Pioneering.

IL is quite the custom to speak of the
whites who were the first to go among the
Indian tribes of the west rs pioneers OF
civilization" The civilization" was not
always of perfectly civil order. The Off
Gals and traders of the old Hudson Bay
company used to claim credit for this
rough pioneering. If we may judge from
the records of the company, their work
was thorough in its way, but the way was
hard one. Some entries in the account
books Of the company, made more than
100 years ago, will show how the civiliz.
ing was being done:
"Dec. 81, 1895. Served out quart of
rum per man; the evening spent in limo
cent mirth and jollity.
"Jan. /, 1896. All the Indians drunk
about the place; great trouble in keeping
order"
Two entries Of an earlier date and from
station still farther north show what
were the amenities of intercourse between
the "civilized'' and savage races when
questions Of right and justice were in the
way of settlement. The first entry reads:
The company's cook, lad of 16, hav-
ing been carried off by the Esquirnaux.
three ont of Il party of six passing Esqui.
maux We're seized as hostages until the
return OF the boy"
Five years later another brief entry
shows how this transaction was finally
closed:
Had row with tho thrco ESquimaux
detained They were shot and their ears
picked in rum and sent on to their tribe
tn show them what had happened. -

THE PREACHERS SALARY.
An Evangelist Makes n Contract Which

Pays Him Very Well.
In certain sections of the United States,
notably in those where the religious ex-
preston is the strongest and the congrcga-
tions the poorest, and these characteristics
arc always combined there is an ever
present conflict as to what the preacher
ought to have and what he is going to get,
and it was ON this subject Il visiting

Two up state farmers, Jerry and Jake,
had been enjoying Il Erief holiday at New
York, and during the trip they had seen u
great many sights. Jerry was rather "a
-dominecring sort of fellow, and, some
what to his companion annoyance and
humiliation, had taken the lead all day.
In fact, Jake had been trailCd about here,
there ard everywhere willy nilly without
being consulted, and he was just about sick
of it all At last it was time to go home
When they reached the station, Jake
marched upon the platform and jumped
into the first car he saw.
What have you got in there for?'' de-
manded Jerry as he came up.
ITO please myself, returned Jake sulk-
lily.
We'll, get out. then. This isn't our
train, ;" said Jerry.
~ don't care ii straw whose train it is
Jerry. I'm going with it. "
Jake, don't lie fool This train
doesn't go our way. 1t goes to Chicago
and that's where it will take you if you
don't get out.
Il tell you don't care where it takes
me to, Jerry. You have had your own
way with me all the day, and I've never
gone anywhere L wanted to go. So don t
care If it takes me to San Francisco Pm

After hotly contested fight Judge
Louis E. McComas Was elected on
Tuesday last United States Senator
to succeed Senator Arthur p. German
The Democratic members of the Sen
ate and the House of Delegates voted
soldIy for Senator German through
out the contest. When the Force
Bill was before the House of Repre-
sentatives, Senator-elect McComas
voted for that odious measure.
In casting his vote for McComas or
Tuesday last, Senator Stevenson A.
Williams, stated in explaining his
vote, that lie was unalterably
opposed to any such measure as the
Force Bill, and that if he believed
that Judge McComas, if elected would
support such a measure again, he
would not cast his for McComas.
The faithful eleven" delegates

holding out for Il Baltimore Senator
split on Tuesday. Speaker SchaeffeI

his vote to McComas.

PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE
LOCAL. OPTION Law.

Senator Williams has introduced a
bill to repeal two sections of the pre-
sent local option law which allows
druggists to sell intoxicating liquors
on prescription. This was done at
the request of a committee of ten who
were appointed to make an effort to
have the present law made stronger.
To say this is inconsistent is to
brand their action very mildly. If
any one will take the trouble to ex-
anime the whole law they will see
that it will be unlawful for a drug
gist to sell tincture of any kind in
which alcohol is an Ingredient. AS
there is scarcely n prescription COM
pounded which does not contain some
kind of tiucture, no druggist could
legally continue i'll the business. Sup
pose however, tinctures or any medi-
cal composition should not be included
in the meaning of the law, then any
one could take a barrel of whisky
and put spoonful of quinine in it
and sell it legally.
There is no way to stop the sale of
liquor. All we can do is to regulate it
by law.
