Interesting facts CLEANED from MISS
Willards address delivered at
our National Convention in
Baltimore Oct. 18.
'The Canadian Parliament this
year declared by an overwhelming
majority in favor of prohibition"
"What the world waits for is not
the new woman alone, but the new
man." zone swallow does not make
a summer and one parent by the
hearthstone does not make a home.
We need to stop singing the old ditty
"What is home without mother9"
and to put in its place: "The father
alone can ma ke the house home" If
he spends his leisure time in what is
now popularity termed, The Working
Mans Club, a disguised name for
the dramshop, and his wages are
levied on by the proprietor, a new
woman will be necessary to keep the
home together unless he himself be-
comes new man.
"The late Lord Chief Justice Coler
idge said that at moderate estimate
something like 95 per cent Of the
crimes tried in the courts are due to
drink"
The Catholic Archbishop Of Ireland
has recently declared that but for al.
cohoIic stimulants Ireland would be
practically without crime.
The temperance reform is the uni
versal solvent, bringing brotherhood
to the front and sending Sectarianism
and Sectionalism to the rear.
The records as given to the labor
leaders in England show that the
license system was devised in the in
terest of the sristocracy, who wish to
keep the people down, and knew they
could do so if they were only sodden
with drink.
1ntemperance in our great cities
pushes people into the tenement
houses and the misery and filth of the
tenement houses pushes them into the
saloons.
The Roman Catholic young women
of Danbury, Conn.,, have formed a
society of members pledged not to
mary any man who is not strict
abstainer. The only wonder is that
this measure Of self protection has
not been strenuously carried out by
young women Of common sense in
every line OF life. One is tempted
to think that they are cleft to believe
: lie that they might be" condemned
to live lives of misery, else they
would no more run the risk of marry
ing drinking man than they would
that Of going to the mad house. And
yet by tens of thousands they do this
every day, and while their husbands
take the drink they take-the conse-
quences.

SCOTS BODY FOUND.
Remains of the Missing Treasurer of
Holt County, Nebraska, Found.

Holt County, Nebraska, Found.
The body of Barrett Scott, the default
ing treasurer of Holt County, Nebraska,
who, while out riding with his family on
New Years eve. was fired upon by u
party of vigilantes, and after being
wounded was dragged from his carriage
blindfolded and then placed into another
vehicle and taken in n northerly direc-
ton, was found about 10 o'clock Satur-
day night in the Niobrara River, about
300 feet below the bridge on the Boyd
County side, close up to the bank and in
about seven feet of water. He was in
his shirt sleeves, but had his watch and
chain and other personal effects on just
as he wore them in life. The body was
taken to an undertaking establishment
and there placed on board, just as taken
from the river, frozen and disheveled
the rope around the neck. hands tied be-
hind him and clothing and hair filled with
sand. Wounds in the right ear and back
of the head are plainly visible, but there
is no other evidence of violence Yet to
what torture he may have been subjected
before death came to his relief can only
be conjectured by his friends and re-
vealed by his murderers. The body was
Hoover, of Boyd County, and an inquest
was begun.
The credit of finding the body was
largely due TO the energy and enterprise
of the citizens of the vicinity of Northern
Holt and Southern Boyd Counties. The
day after SCOTS disappearance some Of
the parties who have since been arrested
for completely in the murder were seen
lurking around in the vicinity of the Mo
brara bridge. and suspicion was aroused
that the body had been thrown into the
river. A week last Friday the search be-
gan. The weather at that time was so
cold that many of the searchers froze
fingers, noses and ears, and work was
temporarily suspended. Saturday morn
ing by concerted action by citizens of that
vicinity and delegations from O'Neill, At
kinson, Spencer and Butte the work was
resumed, with above result.

EUROPEAN GRAIN CROPS.
Interesting Statistics Gathered by the
Agricultural Department..

Grain statistics of foreign countries
for the past year are given in n report is
sued by the Agricultural Department. In
European Russia the estimated output
for 1894 is as follows: Rye, S21 ,534 ,9O4
bushels; wheat, 2S2, G42, 040; oats 6S7,-
ST6,30S: barley, 1876, 71S,21S; buckwheat,
A., 309650. The production of Great
Britain is estimated as follows: Wheat
area 1 1927 ,962 acres and production 31,-
OBJ ,927 Winchester bushels; barley,
2,095,771 acres and 74,553,S 07 bushels
and oats, 1858, 401 acres and 1870, 1872, %
bushels In France the output was in
round numbers 343, $50, 900 bushels Of
wheat, 76,560,000 of rye, 56,550,OO0 of
barley and 27S,93S,000 of oats. The
wheat product for the year in Germany
aggregated over 126,4O0,0O0 bushels;
winter spelt, 33,336,OCO; rye, 32G,633,
600; spring barley, 10000, 900; oats,
100000; potatoes, 1929, 704, aud
meadow hay, %, Dos, 500 tons. The Rou-
manian Government estimates the prin-
cipal crop of wheat 1854, 900 bushels,
rye ), 100 900, barley 16,906,0O0, and oats,
10,019,0O0. In Italy wheat aggregated
almost 123, 100000 bushels, oats almost
100000, barley over 100000, maize
Wheat exports from the Argentine Re
public for the first seven months of the
year aggregated 61S,573 tons. In Onta-
rio wheat aggregated over 20,500,O00,
barley IL 100000, oats over 72,000,000.
potatoes 100000, and peas 4,4OO, 900
Winchester bushels. Manitoba produced
100000 Winchester bushels of wheat,
l., 100000 of oats. and 100000 of po-
tatoes and other root crops.
Reports from European agents of the
department show that there is a more
hopeful feeling in the grain markets Of
England and that the farmers there are
expecting better prices. In Southern Eng
land great floods have overrun large ex-
panses of arabic land and have limited
somewhat the area intended to be de-
voted TO winter wheat The development
of winter seedlings of crops in France is
rapid, and the condition of next years
crop is generally reported as highly fav-
orable. Excess of rain has proved un-
favorable TO seeding operations in the
north of Italy. and in Roumania the wheat
area is considerably reduced. In Germany
mild weather has made the development
of plants unusually rapid, and the sowings
in Spain are reported by telegraph as COM
pleted under favorable conditions. The
extreme wet has compelled large number
of farmers in Belgium to postpone sowing
until very late.

and quilted the palace of the Elysee under
a sense of deep distress All the mem
bers of the cabinet, from Prime Minis
ter Dupuy down, followed Challemet- La
cour and exhausted every argument to
induce Casimir-Perier not to resign.
Their efforts were without success. Du-
puy again visited the palace of the Ely
see later in the evening and was closeted
with the President for forty-five minutes
urging every possible inducement and ap-
pealing to every patriotic sentiment In
order to get him to reconsider his determi-
nation. All was without avail. After
interviews of the project of the Seine
and the project of police with NJ. Casimir-
Perier, they received from Dupuy in
structions to be followed during the
crisis. The report of the resignation Of
the President became generally known at
IL o'clock, but was universally discredit-
cd, and a general movement was made
toward the newspaper Offices with
view to learning the truth. Soon the
papers exhibited lantern transparencies
Of the official note. Even then many
persons refused to believe that the event
was positive. Finally they became con-
vinced that the President had really re-
tired and assembled in groups, discussing
the chances of those who would be named
to succeed him.

when their situation can be made known
to Congress. This Mr. Bayard has al
ready done, for on his arrival in London
he sent letters, which he had previously
written in this country and shown to his
official superior. in which the hope Of
amendment of their situation was held
out.
At the present time Mr.. Gresham has
received communications from the ambas-
sailors setting forth that their positions
are absolutely untenable. At their con-
ference. the American diplomats agreed
upon n representation to the State De-
partmcnt that, in their opinion, il would
be advisable in the interests of our ma
tional dignity to reduce at once the grade
of our foreign establishments 10 its for
mer level. This would save each diplomat
$4,000 year, since a minister is saved
coach expenses and the cost of entertain
ing other ambassadors. Unfortunately,
however such a proceeding would leave
the ambassadors from the five foreign
powers i'm Washington in a very undigni-
fed position. Their governments would
undoubtedly recall them and the entente
cordiale would be jeopardiZed.

The result of the election in the French
National Assembly was in its way nearly
as surprising as the sudden desertion of
his post by Nj. CasimirPerer. Nj. Felix
Faure, the new President of France, was
probably the least prominent of the three
candidates who showed strength in tie
contest. His own following in the AS
sembly gave him on the first ballot but
216 votes to 344 votes for NJ. Brisson and
1915 for NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau, and it
was only when the latter withdrew from
the field that the second and decisive bal
lot gave him u majority of votes over NJ.
Brisson.
In the French political turmoils Of the
last ten years NJ. Faure has played com
paratively inconspicuous part and outside
France his name is almost unknown. At
the age of "a he looks back upon long
career of public service, both military and
civil, but curiously free from sensational
successes or defeats. In the Franco
Prussian war he was chief of battalion
and later was an active participant in the
work of putting down the commune. 1t

PERiER is OUT.
The President of France Suddenly
Resigns His High Office.

NJ. Casimir- Perier, President Of the
French Republic, has resigned his Office.
Prime Minister Dupuy impaired Presi-
dent Casimir Perier's decision to the
Presidents of the Senate and Chamber
of Deputies, who will forthwith call
urgency sittings of those bodies. When
the facts became known CONSERVATION,
amounting almost to stupor, seized every
one. There had been ominous hints in
the press in the recent days that Nj. Cas-
imir- Perier was growing tired of his posi-
ton, yet nobody paid any attention to
them. The high character, experience,
firmness, and integrity of the President
inspired the confidence of even the ad-
vanced Republicans.
The long conference which NJ. Casimir-
Perier had with NJ. Challemet-Lacour,
President of the Senate, is now explained.
He had already resolved to resign. NJ.
ChallemetLacour employed his utmost
eloquence in a vain endeavor to persuade
the President to reconsider his decision
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1895-01-25

was not until 1881 that he made his first
appearance upon the floor of the Chamber
of Deputies. Since that time he has been
an Understanding of State in three
Cabinets, serving in the intervening per-
iods as n Deputy, and for a brief term as
Minister of Marine in the Dupuy Cab
met.
Until the temper Of the French people
can be ascertained it will b. impossible
TO foresee the possible effects Of the cleo
ton. What is most important just now
is that definite and early decision of tho
Presidential contest is good thing fer
France. 1t was more important that the
Presidency should he filled than that he
man elected should be exactly the right
man 70 fill it. The avenue through which
danger menaced the Constitution lay
through possible deadlock in the Assem-
bly,, with the result of final usurpation
of authority. This danger has been avert
ed. Whether NJ. Faure is the man to con-
ciliate opposing factions and maintain a
neutral, conservative government is yet
TO be seen.

AGAINST JUDGE KICKS.
Committee Votes to Impcach-May Be
Tried Before the Senate.

Committee Votes to Impcach-May Be
Tried Before the Senate.
Washington dispatch: Congress was
given a decided surprise Tuesday by the
House Committee on the Judiciary,
which decided by a vote of to 6 to report
n resolution for the impeachment of Judge
Augustus ]. Kicks of Cleveland for NAL
feasance in Office. Not for many years
has United States Judge been called be-
fore the bar of the Senate to defend his
right to wear the ermine of Office against
criminal charges, and only three or four
times In the history of the government
has an impeachment trial of a member
of the Federal judiciary been conducted.
Few members had looked into the
charges preferred by the Central Labor
Union of Cleveland, the accuser of judge
Kicks, that while sitting on the bench no
paid TO himself fees which he claimed he
had previously earned as clerk of the
court, and to which IL is now asserted he
was not entitled. The number of years
which have elapsed since the transaction
and the contention of the Judges friends
that the proceedings were inspired by a
ruling prejudicial to the interests of LII
ed TO lessen the interest which ordinarily
would have been taken in the case.
Now that the Judiciary Committee has
deemed the matter of sufficient gravity
to warrant impeachment, 1t has become
suddenly decided sensation. The friends
of Judge Kicks declare that there are
large possibilities that the impeachment
may not be undertaken.
