Isaac Stephenson, the candidate
of Sen. La Toilette, has been elect
ed U. S. senator from Wisconsin to
fill out the unexpired term of Sen.
Spooner. The new senator is over
seventy years of age, is rated as a
millionaire, and won his fortune
while operating as one of the big
lumber magnates. He asked for
the position for two years only, in
order to round out a long life with
distinguished honors, and does not
expect to be able to render any
material service to his state.

Gov. Hughes of New York, is
showing that he is good general
as we'll as good lawyer. His first
effort at reform was an attempt to
remove the old commissioner of in
surance. This aroused the opposi
tion of the members of the old or
ganization in the assembly, and
ten of them joined with the demo-
Gratis and defeated the movement.
The governor didn't surrender nor
he didn't compromise. He just
took little lecture tour through
the state and explained the con-
dition to the people. This brought
such a flood OF protesting letters
to the opposition that they soon
came to the conclusion that the
governor was right in his recon.
mendations, and they have inform
ed him that there will be no opposi-
ton to his public utilities bill and
several other measures of reform
that he was advocating.
The result is forcibla illustra-
tion of the power of public senti-
ment. Reforms are not brought
about by individuals but by the un-
tied effort Of the people. Gov.
Hughes is strong and resourceful,
but he would have failed if public
sentiment had not come to his as.
sistance. Our great reformers are
creatures Of public sentiment and
the individual has done buta small
part of his duty when he casts his
ballot.

ON HonnE COUNTY,. s D, THURSDAY, NAY 2sS nU1lI

Judge Artman, OF the Boone
county, Ind) circuit court, who re-
Gently caused quite q sensation by
ruling that a state has no constitu.
tional right to enact q license law
for the sale Of intoxicating liquors
gave an address the other day ex-
planning his views on the subject.
He says:
Judge Artman quoted numerous
authorities and decisions againts
the liquor traffic from many differ
emit states and gave a history of
of temperance legislation. He
showed that while it was the pro-
vince Of the Legislature to enact
statutes, it was for the courts to
decide upon their validity, and
said that courts, in reversing for
msr decisions concerning the liquor
tra&c, were merely progressing
with public sentiment.
The judge held that the state is.
simply a large corporation for the
promotion Of good citizenship, and
that whatever fails in the purpose
Of the State or of United States
can not but be unconstitutional.
The State, he said, is instituted to
insure the safety, peace, order we'll
being of the people, and asked how
this result could be possible with a
license statute !; that the saloon busi-
ness which, in itself, is danger to
public and private morals, to the
public peace and good order of So
ciety, can not be harmonized with
these constitutional provisions.
The position of Judge Artman is
very good from purely moral
standpoint but unfortunately in
managing the liquor traffic it is
still necessary to use methods of
expediency, and this fact the Judge
does not recognize.
The only trouble with Judge Art
mans position is that he uses
the terms ''liquor traffic" and "sa-
loon" as synonymous terms. He
assumes that the refusal to license
saloons would result in abolishing
the liquor traffic, an assumption
which experience In this state has
shown to be far from the truth.
In communities where majority
sentiment is in favor of the traffic
to refuse to grant license too often
results in the indiscriminate and
uncontrolled sale, condition more
deplorable than the regulated sa-
loon. AS soon as majority of
the people can be convinced that
the use of Intoxicating liquors as a
beverage is detrimental to society
and to the individual who uses it
the question Of licensing saloons
viii! be solved, and to produce that
conviction is the great work to be
accomplished by temperance work
ers.

Washington. Jan. 25.-The Admin
istration is looking to the establish
ment OF a modern immigration sta
ton at New Orleans as one way OF
relieving the congestion at the i'm
migration stations at New York city.
Secretary Straus today forwarded
to Speaker Cannon a letter in which
both he and the immigration Com
missioner-Gen urge favorable
consideration on the McEnery bill
providing for the establishment OF an
immigration station at New orleans
upon a site to be donated to the
Government free OF cost, and ap-
Tropriating $4,000 for the erection
OF the proposed structures.
"The chief objection Of immigra-
ton" said Secretary Straus I'm his
communication to Speaker Cannon
"arises not so much because OF the
number. but because OF congestion
resulting to a considerable degree
from the steamers landing their pas
sengers in New York and other North
Atlantic ports. If the immigrants
could be more readily distributed
throughout the Southern and Wes-
tern portions OF the country, they
would more readily find remunera-
tive employment"

MOST RAILROADS
OWNCOALLANDS.

Canadian West has been so often
repeated that Il is commonly be-
lieved. This. however. Is a peren-
nial humbug perpetrated by the Ca
madam immigration officials. whose
claim that 100000 American citizens
have emigrated into West Canada in
the last 10 years will not bear scru-
tiny. BY including under the head
ing from the United States" all who
have entered Canada OF whatever
nationality. the figures have been
greatly expanded. but there is high
authority for the statement that
from 1897. when the Canadian move
ment began. only 62.717 citizens of
the United States. OF both sexes and
all ages. have been officially reported
as entering the Canadian West: and
as many OF these departed. IL is
now estimted that there are in all
Canada, west OF Lake Superior no
more than 10000 male persons who
were originally American citizens.
These are highly valued in the com
munities where they are settled.
hence the desire OF the immigration
officials to attract more by exaggerat-
ing the number. AS the same au-
thority observes, where the eagles
flock there must be good prey" and
the argument has its effect both in
the United States and in Great Brit
ian. 1t is to be noted. however, that
during the whole OF last year 1885,
900 immigrants entered Canada.
When the number is contrasted with
the 1.1O0,7OO foreigners who sought
permanent homes I'm the United
States during the last fiscal year, we
can afford to view with complacency
the rapid development OF the Cana
dian states to the westward and the
slight drain from our own North
west that Is a result OF that growth.

Washington. Jan. 25.-President
Roosevelt will have an Opportunity
Of putting to the test those sena-

dying affection for the negro. He
has long wanted to make some ap-
pointments In the North, where
meritorious negroes have been avail
able for government service. but
always reasons have been advanc-
Cd why negroes should not get i'm
portant places. and generally they
have been side-tracked.
The attentitude which has been
taken by a number OF senators over
the Brownsville order would indicate
that the time is ripe for giving some
thoroughly equipped negroes impor-
tant Federal jobs.
Just where these Appointments
are to be made Is not known. but
IL Is said by those who share the
presidents confidence that he will
make several appointments in the
North which he long has had in
mind.

contemplated is for Ohio Foraker's
