An effort is being made in some
parts of the state, and we might say,
by fanatics and crsnks, to array the
prohibition element against the dem
ocratic party at the ensuing election.
These would bo conspicUosl5ics

the best temperance law ever enacted
by any state, a law the good influence
of which haa been felt throughout

We arc mainly indebted to the dem.

equally by the republicans, in pro

parties and organize as an independ-
onJ partly we will lose many coun"
ties that are now dry, by the votes
Of the people.
In the states Of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and other western states, where
they have organized separate prohi>
bitiou parties, they have wholly
failed to get favorable legislation,
mainly because they hayo antago-
nlaed The parties in power. We can
advance the cause Of temperance
more by ozerting our influence in
the present political parties to secure
the election Of officers favorable to
our cause, than by antagonizing
them and making them our enemies.

Reducing Their Wages.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-The following is printed among the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe employees by the announcement that an order had been received to notify all salaried men on this line that their wages would be reduced 10 per cent, beginning Thursday, Nov. 1. The only exception to this general reduction of salaries was in the case of those employes-such engineers and frenen- who belonged to organized bodies or unions This class was exempt from the reduction, the reason being, it is said, that>it was not thought advisable to court a strike. It is reported that the cut extends on every branch of the line to the Pacific coast.

The Attorney Generals Opinion on the
 Closing Law.

The Attorney Generals Opinion on the
 Closing Law.
 ALBANY, Oct. 31.-A United Press re porter asked Attorney General Tabor his opinion on the question of disenfranchise- ment by reason of the greatly increased reg istration in New York city. The attorney general replied; My opinion is that if a voter is at the polls ready to vote at o'clock, or whenever the time of closing arrives, he is entitled to cast his ballot and have it counted. believe that the liberal and yet lawful construction to put upon the passage is that the words, closing of the polls,' re- fers to the place, not to the ballot boxes, that is, the polls includes the place and vicin- ity where the voting is carried on, and those about the place are to be considered as within the polls; and while the polls are to be hand should not be prevented from deposit ing their votes"
 The state's legal counsellor went on to say "I consider it would be the greatest kind of outrage to deprive man of his right of suf- frage when he is properly registered, and justly entitled to exercise it. The object of the law is to prevent fraud by rascals, but in its operation en honest man should not be made to suffer disfranchisement, but should be provided by law with an ample oppor- tunity for voting easily and conveniently.
 Referring to the situation in New York city, MT. Tabor said he feared there would be trouble on election day over the matter in a number of the districts. Should riot break out it would serve the purpose of en- phasizing the fact that more and better facili ties ought to be provided for balloting

wve not been violated in tho present cage by - correspondent of the British minister.
 Cy your direction the attention of sie Mssrlsh government has in Q spirit of comity .s-u, called to the conduct of its minister, as ez-ove described; but without result. If tssrefore becomes necessary for this govern rn-nt to consider whether, as the guardian 'S its own self respect ard of the integrity of itl institutions, 1t will permit further inter- course to be held through the present British minister at this capital. It is to be observed that precedents are not wanting as to the question under consideration. It is settled rule, essential to the maintenance of lnterna tiOnal intercourse, that diplomatic repre- sentative must be persona grata to the gov ernment to which he is accredited. If, by his conduct, he renders himself persona non grata an announcement of the fact may be made to his government. In the present case all the requirements of the comlty have been fulfilled, the facts having been duly communicated to her majesty's government with an expression of the opinion of this gov ernment in regard thereto. Respectfully submitted, T. F. BAYARD.
 A prominent official of the state depart ment said to representative of the United Press that if diplomatic precedents were fol lowed the British minister would forward the presidents notification to his home gov ernment, and that in due course he would re- ceive leave of absence for an indefinite period. No further action would be taken by this government, whether the minister continued to live in Washington or not. The old time custom of twenty four hours notice to quit the country had been abandoned,
 The records of the state department show that Lord Sackvile's case is quite analogous to that of Sir John Crampton, the represent ative of England at Washington ill 1856. He violated the international law of neutrality by seeking recruits for the British army in the Crimea The facts were laid before the British government and Sir John notified that his conduct was displeasing to the United States His withdrawal ensued.

Employees of the Railroads.

The employees of the railroads are world within themselves, having griefs, ambitions, hopes and rewards that are familiar, !~ld yet they are divided into little worlds of their own. For instance, young man entering the clerical department lives to become chief clerk, an auditor, treasurer, or other fiscal officer. The locomotive fireman be- comes in time an engineer. The freight brakeman expects to become a freight con- ductor, and the freight conductor looks for ward to the day when he will runa passenger train. The passenger brakeman readily be- comes a freight conductor. The engineer ex- poets some day to be master mechanic. The passenger conductor may become a master of transportation. The switchman develops into yardmaster, and then perhaps a dt- vision superintendent. The lines are broadly drawn. The instances of men rising from the brakes to the superintendency and presi- dency of the road, as did A. A. Talmage, are so few as to be notable.-Passenger Agent in Globe-Democrat
