2 THE B U———— REED 0N THE HOUSE FIGAT, The .Inconsistent Couras of tho | Democratic Memboara, LIKE THE PROVERBIAL CELT. YAgin" the Governmont When it Proposed the New Rales and Now They Are Dying for Them, The Majority Shall Govarn WastINGTON, Feb, 1.-Speakor Reed today made to the representative of tae As sociated press the following statement con- corning the republican position 1n the pres eat general controversy : “Mr, Carlisle was entirely right when wnid in substance that the decision of the house that a quorum was constituted to do business when the majority of the house was present, would change from the foundation the method of doing business. Tt certainly will do so, for it will enablo the majority elected by the people to rule by their own votes and not by the sufferance of the minority, The rule of the majority isat the very buso of our government. If it bo not the true rule our faith is vain and weare yot in our sins. Look at the practical works ing of the othoer doctrine. Tho republicans have a majority of scven but they hava only three over a quorum, One hundred aud sixty-e s our number, 105 18 a quorum. It wo are to furaish tho quorum— the whole demogratic party sit- ing idly by in their seats, but not present, dumb and silent when business 18 to be transacted, Lut vocal when it is to be obetructed, then there can e but threo republicans absent on penalty of the stop- page of public business. Now let us seehow that works. We arc allowed but three absentecs, Rockwell is sick, 1t would en- danger his hife to come. Wilbur is iu the same condition. Browne is too sick to be able to be there all the time. Caswell's wife was dying. Another member must be with his wife for reasons somewhat similar. Just about this pumber of members will at all times be sick or incapacitated. These may get well, but others will fall sick in their turn. There is then one quorum, according to Carlisle's fdea, gono entirely, gone to pieces, though even after all fraud be deducted the people had founa for the republicans by spven ma- Jority. All this time while wo aro keeping in the house other men hardly less sick 140 ‘members sit silent in their scats “Is it possiblo that the United States is paying these gentlemen §13 a aay without even the poor privilege of counting their t forms! Alr. Carlislo says there is no sdent for the decision of “the house, | have personally seen and heard him furnish atundred. Ahundred times I have heard him declare that the number for and against such a Wil was eigh for and twenty against, muthematically less than a quors and yet declare the bill p: then sign the bill, thereby certifying under the most solomn sanction of his oath of oftico that the bill had properly and con~ stitutionally passed the house. How could ho have done this if his doctrine is true’ that o quorum must vote, underst day after day. Carlislo in my presence has declared that such a bill had votes for and against it, when by his own count as speaker loss - than @ quorum was presen yot immediately declared it and has signed it, thus furmishing-the on vroof the president could have that it vassed. How could this be except on the plam ground that it a quorum did not vote the presence of a quorum was cnough. But this matter does pot need argument. In Carlisio’'s own state, in _democratic Teones- see. in democratic New York, in democratic Ohio, in Massachusetts and in the courts everywhere, as you may sce by Butter. worth's speech, the doctrine just upheld by the house is the law of the land, and it ought to be if good zovernment is not to per- ish from the face of the earth. Nota ruling has been mude in the house to suppress fili- bustering, which has not the full sanction of parliamentary law. That men should resist only shows how ingrained the wrong course has become and how mec- essary the remedy. What is the house trying to do! Why, to perform its highest function, that of deeding the right of a member to s seat. Until 1852 rio man ever dared to filibuster against such a case. No man cught to be allowed to do it today, yet every duy three hours are wasted in approving the journal when five minutes would be ample. ~ These threo hours belong to the public busine: People do not understaud that every wanton roll call cousumes threc-quarters of an hour. When we first came here the ob- structionists declared they would die in the lnst diteh against any rules they did not ap prove of and now they are wanting to die [\ Eathe parians ot T rmopylae in defense of the be- cause we don't force rules on them. If there could be fewer deaths at Thermopylae and more business in the house the country would be better off. “It is timeo- democratic leaders like Mr, Carlisle have long since ceased to participate in the defiance of good government, but they should now muke themselves heard afiirmatively on the sice of ordor.” sl e N ANOTHER DEADLOC he liberties of their country, Applicants for Warden of the Fort Madison ren Waiting, Des MoNEs, la., Feb, 2.—(Speoial to Tar Bk —Siuce deadlocks became in fashion n this yicinivy the lezislature concluded that it ‘would give the candidates for warden of the Fort Madison penitentiary a chunce at one, So when the joiut caucus ot republican mem- bers of the house and senate was called ballot after ballot was taken with no result, and the eandidates were compelled to sit on tho anxious seat for another week, Next Tuesday night there will be anotber joint caucus and if any candidate can secure a majority of the votes he can end the sus- penso for the rest. Theroe are three leading candidates for this position, Mr. Jack Town send, the prosent deputy warden; Sneriff Jarvis of Bremer county and ex-Wardon MoMillan of Marshalltown. The last named served three terms as warden six years ago, being the immediate predecessor of the in- cumbent,, Ho made a very good officor, but has liard - work now to show why bo should be eivon auother term whon so many rvod fellows have never Lad a chence. Sher- ff Jarvis 1s from Waverly, the home of Sen- ator Hanchett. 'The latter is an aoti-pro- hibition republican whom some of the mem- bers think it is wise to cultivate. e is urg- ing bis friend Jarvis, who was his deputy at the tme he (Hanchett) was sherff of Bremer county. Jarvis (s said to be a good (heriff and a terrar to desperadoes. His friends think that he would make a good warden. ‘The present deputy warden, Mr, Townsend, Is probably the best qualified for the place of any who have been mentioned. e has grown up in the prison, having on- tored it us a Hu"d some twelve or fourteen years ago and risen by promotion throvgh 'eack grade. of the service to the vank of deputy warden. He is still a young man. But he has an old ‘head on his shoulders. He is a man of nerve and cooluess, @8 was shown a year or two B0 whon hie shot dead a negro convict wno tried to Kill him and escape. He seems to be & general tuvorite, and if Jurvis 1sn’t nomi- d It Sedns quite probable that he will ve. ‘There is anothor candidate who hasu't ahown much llrdnfi‘b 80 far. at is Captam H. M.

There is considerable intorest caused in this last deadlock and a strong effort will be made to break it next Weduesday night. There has not been for many years so much contest for the place us now. 1t vays $2,000 salary and furnishes & home for the wurden ve- ides.

AMBITIOUS DES MOINES. ‘The people of this city are interested in having one bill J;mod by the legisluture, and when that is thay wouldn't feel very bad if the legislature adjourned with- out doing much 0. That bill is for the aunexation of the suburbs of Des Moinos. Tho city is hedged in on every sde with suburban additions in adjoining towns, which 81op tho city's growth, and_provent it from receiving credit for much population th properly belongs to it. Soversl thousaud people who call themselves residents of Les oines live in the suburbs, and are parated from the city proper, only by an imaginary lino. ‘The men do business in the city and sicep just over the line, consequent ly they cannot be counted by the census ns residents of Des Moincs. At first it was thought best to try the plan of voluntary an- nexation, having each suburb come in by its own vote. Hut there are so many suburbs that the process would be long and tedious, embarrassed as it would be by the inevitablo kickers, so the other plan of annexation by act of legislature will bo tried. Tho law provides that whenover a city is checked in 1ts growth by adjoining towns it may annex them, A bill has been prepared by rep. resontatives of the commercial exchange, which will be submitted as soon as the lag- lature is ready for business. It extends city limits two and one-hall miles in each direction, provides for redistricting the city by wards, wipes out the presont city government, arranges fora new election and gives the city a chanco to start in with a clean score, Ono of the main objections urged by the suburbs against annexation has been that they would have to suffer from the old city hall ring, that has been piling up debis and adwministering the offices of the city in a very unsatisfactory way, to put it mildly. But this objection " is removed by the bill. Just as soon a8 the house organ se8 for businoss this bill will be presented. re will probably bo no objection to its passage, as it is entirely non-partisan, and it will go into effect at once. That will enable the city to huve a good house cleaniug this spring and be in good condition for the cen- sus taker this summer. PILING UP, The suits of grain shippe Towa against the Chicago & Northwestern railrond are piling up. Thoy aggrogate now nearly 80,000 in the amounts demanded as over oharges. The shippers claim that tho railrond gave Nebraska shippers better terms, and gave shippers in this stato who did not hiave to make a junction point better rates, and they want the difference refunded to them. 10 northwestorn PURE VINEGAR, An effort is to be made to have tue legisla- ture pass o law compelling vinegar to bo branded to show 1ts quality, The borticul- tural socioty is quoted as the party behind this movoment. The society thinks the farmer who raises good apples. for cider vin- egar pecds protoction. It is claimed that n great deal of vinegar is being sold in_this state for cider vinegar that is not made from apples at al, but from corn or acids. This product can be put on the market, it is claimed, at a cost of 50 conts a barrel. So the poor farmer who tries to make an honest articlo of cider vinegar i8 at a_yreat disad- vantage. It is proposod to have a legal standard established for vinegar the same ns for oil or butter, and have it branded so that all aduiterated articles will have to be known as such and not masquerade as *‘pure cuder vinegar.” S THE BOGUS ARIZONA WINE DEALL City Auditor Winram of Kansas City Brings Suit for Libel KAxsas Ciry, Mo., Jan. 2—-As a rosult of the bogus Arizona wino ‘deal, in which Will- iam J. Browster of Baltimore claimed to have been defrauded out of $10,000 by Johu E. Bull and Frank Pine, the notorious con fideace man, City Auditor Winram, who was said to have introduced Bull ana Pine w0 Brewster, has begun suit against Brewster for libel, claiming $30,000 damages. Ho charges that October 4 Brewster said to IKenneth McDeweese that he (Brewster) had been swindled and defrauded of $10,000 in cash ana his note for $6,000 by John E. Bull and I'rank Pine, and that be would not give 1 cent for additional testimony to con- nect the plainuff (Winrdim) with said trausaction, and that he would soon have this plaintift in the pen- itentiary for his connection with said swin dle. And Winram further charzes that Oc. tober 3, 1880, Hrowster uttered the following slanderous words ngainst him: ““That he (Brewster) had been swindied out of £10,000 in cash and a note for §6,000 by John 1. Bull and Frank Pine, and that there was no pos- sible chauce for tnis plaintiff to get out of it; that he certainly could counect this plaintiff with such swindling transactions; that he (tho defendant) and another witness had been in_Baltimore, Md., before the grond jury and that this plaintiff, the said John E. Bull and Frank Pine, had by the grand jury in Bultinore been indictea for participation i said swindle, thereby intending and meaning that he, the said Winram, had pars ticipated in swindling the defendant out of the sums stated.” S AT NEW ELECIRIC DYNAMOS, Lmmportant Discoverie: By a Johns Hopkins Protessor, MORE, Md., IF'eb. 2.—Prol. Henry W. towland of the Johus Hopkins university has devised several new electric dynamos, whieh are now to be seen at work in the large dynamo room of the physical labora- tory. The design is to obtain aa eficient machine to produce a current in & most eco- nomical manuer. Itis believed that these machioes, which look very different from the ordinary dynamo, wiil be able to do so, and they ure now being tested. 'The bureau of electrical measurements hLas been en- gaged this week in making valuable experi- monts to test the efficiency of the *con- vorters.” In a large basin, protected from the air by woolen covering the converter is im- mersed, being inclosed in & water jacket. Thermometers measure-the temperature and amount of water that runs through the jacket.” Thus it can be calculated how much of a current goes Lo waste in the converter. ‘I'he amount of work the electric curreat is able to do atter coming from the converter is able to do after coming from the converter is also measured. It is estimated that only 10 or 12 per cent of the current strength is lost i the couverter. e A Northwestern Romance. SearTLE, Wash,, Feb, 2.—News received here today 1s t the effect that David M. Drumheller has arrived in Spokane Falls with his bride. This culminates an interest- ing romance. The bride was Nellie G. Powell, daughter of the lute President Powell of the University of Washington. When the great gold-spike celebration of the Northern Pacitic railroad took place in Scattle, Nellie Powell was selected to give the address of welcome to Henry Villard. She capuyated the whole Viltard family, und wheu her fatier died she moved, with her mother, 1o New York. and was therefore a coustant visitor in the Villard household and pursued her studies in German with Miss olen Villard. About o year ago she re- turned to Washington, and while teaching school at Spokane Falls she wmet D, M. Drumbeller, the millionaire banker, stock- wan and capitalist. He loved her, but she wus engaged Lo 8 young student in Yale theological school and was loath to discard b, Sbe finally consented, but lsnin re- lented two days before the wedding day sad fled v California. Sickness overtook her there, and she wrote to Mr. Drumheller. He hastened to her, and they were married in the justices' court at Sauta Cruz, o the pres- ence only of strangers. o Mlinois Morigage KForeclosures, SpriNGriesD, IiL., Feb, 2.—~The state bu- reau of labor statistics is beginning an in- quiry to supplement its late report on ‘the mortgaged indebtedness of the state, and Monday next will send out three men to work the counties for this purpose. It will deal with threo special features—first, the statistics of foreciosures of mortgages, showing their number aod amount as com- pared with the number snd amount of exist- ing morigages: second, 8 record of Iudg- wents rendered as » pr:}aer feature of the vecorded indebtedness of the people; and third, the record of lands sold during the year.

It will supple- ment the report on mortgages aud make the complelest set of stutistics upon these gues- 41008 you collected in the country. THE CAPITAL OF MONTANA. Holena Now Eatering Upon an Era of Prosperity. FORMERLY LAST CHANCE GULCH, Now the Main Streot of a Great City Lin-a with Beautiful Business Buildings — A Distributing Yoint for Trade. Helena is a Hum HzLeNA, Mont., Fob. 1.—]Special to Tae Ber |—The coustitution of Montana re- quires that Montana shall bo the capital until 1800, when a permanent location shall bo made by the votes of tho poople. There remans but little to romind one of the aspects of the place a quarter of a cen- v 8go. 1In fact tho only thing which sug- gesta that period is the Chinese quarter, in the upper ond of the town, where thero are still to be seen many of the original huts, the citizens of which are certainly not su- perior to the original inhabilants. The principal street now crooks and turns along what was then known as “Last Chance gulch,” which was the repository of the gold dust washed down from the mountains rising 1,000 or 1,500 feet above the city. Every cup full of soil and gravel in this long, tor- tuous and busy street has been washed over and over again, From this httle valley some $10,000,000 worth of gold has been taken, The treasure is by no means ox- hausted yet. Wnerever cellar are dug, or sewers laid, the sparkling ore is found, often in considerable quantities. One man has a tract of land near the depot, keevs Chinamen at work shovelling over the stones and earth, which are then replaced, and chieap buildings then erected; and it is said that he is getting a goodly sum of money as a roturn for his persevance. Although placer mining is a thing of the past, Helena 18 far more prosperous today than was “Last Chance” gulch twenty years ago. It has become, and will still more be- come the entrevot for supplies forull Mon- tana. Her four national banks have more money on deposit and in reserve, iu propor- tion to the populution, than those of any other city in the United States, With all its thrift and: all its possessions, however, He- lena is conservative when it comes to specu- lation in dirt. There has never been an undaue inflation of the real estate market very many of the old scttiers still hold on to their possessions, They encour- age immigration, they boast'of the growth of the city, yet real estate can be had at reasonable prices. 1t one wishes for a taste of fancy prices in real estate he must go down to Great Falls, a hundred miles north- east of hero on the Missouri river, where is a town of 2,000 inhabitants, and choice inside property is quoted at_from $200 Lo $100 per front jfoot, with an illimitable expanse in every direction. 1t 1s said that no man has ever lost _dollar by investment in Helena ground. The city has a steady growth and shows year by year marked and permanent improvement. ‘The crooked gulch now known as Main street, is building up sab- stantially and beautifully. There are balf a hundrea buildings on this stroet which are substant:al and preteutious structures. Thero are hulf o score now nearing complotion, from five to seven storles in heignt, which compare in materials, architecture and con- vonience with the bank buildings of Omaha. There are three or four churches that have a metropolitan look, with preachers who oc- cuvy no second place when cowpared with those of Omaha and Lincoln. There is a great number of handsome and expensive residences. The county court house in which the legislature aud state officers are accommodated, is a large and handsome buildivg, & state house 1 miviature, With the location of the capital permanently fixed at Helena in 1800, a couple of million dollars can be expended on a state house, in keeping with the population ava wealth 'cf’ the ten- year-old state, ‘The city now contains about thirty thous- and jnhabitants, which will grow to 700,000 by the year 1000. The population must con- tinuaily and steedily increase. There fs more money in Helena than the developmeat of the country and the demand of business now requires. The big mives are adding_to the permauent wealth year by year. But the rapidly growing country will in a few years absorb it ail. “Statehood already be- gins 10 have a conservative and wholesome effect on the public morals. The city is be- ginning to outgrow the ‘‘tough” period. The gambling halls, each of which bears the in- scription “liconsed gambling” conspiciously over its door, will in o few years be things of the past, or be relegated to comparative obscurity. The saloons which are always open, nights and Sundays, will by and by vield to a better and more peruasive public pinion, and respect the time of rest and of worship. Among the most progressive and yet con- scrvative institutions of the city, the Mon- tana club ranks prominent. Any eastern city might be proud of such an organization. Several bundred of the leading bankers and business and professional men belong to this club. It wiil this year put up a bulding for its own exclusive use, as Denver has done, one of the finest in the city. [u place of the old *‘granite block" in which the house holds its sessions, & seven story building will be built, in which a flae modern theater will find place. & During last year, Colonel Broadwater com- pleted one of the tinest hotels in the country. The special feature of the establishment, which 1s three miles ouv of the aity, is a mammoth bath house one hundred and twen- ty by three hundred feet, and covered with #luss, which is supplied with warm water from' hot springs some miles away in the mountains, They throw 1,000,000 gallons daily over a natural fall forty feet in height. ‘The temperature of the water, originally 160 degrees, 1t sufiiciently warm for use when 1t veaches the reservoir, The grounds, which are covered with native trees and are forty acres in extent, are illuminated at night by electric lights enclosed 1n colored globes. ‘T'he building is of Moorish architecture, the interior is finished in hard woods. In the surrounding grove are flower beds, fountains and winding walks, ‘The Northero Pacific road runs through the eity, with branches radiating to the min- ing camps. 'The Montana Central, which ruas from Butte to Helena over & route fully @s picturesque as that of the Ponnsylvania west of Altoona, passes on down the Mis- souri to Great I'alls through a beautiful re- gion ana on throvgh Dakola to St. Paul. This road will within two years have ité line completed to Spokane Falls, Wash., and on 1 @ point on the Pacific const. Tt is said that the provosed route will effect o saving in distance botween here and the coast of some three hundred miles, T'he law library at Helena has over five ‘thousand volumes, and the miscellaneous library over three thousand volumes. The historical society of the state is gathering a collection of great value. The librarian is busy securing the adventures of pioneers, written r. ports of the fur traders, and hap- penings at the military posts, and has copred @ number of diaries written by persons who crossed the plains sud mountains in early or ays. ‘While Helena is nou distinctly a mining camp, yet mome of the principal wmines aro within a few miles of the city. At Whitlock is a group which have produced £5,000,000, At Marysviile is the great Drum Summon which has paid in dividends some $3,000,000, The Jay Gould mine has within three years paid $400,000 in dividends. The secretary of the board of trade informs me that aggrogate dividends of more than $3,000,000 are paid annually by #iues tribu- tary to Helena, snd that a wonthly paymeut of §750,000 10 workmen finds its way into cir- culation in varicus ways. To the north of the city is & mgoificeat rauge of farming lands, on which enormous crops can be raised by irrigation. One man raised 11,000 bushels of grain from 200 acres ; auother 5,500 bushels from 100 acres, and 800 bushels of potatoes were grown lust season from oue aud & quarter acros, I'armers who turn their wttention to hay, butter and cheese are highly prosperous.

The assessed valuation of Helena property is $15.000,000, and of Lewis and Clark couaty 15,500,000, which is one- OMAHA DAILY Bl sixth of the entire property valuation of the state. 5By 1 take the follfWi ¢ incident from the col- umns of a local”jokfenal: A few days ago Mrs. MoAdow, Whelof the owners of the spoiled Horse mige, drove mto town in a buck-board waghp,* She halted her team in front of ono of fia banks, and sent ir for a couple of portors, gying that sho had a lit- tle parcel which ghe wished to deposit.

By Informing om Some Counterfoit- ©ts He Seoares Min Releass. SeriNcrirL, 11, Feb, 2.—Governor Fifer yesterday ‘granted a pardon to Albert S, Cronk, now serving a torm in tho peniten tiary at Joliet on conviction in the Cook county criminal court for perjury. The pardon was earnestly recommended by the states attorney who prosecuted and the judge who presided. These recommonda- tions are supported by & long and minute statement from United Statos District At- wrney Ewing of Chicago to the effeot that Cronk hud furnished him the information on which a large and dangerous gang of coun- terfeitera in northern Iilinois was brokon up. Ewing says that Cronk had no guiity knowl- edgo of the covnterfeiting, and as the ins formation furnished by him_could not have beon obtained otherwise and was indispensa- blo o the United States ip the counterfeit- ine cases reforred to he thinks the petitioner fairly entitled to executive clemoncy. There Wus also an understanding between the stato attorney and the United States district attor- ney that if Cronk would furnish the informa. tion in his possession and the counterfeiters were sent to the penitentiary every effort would be exerted to scoure & pardon for him. e Bl WORKING THE RAILROADS, How Sccond Class cured kirst Class Accommodations, ST. PAUL, Minn,, Feb. 2.—Previous to the inauguration of the reduced first and second class rates to Chicago, when the quotations were $11.50 and §) respectively, conductors on a number of the lines weze instructed to colloct §2.50 from pussengers riding ou sieep- ing cars who had second class tickets, The $2.50 was then the difference botween the two ciasses. Since the reduction of the fares betwoen St. Paul and Minneapohis and Chicago the order referred to has not beon changed, and as a consequence passengers have been enabled 1n some instances to buy asecond class ticket for $4, pay $2.50 addis tional to tho conductor, and_enjoy the ad- vantages of firat class fccommodations for $0.50, as compared with $), the present first cluss rate, General Pussenger Agent Ken- yon of the Burliugton road, in order to provent passongers from work. ing this plan on the trains of this line, has idsued & notico to conductors 1o collect the difference between the first and second class fares when parties desired to rido _in slceping cars on second class tickots, Mr. -Kenyon will notify the other lines of his aétion in tho matter and in the event that the ptanis being utilized by patrons of other' lines he will insist upon such roads following his example in instruct- ing conductors. In counection wlth' the above a case is on rocord where a passenger baid # for o sec- ond class ticketto Chicago via oneof the lines, §2.50 to the. cbnductor for the differ- enco vetwoen the two rates of fare, nud sat in the same seat with aman who had paid $) for the same privileges. The former boasted to the latter of the manner in which he worked the scheme, and stated that the agent from whomi he bought the ticket told him what to doin order to secure u first class passage for §.50, The passenger who paid the full first class fare reported the case to a friend who ivus connected with the passenger departient of onoof tho lines, and the plar wds ‘at once brought to the notice of the railway officials. e REMOVED FROM THE BENOCH. Passongers Seo- An Atnbama Judgo Dismissed for Drunkenness, MoxTGOMERY, Ala.,' Feb. 2 — Several months ago impeachnment proceedings were instituted againsty R. R. Savago, judge of provate of Cherokee county, on information addressed by the grand jury of the county to the supreme court, and filed by the attor- noy genernl, charging tho defondant with habitual drunkenness, which is one of the causes specified in the constivution as a basis of impeachment, and Judge Savage was tried in the supreme court. - Ablo attorneys ap- peared on both sides and the case has ex- cited unusual interost.

But by the men who are howliug now a deal was made to get me to run for police judge in order to draw me away from the ward, and who plodged themselves to support me. And what did they do at the primaries? They sold me out and the result was 1 only re- ceived 100 votes, and 100 of theso I got in my own ward, ‘hoy also claim thoy made a great fight for me at the primaries for the office which I have just resigned; that I received eight, 8ix votes and soventy of them were men who worked with me and on the night of the pri- maries worked until 7 o'clock in the evening and voted for me without going home. They also claim that they clected me by a hand- some majority. Well, the whole democratic ticket was elected, and I had forty majority over the weakest man on the ticket. [did not know I was going to rosign until Friday night, when I closed a doal with the parties I am going into business with in Omaha. and Saturday [ told over twenty loading demo- crats about my resignation and one of them went on the bond of my successor, Respoct- fully, Hexny McKeNDRY, Broke an Arm Roy Dgnnis, the little son of Mr. S.

HUFSTITLER'S (LECTUR A Discussion of *‘Legal Sunsio: Relatea 1o the Liguor Teafilo," Captain Hufstitler of Sterling, Iil., ad- dressed a large congregation ut the First Methodist church last evening, on the sub- ject of “‘Legal Suasion as Related to the Laquor Trafiic.” Captain Hufstitler is un el- oquent speaker, aud is thoroughly familiar with the subject of nis lecture. He com- menced bis addr by stating that he was an ardent prohibitionist and believea in the probibition of the liguor trattic. He also stated that his reasons were his belief in God, the truth and the people, He believed that the people were open to counviction and folt confldent that when they learned the truth they would seo the advisability of pro- hibition, The speaker compared the lquor trafiic to the well known story of the suake which ottacked a nest of young oagles during the absence of the motber bird, und was in turn attacked and destroyed by the mother, He said aniwals had the courage to destroy the enemy which destroyed their young, but man was the only creature which permitted such destruction to go on without raising a finger to stop it. Keferring to the legality of the prohibition of the liquor traflic, the speaker took the ground that the peoplo have the constitu~ tional right to probubiv anything which is im- moral. *‘There are )aws 1n this state which prohibit the killing of gawe at certaiu seu- sous of the year, but do you ever hear & cry about restraining the sportsman of his lib- erty " He said it was claimed if a law wa$ passed prohibiting the trafiic in liquor it would be violated every day, aud he wmswered tuis argument by saying that the law mgaiust borse siealing 18 violated every day, but who would think of licensiog & man to steal horsest The speaker said he was opposed o arrel ing men for gotting druok, The saloon- keeper was licensed to sell the whisky which made the man drunk, consequently he was lawfully drunk. An illustration was oited showiog that the fines imposed upon drunkards are, in ninety- nine cases out of & hundred, paid by the wives and children of the mon. *In this eity,” said lecturer, *‘the schools ure run by Lcense mouey, Itisa flne thing for & young man OF & young Womau to suy they got their education &t the expense of the wretch who took the money from his -urva ‘wife and babe snd bought winsky with it.’ The address was coucluded with a recital of the dowafall of John Hauck of Des Moines, whio was 4 prosperous business mau, but became a yictim of whisky and lost all his property. One night in a drunken rage he lalled his favorite dsughter, a clild of seven years, with @ club and kicked her brams out. For_this he was sentonced to the penitentiary, o denied ail knowledgo of his orime and died of wiilful starvatio calling on his child and God to forgive by During the recital of this pathotic sto there was scarcely a dry eye in the hous Captain * Hufstitier told it in a most interest g _manner aud impressed his hearers greatly.

Tho record of 1350 shows that though the Omaha wheel club has not done as well on the rond as was expected early in the season, it has covered soveral more miles thun dur- ing the previous year. Socially tho club has been a grand success, but the boys will have 10 do a great deal more leg work the coming season if they want to cote any whero near the road records made by some of tho eastern wheelmen.

The captain cortainly did his duty by calling club runs, but somehow they wero not very weil attended. Here are a fow fucts that y be intere ing. The club officers durmng 1380 were President, §. N.

The club will in tho spring move into larger quarters, not yet decided upon, but probably on Sherman uvenue. as the pr t rooms are getting too cramped for such u large membership, and Lhe way upy are coming in prospects are that the rolls will swell to 100 members during 139, The league of American wheelmen is rep- resented by Chief Consul Clarke, with Jawes Josephi as local consul, and has a snug hile balance in the bank, to be used toward putting up sigaboards on the ro:ds leadi out of Omaha for the benefit of touring wheelmen, It is conjectared whether this was written to arouse the joulousy of the Omaha wheel club: “We would like to kuow whether there is a bicy lub in the epuntry that can stow the financial strengtt cqual to the Marylund club of Baltimore.
