A Chorus.
The Press aro In harmony and a 11t
tlo bolsteroue In saddling tho responsi
bility of tho dirty row in Columbia, on
young Watts, tho Adjutant and In
spector Oenoral. It is vory true that
Watts' ollleo does not provldo for a
stalT and a string of Majors and Cap
tains, but the times do. It is tho fash
ion. Wo aro a population of Colonels
and Captains without commands. It Is
truo that bo is no roviowing otlleor,
but If tho commandor of tho troops,
Col. Jones, tendered him that honor,
then it was an elegant courtesy and
uodoubt was appreciated. Ordinarily,
tho Colonel's quartermaster (In old
militia days ho was more familiarly
known as dog-poltor) should have pro
vided the parade ground. In a milit
ary aspect the ollicor in command of
tho troops is onllroly responsible. Tho
policeman was a monster in obeying
any bodys orders and if did ho should
bo doalt with accordingly. Watts
should not bo mado to shoulder all
tho responsibility. According to his
stalomont ho acted as the facts seemed
to him to warrant and bo had a right
to assume that the militia was entitled
to tho ground. Col. Jonos, as tho
commander of the troops is really tho
responsible party. Hut those are
monstrous military times and Conorals
and Colonols are not to bo held down
to ordinary rules of conduct. Some
thing must be allowed for big feelings
In thoso who wear opaulettes and
cocked huts, lu war times a Major
Gonoral sent his Chief of StalV. a Ma
jor,-on some business to tho War De
partment. Tho Major invited all the
staff to accompany him and carried
along a half do/on couriers. As they
entered the department with so much
parade, tho "curled darlings" of that
splendid bomb proof rose on-masso to
saluto, thinking that it must atleast be
Job Stewart, if not Jackson, that came
in with so much pomp. What would
this world bo without fuss and feath
ers? Give them a eh anco.

As was oxpoetod tho dispensary sys
tem of tho Rtato is as good as knocked
in the head. Whiskey or other liquors
may now be shipped into the Stato and
sold in the original package, a sealed
bottle, demijohn or cask, the federal
laws boing complied with. Tho State
Dispensary will undertake to go on,
dispensing with the constables. It Is
necossary to dispose of a ,toek costing
some hundred thousands dollars. It is
a serious matter for the Stato. The
liquor problem is and always has boon
a moat serious one. We were op
posed to the Dispensary for many
reasons?foremost, that wo thought it
dangerous for a Stato to enter into
such business or any business, corrupt
ing in tendency as necessitating a vast
horde of ollicials. and because so op
posed to the genius of our people that
it needs to be enforced with blood. But
while all this is so the Stato went into
it and we as good citizens aro bound to
help tho State out of her predicament,
so far as we aro able to do so. There are
plenty of pig-headed people to re
joice at tho discomfiture of the Stato
by reason of the decision of Judge Sl
monton. Every good man wo hope
will aid In suppressing any illogal traf
fic In liquor. Let every citizen and
officer bo on the alort to prosecute any
oase of disorder resulting Irom tho
sale of whiskey. The Legislature con
venes in January, and with the exper
onco of other and older communities
will bo able to moot the situation. A
high liconse systom, confined to mun
icipalities, with tho liconse distributed
over tho supporting district is probably
tho host solution . Prohibition does
not prohibit. But tho situation result
ing upon Judge Simouton's decision
has not yet developed and thero will
be tlmo to consider tho solution of tho
problom presented. Ponding an ap
peal, which is not probable, (Harbor
must bo getting tired) the decision
stands. Wo trust that tho plg-head
odnesf on the side of tho gratified will
not bo olTsot* by bullhoadodness on the
part of tho mortified. Prido of opin

OBITUARY. _
After a long ?nd protracted ill
ness, God has saw lit to visit the
home of Mr. (1. \V. L. Teague and
claim for their own their little
daughter, Clara. She passed away
at 12 o'clock Thursday and was
conveyed to Waterloo on the fol
lowing day for interment. We do
sincerely sympathize with the he
leaved family and commend them
to Jesus who is ever faithful and
true and nble to comfort them that
put their trust in him.
(Mara, thy noise now is hushed,
Thy warm true heart is still,
Ami on thy young and innocent
Brow is resting death's cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped up >.n thy breast,
We have kissed thy lovely .>row;
And in our aching hearts we know
Wo have no darling now.
When we seo thy precious blossom,
That we tended with such euro,
Budoly taken from our bosom,
How our hearts almost despair.
Round thy little gravo wo linger,
'Till tho setting sun Is low,
Peeling all our hopes have perished,
With tho (lowers wo cherished so.
Je&US while our hearts aro bloeding,
o'er the spoils that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting,
Calmly say thy will bo done.
Though cast down, we're not forsaken,
Though alii let od not alone,
Thou dld'st give, thou ba9 taken.
Blessed Lord thy will bo done.

MORE
Curative power is contained in
Hood's Sarsaparilla than in any oth
er similar preparation. It costs the
proprietor and manufacturer more.
It costs the jobber more and it is
worth more to the consumer. Mote
skill is required in its preparation
and it combines more remedial
qualities than any other medicine.
Consequently it has a record of
more cures and its sales are more
than those of aViy other prepara
tion. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best
medicine to buy because it is an
honc.-t medicine and thousands of
testimonials prove that it does act
ually and permanently cure dfs
ease.
