TEMPERANCE soCIABlL1TY.
The Liquor Problem Discussed
Under Pleasant Auspices.

L
The beautiful home of Hugh Harri-
son was thrown open last night to the
young men of the Plymouth Congrega-
tional church. The occasion being the
regular meeting of the young mems al
lance. The topic of discussion for the
evening was prohibition or High
License.' A paper was read by ii. E.
Wood, advocating high license. DR.. R.
O. Beard was also to have presented
this side of the subject, but was not
present. C. III. J. Bliss and Hugh Har-
rison had papers advancing cOnstitu-
tional prohibition.
The topic was taken under general
discussion by the twenty-five or thirty
gentlemen present, when the papers
had been read and the debate was full
of spirit. For time Mr.. Harrison met
the brunt of the fire of questions. He
had taken the stand that high license
was worse than no license at all. and
held. furthermore, that the high
license was a bar to the establish
ment of prohibition. He had quoted
Maine and Iowa as prohibition states,
and said that it was success there.
This was questioned by some. and in
reply to this. then he gave answers
from fourteen district judges Of Iowa,
all of which went to show that prohibit
ton had practically prohibited. A
strong point in Mr.. Harrison's paper
YES the sentence that there was no con-
test between law and no law, but be-
tween.a law that permitted and ban
that prohibited, and from this he went
on to show how all the saloon men were
in favor of license.
F. w. Reed made himself the target
toward which the questions turned by
taking position in favor of high
license. But he afterward avowed that
he was Prohibitionist.
The discussion closed at late hour,
and the group of scholars turned into
social party and enjoyed refreshments,
furnished by MIR. Harrison's hospitality.
The next meeting is June 3. and the
subject will be, .What reform should
be made of the electoral system?''

THE FARMERS HEARD FROM
In Regard to the MinnetOnka
Dams and the BridGes-Acts of

In Regard to the Minnetonka
Dams and the Bridges-Acts of
the County Commissioners.
The proposed action of the county
commissioners seems to have awakened
quite little agitation among the farm
ers and millers about the lake and along
the banks of Minnehaha creek. The
owners of the Edna grist mill brought
in petition asking that commissioners
do something to regulate the flow of
water in the stream, and as 1t was low
at present. not to dam MinnetOnka
at once, as it would be much to the detri-
ment of not only the miilers, but the
farmers of Richfield, Eden Prairie and
Minnetonka. Andrew Craik, who was
present, said that Harlow Gale s:and Mr..
Burwell, his partner, have complete
control of the gates, and use it to the
detriment of the smaller mills down the
stream. A copy of petition that is be-
ing circulated among the farmers whose
lands lie adjoining Minnetonka was
also prese nted with the statements that
there would be meetings held to re-
monstrate against damming the outlet of
the lake.
The petition asks the county fathers
to consider those who have converted
the country about the lake from
s.howling wilderness into the beautiful
land that it now u.s." rather than the
strangers who are pleasure seekers.
They say that if the dam is built and
the water raised great deal of their
low land will be covered and they will
be drowned out, and their land fit only
to ''catch fish on by the otherwise well
come pleasure seekers" It remon-
s eaed aginss fs NgaVeao 5e co
pany'' to ask that the water be raised.
Notwithstanding all this. it seems
quite likely, from the commissioners
present stand, that the dam will be

WANT THE TOP.
The Edison People Apply fol
Their Ground Space.

e. Fl. Dorsett returned yesterday
from st. Louis, where he has been
experimenting the plans which are be-
ing drawn for the Dorsett plant in that
city. A thirty-five-year franchise has
been obtained in st. Louis, and the en-
gineerS are buSily at work on the plans.
Mr.. Dorsett reports the work of laying
c0nduits progressing rapidly. The con-
duits in the business part of the city are
practically all laid. The manhole ques-
ton which was referred to the city
attorney a while ago, and who re-
ported there was no authority in the
ordinance for putting in manhOleS, {
has not been settled. But" said Mr..
Dorset with a twinkle in his eye, 1--WE
are looking out for improvements and
are in hopes that some plan will soon
be devised for getting in and out of con-,
duits without manholes."
The Edison people have applied to
the city engineer to leave space assigned
them in accordance with the action OF
council at its last meeting, but there is.
a little delay over the fact that the en-.
gineer and the applicant do not agree
as to what space shall be given. The.
Edison com pany wants 24x20 inches
on the top OF the trench and not more
than thirty-fOur inches from the bottomt
Of their conduit to the surface. The
engineer thinks it would be difficult for
any one to go under them if that were
done, and so the space has not yet been
assigned. No other applications haveE
been received for space in the trench.

Minneapolis bondh0lders aud they had
sold it tO.the Rock Island road at a good
high price, and it was now. some or
these gentlemen who had the money the
city had donated in their pockets that
were urging the step as moral Obliga-
ton. The road, he said, besides, buy
ing out these bOndhOlders. had put
$4,000, 600 improvements in Minnesota.
He said a former committee OF the
board of trade had not only denounced
the officials of the road but said that
the road was an impeachment to public
progress because they did not acquiesce
to the Manitoba in its demands. He
knew not if the report was conceived
in. ignorance or born Of falseho0d,
but it was untrue. He made a
ManitOba's proposition would be simply
ruinous to their interests; that the
courts had SO far made decisions in
their favor, and that he was not afraid
but that they would. 1t they were
finally forced to cOncede to the Mani
TOBIAS plans, they would simply have to
pull up their tracks and get out of the
city. AS matter of professional pride
he would rather the city would not ac-
cept the St. Louis proposition, as lie
was firm in the belief that the supreme
court would finally reverse the decision
in the action now pending.
A number of questions were asked by
the members of the board, and, among
others, j. b. Bassett wanted to know ii
the st. Louis road was willing to arbi-
trate. In reply Col. Springer said that
they had arbitrated before the highest
authority in the country, and the de-
ciSiOn was in their favor. Mr.. Clough
thought he would find out that the ar
bitration to which he referred to was
only just begun, but Mr.. Springer said
he would risk it.
Col, Springer had plan for lowering
all the tracks into one right of way and
bridging over them.
W. II. Truesdale spoke, second
ing all that Col. Springer had said, and
proposed another plan which, he said.
had been recommended by competent
engineers and could be to no ones detri-
ment.
Col. Clough answered these twOprop-
0sitiOns by saying the scheme that MIR.
Truesdale proposed had been examined
by their engineers and that it could not
be done, and Col. Springer's PROPOSE
ton was one of old standing that they
had already refused to consider. The
plan which Mr.. Truesdale advocated
met with the most favor, and was OBJ
jected to by the Manitoba officials
only OH the ground that it could not be
carried out.
A motion was carried that commit
tee of five be appointed to meet with
the Manitoba and st. Louis officials, and
President Wyman will think awhile as
to who the best men will be and appoint
them.

Last night J. B. Polk made his reap
pearance at the Grand Opera house to a
fair audience. Mr.. Polk presented his
farcical comedy MIXED Pickles. which
has been seen here a number of times,
and which never fails to please.
Mr.. Polk played the part of 10 Pickle
with the same dash and abandon that
has previously characterized his work,

roles in an acceptable manner. Mr..
Polk is an accomplished and artistic
actor, and "MiXed Pickles. is an anus

from the time the curtain rises I'M
til it falls. The people in the
company are artists OF refine
ment and originality, and the large
audience in attendance received the
performance enthusiastically. James

bright comedietta which they call, ''ls
Marriage a Fallure?' The dog circus
pleased greatly, and Mcintyre and Rice,
character change artists. give a spark

brothers and Jennie Pickert are without
doubt the best dancers that ever APP
peared upon the local stage. The statue

Whereas, In an editorial in the Min

May 10, 1889, the following sentence in
quotation marks is attributed to Henry

private property is robbery" I
hereby offer reward Of $50 to the
editor of the Tribune or to any other
person who will find such a sentence,
or any similar sentiment. in any of the
authorized published works Of Henry
George.
Mr.. George does contend that absolute
private property in the resources of
nature is robbery-robbery of the equal
rights of all others; but holds, and for
titles his position with great force, that
each individual has natural, unques-

erty in all that his labor has produced,
and argued right with all others to pos
session and use of natures free gift to
