A Minneapolis paper deprecates the
proposition to increase liquor licenses
to $500, as is contemplated by a bill
introduced in the legislature the other
day, on the ground that ii would result
in closing every saloon in tie state
outside that city and st. Paul. Vast
ed sympathy. There are persons in
Winona who would he glad to pay
$4,000 yearly license to sell liquor if
thereby they could diminish the num-
Der of competitions i'll proportion to
the sum required for the privilege OF
selling. 1t is nonsense to say that a
$500 license would close all the saloons.
1t would, however, greatly lessen their
number, insure better order in those
remaining, and, presumably, diminish
drunkenness and crime. This, at least,
is the testimony of every community
where the experiment has been tried.
The plan may not come up to require
ments Of the ideal reformers, but it
has the practical merit Of accomplish
ing the very best that is within reach.

OUR NEIGHBOURS.

A petition was circulated in town
yesterday, asking the Legislature to
form new judicial district consisting
of the counties of Big Stone, Traverse,
Wilkin, Grant, Stevens and Swift.
The petition was generally signed by
our citizens, and the district as above
mapped out appeared to give good
satisfaction.
r. c. Moore and l.. G. Spooner of
Morris were in the city yesterday Mr..
Moore informed our reporter that in a
recent conversation with President
Willard and Vice President Oakes, of
the Northern Pacific, these gentlemen
had assured him that the l.. F. & ID.
road would be completed to Ortonville
neat summer, and that they had no
thought ofgoing elsewhere. .=-artonyile

Moral Reform.

The philosophy of moral reform, is
to "coloniZe in communities" but
rather those who desire, and seek such
reform, to mix up with those who
need reformation. Lutheras "Monk"
shut up in convent cell, could do but
little for the reformation of his coun-
trymen. But Luther let loose, to
come in contact with the people, be-
came a power in reforming the errors
of his time.
Suppose, however, we adopt the
community system; What then?
Who should go into colonies 10y them
selves? One writer says, "those
holding temperance views. Well,
those who hold temperance 0ic'rs are
a large proportion OF the people; take
them out Of every community, and
see what you have left, But the same
writer shows his hand more definitely
before he concludes, by making his
system apply to prohibitionists. Car
ry the system a little further, and the
Republican may say of the DemOcract,
because he differs in ideas of local
government, let him be sent into ~
colony with Democrats, and Elsa UcrSd.
How does this look? Democrats and
Republicans could then make local
laws to suit themselves, so long as
they do not conflict with the constitu-
tion of the United States, 40 matter
particularly whether either could
make prosperous communities.
Legislation has failed to rid the
state Of thieves, robbers and murder
ers, though the sentiment is strong
against them; what then? Shall we
have the laws prohibiting those evils
cancelled?
Prohibition in these cases does not
prohibit; but let the Legislature un-
, dertake to repeal the existing laws re-
lat:ne to them, and how soon we
should have ogitd,inH. And, again,
in such case, should the agitators be
branded as eccentric in their notions
of individual rights?
Moral suasion is good element or
power in overcoming evil, but it is
more potent when BACKED by legal
suasion, as we find in tine case of theft,
murder, &c.
Prohibition of evil, is a principle as
old as the law of God. One half of the
| DecalOgue is written and given to us
on this principle. Was the originator
eccentric in His views of individual
rights?
Prohibition of evil is all that is
asked by the prohibitionist. Send
! them all into communities, and you
take of every community, a large pro-
portion of its moral power; and re-
member that there are many good
men who are prohibitionists at heart,
while they do not proclaim their sem
| timents. s. p. M.

FAN
A Reminisence of the Fire at Morris.
BY REV. J. p. HUTCHINSON.

BY REV.JP p. HUTCHINSON.
The -ry Of fire ran through the town,
And in the night rlen hurried down
With corpse-hke faces in the slate
OF the fierce flames all raging there,
To save, if possible, the lives
OF maidens, mothers, babes and wives.
For all will toll, and never tire,
To rescue victims from fire.
But then no lives were lost. ''What, none?"
Now, l bethink me, there was one.
Her PLACE was there to guard and keep
The premises an hours o. sleep,
To let no flattery bribe' her peace
Until her master brought release,
A faithful watcher, constant friend,
And she was faithful to the end.
They dragged her out, but back she ran
To fight the fire, as with the man
Who'd pillage there, and twas her place
And she would stay in it, and face
Death in his fiercest mood. She can
Teach q gooG lesson unto man,
Still to be true to duty.
None
Destroyed at Morris fire? Yes, one,
A dog-hsr name was "Fan."
