Whisky Untaxed and People Temperate.
Chicago Globe: I'VE tax everything but
whisky in my town, and there isn't a
drunkard in the place." said John Gsnse, a
guest at the fremont house.
For goodness sake, tell me where you're
FROM" SAID Clerk O'Brien.
YES SIR went on Mr.. Ganse, Where isn't
a drop of liquor that is taxed in Caithness,
Isle of Groat, off Scotland, and stranger
still, there amt u saloon in the place. We
make our own whiskey there, and it's SO
cheap by reason of there being no taxes Or
restrictions on it that a saloon couldn't
sell enough in a day to make it pay. Whis-
KEY is fetailed in the stores at 25 cents a
gallon, and no less a quantity is sold, and
the people come to town often and have
their jugs filled, and take them home and
have a drink whenever they please. The
whiskey is pure as it can be made, and I
never saw any one but a non-resident drunk
there. The people look upon whiskey about
the same as Americans do cider, and never
abuse it's use. This condition of things has
existed for over one hundred years, and is
the result of some sort of an agreement
made with the islanders by the English
government"

Struck With Paralysis.

Daniel Mcdonald, of Elliston, is in a
room at the international hotel, suffering
from a stroke of paralysis. He cannot speak
or make a movement. Mr.. Mcdonald came
from Elliston Tuesday. He registered in
the evening. and went to bed about eight
O'Clock in a room of the annex to the no

to the room and found Nc
Donald living i'll the bed.
The only evidences of life about him were
his breathing aud wild rolling of the eyes.

AS WILL be seen by an article from
the Seattle Post Intelligencer, which
appears in another column, the people
in the wide awake metropolis on Puget
Sound are going to make a tremendous
effort to take the National Educational
Association convention away from
Helena. We do not believe they will
succeed, but the Seattle men are hus-
tiers, as the Helena committee at Tor
onto. found out, and it will not do for
our people to go to sleep. The Seattle
committee at Toronto offered to raise
$4,000 for the entertainment of the
visitors If they would go to their city,
and they propose to n this offer
now. A Seattle delegation will proba-
bly, meet the committee at Helena pre-
pared to increase this amount. Our
people have work cut ont for them.

The Limited TAI

The following is clipped from the New
York journal: THE Limited Mail scored a
hit. The most fastidious lovers OF sensa-
tional isld realistic drama nave in this
drama all they can desire. The mechan-
lc u and scenic effects are striking pictures
of the real, and the departure OF the lin
tied mail, the escape and the wreck produce
grand effects. AS for tie play, it nbounds
in fun, and there is a tinpe of that homely
pathos running through it that is ALWAYS
welcome INC creative of interest. The
wonderful mechanical effects of The Linn
tied Mair' mako it one of, if not the
strongest attraction of its kind on the
rOnl.

In the current number of the North
American Review, Francis b. Thurbor
gives some interesting facts regarding
the progress of industrial and financial
cooperation in this country that are not
generally known. Tiffany d. Company,
the great New York jewelers., under their
form as a stock company, in which many
Of the employees of the house are men,
bers, have had the greatest prosperity
this house has ever known. Last year
the great wholesale dry goods house of
FL. B. Clafin & Company became a cor
poration, and within a few months the
big grocery firm, of which Mr.. Thurber
himself is the head, followed suit. In
all of these establishments the employees
have become large holders of stock and
in one case, that of the Trow Directory
printing company, the employees have
one of their number on the board Of
directors.

ACCORDING to the ST. Paul Pionee,
Press five members OF President Harri,
sons cabinet, who were in Office at the
beginning of tho year will be out by the
time the year closes. Window is dead,
Noble and Miller are said to be slated
for places on the circuit bench, Wana-
maker is to retire to attend 70 his bus
mess affairs, and Blaine, BY his physi-
clans advice, will spend tho winter in
southern ATTITUDES. All this is inter
esting if true, and it may be true. No
strong attraction exists between Mr..
Harrison and any of his advisers.

EASTERN republican organs announce
that Senators Jones and Stewart of Ne

OuR Congregational friends, who have
been struggling, thus far unsuccessfully
with a college location problem, will be
interested in a symposium on the ques-
| ton "Where should a college be To-
Gated" in the July number of the Chau-
tauquan. Opinions Of educators are
about evenly divided. President An
CELL of the University of Michigan, Pro-
lessor Seeley of Amherst, and DR.. Rog-
ers of the Northwestern University, be-
lieve in the small towns. Professor
Boyeson Of Columbia. DR.. Harper Of the
University Of Chicago, and DIR. Adams,
of Johns Hopkins. believe in city, sur
roundings for an educational institu-
tion. The arguments are excellent on
both sides and the preponderence is SO
slight that the questied would be a diff
ficult one fo- a jury to determine. DR..
Rogers insists that though very large
resources have been expended on col
leges in New York, Philadelphia and
Chicago they have been surpassed in
numbers and influence by colleges of
smaller means in country towns. 10
this point DR.. Harper retorts that "The
greatest and most successful university,
whether in the ancient or modern world,
has been in or near great cities. Ath-
ems, Alexandria, Paris, Bologna, Prague,
Berlin, Munich and Leipsic illustrate
this fact. A great university cannot be
sustained in a sheep pasture or in an
academic village. A great city is the
proper base of support for a republic OF
science, literature and art" 1t IS prob
able that both sides to the controversy
are right. The small colleges should be
IN the country where the cost Of living
is small and the students can be- So
cluded from the world, but the great
universities should be in the cities easy
of access to libraries, art galleries, mu-
and historical collections.

WHAT a difference there is between
the language of political diplomacy and
the language of cold facts. 1t is well
known that Harrison and Platt froze
Collector Erhardt out of the New York
custom house because he was too indie
pendent to submit to dictation and in
reference from republican politicians
yet the president in accepting the col
l%ector's resignation said, that he hello
him Gin the highest esteem and conf
dence and had no other thought than
that you would continue to discharge
tho duties Of your Office until the expi-
ration OF it's term" The New York Tr,-
bune, reflecting the sentiment of the
party bosses in New York, blurted out
the true opinion of Platt and company
in characterizing the collector as IAN
odd combination Of mugwump, pharisee
and Tammany boss

WALL street is hard to please. 1t is
now growing because Of the great crop
prospect of the country. Bradstreet's
financial article says that the probable
ity Of grain exports. in the
view Of the brokers of the street, is off
set by the prospective strain to which
the money market may be subjected in
handling the crops. In the London
market they take a different view of
things. The Financial Times foresees
great purchases of American cereals by
Europe and says at is not often that
the western farmer gets such a chance
OF putting dollars in his pocket as is
afforded him just now The European
demand for grain promises to be more
thar usually large, owing to the poor
crops in France and other countries"
We are inclined to accept the London
view of the situation as the true one.
More money in the west and less of it
in Wall street would be n wholesome
condition Of things, in spite of the gloom
into which such Il situation would
plunge the New York Stock exchange.

Twice each week the boys meet and hunt

tramps are thus given a chance for their

Mr.. Harrison as tho very weakest can :
didate the republicans could nominate
next year, not even excepting Alger.
Our remarks about tho unvisdom OF re-
nominating a president applied to both
parties and to all occasions, and
did not refer to Mr.. Harrison's renomi-
nation alone. The average president
spends his first term in scheming for a
second. There have been mighty few
exceptions to this rule and MI. Harrison
is not one Of them. We believe the
country would be a distinct gamer were
there an unwritten law that no presi-
dent should hold two consecutive terms.
Nor we're our remarks covertly aimed at
Mr.. Cleveland. He is out of office
and has exactly the same chance before
the country as any other private citizen.
There could be no objection to his NOM
nation in 1892 simply for the reason
that he once held tho office, although in
1888 there were many democrats who
douted the expediency of renominating
tho incumbent of the office. But the
journal was never more mistaken in it's
life if it supposes for a moment that the
democrats regard Benjamin Harrison as
q hard man to beat. Tho nomination that
would give them the most serious con-
Germ would be that of James G. Blaine.
