". C. 4. u. COLUMN.
PROHIBITION IN NORTH Dakota.
Writer in the Minneapolis Tribune has

Writer in the Minneapolis Tribune has,
a column and u half on how prohibl-
ton prohibits Ill North Dakota. The
writer is a a who was not a prohibi-5
tionlst but he is compelled by the state
affairs in North Dakota to admit that
prohibition does prohibit. He says that
the social side OF 1T is a success. Not
seeing open saloons a man cannot go in
with the crowd. He can find liquor by
hunting it up.
"But what regular or irregular drinker
has not learned that there is no entice-
ment to drink in solitude. 1t must be
especially desolate, irksome and meian-
choly for the habitual boozer to wander,
INTO Il darksome corner, out OF the way
OF the police, hurridly empty his glass
and then sneak off feeling as guilty rs
though some crime had been committed.
No pleasant song, no telling the latest
story, no listening to the eloquence Of
the super-stimulated good fellow who
loves all mankind with an alcoholic alice
that is u~nrestrained. Just the bare, ma
ked, unattractive drink OF deliberately
villainous liquor nothing else"
The moral side OF it can be seen in
North Dakota in the fact that the
church, the school and the library have
Il much better opportunity. The writer
says, Numerous farmers discussed the
question with me, and were frank and
o%utspoken in their approval Of the law,
because 1T had accomplished the result
Of giving them sober and reliabl men to
do their work. Said j. W. Fisher, OF
Casselton, to ME: 1.-Two years ago we
had licensed saloons in this place. 1t
was all most impossible to get enough
sober men to do u work, while at
times human life was scarcely sale upon
the streets. When the men were paid off
pandemonium reigned and riots were at
times imminent"
| talked with scores of farmers. with
every shade OF political belief, and did
not find Ono who favored returning to
the system OF license. 1t is purely a mat
ter OF profit and loss with them. They
will stand by constitutional prohibition
because experiment has demonstrated
that that system will give IL larger
amount Of labor that can DE relied upon
than under the system Of high license.
The business side is brought out and
mention is made OF one large retail mcr-
chant in Grand Forks who said that his
trade had been more extensive and his
collections altogether better since, than
before prohibition went into effect, and
that he a an enthusiastic convert
from the doctrine ofhigh license. Under
no circumstances would he vote to re-
peal the law. Il have customers-not
drunkards, but drinking mcn-who were
always hard up and behind with Their
payments under the old system. Now
they do not drink and pay promptly
l figure it that they used to pay my
money to the saloon Keepers"
These words should convince readers
that North Dakota is doing well in pro-
hiblting the open sale OF liquor.

Blanchard Anxious for the New Hamp-
shire Investigation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. A-Speaker Reed
has not determined as yet what the com.
mittee on rules shall do with the Blanchard
resolution providing for an investigation
by the judiciary committee Of the political
affairs of New Hampshire. with view to
ascertaining whether a republican form Of
government exists there 1t is believed,
however, that he will eventually let the
resolution be reported. Speaking of Sena-
tor Chambers telegram to Gov. Moore of
New Hampshire on Representative Blauch-
ards resolution Mr. Blanchard
says: THE vigorous way in which the
senator cries out Indicates that he has been
hit hard by the resolution. 1t is to be
hoped that the committee on rules will
speedily report tue resolution back to the
House, and the House will adopt it, SO that
we can have the investigation which Mr..
Chandler processes so loudly to court 1t
would be instructive, at least, to students of
practical politics to learn the expert methods
by whica the thing was so neatly and
quietly done in New Hampshire, but then
you know, the senator is known throughout
the United States as the most expert hand
at that kind OF business In the country.
NOT MATTER FOR TEMPER
at is to be regretted that he displayed so
much temper In his dispatch. 1t is not a
matter for an ebullition Of anger. Judging
by the returns of the late election it is quite
likely that a majority of the people of New
Haven are in sympathy with the purpose Of
my resolution. Those Of them who oppose
it, ard whose state pride is hurt by it, as
stated by the senator, feel just as we did in
LOUISIANA when our state affairs were in
vestigated by the republicans three different
times IN the past, with the entire approba-
ton, If not the active assistance, of the
senator. His tirade against the democrats
of Louisiana, we think, is about on par
with his conduct in Florida in 1877 in help
ing to manipulate matters there so as to
fitch the electoral vote of the state from
rilden aud give it to Hayes

a STORY OF WATERLOO.
A French General Stolen By a Daring
IounR English Ch1cer.
- Eli

From an English Exchange.
The only prisoner made by the English
reserve at Waterloo was a French general,
whose capture was due TO the cool head and
stout heart Of a young brigade major, anx>
ious for an adventure. During the battle
several regiments of cavalry and infantry
were kept in reserve, under q heavy fire
from the French guns. Great was the
havoc, and neither men nor horses
relished the passive attitude to
which they were condemned. While a
group Of young officers, in front Of
the left wing Of the reserve, we're discussing
the situation, their attention was attracted
TO French general and his staff, all on
horseback, who were looking through
their glasses at the Eng lishmen. One Of
the group was Capt. Halkett, a young brig
ade major, mounted on a thoroughbred.
Suddenly he exclaimed: ''Tn lay any one

general over here dead OF alive. Who'll
take my betF' Done, done, doneln shouted

The caplain examined the saddle girths
and his pistols. Then shouting good n"

forced the Frenchmen to turn swiftly and
seek shelter under their own guns Amid
the maddest cheering Halkett stopped in
front Of the British lines, with the general
half dead, but securely clasped in his strong
arms. He jumped from his horse, apollo
glzed to his prisoner for the unceremonious
way in which he had been handled, and, in
reply to the congratulations of his COM
rades, said, simply, Praise my horse, not
me- The captured general was treated
with the utmost courtesy and consideration.

On sailing up the Gauges my boat hap
pened to be moored by the side Of large
budgerow "a Bengal pleasure boat, in which
a somewhat choleric gentleman was, as
conceived, at rest. All his boatmen and
servants to the number, ! dare say, of
twenty-five or thirty, were sleeping rolled
in their white shawls, upon the roof of the
apartment in which he was lying which
rose like poop above the deck. 1t was q

contemplations were destroyed by an un-

nate men leaping and tumbling in the river
from the boat Of my passionate neighbor,
who was standing like a mailman on the
deck, brandishing stick over their heads.
Never shall forget the scene. The moon
lit up his bald head, for he had thrown his
nightcap at one OF the people in rage at
not being able to reach him with his stick.
The boatmen, who are always expert
swimmers and did not seem to lose taeir
presence of mind by the sudden transition,
very soon reached the shore aud gazed in
astonishment, as did myself, at the COM

or three ii nes over the deserted field; then
turning toward the routed enemy, who
seemed ready to rally on the banks, shook
his stick at them and cried out In Hin
dustence:

This ludicrous explanation of the whole
mystery affected the crew as it did myself,

Well, frogs climb in this TO drink from the

out, for when they try to couple of sharp
horns in the lid overhead stab them in the
