The Gem of The Moa8-

The Full Sister
hood of States
ONE UNBROKEN LINE OF STATES
FROM THE ATLANTIC TO
THE GOLDEN COAST.
Let Her People Rise to the Dignity Of
the Situation and Make Honest Eff
forts for Her Advancement,
Politically, Financially
and Numerically.

Idaho has been advanced to the
Sisterhood Of States. The wishes Of
her people have been respected, their
desires have been met. We cone now
Into full fellowship with the other
States of the Union and are made
joint heirs with them in alI the bless
ings afforded by the general govern
ment. Let us make the most Of it,
the best of 1t By her admission the
missing link in the great chain Of
States from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast has been supplied and We pre-
sent to the world now one solid chain
stretched from East to West across
the continent. All hail to Idaho, the
new link, the golden link. binding
the parts together. Our people have
prayed for this consummation, they
have worked for it heart and hand.
Irrespective of party utilization they
have held up the Delegates hands in
his labors to secure it, and may it be
their good fortune to enjoy the great
est blessings from it.
The future Of the new State will be
what the people make Of it. They are
to be the architects Of their own for
tunes. If they act wisely in the be-
ginning and select good, efficient and
honest officers, all will be well in the
future, but, on the other hand, if they
elect inefficient men they will weigh
them down for years and years.
NEW OFFICERS.
The first move to be made by the
people of the new State of Idaho will
be to elect new officers, State and
county officers. Much of the future
prosperity of the State and the success
of her people depend upon the selec.
tons made. Both parties should
name the best men at their command.
Professional politicians to the rear
and efficient men to the front. We
should have our best men in every
department, executive, Judicial and
Legislative. We want men in the ex.
ecutiye department who will see that
the laws are honestly, faithfully and
righteously executed, men on the
judicial bench who will mete out
justice between man and man with an
even hand, who will send professional
jurors and witnesses out of the court

court and men in the Legislature who
will legislate for the good of the
people and the whole people. In sell
Getting legislative body It should
not be to make United States Senators
alone but to enact new laws under a
new constitution that will be for the
best interests Of the new State. The
first legislative body should be com
posed of the best legislative talent at
the command Of the people because
that body win be called upon to enact
a new code Of laws in conformity with
new constitution and to do that il
will require talent, tact and special
ability for that kind of work. In

Our City Finances.

Below we publish the financial con.
dition and the amount of present in
debtedness OF the city of Brookings as
furnished by the city clerk and county
auditor. We agree with the Press OF
this city when it says that something
should be done to place the finances
OF the city in better condition." but
just what that something should
be we are unable to say. Ii the CITY
should be reorganized under new
charter, would it mend matters? The
present laws allow of city bonded
indebtedness of not to exceed five per
cent, this is the limit and under the new
organization the city would be enabled
to issue bonds to the amount of $780,
600. The city has an indebtedness OF
$29, 1862. This would leave the
sum OF SO, $685. on which no bonds
could be issued. Even ii we could find
a buyer for the $2O,OOO.OO worth OF
bonds the buyer would require thecity
officials to make affidavit that the
city had no other indebtedness in out
standing warrants and it is hardly to
be expected such affidavit would be
sworn to by the officials. This is
about the state of affairs as near as
we can learn and anyone Offering
feasible way out OF the dilema will
truly be a public beDeiactor. The
REGISTER is interested in the city's
welfare and earnestly hopes someone
may be able to get us ''out of the
woods" The city council we under.
stand would be pleased to learn of
some method whereby our condition
may be bettered for it has caused
them any amount OF perplexity. Can
anyone come to the rescue. Let our
financiers read the statement and put
on their thinking cap"

Demorest Medal Contest.

Music, light, flowers, white dresses
and sparkling young faces were at
tractive accessories at the Medal Con-
test on Thursday evening at the
Baptist church. The house was we'll
filled, young people forming large
part OF the audience. The cholr--our
college glee club-composed of young
men as "lithe, strong and handsome"
as "Charlie" before the temptations
OF the saloon changed him so that his
own mother knew not her boy, was
credit to our prohibition town.
The contestants, though young and
having little experience in public
speaking all did welI,. some extremely
well, and the judges regretted that
there was but one medal to bestow.
The selections in music under the
supervision OF Prof. Lapham and wife
were as pleasing and appropriate as
their choice OF musicians. Rev. Mr..
Work. Mrs. VanDoren, and Mr.. Frost
the judges, having compared notes
pronounced Miss Luella Metcalf the
successful competitor for the silver
medal. Her rendering OF "The Mar
ryred Mother" had been we'll received
and the announcement was received
with applause. Mrs. Will presented
the medal with q few appropriate re-
marks. The objects OF these contests
is not only to educate in temperance
principles out also to afford the young
an opportunity to acquire ease and
freedom from embarrassment which
comes only from repeated efforts in
the line of public speaking. The ladies

their next contest more advanced

IMPURE BEER AND LIQUORS.

American beer drinkers who i'm
agine that they get in all cases the
genuine pure product will be inter
ested in the lively fight which is now
being waged at Washington against
legislation prohibiting the manufact-
ure of beer out glucose and such
other mysterious articles Judging
by the energetic nature of the pro-
test, glucose beer making must be an
established industry of considerable
magnitude. In spite of the undeni-
able growth of pronounced temper
ance sentiment among the American
people, the production of beer in the
United States, which was 8,383,72o
barrels in 1875, was 25,o98,765 bar,
rels in 1889, or little less than half
a barrel per capita Of our population
Considering the large and increasing
number of total abstainers among
male adults, to say nothing Of women
and children, it is obvious that this
leaves our active beer drinkers very
generous annual allowance. But the
growth in the consumption of malt
liquors in this country is NOT SO indi-
cative of spread of drinking habits
among our people as hasty observers
sometimes think, according to the
Boston Journal, for it has been at
tended by steady decrease in the
consumption of spirituous liquors
In 1860, with a population only
about half as large as that at presnt,
the United States consumed 50 o68-
65r gallons of spirits. In 1880 the
consumption had to between 10000
900 and 100000 gallons. That
is, beer has taken the place of whisky
as the favorite tipple of drinking
Americans Whether the change
has been in any degree advantageous
is holly debated question. Brew
ers are naturally very positive that
the substitution of milder malt Ii
quors for the fiery and concentrated
spirits has been beneficial to the ply
sique and morals of the people.
But on the other hand, a recent
symposium of eminent physicians in
clined sharply to the opinion that if
man has to use alcohol at all he
had better take carefully selected gin,
brandy or whisky in very moderate
doses. Moreover, medical authori-
ties tell terrible tales of the moral
and physical deterioration conse-
quent on the generous use of their

The Census Of illiteraCy shows
that the United States is not fore

Switzerland is reported as with no

Sweden and Denmark have 10 per

10 per cent. of illiterates. But the
percentage for the United States
would be immensely reduced but for
the colored population of the south.
Outside our foreign population it is
difficult to find an adult in the north

None have ever attended a school in
