THE LIQUOR TAX IN ENGLAND.

F.. An Incorporate faction of the English
temperance party is shrieking itself
hoarse just at present and it's cry is no
compensation. It has secured a large
; measure OF support from the opposition
side of the house of commons, who are
fully prepared to further any and every
scheme that may embarrass the party in
power. The trouble arises in this way.
Following up process OF decentraliza-
tion rendered necessary by over-pressure,
obstruction and an increasing sgift OF
the CAB" among it's members, the COM
mons recently delegated to local bodies
large share of purely local business
that the house has been in the habit OF
transacting. For the maintenance OF
these local councils funds had to be pro-
yided. This the chancellor Of tho ex-
chequer proposes to accomplish by
means of an increase of the duties on
LIQUOR. From the additional revenue
that will accrue, he intends to set aside
for local purposes a sum OF about six
and one-half millions of dollars. Part OF
it is to be expended in police superannu-
ation and part in the furtherance of ed
vocational facilities in Scotland and Ire
land. As the source from which all
these grants are to come is the liquor
traffic, the government determined that
q portion of the tax should be devoted
to removing some of the evils of tina,
traffic, and set aside some two and one
half million dollars to be used by loca
authorities in buying up and extinguish
ing such licenses as they consider IN
desirable It is this section of the gov
eminent bill that has aroused the oppo
sition of the temperance party. The,
demand that no compensation shall bt
given to saloon keepers VINO may by ths
action of these local bodies be deprived
Of their means of livelihood. It is nee
essary to explain that the English sys
tenn requires the renewal OF a licens'
from year to year. It costs the salool
keeper small annual payment and h.
is required to conduct his business t,
the satisfaction of the local superintend
emit Of police whose advice is followed b.
the licensing authorities at their yearl,
meetings. The saloon keeper who in
jured the morals or the responsibility Q
his neighborhood lost his license; he ha,
no other reason to fear its removal.
We cannot doubt that many OF tn
directors are thoroughly convinced o
the honesty and fairness Of their posi-
ton, but fanaticism has made them un
reasonable. They contend that becaus
license runs only from year to yeal
and because ct the end Of tho year

whose annual visits along the Northern
Pacific in his private car have been
missed for two or three seasons, has be-
come the president of the American
Water Purifying company, which is
manufacturing and putting upon the
market a scientific apparatus that will
produce pure water out of the foulest
fluid known by that name. If it can do
all that is said of it in the Worcester
Spy it will be a valuable "still' for some
localities. Along the Missouri river,
where water in abundance, hat is self
purifying, IA be procured, no machin-
cry is needed. With plenty of Missouri
water and plenty of "prohicition" to en-
force its use, the "slope" is all right

The TRIBUNE's farmer biographies
have awakened interest in the north
western press, some of them being lib
orally clipped and duly credited. The
Sioux City Journal of the 18th inst. re-
prints q portion of the sketch relating to
Farmer Burch, with the heading "He Is
satisfed-a young American farmer who
has made a home for himself" These
historical sketches which the TRIBUNE
is publishing from time to time, should
be clipped and placed in the scrap book
of every resident of the slope, as in after
years they will be found very valuable.
In this connection the TRIBUNE wishes
to say that its special correspondent
has only begun. He will be kept busy
on this special feature work all summer.
He has not yet been over half the coun-
ty. His harvest time statistics will also
be found interesting. All these articles
appear in the weekly edition. The

on the points of difference on the silver
bill by formulating a substitute bill,
which provides that the secretary of the
treasury shall purchase from time to

amount of 100000 ounces, or so much
thereof as may be offered in each month,
at the market price thereof, not exceed
ing 81 for 371H grains of pure silver.
The treasury notes issued in payment
for the bullion shall be redeemable
in coin, and a legal tender in pay
ment of all debts, public and private,
except where otherwise expressly stipu-
lated in the contract, and shall
be receivable for customs, taxes, and all

such notes in gold or silver coin at his
discretion, it being the established pol

THERE will soon be more money in cir
culation and even the North Dakota far
mel ought to get a little. The silver bill
was signed as o O as presented to the
president and takes effect August 18th.
AS the Minneapolis Tribune says: 1.-THE
final enactment of the measure does not
seem to have produced any marked eff
feet upon the speculative markets, but in
the long run it cannot fail to stimulate
activity and enhance values. To begin
with, it will release the sum of $780,
600 now held in the treasury as a re-
demption fund for national bank notes.
The injection of that vast sum into the
circulating medium of the country must
at nee produce an easier money market.
In addition to this, there will be an al
dition of $5,000,O00 per month, instead of
$2,000,0O0, as now, to the silver dollar
and silver certificate currency. We may
therefore look for great ease of none
after the middle of August.

EDITOR STREETER, of the Emmons
County Record, who is a member of the
state central republican committee and
who attended the meeting Of the commit
tee at Fargo June 18th. has this to say in
the Record of the 9th:
The writer talked with leading republi-
cans from all parts of the state, and one
thing he learned was that the Winship-
Goodwin crowd of implacables and de-
famers have no following to speak of.
Many republicans who have no use for the
lottery, but who believe in respecting the
opinion of others, were Outsp0ken in de-
nunciatiOn of those who were trying to
make political capital for themselves, ever
if such action should endanger the success
of the republican party. Goodwin was
which seemed to say to every n with
whom he. shook hands, "Please, Mister,
don't pull my nose." M. N. Johnson, the
able n aggressive representative of the
Scandinavian element of North Dakota,
was in the city. His loyalty to the party
undo rough treatment has shown his rue
nobility of character and made him many
friends. he has demoraliZed the prohibit
ton element by declaring that he is in the
field as a candidate for HanSbrOugh's seat.
He says: II 80 to congress orI 30 into the
ditch" His boom is also being helped
along. by the ''octopus"-shrieking hired ed
itor of Hansbrough's Devils Lake Inter.
Ocean. johnson is a much more able
man than Hansbr0ugh, but the latter has
done some good. hard work at Washing
ton for his constituents, and it will be
nip and tuck at Grand Forks between the
two.

JOHN. @. FREMONT, the first presiden-
tial candidate of the republican party in
1865 and hero of the Rocky mountain
explorations, passed away Sunday at his
home in New York. He was in his 18th
year. He was military governor of Cal
ifornia in 1845 and United States senator
from that state in 1S49, serving until
1861. He was major-general in tho
United States army in 1862 and COVER
nor of Arizona from 1878 to 1882. For
the past few years General Fremont has
been in somewhat Strengthened financial
circumstances. But only a few months
ago 1t was discovered that the govern
ment was more than $4,000 in his debt,
and the old veteran died in comfort.

In the Grand Forks department of the

In the Grand Forks department of the
Fargo Argus it is stated on the authority
of DR.. P. G. Donovan, of Neche, that a
letter written by Judge Corliss to some
parties in the east, in answer to an in
quiry by them regarding the prohibition
law in North Dakota, which if such let
ter has been written, clearly shows his
views in regard to the status of the pro-
hibition law. The letter states:
"That while he was in favor of prohibit
ton and would like to see it succeed, he
must truthfully say that in his opinion the
prohibition law in North Dakota was I'M
Constitutional, as it did not, as required,
have a majority of all the votes cast, and
Notwithstanding that it had been declared
binding. Yet, the ideas of any individu-
ais or persons should be discountenanced
in the face of the laws of the state, which
should be regarded and respected in this
as in any other case" This, if a fact, comes
from pretty good aut hority, and may set
high license people thinking.

GOVERNOR MILLER and George B.
Winship, self-constituted conservators of
the public morals, are more directly re-
sponsible for the passage of the lottery
bill by the last legislature than any
other two men or fifty men in the state.
These men were familiar with the pro-
visions of the bill long before it was in
troduced. Will Governor Miller deny
that he saw a copy of the bill and knew
its provisions several weeks before it
was introduced? IT it appeared to him
as such a "hydra-headed monster" why
did he not sound the alarm? WHY did
he keep mum until the organization of
the lottery men was perfected and the
sentiment Of the legislature and the PEG.
pie polled? Why didn't Winsh1p
came out with ''thunderer' in his pa
per, "giving away" the protested scheme
of these mem and thwart them in their
"hellish" design before a ''blot on the
fair %escutcheon of the state" ETC., ETC.,
could be made? Let there be no mis-
understanding about this matter. Both
Miller and. Winship knew all about the
lottery bill long before it was introduced.
The fact that they remained quiet is
significant. What is the natural conclu-
sion? 1t was not the states interests
they had in mind. They are dishonest
when they make such a claim. They
figured that to get two-thirds of the
legislature was a difficult task and that
by remaining quiet until the matter was
promulgated they could then pose as the
"~saviors of their country" and the
"dear people, would never know the
difference aud-what a big thing politi.
cally it might be for the firm of
Winshlp, Miller & GOETHE farmers
would sallow it and they would ride on
the crest of the political wave this fall.
1t would be sufficient capital and stock

Neither of the gentlemen named herein
will deny the charge of having possessed
full knowledge of the lottery bill long
before it was introduced. "Set up stoves
Goodwin also knew it and does not hest
tate to say so. The opinions of anti.

a newspaper man, but even an "estray"
may not be justified in going too far

him that it will not be until after the re-

IT is nip and tuck between Chicago
and Philadelphia for the second place in
the list of great cities. The population
of each will be in the neighborhood of
100000. Brooklyn comes fourth with
100000; St. Louis fifth, with 448,OO0;
Boston sixth, with $4,000; Baltimore
seventh, with 433,OOO. 1t is probable
that Cincinnati will be the eighth, and
for the ninth it is about an even stand
off between San Francisco and Buffalo,
N. Y. The census bureau is now enu-
merating the returns at the rate of one
million names a day and it is believed
that the population of the United States
