HIGH LICENSE.
An Organized Movement to Raise the
Liquor License in st. Paul to $500.

The question of high license is one which
has been agitated in st. Paul for some time,
and an effort is to be made to give it practi-
cal effect at the coming election. The fol
lowing petition was being circulated yester-
day, and was numerously signed by citizens
without regard to party preferences:
To oar .feIlow citizens: The marked increase
in the traffic of intoxicating liquors in this
state exceeding by comparison even the
marvellous growth of our cities-is arresting
the attention of all thoughtful men, for the
reason that, as the sale of liquor grows, the
rolls of pauperism, of degradation
and of crime are fearfully
heightened. Not that intemperance
alone causes all this sad result; but that it is
the fruitful mother of most of it, the records
OF our asylums, poor houses, police courts
and prisons amply attest The liquor deal
er prospers, but his prosperity is builded far
too often upon the ruin of homes and the
wreck of the rising generation.
ST. PAUL FORMS NO EXCEPTION.
Her population is 100, 900, and she has a
drinking saloon for about every fifty voters.
All OF these places make money, and they
are increasing rapidly. This because, first,
Guc uceHSe Lee Is uOHllHdl, anu, eeCouu, IL 10
law of experience, that the more convent
ent the temptation is made the more numer-
GUS its victims. And so the saloons multi
ply on every hand because the expense is
light, the victims many, and the profits large
But it will not pay us, citizens and tax pay
ers, to seek to repair the ruin which is wrought
among our people by increasing our police,
our prisons and our asylums. 1t will pay
US all to arrest the evil now, before it re-
quires the strong hand of power, and to put
it under bond. This we can do by high
license. Our sister cities of Minneapolis and
Saltwater have set us a glorious example.
Many other cities in the west have adopted
high license. The hour of need is upon US
it is always the hour for action. Fellow
citizens, let US organize at once for the May
election, without regard to political lines, but
as citizens, to place in office aldermen who
will do our will, and let that will be, to in
crease the liquor license to $500 at least
For this purpose we hereby ask the CO.
operation of all citizens who are in favor Of
law and order, and the limitation of the
liquor traffic, without regard to individual
views of means and remedies, at a public
meeting to be held at Market Hall on next
Monday evening, April 7th, at eight O'Clock.

A BRACE OF GOPHERS.
Arrest of Two Crooks, One of Whom
Runs and is Shot at.

''We want you at the city hail." remarked
Officer DAILY, on the jackson street beat, to a
brace of queer looking young men yesterday
morning. They seemed to understand the
intimation, and started off with the officer
without making any ado. The officer started
up Third street with his men, and nothing of
note took place until Market street was
reached, when one of the slippery rascals said
''good day." and breaking away he ran like
a deer to Hill street, and scooted in the di-
rection of the river. DAILY turned the re-
naming man over to Officer Nugent, and
took after the fugitive. The latter was bent
on getting away, and did not halt until a
couple of shots were fired at him.
The men are Tom Cody, Chicago crook
and safe gopher" and Henry Pratt, another
thief. 1t was the latter who broke away, and
on being searched Scotch cap, SUBJ as are
used by thieves as ''wringer," was foundin
his pocket. Cody carried a pair of brass
knuckles in his pocket. They were wanted
on the charge of cracking the safe at
Schmitz' harness store few nights ago, and
also for breaking into Fie's saloon. They
were "spotted' by Capt. Bresset, and the
officers were instructed to keep an eye peeled
for them. A hearing will be had this morn

Heavy Sentences.

CINCINNATI, April 4.-The first sentencing
of prisoners since the riot took place to-day,
in judge Johnson's court. Belle Osborn,
colored, convicted of shooting with intent to
kill, received seven years. She begged most
piteously when the sentence was announced
and the Judge began to say, as this was a
woman he would modify the sentence, when
the prosecutor interposed vigorous protest,
saying this woman has been before the
criminal courts again and again, and some
thing must be done to relieve the courts, ii
for no other purpose. The judge permitted
the sentence to 1emain. The only other case,
where the crime was homicide, was John
Murtah, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
1t appeared he struck man with his fist,
and the plea was accepted, and a sentence
of five wears given

Mr. Wilde,ss Opinion

W. L. Wilder, former city attorney OIL
Grand Forks, and one of the recognized lead
ers of local sentiment, on a recent visit to
Bismarck, made this statement to the Tribune
which, however, may be colored to some ex-
tent by factional feeling: s'When asked re-
garding the reported dissatisfaction existing
among the farmers of the Red River valley,
Mr.. Wilder said that the reports were greatly
exaggerated, and but little if any dissatisfac-
ton existed. The so called farmers con-
ventions were engineered by the editor Of
the Grand Forks Herald, City Clerk Collins,
and few professional politicians who are
seeking personal political advancement at
the expense of an unwarranted agitation.
The movement was engineered for the pur-
pose of affecting the nominations for mem
bers of the next legislature, DR.. Collins hop
ing to succeed Hon. Geo. H. Walsh as
member of the territorial council He is,
however, already doomed to disappointment,
as the nomination will be rendered Mr..
Walsh by all the counties in the district

lMoral of the Election.

This from the Wahpeton Gazette is about
the only attempt noted to extract a moral
from the Fargo city elections:
''In Fargo, we notice, there is quite a strife
over the city mayoralty. We see in this the
elimination of the boom, and expect to see
it now recede. There is strong protest there
arising against boom methods, and we be-
heve the days of public booming are past.
By this we do not mean that the city will
cease to grow as fast as it has in years gone
by Nothing of this kind. We simply
mean that hereafter the main object of local
government will not be to advertise the city.
we mean that the test of public works will be
utility, and that this thing and that thing will
not be done simply to advertise the place
by showing what it could do; but that every
thing will be governed by the consideration,
is there demand for this thing! We do
not think that this is a sign of Fargo's de-
cline, either in population or importance
but it is only the natural effort to slough off
the extravagant boom methods and get down
to solid basis. In other words Fargo Is
trying to get at her trial balance, so she will
know how she stands. This is a good sign,
and means solidifed business, permanent
prosperity, durable Importance

Montana Notes.

1t has been announced through the London
Tablet and the Catholic Mirror of Baltimore
that the new diocese of Montana has been
created, and that the Right Rev. John Bap-
tist Brondel, bishop of Vancouver Island and
administrator apostolic of the yicarate of
Montana, now becomes bishop of Montana,
with the title of Bishop of Montana
This incident, related by the Bozeman
Chronicle, relates to one of the most exemp-
larry society young men of that place: Con
last Saturday night, as one Of the ladies who
reside on ''piety hill'' had occasion to go to
an adjoining room to get some milk for one
of the babies, she unconsciously stepped on
the PROSTATE form of a man. AS she was in
her bare feet the shock to her nervous system
can be imagined. The man turned out to be
a prominent young man of Bozeman, whose
condition was such as to make him mistake
the house he intended going to.

A Heavy Hanging.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 4.-Henry Rose,
colored, was hanged to-day at noon at osce-
ola, Ark, ninety miles above here, for as
sassinating Dempsey Taylor, prominent col
ored man living short distance in the coun-
a year ago. Taylor was shot through a win
room. Rose was detected shortly afterwards
by the means of a pair of socks which he
wore on the night of the killing. A large
crowd of negroes witnessed the execution.
The condemned man confessed his guilt on
the scaffold, advised the large crowd present
to take warning by his fate. A three quarter
inch rope was used by Sheriff Haskins, as
Rose weighed 200 pounds, and his neck was
broken by the fall

Bucking against the tiger is hereafter to be
included among the forbidden pleasures in
saltwater On Friday night all the gambling
houses in the city were closed by the chief of
police. In compliance with the orders of his
honor the mayor.
1t is understood that an effort will be made
to make the new ordinance increasing the
license fee retroactive to orders to reach those
lucky individuals whose permits have six
months or nearly year to run, or as it is
claimed, to equalize the license.
1t is estimated that fully half million
dollars worth of agricultural implements
pass through this city every year, destined to
points tributary to Saltwater. The question
very naturally occurs, why can not all kinda
of farm machinery be manufactured here?
The grand success achieved by the Minnesota
Chief threshing machine may be taken as an
indication of what may be accomplished in
this line in Saltwater by simply producing a
machine of superior merit.

A Sheriff R,eSipns.

Sheriff Urness, of Douglas county, has ten
dered his resignation to Gov. Hubbard to
take effect May Is. Mr.. Urness declined to
resign before the hearing of testimony, and
the reasons which have changed his mind
are conjectrural. Perhaps the proof against
him was stronger than he anticipated. Per-
haps he preferred the certainty of going out
of office May Is, at the expiration of the
business of term of court, rather than run
a risk of going in the midst of term, as he
must if the governor should determine case
for removal to have been established 1t
now lies with Gov. Hubbard to accept the
resignation or act upon the charges and the
proof. The time fixed for the change of
sheriffs would be more convenient for all
concerned with the business of the court than
an earlier date.

PERU SPEAKS UP.
She Gives the English to Understand
That She Will Not be Bulldozed
nv Threats

PANAMA, March 27.-The Peruvian minis
ter of foreign affairs, replying to the protest
of the English to the clause in the treaty of
peace between Chill and Peru, ceding the
| nitrate and guano beds to Chill, which Eng
land claimed was guaranteed as payment of
the Peruvian debt, says, in substance, that
Peru, when negotiating the treaty, acted in
virtue Of the right she possessed for self
government, right acknowledged from
the moment of her independence by all ma
tions, and she cannot consent to any foreign
interference, without wounding her rights as
sovereign and independent state, and with
out abdicating or jeopardizing those preroga-
tives which she has always respected in other
nations so that she has not consulted, nor
does she consider herself obliged to consult
with them regarding her treaties, lest
she might endanger the leases OF
her brown proper exi tence. The debts orig
ginated from loans effected with private
parties regarding whose nationality the
Government thought proper to enquire,
as those debts have never assumed an
international character Although they
may now be partly held in English hands,
yet at any time they may be transferred to
persons of any other nationality. Peru owes
nothing to England as a government or
state, and consequ ntly the loans referred
to cannot be made the subject of diplomatic
interference. 1t is matter of public noto-
riety, that for four years past, the mortgaged
property has not been in the possession of
Peru, yet during that time cargoes of nitrate
and guano from the property have been sold
in foreign ports, without protest on the
part of the nations now making protest, al
though Peru sought to embargo those car
goes abroad. If, after the war, Peru found
herself obliged to sacrifice property consti-
tuting mortgage, she has so proceeded for
her own preservation, which is the first and
most imperative duty of the state.

those who have lately gone west will return.

theirs of st. Paul are holding mission at the

The dudes have secured seventy-fve
torches from st. Paul, and with band of
music Saturday night, expect to take the town
by storm for their candidate for mayor. The
election is next Monday, and it will be a re-
lief to the community when it is over. A
good deal of bad feeling grows out of it, and
pulpit teachings fall upon heavy ears. The
best judges do not believe it will be a one
sided affair, although every man thinks has
candidates are sure to wit. The doctors are
making something out of the contest in the
shape of cost of repair of broken heads,
caused by too vigorous arguments.
a gentleman from Fargo has just received
a letter from Vim. Edwin Adams, author of
the popular book "Our American Cousins
and editor of the -the-Tyne,
CEngland,) Chronicle, in which he says that
the address by Col. Donan on Dakota, before
the house of commons at Washington, is
published in his paper and widely circulated
in the old country. He regards it as one of
the best presentations of the advantages and
character of this new country yet made, and
it must prove of immense advantage to
Dakota. The Globe had the most accurate
report of that speech published in the west.
Col. D. is now at Fargo beseiged with appli-
cations to take charge of daily papers, rang
ing from South Dakota to Texas. The col
onel owns beautiful tract of land on DEVILS
Lake, adjoining the summer resort of Min
nemaphan and he is urged to establish a

ment it would be made very popular. He
left for Pierre last night.
