SaIOOniSfS Shut Out.

The Masonic Grand Lodge, in session at st.
Paul during the past month, declared saloon
keepers and bartenders ineligible to member
ship. The preamble adopted states that "the
sale ofintoxicating liquors as a beverage tends
only to degradation and misery" Six hun
dred delegates were present. This resolution
has been smothered in committee at several
preceding sessions. Several orders which have
an insurance feature have taken similar &C.
ton as measure of self protection. The &C.
ton of the masonic order is significant in that
it was taken on moral grounds.
Backbone. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. ;) 1897-1906, 1897-02-01
A Man as Well as Minister.

There is a churchly tradition coming down
from the dark ages that the priest and min
lister must not concern himself too much with
earthly affairs. This must be worn or cut
away and the priest and minister ceasing to
be of that tabled third sex must become a man
of affairs and of the world. He must place
himself under his share of the political bur
den and as teacher of the truth must speak
fearlessly and apply the truth to modern con-
ditions and necessities.-Thos n. Strong.

The Boss Anarchist.

What can anarchy do that the saloon does
not do? If the one defes the law, SO does the
other. If the one fouts at civil government
so does the other. If the one destroys hui
man life and wrecks human homes, so does
the other. If the one curses God and derides
religion, so does the other. There is not a
clause in the Constitution nor a line in the
Declaration of Independence nor an injunc-
ton Of the Decalogue that is not daily and
hourly violated by the liquor traffic, for it's
very existence is a direct contradiction to the
principles that underlie all these deliverances
from man and God.

The Christian Commonwealth, of London,
speaking of the difficulties in the way of the
liquor reform, states the case thus, which
shows that the rummies have the same polit
ical grip in Britain that they have in this land:
"The Tory Party is in the main tied to the
brewers dray, while the Liberal Party is, as
whole, afraid to upset the dray."

PUSH THE BATTLE.
AN APPEAL FOR THE s1NEws OF WAR.
{ PROHIBITION HEADQUARTERS,
! Minneapolis, Feb. 10, '97.

The last three months have been marked by
greaterssconfdence, activity and self-sacrfce
the part of our workers than any corresponding
period Immediately following election since
the organization of the party. State and county
conferences are the order of the day. new
life has been infused into the party. While
there is still an honest difference of opinion
among us as to the breadth of the ideal plat
form, there is a growing feeling that the tri
umph of the Prohibition party and the incorpor-
alton of its principles into state and national
legislation are the burning need Of the nation.
And since other parties ignore this issue, we
must all the more bravely and persistently push
it to the front.
While rejoicing in the progress of the work
of promise in our own state In the three weeks
following election day. our workers, in spite of
the hard times contributed $500 to meet the
unpaid bills of the campaign. And now comes
the news of "Gov.'' Deans banquet, at which
about IS Prohibitionists pledged 81 ,275 for the
work of 1897. This is a good starter and we
now appeal for an equal amount from the state
at large. Not less than $500 will be required
for the work which this year of opportunity
ought to witness.
AS to our particular plans, I need add moth
ing to what has appeared in papers, except
to say that if the requisite means are provided
we contemplate thorough reorganization of
our forces in every part of the state, and a
very extensive circulation of vote-making liter
allure among both Prohibitionsts. and "hope-
fuls'' The high character and business ability
of the members of your committee are guar
antee that the funds entrusted to it will be
expended judiciously.
By this time you probably asking your
selves how much you ought to give. Only few
words upon this point:
You know better than I can tell you what
you are able to give. The cause is yours as
we'll as mine, and have no reason tor doubling
your willingness to bear your fair share of it's
burdens. I only ask that you do what you can,
and that we hear from you very soon in order
that the precious weeks of this great year may
be improved to the utmost. Subscriptions will
be payable quarterly unless you indicate other

Stocks md Hands

New York. Jan. 5.-Business in stocks
was again to-day of very slender propor-
tons with an irregular movement and the
market frequently bordered on stagnation
In the forenoon session, lower prices were
current on moderate pressure against the
SpecialtieS. The losses scored were not
extensive, however, as the traders part
ly on account of the lack of pressure OF
lcnS stock. We're indisposcd to commit
themselves to any important extent upon
the short side. Uncertainty regarding the
attitude of congress on the Cuban and
other important considerations restrict
ventures upon the long side, and. hence
the speculative apathy. More favorable
exhibits of railroad earnings including the
fourth week of December We're followed
ahout 12:30 y. m. by Washington advices
announcing a postponement of action or
the Cameron Cuban resolutions and a gem
eral upward movement resulted. i'll which
many leading stocks scored gains. Wash
ington houses were conspicuous in the rise
The improvements in the specialties were
exceptionally large and the gas stocks
We're more prominent than for some time
past The closing was strong with COM
rarative figures showing improvements of
a pCint or thereabOutS in many stocks
There was an increase in activity in the
usually neglected railroad bond issues and
higher prices We're generally recorded.

LIGHT TRADING CONTINUES IN ALL
STOCKS:
The Market at Times Bordered on
StagnatiOn. and Early Sales Low
er-But the Close Was Firm,
With the Loss Gained.

The opening of the new year has brought
no noteworthy change in the money mai
kel of the country. The January dis
bursements in New York for interest and
dividends added largely TO an already ex-
cc@Sive supply of idle money there, ana the
loan market continues very dull and easy.
The number of bank failures in the North
west seems to have had no influence under
the circumstances. Last Saturdays New
NCr7 bank statement showed an increase
of 3102. 600 in loans, S639 700 in legal ten
ders. and Si947.SOO in deposits, but dc
crease of $425 100 in specie. The surplus
reserve increased 81, 022. $50. making it now

In Foston and Baltimore money IS re-
ported quiet and easy. and in Philadelphia
it is weak. At Cincinnati the loan mar
ket is said to be active, and steady in
Chicago. St. Louis reports money quiet
and easy, while here at Kansas City the
situation remains much the same rs Il
week ago. But little call is being hal for
money just now. Cattle feeders and grain
men are borrowing some. but the general
trade is making but little new paper. Both
borrowers and lenders are inclined to 90
slow for the present. The supply OF
money. however, is good and the indica-
