TEMPERANCE MOVEMENTS
SOMETHING NEW AND NOVEL. IN THE
PRoHtBlTloNIsTs

A lac of Action Growing Out OF the SUI
preme Court Decision that the People
Can Not Barter Away the Health of the
Public.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 5.-An i'm
portant line of action respecting prohibit
ton has been practically ina%ugurated,
with the active support Of the leaders of
the movement in all parts OF the coun-
try, the first step of which, it is likely,
Will be taken in this city. It grows out of
the decision of the supreme court OF the
United States, in the Kansas case, where
in it is asserted that the
people can not barter away the
health of the public, and plainly
says that the public traffic in
intoxicants is against the public life and
health. Correspondence has been had
With all prominent workers, and it has
been agreed to try and attack the consti-
nationality of all license laws. Prepara-
tions have been completed in New York,
New Jersey, and other states to bring the
matter Immediately to a test. In this
county the Prohibitionists expect, at an
early day,t TO file with the county commits
sloners a protest against the granting of
licenses to applicants for saloon powers
In case the commissioners decline to
grant the petition, a result that is ex-
pected, they will appeal and carry the
matter to the supreme court
of the state. A prominent
lawyer says he has made a careful exam
nation OF all the facts bearing on the
situation which 1t is proposed to bring
about, and he thinks the supreme court
will concur in the legality of the con-
clusions reached by the Kansas court, and
affirmed by the United States. supreme
court.
Preparations are going forward on
rather an unique scale for the approach
ing Prohibition national convention in
this city. There will be some novel
features at the convention. Music, ora
tory and women will be the inspiration
OF the occasion. A chorus of several hun
bred voices has been provided for, and
old army tunes, to new and old words.
will be sung by the chorus, with an in
y1tation to the entire convention to ioin
IN. All the great women Interested in
the cause will be here.
The Blue and the Gray" Is the name OF
an organization of federal and confederate
soldiers that will be nationally recognized
In the interest of the prohibition move
ment. 1t Is to be modelled after the C.
A. H., except that soldiers of either army
in the late war are eligible. Adherence
to prohibition IDEAS will not be made a
cardinal requisite of the membership in
the association. Its purpose is to unite
and assist in uniting the veterans of the
north and the south, and to call their at
tentioh to a new principle worthy the adj
herence of voters of all sections.

THE BASIS OF FAITH.

There Are No Thsee undred Competeut
Engineers Out Of Employment.
CHICAGO. March 5.-Chief Arthur last
night expressed his perfect confidence in
the successful result Of the strike, and
believed the entire matter would be eff
fectually settled within o short time.
There are not 800 competent unemployed
engineers in the country. I know this.
and have no hesitancy in stating the fact.
In that case it will readily be seen that
the places of the strikers cannot be filled
by competent engineers, which the char
tiers OF the companies require. There can,
therefore, be no doubt of the success OF
the strike.n
DO you think there is D probability
OF the strike extending to other western
| roadsfn
mot at present. We are determined.
II possible, to confine this difficulty TO
the road in which it originated, and I
will use every legitimate effort to pre-
vent Its extending to any other road. OF
course we expect the other roads to main
tain their promised neutral ground in the
matter, and l believe they will do it.
Therefore. I think the strike will be con.
tined to the @ road, and the victory
will be won on the merits of the claims
Of the Brotherhood
Chief Sargent also said in substance
that the Brotherhood did not desire to
extend the strike TO other roads, and he
did not believe it would be done. ALI the
other companies were paying the wages
ASKED by the engineers, and he did not
believe they would give any material as
sistapce to the Burlington, and thus COM
pei radical measures OF resistance.
Both chiefs report that from all reports
received the men all along the road are
firm and confident Of success, and en-
couraging kilograms are being received
from all divisions Of the Brotherhood
over the country.
