A Decision of Judge Phelps Takes Away

Decision of Judge Phelps Takes Away
the Last Hope of the Rum Sellers.
A decision of Importance, and involving
new point under the prohibitory liquor
law of Iowa, was rendered by Judge
Phelps, of the district court. Two wears

Joined as nuisance appealed to the Iowa
supreme court, and after filing super

injunction was sustained, and the saloon
keeper again gave bend and carried the
case to the United States supreme court,
where it is not likely to be reached for a
year or two yet. Recently proceedings
We're brought to have him arrested and
fined for contempt of court in continuing
the illegal traffic notwithstanding the in

the decision of the Federal court the in
junction did not apply, but the district
court now decides that the injunction
must stand and that the saloon must
close. The saloon keeper at once closed
up and others must follow suit, as thew

18th Plank, Prohibition Plat
form.

Recognizing the fact that the
Republican and Democratic parties
in their National Conventions have
ignored the question of the prohib-
ition of the liquor traffic, and fully
believing that the time has now
arrived when all persons who de-
sire the welfare of our country
should stand united in heart, in
prayer, and in vote against the
awful curse of this traffic in this
Nation,
l hereby subscribe to the in
vitatlon contained in the Thir-
teenth plank of the prohibition
Party Platform, as follows:
"Recognizing and declaring that
the prohibition of the liquor traffic
has become the dominant issue in
national politics, we invite to full
party fellowship all those who, on
this one issue, are with US agreed,
in the full belief that this party
can and will remove sectional
differences, promote national uni.
ty and insure the best welfare of
our entire land"

BISMARCK ON THE EUROPEAN SIT
UATI0N.

1t was announced in Berlin that on
February 9Th Prince Bismarck would
speak on the Military bill in the Reichs-
tag. 1t had the effect of drawing out
an Immense crowd of people, When the
first reading OF the Military bill came up,
Prince Bismarck rose to address the
House. He said: 81 do not believe [
can add anything to the true state of the
case regarding the bill l do not address
you on that account. My object is to
speak OF the general situation in Europe.
L may cOnfne myself to referring to
what L said on the same subject over
one year ago. There has been very lit
tie change since then, when l feared war
with France. Since then France has
elected peace-lovIhg President and
pacific disposition has since prevailed. |
can, therefore, reassure the public that
so far as France is concerned, the pos
pect has become more peaceful. Regard
ing Russia, also am of no other opinion
than when [ said that we have to APP
prehend no attack from Russia. The
situation must not be judged from press
comments.
1.-The Russian newspapers, do not
believe. [ believe the Cars word abb
solutely
THE situation, on the whole, is not
different from that of 1879. l grant that
the concentration of Russian troops on
the frontier may appear serious, but
perceive no cause or pretext for Rus
sian or European war. Russia has no
interest to conquer Prussian or Austrian
provinces.
Indeed, go SO far in my confidence
as to say that even war with France ,
would not necessitate war with Russia
although the latter eventually would in
volve the former. This is a time that 1
cannot demand explanation from the
Russian Foreign Office regarding the
concentration of troops on the frontier,
: but having been we'll acquainted with
Russia's foreign policy for a generation,
may express my opinion in the matter.
believe the Russian Cabinet intends to
make Russia's voice heard at the next
crisis, and therefore wishes to push her
military forces as far westward as pos
sible.
Perhaps Russia speculates upon a
turn taking place soon in the Eastern
question, and desires then to act
promptly and with greater weight Per
haps Russia intends to render her dil :
lomatic demands more effectual from the
fact of having an army ready for war be-
hind them

the Eastern question in a secondary

In Southern and Southwestern Nor
way leprosy has been unknown for any
number of years. Not so in the fisheries
districts along the western coast of the
country. Here the terrible disease had
gained quite foothold when the Gov
eminent resolved to eradicate it. The
first measures to prevent its spread were
not stringent as they might have been.
Still they had very marked effect. In
1850 the lepers in Norway numbered
reduced to 9, 119, and 1879 to 1862. In
1877 more stringent laws were adopted,
resulting in more rapid decrease. The
latest law regulating the treatment OF
lepers was passed in 1885 and is more
severe than any former. To use the
language of its opponents, ''leprosy is no
longer in Norway regarded as misfor
tune to be pitied, but as crime to be
punished" The essential enactments of
the new law are: Pauper lepers shall at
the request OF the respective Boards of
Health be confined in one of the five
leper hospitals of the country, husband
and wife, parents and children may be
separated. Lepers that are not paupers
may, by the Board of Health, be directed
to live separate from their family and
others If they disregard the instruc-
tons of the Board, they may be sent to
leper settlement and confined there
If they succeed in escaping from the
hospital, they are to be transported
back at their own cost. 1t is hoped this
policy will result in thoroughly eradicat-
ing leprosy in Norway before many de-
cades have elapsed. Since the adoption
of the more stringent laws the number
of lepers have decreased still more rap
idly While the decrease averaged %
a year for the period of 1929, the total
decrease for the period of 187O-18S3 was
289, or Y year. At the same ratio of
decrease, the present number of lepers
in Norway may be estimated at 1,064.-

Although Kamehameha l. was a
heather and a savage, he was one OF
Natures extraordinary productions
evidently born to mission-Of high at
tainments, as many another servant OF
GOD in humanity's interest has been.
For his day, generation and station he
was one of Natures noblemen, and well
worthy the commonly accorded estimate
of his character as the Napoleon OF the
Pacific Islands" Native historians, who
in this instance are the only ones who
give us testimony, while they are I'M
spairing in their condemnation of some
of their high chiefs and rulers, accord to
Kamehameha I. an award of high COM
mendation.
In reply to this [ quote from undis
puted history: "Kamehameha had his
chosen counsellors and wise men with
whom he conferred on matters touching
the prosperity of his realm" He en-
acted laws land it seemed that his will
was the only recognized law, absolute
and supreme) prohibiting murder, theft,
extortion and robbery, which operated
to promote peace and quietness to such
degree that, in the expressive language
OF the people, "Old men and women
were safe when lying asleeping in
the path" His measures were generous
and constant, not futile and oppressive.
1t is said that he gave force to the laws
by uniformly obeying them himself. His
intercourse with foreigners was frank,
courteous and considered.

tress was educated in England. She
may be seen almost daily driving out "
As Queen Emma was educated wholly in
the royal school at Honolulu, and only
for once made short visit to England.
and now has been dead some two years,
the sentence seems a little strange to
those who were acquainted with her,
particularly as the author writes of
events that transpired at Honolulu in
July, 1887, thus bringing his book mar
native down to 1888.
1t would not not be worth while to
point out other instances of misinforma-
ton. 1t is a charitable wish, expressed
in all sincerity, that, should opportunity
offer, the easily ascertained errors and
mistakes may be corrected.

Deer-hounds, although still very rare

was the first to import them to this
country. They do not follow by scent,
but by sight, and are, consequently, of
little use in a wooded country, but are
admirably adapted to the western plains

have been wounded.
