MRS. NATION DEFEATED N
HER FIRST Topeka RAID.
WELDING .'LADIES,, NET BY
A STRONG FORCE
But NOT TILL MANY NOSES BLEED
AMI EYES WERE BLACKED
IN THE FIGHT.

Topeka, Kans., February AIRS.
Nation, this afternoon, met the first
defeat in her saloon-smashing career.
Later. at police station, she laugh
ingly declared that it was by no means
her Waterloo. and she would soon
again be at her chosen work.
With six women, each armed with
a new hatchet, she had started out at
8 O'Clock to wreck a restaurant in East
Sixth street, that also dispensed
liquors. Before she could WELD her
hatchet she was disarmed and a free
for all struggle between restaurant
people and wreckers was begun.
The greatest excitement prevailed
for a time, during which numerous
eyes were blacked and many noses
bled.
Mrs. Nation, herself, unable to ac-
complish anything, shouted orders to
her followers to reopen the onslaught,
but the Ratchet brigade had been
stampeded, and not another hand was
raised against the obnoxious restau-
rant.
Mrs. Nation was led away to the sta
ton on a charge of disturbing the
peace, and was followed by a jeering
crowd.
She took her determination to raid
the place very suddenly. A group of
women had gathered in the United
Presbyterian church to plan for a raid
tomorrow morning, when Mrs. Ma
ton decided to go out Immediately
and show how she could smash a
joint"

gade' in the United Presbyterian

rudderless, without chart or compass,
and he left it with its path as definite
and certain as that of the fixed stars
in their courses, and invested with all
the powers necessary to a great ma
ton.
Concluding, the speaker said: "He
indeed completed the circle of a good
mans duty as husband and father. as
citizen and soldier, as statesman and
jurisS; and he left to all the coming
generations of his countrymen an in
spring example of the happy union of
wisdom and virtue and patriotism. We
are in a far greater degree than he
foresaw, a powerful prosperous and
united people, Loyalty accepting his
construction of the fundamental law
as the source of the national life, and
still generating the constitution in his
own measured words, as a sacred in
strument; and We have lived to see
diffused among all classes of our coun-
trymen such generous measures of po-
litical equality, of social freedom, and
of physical comfort and well being as
was never dreamed of on the earth be-
fore"

SLAP AT LOBBYISTS.

Mr.. Laughlin arose during the after
noon session and read section 100 of
Chapter IS of the Code relating to the
exclusion of professional Hobbies from
the floor of the House. He said there
was a continual stream OF lobbiests
about the desks of the members wor-
rylng them about various matters and
he demanded that the law be enforced.
The remarks created a mild sensa-
ton for a few moments, then the
Speaker instructed the sergeant-at-

House resumed consideration of the

THE HOTEL LICENSE TAX.

House bill 149 to repeal the license
tax on hotels came up on its third
reading and was savagely attacked by
Mr.. Reynolds. He said hotel keeping
was a public business, and was there
fore particularly a proper object for a
license tax. In addition, to abolish
this license tax would cut down the
revenue not only Of the State but Of
towns and counties. This Bill wou,d

THE SOUTH CAN CARE FOR ITSELF.

Virginia newspaper recently warned the
Southern people against the seductions of President
Mckinley" asserting that the Southerner's gen
erous temperament has more than once made him the
victim OF imposters in business and politics"
We think our Virginia contemporary is un-
necessarily agitated. The Southern people from the
organization of this republic have been noted for
their habit of doing their political thinking for them
selves. and fighting for their political notions and
convictions without regard to opposition or wheed
ling from any other part of the Union. Almost
wholly Of the old American stock. they have never
been deficient in reliance and self fassertion but
have rather been distinguished by the pertinacity
with which they sought to shape and control the
political policy of the, federal government.
They have been so keen in their political per-
ceptions SO much alive to their own interests, as
they imagined them to be, and SO resentfu of inter
ference from outside, that they have always been the
last people in the world to be played as suckers :"
The generous temperament oe the Southerner"
has not made him hitherto promising victim of
imposters in politics and business from abroad and
at this time more especially Southern managers of
great enterprises demonstrating very practically
their ability to hold their own in competition or as
sociation with the shrewdest "shrewdness" of the
North.

LET US FIGHT THE DUST.

The Tucson system of allaying dust is not
cessful. We do not give the streets enough water
and we do not give it in the right way and at the
right time.
1t is ndisputable that one of the chief draw
backs of Tucson is dust. We who reside here know
that the dust is not unwholesome while cheerfully
admitting that it is internally unpleasant. Some
people who can feel comfortable when the thermo
meter is O5 degrees in the shade 25 degrees below
zero, will swear or shrek and run into doorways
when they see dust cloud approaching.
Is there not way to abate the nuisance, or
modify it? We think there is, To begin with we
too economical of water, and it is almost useless
to water few streets and leave the rest alone All
the streets should be watered and it should be done
at night. Putting water few streets at midday
is simple waste. The sun picks it up in vapor in a
few minutes 1t does not penetrate into the gravel
or dust And the streets that watered almost
instantly raided by the dust from the streets that are
not watered The effort should be not to pet certain
streets, but to conquer the dust.
The proper, and most efficient method the
method that would produce most satisfactory results
and that the wisdom of experience elsewhere sug-
gests is to thoroughly drench all the streets of the
city twice during the night If the streets are we'll
watered, say, between and at night and between
and in the morning. the ground will absorb the
moisture and the dust will become hardened, and
the streets will be in good condition during the day
We feel sure that there is no man in the city more
interested in the welfare of Tucson and the comfort
of its people than Mayor Schumacher, and we appeal
to him to adopt the suggestions we have just made
regarding the abatement of the dust
The stranger visiting Tucson when the dust is
on a jamboree, throws up his hands and fees from
the town in disgust. Economy is the chiefest virtue
OF prudent administrator but sometimes very much
economy can be made disastrous. We believe that
economy in putting water the streets of Tucson is
not wise. 1t would be much more prudent to use
more water and try and conquer the dust And sure
ly it is almost aspure waste of water to wet only
few Streets and do that much in the day time. Let
all the streets of the town be thoroughly drenched
twice night and Tucson will not be handicapped by
the name of dusty city.

CITIZENSHIP IN PORTO RICO.

The admission of native resident of Porto Rico
to practice before the Supreme Court of the United
States, is incident which goes farther to compl-
cate the already mudded condition of our relations
with that island.
So far the Porto Rcans are men without
country. We have taken them from Spain, but we
have not given them standing in this republic. Off
cially, they citizens of Porto Rco-which means
nothing But only citizens of the United States are
eligible to practice before the Supreme Court and
here is Porto Rcan eligible to be admitted to that
privilege.
The courtwhich admitted this "citizen' of Porto
Rico to the privileges of citizen of the United
States has under consideration the question of the
status of all his people 1t is to decide, when it
gets ready, whether Porto Rico is under the Consti-
tuition or outside Has it decided the question by

favored nations relations among the countries of the
western hemisphere.
In its incipiency the movement was generally en-
couraged by the South American republics and for
time it looked as if commercial wall running along
the entire length of the two coast lines was among
the probabilities. But heavy emigration from Eu-
rope, and particularly from Germany,4o lands below
the Equator interrupted this happy anticipation,
since the stream Of foreigners carried with it pro-
nounced trade instinct and disposition to open
munication with the countries whence it started.
This greatly facilitated by the tradesmen of the
fatherland, who were equally eager to find markets
beyond seas. So with ready customers and ready
sellers there was little difficulty in weakening the
foundations for the proposed commercial wall.
At the time this agency was at work the war with
Spain began, and while the South American coun-
tries had ceased their allegiance to the mother coun-
try and professed frendness to the United States,
there still remained the ties Of blood and more or
less imposing anti United States sentiment develop
ed. The sincerity of our motives toward Cuba was
questioned, and in many quarters no concealment
made of the fear that by acquiring the "Pear of
the Antilles the United States would be given
foothold for aggressons farther South So these
two elements have stood in the way of the serene and
speedy fufllment of Mr.. Blaines idea
The question of metropolitan arbitration will
come up of yore, but there is not in South Amer
ica the fertile ground for the cultivation of remedies
for either external internal difficulties. 1t APP
pears to be part of the South American temperament
either to seek trouble with neighbor or foster in
ernal strife under the leadership of would be dict
ator, But if arbitration actually possible and
il the United States could successfully lay down the
plan for the boodless settlement of future controyer-
sies it would be long step in the direction of in
viting respect and winning commercial advantages
on the broad gauge of reciprocity.
1t is to be hoped that the Congress- which will
assemble in October next at the capital of our neigh
boring republic will develop spirit of international
harmony and mark the beginning of the wane of the
perennial Latin-American revolution and border
quarrels. This accomplished the fruits of its labors
will be long remembered by the better class of peo-
pie in those eruptve republics.
