How the 8 wins Deal With the Liquor
’ 7' ^
Bcune years ago, several towns in Swe-.
den, notably Gothenburg, attempted, to >
: solve fihb proftiletd oif drunkenness by go¬
ing intotoa —tail hquer business them
•elvsa. AU thfijia^Qjas w^r^ dosctl, .and,
the local authoiitiea undertook to be the
only seUerftff strong drink. The Sweden
are large consumer*.of arden^ spirits, und
it was hoped that this experiment would
xeadStHto chocking drunkenness. ,r ilie
plan was ipqch lauded soon ufter its
adlp^on^ hot nothing has been, heard
About it lately. Tho Republic of Switzer¬
land, howpver, is now trying it on a na¬
tional scale. The distillers in that nation
are required to sell all their products to
the State. The alcoholic stimulant/* are
manufactured under the oversight of gov¬
ernment officials, who flee to it that no
poisonous ingredients, are employed.
Those who want liquor to drink must go
to the officers appointed by the State, who
are under bonds not to sell to individuals
or families whose habits are intemperate.
Of course this experiment will fail, as
tb* only remedy for drunkenness is total
Prohibition. The dog*s tail must be cut
©ff close behiiul his cars. Bwt it shows
that the problem of how to best cure the
evils of iutem|>crnncc is world-wide, and
that all civilized nations are beginning to
grapple with it. These experiments,
aftor they have failed, will educute the
people to the necessity for sterner mess-,
uree. It is idle to sav that Prohibition
cannot be enforced, because throughout
the Moharamodan world spirit and wine
drinking has been put a stop to for cen
f uries. There is no drunkenness nor any
consumption of ardent spiritH in Mdhnin
tnedan communit.ioa. except where there
is wliat is OftUfd t’hristian traffic,. Euro¬
pean trades invariably introduce liquoi
into all commercial channels which they
leach. — Dnuorcot.
The Voire of Science.
The voice of science is emphatic against
alcohol. Sir Andrew Clark, M.D., an
eminent English authority, is reported as
saying in a recent address; “I am speak¬
ing solemnly and carefully in the pres¬
ence of truth; and I tell you I am con¬
siderably within the mark when I say to
you that, going the round of my hospi¬
tal wards to-day, seven out of every ten
there owed their illness to alcohol. Now,
what does that mean? That out of
every one hundred patients which I have
charge of at the London hospital, sevonfcy
per cent, of them owe their ill-health to
alcohol. 1 do not say these seventy per
cent, were drunkard*, but to the excea-.
sivc uae.” The experience of multitudes
of total abstainers demonstrates conclu-t
sivcly that alcohol, which, according to
the significant testimony of I)r. Clark, is
■o potent a factor of ill-health, is in no
sense a necessity for those who use it,
and are thus injured by if. even when
tselvnicallv they are not drunkards. To
let if alone i“ best. Vot iorinl Tempera nee

is little sliort of miraculous. Th^
report Graliom, of the drowning the of Superintenu
ent on Mandan sidjs cannot
be verified here, as there is no communi¬
cation. There is no ice running in the
river, which indicates that the gorge is
thirty still holding feet above. The Buford rise of
cannot get here before tomor¬
row. The train from the east to-day
brought more emigrants, and there are
now over 190 here. The Northern Pacific
is returning east passenger^ who desire
it, free. ' l i 1
THE WKATHKIl GROWING COLDER.
The published statement that the
Northern Pacific river warehouse in Bis¬
marck was full of goods for the up river
is a mistake, the goods having been re¬
moved in anticipation of the high water.
The high trestle of the Northern Pacific
bridge will require but three or four days
to night repair. Word reached Bismarck to¬
that a whole family had probably
perished, or is still held captive at a point
20 miles above. Parties at Painted
Woods have been telegraphed to go to
the rescue. It is getting colder.
The Missouri river is still on the ram¬
page. The Buford rise reached Bismarc k
to-day. and the water is flowing over the
prairie at a greutor depth and more ter¬
rible speed than evfcr. The stream has
risen u foot here to-dav, .which is equal
to rise of over twenty feet in the upper
river, us the water i* spread out over a
stTetch of country six miles wide.
The fearful blizzard has abated and
left over six inches of snow throughout
the Northwest. Thfs will add to the
flood, ami as the sun has come out warm,
the tributaries of the Missouri are already
growing from the melting snow.
THE PERIL OF THE PEOPLE.
The rescuing parties that made the
wonderful journey into the lowlands yes¬
terday. and saved the lives of six men
and one woman who were perched upon
the tops of honscs and in trees, are the
heroes of the day. A telegram from Fort
Lincoln yesterday announced that ihe
people could be seen from that point
standing and on the hay stacks and in the
trees, unless they were rescued they
would perish in the flood. If is referred
to in the Lincoln dispatch, although
many claim that the country directly op
posits inhabitants the fort of is the settled, flooded and district numerous
are
still in danger, if not swept away. A re
j>ort also comes from the north to the ef¬
fect that at Painted Wood, the settlers
have been in the trees und on the hay
stacks for two days and relief parties
have been sent to that point. The report
that Superintendent Graham, of tlie
Northern Pacific road,has been drowned,
bus bean denied, and it is learned that
the rumor grew out of his attempt to
cofile to Bhfiiarck Friday evening. The
gorge efforts at, Sibley Island remains firm, and
all t<> reniovo it are vain. If the
present state of affairs should remain a
the Missouri would have a perma
nent channel, cut east aerpss the county at
least two miles of its old course,
The ice is flowing freely today, and is be
lodged in blocks of from a rod to a quar¬
ter of a mile in length on the farms and
meadow loud of the settlors. Tho North
ern Pacific trestle has not been repaired,
and J l isimpossible f6r the company to

DEFYING OFFICERS.
Three Men Resist arrest and Are shot
Wown -
“ the Atlanta ntgomery, Alabama,
n Constitution
says: Further particular* of the bloody
tragedy which occurred at Mount Meigs,
Fnday morning, have been received,
The sheriff's posse of six officers went to
the home of James S. Sidney, colored,
who was wanted for grand larceny, and
who had previously openly defied the
officers. The posse found Sidney and
his two stepsons barricaded in their house
and armed with shotguns and axes.
Deputy Sidney and Parks, told who led the po*ae, called I
Kim to surrender quickly
as the officers were determined to take
him. Sidney replied that .he would kill
or be killed before he would surrender.
The officers then forced tbe door open,
and the shooting began. Two of the
officers shot Sidney and he fell dead. The
two stepsons were both .wounded, one in i
toe face and the other in th# thigh,
After the melee ended, it was found that
the negroes were armed with two shot
guns and five axes. Neither of the offi
cers were hurt. The boy shot' in the
face will lose an -eye, and the other’s
wounds are various. An inquest was
held and the officers released. Sidney’s
family was a terror to the community
where they lived. *
