TEMPERANCE TALK.
No License the Hue and Cry of the
Meeting at the Opera House Last
Evening-No Politics In It. u.

The temperance rally comfortably
filled the opera house last night though
the attendance OF voters was small. The
opening piece by the juvenile band was
much appreciated and also the singing
of the male 1uartette-Messrs. Waters,
Holdrldge. Haugen and Mease. Rev.
MIR. Rosewarne Of the Presbyterian
church conducted the devotional exer-
cises and Supt. McClenon presided. The
clergy of the city and speakers Of the
evening were also on the platform.
Supt. McClenon spoke a few minutes
on the objects of the good government
organization, the chief of which was to
secure the enforcement Of law and the
saloon.
The other speakers confined their ar
guments to the license question advo-
eating, NO license"
President Beadle thought from the
large gatherings lately held in the city
that the people were deeply interested
in this grave question and he hoped for
the credit Of our town abroad and the
prosperity Of our schools and city that
our people would do as Bookings and
Eermillion have done. vote out the sa-
loon. Drunkenness and the consump-
ton OF liquor had greatly increased since
the return of the open saloon aud he
believed that those contemplating send
ing their sons to school here and oven
legislators would have it in for US be-
cause of our record on this issue.
Prof. w. W.. Girton az a private c,ti-
Q with a family Of boys to protect was
deeply interested in the suppression of
the saloon and as duelling and prize
fighting had become disreputable and
virtually passed away in the last humid
red years he believed that the selling of
liquor would IN like manner sooh be
driven from our midst.
Judge Holdridge thought that an
open passage way ought to be made to
the polls for a victim Of incompetence or
advocate of the saloon in the past who
had seen the error of his way and wished
to reform by voting against the license
system. Next Tuesday a man must
take one side OF the question or the
other, or be a coward. The only ques-
ton before US now is: "Are we in favor
Of the licensed saloon or are We not?"
mo license is no infringement OF per.
sonal liberty. The ordinances OF our
city we're not passed to drive the liquor
seller ont but to protect him aud get
revenue from him. "B,ind pigs can't
y N Mf''son If the administration
d.. wait tlar, f.nsNo.s .Io.ected
because they paid while others were
driven out. But he did not believe in
selling the virtues of the city in this
way for revenue.
Judge McGrath followed the other
speakers in q similar vein and the audi.
ence was dismissed with the benedio-
ton.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS
Are a Cord Investment Wisely Planned
But How About the Future-A
Question Of Taxation.

The city auditors office shows in the
returns for the past month a very favor
able condition of the electric light plant.
Exclusive of the street and city lamps,
there are now being used 991 incandes-
cent lamps in stores and private dwell
ings and quite a number more orders for
new lamps in the future. The rev
enuefrom this source the past month is
s245 which is a very neat income, consid-
erably above the running expense Of the
plant In view of the fact that the plant,
with the exception of a few minor details
which will yet be adjusted at the ex-
pense of the contractors If those who
understand all the conditions OF the con-
tract and later agreements in the matter
have an opportunity to see that they are
fulfilled and carried out, is in excellent
condition and one of the best systems
owned by any city of the size in the
country. The council is deserving of
much credit for it's foresight and action
in this matter for had it not undertaken
the project just when they did the
money already expended which has half
paid the cost of the plant would doubt
less have been fr,ttered away on some
thing | SIS substantial and less service
able to the community. The proceeds
of the saloon licenses restored by the
vote Of the people has been utilized to
good purpose and should 1t be continued
for another year or two by the same au-
thority and expended by like capable
management the cost of the plant
would be entirely wiped out and
no increase II taxation felt.
Of course, with this source OF revenue
cut off and a new administration of city
affairs which might be unfamiliar with
contracts already entered into, there is
no telling how much additional
taxation might have to be levied before
the rest of the debt of the plant was paid
off. But this is a matter entirely with
the tax payers or voters themselves 10
determine and no one can say them nay
as to their choice Of methods of paying
it off. The present conncll and admin
istration certainly made a good use of the
means placed at their command by the
people. Let the next do as we'll and
there can be 10 cause of complaint.

De Smet News, 10: The matter of the
taxation of building and loan associa-
tions came up Tuesday in the shape of a
suit by the Lake Preston Building and
Loan Association against Kingsbury
county to compel the treasurer to cancel
the assessments for the years 1893 and
1894 on the ground that the taxation Of
the association was in fact a double tax
against the owners Of the stock. The
case was tried before II. S. Mouser OF
Huron. Philo Hall of Brookings, ap-
peared for the plaintiff and States At

Omaha detectives and Sheriff Eads OF
BonHomme county are having g warm
time we the $500 reward offered for the
capture of Holmes the Tyndall postoffice
'roqber who plead guilty in U. S. court
last week. The sheriff OF course cap.
tured the man in the Omaha Jail where
the detectives had lodged him on sus-
picion, and claims the reward because he
turned the robber over to U. $. author
tiles, but the detectives think they
ought t o have some OF the reward for
running him down. They don't, like the
sheriff, ask 1t all.

The ways and means committee of the
house are preparing q new war tariff
measure. 1t will provide for additional
revenue to the amount of 500, 100000 a
year by imposing al additional tax of 81
a barrel OF beer. 3 cents a pound Oh
coffee and 10 cents a pound on tea; it
Will also authorize the issue Of S50O,OOO,-
OOO IN ) per cent coin bonds, and the
issue of treasury certificates or nom
interest bearing notes from time to time
by the secretary Of the treasury as may
be required, such notes to be redeemed
at the will OF the government. Senator
Teller said such a measure would not tie
resisted by the silver men in the senate.
They will not oppose aLy war measures,
although they will insist that
all bonds issued be made payable in coin
and not in gold.
The members of the executive COM
mittee Of the Brewers association, which
represents 80 per cent of the brewers OF
the United States, who came here to re-
sist the imposition Of the tax upon beer,
have yielded and have gone back to
their homes with an agreement with the
committee On ways and means that the
proposed additional tax of 81 q barrel
will not be objected to, provided a pro-
vision is made for a rebate of ~ per
cent for beer that is spoiled. This
would make the tax $1.85 net, instead OF
81 q barrel, which would not be felt.
Beer sells at wholesale at an average
price throughout the country of 1G cents
per gallon, and 80 cents a gallon at
retail. The committee thinks, therefore,
that this allows q sufficient margin for
an additional tax.

COLUMBUS, May 3.-Major Valery
Harvard, detailed by the United States
government to examine and muster the
national guard at Camp Bushnell, has
arrived. He began his task today
and expects to finish in week or ten
days.
All day long camp was vocal with the
orders af the drill sergeants putting the
awkward squads through their PAGES. In
fact, there was hardly spot in the camp
where the sole of quiet civilian foot
could find rest. Wherever one went one
found a bunch of wild-eyed yearlings
charging at him under the command of
a fierce-voiced sergeant or corporal. The
result of the hard work is very clearly
apparent, however.
The new men are marching well, and,
except for lack of uniforms, make a
very presentable appearance. Part of
the time each day they are given in
structions in the manual of arms, and
no pains are spared to lick the men into
shape as soon as possible.
Major General Axline stated that the
government would issue arms to the
troops as soon as they are mustered into
service. 1t is anticipated that the new
30-caliber rifle will be issued instead of
the old Springfield $3.50. About 400
new uniforms were issued and the new
men will be uniformed day by day, as
fast as the uniforms are received at
camp.
The statement was made on the
highest authority that two regiments of
the Ohio national guard will be ordered
to Newport News, Va, within the next
ten days. One of these regiments will
be the Fourteenth .------

MOUNT GRETNA, Pa, May 3.-In-
spection day for the First brigade at
Camp Hastings was oyershadowed by
the enrolment of volunteers for the
United States army, and as has often
been demonstrated before, the Pennsyl-

the stuff of which they are made by
nobly responding to the call to duty.
The First brigade was mustered and
out of 1850 officers and men who re-
ported ON the field 2,241 volunteered to
go to war for the two years fixed by the
president.
Many of those who did not volunteer
include men of old age or known to be
unfit physically, musicians and men
whose families sorely needed their sup
port and who had been advised by their
officers not to volunteer. They num-
bered s officers and 431 men, and those
who will soon become United States
volunteers numbered 152 regimental
and company officers and 2,O89 men,

Former Liner Puts Out to Sea Under
Sealed Orders.
NEW YORK, May 3.-The steamship
Yale, formerly the American liner Paris,
has left her dock here under sealed
orders.
When the vessel swung out from the
pier hundreds of steam vessels in the
river saluted her with their whistles
and number of small cannon in the
vicinity doomed salutes. On the bridge
of the Yale stood Captain Watkins, her
former commander, and by his side
Captain w. c. Wise of the United
States navy, her present commander.
The Yale carried full supply OF stores
for an extended cruise and had 5000
tons of coal aboard.
The last distinguishing mark of the
American liner disappeared when the
name Paris was painted from her STERN
and the word Yale substituted in small
black letters. The only mark which re-
mains is the white band on each fun
nel-the American line funnel mark.
