He Believes 1t TO BE Disease Subject to

New YORK Dec 19.-Dr. Chauncey
H. Depew says ia a newspaper article on
tne topic s.Can Drunkenness be Cured-
Until recent years drunkenness was

other class. who drink purely for the
exhilararion Of spree and the stupor
which follows, are criminals. They
may be classed in the category of sui
cides.
s.My observation leads me To the con-
clusion, without knowing whether IL IS
the scientific explanation or not. that the
disease Is a craving appetite and paralysis

been induced to attempt the cure. It's
methods, of course, bring in the power
Of the law. First. arrest; then commit
ment by the Judge; then confinement
under restrictions, and, ultimately, dis

Pew men subj jected to this process con
tinue the so5riety. The assault upon
their self-respect seems to impair the ef-
feet Of the treatment upon the recovery
of their viii power. Ia most instances

Mr. Gardenhire has a taste for good

Some time afterwards he wrote play

NEVER WAS PRINTER.
Curious Predicament Ed Snow
is Placed In
By His Resignation of the State
Partnership.
A CHAIN OF ARGUMENT
Which Shows G. @. Baker to Be
Still Printer.
Other Political News The Pop
ulist Conference.
/ CHAIN OF ARGUMENT

The political gossips are today talking
about the resignation and reappointment
of state Printer Snow, which was first
announced IN last evenings JOURNAL
According to the gossips. State Printer
Snow is not and never has been state
printer, if his own line Of argument is
good.
One man who has been carefully
watching the case said today: If Ed
Snow was, prior to his appointment. a de
fdcto state printer, there must have been
an actual state printer who would have
been Cliff Baker If Snow never was
elected state printer, then he could not
resign an Office which he never held.
and Governor Lewelling could not
appoint him TO ill a vacancy
which never existed. If this be true,
Cliff Baker is still state printer and if the
courts shall hold that SHOWS line Of
gument is good then they would also
hold that Baker could collect the emoi-
uments of the Office curing the last four
years from Snow. OF course Snow would
be entitled to the pay for the work ac
tually done but Baker could get iudg
menJ against him for the profits"
Some lawyers say that if Snow ever
held title to the office he lost it by re-
signing and can therefore be removed
when the Republicans elect a new state
printer in January, and will thereby lose
the legislative printing.

Kansas ROpulists VIII Never Consent to

There is much interest ia Populist cir
cles in the outcome Of the conference
which has been called BY Chairman Tau
beneck, to be held at St Louis next
week.
Tt is generally understood that the sill
yer question is to be the basis Of the
most discussion ia the conference.
The eastern leaders of the party are
anxious that the conference shall decide
to make silver the sole issue of the party
for 1896, letting the other demands of
the Omaha platform drop for the present
The Kansas contingent do not take
kindly to these suggestions, and IN fact
the Kansas POpuiists who attend the st.
Louis conference viii oppose the scheme
to make the Peoples Party distinctly

Many Of. the Kansas leaders are not
silverItes from principle, but-like Gov.
Lewelling admits himself to be-are

Gov. Lewelling saws he regards the
silver issue simply as q step in the right
direction and in saying this he voices
the sentiment of most Of the Populist
leaders IN Kansas.
Mrs. Lease says the three questions Of
land transportation and money are so
closely allied that one can not be settled
independent Of the other, and for that
reason she viii oppose the silver party
