prohibitory Legislation with much
disappointment, and it is becoming
more and more apparent every day
that this vexed question will never
be settled by this method. The ele-
ment of profit must be eliminated
from the sale of lntoxicants before
any marked progress will be realized,
and the naturalization of their man
ufacture and sale affords the only
rational solution to the problem. In
Sweden long step has been taken
IN this direction. The business IS
there monopolized by municipalities
and individual profits are no longer
possible. Under this system the ex-
tent of the traffic, together with all
the evils resulting from it-drunk-
enness, delirium tremens, and other
effects of debauchery-hsve been
largely reduced, and there is a corre-
spending improvement in the condi-
ton Of the people. The defects are
that the profits are not entirely elm
mated. They are simply transferred
from the individual to the municipal
ity, and thereby society becomes
in the profits under the
idea that they are a means
Of diminishing taxation.
1t is not our purpose to even give
an analysis of the article by Mr..
Brooks. Every person who is inter-
ested in this question should procure
the December Forum and read it for

have 10 be submitted TO the various powers,
and that many months, and probably years,
would intervene before the agreement could
secure the sanction of the countries repre-
sented.
If the de Rothschlld proposition
should be accepted by the conference,
and the democratic party permits it
to be approved and carried into effect
in this country, there vii! be an
other landslide four years from now
in comparison with which that of 1892
will appear insignificant. The people
of this country will never accept any
such solution of the silver problem at
the hands Of any party.
When an international monetary
conference was agreed upon, no rs-
tionsl man who has given proper At
tention to the silver question, believed
that any solution was contemplated
that had the interests of the common
people in view. It has all along been
regarded as move in the interest of
the money loaners to give them
firmer grasp upon the finances of the
world. This conspiracy against the
people has already been carried
nearly to the limit of human forbear-
ance, and, if a halt is not soon called
by the constituted authorities, the
contest between the masses and the
classes will be settled by revolution,
and it will require but very little
more to precipitate it In this country.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP THE
ONLY REMEDY,
THE

The absolute futility of all legisla-
tion for the control or supervision of
railroads is again illustrated by the
decision of the United States court
in Topeka in which the right to form
associations whereby competition in
transportation is destroyed, IS fully
sustained. A Topeka press dispatch
summarizes Judge Riner's decision
as follows:
He held that by the organization of such
associations the roads do not necessarily
monopolize nor attempt to monopoliZe, nor
combine, nor conspire to grasp any part Of
the trade or commerce among the several
states. By organization of such assOois-
tions they do not in any way relinquish any
of their rights or franchises as individual
corporations, and even if they did the
Sherman anti. trust law does not in any sense
apply to common carriers. His decision is
so thoroughly in favor of the roads that they
could not ask or desire anything further on
the subject, and coming at present when re-
newed efforts are being put forth 10 reor-
gsnize some of the dissolved associations, il
will be an incentive to the roads to 90 on
and carry out their program without fear of
legal interference or prohibition.
We are here again reminded that
ownership and operation
of railroads is the only remedy for
the abuses that have grown up under
the present system.

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC IN SWEDEN.

The December number of the
Forum contains an article by Mr.
John Graham Brooks upon the Swed-
ish system of regulating the liquor
traffic, which is very timely and of
especial interest to those who are
studying the question in this country.
Mr.. Brooks was sent to Sweden by
the Forum company to make an in
vestigation of the subject, and his
article is of more than ordinary merit.
He has not only succeeded in pre-
senting very clear view of the mu-
nicipal monopoly of the traffic, to-
gether with the benefits that have
already been realized by the people,
but has likewise made clear the de-
fects Of the Swedish system in such a
manner that its good features may be
copied and the bad ones avoided.
The article is extremely valuable, not
only for what it says, but for what it
suggests as well.
There are very many prohibi-
tionists in this country who have
watched the progress made in the
control of the liquor traffic under

WHAT THEY HAVE GAINED.

Nearly all the third party prohibitionistl
belong to the State Temperance Union
which is now in session at Topeka. Per.
haps they will favor an anxious public BY
pointing out just what they have gained by
the defeat of the republican party.-Em-
poria Republican, November 30.
1t is not a difficult task to point out
what prohibltionists have gained by
the defeat of the republican party.
Thst. party has made the prohibitory
law farce. It's police commission
ers have licensed the sale of liquor in
all the principal cities of the state in
absolute defiance of the law. It's
chief executive has pardoned more
violators of the law than all the pre-
ceding governors have done since
its adoption, even signing pardons in
blank with dates to be filled In by
friends of the criminal after sentence
had been passed by the court. The
republican press has been silent
concerning these abuses and has sus-
tanned this corrupt administration In
it's acts.
In the defeat of this outfit prohibi-
tlonlsts and all good citizens may
congratulate themselves that they
have secured the transfer of the state
government from law-defying to
law-abiding men. The incoming ad-
ministration will have sufficient re-
gard for official oaths to enforce law
as it exists. IL the people are not
satisfied with this, they have their
remedy in the repeal of such laws as
are Objectionable. The duty of the
executive is to enforce law and not to
make it, and the incoming admins
tration can be relied upon to do its
full duty in this respect. Is this
sufficiently clear to the Republican? {?

to decide. It ls not question of the
qualification of the men, but one of
policy altogether.
There may, and undoubtedly will
be, other names mentioned. The AD-
vooATE has no special candidate, but
will have q good word always for its
friends, and is fully satisfied, if we
have Peoples party legislature,
that its choice will be as wise and as
generally satisfactory as that of two
years ago.

SENATORIAL CANDIDATES,

John w. Breidenthal, chairman of
our state central committee, has been
favorably mentioned as a senatorial
candidate. His ability is generally
acknowledged, and the people natur-
ally feel very kindly towards him
after the successful campaign that
has just closed.
Judge Doster has also been named
as a candidate. Everybody knows
Judge Doster. His ability and schol-
srship are recognized by friend and
foe, and the cry of socialist" that is
raised against him will not weaken
him in Kansas.
s. s. King, late candidate for con-
gress in the Second district, and who
withdrew from the race in favor of
Mr.. Moore, has been named by sew
eral of our papers for the place. His
little book, "Bohdholders and Bread
winners" is one of the best campaign
documents extant. He Is we'll and
favorably known throughout the state.
Probably the most extensively sd-
vertised candidate for this place is
Mrs. Lease. Republican papers
which have been reeking with all
manner of filth for two years in con-
nection with her name, are now boom
ing her candidacy for the United
States senate. 1t is difficult to under
stand the motive of this, and she may
we'll pray the good Lord for deliver
ance from her new-found friends. OF
course everybody knows Mrs. Lease.
The mere mention of the name of a
woman in connection with this Office
shows how great a revolution has
taken place in public sentiment in
this state within the last two years.
Some of our members of congress-
elect have also been mentioned in
connection with this place. Whether
it will be considered the prudent
thing to do to create a vacancy in any
of those places at this stage of the
game, is a question for the legislature

 The old depot is supposed to have been the victim of incendiaries. Another theory is that spark fram passing en- zine set it afire. The more plausible con- lecture seems to be that a burning coal escaped the stove aud so set the old building alight. It was not discovered until 3 a m and then it was impossible to save the building.
 This community was disgraced by the presence, last week, of two teams of cock fighters, one from Westport and one from Bridgeport. A contest was conducted in an old barn owned by John Couch. The sentiment of the communi- ty should be such as to render such scenes impossible as well as disgraceful.
