We are to have another State election
this fall, and have already had our Pro-
hibition convention and put q full
ticket in the field. The candidates are
we'll chosen, and I believe that the vote
will be much larger in the State. I do not

the growth of prohibition has been so
rapid, we'll grounded and substantial
and promising as atathe present time.
High license is to be the question in the
coming campaign, by the ~far-seeing
liquor men. their sympathizers, and
those who do not see the trap.
I believe the hand is nearing the hour
when it will strike the death-knell of the
liquor traffic, with all its disastrous ef-
fects upon our people, and that it will be
the wonderment Of the future that it was
possible for such a thing to exist in q

A Boom for the Third Party.

Those ardent political organs which
have been citing the recent Supreme
Court decision of the Iowa liquor case as
a death-blow to prohibition are begin
ming to revise their opinions.
They realize that they have spoken
hastily and are nov taking q much more
serious view of the matter.
The fact is that this decision instead
of killing the third party menaces the
old political organizations. By showing
that State prohibition is impracticable,
and that even high license may be easily
evaded, it has placed the question just
where st. John and his adherents have
been, striving to placeit-before the whole
country. Hitherto the prohibitionists
have been divided into two classes
viz, those who believed the liquor traffic
should be regulated by the States them
selves, and those who believed it q proper
subject for national legislation. The
first and most numerous class voted the
Prohibition ticket in State elections, but
returned to the old parties in national
campaigns; the second class voted for
prohibition at every opportunity. Here
after there will be but one class, and it
will comprise all who believe in prohibi-
tion. Hereafter in every dis
trict which contains O handful of Pro-
h~ibitionistA q candidate for Congress will

The National Government cannot af-
ford to become a party to violations Of
wholesome State laws. Therefore the
interstate commerce regulations should
be SO amended by Congress at its present
session as to prevent the carrying of liq-

do this would be 3 very disgraceful omis-
sion of duty and also would add greatly
to the strength OF the National Prohibit
ton party.-ChicagO Neacs,

1T Is TRUE.

Jay Gould Has b:ained Control of the
Union Pacific.
sTecial to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Nov. 81 .-Notwithstand-
ing Gould $ recent denial, it is now def
nitely known that he has checkmated
the Vanderbilts, and will in very short
time take control of the Union Pacific.
The first action to be taken by the new
board of directors will be the abrogation
of the trustees agreement made with
theSNorthwestern road, and the Wander
bilts will have to take the came position
in regard to Union Pacific business that
their competitors stand in. The fact has
come out that within the last few days
conferences have taken place in this city
between S. l.. Ames, representing New
England Stockholders in Union Pacific,
with Jay Gould and others who have ac-
quired large interest since the fall in
prices began, and that the result of tn Sc
deliberations is that it has been agreed
that Charles Francis Adams shall be re-
leased from position as soon as a meet
ing OF stock holders shall be held
and that the management shall be
organized with Sidney ID iilon a president
representing the Gould interests, and a
new board Of directors which will include
Jay Gould, Russell! Sage, Alexander +.
Orr and Henry b. HYDE. This meeting
will probably be called during next week
and Is Il result of the deal thu Missouri
Pacific system will be brought into
practical harmony with the Union Pa
cific. and both of th"se with tn Northern
Pacific system, so that apparen;l. long
step has been taken towards securing
harmony In the operation of oil the great
roads West of the Mississippi river. 1t was
currently reported that President Adams
had already placed his resignation in
hands of Frederick Ames OF Boston.
To your correspondent Gould said to-
day: 81 know nothing as to whether or
not Adams has placed 3 resignation in
the hands Of Amts. l may say, how
ever that MIR. Adams and Amrs visited
me IN my Office yesterday, ana that the
former expressed strong desire to be
relieved from the office of president. He
suggested that he should resign and that
Il meeting of stock holders for acton upon
his resignation should be called to take
place next week. | presume if il is true
that he has Entrusted his resignation 10
Ames that this meeting will be held. 1t
Is likely also that vacancies occurring in
the management of the road will be Il led
at this meeting. Dillon has been men,
toned us the successor of Adams. 1t is
pronounced that should Dillon be chosen
there would be elected along with him
vice. president, who should also act as
general manager, with headquarters at
Omaha. Dillou's interest would of
course keep him here where as presid ent
he would only have to look after the
finances of the road. ~

Filled With Fashionab BILE Audience to
Listen to Delightful Music.

two acts, written by w. S. Gilbert and
composed by Sir Arthur Sullivan, en-
titled "The Gondoliers, or King OF B ar

The music ana arrange Inent is snmew hat
unique, but the libretto Is little weak e.
The lower portion of the house was
packed by most usually respectable
and appreciative audience, and it may
also be added an entirely fashionable
one.
The stage setting was fine and the cos
tunes elegant. Miss Fatmah Diard
who has a soprano voice Of great strength
and sweetness, captured the audience
from the first and was loudly applauded.
Miss Marie Laurens singing in the sec
ond act received n double encore, and
Miss Lille Adrich, as Tessa, received
her share of well earned piaudits. The
parts of the two gondollers were most ac-
ceptably filled by Messrs. Shackford and
Paxton, and Mr.. Mountjoy Walker as
the du e was Il feature of the entertain
ment. Maurice Hageman as the grand
inquisitor made a marked hit. The COM
pany is good in its entirety and the chorus
