TEMPERANCE.

Friends of temperance reform are
divided into two divisions throughout
most of the states of the Union. Men
distinguished for their philanthropic
endeavors in past years are found on
both sides of this reform question.
The two methods proposed are prohi-
bition and high license. Both aim to
reach the same end ultimately. Pro.
hibitionists propose TO take the shorter
method and strike without delay for
the total suppression of the sale and
traffic of intoxicants. The advocates
Of high license maintain that public
sentiment in most Of the states has not
been educated to sufficient standard
to enforce prohibition. Honestly be-
lieving this, they regard high license
the safer way of reaching prohibition.
They believe that laws for the suppress
sion OF wrong doing, however wisely

THE TARIFF.

During the balance of the present
session of Congress to the close the
tariff will be the chief subject of dis.
cussion. The Democratic or free trade
Cleveland wing have given out the
kind of tariff reform they intend to
press on the country. Ninety articles
are selected to put on the free list. The
greater portion Of these are of the
smaller class, but would destroy very
many of these industrial interests, II
allowed to be imported free of duty
Notwithstanding the protest of fully
three-fonrths of the wool.growers of
the United States, the Democratic
committee propose to put wool on the
free list. If the question of abolishing
the duty on sugar were submitted to
the people, the vote would be over
whelmingly large for free sugar.

FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
AN EARLY KENOSHA
SETTLER.

George w. Pierce was one Of the
earliest settlers here in 1885. He was
among the first to emigrate from here
to California. where he settled in YOlo
county, in the northern part Of the
state. 1t is noticed by the papers pub
lished at Davisville that he is called
Judge Pierce. which position it is be-
lieved he justly honors. Judge Pierce
writes us an interesting letter of the
productiveness of that portion of Cali
fornia where he resides, but it is too
long for publication. The Judge says
his occupation is stock growing and
farming. He raises such fruits as
oranges, lines, pears, peaches, plums,
apricots, nectarines, pomegranites,
prunes, cherries, figs and several kinds
of grapes. He sends a paper, not of
late date, from which the following is
clipped:
Judge Pierce, who resides near
Davisville, brought to our Office Thurs
day fine sample of orane es raised at
his place. The tree from which these
oranges were taken is small, but has
on its branches over 200 nearly ripe
oranges now. The sample is fine
colored and good siZe."

FASHIONABLE SOCIETY
MATTERS.

According to a Washington city
paper. which is regarded as a court
journal, two questions have been much
discussed in fashionable society. One
is, which is the better taste, to say
Society women, or society ladies p
Society women appears to be held the
most appropriate. In these modern
times the name lady has become SO
much bedraggled by use among the
vulgar and illiterate that it has long
since ceased to distinguish rank OF
position. The other question is. which
is the better to say. cabinet women
or Cabinet ladies?" Here the Gesigna.
ton ladies appears to be preferred, for
it was originally applied to persons
really of rank, and takes on the old
English Specification, where the name
lady was first used. and applied to the
wives and daughters of nobility. AL.
though there is no recognized nobility
in this country, the wives of cabinet
officers come nearer the ideal of no.
bility than any other class.

BAPTIST CHURCH FIFTIETH
ANNIVERSARY.

Attention is invited to the program
of exercises of the fiftieth anniversal Y
of the Baptist church in this city. 1t
will be seen that an attractive array
of talent has been secured for the oc-
casion, and it is expected that not only
Baptists, but others, will show their
friendly regard by attending the meet
ings. The fiftieth anniversary of a
western church marks a peri d in its
history worthy of commemoration.
The Methodists in this city celebrated
the iftieth anniversary of their church
organization few months ago. The
Congregationalists, it is understood,
will commemorate theirs in June next.
The organization of the Episcopal
church dates back TO January, 1910.
The Catholics were also organized here
about rs early as the other churches.

STRIKES.

1t is but a few years ago when
strikes were resorted to by working
men because of discomfort of wages,
and it was confidently believed that
some method would be devised for the
Rmicable settlement for troubles of
this sort. But the country is no nearer
a remedy for the adjustment of the
differences of employees and employers
than years ago; in fact, no progress has
been made as to the method of settling
these difficulties. There have been
strikes of greater magnitude the past
few months than ever before. Proper
ty is the product of labor; the suspen-
sion of work by so many thousands of
laboring men would, if rightly esti-
mated, show loss of millions of dol
lars. Property acquired by the indi-
vidual toilers adds to the wealth of the

The sleighing is still good. We see
few signs of an early spring. The ground
in our cemetery is frozen about two feet
deep, and it must be frozen deeper than
that in the fields, SO we probably will
not do any spring work before town

w. w. CORCORAN--ART GAL
LERY-LOUISE HOME.

When good rich men die it is pleas
ing to notice their obituaries. Often
when millionaire dies whole news
paper columns are given him, not be-
cause of his moral worth, or because
he had been benefactor of mankind,
nor was it because in point of char
acter he was entitled to more considera-
ton than a hod carrier. The world
pays homage to wealth, whether its
possessor has any true merit or not.
w. w. Corcoran, who died in Washing
ton two weeks ago, at the age of SO
years, was a millionaire whose men,
DRY is worth perpetuating. He was
great and good man, not because of
distinguished offices he had filed, nor
for great learning, but great and good
on account of his noble gifts and
charities. Probably most people who
have visited Washington have seen
the Corcoran Art Gallery, one Of the
grandest exhibitions of art in this
country, on which Mr.. Corcoran ex-
pended $l,500,000, and left an addi-
tional 100000 in his will for further
improvements. The Gallery has in it
many of the finest specimens of art
that could be purchased in Europe.
Provision was made for free admis-
sion into the Gallery every other day
In the week. Of the many charities
and benevolent enterprises to which
he contributed large amounts only a
few will be mentioned. The Louise
Home is an institution for women who
were once wealthy, but became re-
duced to want by misfortunes over
which they had no control, and which
in most cases were caused by the war
of the rebellion. A large and fne
building, surrounded by pleasantly
laid out grounds and walks, is the
Louise Home. The number of in
mates short time ago was reported
forty-two, who are chiefly Southern
women, whose husbands once held dis
tinguished positions. A lady of this
city was invited by friend in Wash
ington, a few years ago, to visit the
Louise Home. 1t so happened Mr.. |
Corcoran was at the Home to spend
little time. He was very affable, and |
contributed to make all cheerful and |
happy. He invited the visitors to 90 |
through the building, remarking, "a |
more happy family could not be found
in Washington" The bearing of the
ladies toward him was that of children |
to a father. They were evidently |
mostly women Of culture who had seen |
days of prosperity, and now pleasantly |
situated. Mr.. Corcoran has expended |
100000 on the Louise Home, and left |
$4,000 in his will for its benefit. Oak |
Hill cemetery, the most picturesque in |
this country, was prepared and beauti-
fed at great cost by Mr.. Corcoran. It |
is located in Georgetown, adjoining
Washington. Ascension church, the
most expensive Episcopal church in
the city, was built by Corcoran.

THE LICENSE SYSTEM TO BE
TESTED.

A new movement has been made by
prohibitionists; its first step will be
taken, it is said, in indianapolis. 1t
bases its action on the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States in
the Kansas case, in which the principle
is asserted that there is no authority
to barter away the morals and health
of the people, but it plainly declares
that the traffic in intoxicants is against
the public health and life. 1t is said
that leading temperance workers in
different states have been consulted,
and that action will at once be taken
to test the validity of the license sys-
tenn. We give these statements as we
find them, only remarking if such be
the ruling of the Supreme Court it is a
finally in the license business, from
which there can be no appeal.
