The Saloons Won 1t.

The plain truth is that for the first
time in the last fifteen years the
liquor vote of the State was divided
on State and municipal issues. The
election has demonstrated that the
liquor vote of New York has ceased to
be unit for the Democratic ticket
The result is most gratifying, for it is
the first important step in the direc-
tion of taking the liquor issue out OF
politics. In that city a mayor has
been elected whose convictions are
not tainted by a ma rrow-minded, puri
tanical spirit. He has again and
again defined his position as that of a
man oi liberal views, who will not al
low the use of obsolete laws for the
purposes of blackmail by those who,
by virtue of their Office, are charged
with supervision of the liquor traf-
fic- Unfortunately, his powers in that
regard are limited. The mayor can
not make the laws, but he can advise
much modification of existing laws as
Will bring these laws in harmony with
public sentiment. Mayor Strong has
promised to do that.-Wine and

IN Important Decision.

After years OF litigation the famous
Mission land case st Vancouver has
finally been passed upon by the Unite,
States Supreme Court. The decisio,
Is in favor OF the United States Go,
ernment and against the Catholi
Mission. The following dispatch
dated on the 9th explains it:
In the case OF the Catholic Bisho,
of Nesqually, Wash, vs. John T. Gibboi
and r. T. Yeatman and the Unite,
States, the decision of the Unite.
States Court for the district of WASH
ington was affirmed to-day by tn
Supreme Court. The act of Congress
establishing the Territorial govern
ment of Oregon confirmed title t
land not exceeding 160 acres, occn
pied as missionary stations among til,
Iudian tribes to which missionar,
stations belonged. In February, 1887
the Catholic corporations began suit
for $40 acres adjoining the town o
Vancouver, 430 acres of which wert
occupied by the government as
military reservation. The Unite,
States Circuit Court entered degre,
in favor of the defendants and dis
missed the bill.
The mission was established in 1888,
when the land was in possession of
the Hudson Bay Company, and in
1850 Col. LOring. of the army, created
by proclamation Il military reservation
four miles.square, (which was afterward.
by act OF Congress, reduced to GAO
acres. The church asserted its claim,
but the Secretary of the Interior, in
1872, decided it was entitled to a
small tract-less than half an acre
upon which the building stood.
Justice Brewer, for the court, said
that the decision OF the Secretary was
conclusive. Referring to the merits
OF the controversy, he said the act
creating the Territory only conveyed
the land actually occupied by the
missionary societies in their own right.
The real occupant OF the land, he said
was the Hudson Bay Company, and
the mission station was only there On

MORTON FOR GOLD.
Mr.. Clevelaud's Secretary OF Agricul.
ture Out Against Silver.

Washiaston, April 22.-Secretary Nor
ton, in an interview on the silver ques-
tion, says:
II do not believe that an international
conference can establish permanently a
commercial ratio between gold and silver
any more than it can establish perma-
nent commercial ratio between rye and
wheat. But if an international con ference
can fl the price of gold and silver it can
also fix the price of wheat, or of any
other commodity, and thereby avoid all
the possible shrinkages in values which
tend to cause panics.
"My own judgment is that we must
sooner or later declare that the United
States of America recognizes gold as the
best and least fiuctuating measure of
value and medium of exchange which the
commerce of civilization has thus far
utilized.
ut is barely possible the fallacies OF
the Populists may temporarily secure
majority of the voters of the United
States. Should such catastrophe over
take the country the people must learn
by experience what they should have
learned by diligent study and reason.
"The time for straddlers is past. Those
who are for sound currency on gold
basis ought to have the courage to say
so, and abide by the results of their de-
claration. 1t makes no difference to me
whether a declaration of truth either
upon the tariff or on the money question
temporarily drives them from US or
allures them to US.
~ have no hesitation in declaring my
self utterly opposed to all the free coin
ing fallacies. My judgment is that sill
yer can not be restored to its former
monetary place in the commerce of this
world, because the supply of silver has
outgrown the demand of silver in the
exchanges of civilization. The relation
of supply to demand is the sole regu-
lator of value. This axiom applies eike
to salt, silver, sugar and soap. All leg
islation of all the law-making bodies on
the face of the globe can neither miti-
gate nor annul the operation of the inex-
orable law that the relation of supply
and demand is the sole regulator Of
value
"The presidents critics, however, ask
what sound money is. An ordinary
man of business can answer that ques-
tion. Sound money is that sort of
currency which has the most universal
and least fluctuating purchasing power
in the markets Of all countries. That
money is the 'soundest' for which
throughout the commerce of the civil
ized world there is the most universal
demand. And that universal demand is
always based upon the universal and un-
huctuating purchasing power of that
money"

nacle was crowded by 10000 people,
Moody announced that word had come
from several points that rain had fallen.
A few minutes later the storm burst on
Fort Worth. DR.. Moody gave thanks to
God and called upon the congregation to
join in singing. The song had just be-
gun when the rafters gave way and the
roof sank. Heavy tlmbers and boards
came down on portion of the congrega-
tion. Scores of women tainted and men
piled pell nell over them. Moody lifted
both hands to heaven, moving his arms
slowly to and fro. His GOODNESS stopped
the panic. The casualties are: j. V. In

was lodged in Jail and it is reported that
he will eventually be imprisoned on the
island of Corsica. During the voyage
Waller frequently asked to be allowed
permission to write. The French Off
cials declined to grant his request on &C.
count of his refusal to show them the let
ter he intended to write.

too clever and practical to pursue tail
twisting policy in regard to the British
ultimatum to Nicaragua. The Monroe
doctrine, it adds, is fne thing to talk
abopt, but it does not exist in actual

have made it very difficult for foreign
powers to obtain reparation when
foreigners or foreign interests are as
sailed by local populations or author

"That is the plan of his friends. l do

Live Stock shiDlnents,


London, April pa Copy of the Aus
tralasia Trade Review says:
A welcome development has occurred
in the visit to Australia of 60. Brabbin, a
large army contractor, who is undertak-
ing the buying and shipping of live stock
from Australia to the united kingdom.
Arrangements have been entered into
with the Gulf and Port lines to carry live
cattle until larger steamers can be put on
specially fitted for the trade. A ship
ment of 116 head of cattle left Sydney by
the Gulf of Bothnia, and other shipments
are to follow. While it is satisfactory
that British enterprise is undertaking
this trade from start to finish, 1t is also a
matter OF regret that Australian enter
prise had not earlier placed Australian
cattle at the door of the British army con-
tractor without waiting until the lat
ter ferreted US out in our seclusion.
Live sheep are landing in London in
good condition and realizing payable
prices.
