Objects to Something I'm The
Blade.

Brother Rucker, the editor of Q
Prohibition paper the Reporter
Of Somerset, KY, writes me a let.
ter Directing to my publishing the
article from the Medical Jour
nap about the resurrection OF
Jesus, and he says that 1 may pub
lish the letter if l desire.
IfBrother Rucker were recog-
nized as scholar in this apartment
or if his letter contained any new
argument on the subject, / would
gladly publish it. But it is merely
a repetition of the remarks of Mr..
j. Jones, of this city, to. which l
have already replied.
In allusion to my published re-
ply to MIR. Jones, an extract from
a letter to me from Mrs. Josephine
K. Henry, says: Nothing could
nearer approach the living of the
Nazarine code than your reply to
the man Jones, this week."
Mrs. Henry is l suppose about
as good a Prohibitionist as any of
US, and is regarded as one of the
brightest thinkers, writer's and
speakers in the State, and l will
let her comment 60 as an answer
to Brother Fuckers letter.

/ have just received the first
issue Of the new paper, the Yer
sailles Clarion.
II is edited by Mr., Fred Henry,
whose mother is so well known
among Prohibitionists and Woman
Suffrage people.
The paper Is gotten up neatly
both morally and mechanically;
but / regret to see that the faith
that dwells in his mother is not in
II.
It's nothing but a Democratic
paper, and thrusts away at the same
old wind mills that continually ag-
itate the Democratic Quixotcs.
When the demand for Demo-
cratic papers is already so over
done and there are so many fresh,
bright aud grand new ideas that
are engaging the attention of the
world it seems pity that any
bright young man should start out
to uphold a political party in which
every drunkard and political cor
ruptionist seems to find his natural
affinity.
The best thing any man can do
with the dominant Democracy OF
Kentucky, is to white wash it like
the sepulchres in the text, but
inwardly it is "full of corruption
and dead mems bones."
There are in the State Of Ken
lucky many fine people in the
Democratic party, but they have
not control of the party, and are
disguised with its bad morals and
incompetency.
If Mr.. Henry had recognized
this fact, and shown a disposition
to elevate the standard of his Owl
party, that would have been an adj
vance. But the Clarion is tn,
same old hum drum depreciation
of the Republicans.
First get the beam out of thin
own eye, and then thou shalt SCI
clearly how to get the mote out o
thy brothers Optic

with the full conviction that has
been forced upon me that l am
being greatly injured By its use.
Should l be restored to my nor
NAL candition, and fully demon
strate in my own experience what
a great evil the weed is. 1
wouldn't be surprised if another
of Barton Stones grandsons
should raise the banner of reform
and advocate a prohibitory law
against the manufacture and sale
Of tobacco. Well, l have read
the "Kational View once
through, and am more than
pleased with it. | would not be
able to Gull from its pages any
one part better than another-it

The Behring Sea Complication

The issue between this Govern
ment and Great Britain regarding
the Behring Sea seal fishing ques-
ton, is a case in hand that shows
the demand for an International
Arbitration Congress that is called
for in the Prohibition platform.
Nothing could have heen more
generous and conciliatory than
Lord Salisbury's request that our
American Supreme Court should
decide the issue.
OF course the fact of our Su-
preme Courts being parties to the
suit would make it highly indec-
curious that they should act in the
premises, and there seems to be no
other way Of reaching an equitable
decision about it.
1t is simply a matter of fact as to
whether the United States pur-
chased of Alaska, included Behring
Sea, which is largely surrounded
by Alaska, or whether Behring
Sea, being a part of the Pacific
Ocean, is the common property of
the world, to the seals of which any
body who might capture them
would have right just as anybody
would have right to any whale
captured any where in the Atlantic
Ocean.
There is no principle involved
in the matter and while either side
would readily abide the decision
of an International Arbitration
Congress, collision between
America and England is possible. |
1t would be bad precedent for
the United States to back down |
because we have no navy, and to
build such navy as would he ne
cessary to meet England, would
cost more than Alaska is worth.

and the Chairman to Swing Around

and Aggressive Work.
The following letter which has been
sent out from the headquarters Of the
national committee of the Prohibition
party to twenty-one states shows that
the managers are determined to push
things.
There is no doubt that these confer
ences will be held in about twenty
states.
They will draw the faithful together
i'll council. and the good effects of such
counseling vii! he apparent throughout
the year.
The state committees should meet at
the same time and carefully plan for
continuous and systematic work
Boom the conferences
80 EAST i4TH STREET, NEW YORK.
DEAR SIR--We desire to arrange Sc
ries of conferences under the joint direc-
ton of the national committee and the
various state committees.
To that end we submit for your con-
sideration the following propositions:
First-The conference for your state
shall be held at some time during Feb
ruary or late in January next, the exact
date to be selected ny us.
Second-The national committee will
undertake.
(a) 10 prepare programme of topics
covering either one or two days, as may
be decided upon. Suggestions for the
programme are solicited.
(b) To print IN! thoroughly distribute
the programmes and announcements at
least one month in advance.
(c) To provide two speakers for two
evening addresses, probably Ex-Governor
st. John aad the chairman of the ma
tional committee.
(d) To pay all necessary hall rent.
Third-The state committee will be
expected
(D To assign the various topics to per-
sons who will agree to prepare papers
for the conference.
(b) To secure reduced rates ON rail.
roads and at hotels as far as possible,
and to make full announcement of such
reduction
(c) To do all necessary local advertis.
ing and give II full and hearty support
to the eiIor!.
Fourth-ln View of the fact that the
national committee assumes such finan.
cial respons bility this committee shall
have an opportunity to raise funds at
each conference, it. being understood
that all moneys and pledges secured Ne
yond the amount necessary to defray
the expenses of the conference shall go
at once to the treasury of the state COM
mittee.
Fifth--ln few c;lses We may deem it
necessary to combine two or three states
in one conference.
Sixth-This circular is sent to all
members of the various state commit
tees. We solicit response from each
recipient. II is not our purpose to force
such conferences against the wishes Of
the executive officers Of the various
state committees, and hence we espe-
cially urge the chairman and secretary to
make immediate reply, as we have no
time to spare for preparations.
Seventli-We believe that in the pres
ent disturbed condition Of the public
mind such series Of conferences, 80
conducted rs to secure attention and
covering in their discussions broader
field than we have formerly occupied, is
certain to yield valuable results.
Please give me the benefit Of your
views at yOur earliest convenience
Yours truly, SAMUEL. DIcKIE

man, appointed by the national conven-

called on the president and secretary of
