The moral wave in Portland is assum.
ing formidable proportions. 1t has sue
ceeded in closing the public gambling
houses and now the crusade has been di-
rected against sunday saloons. The
trouble with the latter is that the city is
operating under special charter, and the
council, as in many other cases, failing
to provide the necessary ordinance, the
legislature may have to be appealed to.
The better class OF citizens in Aberdeen
demand Sunday closing ordinance.
Will they get it Of the new council ?
That depends upon whom they elect.
They never have got it yet.

Women can, ii they will make the eff

coming city election in Aberdeen.

We print elsewhere an extract from a
letter on the subject OF Woman Suffrage
in Colorado, written by James :. Clark
son, and published in the Iowa state
Register. Mr.. Clarkson went to Denver
on election day especially TO observe the
workings OF the law, and although he is
naturally elated over the Republican VIC
tory in that state, for which he gives the
women credit, he is too broad man and
too much Of stat, sman to be influenced
in his judgment by that fact. Mr.. Clark
son is long-headed man and shrewd
politician, and il he does not try to win
prestige for his party at the next national
convention by having it accept What is
surely inevitable, and come out squarely
for woman suffrage, We will miss our

The young Car Nicolas, who by his
fathers death becomes the absolute ruler
OF l26, 100000 human souls, is only TWEEN
tysix years Of age. He is described as
sullen, pessimistic, self.asserting, scarce
ly up to the average intelligence and with
little education to make a statesman out
OF a despot. Unlike Emperor William
OF Germany, who is subject to at least
some discipline in the imperial legisla.
ture, Nicolas II is his own legislature,
and he need ask no human being what
he shall do with the army, the navy, the
industries, the church, the lands, the
schools or the finances OF an empire OF
more than 100000 square miles, or one
seventh Of the land surface OF the globe.
There is council OF state; but he can dis.
miss every member and leave the vacan-
cies untitled. There are departments for
administration, but he can annul their
divisions, discharge their incumbents
AMI throw the country into chaos. There
is a synod to govern the church; but he
governs the synod. He shows little
promise OF being worthy Of the enormous
responsibility, but we hope he may sur.
prise the world as did William Of Ger
many, and show himself a real monarch.
Quite contrast between
Czarology and the way things are done in
this country. Pity some OF the calamity

ANARCHY IN ALABAMA
Governor" KOlb Publishes a
Message.
An Exceedingly Revolutionary
Document.
He Advises the People to Refuse to
Pay Taxes.
A Change OF Administration in South
Carolina-Inauguratio Of
Governor Tillman's
Successor.

By the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. A. r. F.
Koib, vino claims TO be governor OF
Alabama, today completed a message to
the legislature which he signs as COVER
nor and which will be transmitted to
that body tomorrow. The message is
slso addressed to the people OF Alabama
and is long. and in many respects,
revolutionary document, as it recon-
mends that his followers do not pay
their taxes for a while. He further says !:
Il further advise those collectors who
value the cause l represent and which
will assuredly prevail. to delay all pay
ments Of state taxes into the state
treasury, until an i'm partial hearing has
been had Of our complaint under fair
and honest contest law"
When it is remembered that the tax
collectors In 39 out OF 66 counties in the
state are Kolbites. it will be seen that if
they take his advice the Kolb govern
ment will find strong support and Ala
bama will be threatened with anarchy.
In his message Kolb says:
THE revolutionary conditions of our
state government must become the sub
ject of your continued and most anxious
contemplation. The plans Of the
usurpers, so alarming to you, are abat-
ing in nothing to reduce you to an abb
jact and final submission to their un-
bridled will and passions. You have eeen
your just demands for the full execution
Of the system for the election. of
governor and other state officers secured
to you bv sacred constitutional guaran-
tees. deliberately set aside by the legis-
lature, itself only creature Of the con-
stitution. / declare to you without fear
Of contradiction, that If the present
party in control Of your government
be not arrested in its mad career. no
elections can be held in Alsbama under
the law and constitution"
He then reviews the provisions Of the
constitution and says:
S'Because the legislature Of 1928
did expressly revoke the sections OF the
civil code. however unprotected, which
seemed to allow q contest of the election
of the governor and other state officers.
by refusing on demand to restore them
or to substitute others of reasonable
and practical nature. you are perfectly
justified in declaring there can be no
election OF governor or other state
officers under the constitution of Ala
bams, binding on you. which is tainted
with fraud at the ballot box"
He then urged the legislature to en-.
oct contest laws, and advises his friends
to organize clubs to assist in the general
object of his appeal. Tho message con-
cludes: -
"If Colonel Oates and his faction fear
not the truth, il they court equity and
are ready to abide by Justice. they will
hesitate at nothing to remove the color
OF dishonor from his title to the Office he
has seized by arma."

Governor Hogg issued requisitions for

He asserts that if either the governor OF

they would be convicted if he could get

By the Associated Press
WAsHINeToN, Dec. A dispatch from
official Japanese SOURCES, giving an &C
count of Commissioner Detring's peace
mission, was received here today by q
gentleman in the diplomatic service.
1t is as follows:
Mr.. Detring, commissioner in the
Chinese custom service at Tien Tsin,
arrived at Kobe on the Goth of Novem-
ber and expressed wish to personally
deliver to Count Ito letter from Ii
Hung Chang. Under the circumstances
the proceeding was considered anoma-
lous and contrary to usage. Count Ito
refused to meet Mr.. Detring. At the
same time Mr.. Detring received tele-
graph orders from Prince Kung, presi-
dent of the Tsi Lung Yamen, calling
ing him to China. Accordingly he left
Kobe on the Goth OF Novem Der; but be-.
fore going ne sent the viceroy's letter to
Count Ito by post. The object of the
letter was to ascertain the conditions
upon which peace might be restored.
It was also stated that Ii Hung
Chang had obtained the sanction of the
emperor of China to the mission of Mr..
Detring, which had for its objsct the
purpose OF confdentially ascertsining the
views of the Japanese government, but
Mr.. behring's sudden return to China
under orders of the president of the Tsi
Lung Yamen, appears to throw some
doubt upon the accuracy of this state
mont.

"GENTLEMEN OF, THE GENERAL As

people in three separate elections, I am

Of the proudest people on the globe.
Thirty years ago the election of a man
cf my age to the highest gift in the
honor OF the people would have been
called unconstitutional. A young man
in South Carolina would not have dared
aspire to this honor for fear of gain
ing the odium of the class who,
by reason of age or inheritance, con-
sidered the office as their particular
property without regard to the popular
will. There are some who still regard
the political contest Of 1892, which gave
to us an aristocracy of brains instead OF
lands and money. as an halluciuation.
This gentle slum ber will result in good
and the RipVan Winkles OF the state will
awake to find themselves models OF an

modern progress and development who
have nothing but reverence for them.
1t is matter of congratulation to

Favor of It-Houso and Senate
Proceedings-Washin
ton Notes.

by the Associated Press.
WARRINGTON, Dec. 4.-The Democrats
Of the senate spent about three hours in
caucus today and then adjourned with.
ont action, to meet again Thursday
next. The entire time was devoted to q
discussion of the situation and to the
wisest course of action for the Demo-
cratic party during the present session.
The entire discussion was based on
series of resolutions presented by Sem
ator Daniel OF Virginia declaring for q
cloture, committing the party to an
abandonment of all efforts to amend the
tariff law and to an effort to reform the
currency in accordance with the sugees-
ton in the presidents message.
The resolution opened q wide range OF
debate in which many senators partici-
pated.
Senator Voorhees, op ened the talk with
a suggestion to the effect that the wiseat
course lay in the abandonment OF an
effort to pass the free raw material bills
(so-called) because OF the evident deter.
mination Of the Republicans to prevent
any action.
Senator Vest showed an inclination
toward cloture, contsnding il the Dem-
oorats did not adopt it. the Republicans
would when they should come into
power.
Senator Morgan presented plea for .
liberal allowance of time for the consid.
GRAFTON of the Nicaragua canal bill.
While no action on any question was
taken by the caucus. the prevailing
sentiment at the close of the caucus
seemed to be that its ultimate decision
would be adverse to the entire series
of propositions presented by Senator
Daniel. The sentiment favorable to
cloture seemed quite evenly divided.
There was also q strong sentiment iavor-
able to the passage of the sugar bill. az
reported by the finance committee,
striking out all differentials on sugar
and leaving a straight revenue duty OF
40 per cent ad vslorem. but it was
pointed out that should an attempt be
made in this direction it would open up
the entire tariff question.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The session OF
of the house today was exceedingly dull

A bill providing for the dedication OF
the ChickamauQa and Chattanooga park
in September, 1895. and one for the
establishment OF national military

the people upon the calling of the con.
