kftnYrso OF taking preliminary steps
"sse!.iizing whit is known as an
mt league. The principal OBJ
.e league is to enforce prohibition.
Is a state organization known as the
..h Dakota enforcement league, and the
Getting held Sunday was for the purpose
of establishing an auxiliary to the state
society. Attorney Z. w. Martin, being a
member OF the state central committee of
the league, presided. The room was packed
with citizens of every turn of mind, aud
there were saloon keepers, ministers, pro-
hibitionists, capitalists, ladies', Cinnamon
and negroes in the throng. The majority
of those present were liberal on the whisky
question and they had dropped i'll to listen.
In fact it had been whispered that the anti.
prohibitionists would pack the convention
and TINT some lively debates would take
place. But rs TO this proposition every one
was fooled. 1t was purely n one-man show.
Mr.. Martin did nil of the talking. aud
after explaining what the League was for he
invited any one present. who desired tc
-Hneak. There being no response, he hnr-
ricdly adjourned the meeting to n church
around the corner and proceeded to elect
officers. Twenty-six names were enrolled,
a number of them being women. None of
b saloonkeercrs went into the church.
One saloon man said: What we ought
to have done was to have signed the con-
stitution and Joined the league. We
would then have had three votes to the
prohibitionists' one, and could nave elected
our kind of people to Office and run the
league to suit ourselves" Tho league pro-
poses to raise funds at once and begin a
vigorous war against the sale of liquor in
Deadwood and Lawrence county. The
saloons here are run wide open and pay no
license whatever. One ortwo places make
a bluff Mt dealing out drinks i'll original
packages. while others sell it the sane as
when they We're licensed. The orr .inal
packages are filled by the saloon men
here. The bottles are of different sizes,
holding from one to a dozen drinks. The
bottle is opened by the customer, who is
furnished with the customary soda drink.

The telegraph company has posted up
the following crop bulletin at Winnipeg:
1t is now the general opinion among farmers
in this country that the Manitoba wheat cror
for 1890 is assured. Reports received from
seventeen grain centers in Manitoba and west.
ern territorits show very encouraging news Of
the condition Of crops. Many farmers assert
that even II W should have no more rain this
season wheat cannot suffer from drought,as the
plants have taken good root and are in . healthy
and vigorous conditions. This is perhaps NOT

been an increase in the acreage sown over last
year.

Notes and Personals.

So far as railroads are concerned there
is nothing that so deeply interests Fort
Worth as the Albuquerque road. II thai
line Is built there is not a particle o.
doubt that it will be world of benefi =
TO the city. 1t will draw as tributary O
Fort Worth one of the finest agricultural
sections of the state and will open up
one of the finest coal territories that can
be found il Texas. This fact does not ap-
pear to be fully appreciated by tn g peo-
pie Of the CITY. They do not seem to
look on this enterprise with that degree
Of favor they should. If they let the
matter drop, and let the Albuquerque
road stop where 1t is there is no doubt
that a line 20 the northwestern territory
will be built by some other city, and
when that is done Fort Worth can bid
farewell to a trade that would have been
hers for the asking.
1t Is said that there is a plan on foot
which II cooperation can be bad will
secure the building of the Albuquerque
road TO Spriugtown. Let the business
men look into it and give It due consid-

Fort Worth wants is the road, and she
can have ii II she so elects.

The Commission Question.


1t is not improbable that the question
of the legality of paying commissions or
the sale of passenger tickets will be de-
cided indirectly ID the case against GEN
eral Passenger Agent D. b. Martin, re-
Gently instigated on the charge of vio-
lating the interstate commerce law, If
the case is ever tried. 1t is and has been
for years practice among some railroads
to furnish to committees on transportation
or TO persons in u position to control the
route of travel for considerable party
of passengers free transportation, not in
passes, but in regular tickets. They do
this under the advice of the general
counsel or attorney OF the road, that the
practice is perfectly legal, for the reason
that the influence of the transportation
committee is valuable consideration to
the road and can therefore be bargained
for. 1t amounts practically to the pay
meut OF n commission for securing busl-
ness, and whether the commission may
be paid in money or its eq iiyalent, a
ticket may not matter. Whether the
Big Four people granted any free trans
portatiou in this case, they as yet neither
affirm or deny. The three alleged bene-
ficiaries do deny the fact. Possibly they
may not be the persons to whom the
transportation was Issued. Decisions on
abundant, and test of tie legality of
commission payments would be of inter-
est to u great many people.

After ihirtv-one years of experiences In

out something that will command more
than a passing attention. He Is an old
