On the top floor of one of the TALES

The Democratic Party and the Su
preme Court

The Democratic State Convention of
Ohio last month adopted the following
resolution
We are opposed to the enactment of all
laws which unnecessarily interfere with
the habits and customs of any of our PEG
Pile which are now offensive to the moral
sentiments of the civilized world, and We
believe that the personal rights of the
individual should be curtaied only when
it is essential to the maintenance Of the
peace, good order, and welfare of the
community.
This is a good prohibition resolution.
The Supreme Court of the lnited States
confirms the position. 1t says the per-
sonal right of the individual in the sale
of liquors may be not only "eurtsiled.'
but absolutely prohibited when the State
sees that 1t is Essential to the main
teIauce of the peace good order, and
welfare of the community The SUI
preme court says. Common experience
has shown that the genera! and unre-
stricted use of Intoxicating liquors tends
to produce idleness. disorder, disease,
pauperism, and crime

The people here are as a rule iutelli-
gent and progressive and welcome
strangers with open arms. The climate
as | have found it thus far. is what
shall call the acme OF perfection. Flee
trcsl storms are entirely unknown. The
air is pure and bracing, while The breezes
from the Sound are celebrating. The
same clothes can be worn here through
out the entire year. We get grand view
OF Mt. Tacoma's snow clad peek towering
far above the clouds. Lovers of the
beautiful in nature can never tire of gsZ-
ing upon such a scene of majestic grand
eur. must not forget to mention the
vast mineral resources of this country
now in process of development.
In Ohanagan County gold and silver
mining is carried on quite extensively,
and with the advent of railroads that sec
ton will soon become very important
centre. An inexhaustable supply of coal
lies within 20 miles of this city. With
the exception of farming all kinds of
business are very dull, and | cannot con
scientiously advise any one to come here
now with view of engaging in any mer-
camille pursuits. How long this stagna.
ton will continue, is difficult to say
This city however is no exception In that
respect, for from all information | can
gather learn /, is so everywhere. For
the same reasons would not recommend
mechanics clerks or laborers to come
here at present. For house girls and all
kinds of female help there is great de
mand. Salaries at from $500 to $50 90
per month are easily obtained for the
various occupations. Much money com, =

create a great sensation. Our English

For instance, when a member comes
into parliament he carries his hat In his
hand, but ON sitting down he puts il
upon his head, If n member wishes TO
speak he takes OF his hat and holds IL
in his hand II he wants to make
long speech he puts his hat ON the
