The Chicago Tribune's Washington
correspondent gives it out fiat that the
Morrill, Mckinley tariff bill has been
given a private burial. Several western
senators have combined with New Eng
land senators who are pushed by the
demand for free raw material, and to-
gether they have agreed to put up the
headstone. Among the western senators
who, it is said, went into the movement
to lay the bill away without fuss or
feathers, are Spooner of Wisconsin, Far
we'll of Illinois, Plumb of Kansas, Davis
of Minnesota and Henderson of Ne.

A WINNIPEG special says the news re-
ceived from Hudson bay forts on the
Mackenzie states that a staff tof United
States surveyors has determined the
141st meridian, which forms the bounda-
ry between Canada and Alaska, to be
twenty-eigbt miles further east than it
was generally supposed to be. This will
transfer a long stretch of the gold-bear-
ing district of the Yukon in the United
States, and will also place the Hudson
bay company's post of the Rampant
house outside of British territory. This
will result in the closing Of this post, as
some years ago the company was mott
fed by the American government to
withdraw all it's posts from Alaska terri
tory.

The electric storm Sunday night, COM
mencing about. half-past ten o'clock and
continuing until after eleven, accom-
panied with a heavy rain fall, a slight
scattering of hail at intervals and an &C.
casional heavy clap of thunder, was al
together a most magnificent rendering OF
the disarranged elements. The wind
was not alarmingly strong at any time
and there was nothing disagreeably sug-
gestive in the down-pour of the rain.
But the continuous vivid flashes of
lightning was unusual and it seemed as
if the atmosphere was all ablaze, 80 un-
interrupted was the dazzling light. Al
though no damage came of it in Bis
marck no doubt everybody felt relieved
when the storm had passed by.

The substitute for the Wilson bill re-
lating to "original packages" reported
by the house judiciary committee, meets
with considerable objection on account
of it's very much enlarged scope and
there is more than a reasonable doubt Of
its passage. It is thought that If the
substitute should pass the house it would
be amended IN the senate to it's original
shape and a long and tedious conference
would ensue, resulting in the end in no
legislation upon the subject. And it
looks very much that way at the pres
ont.

JUDGE FOSTER of the United States
court having decided in a Kansas case
that original package liquor dealers can
not be held in arrest for pursuing that
branch of business, efforts in that direc-
ton to evade the results of the decision of
the higher court will probably be aban-
doned as useless. There is nothing in
the decision of the supreme court to in
dictate where beer or liquor may or may
not be used when purchased in original
packages, nor is there any law prescrib.
ing when the possessor of the same may
place them where, in his opinion, "they

SECRETARY RUsK and Major Powell
are now at outs on the subject of irriga-
ton. The secretary believes there is a
much cheaper method to reclaim the arid
regions than the one proposed by Major
Powell, and is preparing to demonstrate
it. He believes that ample supplies of
water can be obtained for irrigating pur-
poses from below the surface of the earth
by the artesian we'll system, and at an
expense of scarcely l per cent. of the
the estiml ted amount to be required by
the Powell scheme. "The heavens
above are doing very we'll for North

The feeling of antagonism over the
federal election bill at the south is said
to be very bitter. Not much is being
said, but it is predicted that it's passage
will undo all that years of peace have
accomplished and will lead to a boycott
ing of northern products as far as posi-
BILE. White laborers from abroad will
be substituted for negroes as rapidly as
the change can be made, hoping thereby
to drive the colored population to the
north and west The slavery question
is settled, but the race problem is still a
vexatious one. Political equality be-
tween the whites and blacks may be en-
forced, but it will never come of its own
free will and accord.

That Secretary Blaine's new attitude
on the tariff question is attracting un-
usual attention in political circles is
not a matter of surprise. Blaine
demands the opening of all ports to this
country to free trace, that larger mar
ket be obtained for the CONSTRUCTED in
dustries of the United States. That
there is a serious difference of opinion
between the prominent statesmen of the
republican party on this question at the
present time it is useless to deny. The
new propositions of Mr.. Blaine reveal
his quick perception of the bent of popu-
lar thought.

INDICATIONS are not favorable for the
passage of the federal election bill by
the senate. It is stated by as reliable a
Washington correspondent as William
E. Curtis that there are at least a dozen
men on the republican side who openly
express themselves opposed to the meas
IRE, and among them are the recognized
leaders Of the party, such as Edmunds,
Sherman, Cameron, Quay, Hiscock and
others. MI. Edmunds declared that the
bill shall not become a law until it has
been given the serious study it deserves.
Mr.. Cameron is ven more outspoken in
his opposition, and says he will not sup
port it under any circumstances. Mr..
Hoar is very ardent in his support of the
bill, and will put it through if possible.
Mr.. Chandler proposed a new rule
to limit debate and save time, which was
not favorably received. Mr.. Edmunds
has declared that there must be one de-
Lucrative body in the world where de-
bate can not be cut off upon the motion
of a member or at the dictation of the
presiding officer. Several other senators
agreed with him. The democrats, who
are determined that no such bill shall
pass SO long'as they q prevent it, are,
Of course, in a position to prolong dis
cussion until the nights are longer than
the days again before coming to a vote if
they are SO inclined, and no doubt they
are. The probabilities are that the bill
will be pigeon-holed for the present ses-

HOW IT MORRIS IN IOWA.

The undeniable fact that the question
of managing the liquor traffic will be an
important element in the coming state
election is sufficient reason for frequent
ly recurring to the subject and present.
ing such evidence as may aid in an intel.
ligent disposal of the same. That prohi-
bition is impossible is so nearly an axi-
ON as to render argument to make the
assertion palmer, impracticable. That
"license," as a regulator, is practicable
has been demonstrated time and again
and NO other means has yet been discov-
cred to 80 effectually prevent an indis-
criminate sale of intoxicants. A start
ling array of facts and figures published
in the Des Moines, Iowa, Register, taken
from the official records, have led to this
introduction. 1t is shown that for the
first six months in 1890 there has been
taken from the treasury for the criminal
costs of the Justices courts in that city
alone over 100000. The law is being
used as it is everywhere where an at
tempt is made to enforce it, by a gang of
mercenary officials for the purpose of
plumber. Five justices received over
$1,000 of that amount. The remainder
went to constables, witnesses, jurors, etc
This enormous expenditure is mostly the
result of the searching business. A con-
stable goes to a justice Of the peace and
swears that he believes THAI the prohibit
ton law is being violated in a certain
place, a warrant is issued, the premises
are invaded, with sledge-hammers if nee
cessary to effect an entrance, and most
frequently a single bottle. not always
full, is the only thing seized. Arrests
are seldom made. The searchers go their
way and before they are out of sight the
place is running and customers are being
served as usual. The Register says:
"The records show that in hundreds of
cases a single bottle of beer has been put
on trial, and when it is convicted, con-
demned and ordered spilled in the gut
ter the county is called upon to pay
an average Of 1925 in COSTS" The
Iowa law, it will BIZ remembered, was
used largely as a model for the North
Dakota prohibition law and is it to be
wondered at that many an intelligent
taxpayer who is in favor of the best re-
straining force possible to keep down the
traffic feels restless under such a dan
gerous and mischief-inspiring statute?
