law already has been ingrafted on the
prohibition system, allowing the open
ing of saloons under certain conditions.
In Kansas, where they also have begun
a Campaign for the resubmission of pro-
hibition, the saloon men point to the fact
that in the recent campaign the Repub-
lican platform for the first time in years
was silent on the liquor question, and
attribute to this silence the party's plu-
rality of $4,000. The local option cleo
tions in Massachusetts cities resulted d, as
a rule, in gains for license. In New
York there is also agitation for the sub
mission of the question of Sunday open
ing in the large cities.
The prohibitionists, therefore, who are
noted for their ag gressiveness, may find
themselves forced to take the defensive
in various quarters. II may be, too, that
when the radical temperance reformers
assume the aggressive again they will
be divided into prohibitiOnists and be-
levers in the Gothenburg system, which
has come much into notice since present
prohibitory laws were enacted, and
which, by the way, has been Endorsed by
w. Z. Gladstone The essence of the
Gothenburg is state or municipal owner
ship of the dram shops, and it is this
plan that has been adopted, with modi-
fcations, in South Carolina, and so Wig
Orously carried out by Governor Tillman
until the supreme court interfered with
his actions. Il is already clear that the
Gothenburg system is to attract much at
tention in this country before satisfac-
tory solution of the liquor question is
reached.

Golf, the counsel of the committee, SO a
great deal of the glory to be derived
from the Chicago investigation will
probably be secured by Lawyer A. s.
Trude, who has been retained as chief
counsel and prosecutor.
Alfred S. Trude has long occupied q
leading position at the Cook county bar
and has been particularly distinguished
as successful criminal lawyer. From
1878 to 1886 he defended "a men and
2women charged with murder Since
then he has avoided that sort of prac-
tice and has only taken six murder cases.
Mr.. Trude has also been prominent in
the defense of railroads and of newspa-
pers charged with libel. A year ago he
was engaged as leading counsel for the
state in the prosecution of Prendergast
for the murder of Mayor Carter Harri-
son.
Mr.. Trude's parents were English
and emigrated to this country in April,
1S47. Alfred was born on board ship
while the vessel was lying in quaran-
tine off the port of New York. The
family settled in Lockport N. Y, and
there young Alfred first went to school,
He was graduated from Union college
at Schenectady at the age of II and then
went to Chicago, where he studied law,
and was admitted to practice in 1871.
In 1868 Mr.. Trude was married to Miss
Algenia d. Pearson of Lockport.
Mr.. Trude is described by colleague
as ga fluent speaker, powerful in argu-
ment and possessed of a peculiarly pow
erful magnetism, which invariably
makes him one of the most successful
of jury lawyers and a dangerous oppo-
nent on the merits of a case. - His eff
forts have Hot been confined exclusive
ly to the law. and he has won local
fame as ''tne man who knocked out
mud pies" i'll the public schools. This
achievement was performed by virtue
of his position as president of the Chi
cago board of education, an Office which
he now holds

Letter Criticising Him Distributed in

New YORK, Jan. 6.-In the Madison
Square Presbyterian church this morn
ing an open letter, in part condemning
Mr.. Parkhurst himself, was distributed
among the congregation under the very
eyes of the doctor. The letter was signed
by Samuel Milliken of Philadelphia and
dated the last day of the old year.
In pointed terms the communication
gave DR.. Parkhurst advice in his cam
paign of purifying the city and boldly
stated that he had not always pursued
the right methods. The distribution of
the printed leadet apparently did not
disturb DR.. Parkhurst. He made no
reference to the matter.
