That group Of men over there are en-
gineers discussing the question, but
everybody is perfectly quiet in their
behavior, and engineers l have always
found to be invariably gentlemen in all
their actions.
A genius who ought to be presented
with lemon is the man who put the
following explicit advertisement in one
of the evening papers: For a good
15-cent shave give my place trial, OPP
posite the - hail."
Speculation has always had tempta-
tons for all kinds and conditions of
men, and wherever a chance is offered
for the risking of small sum, with the
hope of receiving a larger, there will
surely be found motley crowd of
humanity, those with money playing,
and those without watching with all the
interest of players from the mere eX-
element of the thing. The Columbia
has had checkered career from its
opening as a first-class resort where
pretty music was heard while man en-
joyed his liquid refreshments; later it
became solely restaurant and the con-
cert hall was closed up. To-day it is a
saloon and pool-room and people who
remember the beautifully kept restau-
rant could not recognize in any
manner or shape the place to-
day. 1t is taken possession of daily
by some of the Misunderstanding citizens
of the town can produce. These gentry
sit around on the benches from early
morning till late at night, and in an
earnest, dogged and determined man
ner, they rival one another in copiously
flooding the floor with tobacco juice.
1t is one of the busiest, noisiest places
in the town, and by all appearances, a
roaring business is being done
by the book-makers. 1t is a strik-
shouting callers announcing the races.
The bar is crowded all the time-with
men, who talk in loud and excited
manner, the spectators and wOuld-be
spectators have an unhealthy. excited
look, for the atmosphere is fetid and
foul. and the number of tough and re-
pulsive-looking coonS who mingie in
the throng give the place a decidedly
low down appearance. How and
where some of the trcqueuters of this
resort manage to live is mystery to
every one but themselves. There are
men who come there daily and hang
around till closing time, who never in
vest nickel, who have not worn an
overcoat all this winter and whose
looks tell of starvation and misery in
all of the lines of their faces. The Won
der is how men can lead such an utterly
worthless, idle, improbable life and not
be ashamed to come where other men
can see them in all of their unworthi
ness.

The gentle spring zephyr blew the
honorable Robert q. Evans into the
city from his Chicago trip. His robust
constitution was unimpaired, and it was
fortunate, because otherwise he would
have been blighted by adverse criticism.
He has been booming Gresham, as
Hoosier boy, and giving Minnesota over

the number of saloons can possibly be
restricted by the provisions printed in
the right hand column, for do not those
provisions, as far as they go, permit
what the left hand column prohibits?
And how can permission restrict? How
can license restrain? And this sort OF
hay and Stubble forms the logical cor
ner stone of the political party which
makes itself responsible for Mr.. Bar
trans argument,
RESTRICTION RESTRICTS.
In Minneapolis in 1883 with a license
tax of 500 and probable population of
$4,000. the licensed saloons were 53S. or
one to 167 inhabitants. In 1885 with an
ascertained population of 10000. with a
local license taX?of $500 and a Patrol
Limit" ordinance restricting saloons to
the business center of the city, the Ii
censed saloons were 29S-or one to 432
inhabitants. In 1888 with probable
population of 10000, state license tax
of 500 and a continuance of the patrol
limit restriction. the licensed saloons
are $50. or one to 1872 inhabitants. Re-
StrictlOn seems to restrict.
In st. Paul in 1887, with a probable
population Of $4,000 and a license tax
Of 800, the licensed saloons were 763, or
one to 205 inhabitants. In March, 1888,
with an increase in population and a
state license tax Of $1,000. the licensed
saloons are 1923, or one to 4S6 inhabitants.
Nearly the same pr0portlOnate reduc-
ton is maintained throughout the state,
although $500 tax for country towns is
lot high enough to make a thoroughly
fair test Restrictions seem to restrict.
THE SALOON MUST GO.

of restriction is, and ought to be every
