MORE LIGHT.
ON SHOPPING EXCURSIONS.


 Brother Beckley of the Canaan News who 70 fearlessly pitches into the cheap excursions, got up by the merchants of Bridgeport and Poughkeepsie, which draw trade from the local merchants of his town, would appear to be little more consistent if he did not advertise those excursions and the business of those merchants in his paper. .-Winsted Citizen. Jan g. ....
 Editor VanKeuren never would have written the above lines about advertls- ing excursions if he had carefully read our editorial in THE NEWS of Dec 10, in which we stated our position as follows:
 In reply to the question ..why do coun- try newspapers publish the advertise ments of city merchants, or why do they publish notices of excursions? :" Newspapers, like railroads, are common carriers. Newspapers are not expected to refuse the legitimate, unobjectionsble and good paying advertisements of hon. orable individuals, firms or corpora tions; but it does not follow that news papers editorially endorse every adver- tisement or notice which is published in their columns. Country newspapers seldom, if ever, run city advertisements at excursion rates; in other words. they do not discrlminate against country mer- chants as some railroads do by running excursions to cities.
 If any further explanation is needed we will say we were told that the regu- lar car fare from Great Harrington to Bridgeport is $2.45 or $4.9O for the round trip. Whenever an excursion IS run the fare is only S1.00 for the round trip. Unless country merchant has mileage book he must pay regular fare whenever he goes to Bridgeport or New York. Even if he has mileage book the trip costs him two cents per mile each way. but by excursions his custom ers are railroaded away from his place of business at the rate of ] cent per mile, and if they purchase Sl0.OO worth of goods in Bridgeport they get free transportation for the entire round trip. That's what we call railroad discrimina- ton against country merchants. Pub ishers of country newspapers do not charge their home merchants $1OO per year for . column advertisement and shen sell similar space for $20 to city merchants. Not until THE NEWS does business in that way; not until it gives city merchants an advantage over coun- try merchants will it be time for Editor Van Keuren, or any one else, to charge THx NEWS with being inconsistent.

is soon at hand. The plant Is nearly
completed. The citizens will soon have
a chance to come forward TO the sup
port of the enterprise. The company
after their great outlay of capital have
to rely on the generosity and liberality
of property holders to keep the plant
in running condition. The water rates
will he placed low and within reach of
every citizen. The cost to each citizen
is an estimate based on the value of the
water alone in available and abundant
quantities. The company has been at
heavy expense in erecting the plant
and the current expenses for maintain
ing it will be by no means light. Every
fair-minded and liberal citizen should
give his support to the company when
the question of using the water supply
comes up. No improvement made In
the city has added more to the value
and disturbances of property. The
citizens are greatly indebted to the
company and owe it u liberal and
hearty support.

Reports from the Palouse and Big
Bend countries that the crop prospects
are very bright. The heavy fall OF
snow during the winter insures another
famous crop. Last years crop is not
half marketed yet and the coming one
promises q third larger yield. The
farmers of this section say that the
ground is in better condition now than
1t any time for three previous seasons
and the average acreage Is about the
same. They expect big yield. More
moisture has fallen during the winter
than for several years past and it has
come in such manner US to waste nc
particle Of 1t. The soil Is thoroughly
moistened and the winter wheat on the
departure of the snow shows up In flint
condition.

Liquor Licenses.

The result of nasty legislation is seen
in the anomalous condition Of tie
liquor license laws. In February the
high licenses law, to take effect July
LIST, was passed. The first section is as
follows:
ut shall be unlawful for any person
by himself, by agent, or otherwise, to
sell spirituous, malt or fermented liq-
uors or wines to be drunk in or about
the premises where sold, without hay
ing first procured license and given a
bond, as hereinafter provided"
This law does not refer to the guam
tity to be sold at time ut all. On
March 14th the amended revenue bill
was passed, of which this is Il section:
"All persons selling vinous, fermented,
malt, mixed or distilled liquors in
quantities not less than one gallon
shall pay in advance license of one
hundred dollars semi-annually". Sec
ton 1913, being the nifty and fifteen
dollars license provision, is repealed,
to take effect ut once. The result is
that from this time up to July 1st nc
new license need be taken out. The
wholesale dealer who sells one gallon
and upwards must take out the hun
bred dollar semi-annual license ut once
But the dealer who sells quart OF
over, but less than a gallon, takes out
no special license, but sells under hi:
ordinary store license as now. This
will give the bottle men big pull or
the whiskey trade. The State levy fol
general purposes is eighty-five cents, t.
which is added seven and One-half cent!
university, and two cents wagon roat
tax, making total Of ninety-four ant
one-half cents on the hundred dollars

The board of trade are now busy agi-
tating the best scheme for advertising
the city abroad. Many good sug.
gestions have been made but the best
plan seems to be that Of preparing a
pamphlet Of some nature with maps
and printed matter setting forth the
advantages of the city and adjacent
country. This in the first place would
be the cheapest of the proposed plans.
It could be put up In pamphlet OF
folder, easily available to send by mail
70 anyone writing for information con.
corning the advantages ana produc-
tons OF this locality. Arrangements
should be made to have committee OF
correspondence, into whose hands all
inquiries concerning the country could
be placed. It would be difficult to get
up pamphlet to answer all nature oil
inquiries that come in weekly to var.
i0us parties In town. The business
men have no. time to make personal
answer to the points In question, which
II answered might end in bringing
some capital and enterprise to the city
A board of correspondence could easily
do this, much to the advantage of all
concerned. A neat design for folder to
place in depots and other public places
east could be found in form resem.
bling q railroad folder, with one side a
map of the city and tributary country
and the other side containing printed
matter descriptive of the country.

more valuable by at least twenty
per cent by the presence of water in

Next the memorial proceeds to show
that Clagett was elected in pursuance
of concurrent resolution duly passed
by both houses Of the legislature, and
that the proceedings were all strictly in
conformity with the provisions of the
United States Revised Statutes. Hence
the memorialist claims that he Is enti-
tied, both on the merits aud by prima
facie showing, to he seated for the six
year term, beginning March 4, 1891,
and he prays that Dubois be not seat
ed by holding a certificate prior in
date to memorialist's, since that would
force the memorialist into the position
of a contestant. His desire is that the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
hear the facts and report upon the case
rs soon as possible and let the Senate
finally pass upon it.
| Aside from the above, the memorial
and affidavits show that Idaho is di-
vided almost in the middle by noun
tain ranges; that the southern half has
long dominated the politics of the State
Tor Territory, and had all the Federal
patronage; that much bitterness had
resulted, and North Idaho had sought
to be annexed to Washington; that to
appease the bitterness aid harmonize
the two portions of the State both the
political parties in their platforms as
adopted last fall pledged Senator to
North Idaho; that the Republicans
carried the State on their pledge of a
Northern Senator, but that Delegate
Dubois and Shoup formed combina-
ton to elect themselves without regard
to the platform and the promises OF
Republican speakers and papers. 1t
recites the story of the combine by
which they took Mr.. Mcconnell into
their deliberations and elected him and
Shoup for existing vacancies and Du.
bois for the full term-all on December
18-and charges that the election OF
Mr.. Dubois was then forced in viola
ton of the Revised Statutes, because he
(Mr. Dubois) well knew that if he
waited a single day he could not hold
the combine together, composed, as II
was, of hostile elements, and that his
managers saw that their only hope was
to "railroad" the matter through anC
take chances on his being seated by the
Senate. Mr.. Clagett claims that hi
was repeatedly offered the chance o
compromise if he would accept shor
term, but that he refused to consider
any propositions by Mr.. Dubois because
those offered were based upon breache.
Of the party's faith, and charges tina
Mr.. Dubois was chosen, not only II
violation of every provision Of law, bu
that his alleged election was secured
directly by this violation, and tina
without such violation of law he coul(
not, and would not, have been elected
This charge goes directly to the free
dom and purity of Mr.. Dubois election

The expressions Of sympathy coming
from Italians all over the country place
that entire race in America in curious
predicament. It Is reasonable to as
sumo In the case of any nationality,
without exception, that it has good and
upright members. The members of the
Malta were blackmailers and assassins,
who spared neither friend nor foe
American nor italian. They were
driven from italy. They can only be
regarded with adherence by any right
minded person. When their country
men express vehement sympathy with
these vermin, and demand satisfaction
under threats Of vendetta, it places the
entire race in America in an unenvia-
BILE light. These hot-heads would make
It appear that there are no respectable
and law-abiding members of their race
In this country. The better element of
Italians should not rest content under
this stigma, but promptly rebuke the
implication made by these men.-Spo-

The Idaho Contest.

Hon. w. H. Clagett, who was elected
by the Idaho legislature to the United
States Senate for the same term for
which Hon. Fred T. Dubois had been
previously chosen, has published in
pamphlet form the memorial and affi-
davits which he presented to the Sem
ate last Friday, when his credentials
were filed. His attorneys are Shella-
barger & Wilson, and it is evident,
from the attention given to details in
the affidavits, that the "fourth Senator
from Idaho" is determined to leave
nothing undone that will help his
fight.
The memorial quotes that part of the
Idaho constitution which required the
legislature, within ten days after its Or
ganization, to '.elect, as provided by
law, two Senators of the United States"
Next 1t quotes the Idaho admission
act, which authorized the legislature to
select two Senators of the United
States as provided by the constitution
of said State" Under these provisions
the memorialist admits that the cleo
ton of Mcconnell and Shoup to fill ex-
listing vacancies was lawful. But it
then quotes the United States Revised
Statutes in reference to the election of
Senators in general, and claims that an
election for a Senator must be according
to its provisions, one of which Is that
the Second Tuesday after the organi-
zation of the legislature" shall arrive
before legal ballot can be taken fer a
Senator for a regular term. 1t then re-
fers to certified copies Of the journals Of
the senate and the house of the Idaho
legislature ION file in the senate), which
show that the Idaho house chose part
of its officers on Monday, December 8,
and the remainder on Tuesday, Deem
Der 8; that each house notified the
other, and also the governor of Idaho,
of its organization OH Tuesday, Decem-
Der 8. 1t holds, therefore, that the
"second Tuesday after organization"
was ACCcHluCi sd oitu eu"C VIC CiCCttou
of Dubois, on December Is, was prior
to the time when ballot could be law
fully taken for full term Senator. 1t
shows also that prior to Dubois cleo
ton neitner house Of the Idaho legisla-
ture had taken separate ballot" as
required by the United States Revised
Statutes, for Senator for the full term
and that the Legislature had not adopt
ed even the customary concurrent res
olution for proceeding to the election
of a Senator for regular term. 1t
claims that Mr.. Dubois and his mana
gers utterly ignored all these ''cOndi-
tons precedent" to election, and that
because his ''alleged election" took
place before the time specified and in
disregard of the manner pointed out it
is no election at all and that Mr.. Dubois
has not even prima facie right to q
seat in the Senate.
