The House Committee Oh Commerce
reported favOrably to the House the bill
offered early in the session providing for

prOpriates $4,000 for the erection of q
light house at that point.

The plan favored by the prominent
Republicans Of South Carolina for the
coming campaign is not to put up any
state ticket, but to aid and cOuDtenance
disaffected Democrats and to strive to
secure seats in the legislature and coun-
ty Offices where they can.

The Ohio legislature is in great fer
ment over bills for redistricting the
stato so as to make room for her addi-
tional congressman. Messrs. ThOrp and
Walker have introduced bills to leave
the districts as they are and elect one
congressman at large. 1t is not quite
clear that any enactment is needed in
order to have the odd member elected at
large, but many of the Democrats are
said to favor that solution of the matter
in order that they may put up ex-SeRa-
tor Thurman for the place.

We hope our Republican friends and
our Democratic brethren in the House of
Representatives will not quarrel too
much as to who has done the most to
protect naturalized citizens abroad. The
American Government has a record in
this particular under both parties that
will answer all purposes, and which is
plenty good enough to satisfy anybody
worth satisfying. The question of pro-
tecting citizens at home is one that may
profitably concern our statesmen quite as
much as the foreign business. The days
of buncomte ought to be over.

SCIENTIFIC men have been, for %

two Legislatures, by which the manufacture

Is prohibited. The canvass which led up to this
result was Il very active one. the temperance

the liquor interests expended money and labor
freely III the campaign against the amendment.
Ncar Y all of the cities-th0ugh Des M0ines is Il

arguments addressed to them to show that bar

temperance organizations and chief Of all, the
W omens Christian Temperance Unions, weld
ded an influence which il was impossible to
resist, and they are now eXultng over a victory

bined example or Kansas and Iowa will exert a
powerful influence upon the campaigns over
the same issue which are pending in Indiana,
Wisconsin. Minnesota, Nebraska and other
States. The text Of the amendment adopted in
Iowa is as follows:
mo person shall manufacture for sale, or
sell, or keep for sale, as a beverage, any in
tOXcating liquors whatever. including ale
wine and beer. The General Assembly shall by
law prescribe regulations for the enforcement
of the prohibition herein contained, and shall

Probably the liquor interests of Iowa owe
their defeat very largely TO the crusading women
