sion had examined all the personal ef-
fects of tho deceased. He had found let
ters in plenty, both at the office Of Tenn
pleton and his boarding place, but none
that threw any light upon the motive OF
the deed or which even demanded In
1uiry.
The books and business papers were In
excellent and methodical shape. He
was certain after closing everything up
and paying all outstanding obligations
he could turn over something above
thirty thousand dollars to be- added to
the fortune of Mrs. Templeton. The
greater part of this money was already
in government bonds deposited in a
safety vault.
The ladies were comfortably situated
in Lexington avenue, and he saw them
nearly nightly.
He had been over to see old George
Dolwell on Long Island, and had con,
versed with him as to Wessing's visit.
Little had come of that visit Messing
had not been by any means communities
tive, had adroitly avoided direct answers
to direct questions, and had tried to draw
upon Dolwell for recollection of the pa
pers of Pierson when in the office.
AS these principally related to lhiga'
ton over the collecting Of business debts,
and the settling Of partnership enterprises
and speculations, wholly commercial and
financial affairs. Dolwelrs recollection
had interested him little.
He had asked how much Pierson had
left, and Dolwell thought over two mil
lions. His only significant question was
this:
"Had Mr.. Dolwell reason to suppose
that Pierson had ever borne any other
name?"
"Ahr cried Tom, "that is getting
warm. What was Dolwell's replyw
"No. upon the contrary he had every
reason to believe he had not; he had first
known of Mr.. Pierson twenty-five years
ago, and he then bore that name, and
was known as reputable merchant"

Toms remark he turned quickly around
and bringing his hands together with q

Mrs. Logan as an Editor

Mrs. John A. Logan has become
distinctly literary woman, and each
day finds her in the editorial chair pre-
siding over her Home Magazine.
DO l like editorial work2" in repo-
tition of my inquiry. Eyes, very much,
l like to keep busy, and you know a
magazine does that if nothing. Then,
since the generals death, l find my
self better in being constantly en-
ployed, with as little time left me as
possible for personal thoughts. I am
now writing my "reminiscences, which
will embody those of General Logan,
and shall publish them through my
magazine. Literary work is very CON
genial labor when ones interest is in
it. Mine is, and SO am happy. 1t is
a busy life, but as said before, it is
best to have every moment of my time
engrossed. The cares of editorial work
have certainly not left their traces on
Mrs. Logan's face. She retains her
perfect health, and seems contented in
her new work. Her hair is now snowy
white, which she wears combed very
high. Her eyes are as expressive as
ever, while her manners retain the
same charm as of old. She is thor
ough business woman, with an appTe-
citation of the practical side of itera-
ture, and this aids her wonderfully in
her editorial dutie5.-Press and Print

A WASHINGTON LETTER.

Temperance interests in Congress
are unusually active. First came the
favorable report from the Committee
on Alcoholic Liquor Traffic for the ap-
pointment of Commission of Enqui-
ry. Then favorable report on the
bill to prohibit the transportation of
intoxicating liquors from any state or
territory of the United States or of the
District of Columbia into any other
state or territory of the United States
contrary to, and in violation of, the
laws thereof. Later, in providing a
temporary government for the terri
tory of Oklahoma, by a vote of 1873 to
1O4, Prohibition triumphed. The
House set aside the report, an unusual
thing, INDUCED in vigorous debate
on the relative merits of high license
and prohibition, and on test yea-and
nay vote, Prohibition won by twenty
nine majority. This closes the new
territory to the rum fends during it's:
formative period. In the discussion it
was charged that the Kansas prohibi-
ton law did not prohibit the sale of IL
quor in that state. Mr.. Funston, of
Kansas, replying, said: "The statement
is not the truth. I am here to say we
have had prohibition in our Constitu-
ton and in our laws since 1880; and 1
am hereto say we have gained about
100000 annually in population, al
though it was said the state would be
depopulated as soon as we passed the
prohibition law. We have q state 400
miles east and west, 200 miles north
and south, with population of 1,6OO,-
600, and not one open saloon in it"
That the defeat of high license and
the triumph of Prohibition for Okla
homa in the House Of Representatives
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1890-04-24

is significant is evident from the note
of warning sounded by the beer organ
here, the Washington Sentinel. 1t de
clares: "The personal liberty people
through the country have no idea OF
the power which prohibition has at
tanned at the National Capital. What
has been done in Oklahoma can be
done Just as we'll in the District OF
Columbia" Certainly, and will be.
A bill is already introduced by Senat-
or Platt, of Connecticut, prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors in the District, which in
it's provisions is one of the most strin-
gent laws ever attempted to be enacted.
It absolutely prohibits the manufac-
ture, sale or, importation into the Dis
trict of any kind of intoxicating liquor.
1t makes it penal offense even to give
it away, and in this respect adds to the
prohibitory clauses the germane part
of the anti-treating laws which exist in
several of the states. A setback comes
to us the past week in the favorable
action of the House on the provision
in the Military Bill allowing the sale
of liquors in the "Canteens" at military
posts. As congress permits "Can-
teen" at either end of the Capitol
building for it's refreshment, it seems
to think it necessary for the soldiers.
The idea seems TO be that by allowing
the sale of beer and wine at the post,
the men are kept from grosser indul-
gence in outside saloons, and in case
of extravaganza dissipation the men
would be under better control. So ev-
cry family may reason that it would be
better to spread the lighter drinks on
the sideboard and let the boys have
their beer and wine, that they might
be saved from the vicious surround
ings and merciless feecings of the
groggery or sample room; and, in case
any of them should go too far and be-
come drunk and disorderly, mother
might put them to bed comfortably
instead of having them spend the
night in the gutter or the lookup.
There is nothing like making the
whisky business respectable. To tame
it, or control it, is a good deal like tam
ing tiger or controlling a rattlesnake
but the experiment at least is pictur,
esque and interesting. The much.

You can't buy drinks standing up, but

latial, and every way respectable adj

by the newspapers, recently there was
a general melee among some drinking

THURSDAY, APR. "a, 1880.

The Boulder ,(Mont.) Age hits the
mark in speaking of the recent parti-
san action of the e. S. senate in adj
hitting Montana senators, that "at the
least it might be expected that all four

Concerning state ownership of rail-
roads, correspondent of the Hutch
inson Leader writes: fortunately
such ownership is not an experiment.
Germany is an illustration. Some years
ago such liberals as Edward Lasker
combined with Prince Bismarck to OBJ
tain state control of the German rail
roads; there was much apprehension
at first about the result; but many ia
vorable conditions have come from it:
a much better service was secured and
the profits from the German state rail
roads now more than pay the interest
upon the public debt of the German
Empire. American industry is paying
a railroad tax that would be sufficient
to sustain the standing army of the
German Empire in a continuous war.
