CONGRESS in the haste of It's
closing huurs invested President
Mckinley with more autocratic
power than any chief magistrate
of this country ever possessed.
To him has been committed, from
now until congress meets in De
cember, the decision of what our
relations with Cuba shall be. He
can, in his discretion, withdraw
from it the military force that now
governs it, or he can add to that
force. In Porto Rico his word
will be law. He is master in the
Philippines; and in the settle
ment of the Chinese question his
word, in the councils of the Euro
pean nations, is decisive. Next
to the car of all the Russians, he
exercises more power than does
any man on earth. Indeed it is q
question whether the czar is ia it
with him. Capitalization of power
is becoming general in the United
States under the republican party,
while in Europe kings are losing
their power.

CROP OUTLOOK GOOD.

Spring estimates as to pros
poets for good or bad season
for wheat are not as rule reli-
able, and as often as not are wide
of the mark, but this year there
seems to be indications concerning
which it is possible to speak with
some degree of certainty. That
the winter will soon break up is
evident, and with the snowfall ex-
perienced since tho beginning of
the year there is no doubt but that
the ground is we'll watered. Last
fall, before the wipter frost set in,
the soil was very damp, and at
frequent intervals there have been
falls of snow which have been
frozen hard, and when melted will
be sufficient to thoroughly CON-
plete the saturation uf the earth.
The wheat will therefore be afford
ed a good start. Farmers report
that the ground il everywhere in
good condition to hold the seed
Tho fact alse that wheat now rules
about 10 cents higher than it did
1t this time last year will also
influence many farmers to greatly
increase their acreage. The out
look for fax 10 excellent, and in
this county the acreage will be
fully double that of last year. If
the old rule holds good that year
of high prices works for increased
production in the following year,
there will be q heavy fax crsp.

At few minutes past nine
o'clock last night fire broke out in
the big general store of Mathisen
& Speckmann at Dresden and
only with the most stubborn re-
sistanoe of the townspeople were
the flames prevented from devour-
ing the drug store of I. Dawson,
separated by a vacant lot from the
building in which the FIRE started.
Aessrs Mathisen & Speckmann
had only few minutes previous
closed their place of business for
the night and the first indication
of the store being afire wos dis.
covered by son Of Live, lyman
Cameron, who in passing by on
the sidewalk noticed smoke coming
out beneath the front doors. 1t
was Dresden's first experience
with the fire demon and the peo-
pie turned out en- mass, fighting
heroically; this fact alone being
responsible for the checking of
the flames without greater loss of
property. Much Of the dry goods
stock, some fixtures, and the post
office property were gotten out be
fore the fire drove back the
fighters. The firm carried $500
insurance which covers about half
their loss. Both Messrs. Mathisen
& Speckmann are in the city to
day snd express their intention Of
rebuilding at once. The cause of
the fire is something they are
unable to explain. It appears
to have started in the warehouse
at the rear.

AN ANT1-rREAT1NG LAW.

The temperance movement
takes different direc tions in differ
ent localities. After twenty years
of experimenting with absolute
prohibition, Kansas has conclud-
ed that prohibition by law is a
failure and the temperance senti-
ment having become soured, the
lawless methods of Carrie Nation
ism are the result. In New
Jersey the movement has taken
the direction of an anti-treating
law. In Russia, q country cursed
beyond expression wish drunken
ness, the government las assumed
control of all intoxioants, none
being sold except by government
agents and for cash
Absolute prohibition of the
manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors is dream that never
can be realized. The drinking
habit may be reduced to a mini
mum by the influences of society,
just az crime is reduced to a mini.
mum in some localities. The
best way then is to place restric'
tons about the sale of intoxicants
which will minimize the degrad
ing influence. The army cantee1
was an institution that made fol
temperance, but the fantic pro
hibition workers refused t.
recognize the fact. An anti-treat
ing law would go far to reduc'
the quantity drunk. It is the re
turn courtesy of the e ,od fellow
that adds glass too much. Few
men care to drink alone and still
fewer III ever get drunk by
themselves. Young men who
make a practice Of drinking to ex
cess go, like wolves, in packs
one will not so on Il spree alone.
The government of Russit
recognizing that the peasantr,
were being ruined by the nationa
drink, vodka; conceived the idea O
cutting off the two most poten
factors making for the drink habit
the open saloon where intoxicauts
are sold over the bar and drunk
on the premises, and the credit ex.
tended to customers. According.
ly, as above stated, the state is
taking charge of the manufacture
ana sale Of intoxicants, no credit
being extended and all liquors
being sod in sealed bottles.
With government control of al
intoxicants, with the open saloo1
abolished and an antl-treating law
a condition as near to prohibition
as will ever be possible, will b.
reached.
! Common sense education will il
time reduce the habisual drunkarl
