is the last great figure Of the war, and
the thousands Of veterans who followed
his leadership and fought the fight, ca
gerly ask of news concerning his con

as if he were surrounded by the enemy.
The House Of Representatives has
given much of its time during The week
to the consideration of Appropriation
bills and the Senate has been most OF
the time in secret session with the Fish

department of labor has been passed by
both houses. Senator Regain, Of Texas
spoke lengthily IN opposition to this
bill. He said if the founders of the
Republic could hear the way lab or
questions arc discussed ir Congress
these days, they would blush for shame
on account of the degeneracy and lack
Of manhood Of their defendants in deal

irreverant, waggish scribbler added
that no doubt this is so. If ghosts ev-

Governor Larrabee Says Prohibitio on Does Well
Where Enforced.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 10.-Governor
Larrabee's biennial message was delivered
to the Legislature this afternoon. Speaking
of the prohibitory Law, the Governor says:
Much progress has been made in the enforce
ment Of the %prohibitory Law. Not only has
public sentiment much improved in relation
to it, but judicial officers are more disposed
to secure its enforcement. Many Judges
give strong testimony in its favor, showing
that where it has been we'll executed there
have been marked reductions in criminal
offenses and also in cour expenses. During
last year, and particularly during its latter
half, there has been a decided falling off in
penitentiary convicts, AND q very large mum
Der of county jails have been emptied, some
of them for the first time in years. There
has been = marked improvement in the con-
dition Of the poorer people, especially in the
families of laboring men addicted to strong
drink, while there is very little difficulty
now in enforcing the law in the rural dis
tricts and a very large majority of the coun-
ties. There are still a few portions of the
State, particularly some Of the larger cities,
where the law is not enforced. This, how
ever, does not include al! such cities, for in
Des MONIES, Sioux City and Cedar Rapids,
three of the largest and most rapidly grow
ing cities of the State, the p%rohibitory law is
now and has been for the past year we'll
enforced.

"A Commendable Suggestion.
Helena Herald. 9Th,

A very important decision has just been
rendered in the United States District Court
for Northern Iowa, Judge Shires presiding.
The effect of the decision is to vacate the
Glidden patent, under which the Washburn
& Moen company have claimed and exercised
the right to exact = royalty Of all manufac.
turers of barbed wire. The decision will
have to 60 to the Supreme Court, Is did the
Driven Well case, recently decided. But
such is the confidence of manufacturers that
the patent will be vacated that no more roy
atty will be paid, 1nd there should be . con.
siderable reduction in the price of wire, of
which Montana in the future will have the
advantage. The results in these two cases
suggest the propriety Of providing that the
general Government shall furnish in full or
part the expense of testing thoroughly in the
courts the validity of contested patents.
These patent %monopolies constitute the
most oppressive taxes that our people pay.
It is quite generally believed that the patent
under which the Telephone company is ex.
torting millions from our people every year
is without any just and valid basis. People
submit to these exactions because the cost
Of litigation is 50 great, and It is only when
great number combine and divide this cost
that such cases are ever thoroughly tried in
the courts. Meantime the extortion goes on
and fortunes are made, and this encourages
Others to practice the same policy. The
Government, which represents the people,
should use the peoples money to prosecute
such actions.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-The Andrew Jackson
League, . new political organization which

first public meeting in Central hall, which
was filed before the evenings exercises
began. Numbers of speeches and musical
selections were given before the chief even,
of the evening, the speech Of Hon. w. c.
Cloudy, who has long been one Of the most
prominent lawyers in Chicago and 3 great
power in Illinois politics, occurred. Mr..
Goudy spoke of the supremacy of law, but
most Of his remarks were devoted to 3 free
press. Alter showing That restrain: and re-
striction is applied to nearly every person
and pursuit in life, Mr.. Goudy sad: "But
there is one valuable exception. The great
est power in civilized society to-day is that
of the press, and it is practically unrestrained
and free from regulation by law. This
force makes and unmakes presidents, gov.
errors, senators, representatives in Congress,
legislators, judges and al officers in our
countless system Of government. 1t is su-
perior to the executive, legislative and judi
cial authorities, because it creates and
destroys them. In short, the influence o.
the daily and weekly press and monthly
periodicals is %omnipotent." As . remedy
for these evils Mr.. Goudy advocated the
enactment of = statute which would require
that the name of the writer Of every article,
be it editorial, communication or news, be
given with it.. r~.M. "M. Mmm. m@#"

STATEHOOD.

Senator Turpie, Of Indiana, has introduced
Z bill for the admission to statehood Of
Washington, Dakota, Montana and New
Mexico. It is similar in character to those
hitherto introduced, and the boundary lines
are left unchanged. It requires constitu-
tional conventions called to adopt constitu-
tions to be submitted to the people for ap-
prevail, thus doing over again in Montana
what has once been we'll done. We think II
the chairman of the Committee on Territor-
les would read the constitution adopted by
Montana he would move to admit her there
under. and We do not believe it will be i'm
proved upon by any succeeding convention,
while it might be impaired. Under no cir.
cumstances by this bill can these states be
admitted until after the next presidential
election, aud we rather take the purpose to
be to put US of with . promise. Montana is
entitled BY every consideration that should
effect the determination to immediate state
hood, but we are absolutely subject to the
will of Congress, whether we will be admit
ted or kept out. This is; perhaps is right.
But justice should be accorded rs and Mon.
tans admitted. We are tired of vassalage.
We want home rule, anil we are satisfied
with our boundaries Is they are.

SECRETARY LAMAR, last Saturday, sent
to the President his resignation q Secretary
Of the Interior, couched in the usual cour-
teous terms, and responded TO in like manner
by Cleveland. 1t is SAID the support Of and
objection to Lamar - Justice Of the Supreme
Court is now on strictly drawn party lines.
Sawyer Of Wisconsin, and Sabin Of Mime
sofa, who probably feel obligated to Lamar
for firing Sparks, are the only two Republic
can Senators accounted a. f~avoring his con.
frmation. Riddleberger is also for Lamar,
and these three votes, with the Democratic
straight, would confirm him. Senator
Stewart, Of Nevada, in . three. column letter
TO the New York Times, says: 81 know of
no other man who bore arms against the
United States in the late war who has so
unreservedly accepted the verdict of arms,
and o unequivocally and continuously
maintained the validity Of the new amend
ments To the constitution, as Lamar; yet he
is disqualified to oil the Office of Justice of
the Supreme Court BY reason Of bis particle
patton in the late war. No person who bore
arms against the United States can ever be-
come eligible to that Office" The Nevada
Senator, in closing, says: 1.-THE public press
has 30 framed the issue that the rejection of
Lamar will be construed, both in the North
and South, - . declaration that bis partici-
patton has disqualified him, and all others
occupying the same position, for . place on

THAT FISHERY QUESTION.
Reciprocity Impossible, and the Headian
Question to be A-bltrated.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6.--The Press cor.
respondent At Washington says that the
failure of the fishery commission to accom-
plish anything important is now generally
admitted in administration circles. The
English aud Canadian Commissioners asked
for reciprocity, and were willing to give
almost anything that might be desired in
return. But Secretary Bayard couldn't
grant reciprocity. Then the other side
begged for free fish, salt and lumber. Mr..
Bayard very much regretted that he could
not accord that. BE would do it if he could,
and more, bat Congress stood up before him
like a stone wall, and be didn't dare. This
reduced the scope of the negotiation to an
Interpretation of the treaty Of 1918, touching
the headlands doctrine aud commercial
privileges. r..
The commission will probably agree to
send the headlands question, and that in
relation TO commercial privileges, to Impair
tial arbitrations. This can be done without
q treaty and without any reference Of the
subject whatever to the Senate. But the
decision will be binding only upon the pres
ent administration. There is . widespread
sympathy With Mr.. Chamberlain on account
of the failure Of the commission to accom-
plish anything. His time and labor have
been wasted, and be has got no glory from
his mission to this county.
