Those who expected the testi-

were badly disappointed.

future. The future policy will be

It is said that the appropria-
ton bill to liquidate the debt con-
tracted by individuals for the
state exhibit at the Omaha expo
sition which barely passed the
House, will have considerable diff
fculty in running the guantlet in
tho senate. How intelligent men
that have the interest of their
constituents and progressiveness
of the state at heart and oppose
this measure is an insoluble ques-
ton. We have men in this
county, the same as others, that
did not hesitate to affix their sig
nature to papers gu aranteeing a
certain amount. that the inesti-
mable and unboundless resources
of the North Star State might be
held up for the mutual advance
ment of every inhabitant, and they
should not be required to pay the
amount subscribed, but the whole
state which has enjoyed the bene-
ft of their patriotism.

The question is often brough,
to the mind and attention of ou1
people who are fighting the liq-
uor traffic, why we do not have
a license or temperance commits
sioner and the only answer that
can be advanced, is, that the rum
power predominates. We. have
grain inspectors, boiler inspectors,
railroad and insurance commits
sioners, game wardens and
various other officers whose
duties are we'll understood.
There is no business under the
sun that requires an inspector or
commissioner more than the liq-
uor business does, not alone on
account of it's adulteration, but
that the spirit Of the law is car
ried out. It is claimed the farm
ers are defrauded by unfair grain
inspection. in adulterated liquor
everyone that is addicted to drink
is defrauded and poisoned, this
one fact alone is sufficient to have
an inspector. Boiler inspectors
are appointed to protect the lives
OF people By testing boilers and
examining the men who operate
them. Is there there any sane
person that will claim that there
are more people killed BY boilers
than BY ..rot-gut'' hiskey. Stop

We have not heard of any
requests for use Of the court room
for addresses, to convince people
that it is right to sell liqnor or
have saloons. If it is right why
should there not be some
arguments in it's favor. There is
no man, of any degree of intelli-
gence, that has got nerve enough
to get up before an audience in a
reputable public place and speak
in support of the liquor traffic,
but they can throw dust in some
peoples eyes by arguing on the
side, no license means high taxes

requires a guardian more than
rum, even if sold in a licensed
saloon, where minors, habitual
drunkards, men on the black list,
are permitted to enter and sold
intoxicating liquors, besides this
violate the law by keeping open
hours prohibited by law. A
temperance commissioner could
also investigate and look after
blind pigs in towns where the
people have not got backbone

Washington Letter.
(From Onr Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Janurv 81, 1899

WASHINGTON, Janury e., 1899,
Senator Davis promptly called
the opposition bluff, by asking the
unanimous consent Of the Senate
to vote on the treaty of peace
February 9Th: and the opposition
having committed itself could do
nothing but agree. The treaty
will be ratified with votes 10 gpara
as 1t known that q number Of SCH
ators who promised Senator Cor
man their aid in trying to get the
treaty amended will vote for rati-
tication. So this is likely to be
another instance of the buffer
being beat at his own game.
The finding of tho Eagan court
martial, now sitting in Washing
ton, will not be made public until
it has been reviewed by President
Mckinley. Gen. Eagen pleade d
not guilty, although acknowled-
ing that he used the language
upon which the charge of conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gen
tleman is based, and asked i'm
munity under the Presidents
promise that no witness before
the War Investigating Committee
should be punished for his testi-
mony. The plea is not regarded
as a valid one, because abuse of
his superior officer is not consid-
cred testimony.
The House is having quite a
lively time discussing the Hull
bill for the increase Of the regu-
lar army, which is to be voted
upon next Tuesday. It will GER
tainly be passed. The democrats
have been saying some ve1y fool
ish things about the danger Of q
