It i» true that Prohibition is a Stale
issue and the tariff’ is not. But
Prohibitionist dreams that his party
can capture the State this year, and
the Lincoln party has declared in
favor of local prohibition—of loesl
option, as it is more commonly known.
Certainly to accomplish that would be
in the direction of the purposes of the
Prohibition party. LU is not necessary
to wait until the ent.re State shall be
converted to prohibition if some of the
counties are ready for it now. By
supporting local option until they ean
get prohibition throughout the State
the temperance people would be necting
consistently with their principles.

The latest decision in the rural de-

made according to the instructions of

long, so many wide, so many deep

in rainy weather must have an um-
brella over the box, and before it can
be used it must be approved by the de-
partment, aud possibly a tin tag will
be attached, giving the date of the ap-
proval. What supreme bosh, when
one can buy a box already approved
for infinitely less than to make it him-
self, and all the trouble saved. But
there is nothing like decisions,

The recent rains have csused much
of the wheat, standing in sbock, to

care on the part of the farmer to select
good grain for seed. The rains, how-

ture lots will take on new life; the
corn is growing at almost a galloping
