the Union Signal and State papers meeting
local necessities and finally the immense
impetus given to crystallizing temperance
sentiment into powerful organization by
the nomination of st. John and Daniel, all
mark this year as an epoch greater than
any predecessor.
Six great National Conventions have
been approached by our representatives.
The International Sunday-school Conven-
ton at Louisville. with ]. 800 delegates, and
the National Educational Convention at
Madison with 5000 teachers in attendance,
have both responded heartily to our re-
quests. The Memorial of the American
Home. for Protection from the American
Saloon asking for a plank in platform
committing the party to national constitu-
tional prohibition, and for candidates com
mitted by character and public pledge to
the submission of such amendment, was
disregardcd by all the presidential nomi-
mating conventions save that of the Prohi-
bition party. which. endorsing our memori-
al. nominated the well known temperance
champions Ex-Governor st. John of Kan
sas, and Hon William Daniel of Maryland.
We stand to-day upon the heights of
answered prayers that assembled in May last
from North and South alike. through all
orr borders.
With grateful hearts to God for all the
hopes by which our way is frightened, we
call upon you TO send your delegates to the
eleventh annual convention on the follow
ing basis (see article III of our Constitu-
tion):
The annual meeting shall be composed
of the executive committee, the State cor
responding and recording secretaries and
treasurers, the national superintendent of
departments, the editor and publisher of
our official organ, one delegate at large
from each auxiliary State, and one dele
gate for every five hundred paying mem
bers of State Unions. Territories and the
District of Columbia will be represented
on the same basis.
We are invited by the State W. c. T. |.
of Missouri and the local union of St Louis
to be their guests. and our convention will
be held October 22-25. The executive com
mittee will meet October 30 at 10 \. NJ,
place to be announced later. Meetings
will be held in the churches of st. Louis on
the Sabbaths preceding and following the
convention.
Each morning from to 10 all business
will be put aside and a prayer and conse-
Grafton meeting will be held under the care
of Mrs. Hannah Whtall Smith.
The corresponding secretary of each
State viii send the name of delegates and
altemates to Mrs. Caroline B. Buell.. 16
/ East 14th St, New York. who will supply
all States with blank credentials for the
delegates.
Beloved sisters, we are moved in heart to
appoint at this time Tuesday, the 18th of
October, as a day of prayer for the conven-
! ton, that ii may be the most earnest and
effective temperance meeting ever held on
this continent; that the crusade fire may
burn in all eur hearts, that a Pentecostal
blessing may rest upon the land we love,
and that men committed to the cause of
prohibition may become the governmental
/ leaders throughout our nation.

In suspendiug a naval officer for the
offence of drunkenness, Secretary Chandler
accompanies his action with a rcprimand,
in which he says: Every naval officer
whose use of Intoxicating liquors becomes
50 excessive that his superiors cause him
to be tried and convicted of drunkenness
should be sentenced to dismissal, and the
sentence should be inexorably carried into
execution. Whatever charity or assistance
may be extended to such officers should be
given when they reach some other walk of
life than the naval service. They are
worthless members OF their profession and
should, in every case, be forced off the
active list of the navy"

Chairman OF Republican County Convention


st, Paul Day: Much is being said
just now, about the relative rights Of
railroads, elevator men, and wheat grow
ers. The whole question is yelled in a
mist Of misrepresentation which nothing
short OF thorough legislative investiga
can dissipate. One of the first acts of
the incoming Legislature should lie tie
appointment of a special committee
whose duty it shall be to take testimony,
make personal :. examination and report
by bill OF Otherwise, setting forth fully
the results. Then the assrnbled legisia.
tive wisdom Of the state should carefully
digesl*the whole question and take such
action as shall seem equitable and right.
Ofcoursa defects may and must necessa,
rily be developed in any such measure
10y the practical application of the act,
which map be cured by amenment at the
next session. The grievance Of the wheat
grower is so great that the movement TO
give him the redress he is entitled to can.
not be started too quickly nor pushed
too indusriously. In making Legislative
selections too the producer sh ould not
make the mistake of securing political
plotters who will work for their own
aggrandizement The question is ore
which will naturally bring the dema.
gogue to the. front, and he should he
suppressed at the very outset.

CheaD Chicken Feed.

Duluth TRIBUNE: Sume ot the farm.
ers of the West have complained that the
wheat they ship to Dulnth does not
"hold out' as it should do. An illustea
of how great the shrinkage really is was
seen at elevator B yesterday. Six. clean
ers in that house are now run nearly all
the time, and from one Of them yester,
day we saw taken one bushel of wild
backwheat in one minute. The eleva-
tor men assure us that the whea from
which this refuse matter. was taken was
no worse than the average. So much of
this stuff is taken from the grain before
it is shipped that it is burned and used
to fill the elevator docks. This would
be q grand place for chicken hatchery
and poultry yard, where so much good
feed can be had for the hauling.

A few days ago the leading Demo:
cratic paper in the state derisively
inquired as to the whereabouts of the
aggressive campaign which Republi
cans claimed that Mr.. Blaine would
inaugurate utter his nomination and
maintain until election. The returns
from Ohio will no doubt fix the loca-
ton Of a portion Of Blaine's aggressive
campaign. 1t has proved remarkably
successful in the Northern states
which have held elections this year.

The people Of Ohio have given their
verdict On the Mulligan letters. AT
the commencement Of the Ohio cam
paign few weeks ago the old Multi
gan letters were republ1shed, and new
ones brought to light. Blaine claimed
that o general knowledge of the con-
tents ofall Of those letters would do
him no damage, and the splendid re-
suit of the OHIO election sustains Mr..
Blaine's judgement in believing that
nothing dishonorable could be found
in his numerous private business and
political letters which were treacher-
ouslY made bublic.

Will spokane Celebrate ?

The query has often been pro-
pounded to us Of late, "Win Sb{lxane
Falls celebrate the approaching 4th
Of July ?" We are not prepared at
the present writing to answer either
negatively or atfirmatively. 1t re-
quires a vast amount of chinning,
button-hOling, explaining, commit
tee work, and general rustling to get
up celebration, and in order to set
the ball rolling a heavy draw must
be made on the public stock of en-
thusiasm and the private purse. A
celebration Is always conducive of a
large surplus of fun spread out over
large concourse of people, but the
question afterwards arises does the
sum total of sport balance the ex-
pense, worry and trouble incident to
public demonstration? Our voice
has always been in favor of a worthy
recognition Of the great American
holiday and this year we would be
pleased to see the people of the Falls
step forward and do the honors in
good style. The celebration last
year was one that will not soon be
forgotten, and perhaps the citizens
would prefer TO rest on the laVrels
won at that time until at least an
other year. However il the people
at large feel that the bird should do
its screeching in this place we say
let him screech. Furthermore il a
celebration is considered indispens-
able it is high time that preparations
should be commenced for carrying
out a project Of the kind successfully.
A. 4th Of July hurrah cannot be car
ried out without a big amount Of
work, and as the very best Of COM
mittees are generally more or less
dilatory il behooves those desirOus
Of taking stock in the show to gather
together, form their plans and COM
mence pushing. If II is decided to
celebrate let it be in manner befit-
ting the town in which we live, and
If It be carried on upon that scale the
cOmmemUratiOn will in every re-
spect be ahead Of any similar demon
stratiOr ever witnessed in the upper
country. To celebrate, or not to
celebrate, that Is the question, and It
Is one that wants to be answered
quick and that in manner not to
be mistaken,

Again Tied Up.

The complications in which D. w.
Small and the Montana Improve
ment Company are mixed took an
other phase this week, creating fod-
der for discussion, worry for all
parties concerned and fat fees tor the
legal fraternity. Last week the prop
erty in the shape Of the lumber
yards Of the company at Srague,
Cheney and this place were attached
for $500 by d. w. Small. The
necessary bonds were given and the
yards released, but early this week
the property was again tied up by a
suit for $4,000 damages brought
against the corporation by Mr.. Small
The managers Of the company were
by no means paralyzed by the blow,
for they soon had some fifty car loads
Of lumber under way for this station
and a new lumber yard was opened
alongside of the railroad. There is
no predicting the termination OF the
case, and as the difficulty is to go be-
fore the courts for adjudication, it
should be left for that tribunal to pass
Judgment upon its merits. The par
ties interested are well known along
the line of the Northern Pacific. The
Montana Improvement Company is
composed of a syndicate of capital
lists living at various cities in the
Northwest. 1t was organized about
a year ago with an alleged capital of
$2,OOO,OOO, for the purpose of manu-
featuring building material, with
the chief mills in Montana and
Idaho. Agencies have been estab-
lished at all points Of any importance
along the road east and west, and a
vast amount Of material is shipped
as far as Salt Lake. The business
has been conducted on a large scale
and from what we can learn the en-
terprise has been a success from the
very start. d. w. Small Is a resi-
dent of Walla Walla, and one Of the
pioneers Of that city. He has been
in the lumber business for a number
of years and has been very fortunate
in all Of his enterprises. He is now
operating saw mills in Idaho and
Montana. He sets forth that the
Montana Improvement Company en-
tered into a contract with him in
which he was to furnish a a4certain
, 1884-05-24

Stipulated amount of lumber. That
the corporation only took a small
portion Of the total quantity and that
his loss therefrom equals $4,000, the
sum for which he sues. The whole
case is civil procedure, but the
prominence of the parties and the
amount involved is such as to awak-
en- considerable interest. The man
ayers of the corporation are not Of
the stuff to tamely submit and give
up without a struggle, and the in
gredient tenacity is not lacking in
the composition of the plaintiff, SO
that it is probable that the proceed
ings thus instituted will lead to a
protracted legal war, the end of
which is beyond the ken of man, al
though we hope the trouble may yet
be amicably adjusted.
