DAKSOk'S BRIGHT FUTURE.

Every stranger who visits our -four

with its natural advantages, health, To-
cation and bright prospects. The
past of Dawson has been one of al
most continued effort. Various
schemes have been mapped out, the
naturalization of which no doubt,
would have given a new impetus to
the progress of the city, but the cit

that action on their part was unneces>
sary, that Dawson, with all her natural
advantages, must be sought out, and
located in by people seeking homes
and a place for business. 1t is almost

of lawfully" declared to be an
"Americanism" which was as OBJ
iectionable to the Laureate as the
slang use of the adjective ssbloody."
1t happens that the slang use of
both these words is of cockney
derivation, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. Nevertheless it is satisfac-
tory to learn that the American
citizen who had adopted either
specimen of English slovenliness,
was properly crushed by the Lau-
reate. We can forgive the latter
his inaccuracy with regard to the
origin of the terms, in view of the
pertinence of his reproof.

THE Louisiana lottery is still
alive and active, and the latest
newsiis to the effect that the lot
terry men are somewhat ahead in
that state. They have succeeded
in capturing the Democratic CEN
trail committee, which is composed
of ninety members. There is an
unusually bitter fight for the con.
troll of the committee, but the lot
terry men had small majority on
a test vote, and are greatly re-
joiced thereat. The governor of
the state is highly indignant over
the conduct of some half a dozen
friends holding Office under him,
who deserted the anti-lottery Sec
ton at the last minute and went
over to the other side. 1t is al
ways the most effective manner to
educate public sentiment in order
to make successful any public ref
ormation, and the people of the
United States must do this if they
would rid the country of gambling
and gambling games.

JUDGE WHITE, of the South Da-

the "wild cat" days when business
men did not dare to so to bed with
a dollar bill in the house because
they were afraid it would depreci-
ate from 10 to so per cent. in the
night. He has just decided that it
is unconstitutional for the legisla-
ture to undertake to legislate for
the regulation of banking because
it is private business. Logically
he will be compelled, if the ques-
ton as to the constitutionallty of
laws against lotteries ever comes
before him, to hold that the legis-
lature is powerless in respect to
those institutions also. A lottery
is as much a private business as a
banking office; and in some Sec
tions of the country the one is just
about as risky as the other.

IL it is, as is sometimes claimed,
intuition rather than common
sense that guides woman to her
conclusions, intuition has the call.
Woman has at all events, shown
most conclusively during the past
week her superiority to man in
the matter of holding conventions;
and if her guide was intuition it is
a better guide than logic. When
men hold conventions they ap-
point them for the hottest months
of the year, when travel is most
uncomfortable, and the difficulties
of accommodating ones self to
strange surroundings in the matter
of bed and board are worse than at
any other season of the year.
Woman, on the other hand, selects
for her conventions September or
October, when travel is a delight
and when the most critical person
can, without much discomfort, ad-
just herself to novel surroundings.
This is why the meeting of the
American Society for the Ad-
vancement of Women, at Grand
Rapids, and of the Young Women's
Christian Association, in Chicago,
have been so successful.

FANATIc1sM is the outgrowth of
ignorance, manifesting itself where
truth has but little connection
with thought, The religious fa-
natics of the day do not influence
the development of great moral
truths or religious activity. On
the contrary, they generally put a
check to the force of moral pre-
cept and cause ridicule to encroach
upon truth. Ridicule, Landon
has truly observed, is harmful to
truth, and these fanatics do more
to provoke ridicule than any other
class of public proclaimers. Thus
they harm truth by raising public
opinion to a pitch of ridicule, and
moral precept is left to languisll
with danger and doubt. In a re-
cent instance, for illustration, one
of these fanatics dared to soil and
minify- the moral magnitude and
majesty of scriptural precept, by
advocating, through its instrumen
tality, as he claimed, certain doc.
trinal ideas of his own limited
conception. concerning the com
ing of the last judgment. These
fanatics excite very little atten'
ton nowadays. The common
