THE LOCAL OPTION MoVEMENT.

THE LOCAL OPIION MO EM LIN L.
An esteemed friend asks us why the
press has not taken more active part for
or against so prominent question as local
option. We presume that it is because
editors are human and are actuated by
the same hopes and apprehensions that &C
tuate other people. 1t is grave step for
any man to take to oppose movement
which is headed by, and has enlisted
great body of the best people of his State,
and the object of which is purely for the
good of mankind. Should his opposition
be successful in defeating their efforts he
could never, if he have proper senslblllty,
cease from anxiously questioning himself
whether he is not greatly to blame for hav-
ing aided in throttling movement which
if it had been successful might have saved
the lives and characters of thousands of
his fellow men. On the other hand the
gravest doubts haunt him as to whether a
State has right to license traffic, to
tempt men to invest there all in it, pass
laws for its conduct, and then because il
fails to enforce these laws, give other citi
zens the option of wrecking the fortunes
that under the protection of the State it.
self men have been led to invest in it
whether parents have a right to neglect
home government and afterwards shift
the burden Of parental guardianship
on the police; whether all sumptu
AIRY laws, however well intended, d.
not contain the germ of wrong and ulti
mate failure within themselves; whethe
after all, this movement may not fail as
many similar ones have and the only re
suit of the agitation be that the respecta
BILE dealers will have been driven out of thu
trade and their places filed by an un
liscensed set of bucket shops,-and many
other doubts which it is not our purpose
to print.
And yet no man can look forward tx
what those engaged in this movement hope
for, and are working fora sober and tenn
perate community, without feeling that i
would be the greatest earthly blessing tina
people could fall heir to.
These are the sort Of conflicting doubt
that perYade the press of our State ant
doubtless the most of them think as we do
that if all that is hoped for can be don
God forbid that we should raise hant
against the men who are doing it.

The United States Courts seem to have
a way Of getting at repudiating counties
at all events. In Tenn, $500 railroad got
a judgment against county for s2S, 00O
for bonds Issued in aid Of the road. The
Supervisors in order to escape levying a
tax to pay it resigned. Judge Hammond
of the U. s. Circuit Curt informs tn EN-
that that method will not avail and that
he holds the judgment over them as lien

THE UNCERTAINTY OF POLIT!
ICAL REWARDS.

An unexpected complication has arisen
in the distribution this week of the bronzs
medals to the famous 1905" Grant men of
the Chicago convention. The medal for
Mr.. David Mouat, of Philadelphia, will
not, as we learn from an exchange, be de-
iivered at present, that gentleman being
DOW actively engaged in serving out a
term In the Pennsylvania penitentiary, the
rules of which do not permit tho inmates
to accept decorations from foreign powers.
1t may be said to the credit of this emil
nent Republican that he did not seek his
present position III the service of the State,
but it was forced on him by his fellow Cit
liens. 1t is one of the rare cases in which
the position sought the man and which if
more frequent would 60 far TO purify and

The Prescott spportionment bill seems
to be most likely to be adopted by Con-
gress. Under it Virginia will only have
what she has now-nine representatives.
The New England States will fall off in
their representatives having only Is in
stead OF % members. Maine drops to four;
it once mad eight. Vermont falls to two;
it once had five. In 1850 New England
elected one. eigth of the Representatives in
Congress. BY the new apportionment it
will be entitled to only one-thirteenth.
The present number of members of the
House of Representatives is 1893, but under
the new apportionment it will be 800. The
increase of q members in the House will
raise the Presidential electoral vote to 1896
majority of which is 1879. The free States
will have 249 electors; the old slave States
$50, giving the former a majority of So.

No Evidence That He is not Millionaire
when st Emerson.
The case of the State against Alfred
Hespeler, the fast young man who was
arrested for obtaining money under false
pretenses from several well known citi-
zens of st. Paul, came to an abrupt con-
clusion in the police court yesterday al
ternoon when the prisoner was dis
charged. The hearing was set for 2
o'clock and was interrupted several times
during the afternoon by civil business.
The court room was crowded with
spectators, and among the onlookers were
the victims of the defendant and number
of those who had known him when he
basked in the sunlight Of prosperity.
Young Hespeler was clearly shaver and
presented dapper and tidy appearance.
He was represented by Mr.. W. W.
Erwin. Mr.. Eagan appeared for the
state, and the proceedings were enlived
by several nice tits between counsel.
A number of witnesses were sworn,
among whom were Detective O'Connor,
who made the arrest; Messrs. Ransom,
E. Allen, John and Thomas Smith and
Mr. May, all of whom had been bilked,
and the testimony of whom seemed to be
given very unwillingly.
Upon the testimony being through, MIR.
Erwin moved to dismiss on the grounds
that the prosecution had failed to show
that defendant had not valid cash ac-
count in the Bank of Emerson when the
drafts were given.
The court took this view Of the case and
he was discharged.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Lillipsstians

A large audience assembled at the Opera
House last night to witness the performance
of "Jack, the Giant Killer" as presented by
Deakin's Lilliputian Comic Opera company.
The company comprises an aggregation OF
little people, who, for artistic action and gen.
eral sprightliness and versatility of talent,
have never been equalled in this city. Each
member of the company ia pocket edition OF
excellence. The plot of "Jack, the Giant
Killer" is simple, but its general scope affords
ample opportunity for the display OF the Dy
no mean order of talent possessed by the sew
eral artistic little people of the company.
There are several very amusing situations
and the naive manner in which they are enact.
ed never fails to receive the hearty applause OF
the audience. The costuming is quite al
mirable and the singing good. The cast in
cludes Miss Jennie Qingley, the miniature
prima donna, twenty-s six inches high, Win
good soprano voice; Eliza Nestal, announcer
fairy, only twenty inches in height; Admiral
Dot, the tenor; Commodore Foote, the BARI
tone: Captain Midget, Major Davis, and last
but not least, Colonel Orr, the giant, said to
be the largest man in the world.
The contrast between the latter and the
Liliputian members of the company IS aston,
ishlng and gives rise to the most striking and
laughable situations in the performance.
The duet in the second act by Admiral DOT
and the giant, was fine and singing OF the
sextette in the third act was also admirable
and called for an encore. The scene in the
fourth act, where the giant is assailed by
means of step ladder and is conquered was
HIGHLY amusing and drew shouts of laughter
from the audience. The fifth act introduces
some fine speciality business, the jig permances
of Commodore Foote and Nestal being enjoy
able and the matrimonial jars by Miss Quig-
lev and Admiral Dot was one of the best fea-
lures of the show. The sailors hornpipe by
Commodore Foote fine performance and the
duet by Col. Orr and Admiral Dot was most
amusing.
The same bill at the matinee and tonight.

Illinois Board of Health and Small Pox.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-The state board
of health has adjourned its annual meeting to
March 20, at Chicago. Before adjourning the
following was adopted:
WHEREAS, the quarantine of measures for
prevention of the introduction of epidemic,
contagious or infectious diseases, from for
eign countries into the United States, are mat
tiers of national concern, affecting not only
the seabord and gulf states where necessarily
such measure must be enforced, but also and
equally these of the interior, as evidenced most
recently by the wide diffusion of imported
small pox, therefore, be it
Resolpcd, That the judgement of this board
Is that such quarantine measure should be
under the discretion of the national govern
ment, necessary rules and regulations formu-
lated by the national organization, and in ex-
ecution intrusted to national officers.
ResolUed, The senators and representatives
OF these states, be and they hereby are res
pectfully and earnestly requested to use their
influence toward securing the necessary legis-
lation to this end.
