The city council at Iankton raised the
saloon fine, making the minimum monthly
fine $50. After the passage Of the prohib-
tory law and after it was found that it
was impossible to enforce it, a monthly fine
Of $50 was placed upon each saloon. Since
that time the saloons have increased in
number till at present there are twenty six
falcons in the city. The action of the city
council will serve to decrease the number
Of saloons at least half and render strict

one majority, but the Yankton people will

Tariff War with Conti-

war between the United States
and Europe reached an acute
stage to-day. As foreshadowed in
tho Associated Press dispatches

act Of Mr.. Henglemuller. the new
Austrian minister, was the lodg.
msnt Of a protest against that
paragraph for q sugar schedule
act which imposes an additional
duty of Ito If / per cent on su-
gar coming to the United States
from countries which put an ex-
port bounty on it This action
was taken to-day. and the ground
taken by the minister was similar
to that which formed the basis of
the protest of Germany-that the
additional duty paid discriminates
against Austria and is consequent.
ly q violation of the treaty of COM
merce with that nation. So far
no threat Of retaliation accompa-
MED the protest, but in this Mr..
Henslemuller is but following the
example set by the German min
lister, and the next step will un-
doubtedly be in the same diree-
tion, namely, the imposition OF
some restriction upon an Ameri-
can product that is imported in
quantities into Austria.
The four great sources of oul
sugar supply, outside Of the small
proportion contributed by Louisi'
ana, are Cuba, Germany, France
and Austris. With three of these
countries we are already at odds
over the sugar duty, and in the
case Of France there are already
indications of the adoption of I
retalistory policy on the imposi
tion Of restrictions upon our mea
trade and the importation of whea
and -four. This whole subject was
under discussion by the Cabine
to-day, and as far as can be ga
tkered the outcome was that i

Crimes Against Women.

AprOpos of the assertion that in the
years 1898 and 1894 in this civilized
country no fewer than 1000 wives were
butchered by their husbands, while
many more received injuries severe
but not fatal, Hattie Tying Griswold
writes to the Chicago Times-Herald n
letter In which there are many inter
esting points. The first inquiry natur-
ally suggested by these statistics has
reference to their cause. "They," says
Mrs. Griswold, "are doubtless many
and varied, but prominent among
them are strong drink and the mania
Of sex, which Is an attendant upon
excessive indulgence in It. As you read
the accounts of these murders day by

THE STRUGGLE IN CUBA.
Our DlIty Is Plain,

Philadelphia Record: 1.-THE history of
Spanish rule on the American continent
since It's discovery by Columbus has been
long chronicle of selfish greed and IN
capacity. As consequence all the vast
possessions of Spain upon the American
continent have been torn from her grasp
by the upr.sings of subjects who sought
relief by revolution. 1t now appears pos
sble that Cuba will follow in the path
marked out by Mexico and the Central
and South American republics. The peo-
pie OF the United States who owe their
liberties TO successful rebellion cannot
look with Indifference upon the struggle
of the Cuban insurIect on.sts. We not
only heat!ly sympath.Ze with them in
their desire for better and freer govern
ment, but we have commercial interests
in common more important than the inter-
csts of Cuba with any other country.
Under such circumstances our govern
ment should BE- swift to accord to the
struggling rcvolut.onists bei!!gerent

The Value of Gowns on Judges.

Washington Post: 1T Is useless to
question the influence of forms and cere-
monies on the minds and hearts of the
masses. All that can be sad IN favor of
democratic simplicity Will not convince
intelligent observers that II would be ad-
visablc for the justices of the United
States supreme court to abandon gowns
and drop all the formalities which are OBJ
served at the opening of each days ses-
sion OF that tribunal. In most of the
state courts and In many federal courts
there Is too little form and an injurious
familiarity between the bar and the bench.
The wearing of gowns cannot make a
weak Judge strong; II cannot put a knOwl-
edge of law into an empty head; cannot
correct errors made In the election or APP
po.ntment of Judge; II will. however,
tend to draw proper line between the bar
and the bench and will favOrably impress
the general public"

Philadelphia Tines: ''1f the United
States had acted in imitation of Spain at
the tine of our CYL war we should have
recognized the Cuban insurgents as bel
ligerents long ago. Within little more
than a month after the first battle of Bull

insurgents of the south than was there a
victory for the Cuban insurgents at the
battle of Bayamo, from which the Span
ish commander had to flee for his lfe.
the government of Spain recognized the

of Span to recognize the Cuban rebels as
