FROM CHICAGO.
How Things iopA for Various
Candidates.

Candidates.
| CHICAGO, June 15-Chairmar
Jones OF the Republican Nationa,
Committee was so swift in his de.
NAL OF the Blaine letter rumOr that
all ideas of an Endorsement of Sher-
man by Blame at this stage of the
game may as well be thrust aside,
"A careful canvass Of the situation
shows that Sherman has very little
positive strength outside of the
Ohio delegation, and his candidacy
is viewed with sublime Indifference
by everybody but mis- aggressive
though non enthusiastic supporters.
There is no utterance o. Sherman's
that furnishes a good slogan, and
his cold and repellant nature is
hardly calculated to arouse popular
interest. Even the Ohio delegation
is not unit for Sherman, and the
delegates against him are against
him good and strong. The stories
of Sherman's great strength are
simply canards. As matters now
stand, he may make fair showing
of votes on the first ballot, polling,
perhaps, over 200. But these votes
do not indicate positive strength
and will be largely in the nature of
a compliment from Southern Repub
licans. Lacking personal popular
ity and tact Sherman has not ac-
quired the friendship of the every
day Republicans and cannot secure
any hurrah votes. Ii he should
carry off the prize, in the confusion
of the struggle, the party would
take chances in the State Of New
York that are admittedly ticklish
and undesirable. Sherman cannot
now, as far as is known, count on
the vote or special friendship of a
single delegate from New York.
THE ALGER FIGHT
Is in good shape and improving.
Nevada will probably fall into line
for AIger after complimentary |
vote for Depew, and when this in
cident occurs there will be breaks
from other directions. The prelim-
mary skirmishing is breezy and ex-
and aside from the fight
between the respective adherents of
Harrison and Gresham, few signs of
bitterness are apparent. Alger en-
Joys perfect immunity from party
assaults. He has gained strength
steadily and each day he takes a
step forward. He has the conf
lence OF Blaine. and while that gen
;leman may not announce his prefer
,nce for him at the outset, he will !
see that his good opin-
on OF Alger ls made known to the !
delegates. For that matter, it is
llready reported that Walker Blaine !
las received a letter from his father
Alger. /

Settled Again.

The Suprens Court of Missouri,
to which an appeal has been made
as to the constitutionality of the
local option law passed by the
legislature of the State, has decided
that the passage of such a law by
the Legislature is not an interfer-
ence with the local affairs of par
ticular counties, and that it is not
contrary to the Constitution. Now
that local option has been estab-
lished in Missouri it will proba bly,
cease to be State issue, and the
people of the respective counties
will settle the matter for them
selves. This is decidedly the bet
ter way of disposing of the question,
and certainly the most satisfactory
and effective.-Register.
1t is strange, how each new step
in the reform settles the question
with these anxious politicians 1t
is simply stupid and ridiculous for
anybody to talk of the liquor ques-
ton ceasing to be State and Ma
tional issue so long as there is a
murderous saloon in the land, or
any trying to establish one in de-
fiance of the laws of God and man.
It is the issue of issues, till the sa-
loon is clean gone forever.

Of course they are helping ths

do otherwise in the very naturs

and necessarily an outlaw. Il

ONE IDEA PARTIES.
Three of Them In The Field.

A great deal has been said about
the Prohibition party being a party
of but one idea. All the parties
seem in fair way to be recon
structed on the same basis. The
one idea of the Prohibition party
is to destroy by constitutions
amendment, the liquor traffic; this
is good plank, surely.
The Presidents Message would
seem to indicate that lone thing
is needful" and that is to get rid Of
the surplus" now in the vaults Of
the Nation, and to stop its further
accumulation. This brings into
prominence the revision of the tar
if, and opens the question of free
trade and protection. If the mes
sage accomplishes nothing more, II
has defined the issue between the
old parties, and the next Preslden,
tial campaign will be prosecuted

NATIONAL NUISANCE
Demands q National Abafe-
lmenf.

loon as National nuisance, reason,
common sense, justice and the Ma
tional welfare all unite in demand
ing National abatement of that
nuisance. A national evil of any
kind calls for a national remedy.
Nothing less will meet the case.
For local ills, local remedies may
suffice, but when a malady becomes
national in its scope and pernicious
effects, the antidote or remedy must
be as wide and deep as the malady.
In deciding the Kansas liquor
cases, the Supreme Court of the
United States, by the unanimous
voice of the eight Judges on the
Bench, held that the State of Kan
sas .legislated wisely and well in
declaring the Saloon a public NUS
apce, and was fully authorized and
justified under the Constitu ton of
the United States, in proceeding
sumarily to abate such nuisance by
whatever means and force deemed
necessary.
And on the righteous grounds that
muisances are never paid for, the
Court held further that no claim
for compensation could accrue to
owners of breweries and saloons for
any losses sustained by abating
these nuisances, even though it de-
stroyed their business and rendered
their property valueless.
This most wise and far-reaching
decision is based on the broad
ground that all property is held
subject to the common good, and if
perverted to the maintaining of a
nuisance, to the detriment and
damage of the public, it must
be at the risk and peril of the
owner.
Such being the vast scope and
purport Of this decision, it is not
surprising that the hitherto defiant
Liquor Power was stunned and
staggered by the decisive blow.
The logic of the decision is the end
of the Liquor Traffic. This is in
evitable.
The premise established, the con-
clusion must follow.
NAisamces must be abated. This
is the common judgment of civilized
society everywhere. So universal
is the law of self-preservation that
society everywhere grows more
alert and watchful of its safety as
1t progresses in intelligence and
morality,and every community pro-
ceeds at once to abate whatever it
decides to be nuisance, threaten
ing or hurtful to the public health,
peace or security.
And now as the Saloon has been
branded nuisance by the highest
authority Of the Nation, it at one
bound leaps to the damnable digni-
ty of a National nuisance, and cries
aloud in behalf of sixty millions of
imperiled people for National
abatement.
And how is this National abate-
ment to be accomplished? Plainly
and inevitably by National legisla-
ton enforced by National Exec
utive, all in harmony with the Ma
tional Judiciary that has branded
the Saloon as a National nuisance
and outlaw. The States may
proceed to abate the nuisance,
State by State, but before the
abatement is complete and National
we must have Constitutional Pro-
hibition, State and National, and
