The Federal Council Of switzerland has
just made a report on the liquor traffic,
induced by petitions for legislation against
such traffic. Statistics show that the con-
sumption of brandy among the Swiss is
increasing, and that parallel with this
there Is an increase of mental diseases,
and an increase Of misery and wait. In
spite Of all this, the council refuses to rec
ommend restrictive legislation. 1t states
that the sales of liquor in Switzerland rep
resent an annual return of 80, 100000
francs. In one clause of its report, headed
"The Advantages of Spurious Drinks"
the council is outspoken in defence of So
cial drinking. Among other eXtraordi-
nary statements, it says: "Ihe practice
of social drinking OF srirituous liquors
brings cheerful temper into society, eff
faces the traces of daily labor, opens the
heart to other impressions, and is init.
,natcly associated with the development of
public life. The public house fosters in
tellectual activity, and is remedy against
misanthropy, egotism, vanity, narrowness
of iGeas and extravaganza of magma
ton" The report has taken the country
by surprise.

LIE Suenr Sentinel. It is one of the
most disgraceful facts in the history of
Minnesota that a very large proportion of
the large number Of acres of pine lands
within her limits should have been allow
ed to be stolen bodily by small number
OF speculative lumbermen and their po-
litical friends, SO that the ownership of
the pine lands has not only become a
monopoly, but has caused the formation
of a political ring that with few others.
dominates the State and shapes it's legis-
lation for personal ends. All the u. S.
land offices in the pine land districts and
the Surveyor General of the State have
connived at this gigantic theft of the
government pine lands, by giving certain
parties access to the plats of surveys in
the offices named before the public at
large had any knowledge of the, lands
being ready for purchase, and allowing
Them to advance filings on all the choice
lands. ~
