THE WORLDS VIEW.
A GRAPHIC REVIEW OF THE SOUTHERN POLITICAL SITUATION FOR
 1896.
The Great Newspaper Regard The PopuIlat
 Party As Defunct Concern.
New York W orIdl.


 The Arkansas Populists are vast ing breath when they invite southern Democrats to join them in forcing party reorganization and the general changes which some regard as in evitable in Southern politics. The southern situation has already taken the shape it is likely to hold through the next presiaenta campaign Southern Democrats who favor the free coinage ot silver will not invite the cooperation Of populists, nor Mill they openly engage in any gen efal demonstration under popular leadership. At the present time the Populist party is not wasting even much breath on it's own followers, let alone the lost and forsaken mem bers in the Democratic party. It seems to have read the writing on the wall without any trouble, and is retiring from business before the final crash comes. It may revive yet, but the signs now are unfa~or- able. But when it comes to the Populists getting the Democrats to forsake their own and come over and play in their yard the latter will never do it. Lots of Democrats have joined the Populist party, but there were plen ty left in the South to keep the Democrats on top. And since the free silver question is the a,l-ab- sorbing question new, and the Demo cratic party is as much Q champion of it locally as the Populists, there is still less hope of more Democrats going over.
 Free silver is all the Populists have left. Andon that one question they talk about aristoerats, plutocrats and Wall street just the same as when they had for their text government ownership'of railroads and telegraph They have practically dropped all such things now and are hanging on to free silver like drowning man to a straw. But they cannot catch Democrats with that bait, as the lat ter are for free silver in all their
  platforms and stump speeches, but when iteomes to an election they elect a gold bug like Cleveland, or when it comes to legislation they do away with silver purchasing act and leave nothing in the place. If even break comes in the solid South it will be by way of the Republican party. A few years ago the Popu- lists were going to bust the solid South so hard the whole world would be startled by the report. But it didn't. Today West Virginia, Mis- souri, Kentucky and Tennessee are nearer the Republican party than the Populists. There will be more Popu- lists go back to the Democratic party next year than there will go to the Populists' rank from the other side. The Republican party will carry more southern states than the Popu- lists in 1896.

Local Option in Eaton County.

Hon. j. l.. McPeek, judge of probate of
Eaton county, and one of the best known
and most highly respected citizens in Central
Michigan, has the following to say con-
eerning the operation of local option in
Eaton county:
"The best and most successful law l ever
had anything to do with. We have had
over 80 cases in the county and only four
acquittals. Our first conviction was that of
the proprietor of the King Bee saloon, of
Charlotte, who was fined $500, when twenty
two others pleaded guilty and paid fine of
$500 each. Fifty-one others paid an aggre-
gate fine of $46.10; four were acquitted;
nine nolle pressed; one was sent to Ionia
for two years; one to the same place for
twenty months; two were sent to the house
of correction for six months; one to Jail for
thirty days and one to Jail for twenty days.
Fifteen more cases are now pending, in ten

who are in darkness upon this question.
send them down here and we will give them
light"
A correspondent of the State Republican
in referring to the above and its author says:
"With those who know that Judge Nc
Peek has been resident of Eaton county
from boyhood, that he has been practicing
attorney for nearly twenty-five years, was
member of the legislature OF 1879, and has
always stood among the most highly re-
spected citizens of the county, the above
statement of facts will be convincing proof
Of the falsity of the oft-repeated reports that
local option is failure in that county.
Local option was carried in Eaton county
at the first election by 1000 majority, and
two wears later (the election being brought
on by the saloon-keepers and their friends)
it was carried by $500 majority, which also
throws to the wind all the talk about Eaton
county being tired of the measure"

Local Option in Allegan County.

The Alegan Gazette upholds local option
and insists that it is success in that coun-
ty. In referring to the charge that as much
liquor as ever is sold the Gazette says:
"There is not as much liquor as ever sold
in Allegan county. There is not one tenth
rs much sold as was retailed under the old
law. There is a corresponding decrease
in drunkenness, in nearly or quite every
town and hamlet in the county, and the
money which was spent for liquor now goes

families or individuals. Nor is the enforce
nent of the law expensive. 1t can be dem
onstrated land the Gazette will soon give
the figures in detaiD that the amount of

or nearly in that proportion, the costs of the
prosecutions. Instead of being source of
expense, therefore. it Is source of income

these claims of great expense. They are

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 19.-Philadelphia
is all but at the mercy of gang Of hood

forty-eight hours old. Last night not q
street car of the Union Traction company
was running and that company
ception of two comparatively short cross
town lines. The police were absolutely
unable to control tho mob violence. From
early morning until dusk, as each branch
line made desperate efforts to start, howl
ing mobs surrounded each car, stoned and
hooted the motorman and conductor,
smashed the windows, cut the trolley
ropes, and wreaked all possible dcstruc-
tion. Then the attempt was abandoned.
The strikers took little, If any, part In
the work of destruction. This was in the
hands of the inevitable rowdy element.
Many persons were injured by flying mis-
siles and there is fear that when complete
reports have been received they Will in
clude fatalities, and thousands Of dollars
worth of valuable property was destroyed.
Compared to the events of the day the
streets last night were quiet, although
filled with surging crowds.
Five hundred extra policemen were
sworn in by Mayor Warwick last night,
and these, with the regular force of 2, 100,
will make an attempt to quell the rioters
today. They have orders from Mayor
Warwick to carry their batons unsheathed.
Should this fail the governor will be asked
to order out the militia. The city's execu-
tive declared last night in unmistakable
terms that the strike is no longer contest
between railway company and its en-
ployes, but a battle between the city and
violence, and the city will win If it takes
the United States army.

The people of Battle Creek, Mich, are
talking of the wonderful cure of Henry
Weston, of 6S South Avenue, who doctored so
long with some of the best physicians in the
country and failing to find relief, took DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and was
permanently cured. John r. Linihan, of

prietors of the White Drug Store was seen

many others that had been reported. Mr..

cured by these pills. We sell large amount
