One of tile greatest divines Of the
country, Dr. Howard Crosby, has taken
his stand on the prohibition movement
in the east, which is ASSUMING such gen
eral proportions and rapid progress,
throughout New England particularly.
The influence it exertet in the late cleo
tions was closely equal to the labor prob
lem which now puzzles the theorists to
Out of these two movements, is predic-
ted the "Third Party" the future COM
binatlon of political opponents, which is
to sway the governmental policy for the
next quarter OF century, at least. DR..
Crosby views the prohibition question IN
the light of expedlency and common
sense, and In meeting at Cooper Insti-
tute offered resolution setting forth
that the tree interests Of temperance re.
form are best promoted by the principal
Of restrictive license, and calling on
towards the introduction of the High
License BIZ of 1856 In speaking to his
resolution DR.. Crosby said the prohim-
tionists' plans were neither feasible nor
for the best interests Of the people. The
advocates of true temperance reform
must accept high license as the best pos
sible remedy for the evils arising from
the sale OF liquors. In great cities prohl
bltion could not only fail to prohibit, but
would work positive injury to the cause
of Temperance, as tAen all drinkers would
carry bottles, HIS plan was to levy an
annual tax of 81 900 on every general sa-
Ioon-keeper, aud 500 on every heer-selI-
er. The resolution was agreed to with

THE Chicago News is aiding the Don
nelly theorists, who clam that Bacon
wrote Shakespeare's plays, by illustrating
the similarity to the latter OF various por'
traits, in wood cuts-the unkindest cut OF
all. Not only Bacon, with his gay pug
hat on, is made to look like Shakespeare
which should settle the identity With
all reasonable persons-but Doctor John,
son with spectacles, and other notables OF
the time are shown conclusively as hav-
ing general points of resemblance, with
the alleged Bard, who is thus proven to
have been an lmpOst,r. The proposition
therefore that all the parties illustrated
make one grand combination, Shakes
peare, is consequently true, and It's
coroary is equally true that Samuel
johnson was the only blown in the bot
tie Shakespeare Quod demonstrandum
est. Isnatlus can suck great comfort
from this unexpected and powerful! argu-
ment, and no one, it seems coI;d be
cynical enough to deny hi-u it.

YESTERDAY The Alert g rye the news OF
the LaMoure county seat removal, as OBJ
tanned from the Grand Rapids Journal,
and now the LaNlourc Progress IS at hand
with AZ interesting account Of the way it
was done. The general impression seems
to be that LaMoure lawfully, and ty
large majority, carried the county seat
election, and the Grand Rapids people
could do no more anyh how than temporarily
resist the result, which in the end would
entail loss on both sides, and heavy
tax TO the property owners themselves. 1t
was en open field aud no favors, and the
LsMoure people, largely In :he majority
with leaders and workers, fairly, as cleo
tions go, won the prize. While this nat
uralIv makes the Rapids people vince,
vet their usual good sense and discretion
will, il is believed, keep them from max
ing any useless and extravagant war over
the result, which viii only fatten at'or-
news and in the end leave Rapids money
somewhere else, whl lie in every prob
ability the court house will remain at
LaMoure. The information that the re
strain,ng order of Judge Francis Was
read by the sheriff to the LaMoure met,
at the Grand Rapids court house, before
the records were removed, proves moor
ret. The order was on its way, and it is

A. Trapper's Predictions.

tire rushes and other canes on the water

TO build them large and warm domlclles.
This is a sign that never falls.

"Do you think winter has set in with
this cold snap?"
"No; we will have a short spell of
pleasant weather, and then look out. The

will be late in the spring before they re

The Eddy County Seat Matter.

The Argus commenting on tie Eddy
county contest case says: "The count
seat question in Eddy county will involve
legal contest of considerable interest.
The law requires that at the first general
election after the organization Of u coun-
ty, the voters shall have an opportunity
to determine the location Of the county
seat by a majority vote. The officers
who made up the election notices did not
include this, but parties interested IN the
new town of Tiffany, added TO their bal
lots the name of that place as their choice
tor the county seat, which has beer. at
New Rockford. 1t is not questioned tb at
majority of the votes cast on this ques
ton were in favor of Tiffany, or that this
number was less than the aggregate vote
cast at the election. The Csnvassipg
board disregarded these ballots, and legal
proceedings are instituted TO compel theiI
recognition. The statute seems TO be ex
plc,t as 10 the right OF the voters to de-
