"WETs" ............. 800. ............ 1886
Majority for "Drys". -. 1870
The question which has been agitat-
ing the people of this city for the past
few months has at last been settled.
By a majority of 1870 out of q total vote
of $500 the city decides against the
licensing the sale OF Intoxicating
liquors. The work Of the leaders who
have so valiantly struggled to bring
about this result could not have been
better rewarded than it was at yester-
days election.
The closeness of the vote showed
that the opposition was struggling with
a desperate valor and the odds in favor
Of either side were unappreciable.
Prominent men were arraigned against
each other and only gave in at the last
moment. Not only were personal inter
ests at stake, but the future of the city
was hanging in the balance.
To the clergy Of the city, VINO have
been 80 active in the campaign from it's
start, advocating against the lice nsiDg
from the pulpit and stage. is due much
of tho credit for this result of the cleo.
ton. They above all have labored early
and late to bring this issue out in the
way it has been declded.
The polls closed at shutdown or at
about $50 o'clock, but the results could
not be known until about two hours
later. The delay was caused in the
Third ward, where an unusually large
vote was polled and the result was very
close. Wards TWO and four were re-
ported first and indicated good MAORI
ties for the 'wets."
Itlooked for while as if the "wets"had
won but the result from the First ward
soon followed piling up 1856 majority
for the other side. Rumors which were
afterward substAntiated by actual count
showed that the Fifth ward had given
q round hundred majority for the
''drys." Then the local optionists
knew the battle was won and it only
remained for the reports from the Third
ward to reduce somewhat the majority
which 1t was then seen would result in
their favor. 1t came at last and the
results we're made known on the street
by THE TINES extra a few moments
after the counting was over.
The following is the vote in the city
by wards:

Houses For the Poor.

The prize essay Of the American Econ
omic association for 1892 was by Marcus
Reynolds and was upon ''The Housing
Of the Poor in American Cities" It has
now been published by the association
in pamphlet of 1872 pages.
The author discusses the unhealthful
dwellings Of the past and present, par
ticularly the tenement houses Of New
York, and outlines the reforms that have
already been accomplished or under
taken. He analyses the income and ex-
penditure of the working classes, points
out the moral and physical dangers of
overcrowding, suggests what can and
what cannot be done by legislation. and
then in series of chapters discusses re.
forms that have been accomplished.
Mr.. Reynolds suggestion is that
cheap, independent houses in the suburbs
will attract those workers who can af-
ford to live some distance from their
places of work. Of course the cost of
travel figures largely in this matter. He
points out also that houses suitable for
this class of people are increasing with
in the limits of New York and Brooklyn.
For the poorer people he would have
model tenements with general kitchen.
To the cook in charge each family would
send list of things desired, and these
would be furnished ready for the table.
For the homeless poor he would have
model lodging houses.

1t woman has to work, she ought to
work; If it is not necessary for her to do
so, she should not enter into competition
with men unless she insists upon being
paid as worker and not as a woman,

and do it as well and in the same time.

of wheat. We will not have in
South Dakota more than half an
average yield, the government esti-
mate for July 1st, being 66 per cent,
a falling off of 20 points during June.
The final result will show an
other falling off of 20 points more.
For the United States, as reported

good of the farmers we would re-
spectfully ask the boom papers to
quit your Misrepresentation. When
the truth is known wheat will begin
to climb up. If our sub-treasury plan
were in operation we would be smil-
ling at the prospect of dollar and a
quarter wheat. We would have to
import wheat in 1898, if labor were
fully employed. I know that it is
useless to advise the majority of
farmers to hold their wheat. Our
creditors will not permit us to, but
I would urge them everywhere,
to not rush wheat to market in the
present panicky condition of trade.
Let it stand in the stack just as
long as you can, then sell as little as
possible to provide for pressing ne
cessities. This will at least help
those who are forced to sell in the
near future. If the conditions fore
Swallowed are realized we may con-
fidently expect an advance on this
crop of 25 cents per bushel over pres
ent prices. In this 1 do not want to
be understood as giving any advice
whatever l simply believe it to be
my duty, at this time, to state for
the consideration of the members
the situation as I see it. If the con-
ditions predicted prove correct, viz,
the expected inflow of gold and in
crease of national bank currency we
will have higher prices.

Ye lovers of the real Christ, the

and go down on your knees and pray
for the death of the old dogmas and
the birth of that living, everyday
Christ that the poet Tennyson prayed
for in Ring out, Wild Bells":
ring out the old, ring in the new:
Ring out the false ring in the true.
Ring out the want, the care. the sin,
The faithless GOODNESS Of the times.
Ring out false pride of place and

Ring out the narrowing lust of gold.
Ring in the valiant man and free:
Ring in the Christ that is to be-"
