WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 16.-The
Entire Minnesota delegation with the
exception Of John Lind voted today in
favor Of the rule which insures the
passage Of Cuban reciprocity legisla-
ton. Messrs. Stevens and Tawney are
given credit by the Republican nlern-
bers for lining UP the former insur-
gents, of which they were chiefs. The
rallying cry was Support the new
speaker" Mr.. Tawney has been telling
the former recalcitrants that this Is
now an administration policy and that
it is the first and only business Of the
special session, and all loyal party
men are bound to hold up the hands Of
Mr.. Cannon.
AS an additional resolution it was
urged that the rule cuts off opportunity
for amendments which the Democrats
might make use of to make a general
attack on the tariff. The rule Is urged
to be the only safe way of passing the
reciprocity bill and making sure that
the reciprocity legislation will be con-
fined to the lines laid down by the Re-
publican majority.
When it comes to calling the roll on
the final passage of the bill, which will
be a matter of formality as its passage
is insured by the caucus pledge Of the
Democrats to support it, some Repub-
licans may vote in the negative in or
der to preserve their records for con-
sistency. Walter E. Clark.

ritory and in repressing that insurrec-
ton, which is not even the result of a

Justice, Colombia appeals to the dignity
and honor Of the American senate and
people. -"Marroqufn."
"It is to be hoped that the petition
for justice which Colombia makes to
the American people will be favorably
received by sound public opinion

Senator Dietrich Is in Washington
and there was no attorney or other per-
son in Omaha tonight authorized to
make statement for him.
The last witness before the grand
jury was William Dutton, hardware
merchant of Hastings. According to
buttons testimony, Dutton acted as
intermediary in all the alleged trans
actions between the indicted men.
-Four other cases, said to be of a
similar nature are under investigation
by the grand jury. All are cases in
which postoftices and postmasters are
concerned.
The penalty for the offense charged
against Senator Dietrich is imprison-
ment for not more than two years, O.
fine of not more than $4,000 and per-
manent disqualification from holding
office under the United States.
Senator Dietrich was elected in 1900
to succeed Senator Allen. His term
expires on March 8. 1905.
Postmaster Fisher was formerly
mayor of Hastings and has been in Re-
publican politics in Nebraska for sew
eral years. Mr. Fisher tonight made
this statement:

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 16. = A
bill was introduced today by Senator
McCumber, of North Dakota, provid-
ing that the money which is raised by
the sale of public lands for irrigation
purposes shall be spent in the states
whose lands are sold and in propor-
ton to each states contribution. The
senator believes his state is not get
ting its share. North Dakota and Ore
gon have contributed by the sale Of
their lands half the sixteen million now
in hand, but it is proposed to spend
a paltry few hundred thousands in
North Dakota, 1t is claimed, the bulk
of the money going into Arizona, Col
orado and Nevada. This subject OF pro-
rating the irrigation fund among the
states was discussed when the act was
passed, and 1t is said by the secretary
Of the interior that there Is little
chance of any such amendment Of the
act at this time. Senator McCumber Is
a candidate for reelection TO the sem
ate a year from now, and II is hinted
here that he is making little political
capital. Walter e. Clark.

Open eyed visitors who travel far
andwide speak of the prevailing good
order and freedom from drunkenness
in our cities and villages. Editors on
one Of South Ravens daily papers
say that going home from ten o'clock
TO four each night for two years they
have seen no drunken men and have
met with no insult or moleStation.
Women can go about in safety at any
time. While in summer when the re-
sort population numbers many thous-
and, it is difficult to prevent more
drinking, but the absence of saloon is
always accompanied by better order.
During the saloon reign there were
three murders in South Haven. two
occurring in saloons, and of peculiarly
aggravated character. Since then
there has been but one and that not
due TO drink.
We have large numbers of young
men connected with our church young
peoples societies, numbering in South
Haven not less than 100.
The South Haven Rifles is an organ
ization Of about sixty and their ap-
pearance shows what young men can
be in a no saloon city. Nothing shows
so quickly on the face and in the man
ner than dissipation in drink.
In some Of our towns in saloon days
no Saturday was expected to pass
without free fight. Rows were CON-
mon. This n statement of fact. No
such conditions exist today.

TWELVE YEARS
Of No LICENSE

Under the state local option law
which makes the county the unit in
electing 10 have or not 10 have prohi-
bition, Van Buren, county in 1890 de-
cided by vote of 2599 to take its
place in the no license ranks. Since
then the question has been re-submit-
ter twice. and in 1897 the saloon was
defeated by the largest majority ever
reached. This fact Of itself shows
clearly the educated opinion of the
citizens, and is a clear argument in
favor of the law.
The question of license or no license
open saloon or prohibition, is now once
again submitted, and will be voted on
April 9Th. The following facts bear.
ing directly on the question at issue
are presented for the candid copsidera-
ton Of the voters.
The Present Situation.
There are no open saloons in the
county. IL is well known, however,
that certain of our only twenty-eight
drug stores have sold and sell liquor
and beer as a beverage in violation OF
law Prosecutions ending In convic-
lions have testified to the purpose and
successful effort 10 enforce the law
By those best acquainted with the
facts the charge that as much is sold
by drug stores as would be by saloons
is denied, while the vast difference be-
tween the two establishments ought
to be evident to all. The purpose of
this document is not so much to dwell
ON this already we'll ventilated topic,
as to present a series Of facts, testi-
monies and appeals which, taken to-
sether, form an entirely sufficient rea.
son for maintaining the present law.
