Gazette Publishers announcement.


Gazette Publishers Announcement.
Readers and friends of the Steele County Ca
zette, you last week saw the last issue of the
Gazette. We are sorry that we could not see
our way clear to publish the paper one year
longer, at least The Gazette has been pur-
chased by R. H. Simpson, who will consolidate
the same with the Hope Pioneer. Subscribers
who are entitled to the Gazette longer, will be
served with the Pioneer till the time to which
they have paid has expired. These who are
taking the Pioneer already, will be credited
with the amount yet due them, as appears on
the Gazette subscription book. Delinuuent
subscribers Of the Gazette will please call at
the Pioneer office and square up. During the
enc years existence Of the Gazette, we have
learned something. As editor and publisher Of
OF the same we have friends who are friends.
these were anxious to have us return and start
the Gazette, have done all in their power to
sustain it, and are as sorry to SEQ the paper
discontinued as they were pleased to see 1t
launched. Taking everything into considera.
tion, we are not sorry we came back to Hope.
We believe the Gazette has been a factor in
promoting that unanimity Of feeling in this
vicinity which now exists, and which was al
most a stranger here year or so ago. Our
support as publisher camo from Hope and vi
cinity, to the inhabitants of which we tender
our thanks, and trust that they may yet see the
county seal Of Steele county relocated at Hope,
where it should be to-day, and from all appear
ahces, for years to come. To our friends: we
bid you farewell, and hope that success may
crown your efforts in building and maintaining
homes in this your adopted country.
Yours, truly, W. F. WARNER.

The License Question.

The board Of county commissioners at their
meeting last Tuesday veted not to issue license
for the sale Of intoxicating liquors in Steele
county. The vote stood two to one, Messrs.
Nelson and Geplerud voting against license
and Mr.. Wilcox for license. Very many per-
sons question the policy Of this legislation on
the part of our commissioners, not because
they are friendly to the liqusr interest, but bs-
cause they deem 1t impossible to enforce such
legislation, and that the county will lose the
benefit Of the revenue it would otherwise de,
rive. One thing ia certain, that until some
plan can be devised for preventing the sale of
liquor throughout the territory, the isolated ef-
forts Of few town OF counties can be produc-
tive OF little good, as past experience has fully
demonstrated. In order to stop the use and
sale Of liquor, people must be educated up to
q moral standard sufficiently high to look upon
its use or sale as crime not only against the law
of man, but against tho law Of God, and we
are sorry to say we fear tue world is long
way from this standard as yet. Spasmodic ef-
forts that prohibit one day and permit the sale
the next, will never accomplish the end aimed
at by the friends Of temperance. The proper
place to begin reform in the liquor matter is
at its source-let the United States government
prohibit Its manufacture and importation, and
1t will be but short time till the sale Of liuuor
will be thing Of the past.

sion, the report was adopted.
Mr.. MacLaren, of Steele, offered preamble
and resolution which, after reciting the prog.
ress made by Dakota in population and wealth,
continues:
Whereas, It has been the desire of majority
| of the people to faver division Of the terri.
tory; and
Whereas, It is now believed to be impossible
| to secure congressional legislation favorable ts
division on the forty-sixth parallel; and
Whereas, 1t is believed that the removal Of
the section of Dakota known as tho BlacI
Hills from meddling in the territorial affairs
will tend to lessen the contention; and
Whereas, The section known as the Blacl
Hills is largely populated by non-freeholdel
who delve in mines like serfs, the proceeds O.
whose labor, amounting to $150O0O month
is shipped largely to New York, to the cred
Of non-residents Of the territory, and the taxes
of that section being largely in arrears for sew
eral years past; and
Whereas, TO remove the disturbing element
from the political arena Is believed to he the
| best, easiest and surest means of accomplishing
this end, therefore, be it
Res0IUed, That we, the delegates, in conven-
ton assembled, declare ourselves in favor OF
division on the Missouri river, or in such man:
ner as to throw the Black Hills out of the boun.
daries Of Dakota.
Referred to the committee on resolutions.

that the proposal to call it UP at this stage of
the session will be very vigorously contested,
whenever renewed. Among those Representa-

bill in debate, and who want a chance to air
their oratory before the fall campaign begins in
their districts. On the other hand, several who

The members who voted against its considera-

state OF the question the safest on which to go

tariff would throw every thing further back, and

Secretary Turner says that he is going TO urge
The dissemination of instructions and ad-
dresses TO the Knights of Labor hereafter
through the press instead of in secret circulars
As the secret circulars rarely continue secret
long enough To reach their destination, and as
they cost the treasury of the order n pretty
penny for printing and mailing while the news
papers would gladly publish the same matter
for nothing, this seems to be a wise conclusion
II is pity the United States Senate could not
lake a lesson in candOr from Nr. Turner, and
