BUCKEYE TEMPERANCE.

It took the state of Ohio great many
years to get around to a liquor law that
would stand a judicial test. But at last the
Buckeyes have hit it. as the supreme court
of that state has recently sustained the Dow
law. The trouble has been in getting a
LIQUOR law to conform with clause in the
original draft of the state constitution. a
clause which has been more observed in the
breach than in the observance, provid-
ing that the manufacture and sale
Of liquor should never be licensed.
When this clause was inserted the trainers
of the constitution were innocent enough to
imagine that it would forever prohibit the
liquor traffic in the state. How far it has
failed of its purpose is part of current
history. The various laws passed by the
various legislatures, attempting to regulate
the liquor traffic, have one after another
fallen beneath judicial construction. as the
courts invariably decided that in some form
or other they amounted practically to Ii
cense laws. The failure of the legislatures
to enact a liquor law that would hold
good was the cause of the rapid
growth of the Prohibition party in
that state. Perceiving that the Prohibi-
ton vote was splitting The Republican
party into kindling wood, the Republican
leaders set their wits to work to patch up a
law that would conform with the constitu-
ton. The Dow law was the result of that
effort, and it is now declared valid by the
highest judicial body Of the state. Conse-
quently, the Buckeye state will take rest
for while Oh the temperance issue.

Mesmrr:z,ng "a ben of Lions.

London Telegraph.
A frightful scene has just taken place at
Dion. A mesmerist. NJ. TOrcy, accom-
panied by his subject. cataleptic young
person, named Mile. Lucia, entered a cage
of lions in Signor Salva's menagerie. The
animals seemed at first quite stupe-
fed on seeing strange persons be-
fore them. but they soon began to
show their molar broads;des and to pre-
pare for action. NJ. Torcy lost no time,
and ha wing sent Mile. Lucia into a mag
netic trance he told her to fix her gaze on
the beasts and to place her arms before
them, which she did with perfect impun-
ity. She was then plunged into cata-
Ieptic tit. her body was stiffened. and her
feet and legs fastened to two stools.
The animals, goaded by the
keepers and by vigorous trusts
from NJ. Torcy's sticks, were made
to Jump several times over the young wo-
mans body. This inhuman exercise was
continued until the audience, wound up to
the highest pitch of terror and excitement,
owing to the ominous growing of the in
furiated lions. cried out, Enough! The
three actors in this extraordinary scene
were loudly acclaimed by the spectators.

sENAToRLOGAN DYING.

The announcement of the probably fatal
illness of Senator LOGAN will carry sad
ness to many households III which his
name has been familiar for a quarter OF a
century. Distinguished in public life and as
soldier. he has gathered around him fol-
lowing devoted to his interests and earnest
in their ardor for his political advance
ment A man of strong personality and
indomitable vigor. he has presented an ex-
cellent type of true Western manhood
In his life he has illustrated the
possibilities open to American youth. He
has stamped himself upon the history of
his country. and his memory will not soon
fade out. In his death not only will the
old soldier and the partisan mourn, but the
entire country may well feel that it loses a
worthy representative Of class of citizens
which is all too small. Senator LOGAN is
not great man. but he is man who,
ear nest of purpose and energetic in en-
deavor, believes in doing with all his might
whatever seems right to him to do. and
such man can i'll be spared.

ingtonT Territory. while she elected C.S. Voor-
hees. Democrat, delegate by 1000 major
ity, elected a Republican legislature by two
thirds on joint ballot, clearly showing that
she is Republican. So it is argued that both
of these territories may be admitted and yet
maintain the political equilibrium of the
senate. Montana had hoped that the COM
promise could be made on Dakota. but this
is beyond question while that great territory
is divided in council on the diviseion issue.
The recent appointment of an outsider for
governor to succeed S. T. Hauser. resigned,
has thoroughly aroused the popular spirit in
Montana for statehood, that the territory may
enjoy the rights and privileges of self-gov
eminent. The people there, irrespective of
party, desire statehood, and claim it as their
right.

PEACE ON EARTH.

This is one Christmas that universal
peace reigns throughout the Earth. 1t is a
phenomenal calm. Turn where we will,
the ear catches no sound of war. All the
nations and tribes of earth are at peace with
each other What does it mean? Does 1t
signify the approach of the millennium, or is
1t only the stiffness which presages the i'm
pending storm? The situation is an inter-
esting study. The present generation has
observed marked tendency On the part of
all nations toward pacific policy. The old
time idea that war was the only remedy
for national ills has been discarded. The
new international treatment is one of pacl-
fication. Cancellation and compromise have
supplanted the sword and the spear as the
arbiter of international differences. Recog-
milton Of the universal brotherhood of man.
kind is now the most successful diplomacy.
Maritime power prefers to trust to the laws
of supply and demand for the protection of
their ports than to Notifications and war
ships
And yet beneath all this apparent amity
and good will among the nations of the
earth can be detected conditions which are
liable to burst forth at any time into the
6ercest hostilites. Never was the exercise
of delicate diplomacy SO essential to avert
an open rupture between European nations
as that which is required to stay the dogs of
war in the complications which have grown
put of the Eastern question. Russia,
England, Austria and Germany each stands
ready to touch the match to the gun, whose
roar would awaken the Old World to the
bloodiest conflict of all ages. Like lion in
wait for its prey. France crouches ready
TO spring at the throat of Germany the
moment the opportunity offers. The dis
grace of Sedan cannot go unavenged much
longer. The fires of civil war are burning
In the heart of Britain. Ireland's oppres-
sion is no longer tolerable. and England
must concede home rule or take the fatal
consequences of a refusal. Our own country
is not entirely exempt from the war spirit.
Recent Disbursements with our neighbOrs to
the north and to the south Of US
have served to kindle just a little
bit of the war flame within our
own borders. So, taking it altogether,
the situation presents an interesting prob
lem We are at a loss to understand
whether the phenomenal peace that prevails
ut this Christmas season betokens the per-
manent establishment of the era of peace
on earth and good will toward men," sc
long ago proclaimed by the angelic Chris
tians. or whether it means the horrible still
ness which precedes the fury Of the tenn
pest.
The wish may be father to the thought,
nevertheless we are inclined to accept the
former meaning. The progress of civiliza-
ton has brought US to that stage in human
history when beating swords into plow-
shares is more logical than converting
pruning hooks into spears. The philosophy
of our civilization points to the establish
ment Of a permanent era of international
amity.

THE TWO ORDINATIONS.


In the Arabic version of the Gospels of
the Infancy is the story of how the boys of
Bethlehem were wont to adorn the head of
their playfellow, the young CHRIST, with a
crown wreathed of flowers, and how. like
attendants waiting on king, they stood in
order before Him on His right hand and on
His left. And whoever passed that way
the boys took him by force. crying, Come
hither and adore the King. and then proceed
upon thy way"
In our accepted version of the Gospels til e
story is told of how. on the day of cruel
fixion, the CHRIST was led forth from Pilates
court His brow pierced with crown of
thorns, while the rude Roman soldiers in
mockery clad Him in royal purple and
placed the hollow sceptre in His hand.
1t is noteworthy that in our observance
of the Savlors natal day we should have
observed the Arabic tradition in place of
our own historical account. The Christmas
of to-day is the children's festival. In
imitation of the boys of Bethlehem they
crown their CHRIST with flOwery wreaths
1t is beautiful idea that suggests it. 1t is
delightful exhibition of the grateful
homage of young hearts to their Amounted.
The Bethlehem coronation is more worthy
of remembrance than the one in PLATE s
court.
There are so many Gethsemanes and
Calvarys in our life experience that the
oldest of US are glad enough to return one
day in the year to the resttul precincts OF
youthful remembrance and join with the
children in wearing flowery coronet for
the Prince of the House OF DAVID.
And then the freshness of childish sim
cerity is delicious incense in comparison
with the hollow mockery of Journalism.

Tiger Hill.


The circus season is over, and number
Of people who have been on the road are
making their temporary headquarters in
this city. A few OF the g1ild happened to
assemble at John Clancy'G Saturday after
neon, and entertained each with renlinis-
cences of their summer work.
when we were at Olean," said Tom
Dolphin, who was with Pollman's circus,
I'VE picked up a gigantic lumberman named
William Pike, who had never been further
west than Michigan. We proceeded to bill
him as Tiger Bill noted and
reformed desperate. He was an aw-
fully big fellow, but as tender as chicken,
and wouldn't dare to shoot cat. At
Johnstown we got five or six tame Indians
and painted them up to kill. Then we
started Wild West show to top off the per-
Torrance. Tiger Bill was announced as
the best shot. and. altogether. the most re-
markable cowboy of the age. He would
come into the ring. sniff. cry. 'ha. l smell
Injuns, and then stalk stealthily along UNI
til he discovered them lying In ambush,
when he would blaze away and kill all but
one or two, whom he would finish with
knife. The audience was assured that he
obtained his name from the fact that he once
killed three tigers on the plains with one
shot. He loved to impress people with the
notion that he was very tough cusS.
Every hotel we'd go to he'd say to the
waitress in deep voice, which you could
hear all over the room:
:. Bring two pounds of raw beef and
pint of blood
1.-The girl would reply that she couldn't
get the blood, and he would resignedly ask
for milk instead. The raw beef he ate
right along. don't think he liked it. but
he worried it down in good style. After
while, in addition to his wild West show
act we got him to do feats OF mark sman
ship. He would knock the pipe out of the
mouth of the man smoking it or brush the
ashes off cigar with his trusty revolver.
The weapon was loaded with
blank cartridges, and the moment
he fired the other man would
bite the pipestem in two or bite the cigar
so suddenly that the ashes would tumble
OFF. One night when Tiger Bill had in
spired the audience more than usual with
sense of his ferocity, he essayed to shoot
the ash off cigar in the mouth of one Of
the boys, who, for the fun of the thing
wouldn't disturb the ash. but kept smoking
the cigar as cool as before. Tiger Bill
fired four or five unsuccessful shots, and
then the audience began to laugh and hiss,
and he ran off in rage"

TAKES THE BLUE RIBBON.
The Christmas Issue of the GlOb'
Eclipses any reviOus Effort b.
any Northwestern Newspaper.


EcIipses auy reviOus Effort by
any Northwestern Newspapers.
The people of the Northwest are not
slow in showing their appreciation of any,
thing that possesses merit. This is amply
demonstrated by the manner in which they
received the Christmas number of the
GLOBE yesterday. The presses had no
sooner started than the demand began, and
it was with difficulty the carriers could be
supplied, SO eager were the newSbOyS and
the early risers to be first served. After
this rush was over and the carriers
ad been started out, the great demand be-
gan. The pubic commenced to flock in by
scores for extra copies, and the newsboyS
sold their stocks as fast as they could carry
, them out OH the streets. The GLOBE had
almost clear field in the way of street
sales, and the newsdealers and newsbOys
reaped rich harvest. Hot cakes" would
be no comparison as to the way
they went off. Everybody wanted one
or a half dozen or more copies,
and the counting room force of the GLOBE
was kept busy during the entire day and
far into the night. The mailing of copies
to friends outside the city-in all parts of
the world-waS begun early in the day, and
it was not long before the hotel mail boxes
and those on the lamp posts on the princi-
| pal streets were piled around with tinted
GLOBES in wrappers. This work will go
on with renewed vigOr to- day, and during
the week. and there will be put few spots
| in the civilized world that is not reached by
| this pink messenger carrying the glad
tidings of the progress of the Twin Cities of
the Northwest. This edition of the GLOBE
was the largest ever issued northwest Of
! Chicago by any newspaper or publication,
and exceeded the edition of last year by at
least One-fourth 1t was pronounced sue
cess in every way, and the GLOBE is thank
full that the public so generously
testified to what they believed to
be a good thing. AS showing the wonder

a healthy evidence of the liberality and

fiattering reception accorded it. In st.

come in, and when the returns are all in
from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Dakota,

The GLOBE has accomplished this purpose.

ANNEXATION AND ADMISSION.

ANNEXATION AND ADMISSION.
One of the issues which will come up for
the consideration and determination of con-
gress. in connection with the admission of
the territories of Montana and Washington
as states, is the segregation of the Pan
handle of Idaho and annexation to either
Montana or Washington. The Panhandle
district embraces the Ceur d'Alene country,
the recently discovered, but very rich min
ing region, the discovery of whose placers
created such a Juror three years ago. Sur
face developments alone since that time
have disclosed the fact that the whole dis
trict is fabulously rich in gold and silver
bearing quartz. There are now in
the district at least five thousand
men, as was shown by the returns
at the late election there. One of
the issues of the campaign. and one might
add the supreme issue. was segregation
from Idaho and annexation to Montana.
and the vote was almost a unit on the
affirmative of the question. The arguments
in favor OF annexation to Montana instead
of to Washington are Montana has code of
mineral laws adapted to the only industry
of that section, whereas Washington. being
an agricultural and numbering territory. has
not The people of the Panhandle are al
most wholly old Montanains, and in sympa-
thy with the people of the mountain terri
tory. And again, they are anxious to have
the advantage of Montana's advertising as
the great mineral territory. Besides the Pan
handle people do business in Montana. They
secure their currency from the banks of
Helena for their gold dust, and Hele ma
capitalists are building railway and fur
nishing other transportation facilities for the
whole Ceur d'Alene country in addition
to the capital they are contributing for the
development of the mines in the way of
putting in expensive plants Of machinery
for reducing the ores. The contest
between Washington Territory and Mon
tana over this annexation question
is a serious obstacle to the admission of
these two territories as states at this ses-
sion. If this question can be compromised
the chances for their coming into the sister
hood together are very good indeed. Mon
tana not only reelected Delegate TOole,
Democrat, by an increased majority. but
secured control of the legislature on joint
ballot. and the organic provisions for state
hood having been perfected by the adoption
of a constitution, the territory is ready
flor the honors of statehood. Taking
her vote of November with the
five per cent. population estimate
she has a fraction over 161, 600 people

November Marriages in Holland.

Of the twelve months in the year Novem-

land to be by far the most important. The
four Sundays of this month are known re-
spectively as Review Sunday, Decision
Sunday, Purchase Sunday and Possession
Sunday, names which sufficiently explain
the purposes to which each is put by the
young people. On Review Sunday the
unmarried girls and young men, after the
morning service, walk up and down staring
at one another to their hearts content.

which their courtesy is responded to whether
success or defeat is to be their lot. The
third Sunday is devoted to the less roman

parents and arranging in business-lke
fashion the details of the marriage settle
ment. The stern hearts of those in author
ity having been satisfactorily subdued, all
the following week the parson is busy at
marrying, but not until Possession Sunday
comes round are the happy betrothed per-

at most an affectionate squeeze Of the
