Temperance Rows and Comm nt.

Soma people fondly imagined when
they voted for the granting OF saloon
licenses at Willmar last spring that
they we're "doing up' the blind. pig
fraternity ard substituting = more
respectable class of liquor vendors.
The editor OF the TRIBUNE has con-
tended that the blind-pig fraternity
as a whole was a. part and parcel of
the liquor element and was encouraged
in it's illegal business by those who
would be directly benefited by having
the no-license policy reversed. That
we were correct in our opinion has
been proven by the fact that all the
fellows that became involved in trouble
for illegally selling liquor as we'll as
those under a suspicion by reason of
having paid U. s. revenue for so do
ing were ''cared for'' by the saloon
men when the saloons were opened.
Careful inquiry will prove that this is
true. Two notable exceptions were
made in the cases of a couple of pro-
fessional piggers whom the liquor
element of Willmar considered as in
truders and who concluded to leave
town because of the harsh treatment
they were receiving from the 'authori-
ties. There is not one of the resi- dent
piggers whose faces have not smiled
from behind the bar OF q licensed sa-
loon since last spring. In one or
two cases the proprietors have seen
fit to dispense with their services for
reasons best known to themselves.
In the case of the Shanneberger sa-
loon, it is now being run by old Ben
Waterman outright. It seems that
he advanced the money for Shame
berger's license, but that the COMPETE
ton in saloon row proved too much
for the latter, and that he took an in
definite leave of absence with what
money he could borrow from his
friends. In the meantime Ben runs
the saloon, and il. the responsible
head of the: same. The question
whether . license is transferable or
not does not seem to bother him at all.
We are not writing this because we
care who dish out drinks in the sa-
looms. The harmful effect of the stuff
is not affected by the hand that sells
it. It Is simply for the purpose of
bringing home to the minds Of some
of the voters the fact that their votes
tor the granting Of liquor licenses
proved to be votes <of confidence for
the very crowd for whom they before
had evidenced such disgust. 81 ~. r:

More About the
Chinese.

Ut is safe estimate to concede
that at least $4,000 Chinese are
at present living in the United
States, yet how many of this num-
ber volunteered their services in
the late Spanish war?
For the past forty-five years the peo-
pie of the Pacific coast states have had
dealings with the Chinaman in every
conceivable manner, and the concen-
sus of opinion today OH the coast is
stronger than ever in demanding their
unconditional exclusion. Who is more
qualified to recommend legislation
than the people whose homes depend
on the outcome of such legislation?
The whole opposition to the exclu-
sion bill comes from the following
sources: Tie ship owners engaged in
Oriental traffic, the railroad corpora
ton who are forever wanting some
thing for nothing. and last, but not
least. the sentimental. theorizing old
senators from New England, whose
knowledge of the Chinese is derived

of stamps, curios, mascots or charms
sinks into insignifcance when COM
pared with the exhilirating effects of a
still hunt after the derivation of word
long lost in the musty archives of by
gone age. The deeper its origin is sunk
in oblivion, the greater becomes the
curiosity. The end in view is sought
with an avidity and growing persist
ency as obscurity multiplies itself. For
all this labor, the faddist is compen-
sated, once the ultimatum is obtained
1t usually is great surprise and there
in lies its charm.
For instance, the different origins of
the words tobacco and nicotine. 1t is a
conservative opinion that induces the
supposition that the derivative of the
former will lead to long and weary
chase, and yet its use vocally and as a
luxury or habit, would seem to render
it in every sense a familiar spirit. Trac-
ing it up through an Indian interpret
er, the faddist will find himself blocked
even there; and he will go further vet
before he ascertains the fact that the
Seminoies and neighboring tribes OF
the southeastern Atlantic border used
at very early day the stobago" The
latter was long, hollow, slender stem
from which forked end expanded to
the width of an inch at the extremity.
The narcotic was gathered, and its
brown leaves ignited and blown, until
small smudge fire lay burning in the
center of the surrounding council. The
single end was thrust into the mass
the fork inserted in the nostriIs and
deep inhalations drawn by each war
rior in turn. From this source the word
has its basis.
Nicotine, its principle, is derived and
named from DR.. Nicot. noted French
savant of the last century, who discov.
cred it. That unfortunate, but brilliant
beau of the sixteenth century, Sir Wal.
ter Raleigh. introduced it to an effete
civilization.
In following up the chain of facts
that leads to the derivation of word,
much additional information is CLEANED
on the subject. The faddist's knowl-
edge ceases to become superficial and
is truly erudite as he learns every thing
of something, and not something OF
everything. \. M.

Ashore in Barcelona.

~ F late the papers have con-
tanned accounts of strikes
~ in Barcelona, SPAIN There
never was time that those
people were notion strike. The citizens
of Barcelona put me in mind of the
waters at the foot of Niagara; they are
in perpetual state of agitation. They
are the most unreliable people in the
world, from a sailors point of view, for
they will not allow an English speak
ing sailor ashore in their town after 10
o'clock at night. If they catch one in
the streets after 10 O'Clock they fine him
twenty francs, and if he has not the
money to pay the fine he has to work
it out on the streets at two francs a
day.
You will ask why this is thus. Well,
it's this way: After the battle of Ira
falgar Bay crew of English man-of-
wars men painted the town of BARGE
Iona, and the people have never for
given the English-speaking races for it.
The fool Spaniards could not discrimi-
nate between an English and an Ameri-
can man-of-war's man. They may be
able to pick cut an American since
'9S, at least l should think they ought
to. Well, this failing of theirs to dis
criminate gave us men-of-war's men
quite a lot of fun when we called there
The ship wouldn't give general liberty
that is for day, "a Eours-but they
would give special liberty, from 100 to
$50 p. 10 !, to forty or fifty men at q
time You see the officers were onto
that fatal 10 p. m. and gave us thirty
minutes grace.
But some Of the fun or fight-loving
sailors would not have it that way
They didn't like to be punished for
what an EnglIshman did one hundred
years ago. so twenty or thirty of them
would get in a cafe within block of
the quay where the ship was moored
and wait for the 10 o'clock gun to fire
That was the signal for all Englishmen
to be on board their ships-shat is sail
ors, for the officers had a special permit
from the city to stay on shore. Those
men in the cafe would have a couple
more rounds at the bar and then rush
out and line up across the street, and
away for the ship.
They were inyineib!e. Everything
went down before them. They had
only the police to contend with, as the
citizens would just shout and laugh.
When we reached the ship We would
turn and face the mob and guard our
rear while we filed on board in sea-
manlike manner; then we would COM
pare bruises and see who was caught,
for we wouldn't get through scott free
all the time. In the morning we would
take up collection and pay the fine
of those who we're caught. And such
is fun in the city of Barcelona, the
