TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION.

Temperance agitation began very early
in the history of America. In fact there
has hardly been period in American his
tory when temperance legislation of some
sort did not prevail. The Pilgrim Fathers
had scarcely landed and commenced house
keeping before they commenced to legislate
on the rum traffic. In 1857 law was
passed in Massachusetts which aimed to re-
strain Incorporate drinking, and a similar
one was passed by Connecticut. In 1860 a
law was passed which prohibited the use
liquor at funerals. 1t is curious to observer
however, that the pioneer temperance agi-.
tators did not advocate total abstinence.
They were in favor of taking a dram now
and then, but they wanted it mild. They
never thought of excluding wine, beer and
cider from use. In fact their
primitive notions would shock the
prohibitiOnists of this day. In Boston
the first temperance reformers built a
brewery for the accommodation of the
members of the society. Their idea was to
show 10 the world that temperance meant a
moderate indulgence of the good things of
this life. The first regularly organized
temperance association was i'm Connecticut
in 1889 by two hundred Litchfeld farm
ers, who adopted resolution mot to Use
any distilled liquors in doing their farm
work" They confined prohibition to the
distilled liquors and to the farm. In 1910
the Washingtonians were organized, and
in 1852 the Good Templars. The first pro-
hibitory law was passed by the Tennessee
legislature in 1888, but didn't hold good
very long. It has been the history of
temperance agitation that whenever
the movement was allied with politics il
died a speedy death. And as prohibition
cannot exist without becoming a political
question there is not much prospect for

WHEAT AND FIOuR.

Although the export of flour has very
greatly increased within the last five years,
so that the greater proportion of wheat sent
abroad now goes in the form of flour, the
relative price of wheat and flour remains
about the same. From this fact the New
York Tribune argues that the efforts to adj
vance the price of wheat are purely specu-
lative and will not be successful unless there
is a sufficient demand for flour to lift it to
a considerable higher price. The Tribune
gives the following comparisons: Four
years ago the best patent flour sold at So
a barrel, and the same -four sells now at Sc.
But No. red winter wheat four years ago
sold at S1.32, and the same wheat sells now
at 80 cents. Four years ago spring wheat
extra flour sold at S.. Is, and superfine from
81. 80 to $3.50. Now the spring wheat ex-
ira sells at So. 80 to 81, and the superfine at
So to $3.S5. But four years ago the price
of No. 2 Chicago spring in this market
was S1.26, and now it is "a cents. 1t
is reckoned that barrel of flour is
equivalent in consumption or i'm export to
AZ bushels of wheat. -Four years ago the
average cost of wheat i'm barrel of -four
was S5.s0l, and on the same date the
average cost of ten different qualities of
flour was s5.So1f. But the average cost of

A NOVEL CASE.

A novel and interesting question has just
been decided by Judge WEsTBROoK of the
supreme court of New York. The effect of
the decision is that an individual has not
the legal right to announce himself on his
sign as ''late with" so and so, his former
employer. The case, as stated by New
York newspaper, Is as follows: a ieweleT,
who had been employed in jewelry store,
opened shop of his own in the same town.
On his sign and business cards he used the
words Late with JAMES p. VAN WICK"
The latter complained that the effect Of this
announcement would be TO take away his
customers and injUe his trade. There was
no allegation of fraud. Judge WESTBRooK
held that the defendant had no right to
make such use of the name of his former
employer. He says: Nothing is more
completely the property of man than his
name. No person can use it without the
owners consent. The use Of the plaintiffs
name TO make conspicuous the rival bust
ness and the name of the defendant is a
clear violation of the property rights of the
plaintiff" Judge WESTBRooK reaches
this conclusion by reasoning and does not
cite any authority or precedent The sound
ness of the decision is questioned by the
Herald, which says that ''when
person has been for a long time
in the service of a business house
or firm widely and favorably known
that fact raises the presumption OF his capa-
bility to carry on the same business for
himself. 1t is a fact which, in the absence
of fraud or unfair dealing. he has right to
announce TO the public. In music or art il
would seem ridiculous to deny to a person
the right truthfully 10 represent himself or
herself as the pupil of a well-known teacher
or artist. The principle is the same i'm bust
ness. This view of the law has been taken
by our court of appeals A firm of dentists
dissolve partnership. One continued bust
ness in the same place, the other opened
another office. The court of appeals held
that the former had no right to represent
himself as successor to the late firm, since
such was not the fact. But said the
court. he may lawfully describe himself as
formerly or late OF that firm. He would
thus state simply fact belongingto his own
life, as much so as If he We're TO give the
time or place of his birth. the name of his
father or instructor OF the college from
which he graduated. All this might be done
in good faith"

DAKoTA's RAPID INCREASE.

In considering the question of rapid in
crease in population, we should not over
look the thrifty territory of Dakota.
which beats the record. The first count Of
the South Dakota canvass added to the
North Dakota returns shows an increase
since 1850 of 257, $50. The total population
of the territory, according 10 these figures.
is ALB, 1853, as against 1875. III less than five
years ago. This would seem to be sufficient
credentials for the admission of the great
territory TO the dignity of statehood if she
can agree with herself that that is the goal
of her ambition. Her increase i'm material
development. based upon her great resources
and the thrift and energy of her people. has
been even in a greater ratio. And yet her
wide range of agricultural area is still open
and inviting to the millions who would have
homes of their own. Destiny has marked
out for this great domain at least two states.
and, on the basis of population, these might
be assured now. With the taking up of
wild lands under the laws. and the purchase
of lands from the grant railroads and the
division of the bonanza farms among the
masses of the people, the territory will TEEN
with population. and cities and towns will
spring up on sections which are now I'M
broken by the plow. No country has a
greater future than the great territory of
Dakota.

the AZ bushels of wheat is now S4.34. and
the average cost of the same ten qualities OF
flour is now S4.S71E. Ii appears, too. that
the decline in prices has not been regular or
equal, for in 1882, about this date, the av-
erage cost of ten barrels of flour was S5.7s.
but the cost of the wheat was only S5.0S.
Again, in August, 1888, the average cost Of
the flour was S5.111E, while the average
cost of the wheat was S5.211I. One year
ago the average cost of flour was S4.5S.
while the cost of the wheat was S4.O5. At
that time wheat was much lower than it is
now, and was relatively too low for the
price of flour. Now. the difference between
the two in relative price is comparatively
small, the relation being substantially the
same as in August, 1881, when flour and
wheat both cost S5.sO5<, against S4.34 or
S4.371S at the present time.
