ONE need not be a Prohibitionist to
be greatly averse to finding saloon
puffs in paper for the home circle.
We believe it very wrong for editors to
drink whisky and to be seen i'm saloons,
but it is much worse to put editorials i'm
a paper endorsing the quality of certain
liquors and wines and telling where
they can lie found. The Young are
tempted enough with our saloons, not
to have the willy whisky yender enter
the newspaper columns of paper in
tened to circulate in the homes, where
it is easy to poison the young minds on
this subject. In this day of enlighten-
ment no teacher, preacher or editor
should disgrace his calling by advocat-
ing or sanctioning in any way this terri
BILE sin of rum. Readers of the Free
Press will never be shocked i'm that man
ner and they will never see any puffs
for malt houses or ads. for wines and
i1uors in its columns RipOn Wis. J

THOSE Of the admission as whole
element who cling to the falicy that
South Dakota is playing at Statehood
may as well disabuse their minds of
such an idea. 1t is business from this
time on. The few whose treason to
South Dakota's interests leads them
into an alliance with the railroad COM
bination of the north will learn TO real
iZe that there is no compromise in this
contest. If opposition is insisted upon
it Will yet become fight of neighbor
against neighbor, with loyalty always
in the majority.-PreSs d. Ddkotaian.

ABOUT thirty members

ABOUT thirty members of the press
were present at the meeting Of the press
association at Huron last week. Among
other things it unanimously voted to
ask the next legislature TO reduce the
rate for publishing legal notices from
the present rate, 81 60 per folio for first
insertion and 75 cents for each subse-
quent insertion, TO Is cents for first in
sertion and so cents for each subse-
quent, reduction of twenty-five per
cent. This action is receiving the ap-
probation OF the press generally, and of
course will that of the public. That
the rates are now too high is beyond
dispute and the press association does
well to request the reduction.

Northwest Illustrated Monthly.

A year ago the publishers of the North
west Illustrated Monthly magazine issued
their first great st. Paul number Tens of
thousands of copies were sent to all parts
of the United States. The greatness of st.
Paul was made known to hundreds of
thousands of people by the statistics
and illustrations it contained, who other
wise would have remained i'm ignorance of
our city, or at least, would have had only
vague idea of its thrift and proportions.
Soon after this number was so thoroughly
distributed there was a very noticeable
influx of Eastern capital into the CITY. and
investors in st. Paul dirt from abroad be-
came plentiful. A general rise in values
all along the line was the result Since
that time the greatest activity has prevailed.
One leading real estate dealer declared
that on a conservative estimate the year
ago March number of the Northwest Maya
zine was worth to st. Paul millions of dol
lars. Again the time has arrived for the
issuance of another st. Paul number of
that publication. and it is now being dis

I'm Favor of Concession.

LONDON, April 21.-Lord Spencer.
speaking at Newcastle to-day. said there
were two ways of dealing with the Irish
problem-eOercion and concession. The
former is dangerous means by which to re-
store order. but what then? He combatted
the accusation that Mr.. Gladstone was
handing the government of Ireland over to
crime mOngeTS. Judging from evidence
obtained during his term of Office as lord
lieutenant of Ireland, he had not found
that the supporters of the Parnell policy
encouraged crime and conspiracy.
The colleagues of Mr.. Parneil.
he said. have a real affection for
their country. and their ability is undOubted.
Tax payers will incur no risk from the land
scheme proposed by Mr.. Gladstone. The
great body of Irish people do not want sep
aratOn, knowing it 10 be impossible owing
to the geographical and business relations
existing between the people of Ireland and
England. Mr. Gladstone's proposal said
he, would strengthen the union between
the two countries. Mr.. John Morley said
he was prepared to accept reasonable mod
ihcatiOn of the Irish bills. The retention
of the Irish representatives in the house of
commons would weaken the parliament i'm
Dublin and demoralize the parliament in
Westminster.
Lord Spencer said that the Irish landl ord
rights had often been curtailed and that it
would not be fair in settling the whole
question to withhold protection from them.
1t would be equally unfair to leave the set
tlement OF the land question to the Dublin
parliament There was a perfect agree
ment among the members of the cabinet on
the land question.

THE CHRYsALIs OF FASHION.


In one short week the budding spring
bonnet will blossom out in all its magnifi-
cence, and the Easter gowns which have
long since been making, will bloom forth
luxurlantly. The chrysalis of fashion which
has for the allotted forty days renamed in
more or less wintry seclusion, will burst
forth in butterfly sumptuousness TO delight
the eve with various skillful combinations
of colors deftly interviewer by millinery
skill 1t is the most pronounced and most
delightful harbinger of spring and the
coming glOries of summer, this casting
aside of wintry garments with their sub
dued tints, by the fair portion of the
busy world and their universal adop-
ton of brighter hues. Lovely woman
is of conrse always adorable. Any other
supposition would be extremely ungallant
as well as base libel, but she Is particu-
larly charming when arrayed in her Easter
tinery, wearing the proud look which the
consciousness that her new attire Is es-
pecially becoming naturally gives. Never
theless in view of the fact that husbands
and fathers will, as an inevitable conse-
quence, be forced to face the stern financial
reality to which the tasteful frills and fur
bellows give rise, the institutions of week
of especial fasting and prayer before the
Easter awakening would seem to be some
thing particularly designed for their bene-
fit and discipline.
