The silver question is now nu

It is the penurious kind of econ
omy to deprive your family of a
lurid paper. Tho wife doirt get
out to see and learu as docs the
father and children, and hence is
deprived of a sensu of enjoyment
that nerves to relievo many hours
of loneliness when she is alone or
with the small children, and then
tin- home paper is an educator of
the children, as they will read of
the people and incidents with
which tlioy are acquainted. There
ix nothing that win bo introduced
in a family that will learn the
children to read Taster and bettor
than the home paper.
A newly appointed justice of
the peace in Northern Idaho was
nuked what he would charge to
marry a forlorn looking couple
that had appeared to him from the
backwoods. Tho J. 1. thought he
could perforin the ceremony for
fifty cents. The man allowed that
he migt raiso that sum. On the
performnneo of tho ceremony, the
justice called for his feu. After
considerable fumbling in the pock
et of hifl overalls the bridegroom
thought he had either lost it or
left it "to hum." The J. P. hav
ing no dosiro to lose so largo a
prize as lifty cents, calmly inform
ed tho rustic youth that hu wu
"unmarried." A bystander came
to the iciouo of the young man
and loarod him lifty cents which
wan handed to his honor. The
justice then remarked that they
wero married and at liberty to do
r.art. The Jiouorablu, tho Cumini
sioners of thu District of Coluin
bia, are distinctly unhappy. Tho
local prohibition element uoked
these gentlemen to restrict, in thu
granting of licenses for the ensu
ing year, tho number of saloon,
as far as possible; out of this sug
gestion souieoi.e evolved the bril
limit idea of restricting tho num
ber of bar rooms in any square to
four. Kxaotly how the sheep
should bo choiod from thu wolves
in such cases was not deemed of
sufficient impoitmico to furiiihh an
objection to tho now rule. Tho
rule was adopted and now the
commissioners aro trying to en
force it. Among the first license
granted in squares having an ex
cessive number or bar rooms, wore
licenses fo places notorious for vi
olations of law places that pay
no attention to tho Sunday and
after-inidnight closing law. .Sa
loon, keepers on tho same tqiiare,
who close promptly and keep or
derly places, have been ignored.
J n tho emergency tho distillers
and wholesale dealers of Philadcl
phia, lhtltiuiore, Louisville and
other cities, havo come forward
and will endeavor to enlist the c.o
operation of a sulliuicut number or
senators to be ablo to bhow the
new commissioners that unless
they retract tho now rule they will
fail of continuation by tho senate.
