Two failures , uggregat Hi ( Ing $160,000 , within a few weeks , makes lln HI | bufilnusa outlook for the "Queen City" any Bj thing but cheerful and encouraging. 1 I It Is announced that tin * whiskey trust tun H ' decided on n campaign of cxtermimitioi H against distillers who have rofusud to come in H to tbu combination. This Is to bo inaugurated 2 January 1st by a decided reduction in the H prlco of whiskey. H Tiik indiscriminate suspension of proofs or H i dercd by tho commissioner can't fail of exert H lug a blighting effect on this cutiro westen H | country. Besides it is unjust and outrngeoui H ' and will bo most damaging should the policy H bo pursued actively. H I Tho saloon caBu came up hotoro Judge Coih : H ran on Saturday last , and the appeal of G.S B Bibhop from the city council granting uliuensf H to Uoycr & Gillen was dlstnlsnod for iiilorinuli I 'ty. but it seems that duriu. the term ili-nr.\ I Crabtreo had filed u petition tor u writ of man Hi damuB asking the court t onl * r the city conn Hi j cil to reopen tho caso Tloyer & Gillen and ho n Hi' ' 'the evidence as to the sufficiency of iliHr ins K tition. This latter caso came upon a demurei Hi to tho petition , which being over-ruled tin H trial was sot for the 27th Itist Courier. B A friend Of tho Hon. James l-iunl was in the H eitj * .

Lincoln Journal. B Thcroisono aspect of tho question ( piidlic B | school question ) on which the Cat holies arc B ' right , and on which the rest of the ueopie will B sooner or later come around to their position. B j And that position Is that the public school ; H arc sad'y deficient in providing for nothing In H tho sbapo of moral instruction. It is only H fs'r to presume that tho Catholics hnvo lien ) H ' and there asked for public school funds for H tho support of church schools in order to sup- Hi p'y this deficiency as far as they could. Hut I > itcan notbosupp'iedthatway. To attempt it I -will only postpono the real remedy that much I louger. Tho thing for tho Catholics to do is co- operate with the Protestants.t lie agnostic in or- I atists , and all other good citizens in forniulat- I ing a system of elementary morals for use in I the public schools , leaving religion to bo I taught in the homo and church school.
