A STEP FORWARD.

Another step forward was taken by
Speaker Reed when he ruled that it
was violation of order for a member
to get tn floor, when the House was
sitting as a committee OF the whole for
the purpose Of speaking upon bill I'M
der confederation and then TO make a
speech upon something entirely foreign
TO the bill. Because iJ is an old Gus
tom Tor members to utilize any old bill
that happened to be out as a basis for a
partisan political speech. is no reason
that it was right. or course, the dem
ocrats claim to see in this ruling a
fresh attempt on the part of the speak
er to suppress free speech, but it was
nothing of the sort. AS Representa-
tive DiDgley stated. after the democrat
tic howl which followed the applica-
ton of this ruling by Representative |
Payne, who was presiding over the |
House sitting as a committee, the en-
forcement of the rule against irrelev-

Other Way. Th.n BY War.

The following is taken from the
Boston Herald and published by re-
quest:
when asked for an expression of
her views upon the great question
that is agitating the people of the
country an present, the Rev. Mary
Baker 6. Eddy. the founder of Chris
tian Science, said: In reply to your
question Should difficulties between
the United States and Spain be set
tied peacefully by craftsmanship and
diplomacy, in way honorable and
satisfactory to other nationsy will
say can see no other way of settling
difficulties between individuals and
nations than that of their wholesome
tribunals, equitable law, and sound,
well-kept treaties.
"a bullet in mans heart never
settled the question of his life. The
mental animus goes on, and urges that
the answer to this sublime question
shall come from God, and its adjust
ment shall be according to His laws.
The character and lives of men de-
termine the peace, prosperity and life
of nations. Killing men is not conso-
nant with the higher law whereby
wrong and injustice are righted and
exterminated, but ofttimes the cause
of these evils.
Whatever weighs in the eternal
scale of equity and mercy tips the
beam on the right side, wherein and
whereby the immortal words and deeds
of men alone can settle all questions
amicably and satisfactorily. But if
our Nations rights or honor were
seized, every citizen would be sol
dier and woman armed with power
girt for the hour"

--------a--
the NEW ADMINISTRATION.

By the election OF Tuesday the city
government passes into the hands of
the ''Taxpayers.- The chief purpose
of this party was to license saloons,
but it is also pledged to HIGH license,
restriction as TO saloon privileges, en-
forcement of law, economy OF city
expenses and reduction OF taxes.
The party, like all others, has its
obnoxious features, its evil spirits,
but it is by no means wholly bad. IL
has better element. good, conseryn-
tive business men who win keep the
radicals from radical measures and
reckless expenditures. Already it is
semi-ofiicially announced that the new
board will refuse to grant license 10
those who have so dehantiy disregarded
all saloon laws in the past. This is
said by some to apply only to those
who have so persistently continued
to run low dives and blind pigs" dur
ing the past year, and by others to
include also certain persons who con
Quoted the higher class" saloons here
in former years.
'Tis not the RECORDS place TO adj
vertise no-license board, but If the
now aldermen will take some such
high stand; if they will enact and
enforce strong curtain and early
closing ordinances; stop the saloons
from being loafng place and possi-
bly, enact an anti-treating law, then
show the people that they can con-
duct the city affairs with less funds
than the former administration and
save to the taxpayers the full amount
of licenses gathered in from saloons
by reducing the rate of taxation, to
that extent they will put themselves
in position where they will be hard
to defeat another year.
On the other hand, if they en-
act Low license laws and fill the town
with dives and the more disreputable
class of saloon-keepers, if the restric-
ton laws are not fully enforced and
If taxation is not reduced the Tax
payers" party will stand no more show
of reelection next spring than would
Mark Hanna of carrying Colorado.
The balance Of power in Canon is in
the hands Of people easily moved and
they will not be fooled by false prom
ises.
The Taxpayer has one great ad-
vantage over the other party. What
ever laws the new administration may
make they will find no heartier sup
porters among their own ranks than
among the ''Reformers.r If the Re-
form people believe IN anything it il
in the enforcement of law, and none
the less 10 because the laws are not
q thsie ON naking.
