LIQUORS.

There is a strong effort being pu,
forth during the present session OF
Congress to do away with the inter
nal revenue taxes on alcoholic liquors
1t is earnestly hoped that all who
are interested in temperance reform
will do all in their power to cause the
repeal of this law, Francis Willard
10 her annual address before the con-
vention said:
81 hope we shall distinctly declare
ourselves in favor of removing the
internal revenue tax from all intoxi
eating liquors. 1t is covenant with
bell and compact with damnation.
Today it stands as the strongest bul.
wark between the liquor traffic and
annihilation. We want no monopo.
lies 10 sin, least of all that tie Ma.
tional Government should be the
largest stockholder, getting ninety
cents on every gsllon of whisky and
ninety-tbree cents. in round numbers.
on every keg of beer. The amount of
tax is about equal to the annual sur
plus in the United States Treasury;
let both be wiped out together. l
hope this may be one of our cam.
paign battle cries; Down with the
tax that ties the nation tight to the
vampire that is sucking out it's
blood
We have not space at this time to
give this subject the notice it requires
but it is very needful that all persons,
especially those who are well Known
shall use their influence to a purpose
by addressing letters to our represen.
tstives at the Capitol. expressing
sympathy with the movement. Many
letters should be sent by persons
throughout our cou ty as we'll as
from those within our borough. Un.
ions may do much by interesting peo.
pie and urging them to duty in this
matter. Whatever is done should be
done quickly.

lows on the subject:
The Spokane REVIEW rises and
truthfully remarks that "no measures
followed, have rendered more to bring
the present administration into disre-
pute than, the practice, so much in
vogue, OF appointing broken down
eastern political hacks to Office in the
territories, and no proceedings OF II
party in power can be more CALLING to
! the people Of these territories"
The REVIEW might have added that
in no territory of the Union has the
practice been more persistently offen-
sive than in this, that in no territory

to their party in its darkest days.

must be invented to get rid Of played.

EVERY resident who has the welfare
OF the city at heart will regret exceed.
ingly the termination Of the contest in
| the district court in which the legality
OF the fire limit ordinance was brought
into question. No matter what the
grievances OF the party contesting il
might have BEEN no matter il he did
not seek the quarrel, the intent and
purpose of the ordinance was good,
and il is, indeed, unfortunate that an
! erroneous construction should inval-
idate the law. However, it is probably
| fortunate that the flaw In the ordin-
ance was discovered at this early day
While the block that has been made
the worst fire trap in the city by the
placing therein of the frame buildings
over which the trouble originated can
not be protected by the enactment OF
a new ordinance, yet prompt action on
the part of the council in passing a
new and more carefully formulated
ordinance may insure to- the inside
business property that protection that
was expected from the law just de-
clared defective. The ordinance grew
out OF demand for II restriction upon
erecting frame buildings in the bust
ness part OF town. 1t was intended to
protect the costly brick blocks already
erected and to encourage others to inn
prove their property. 1t is n good,
proper and necessary provision, and it
is to be hoped that the next document
of the kind drawn up will be iron-clad
in its construction and put together
firm enough to withstand the attacks
of the legal profession.

Moscow and Lewiston, Idaho, are
about to be involved in the throes of II
county seat removal fight, one of the
most bitter contests that can rack II
community. The same question was
settled n few years ago in favor of
Lewiston, and it is generally conceded
by parties from that part Of the coun.
try that the scat of government Of
Nez Percc county will remain where it
is, mt least for the present Should an
neXation succeed there may be
changes in county boundaries that
would make the removal proposition
more popular, but it is mooted qucs-

THE st. Paul Pioneer Press with
the promised write up is at hand. The
agents for the paper have filled their
contract by devoting two pages to
this city and the tributary country.
Much space is devoted to the mines,
and about every feature Of the town is
touched on. We cannot see that the
"write up" is any better than the many
favorable articles published about the
place by the local press, nor is there
anything especially new advanced
under the several heads. One thing
is particularly noticeable by its alb
sence, and that is favorable editorial
comment upon the work. From this
fact it looks as though the paper en-
tered into the scheme only upon a
cold bloodeG business basis, and con-
sdering the supplement no more than
common advertisement, did not pro-
pose to encourage its readers to believe
that what was said by its correspond
ents contained one grain of truth, by
recommending perusal, or calling
atten ton to it, The special and best
feature about the space devoted to the
Falls is the map of Spokane Falls and
the tributary mining and agricultural
country, which was drawn by Mr.. w.
Ii. Galvani, of this city, and which
reflects great credit upon that gentle
mans skill as both an engineer and
urnughtsman

THE Chronicle vigorously assuils
the prevailing practice Of putting up
rents To the most outrageous figures,
and it is II timely protest, althoughit is
doubtful ii it be possible, by the most
pathe,ic appeals, to modify the cupidX
ity OF the average house owner. Rents
are higher here than in the larges.
cities in the east, and this fact is
enough to seriously effect immigration
to this city. Instead OF showing an
inclination to lower prices the demand
for rooms and houses is so great that
there IL II disposition to advance pre-
vailing figures. We may deplore this
condition % things but We see no
remedy but by the construction of II
large number of tenement houses by
capitalists who ARE satisfied with II fair
interest on the money invested.

WHILE we do not uphold the prac-
tice OF land jumping, and believe that
in II mujority of cases it is no more
than practice Of bulldozing, yet If
men do not fulfill this requirements of
the law in taking up land, they have
no one to blame but themselves il
their title is called into question.
There is legal rs well as IL moral side
to this matter, and the man who
disputes title in good faith is enti-
tied to Il fair hearing. These cases
are tried entirely upon their merits
before the land Office officials and a
claimant is in no danger OF losing his
property, no mutter how many men
dispute his title, il he can prove that
he las faithfully carried out the pro-
visions OF the laws giving him the
right to take up government lands.

THE Palouse News publishes the
startling information that slumber-

AFTER waiting many days for II fire
limit ordinance one was at last passed
and the very first case tried under it
shows a vital mistake in its construc-
ton. 1t is doubtful ii II Single ordi-
nance passed within the last year would
hold good if put to the test 1t is a
great misfortune for the city that It
flaw should be found in the fire limit
ordinance just ut this time, as, no
doubt, many will take advantage Of
the decision and proceed to erect frame
structures in the prescribed bound

THE employees of the Chicago, Bur
