TEMPERANCE.

A6AS1AAWS6.
Whatever difference of opinion may
exist In regard to Temperance legisla-
tion We think the legislature will not
be seriously complained of il It shall
provide for the form Of local prohibi.
tion known as county local option.
That puts tho saloon under the control
OF each community. Any form Of
regulation or prohibition of the tin
pling shop must depend on the disposi-
tion of the people Of each county or
community, let the law be what it
may. Let each county have tho re-
sponsibility on its own shoulders for
the existence or non-existence of The
saloon within its b0iders. The vote
OF the people is of itself an influence.
when 1t is cast for temperance, moro
potent than the sentence cf the courts.
The agitation Of the question keeps
moral sentiment in action.
The Southern States, by means of
county option, have almost covered en-
tire commonwealths with effective
prohibition. If county prohibition be
not Ill the temperance reformer desires

SENATORIAL ELECTION.

The Senatorial agony is over In Min.
nesota, aud Gen. Washburn is the
Senator, chosen for the next vacancy.
Next to the Presidency the office of
Senator Is the most tempting to the
ambition ot American statesmen. 1t
has = six years term. A member Of
the lower house has to mako three con-
tests in order to keep his place the
Same length Of time. The Senator has
access to the executive of the nation
at oil times, aud is his official adviser.
The President must, give heed to an
ofRoo which has . veto power on his
nominations. and the influence st the
Senator ls greater than that Of any
other officer of the government. Tie
Senator has also great influence with
members Of the House. The debates
OF the Senate are decorous and deliber-
ate. Its sessions are free from much
that limits the member of the House.
There is no previous question to cut
of debate. The Senator. is heard when
be wants to speak. The courtesy of
tho Senate is without q parallel in the
world. Thus it is u pleasant body
tobe associated with. aud has power
enough to crafty a large ambition.
Therefore, it is coming to pass that
when = Senator is to b, chosen, q
critical period occurs often in the State
making the choice. The ordinary evils
OF election periods are Intensified as
we'll as multiplied.
The contest just closed has been
somewhat bitter and splenetic. But
the end is much more peaceable than
might have been supposed. As usual
there are many sore disappointments.
The attacks make on Mr.. Washburu
we're serious enough in their way, but
In no wise different from those en-
eountered by men Of force and ability
In public affairs. The efficient man
has a record which may be attacked.
1t may not be above criticism-few
men escape error. But better q man
with = record than the inefficient man,
who has done nothing to be criticised,
or perverted by his opponents.
Senator Washburn is an able aud
efficient man. He is q man who will
be heard from, and who will make his
State respected and influential. The
two Senators Minnesota will have will
command confidence and WELD intiu-
ence. No MinResOtian need blush for
his State rs represented in the Congress
OF the United States.

A LEGAL BLOV AT TRUSTS.


Jufge Barrett, or the New York Su.
preme Conrt, \ few days ago. gave a
knock down blow to the 80 cal ed
''rr"sts," or combinations to limit and
control the production and market
price Of the various commodities which
minister to human comfort and subsis-
tence. The suit was brought in the
name Of the people against the North
River Sugar Refining Company. Judge
Bsrrett, from the evidence, declared
this company to be a combination not
known to the laws aud not authorized
bv the laws, to conduct and control, in
their own interests, the sugar refining
business. The Judge decided that this
combination, made up of a series of
corporations, was thing Of no legal
life or authority. The business it un-
dertakes to do is declared to be ''un-
lawful in its character and purpose. b.

sion of their political rights.

TWO NEW COLORS.

One of Them Is Black Made from Cam
phor and Sulphuric Acid.
Two new colors are described in
various recent technical journals. The
first is apparently a reproduction of a
color known to the ancients, and made
by them with sand and lime, heated
with roasted copper. The pigment,
on analysis, appears to be a compound
silicate of lime and copper. 1t is now
made with exact proportions of the
materials, so that the product is uni
form, and the process seems likely to
furnish us with a material of great
value. The color is bright, greenish
blue, so that it will be more available
for decoration than French blue or
cobalt blue, both of which are of a
purplish cast, and do not mix well
with other colors, while it appears
to be as permanent as either of
them. The other color is q black,
which has been made by treating cam
phor with sulphuric acid. By steep
ing camphor in strong sulphuric acid
a jelly-like mass is formed, of red
dish color. When this is heated, it
boils, giving off fumes of sulphurous
acid, and turns intensely black. By
evaporation the uncopverted excess of
acid and camphor is driven off, and a
black mass remains, which seems to
have the qualities of Indian ink. Like
Indian ink, it can be apparently dis
solved in water, and remains sus-
pended for long time, We hope that
some one will pursue the subject Of
this camphor-black. A pure liquid
black is one of things that science has
searched for in vain for many years,
and even so near an approach to it as
good Indian ink would be a most use

The Latest Alleged Absurdlty in Grief for
Lamenting widows.
Come upstairs until l show you

for any thing" said a fashionable
widow to our sweet girl reporter.
The handsome leader of fashion, who
had been widowed for year or so, led
the way to large room on the second
floor. The door was thrown open and
the reporter took one glimpse and
then started back. The place at first
sight looked liked the inside of a
hearse.
'1t's the latest English, don't you

Grape gown. | didn't like it at first,

The room was furnished with hand
some suite of white enamel, and the
bed-spread and pillow-shams were Of
black satin marveilleux, embroidered
in black velvet applique with silver
thread, the monogram of the widow
being worked in silver on the center Of
both spread, and shams. The toilet
table and little escritoire were draped
in the same manner, and at the win
dows were thin curtains of black lib
erty silk against white lace.
Look here" said the pretty widow
and she threw back the bed-covers
displaying sheets of black silk hem
stitched in white, and black silk slips
on the pillows.

Every seat in the car was taken. a

"Now," whispered a moralizer to

The poor working-man and the
richly-dressed flop both saw the wo-

lifted his silk hat, with his gloved
hand, and politely requested the wo.

Two Canal Routes.

The situations at Panama and in
Nicaragua present an extraordinary
contrast. The two schemes of run
ming waterways from ocean to ocean
outstrip in commercial and engineer
ing importance anything attempted
in history, The amount of hard cash
sunk at Panama by the French peo-
pie would be in itself enough to stag
ger less sanguine race. Think of
$3.50, 100000 actually paid into the
treasury of the Panama canal COM
pany-about 1925 for every man, wo-
man and child in France. The pres
ent aim of the Panama canal COM
pany is to secure money enough to
save the plant and to institute an in,
vestigation by experienced engineers,
out of which may come another
program. The French ran headlong
into Panama, and after landing upon
the rocks are slowly coming to their
senses. The Investigations now pro-
posed should have been instituted ten
years ago.
The Nicaragua project, upon the
other hand, exhibits all the charac-
teristics of the Yankee thrift and fore
sight. Its promoters know more
about Nicaragua than De Lesseps ever
did about Panama. Every important
engineering detail has been settled fol
months. The length of the canal will
be about 40 miles, only about 80 Of
which will require excavation. There
will be breakwater at Greytown on
the Caribbean sea, 10 miles of dredg
ing through low country, four mile:
of free navigation by means of dan
across a small river named DeseadO
a rock cut of three miles, and u mile:
of free navigation in small valleys
leading to the San Juan river, where
a dam will raise the water in LAKE
and river so as to secure GA more
miles of free navigation. On thu
western side of the lake a cut of eigh
miles, a series of locks and an exca
walton of two miles bring the canal t.
the Pacific. A dispatch from Grey
town says that 700 men are engaged
upon the preliminary work of build
ing the canal. Warehouses and bar
racks have been put up and the ter
minus of the construction railroad
laid. The harbor will be ready 70
the dredges as soon as the derrick
and pile drivers arrive from the Unit
ed States.
