A couple of weeks ngo the Re
publican had au article taken from a
Washington dispatch saying that the
bill recommended by Secretary Root
for tho reconstruction ol tho consular

the consulate genornlshlp at Antwerp
now held by Major Church Howe, of
this city, had. been reducod to an ors
dinary consulship.
Tho house committee on foroign
affairs have mado a favorable report
on this hill, but havo changed t lie bill

We aro heartily in sympathy with
every effort that is made for the pro
hibition of the liquor t rathe. We are
willing to do everything in our power
to assist in forwardiiiu every - uch
movement. But wo admit that, it does
n.e us a little when wo accept an
urgent invitation to be present and
assist in the relorm movement, and
then bo denounced from the platform
as an enemy of the cause, and told that
theio are no voters in favor ot protiibis
tion unless they vote the prohibition
party ticket. We believe more good has
been accomplished by the anti-saloon
league, which is strictly non-partisan,
than by the effoits of the prohibition
party. In fact, wo believe the only
good accomplished by that party is tho
agitation of tho question, and this is
offset in a great measure by their
uncharitableness and habit of denounc
ing everyoouy tunc uoes not uo just as
they do. The only prohibition laws
that havo over been passed in any
state have been passed without tlio
help of prohibition party members of
tlio legislative body, because that party
novor elects its nomitnes, and tho
party that has passed prohibition laws
has always had tho active opposition
of tho prohibition party leaders.

Professor Duncanson of the normal

the shaft was aunk on the farm of
