ANTI-SALOON REPUBLICANS.

AN 1I-OAAOON mex " DLlOANC.
The Anti-saloon Republican Conven-
ton of the state of New York met in
Cortland, Nov. 80 and 81. Represen-
tatives from all parts of the state were
present. This organization was par
TALLY perfected several months ago.
1t is composed entirely of Republicans,
and the names of the prominent men
who favor it give assurance that it is
no spasmodic movement. It is not
proposed to form any new political
party. but labor to have the Republic
can party cut loose entirely from the
influence of the liquor traffic; to make
no nominations, except in extreme
cases, where candidates have been put
into the field. manifestly for the spe-
ciic object of aiding the liquor interest.
There is in many towns and cities a
fixed purpose of those engaged in the
liquor trade and their friends to con-
troll and use the Republicans to pro-
mote their personal ends. If any Re-
publican wishes to keep on terms of
amity with the dealers in intoxicants
he must stand off from the anti-saloon
Republicans. The chairman of the
convention stated that the number en-
rolled as anti-saloon Republicans was
already large, and it was believed that
at the end Of the next six months the
number would be increased to 100000
enough to control the party.

REFORM ON RAILROADS.

The new Wisconsin Central rail-
road, completed a few months ago,
running through the western part of
this county, has inaugurated an i'm
portant reform, which is probably the
first of the kind in this country. All
the employees on the sleeping, parlor
and dining cars are prohibited here
after from taking fees from travellers
on the cars. The rule is absolute,
and any employee who disregards it
will be summarily dismissed. Every
person who has travelled. especially in
a sleeping car, knows the constant an
noyance by porters expecting a fee.
The wages of porters has been increas-
ed, so that they have no longer any ex-
cuse for asking fees of passengers.
Porters will be allowed to black boots
on application, not otherwise, for
which service they will receive ten
cents. No railroad reform for a long
time past will be more satisfactory to
the travelling public than this, and
other roads can hardly resist following
the example of the Wisconsin Central.

The River and Harbor estimates
have been made by the proper officers,
to be submitted to Congress. The es-
Inmates in most cases appear to be
liberal, involving the expenditure of
many millions of dollars. Among the
recommendations for harbors, Kenosha
and Racine are the lowest amounts on
the list-each being $4,000. Wauke-
gan has recommendation for 49,, 900.
Waukegan will need like amount for
many years to come, to construct a
harbor where nature has done little
or nothing for such work. Still no
one will complain if Waukegan gets
the benefit of a considerable expendi-
ture of government money for a series
of years. The estimates fix nothing
definite; they have to pass the ordeal
of Congress.

The opening session of Congress is
reported to have been unprecedentedly
dull. The proprietor of Willard's
Hotel, who has been in the business of
bookkeeping for over thirty years in
that city, says he has never before
known so few strangers in Washington
at any previous session of Congress.
A considerable number of important
bills have already been introduced in
the two Houses, but the introduction
of bills, however important, in these
times of tardy legislation, gives but
little assurance of their final passage.

"the worst enemy of the workingman

the liquor saloon is the producing cause
of the Astounding poverty and misery.

Through the American minister at
Paris, France has forwarded a request
to the Governor of Illinois for the par
don of the anarchists, assuming that
they had Leen convicted for political
offences, and while acting from con-
scientious motives, and that the gov
eminent should not resort to acts of
vengeance by their execution. No one
will deny the right to act from convic-
tions of conscience, as long as the
rights of other people are not interior
ed with, which was not the case in
their operations. This assumption is
far from the truth, as every school boy
knows.
Political matters had nothing to do
with their crime or conviction: but,

Paris has requested the United States

for anarchists they doubtless would be
made welcome to receive them all; it
would be good radiance to the United

CHURCHES THAT DRAW,

Union Park church, in Chicago, has
a Sunday evening chorus choir of near
ly one hundred voices; the result is, it
draws largely from those who do not
attend regular preaching services.
Why should not every church that has
singing material organize it into a
choir? There is on the average quite
as much gospel in the sentiments set
to sacred music as in preaching.

Railroads for Bismarc,,

Tribune l4th: The railroad smoke
is becoming more dense as the season
advances. The Milwaukee & ST. Paul
surveyors are now this side of Winches-
ter, in Emmons county, and are coming
toward Bismarck at the rate of mile
and half day. The engineers are
cross.sectioning and setting the grade
stakes, which is evidence of active work
in the near future.
While the Chicago, Milwaukee & St

western and the Bismarck and South
eastern lines, all have their engineers in
the field with Bismarck as the magnetic
pole, there is one particular line, OF
which little is being said, which is push
