right to decide the matter for themselves. The CoaIrant says further: FWhether this is a wise policy is question which has two sides. Undoubtedly large majority of the law abiding and temperate people of the State are in favor of carefully restricting the sale of intoxicants, reducing the evils to the low est point and compelling those who profit by the business to pay portion of the ex- pense which drunkenness puts upon the State. Probably large majority of the peo- pie believe, what is unquestionably true, that the effort to prevent intemperance by abso- lute prohibition would, after brief trial, re- suit in dismal failure, and at the same time deprive the State of it's present revenue. But it is by no means improbable that such an amendment if submitted to the people would be adopted, those fayoring it making special effort for it, while very many of those who believe it would be psrnicious failure would lack the courage of their opinions and would stay away from the polls Probably the wiser policy would be to treat proposed constitution al amendments on their merits, voting for or against them as they commend themselves to the individual judgment, without regard to the theory that the people of the State have a right to decide for themselves. In other words, it is not wise to submit any such measure to popular vote, unless it is approv- ed by those who vote to so submit it." Is the Courant losing faith in ''the dear peo- nla

During the past few years the sscause of temperance" has been making great progress In the West, and as consequence the liquor dealers are casting about for some way to check the tide which they fear may over- Whelm them. Among the organizations work ing for this end is the Liquor Dealers and Manufacturers Protective Association of Hi nols, which held it's annual convention at Rock Island yesterday. The proceedings were all interesting, but perhaps the most in- teresting part of them was the reading of the annual report of the trustees of the society
 This report is in some respects a notable production. It is fiery in sentiment and in language. One might easily imagine it to have been written by liquor dealer who was formerly rabid prohlbitionist. It de- ciares that ''the great State of Iowa has fall en helpless victim of ignorant, blind fanat lcism, and that the majority for prohibition was so great as to indicate that the minds of the people had been maddened by frenzy of drunken fanaticism. It adds 'sFor years the Goddess of Liberty will lie there wounded and rushlessly trampled upon by lot of fa- natical fools and cunning zealots." 7" It asserts e-t>e radiation has been overhowing two large and fair States, the legislative branches of whose governments have made themselves the sub servlent tools of fanaticism. While Ohio has been content with passing obnoxious laws, the legislature of Indiana has submitted to popular vote an amendment to the constitu tlon prohibiting the sale or manufacture of
 ''our commodities. " It says further: s"The more Western perspective is still more son.
 ore and gloomy. Kansas bows to the sceptre of St. John; Nebraska is on the brink of be- ing ingulfed in the maelstrom of prohibition, while Missouri Is in similar danger and so are North Carolina and Arkansas" The trustees crlticise severely tho apathy of those whose property and industry are thus directly threatened and who sleep amid the danger They state what they have been doing during the year. They have directed their efforts to agitation and organization and to political and legal work In the work of agitation the services of several lecturers. notably of the Rev. C. c. Barnett of Iowa, have been secured, and believing that prohibition has been manly fostered and promoted by agi- tat1on, the trustees claim that the same policy will have as efficient results in defeating pro. hibition, and strongly urge it on the conven- tlon. Organization is also strongly recon mended, and the improvements in this branch of the work during the last year are pointed out.
 It Is proper to state that the society to which this report was made does not favor free rum. It proposes vigorous license system and such legislation as will correct the abuses of the liquor trade

How They Catch Sauid.

One of the greatest curiosities among the inhabitants of the deep is the squi6, just now the orthodox bait for killing the codtish. The squid is smaller edition of the huge devilfish, or octopus, wonderful specimens of which have of late years been found on the Newfoundland coast. The squid take him concretely, is a revolting looking crea- ture Cut section, say ten Inches long, from common eel, transform it's flesh into O tough jelly, give it a cruciform tail at one end and eight short sucker armed feelers at the other; conceive the suckers, each armed with circle of small teeth, and the feelers converging to cruel hawk-like beak-then we shall have weak likeness of the squid. The creatures mode of progression is orig inal. It has within it's body an elastic suc- ton tube by drawing water through holes in it's mantle the sauid, by a sudden squirt, drives itself backward as fast as a fish can swim, and by inverting it's tube can move with equal velocity in the opposite direction. digging for these squids is rare spectacle. The digger" is red stick of wood circled with sharp but barbless hooks. The hook is let down. the squid which enters these bays here by myriads for food, is attracted by the red color, clasps it's arms over the hooks, and is drawn up to its death. But as 1t reaches the surface the novice must be on guard, for the squid shoots straight at it's captor his charge of water, followed by another squirt of an inky fluid, which on light garments is almost indeible. The fishermen know the creature's trick. and by skillful movement induce the squid to deliver his charges upon one side, then by a quick in version of the hook drop the squid in the boat. A squid fishing fleet of boats, closely grouped, as to keep the schools of young octopi collected, is an animated sight. Each man tends three four lines, and has all he can do when squid are around. The hustle of the fishes, the humping of the squid in the boats. and the incessant squirts of water to height of several feet in all directions through the fleet, make up most pictures que sea spectacle The flesh of the squid has some poisonous quality that makes even the tough skins of the fishermen by long handling. On the codfish hook it's flesh grows white and tough, making very alluring bait.

 Senator Malone is carrying on his Read Juster campaign by seeking federal patronage in the departments at Washington. He has just caused the removal of seven clerks in the patent office and the appointment of Virginians in their places. It has been the custom for many years for politicians from the North to have persons appointed and credited to Southern or Democratic States Under this practice a large number of clerks have been appointed as from Virginia who never lived there. Mr. Mahone having been recognized as the dispenser of federal pat ronage for Virginia, has decided to have all of it, and has made thorough inquiry to as- certain the real residence of all those credit ed to his State
