Local Option Versus High Licence.


Mr. Greenwood said in the mass
meeting Monday night, that the
way to find out whether a law is
good or bad, is to enforce it. | for
one am ready to fully accept that,
and am willing that the compare
tive value of high licence and local
option shall be tested by it. En-
force the high licence or dramshop
law and you have drinking saloons;
enforce the local option law and
you have no saloons, no joints, no
saloon drug stores, nor any place
where intoxicants are sold. The
reason there is any traffic in intoxi
cants in Kirksville to-day is not
because the local option law is
bad, but because it is not enforced.
1t is sheerest folly to say that high
licence is more effective in sup
pressing intemperance than local
option, when according to the
speakers own declaration, we have
not had chance to find out tie
value of the local option law. 1t
has not been enforced. 1t will be
time to say which of the two is the
better when we have thorough
ly tested them both by enforcing
them For years the licence law
was tried in Kirksville. When !
fully in operation, it proved to be
a miserable failure, so far as pre-
venting Drunkenness was con-
cerned. What is the consequence
of license9 Verify the saloon has
made its record. Its history is a
history of drunkenness and degre-
dation, of felonies and misdemean-
ors, of crime and cruelty, of blood
and death; and it's curse like the
mode of warfare, practically the
Indian savage, spares neither age
nor sex. Now the citizens of Kinks
vile have said by their votes that
they want to try local option for
four years. The overwhelming
even of those who doubt
ed its wisdom and voted against it,
want to see that law enforced. All
this talk about the impossibility
of enforcing the law is nonsense
We have men in office who are
sworn to execute the laws which
the people have made. We have
a right to demand of them that
they be not slow to enforce any
law which the people have put
them in authority to execute.
Must a city of 5000 people humili-
ate itself enough to confess
hat the laws for the supervision
of crime shall be trampled upon
oy dozen or two of men, while
We all stand and look on helpless

POLITICAL POINTERS.

The man who could have pre-
vented Mr.. Cleveland's nomina-
tion in 90 is determined to prevent
his nomination in 80. That man
is Senator German. 1t is well
known that German had only to
say one word at the Democratic
convention of 80, and Mr.. Cleve-
lands nomination would have
been impossible. German wanted
that nomination himself, and
when a canvass of the convention
showed that while he could get
votes enough pledged to defeat
Cleveland, he could not get enough
to be nominated himself, he declin-
to allow the use of his name before
the convention and Mr.. Cleveland
was nominated. He wants that
nomination now Just as bad as he
ever did, and is determined to
keep Mr.. Cleveland out of it
whether he can get it himself or
not. His supporters are some of
the shrewdest workers in the dem
ocratic party and, like him, they all
dislike Mr. Cleveland. These men
are taking especial pains to inform
the democratic voters-by other
methods that the party papers
that it was the killing of the Will
son Tariff Bill, which was Mr.
Cleveland's own measure, and the
adoption of the German Brice
Tariff Bill, which was publicly
denounced although afterwards
signed under compulsion by M.
Cleveland, that saved the industri-
al interests of the country from
ruin and the National Treasury
from bankruptcy. The German
men are perfectly confident that
they can control more than one
third of the democratic convention
and defeat the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland or any man named by
him, even if they do not succeed
in nominating German. They are
not doing any talking for publica-
ton, but they are out for blood, so
to speak, and they are getting it,
too.

One of the few democrats who is
on visiting terms at Gray Gables
has written to Washington
friend saying that Ex-Governor
Campbell of Ohio, is no longer
persona grata to his highness,
Grover l. That lingo Fourth of
July speech which Mr.. Campbell
made before Tammany is what did
the business. 1t was taken as a
personal insult by Mr.. Cleveland,
anc coming from the source it did
1t was especially CALLING. Mr..
Campbell, in addition to having
been given the privilege of declin-
ing place in the cabinet, has con-
trolled to much greater extent
than any other one man the FEEDER
al appointments which have been
given to Ohio men under this ad-
mlnlstration, and his loyalty to
Mr.. Cleveland was confidently
counted upon. But that is all
over now, and if Mr.. Campbell
gets within speaking distance of a
place on the democratic national
ticket he will do so without anv
aid from Mr.. Cleveland or any
member of his administration. Mr..
Campbell passed through Wash
Ington on his way back home, but
he declined to discuss the effect
that speech had had or was likely
to have upon his relations with the
administration; but from the talk
of some of his personal friends it is
clear that his object in making the
speech was not only to announce
his candidacy for the presidential
nomination but to discount the eff
feet of the robust declaration in
favor of the enforcement of the
spirit and letter of the Monroe
Doctrine which everybody expects
to be made by the republicans in
congress very early in the next
Mr.. Campbell knows as
everybody who has given the sub
ject any attention does, that nine
tenths of the people in this coun-
try are opposed to the humble pie,
misunderstanding foreign pol
icy of the present administration;
hence his indirect condemnation
and reputation of it.
