Government Liquor Dispensatories in South Carolina. How They Work. We ask our prohibition friends nud others at have criticised the Peoples' a of Minnesota for advocating the nationaliza tion of the liquor traffic, to read the following account of how the plan is working in South Caro lina. Review of Reviews is reli able. Bu we have plenty of evi dence from other sources, that "th people of South Carolina, outside of the old liquor interest and certain political circles, have become almost unanimous in the opinion at the system is a splendid success Another South Caroliua ques tion deserves a ord in passing. I seems to have been taken for granted throughout the north at the South Carolina Stat Dispeusary system is a dismal failure. Th people of South Carolina, outside of the old li quor interest and certain politi cal circles, have become almost unanimous in the opinion that the system is a splendid success. Governor Evans, when in the legislature, was the chief promot er of the dispensary law, and now at he is in the executive chaii he is quite as staunch in main taining and enforcing the system as was Governor Tillman. Rail way road-masters and other men familiar with conditions through out the state, are enthusiastic in their account of the good effect* at the law has already pro duced. Drunkenness and disord er have decreased to a remark able extent and whereas the negro laborer was formerly ac customed to spend his week's earnings iu carousing on Satur day or Sunday, he is now spend ing more upon his family, or else saving his money to buy land. The ten or twelve state dispen saries in the city of Charleston, which have taken the place of scores of hundreds of saloons, are as openly conducted and as or derly as a 113' drug store, and are absolutely closed at sundown. Th effect upon the quiet and order of the city has been too transforming to admit of an^ denial. Reports from country towns the state are to the effect at the closing of the old bar-rooms iu favor of the new dispensaries has been at tended with results at have converted almost every good citizen to a belief in the present system. In view of the wildly circulated reports in disparage men of the South Carolina dis pensaries, these facts ought to be given a wide publicity.—From "Th Progress of the World,'* May Review of Reviews. The Tribune offers thi8 week a Hvmposium of thoughts as valu able and instructive as unique in its get up, to-wit: the answers to the Political Puzzle of T. J. Ajidersoi), of Belgrade, Minne t«ota. There is food for thought in all these answers. We'lack space to comment as fully on 'these as we should like to,' but some few features stand out ith such prominence as to at tract special notice. 1st. The unanimity of the re form sentiment in this section. '•With possibly a couple of excep tions every answer includes the 3aBie essential ideas though ex pressed in different language. 2nd. The recognition of dual character of needed reform, to wit: Individual reformation in habits, mental and moral, and public reformation hi govern ment so as to secure to honest and intelligent labor its just de sert. The answers as a whole reflect credit on the Tribunereaders and ••shows *them to tae thoroughly a&rfe ifcoUie gi»eat responsibilities of ^rttiasws of representative government. TThei»eis ^evidently n~jfflm ma iatSIleetiial ioroe be%m4 %b reform movement, K|pf*fea*^^ that is*^s^#to^qtieT^^eitrture/ ICTr.llficleTSOli deserves "thanks from us for eliciting these ex pressions of opinion and the readers of Willms^^^ne im conditions: ^J~T If the editor should venture an opinion as to the greatest evil underlying all the others it would be expressed by the vyord "Ignorance." Ba ignorance im plies aud presupposes the absence of independent thinking not only on political matters, but on the effect of personal habits, moral, mental and material. The effective remedy is to get people to think for themselves, to study causes and effects unin fluenced as much as possible by old custom* and party prejudice. This has been the great burden of every true leformer, human or divine," in the worlds history. Aud every defender of class privi leges opposes this, from Pharo' down to our Ameiiiaii privleged classes. Shall we ever see the day at the common people will think for themselves, and uphold a system of government at shall meet out to e\ery citizen what he truly deserves? "I is the recognized constitu tional duty of government to furnish for its citizens a circulat ing medium adequate for their needs and convenient for their use A. B. E Comptroller of the Currency Pag 307, Rep. of the Sec of tb Treasury, 189 2 The above proposition enun ciated a Republican ti easury official ought to be good Repub lican doctrine, not to speaU about common sense. Th Peoples Part stands squarely on at ground to-day. AlTthe Peoples Part demands is -'a circulating medium*' for the people "ad equate for their needs and con venient for their use Butwheie is the Republican party now'* Way out of such doctrine and down the at of the gold trust. Now the Republican lead ers claim at it is not the func tion of government to furnish money for the people. There never was such a transformation of any part in the history of the world as the ltepubhcrn party on the mom question If the rank aud file of the Republican a it can thus hood -w ink aw a 10111 the most essential doctriues of the partly by the action of a few prominent leaders, popular and farce. )olitical government is a roaring If the people in this country a not intelligence enough to understand the essen tial principles of their party, but simply jump blindly as some bell weather jumps, let us quit talk ing about popular government. A few years hence will show whether popular government is a reality, or simply an odious system of oligaichv. The editor of the Churubusco, Ind., Truth ba^s he has read "Coin'fc Financial School" and the terminal word should be Fool, at he issoiry lie read the book and wasted so much time at he might have profitably employed in placing croquet. The Trut editor is one of those bloated capitalists or he would not be so indicthely opposed to Coin's views on the financial question —(ircrseCity Times. Yes, Bro. Real irk we have one of the same st le of editors right here in Willmar Bu editors don't write these squibs them selves. They are written in New York by the "sound money league." at is what we are told, and we kno*»v at circulars were seut sonie time ago to coun try editors asking for space for their '•sound money locals. These New Yorkers think the peo ple out here don't know beans. Hence they send out such non sensical "locals watch for these **localfe" and you will see certain sheets full of them. Coin's Financial School should be termed Coin's Financial Fool, as it is a greater part misrepresen tations, and with such a forged basis goes into the waste basket with otherequally famousworks. —Willmar Argus. Now Uireh it is eas*y to make assertions, but it takes some knowledgcto back them up,even as it takes money to buv shoes. The authoi of Coin's Financial School has been a republican, and probably is now, unless Hazelton has expelled him from the G. O. So it is really none of our business to refer *to this matter. Yet we have read the book and Biich evidently hasn't, or he wouldn't have made the statement above.* Now we make this proposition, if Birch—and hem a call to his aid.Hazelto and Pennock—can find one single misrepresentation of a fact material to the question discussed we will give #hoes to shoeless children, and we will back either, like Birch did last winter. If the greater a of .the book is misrepresentations it must be easy^tp find one single statement. Now toe the a for shoes Birch, or a it at yon don't know what you are talking about as usual.

"Silver may be made legal tender for any amount but such a law would be a dead letter in the commercial world "—St. Paul Morning Call. Yes, any law of the United States would of course extend only within the jurisdiction of the nation. But •we are not making laws forth world but for our selves. And within our borders the law would be a mighty live one Th II S bondholders would take silver under free coin age, and be glad to get it.

Notional and private banks. 4th The use of money during election. JOHN GULDBKAMISERS. The first evil that the people are suffering with are the many pernic ious habits that too many are, so to say, slaves to. Among these habits are the use of intoxicating liquors, tobacco, tea and~ coffees, opium, morphine.and other narcotics* The article* cost immense sums of money and moreover tend ^tonweakeh and destroy the Auhian iface -The "use I of these narcotics ci-ea^te-innumerable 8 diseases and enormous sil ms are ex pended'to bhysioians aud nurses, for hospitals and medicines. Manj costly asylums must be built and maintained, and the cost and Buffer ing resulting from the above named causes are simply impossible to de scribe. The second is an avaricious greed for money, which creates money and aristocracy. The avaricious man uses every means in his power to en rich himsel, by the need of his poorer fellow men, and thus acts fully ac cording to the devil's maxims "jour necessity is my opportunity." The mental and bodily weaker will thus become the slaves of the powerful moneyed aristocracy. In no better way can this be expressed than by quoting the words of the apostle "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in desti action and perdition For the love of money is the root of all evil, which wiiile some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows 1 Tim. 6.9,10 Time would be too short if I should attempt to mention the many wrong decisions, murdeis, robberies, dishonest government officials, fraudulent elections, etc that follow as an immediate result from the above named 3 Too many do not try to lh and act according to the noble teach ings of Christianity In place'of lo\ we find hatred, for toleration perse cution, for fraternity enmity, and human commandments instead of commandments of God Hence the rich blessings of God that he has promised his people (Dent 28.12—14) 1 2 3 4 Johnson, Q,uam & Karwand, WILLMAR, MINNESOTA.
