THE u S. Supreme Court yesterday af-
firmed It decision OF lower court, the effect
Of which is to ruin and destroy not only the
buslness, but the property of the distillers in
the State of Iowa, the latter being unfit for
any other use than that for which it was In
tended. Such decision may be in accord
snce with both the law and the Constilu
ton, but,in respect of the latter, there must
be no little doubt, as the Constitution pr'-
hibits ex-post fscto laws and laws impairing
the obligation of contracts. provides that citi-
zens of each State are entitled 10 all the privi-

The address formulated by the two

The address formulated by the two
state convention at Huron is short and
to the point, 1t reRds as follows:
To the people of two pskotas: Such
a day as the one now shining never
dswned upon US before. We have ee-
cu.ed recognition from one of the great
national parties, the same we shall have
when both our states are within the
union; go that the work for two states is
now more popular than one. 1t now re-
mains for us to make one supreme eff
fort and our work is done. In the cam
palgn, for the first time the two Dakotas
! are keeping srep to the same music. The
same goal is before them both. The
people of both sections now see alike the
necessity of using the same means to
secure common end. All this portends
victory for us. and in the very near fu.
sarc. Bu. while this is possible, it will
not come OF itself. We dare not relax d
single nerve. We cannot ceaee our vigi
| lance. Having begun We must stay
through to the end. We may have
personal choices in party, IN hopes for
| progress, in various affillations, but for
| the present emergencies we must subor
dinate them ell and make foremost oar
unRltersble purpose at ali hazards and
at whatever cost. Dakota shall be
redeemed. To do this we must help our
selves. "FeRr God and take your own
part" must still be our motto. To do
this let us elect for our next legislature
only such men as will, first OF oil stand
together for the two Dakotas. Men who
will be neither frightened or cajoled in.
to wavering from their position. Men
| who will not be- afraid to strip from the
office of our alien governor the power
and the perquisities that we would
never think of giving to governor of
our own choice. Men who will make no
appropriation of our money that is not
clearly warranted by the organic act
Men who will, at the first opportunity
move forward to accomplish statehood
| for both Dakotas. In this way we shall
| reduce the evils OF our territorial con-
| ditiou to the lowest point, and make
more sure the coming of complete tri-
umph Of home rule. Only once do we
need TO act on this appeal. Only once
does north Dakota need to join hands
to end this provincial degradation and
begin the glory OF our statehood life.
The adoption OF this address closed
the work of the convention and ii ad
iourned with the understanding that the
central committee may re-convene il al
any time.

The realistic Novel,

Mason in Lincoln Journal: III am
about to write o book said John u.
UT to the topics department. yesterday.
II have read large number OF novels in
my life, and have come to the conolu-
Zion that can write as good one as
I've struck yet. ! have noticed that
authors generally choose extremely good
young men as their heroes, and these
young men fall in love with beautiful
women. The Williams of the stories try
to interfere between the good young
men and beautiful women, but finally
virtue triumphs. and the williams are in
gloriously done up. This is ell wrong.
In at least half the cases in real life the
Williams come out on top, and the right
eous people lose sight OF the procession
In the first chapter OF my book the vii
lian will punch the head of the good
young man, which will be something
quite novel. In most books Che good
man administers severe thrashing 10
the scoupdel. I will introduce a mnr-
derer during the course of the story, the
william being the red handed slayer. The
good young man will be hanged for il
and the william will marry the heroine.
The epilogue will treat Of the latter's
suit for divorce and the election of hel
husband TO congress. I think such q
story would be unique and refreshing
When it is completed + will give you q

It is proper for the public to enquire
relative to the present status and ante
eedents of man nominated TO re-
sponsible position, for whom party or
any portion of a party is expected TO
cast its ballots. 1t is also proper for
newspapers to assist the public in its
search for information. Having in
mind our duty to the public ia this par
ticular we haye taken pains to trace the
political career OF Professor Harden,
nominated at jamestown by the Church
wing of the democratic party OF Dakota
as candidate for congress. We have
been unable to follow his political
genealogy any farther back than the
| greenbeck epoch. 1t is asserted that
prior to being greenbacker he was q
republican, bntfor this We are unable to
vouoh. As q gTeenpacksr in Michigan
Professor Harden is therefore introduced
to the democratic party. From green
backism he fell into the ranks OF the
democratic party. After time his
political principles became tinotured
with prohibition sentiment. As resi-
dent OF Dakota the professor espoused
the cause of division and this lasted him
up to the date OF the jamestown nomin
ating convention, when he became ar
anti-dIvisionist, In the early
days Of the reign OF Governor Church
Professor Harden was afflicted with af.
fectlon for that official, superinduced BY
an open promise that the governor wonlt
make the professor superintendent o
public instruction. Professor Harden
was then Church man. This promis,
was honored in the breach and the victim
of misplaced confidence became vloien
opponent of the ruler OF the Dakota
and visited upon his head various NAL
edictions. Professor Harden was then a
anti Church man. As the Jamestow
convention became imminent and n
available congressional candidate pre-
sented himself the professor was yisite

Senator Alandersou and his Revolvers.
Washington special: During the late
war, when Senator Manderson, OF Ne
braska, was lieutenant colonel shortly
after the battle of Stone River, he was
presented by the officers OF his regiment
with pair of handsome revolyers and o
field glass, which were inscribed with bis
name and the date of presentation. Just
before the battle OF Missionary Ridge
Colonel Manderson stated for Chatsa-
nooga. Finding that the Journey by
the ordinary wagon road would consume
two days and that by following a bride
path which ran through portion OF the
enemy's country he could save twenty
four hours, he determined to take the
short cut. Accordingly he entrusted his
trunk, which contained his baggage and
the two presented revolvers, to the

companied only by a lieutenant, By the
bride path. He reached his destination
IN safety, but was greeted by disagree

Senator Manderson learned the circum
cumstances of the capture and her es
cape. She described TO him how the
train had been captured by the bush

among the party. While ex President
