almost all the leading downtown sa-
loon keepers, who have for the last
week peen in conference with number
or legislators of the upper house. The
DIN to be passed will be framed after
the Raines law in New York 1t has
been found to work well there, and it
is the belief that the results will be the
same in Chicago
In conference held on Monday last
Senators Evarts. Gilchrist. Mcleod,
Case, Curley and Hall agreed unani-
mously with the liquor firms of Hannah
& Hogg, j. w. Berry, James H. Lomax
and others that the bill as advocated
was in every way advisable and proper.
The cause of temperance would be fur
thered they argued.
Il have the promise of Senator Evarts
that he will do all in his power to make
the bill a law said j. w. Berry.
This spreading of a free luncheon IN
public houses tends to bring to our
places undesirable trade. We, who
have prominent downtown corners. are
compelled to pay exceptionally high
rents. Our buffets must be kept like
parlors in their neatness to attract a
profitable trade. With a free lunch
spread for all corners. every Tom, Dick
and Harry takes advantage of the sit
uation and sprawls himself out much
like pigs in a pen. The atmosphere of
the place soon becomes surcharged with
the smoke of foul pipes and worse
cigars. Men who give but little atten-
tion to their wearing apparel and who
care nothing for clearly appearance &C.
cupy the chairs about the dining tables
to the exclusion of the merchant or
shopkeeper who drops in for nip and
a bite. The tax on beer has been raised
to such an extent that in reality there
is but little profit in the sale of the
brew, not to speak of the expense of
extra hired help and the bill of the ca
terer. My bills for the lunch l serve
al my different places of business never
run short of $50 per day, and that extra
expense must be made up from the
very small profits derived from the sale
of beer. 1t is losing venture and
should never have been adopted. Lead
ing restaurant men have assured me
that they will fight to abolish the free
lunch"
Said Mr. Hannah of Hannah & Hogg:
4 find that it is an expense from
which no profit can be derived. The
Raines law in New York is a good one
and works we'll and I have no doubt
it will be found the same here
With but one or two exceptions all
the ministers of the gospel have taken
up arms with the saloonmen, arguing
that the move will greatly help the
cause of temperance.
Many a young man who took his
first drop of liquor did so because he
was lurad into a saloon or buffet by
the prospect of getting a free dinner"
said one clergyman, in speaking of the
prospective law against free lunch.
From taking one drink he soon grew
into the habit of taking several and
eventually he became what is common
ly termed topper Take away the in
centve and you begin the cure. Do
away with the free lunch and the
young man whose appetite for liquor is
growing will take his midday lunch in
a restaurant and drink tea. coffee, milk
or water. The bill undoubtedly should
be made law."-Chicago Chronicle.

Indian Traders Dream.

Among the famous Indian traders Of
the past was George Galphin, whose
trading station at Silver Bluff, S. c.,
was frequented by Indians from far
and near. IN Bench and Bar of South
Carolina a characteristic anecdote Is
related of Mr. Galphin and an Indian
chief. Chief Mogoloch, from beyond
the Savannah river, spent the night at
Mr.. Galphins. In the morning the In
dian said. ME dream last night" :"
"Ah," said Ga.phin, what did my red
brother dream? Me dream you give
me fine big rifle"-in Galpin's possess
sion at the time. The trader instantly
passed the rife to the chief, saying
IF you dreamed it, you must have It."
Next morning Galphin said to the
chief, Il dreamed last night" What
you dream" asked Mogoloch. Il
dreamed you gave me the Chickasaw
horse''-which the chief was then rid
ing. "If you dream um you must have
um," said the chief, and the horse was
straightway transferred to the trader.

O. D. HADSELL SENTIMENTAL
FORMER PAW PAW MAN ENDORSES 500
FOR MEMoRY's SAKE.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean,
Judge Batten was much amused over
the Endorsement he encountered on a
yesterday during the hearing of case.
The matter before the court was the es-
tate of the late Orlando ID. Hadsell. The
administrator held a number of notes
given to Hadsell during his life time by
Cora G.. King and William j. King for
various sums aggregating about s725.
The administrator desired the court to
pass upon the claim Of the note-givers
that they were entitled to credit for 1925
by reason of an Endorsement upon the
mortgage They were willing to pay the
balance. The Endorsement reads as fol-
flows:
FEB. %, 1S96.-On May l, 1898, nine
years interest, and principal OF within
mortgage will amount to over S512.
April 81, 1885-thirteen years ago to-
day-Cora came with me to Maplewood,
and after two and half years / left her
and returned to the city. From Nov. 27,
1881, to Nov. ID, 1S97-lacking only IL
days of being six years-she was good
and faithful to me and my interest, and
/ shall never forget it. How well | re-
member the day we moved to Maplewood!
How pretty she looked in her red poke
bonnet! How young and strongl How
honest and truel Since all these happy
days our paths have run apart, and we
have seldom met. And it is for these
memories give her this $500. Let her
think of the gift when am gone, never
to come back. o. D."
The endorsement was shown to be in
the hand writing of the late Mr.. Hadsell
and the claim of the debtors was allowed.

The true northerner., 1899-11-01

lie chaplain of the first California regi-
ment, who is just back from the Philip
pines, has been here to give the presi-
dent the result OF his observations. he
says that while there will be sort OF
guerilla warfare for sometime to come,
the worst of the insurrection is over, the
rebellion being confined To the Tagal
tribe entirely. The scene OF conflict has
not extended more than fifty miles or so
from Manila, because that was the limit
of the region that the insurgents inhabit.
To abandon the struggle at this stage, and
leave the islands and peaceful natives to
the mercy of the Tagals, would be an alb
solute act of inhumanity. At present
800 Catholic priests are suffering impris-
onment, and at the commencement of
the rebellion fifty were put to death.
The destruction of the church property
was the work of the insurgents, not OF
American soldiers. The rebels had vio-
lated every rule of civilized warfare and
were not capable OF self government.
Father McKinnon attributed the contin-
uance of the rebellion to the effect of the
anti-expansion movement In the United
states. lie has a very high opinion OF
General Otis, and declares the asper-
sions ON his conduct of the campaign To
be unjust.
Treasury officials have been studying
with great interest the recent stringent
conditions in the New York money mar
ket, with view to devising the best
method of permanent relief. Some small
assistance was rendered 10y the govern
ment through the advance payments OF
the September and October Interest on
government bonds, but the conditions
which have caused the stringency Were
not removed. In his recent tour OF the
North west with President Mckinley
Secretary Gage had an opportunity to
see close at hand the great agricultural
industries that at this season of the year
make such great demands on the money
centers for money to market their pro-
ducts. His conclusion was that the
agricultural interest would be greatly
benefited by an extension of bank note
currency, which he thinks would prove
elastic In his forthcoming annual re-
port he will probably urge the exper-
fence of the New York bankers this fall
as showing the need for modifying leg
islation, and will emphasize some of the
recommendations in this line made in
his last report.

To Take Our Census.

The general scheme of taking the
census is about the same in all coun-
tries. Our own bill provides for one
director, 800 supervisors, and one emu
merator for every 1000 inhabitants.
The director and the supervisors are
appointed by the president The di-
rector. though under the immediate
direction OF the secretary of the In
terror, is the head of census Office
created for the time necessary for his
work. His salary, according to the
twelfth census bill, is only $1,000 per
annum. The salary Of the 1890 direct
or was $4,000. Why the new bill gives
the 1900 director smaller salary for
more work is not known.
The supervisors are apportiOned
among the various states and terrific
ries, and take their orders from the di-
rector. Each supervisor controls a
district. He separates his district into
subdivisions, or blocks of 1000 persons
each. and appoints an enumerator for
each subdivision. With Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Philippines included in
tut ioOo CtHSuo' fO,oOO thuhitih'oi y
will be needed. Each numeratOr is al
lowed a maximum of So day. This
will mean about S24O,OOO day for 80
days, or a cost of perhaps $1,OO0,000
Just for the men who will count the
people and apply the inquisitorial pro-
cess. The bill provides for everybody
in the census Office, from the director
to the char woman. There is an as
slstant director at $1,000, five chief
statisticians at $1,000 each, one chief
clerk at $4,000, one stepographer at
50, 500, 40 clerks averaging $1,000 each,
an indefinite number of clerks at $720
each, a captain of the watch at $40,
and a number of helpers classed as
skilled laborers and unskilled laborers,
the first at $40O and the latter at $24O
each. The total of these figures shows
that the home office of the census-the
headquarters-will cost about 100000
per annum. For the purpose of start
ing this Office congress has placed at
the disposal Of the secretary Of the in
terror the sum of 100000. The whole
cost of taking the census of 1890 was
6,400,000. The census OF 1900, how
ever, will cost fully twice as much
for there are more questions to ask
and more people to answer, and IA
much greater area to cover-Leslie's

Washington Letter.

(From the NoTtherner's Correspondent.l
Washington, d. c., Oct. 31-Russia
has at last agreed to submit to arbitra
tion the claims of the United States for
redress for three sealing vessels seized
off the coast of Siberia, within what Rus
sia has claimed were her territorial
waters. The damages claimed amount to
S150,O0O, the largest item being on ac-
count of the sufferings of the American
officers and crew while under arrest. A
protocol between the two govern
ments has been drawn up, and the
final formalities are expected to be
concluded next month. In order to
secure a speedy settlement, there will be
but one arbitrator, celebrated Dutch
jurist named DR.. Asser, who took a
prominent part in the Hague conference.
The vessels when seized were about
three miles from the Siberian coast, and
the question at issue is whether terri
torial waters extend to the old limit of
one league from the coast as claimed
by the United States, or as far as a can
non shot can travel as claimed by Rus
sia. The league limit came into use
when that was the furthest distance that
a shot could travel, but Russia claims
that the distance was not limited to the
power of ordnance at that time
Although the temporary agreement
respecting the Alaska boundary shuts
Canada out from tidewater, she has not
given up her hopes of securing a port
of her own. Her last proposition is that
the boundary line be settled by arbtra-
tion under conditions similar to the Ven
ezuela case, 80 years occupancy by either
claimant to establish title, but that as
condition precedent to arbitration Ska
quay and Dyea are to be conceded to the
United States without further claim, il
Canada receives Pyramid harbor. 1t is
not possible to accurately forecast the
view that will be taken of this latest
proposition by our state department, but
it has been previously held that Canada
has no more right to Pyramid Harbor
than she has to Skaguay or Dyea. 1t is
also considered that should Canada OBJ
tain a port on tidewater, it might be
turned into a powerful naval station.
which would menace American interests
in case of trouble at any future time.
Meantime, whatever may be the out
come of this new proposition, the tenn
porary boundary will continue in force,
and Canada will remain shut off from
the sea.

The true northerner., 1899-11-01

To criticize the action of a popuhst
board of supervisors that advertises for
bids for public work and then accepts the
highest bid instead of the lowest, is, from
a populistic standpoint, "a public insult. "
'The greatest number OF the people
could be reached by using the two pa
pers." please substitute "populists' for
'people') A still greater number OF
people could have been reached by in
creasing the price so as to get the pro-
ceedings in three papers, instead OF two
or, for that matter, by paying a suffi-
ciently large price, all the papers in the
county might have published the mat
ter: and this would have been equally
'in the lineo of economy and common
sense" Is this another public insult?

principal industries of the islands, there
being $4,000 cigarmakers there, while

that none of the islanders had

The Rev. Charles M Sheldon, who
answers the question, ''Is Christianity
Practical in Worldly Affairs?" in the
November Ladies' Home Journal, does
not regard "In His Steps" as the best of
the several books he has written and
published. The reading public, however,
does not agree with him, and its verdict
is accepted. 1t is commonly supposed
that "In His Steps" netted its author
very large sum, but such is not the case.
1t was copyrighted in this country only,
so the author receives no royalty from
England, where it had the largest sale.
In this country Mr.. Sheldon sought to
get his book on the market so as to sell it
at low price in order that it would have
wide circulation. This was his sole con-
sideration, otherwise he would have re-
ceived in royalties an independent for

Exactly. This is as the Northerner
has heretofore claimed and is no revela-
lation. In view of such a state of facts, ii
is the more difficult to see how the board
of supervisors could award the printing
of the proceedings to the Courier at SO
cents per page when the Northerner's bid
was but 70 cents, unless it was done on
the mere score of partisan favoritism.
