The late cutlery OF the Chicago po-
lice and the Pinkerton detectives
about another anarchist plot, appears
to have but little if any foundation,
save in their imaginations and de-
sires. The Chicaso.Herald, Demo-
cratic paper, in late issue refers to
those worthless in this style:
The streets of Chicago swarm with
detectives" many of them loafers,
tramps, charlatans, fellows too lazy
to work. They SO discredit oil prose
cutions upon which they fasten their
alleged services that conviction by an
honest jury is almost impossible.
They arc burden on the people and
a grievous source of expense to their
patrons.
OF course they are anxious for a
job, and what SO promising as ar

The Prohibition Party.
Chicago News.

The Prohibitionists are beginning
to feel their power. At the North
they are feared by the Republicans
and at the South they are dreaded
by the Democrats. They are whit
thing down the old-tlme majorities
everywhere. Many call them fanatics
but few call them insiLcere. There
are no illiterate Prohibitionists. None
of them are Incorporate, except, per
hnps, in zeal.
What is to be the outcome of all
this earnest work on the part OF
thousands of educated men and
women? Will they grow disheart,
ened and disband their forces within
the next few years? The history of
their party shows that it has expert
enced nothing but rapid growth from
the time of it's inception until now.
At the present rates of increase it
will soon hold the balance of power
between the two old parties, if it
does not already. When it has fully
arrived at that stage of existence,
will the saloon element of the two
parties combine against it, or will
those parties permit the Prohibition.
lists to dictate their own terms on
condition that they then dissolve
their organization into its original
elements?
The Prohibition party cannot be
put down by force. 1t cannot be
laughed out of existence. 1t is con-
stantly growing in strength. Re-
publicans and Democrats alike can
not much longer shut their eyes to
these facts.
