THE PREss has the best possible organization
TO secure news from the most important sour
ces, and with nearly 400 Correspondents in Penn
sylyania, New Jersey. and Delaware, the State
and near-at home news Is covered with rou.
tine carefulness and attention to detail not even
attempted by any other paper.
The Press has also the best of correspondents
in al the great cities of the United States, as
well as financial and railroad experts in Chicago
and the West, who keep the paper more than
abreast with events
The columns Of the SUNDAY Press are enrich
ed by contributions from those whose names are
written high In our lists of great authors, novel
lsts,, essayists, as well as from men Of high rank
IN public life. The best authors know that
their best audiences are the readers of the
DAILY, SUNDAY and WEEKLY PRESS
In politics The PRESS knows no other master
than the people and the past year has seen, as
has been seen before, the marked fact that 1t Is
snbservient to no political boss. 1t has no poll
tical ambition to foster, but looks after the in
lerests OF its readers, and deliveries itself upon
the issues of the day In manner both frank and
fearless, letting the facts speak for themselves
and evading no issues but meeting them all on
the basis OF fair play to all men at all times Its
pages know no distinctions and the rights of one
class over another are neither recognized nor
supported.

He Sees Not q speck Of War on the
International Horizon.
NEW YoRK, March Sir George
Baden-P Powell, Of England, member Of
the Behring sea commission, was seen
at the Windsor hotel. In an interview
he said that he could not see the faintest
speck Of war on the international hori-
zon. The commission In Washington
was Of secret nature and could not be
discussed. Certainly, I" said he, Lord
Salisbury refuses to renew tho modus
vivendi Of last year, because the same
conditions do not exist. Modus vivendi
in this case Is a mere phrase and means
nothing. II is totally out Of place in
this instance and is used to make a
point. do not mind saying that the
work Is progressing favorabIy."
The commissioner emphasized the fact
that the published reports of what had
been done in the seal question were to-
tally at variance with the truth, and
calculated to mislead the public. He
said that the ministry had practically
approved the plan to submit the ques-
ton to arbitration. In England the
most kindly feeling prevails for our
American cousins, and any complica-
tons would be deplored. Sir George
spoke Of visiting the seal islands, and
did not think the seal were diminishing
In numbers as fast as many imagined.

Whether it is announcement 70,

ironlc presentation of the future
responsibility of the liquor business
as a result of this official protection,
let our readers Judge. 1t reads:
TO THE PRESS.
To the patrons of saloons throughout the Uni
ted States:
Inasmuch as the Worlds fair
directors have decided that no bars
or saloons shall be operated on the
grounds, but that liquor may be sold
in hotels and restaurants, it is de-
sired that in speaking Of our places
of business that you refer to them
as Hotelrestaurants instead of sa-
looms, and that our "bar" be known
as our business counter, and instead
of asking for the bartender, you
will call for the dispensing clerk.
We would urgently and especially
request our American friends to be
careful and observe the above rules,
AS we are DESTROYS Of impressing
upon the minds of our foreign visit
ors that we are progressive nation,
and have long since abandoned the
old vulgar practice of selling whis-
ky from saloon when we have

IT is refreshing to sse the enthu-
siastic Indignation with which the
better class Of newspapers and the
majority of the religious weeklies
resent the action of the local direct
ors bin voting for the sale of alco-
holiS liquors on the worlds fair
grounds. We so-called ''prohibi-
tion scranks" are not fighting this
battle alone. The alert, moral SEN
timent of the entire country is with
us Read these scathing words of
truth from last weeks Interior, the
Chicago Presbyterian organ: obs
guise it as we may, soften it with
whatever euphemism, this means
that the local directory of this great
international exposition have decid-
ed to 60 into the saloon business.
They are TO be sharerS III the prohtS
of vending liquors on the fair
gron nds. They are to be silent
partners in the gains to be gotten
from putting the bottle to mems
lips in this high place of the nation.
We brand this as national insult.
This worlds fair has governmental
sanction and seal. 1t is no mere
concern of local directory And
yet the big brewers and liquor
vendors seem to have pocketed the
fair and to be determined to pocket
large portion of the gross receipts.

Fugitive Slave Law.
GREELEY, KAs., Jan. 80, 1872.

Fugitive Slave Law make every mar
subject to the demands Of the pur
suers of fugitive slaves 2'' to which
] answer in this /: There was a pro.
vision in that law which authorized
any one in the pursuit of fugitive
slave to call upon any man to assist
him in ascertaining the whereabouts
and causing the arrest of the fugi-
tive or fugitives, and refusal to do
so was declared a felony, punishable
with fine and imprisonment That
damnable provision in that law en-
powered the Southern STAKEHOLDER
in the pursuit of his human chattel
to compel the Northern freeman to
assist him in hunting Down a human
being fleeing from bondage, against
whom there was no graver chage
than that he preferred liberty to
bondage. And this is my reason
for calling that law "devil law"
The Kansas Nebraska bill was
very little better. That bill removed
the barrier over which the slave
holder could not take his slave to
make a permanent residence. Under
the seductive argument of Squatter
Sovereignty, Stephen 4. Douglas
succeeded in having that bill passed,
ane Immediately the Shareholder
took up his line of march, with his
human chattels, for the plains of
Kansas. Under the compromise of
1920, slavery, OF involuntary servi-
tude, could not pass north Of SO, 30,
north latitude. The Kansas Nebras-
IA bill removed that barrier-indeed,
practically natiOnalized slavery. The
abor-owning Plutocrats of that day
lid, IN this, over-reach themselves.
The supreme moment had come.
Outraged justice could stand no
more and then came the conflict
he Border war. Ruffianism and
Justice crossed sabres, and they
nave been in antagonism ever since.
The brutality of the Fugitive
Slave Law was its disregard of the
lights or convictions Of any man,
save the right of force of the slave
lunter.
The Kansas Nebraska bill has not
,een repealed, save the authority
conferred therein upon the slave
FOLDER to take his slaves into any

The last issue of one of the Ma
tional liquor dealers papers, shows
the closeness with which prQhibi
ton sentiment is watched. Of the
six articles on the first page, five
are clippings from temperance pa
pers with attempted replies attach
ed. One is warning to the Chicago
liquor trade based upon the recent
decision Of the supreme court of
Illinois to the effect that municipal
tiles have right to designate pro-
hibition districts, and that such
districts shall remain prohibitory,
even when the municipality Great
ing them has united with another
municipality. The warning includes
q call to 'tall the saloonkeepers,
liquor dealers and brewers in the
city of Chicago to increase and
strengthen their protective associa-
tons, to thoroughly organize for
action at election times and work in
unison regardless of political parti'
sanship." The second is lengthy
extract from a speech from John g.
Woolley, "a notorious prohibition
crank" in which he gives "a
graphic and really enticing descrip-
ton of the typical saloon" accord
ing to the aforesaid paper, the
article closing with prophecy that
Mr.. Woolley will one day stand be-
hind his own bar. With what

selection is from the Woman's Trib-

the fourth and fifth, clippings from

ton banquet and press meeting,
with poor attempt at ridicule over
the employment of the word 'toasts'
at banquet where no liquor was

organs are engaged in following up
our sentiments with such pointless
replies as these, we have nothing to
fear from their journalistic influence.
