corn te
TupCka, he gets bow much for It?”
I "Fbur hundred dollars;” answered my friend.
| "Now. if they take this thousand over to
Ikorio, how much whisky will it^make?” *
1 "Pour thousand gallons.”'
"And this whisky is Worth—how ranch?”
i f*0, after they have paid $4,000 revenue tax
op it to the other thirty-six states, it will be
Worth about $1,600.

"Weil, I’ll tell von,” I said. "It will hart
ynp directly about $5,000 worth. You would soli
the corn from which this whisky U made far
4 >400, and then buy bock tho whisky for $3,030.
You would be directly out of pocket just $4,600.
Aid, indirectly, it would cost Kansas, in kilo-
nets and crime, canoed by the four thousand
gallons of whisky, about $20,000. It would tike
lfoOt 0 men a day apiece to drink it up, if they
drank a quart a day each. The loss of ltl.OJO
days’ tutor to Kansaa would be $20,000,

VBy heavens!” exclaimed my friend, "I never
heard it put in that way. I soo it ail plainly
now. I’ll never say anything about prohibi-
tlun denaging Kamos again.”
"Yes," 1 said, “if Kansas can save $25,000
on every thousand bushels of corn by letting it
go over to Peoria, tho more she is damaged that
way tbe richer she will become, until finally
Illinois, utterly impoverished, will have to cull
