enclose slip from todays issue of the
GLOBE purportng to be an interview be-
tween reporter of the GLoBE and Hon. S.
NJ. Owen, and closing with comments there
on.
AS happened to be present at the time of
the interview aud heard what passed between
that the published statement is misleading
and does Mr.. Owen an injustice since 1t pu:s
him in false light as to his attitude towards
the Farmers Alliance.
The particular part to which want TO call
your attention and to which take exception
is where he is represented as saying THAI he
was not an Alliance man and the comments
of the reporter on Mr.. owens position
towards the Alliance. Pe
Mr.. Owen did not say that he was not an
Alliance man in the sense. as represented
that he was not in sympathy with the aims
and purposes of the Alliance; nor Gid he
say anything that would warrant the asser-
ton OF the reporter that he has nothing In
common with the Alliance:'' nor did he fnti-
mate that he was not interested in the meet
ings and deliberations of the State Alliance.
What he did say was: That his absence from
the convention was without any Sign.hca-
tion; that he was not member of the Farm
ers Alliance. had never taken part III any
convention of that body, except upon fnyi-
tatlon to address il. as he did last winter; that
he did not feel warranted in Interfering with
the deliberations of this convention, and that
his absence from. IL should not excite any
comment. / feel sure that you have no de-
sire to do Mr.. owen any injustice or TO mis-
represent him in any wav through the col
umns OF the GLOBE, may not ask the favor
for myself and justice for Mr. Owen that
you publish the above corrected statement of
Mr.; Owens remarks to your reporter. Yours
truly, ALBERT WARREN.

Mr. Owen occupies peculiar position just

LANES IDEA.
How He Would Kill Prohibition
lists and Enthusiastic Crusad-


lists and Enthusiastic Crusad-
ers.
Freeman P. Lane has an idea on the
liquor question. 1t is nothing unusual
for Mr.. Lane to have an idea but this
one is so original that it is worthy of
publicity. He thinks that something
must be done and done soon to get rid
of the Prohibitionists and the enthusi-
astic individuals Tabled Briggs, Young,
Selover. etc. He would get rid of these
people through the medium of q state
law. The salient points of the law he
would have adopted are as follows:
No intoxicating liquor to be sold except on
the ground floor thus shutting up stairs res
taurants and basement dead-falls. The sa-
loon, sample room or bar TO have but one en-
trance, and that from the front No door to
lead from the saloon into any adjoining
room, except into closets of a certain size.
No chairs, stools or tables TO be kept in the
room. The bar to be located at q distance of
not over twenty-five feet from the entrance
and face the front door, No shades, blinds,
screens or other distractions to be placedbe
tween the front windows and the bar. 3s
He thinks that publicity would de-
stroy the rum habit. He is also firmly
of the opinion that the back room makes
more drunkardS than all other infiu-
enceS around a saloon. He argues that
men go into a saloon for one drink, hear
friends voice in the back room, go
back there to see him, and are drawn
into sociable little party only to 60

His eyes seemed to be staring intently across

of white face could be seen staring out into

THE WHISKY TRUST.
1t May Be Indicted by Chicago
Grand jury.

CHICAGO. Jan. 7.-Distrlct Attorney
Milchrist will make an effort to have
the next federal grand jury indict, for a
violation of the antitrust laws, the
Distilling and Cattle Feeding Company
of Illinois. otherwise known as the
whisky trust" located at Peoria. The
main evidence he has against the trust
is ''rebate certificate" forwarded to
him by the II. Alexander Drug aud
Seed company, of Atlanta, Ga. The
charge is that the trust has put up the
price of alcohol per cent, and then Of
fered rebate of per cent to those who
buy only from its agents and sell only
at such rates as it prescribes. This is
regarded as roundabout way of fining
every dealer who does not buy and sell
as the trust directs him.

No Truth in 1t.

The two local evening papers had
something last night about the financial
condition of the North Star association.
There was surprise in the publication
OF that matter-Surprise that these pa
pers had agreed for once. But, thei.
they are one on anything that will tend
to inJure Democracy. AS matter of
fact, there was not shred of truth in
the two stories. The North Star associ-
alton is i'll as good financial condition
as could be hoped for. Democrats are
not miilionaires, as rule, but they are
always able TO find the sinews of war.
And the North Star association is get

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-Speaker Charles
In 1S45 but was brought to this country
when child by his parents. who were
members OF family OF actors who for fif-
teen years before the war travelled
through the Southern States playing In
various cities. He attended the public
schools in Savannah and Macon, and at
the outbreak OF the war entered the Con-
federate army. where he received the ap-
poiptment Of lieutenant in a Virginia
regiment. He served for three years. at
the end OF which time he was captured by
the Northern forces and sent to Fort Della
ware, where he was imprisoned until the
close of tho war. His family we're then
living in Ellavills, Schley county, Ga.
After returning to his home he studied
law and was admitted to the bar. He
practiced In Ellaville for six years and
was then appointed solicitor general Of
the southern judicial circuit OF Georgia.
He moved to Amsricus In 1873, and four
years later was q Judge OF the Superior
Court. Some time afterward he resigned
his judicial position to enter a political
career and was elected to the Georgia As
sembly.
In 1882 he accepted the nomination to
Congress, and in 1888 he presided over the
Georgia Democratic State Convention.
He entered the House OF Representatives
at the beginning Of the session OF 1888. and
has served there ever since. He at once
took front rank, both as a worker in COM
mittees and as q debatvr on the floor OF
the House, where he was always at ease
He was rarely absent from his seat, and
displayed In all his speeches much thought
and research. beside clear and convinc-
ing logic. His voice Is clear and ringing
and whenever he rose In his seat to adj
dress the House he at once commanded
attention. Several times he has received
the we'll merited recognition OF his party.
This was notably the case at the opening
OF the Fiftieth Congress, when Speaker
Carlisle declined to appoint the Committee
on Elections on the ground that his (Mr.
Carisle's) seat was contested by Mr..
Thobe. Mr.. Carlisle, therefore, asked the
House to select the committee. Both par
ties appointed number OF gentlemen to
make the selection. The Democrats, being
In the majority, had the choice OF chair

They went into eject on the first OF the

Charles F. Crisp, Of Georgia; Samuel j
Randall, William S. Holman; General
Barnes, OF Missouri; General Forney,
Of Alabama, and Amos j. Cummings,
Of New York. Mr.. Crisp was their un-
animous choice OF chairman OF the
Committee on Elections, no other name
being mentioned. The significance Of this
selection is more apparent when 1t is con-
sidered that the House Committee on
Elections is one OF the most important,
taking precedence even OF the Ways and
Means Committee. He accepted the posi-
ton, by which he was virtually retired
from the craftsmanship OF the Committee
on Pacific Railroads, TO which place he
was entitled by the retirement OF Mr..
Throckmorton, and became the leader OF
his party In the House.
During the contested election cases In
1890. when Speaker Reed tried to suppress
the Democrats, Mr.. Crisp never lost his
courtesy.
Mr.. Crisp has a clear complexion. blue
eyes. and a straight. well formed nose and
brown mustache. His head is bald. and
his manners are refined and agreeable.
The charge that he favors a protective
tariff lie said to be untrue.
