THE fermented juice of the grape is
working with all its old time vigor of fer­
mentation. on the peace and happiness
of our prohibition brethren. It lias al­
ways been olserved that when this fer­
menting began, bubbles and much
gaseous matter arose and passed into
ether. With no intent in the world to
exhibit the resounding foolishness of it
all, the South Dakota prohibitionists are
trying to prevent the use of fermented
wine in churches, to be drank as an af­
fectionate toast to the memory of Jesus
Christ. They have proposed this restric­
tion in the prohibitory la" which is soon
to be enacted.
Their position is logical and in full ac­
cord with the principles of prohibition,
but to the poor untutored savage, it ap­
pears strange that the ministers do not
see it. These preachers who show
that their creeds of worship are
highly sensitive to tne fumes of the fer­
mented juice of the sunny grape, would
be, naturally, the first to display rebel
lions feelings on being compelled to re­
frain from doing something they think
they should do freely and as a matter of
coarse. Comedy alone relieves the pain­
ful aspect of this infermity of human
nature which is thus brought before all
of us by our brethren of the cloth.
The right to sup the fermented article,
dear to their sensibilities and entwined
in their early spiritual obligations, is
suddenly snatched away and no com­
pensation allowed therefor, on the hard
ground of police regulations. At once a
violation of pious wrath arises, and the
claims of right to instruct others are de­
vastated by the failure to practice the
precepts.
AD Episcopal bishop of South Dakota
stands up in the dignity of his office and
proclaims that the edict of the church is
of higher authority than any common
prohibition statute, which excludes fer­
mented wine from church observances.
A Methodist elder, laboring for the same
cause, says with stern logic that "it is
just as wicked to give fermented wine at
the sacrament of the Lord's supper as it
is to treat a friend to adrink of wine in the
saloon." Another good bishop appears in
solemn protest to the unfcrmented brand
and adds with wonderful forgetfulness
of his supreme court ally, that such pro­
hibition is unconstitutional and that it
interferes with the rights of individuals
and religious privileges. Notwithstand­
ing the constitution guarantees freedom
to all, both religious and civil.
The tarseeing view of Archbishop Ire­
land is the most consistent of all the con­
flicting statements of our agitated
brethren. He says that such restric­
tions of the fermented wine means the
death knell of prohibition.
Many other ministers outside of South
Dakota are hostile to the extreme law
proposed, and declaim against its inter­
ference with rights of individuals as con­
nected with religion. They can not make
one class of individuals rights better or
more important than others, yet they do
not think of that.
Another Protestant says that a person's
convictions should be followed in this
matter. Another says it is a monstrous
imposition for the state to toucn the
rights of the church, or to interpret
them. Yet the rights of the church are
said to be no more sacred than the rights
of men who do not have any church, but
have the same love of exercising what­
ever rights they do possess.
Meanwhile, the gods on high Olympus
smile as they look down on the small and
rapid motions of U3 perplexed and war­
ring mortals and smile to each other
again as they quaff their tine elixir from
shining goblets.
THE stocks of wheat out of farmer's
hands, held in Minnesta and the two Da
kotas,is approximately 24,000,000 bushels.
It is about 5,000,000 bushels more than
the amount a year ago, that was held in
the same places. There is a disagree­
ment with respect to the size of stocks in
farmer's granaries. The general opinion
however, is that farmers have very little
more wheat on hand than last year at
this season. The country was then filled
up with high priced tlour that could not
be sold or exported, and to reduce the
stocks mills were shut down by general
agreement, to let the stocks reduce by
oonsumDtiod of them. That was a slow
and discouraging process, but there was
no other way out of it. The cost of flour
bad been too high to think of exporta­
tion, with the low price in importing
countries. Flour is not selling well now,
bat when did it at this setson of the year?
The situation is different from last year,
as the cost of Hour is little above export­
ing basis, and would be disposed of
through that channel, if heroic measures
were called for, instead of advertising
weakness by an agreement to cloae down
all around, like ayear ago.

SoctH DAKOTA
is reported by Governor
Mellette as having nineteen counties ibat
will need aid in getting seed wheat. The
governor is in Chicago bracing up the
financial credit of these counties for that
purpose. The money is to be secured if
possible on county bonds. St. Paul
banks are not inclined, it is said, to grasp
eagerly at these investments. Several
of the counties on the list have exceeded
their debt limit. How they will be pro­
vided with grain for seed is not stated.
The elevator companies will not advance
seed to individuals, as is proposed in
North Dakota, but will sell the seed at
cost to the counties. North Dakota's
credit as a Btate seems to be unquestion
ed anywhere, while the individual credit
of the citizens is certainly bettor than
that of the South Dakota farmers,
if the act ion of the elevator companies in
loaning seed grain be any indication.
IF Idaho territory is wise, she will not
dotf her condition of dependence on
Uncle Sam for the present. 1 he exper­
ience of some of the new states that have
seen their longed-for hopes of admis­
sion fulfilled, will not encourage the
other territories to work for the same
result. The Mormons are generally
ci edited with having a sub-stratum of
common business sagacity underlying
their peculiar social institutions, and
theii representatives are now before con
gress arguing from facts and data that
Idaho is not entitled to admission yet,
from simple inability to support a credi­
table state government. Now that the
fire-works are over, North Dakota is be­
ginning to look slightly aghast at tfae
burdens that loom up before her. The
headache always follows the undue ex
hilaration.
BASE BALL cranks will be interested to
learn that Judge O'Brien has decided
the suit of the New York base ball club
vs. J. M. Ward in favor of the Brother­
hood. In concluding bis decision Judge
O'Brien said: "While I think that this is
not a case in which a preliminary injunc­
tion should be granted, it is proper that
the rights of the parties should be de­
termined by a trial before the ball season
begins, and to that end I shall assist in
securing a speedy trial upon which a
final and deliberate judgment upon the
rights of the parties can be pronounced.
It is ordered accordingly." This is almost
death blow at the arrogant managers
who seem to regard base ball players as
mere chattels that can be bought and
sold like cattle.
ADVICES from Texas to the live stock
journals indicate that the state has been
well drained of steers three years old
and upwards. Those not already sent
to the shambles have been purchased of
the ranchmen and placed on feed, to be
marketed in the early spring. This again
indicates a lessened output of beef steers
next summer. Just what the decrease
will be is a debatable question and will
not be decided until the returns are in
next January. Many herd owners be­
lieve the falling off in shipments for 1890
will be as great as 15 per cent, while
others think 10 per cent a fair allowance.
Either of these figures represent such a
number as will assist materially in stim­
ulating the market.
SLEWING car companies are never
asleep when it it is necessary to avoid
paying taxes to the state through which
the cars run, and from which the com­
panies get rich and grow insolent. It
is said that the North Dakota legislative
excursionists had to pay $5 each for
berths to Grand Forks and return to the
hive of justice. It is not strange there­
fore to see a bill introduced promptly on
arrival home, which requires each mag­
nificent and profitable sleeping parlor to
pay a license of 8100 a year to do busi­
ness in the state. It ought to take a
force of Pinkertou detectives, who
nevei sleep, to keep this bill from pass
ng-
THOMPSON of Cass, does not doze on
and let the clumsy wheels of antiquated
legislation run over him. He is watch­
ing for opportunities to put some ideas
into tho statute book. During a recent
debate on a bill regulating the issuance
of marriage licenses, he moved to strike
out that portion of the bill declaring
that marriage is a civil or religious con­
tract. He did not believe that this was
just. The person should be allowed to
consider the marriage contract according
to the dictates of his own conscience.
The amendment prevailed, to the credit
of the liberal and diligent member from
Cass.
MOST of the bills that are presented to
congress and to Btate legislatures ought
to be beaten and annihilated forever but
the proposal of Mr. McKenna to discon­
tinue the coinage of the 91 and 83 gold
pieces and the nickel 3-cent piece is en­
tirely meritorious. It should have the
full support of congress and of the coun­
try. The only dollar piece that is fit for
circulation is the glorious silver dollar of
our fathers and the only nickel piece
that is worth keeping up is the convenient
5-cent piece. There should be no un­
necessary delay in converting Mr. Mc
Keana's bill into positive law.
PETSB P. LOMEN, an old, inoffensive
man who was in the saloon when the raid
on the Hatton whiskv joints, by a mis
gnided mob of female fanatics which took
place some days since, is expected to die
from the effects of a blow on the head,
dealt him by one of the women with a
hammer. The doctor in attendance says
the skull is fractnred and the patient
suffers from concussion of the brain.
Headers of history will ste in this inci­
dent the same spirit of fierce, conscience­
less intolerance which has characterized
all similar crazy movements of the ages.
SOUTH DAKOTA is feeling the sharp
spurs of Chicago newspaper vindictive
ness, in spreading broadcast reports of
destitution that does not exist. The same
indignation for the same reason prevails
in North Dakota. But the South Da
kota legislature resents her insult
promptly, by instructing her congres­
sional delegation to voto against tho
location of the worlds fair in Chicago,
while North Pi kota suninely sits by and
does nothing nf I kind, showing a lack­
luster spirit ums.ntiiy of the state. The
Alert has urged the justice of the very
retribution which the South Dakota
legislature is endeavoring to bring about.
THE Ohio Republican association
seems to be having along and one-sided
struggle with the obstreperous brass
band. On the occasion of the associa­
tion's reception of Senator Sherman last
fail, the band, without a moment's warn­
ing, played "Listen to My Tale of Woe."
A few weeks later, when Congresman
Butterworth returned from abroad, the
band played "The Campbell's are Com­
ing." This week, the Ohio republicans
in Washington held a social and the
band resorted to "McGinty." In the
future the Ohio Republican association
proposes to furnish its own in»sic.
THE bill requiring the county treas­
urer to deposit the funds in the bank
bidding the highest rate of interest, is a
bill that many think will endanger the
safety of the funds. A bank with small
capital can afford to bid higher for funds
to loan out to customers. Should disas­
ters come and bondsmen fail, the county
would run the risk of losing all, and be
oome a victim of its own cupidity.
IT is said that the low water which
prevailed during the seat-on of 1889, left
on the various stieams of the northwest
a large number of logs. It is estimated
that these amount to 120,000,000 feet on
the upper Mississippi, 100,000,000 on the
St. Croix, and 300,000,000 on the Chip­
pewa, and smaller amounts on the other
streams.
SLOWLT and surely the law is gather­
ing the necessary force to wipe out of
existence the expensive and dangerous
luxury of the grand jury system. The
governor will soon have to complete the
victory by signing the measure. The
bill, as passed by both houses, gives the
right to summon the jury into the des
cretion of the court.
THEBF. is a visionary aspect about leg­
islation that prohibits the formation of
trusts. The way to deal with trusts is to
arrange for the destruction of the profits
and the mushroom growth of the con­
cerns will hurt nobody. The house has
sensibly decided to indefinitely postpone
two measures that prohibited the for­
mation of trusts.
AMID all this talk of crop failuves it
is a pleasure to turn to Cape Cod, the
one spot which seems to have escaped
the ravages of the crop prophets. The
cranberry crop of Cape Cod is said to be
larger and more lucious than ever before.
IN view of the proceedings in the house
the past few days, it will be necessary for
Speaker Beed to note some additions to
his list of "H. H. Ks," which being in­
terpreted, is said to signify. H— 1 of a

CHURCH AND STATE.
The liitliMcrimlnnte Manner in which
the Two are Mingled In Hostile Ar­
ray Over the Sioux ({enervation
Quest OH.
Whatever may have been his motive,
no one will deny that Col. John H. King,
he of Chamberlain and Bapid City, has
worked as persistently and intelligently
for the opening of the Big Sioux reserva­
tion as anv other one man. With him
all other questions have dwindled into
insignilictnea in comparison therewith,
and no one knows more about this sub­
ject than he. A Sioux City, Iowa news­
paper man inserted his auger into the
somewhat loquacious colonel a few days
sin^e, and this is what flowed freely
forth:
Everybody in South Dakota is dis­
gusted with Bishop Hare. Months ago
he made us believe that he was favorable
to the openiug of the reservation, but we
caught him opposing he got mad
because General Crook, of the commis­
sion, did not open his counsels with the
Indians at Rosebud with prayer out of
the Episcopal prayer book. He requested
General Crook to do that, and General
Crook made reply that he was not out
there for any d—n nonsense. After this
Bishop Hare went to Rosebud ageucy
and talked to the Episcopalian Indians
there and induced every one of them to
reconsider and go back on their determi­
nation to sign the treaty. Senator
Pettigrew, however, induced Bishop Hare
to write a letter favoring the bill under
which the treaty was made, and with the
aid of that letter the Indians were in­
duced to sign, but he is now opposing
the treaty, and has filed a protest against
the issuing of the proclamation. He
wants to see the whole matter go back
to congress. But he will not succeed,
for Mr. Harrison will declare that reser­
vation open to settlers before long.
Upon this question of mixing church
and state affairs—the failure of the clergy
to "render unto Caesar the things that
are Caesar's"—the Sturgis, South Da­
kota, Record has some very pronounced
views. In closing a terrific Phillipic
against the tendency, said to be clearly
defined in South Dakota, it says:
The Episcopal church held the advan­
tage on the reservation for along term
of years, but finally the Catholics gained
ground. Then the others began to see
that the reservation was about as good a
place as Madagascar, and a pleasant little
fight commenced to see which denomi­
nation would rake the greatest number
of Indian bucks in out of the wet. The
Indian commissioner says that he has
seen in the struggle a potent factor in
delaying the opening of the reservation.
Proceedings of the City Council.
At the regular monthly meeting of the
city council held on the evening of Feb­
ruary 3rd, 1890, there were present all
members except Aldermen Driscoll and
Hewit. Clerk Blewett called the meet­
ing to order. Alderman Eager was
elected mayor pro tern.
Minutes of last regular and adjourned
meetings were read and approved.
A communication was read from Fair­
banks, Morse & Co. in regard to payment
of city warrants on water works account.
The clerk stated that he had answered
the letter and told them that the coun­
cil was making arrangements to pay
them.
Water works committee reported as
follows:
JAMESTOWN, N. D., Feb. 3,1890.

Clark, the resolution was adopted, there
being no vote cast against it.

ley, the clerk was instructed to post the

The city attorney, to whom was re­
ferred the police magistrate's report,, re­
ported as follows:
JAMESTOWN, January 7,1890.
To the Common Council, City of James­
town, N. D.
I beg to report the following as to the
fees of L. T. Hamilton, city justice:
That the same is correct in my opinion,
except item of commitment affidavit
and filing in case of City vs. Hotchkiss.
etc., and that he hue overcharged 25
cents also in case of City vs. Purchase,
the case of City vs. Say, where be
charges 83.45 in each case, or 96.90 in
all. These cases were for violation of
city ordinances and the justice, contrary
to law, allowed defendant to give bona
to await action of grand jury. It was
summarily dismissed by Judge Rose.
In these cases the defendants would
have beeu made to pay the costs and
fine if the justice had held them for trial
as he was required by law to do. and in
each of these cases, it being the fault of
the justice, I would recommend that
fees be not allowed. So in conclusion, I
would say that bill is evidently right
with above exceptions.
F. BALDWIN,
City Attorney.
On motion the report of the city attor­
ney was adopted and the clerk instruct­
ed to notify the police magistrate of tho
amount dne the city from said police
justice.
The report of special committee on
ways and means was taken up and dis­
posed of by ordinances and resolutions
recorded above. On motion the com
mitte was discharged.
By a motion our representatives in the
legislature were requested to have the
city charter so amended that the office
of city treasurer shall be abolished and
making the county treasurer the dis
bursing officer instead. The clerk was
instructed to mail a copy of the resolu­
tion favoring this action to the said rep­
resentatives.
On motion council adjourned.
State Summary.
Mandan Pioneer: It is estimated that
there have been over a thousand cases of
grip in Mandan. If there is a family in
which it has not made its appearance,the
Pioneei has not heard -of it. But the
cases now prevailing are light, and they
are getting lighter and lighter.
Four hundred and forty-seven post
offices in North Dakota are now under
orders to report to Fargo as headquarters.
This includes all the postofflces in the
state exoept seventeen presidential offi­
ces.
A signal service office is to be estab­
lished at Ellendale, if the Commercial's
report is correct.
Postmaster Judd of Fargo, says that
his town never had a rival for postoffice
business in the territory. For the last
fiscal year, Fargo's receipts were $23,326,
expenditures $11,318, net revenue 112,008.
In the same neriod, Sioux Falls netted
88,642, GrandForks 98,201, and Bismarck
•3,784.
On the James river bottom near Olivet
there is a large pool of water that ap­
pears to be bottomless. It has been
measured to a depth of 450 feet without
any signs of bottom.
Dickey County Leader: One car of
coai, "freight free" over the Manitoba
railroad hns been received at this station
for distribution among the drought suf­
ferers. and has been dispensed by Com­
missioner Ward. One car will bo sent
to each station in the county, Mr. Ward
going to Silver Leaf today to take charge
of one there.

"My little boy
had large scrofu­
lous ulcers on his
neck and throat
from which he
suffered terribly.

Two physicians
attended him, but he grew continually
worse under their care, and everybody
expected lie would die. I had heard of
the remarkable cures effected by Ayer's
Sarsnparilla, and decided to have my
lioy try it. Shortly after he began to
take this medicine, the ulcers com­
menced healing, and, after using several
bottles, he was entirely cured. He is
now as healtli and strong as any boy
of liis age." —William F. Dougherty,
Hampton, Va.
In May last, my youngest child,
fourteen months old, began to have^sores
gather on its head anil body. We ap.
plied various simple remedies without
avail. The sores Increased in number
and discharged copiously. A physician
was called, but the sores continued to
multiply until in a few months they
nearly covered thechild's head and body.
At last we liegan the use of Ayer's Sar
sapariila. In a few days a marked
change for the better was manifest. The
sores assumed a more healthy condition,
tiie discharges were gradually dimin­
ished, and finally ceased altogether.
The child is livelier, its skin is fresher,
and its apjietite better than we have ob­
served for months."—Frank M. Griffin,
