n Protest From Denver Against Their

DENVER, Dec. 13.-rhe Chamber of
Commerce is circulating for signatures
memorial to Congress, protesting
against the passage of either of the bills
pending in the Senate and House con-
corning the reorganizatio II of the Union
Pacific ana Central Pacific Railroads for
the following reasons:
First-The bills ignore the interest of
| the people living in the west section OF
the country concerned in the matter
Second-Ehey extend the payments an
unreasonable time for d new country.
Third-The main consideration is how
to recoup the stockholders of these lines.
Fourth - The ockholders of the
branches OF the Union Pacific will be cut
of.
Fifth = They give the road undue
power in developing or retarding any
particular section Of country.
Sixth - They bestow Government
credit on corporations to enable them TO
borrow money at 2 and per cent per
annum.
The memorial closes with a petition
that the Government pay off the mort
cages on these roads and operate them
! hereafter on plan similar to that of the
Postofhce Department, in order that the
entire country may enjoy the benefits of
an honest administration without dis
tinction.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Kate Field last
night told the Third Ward Democratic
Club, which is conducting Campaign

prohibition is Incorporate. During her
talk she said: alcohol is in everything.
The Creator understood His work, and
let US accept the situation. In human
stomachs indigested food ferments and
alcohol results. Every dyspeDtic is a
walking distillery. Must they be abol-
ished? Ii so, a goodly number OF our
own race must perish. Total ahstainers
eat great quantities of sweets. These fer
ment, and the prOhibitiOnists themselves
form a grand Gordon of illicit distiller-

Miss Field said that the moderate use
of beer and wine, both pure, and the es-
chewing of liquors would promote true
temperance. High license and an upris-
ing against adulteration will result in
untold good.
