action toward abolishing the liquor
traffic from the reservation. He
had been informed by the city
attorney that the council had the
necessary authority to take such
action.
Mr.. Harrison did not think such
course by the council would be
constitutional. If the council had
power to establish prohibition in
one quarter Of the city it could in
another. He was heartily in favor
of abolishing it there, if it could be
done. 1t seemed that vote of the
people would have to decide it.
The chair was of the opinion that
the city's special charter eliminated
that d fficulty.
The matter after some discussion
became involved IN parliamentary
diff guilty in which the chair and the
council held different views as 10
whether substitute motion should
be put first after it had been carried
but was taken up again on call of
ayes and nays, or an original motion
should be called.
The matter was finally settled by
it's reference to the city attorney
with instructions to draw up thu
necessary ordinance to abolish the
sale Of liquor in the reservation.

r. r. LAMBERT, a farmer of Minnesota,
has been ''a-thinking" and his conclusion
is that it is not SO much the question,
What is the price of wheat?" as ''What
will it buy?" Twenty years ago. he
says, bushel of wheat bought him eight
pounds of sugar when wheat was 81.
Now it is forty cents less than that, but
will buy him twelve pounds of sugar.
Twenty years ago it took six bushels to
buy LOO pounds of nails; now it requires
but four. a mower cost him then i20
bushels; to-day it costs him only seventy
five. So he reasons along a long line of
necessary supplies, that the wheat pur-
chasing power is the thing rather than
wheat price comparison of the present
with the past. He thinks old wheat
prices will never be restored, but is con-
WINGED that neither will the old prices
for goods he must buy with wheat. Mr..
Lambert should have carried his think
ing further-to wit. to the cost of produc-
ing his wheat and preparing it for mar
ket in the '70s as compared with the cost
of production and marketing now, since
it is fact that. in the West at least, it is
harvested and sacked at considerably
less cost than twenty years ago.

The Stockton Mail says the RECORD
UNION, after exposing and denouncing
the coupon business, sis in the coupon
line of business, and the shameful an
nouncement is in her columns" The
Stockton Mail lies; it lies from the very
lust of lying. In this case it has the evil
dence before it that it lies and brazenly
cites it in defense of its falsehood. The
RECORD UNION, in furtherance of its ex-
posure of the cheat of the coupon busi-
ness, is giving away at the cost price for
lots an illustrated book that other papers
are selling on the coupon plan at big
profit to the newspaper. 1t does this to
prove that the coupon is a swindle.
The Mail knows this to be the fact, but
habit masters it; besides it is in the cou-
pom business just now; it is peddling
secondhand music prints and making a
few shillings on the side.

Sacramento gets the Republican State Con.
vention. That was proper. Now let the
Democrats do the right thing and select the
Capital City, the only place for such gather
ings
Which is true; not because this is the
city of Sacramento, nor that the people OF
this locality have pardonable vanity in
desiring the convention. but because this
Is the States seat of government: because
a convention at the States Capital takes
on more of dignity and character; be-
cause convention holding to select nomi-
nees is an essential part of the beginning
of government itself, and therefore the
action in such essential ought to begin at
the Capital of the State. the official seat OF
the commonwealth.

THE Republican State Central Com
mttee has called too large State Con-
vention. 1t is not at all necessary to call
together S4s delegates to represent the
party. 1t makes an unwieldy and not a
more representative body. 1t divides re-
sponsibility too much and does not con-
serve calm deliberation. Besides there
are few halls in the State where so large a
body can be seated as convention should
be and leave any room for spectators.
Certainly S58 delegates cannot be packed
into the Assembly Chamber at the Cap
itol, spacious as it is. except a portion Of
them are placed in the galleries, and that
would be absurd The convention now
called is the largest ever ordered for this
State. There has been neither party nor
population growth to justify so great an
increase in the number of delegates as the
new order makes. Fortunately, there is
State building here ample for the COM

WOMAN AND CRUELTY:

At the Woman's Congress in San Fran
cisco last week Madame Modjeska made
a very sensible talk to her sex on the
relation of the theater to society. and,
with the adroitness of the accomplished
actress, she paid the women such compn-
ments for intelligence and good taste that
she left the hall amidst storm Of approy
ing applause.
But the woman who followed her, Miss
Adeline Knapp, presented to the con-
gress a subject of interest that ought to
engage the attention of women a great
deal more than it does. and it is crafty
ing to hear that the 800 women in the con-
gress unanimously indorsed her views
Her claim was that women have spe-
cial duty and privilege in the field that
calls for the cultivation of the humane
spirit: that cruelty in any form has di-
rect, close and all-importsnt relation to
character building, and it should there
fore be the aim Of sisters, wives and
mothers TO train young minds in way
to develop adherence Of cruelty to any
of the animal kingdom under the domi-
nance of mans will. Her idea was that
love. kindliness and sympathy are the
saViors and cement of humanity, and
that any and all practices that are antago-
nistic to love for mankind and mans
dumb servitors are calculated to harden
the sensibilities, develop the unfeeling
spirit, make cruel men and women and
breed criminals and law breakers.
She then took up the practical side of
the question, and warmed the ears of her
hearers for their contribution to the un-
necessary destruction of fne-plumaged
and song birds to satisfy the demands for
fantastic headgear for women. Again,
women are altogether too indifferent, she
declared, to the torturing of animals by
children, thoughtless at first, but which
grows into habit that affects all the after
life.
The essayist devoted attention also to
the treatment of food animals in trans
port and in market, to the use Of the side
saddle, the over-check and binders upon
horses, etc. The claim of this sensible
speaker was that woman is not less
sympathetic than man, but that she has
not brought herself to the thorough con-
sideration of her personal relation to this
subject. She certainly is correct in this
statement. Cruelty to our auimal servi-
tors would well nigh disappear if woman
would do her full duty in the premises.
AS it is, her promotion of certain senseless
fashions, her insistence upon certain tor
turing customs. her apparent indifference
to the growth of the purely animal spirit
in the child, all tend to make cruelty so
great vice that it is absolutely necessary
to organize societies to do battle with it.
AS result we have in this State to-day
the peculiar exhibition of the common
wealth by special law inviting and subsi-
dizing the organization Of citizens into
humane societies to enforce the laws for
bidding cruel practices toward animals.

THE New York Assembly passed three
anti -Tammany bills in one day last week.
Tammany as a power is on the wane
clearly. When it is possible for one
house to pass three bills that strike at its
vitals and for four others to become laws
which cripple its political activity, there
is reason to believe that it has lost some
thing of its ability to dictate legislation

The way General" Kelly rules his
horde is by promising them smoking

dispenser of the charities of others, and
that is the secret of his power. AS far as
the General being shrewd andsbrainy

His night march from Van Meter shows
his ignorance OF both men and conditions.
His men know that in almost every
emergency where courage has been re-
quired he has failed, and as for his
speeches-they are just such exhortations
as any Well-trained Salvation Army Cap
tain might make on a moments notice.
And for all this he rides in carriage,
with two fool women from Council
Bluffs. or on ''a coal black charger" and
makes more money in a week than he
could make working at his trade in a
month, for from lectures and collec-
tions and gifts, there is considerable
money falls into his purse. And over all
this he is a vain. conceited man.-1owa
