fsmperaaco Education In the Territories.

The national temperance educa-
ton statute enacted by this congress
is evidently received with favor in
the various sections Of the country
to which it applies. Executive Off
GERS intrusted with it's enforcement
are following the wishes of the friends
and promoters of this movement in
a question vital to its success, viz:
the selection of text books. The
territorial board of education Of
Washington Territory has this week
followed the example Of this city in
adopting the books desired by the
temperance people-"the Barnes
series of Physiologies with reference
to alcoholic and narcotics, for all the
schools of that territory for five
years." So

dock by friends OF the saloon at
Sioux City, Iowa, on the night OF
Tuesday, Aug. 3, will forever mark
an era in the prohibition struggle.
The story is told in other columns Of
this issue. An article from the brave
mans pen was printed in The North
western July %, wherein he told
how scores of criminals were in open
rebellion against law. That article
appealed for sympathy and help.
The faithful friend of Jaw plainly !
saw that he was in personal danger.
That perception, however, was solely |
intellectual. Those who know the
man need not to be told that his
apprehensions did not in any sense
appeal to his fears. The fact of dan
ger did not for an instant stay his
loyal, straightforward, sincere hand.
DR.. Spencer, while with Mr.. Had
dock as the doctor says in this issue,
noticed that evil men fairly glowered
at the pastor as he passed through
the streets of Sioux City. Forever,
shame and condemnation upon that
city in rebellion! If the mayor OF
that rebel municipality failed to ex-
ecute law. he must 60 into the list
of incompetent traitors to the will
of the people. 1.-THE common coun-
Gil allowed saloons to defy law it
shares in this bloody outrage Of hu-
man life. Nothing short of a half
century of perfect good order and
stainless administration can begin
atonment for this foul murder. Every
citizen of Sioux City who permitted
this horror through his silent &C.
quiescence in a saloon rebellion
should now feel bound to make
atonement. The state of Iowa has
repeatedly thundered its mandate
against the liquor traffic, and if the
mayor of the city in any near or dis
tant sense neglected his bounden
duty he deserves instant official pen
atty. Iowa has commanded the sa-
loon to be closed, and Sioux City
has basely betrayed the state and
itself, even to permitting the assas-
sination of the one man who devot-
ed even his life to the execution of
law. This murder is an open, vii
famous stroke at Christian civiliza.
ton. That noble Iowa, rising to its
comprehension of higher plane in
human administration, has solemnly
outlawed those who get gain from
low human appetite. The saloon il
q nuisance and curse, and Iowa de-
creed its abatement. The wipe,
turned against law, and when an.
gered by persistent prosecution sub
sidized its assassins and delivered
it's fatal shot. George c. Haddock
fell a martyr to this organized tyran
ny and crime. In the person o.
that devoted friend of law every
good citizen has received stab in
his own body. Now let law awake
and hunt down the cowardly servant
of darkness and murder, and let hi
trial develop the entire conspiracy
The finger that discharged the fata
shot is not alone in this satanic plot
J The three or four forms that fittec
about in the vicinity of the darl
deed represent scores and hundreds
who are responsible. Shall thu
blood of this martyr be legally ane
speedily avenged ?-We Northwestern

A Washington correspondent hav-
ing access to the official figures
makes the following interesting
comparisons:
There is probably nothing that
more fully gives the true business
character and prosperity OF q state
than the number Of its postal order
offices. Those offices are not declar-
ed by the caprice of the appointing
power, nor as patronage for some po-
litical friend in or out of congress,
but on the true postal business OF
the different postoffices. On the first
of June there were few over 3,3CO
postal order Offices in the United
States. OF that number Dakota had
l19, a greater number than either OF
twelve of the southern states and
only three less than Tennessee, leav
ing really only Missouri that is only
southern in rebel politics in con
gress, and Texas an empire in terri
tory, of the fifteen southern states
that have more postal order Offices
| in their states than Dakota has. Da
kota has four more postal order Off
ces than the large empire southern
state Of Georgia, and three NOR
than the proud old state Of Virginia
the mother of presidents, and 81,
more than Kentucky, that grand oil
state in the days of Henry Clay ant
George D. Prentice, and the oil
whig leaders of that day, but il
leaders and in good order sadly de
generated at this time. Dakota ha
119 postal order Offices, while Soutl
Carolina and Maryland both hav
but 100. and West Virginia an
Louisiana have but a few more tina
Dakota, and Delaware has onl
about one-seventh as many as Dakt
ia, yet twenty-eight senators an
one hundred and five members {
congress from these southern state
voted against the admission Of til
state of Dakota into the union.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Mr. Hewitt has written long reply to the letter in which, among other things, MT. peorge said that no one could be elected to Congress from New York district without making things satis factory for the politicians by the use of money. MT. Hewitt denies the use of money to buy nomination or votes and says he has only paid the necessary assessments toward the election expenses. Referring to MT. Georges description of him as living in luxury and unheeding the condition of the masses, MT. Hewitt says his two residences, city and country, belong to his wife, having been given to her by her father, or bought money left her by him. He then pro ceeds to analyge Mr. Geeyge1s land taxation = theories and State has objections to them. He accuses MT. George of seeking to revive the horrors of the French revolution. He contrasts the vigorous campaign of George with the calm and iudicious course oi MT. Arthur, chief of the Brotherheod of Engineers and considers the latter the safer example for the working men,
