Saloons Closed.

The opinion of Judge Macy on the
sufIiciency of the mulct petition under
which the saloons of this county have
been operating the past year, was re-
ceived last Friday evening and it proved
to be against the petition. As we have
before stated Judge Macy visited our
town few weeks ago and heard oral
arguments on the case and the attor-
neys later submitted written arguments,
Salinger, Nash, Phelps & Mosier, Myers
& Blume and II. NJ Gray presenting the
case for the original petitioners and
Cosson Il Ross and j. M. Graham DIP
pearing for the parties resisting the
petition. The case was ably presented.
The facts were that the petition pre-
scented to the board at it's session last
winter contained the necessary number
of signers and a few over, but be-
fore the canvass of the names was COM
pleted by the board and the matter
closed, remonstrance was present
ed to the board in which number
asked that their names be taken from
the first petition. There were enough
on this remonstrance if it were
recognized, to defeat the original peti,
ton. The board held that the time for
getting names off the petition had pass
ed when they commenced to canvass
the names. This was the only point at
issue. Judge Macy decided that the
time that one had TO remove his name
by remOnstrance extended up to the
time of final action by the board, or till
the canvass of the nance was eomplet-
ed. Thus the action of the board was
reversed. The saloons closed Saturday
night, not caring to run any further
risks in the matter. There is talk OF an
appeal being to the supreme court, but
that is not yet definitely decided. 1t is
likely, however, that new petition of
consent will be circulated throughout
the county at no very distant date.

Gov. Shaw's Meeting.

Gov. Leslie M. Shaw addressed an
audience of about one thousand people
in the Park Saturday afternoon. The
weather was threatening rain all day
and once during the speaking it seemed
almost like adjournment would have to
be taken to the cnurt house because of
the cold wind and the rain. But the
Dig audience stayed and after awhile
the sprinkling ceased.
The business houses we're nicely deco
rated with the national colors in honor
OF lowas chief executive. The band
was on the streets soon after dinner
discoursing patriotic airs and the town
we'll filled with people. Mayor Hanna
called the meeting to order and intro
duced the Governor. The Governors
speech commencing at 2:3O lasted until
4:3O. 1t was greatly enjoyed by the big
audience and surely did the Governor
and his party much good politically.
The Governor spoke slowly, plainly
and in way that all could understand
the argument. His address was void of
personal abuse. He first devoted con.
siderable time to discussion of the
free silver question. On this subject
Mr.. Shaw is conceded to be ono of the
most convincing and educating speakers
in the country. His arguments are
original, pointed, easy to comprehend
and effective. He deems this the
leading question at issue until the DEM
ocratic party recedes from it's silver
position. He says If tho democrats win
this year in Iowa, or make gain here.
it will be heralded as free silver victory
above anything else. This is true for
Fred White is radical free silver man
and the platform he is running on re-
adopts the free silver platform in whole
and inpart.
The Governor then took up tho trnst
question showing that tho democrats
were no more anxious than the repub-
licans to remedy the evil Of trusts, but
that their opposition to trusts were
principally shown in platforms rather
than in any attempted definite legisIa-
ton. He showed the difficulty of get
ting at the trouble. He then spoke at
some length of the anti-imperilistc idea,
demolishing it till it was scarcely recog-
nizable.
Gov. Shaw's style Of speaking is very
attractive to the Iowa audience. He is
candid, truthful and free from abuse
He tells many stories, but they always
we'll illustrate what he desires to teach
and accomplish his purpose. He lacks

Death of }. j. KittelI.

On Tuesday evening of last week, j.
j. Kittell, OF Gray, fell from a railroad
bridge at Platsmouth, Neb, and died
about twenty hours thereafter, Mr..
Kittle was travelling optician and was
there on business. He was passing over
a railroad bridge which is not frequent
ed by pedestrians, and caught his foot
and fell to the ground, almost twenty
feet below. A Waterman near by saw
him fall and went to his aid and had
him conveyed to place where he could
be carefully attended. He revived suffic-
iently to give his name and place of
residence and to indicate that he was Il
Mason. He received every attention
possible, but died at 4:15 Wednesday
evening, before his wife, who was tele-
graphed for at.Gray, was able to reach
him. Mrs. Kittell returned Friday
morning on the G. G. N. w. with the
body, on Saturday Rev. E. b. Cousins
conducted funeral services there and
burial took place at Cameron Center
cemetery. The family have the sincere
sympathy of the community in their
sorrow.

OPEN DOORS IN THE ORIENT.


Lord Charles Beresford, admiral of
the British navy, has reached San
Francisco after a tour of the Orient
in the capacity of commissioner from
the associated chambers of commerce
of England. He is the reputed origin
ator of the open door" policy, in which
President Mckinley is said to have ac-
quie0ced for the Philippines as a means
to reach a settlement of commercial
differences in the Orient. Asked to de-
fine this policy the other day in San
francisco, the admiral said:
1t means simply that instead of
spheres Of influence" which means the
breaking up of the Chinese empire.
that England, America, Germany and
Japan shall by agreement maintain free
and equal commercial relations for all
in the Orient. 1t includes the reorgani-
cation of the Chinese armies, differed
both as to commissioned and non-com-
nissioned officers by Europeans, so
that the Chinese empire may be prop
curly pOliced and life and property made
safe. AS it is now, mobs and rebeilions
are liable at any time to destroy both
lives and property, as actually hap
peEed not long ago when about 6,000,00

the French mission in western China
was destroyed. China must have a
revenue, and the open door policy"
by guaranteeing orfer and uniformity
in customs regulations and tariffs, will
provide it in greater abundance than il
has ever been provided before, besides
lnsuring that it shall not be wasted, as
it is now. 1t will mean the opening up
of the empire in all its provinces. and
i L. i
sources of mining and commerce. The
returns from concessions of there nat
ural resources. now lying idle, will be
source of great revenue to the empire.
The benefits to be derived from this
arrangement by the United States are
not very apparent. The open door in
the Philippines means to them what
Lord Be~esfords policy in China means
equal commercial opportunities and
uniform tariff restrictions with all
countries competing for the trade. II
the Philippines are to remain a part of
the United States, as the administra-
ton plainly intends that they shall,
there is one country, at least, against
whose shipping there should be no tariff
duties laid. There is a clause in the
constitution which forbids trade re-
strictions or impost duties being en-
forced between different parts of this
nation.

brand of infarny upon the authorities
Of the dominant church, if true. and
if false there is no punishment too Sc
we're for the.libeler. If the charges were
mace against an individual or individ-
uals. there would be a chance to take
the matter into court. AS 1t is made in
discriminatory against an entire com
munity, there is no one to take the in
itiative. That is evidently the refuge
of our contemporary.
So far as old conditions and relations
are concerned, common sense suggests,
and the broadcast tolerance agrees that,
like a fountain stream whose fountain
has been checked, it shall. run its
course
But these charges are of new mar
riages contracted in open violation of
the law. They relate to new relations
entered into, to new obligations as
sumed, and they are serious indeed.
After all, the fight has shifted entirely
from Roberts to the church. If these
things are being done, which we doubt,
our contemporary will hardly accuse
Roberts of the whole category.
