The politicians are very little con-
cerned over the prohibition move

self. The first evening Of the -conven-
ton called to consider plan of action
for forcing constitutional prohibition
by an amendment after statehood is
attained, did not bring out as large an
attendance or as much enthusiasm as
the ardent temperance advocates
desired or had reason to expect. There
rs a respectable prohibition following
in Salt Lake city and it is surprising
S1eaat they were not drawn out to take
55art in this cause
However, it appears that the lead
erS and the rank and file are not by
any means a unit on the question.
it is believed, by some of those who
were most active in the work before
the constitutional convention, that it
IS hardly time to start to amend the
constitution before that instrument
has been adopted, and they do not
think it wise to bring such distract
ing issues into the field. However,
those who were instrumental in bring
ing the convention together, believe
thai they cannot start work too early.
and that there is a. possibility of
bringing the women vote to their aid
as soon as politics settle down square

ability that the different ideas will
be brought into at least semblance
of harmony, and that a considerable
showing will DC made. But so long
as this movement continues, it will

One on the Omaha bee.

A Mr.. Peyton said he had seen high IL
cense work in Nebraska and also the
working of local option. He said that the
saloon men are interested in making peo-
under prohibition. He had been told by a
Nebraska saloon man that the Ome ha
Bee was paid 5000 to keep it in line. The
newspapers of Nebraska are all under the
whisky ring. The newspapers in Salt
Lake are fair. They will publish commu-
nicationS on prohibition.

The Dispensary system.

Rev. W. Hunt, Of Park City, by permits
sion, read paper on the dispensary sys-
tenn of South Carolina. He said the only
way to crush outthe evil Of the traffic is
to remove the item of individual profits
The prohibitive law has not yet been
successful. The dispensary system will
destroy the item of individual profits: 1t
for packages may not be opened by the
dispenser or the purchaser on the prem
ises. 1t insures purity Of the liquor, for
the government stamp is placed on every
package. 1t removes the enticements of
the saloon, with all it's debauching ac-
compartments. Liquor is to be sold only
are prevented. It is to be sold only for
cash, and there will be no marking up on
the slate to be fixed at some future date.

Give 1t a Trial.

Constitutional prohibition means that
a vast majority of the best people vote
in favor of it. Therefore it cannot be
wrong. Legislative prohibition will not
allow a fair trial Laws are always
subject to the caprice of subsequent
legislatures. The life of such a body
Is seldom more than two years. A pro-
hibitory law could not be given a fair
trial before another body comes into
beng. Give prohibition a trial for one
fourth the time we have been trying
local option and high license and if it
does not demonstrate it is ten times
better than either, then the advocates
will cease their efforts.
There was some further impromptu
discussion of the subject. Rev.
McNiece said he did not want a
prohibitory law. He wanted the
principle incorporated in the
very heart of the constitution. In most
of the states where there have been laws
they have been repealed, but only one
constitutional provision has met with
that fate. High license means monopoly.
1t has proved so in Salt Lake.

Qualifications, you say? I guess he
has enough to suit US. First and fore
most, he is 4 straight free silver man,
10 to 1. without any shenanigan about
waiting for foreign countries to come

made this apparent. He is a prosper
Gus farmer and has the confidence Of
the granger class. I think the farm
ers would like to vote for him for the
novelty of having one of their number
in the White House. He is the author
of the Indiana state tax law, which
makes railroad and other corporations
pay their just share of taxes, and is
deSerVedly popular with the laboring
men on this account. But he is no
crank. During the coal mine strike
and the strike Of last summer he put
down all lawlessness with a. firm hand,
wfthc'lt in the least interfering with
the right of the men to strike peace
ably. As there were no available
funds TO pay off the militia he Dor

constitutional Prohibition.

George F. Goodwin discussed "the
merits of constitutional prohibition. !"
He said he would give his approval to
such a license system as would prohibit
drinking of liquor in saloons The
state is no better than the general
average of voters. Therefore anything
which will help elevate the voters
should be put in the organic law
Blackstone says law should make good
easy and evil hard. License makes the
government a partner in the business,
legitimizing it for part of the profits
The relation of the saloon to the state
is vastly more important than free
silver. While monetary conditions cast
a cloud on business, still they do not
operate to destroy the government.
Intemperance does.

favors it. These two things make it
suspicious.

Only saloon Men object.

The moderate drinker could not object
to this system, because he could secure
his liquor. The man who pleads for the
liberty of his fellow men could not OBJ
ject. The man who is mean enough :. TO
want his inebriate neighbor to pay his
taxes could not object, because under the
system all the profits of the business, and
not part go to the state. The sober
element would be united in it's favor. only
those who make money out of the liquor
traffic could oppose it.

been offered to the dispensary system is
the claim that it makes the state a sa-

THAT GERMAN EMPEROR.

The most picturesque of all the
worlds rulers, not excepting the un-
speakable. potentate of the Bosphorus,
is William of Germany. He is ever
saying and doing the most surprising
things, original and unique and often
shocking. The crowned heads of the
world behold and wonder. That lie
often strikes a popular chrod is not to
be wondered at, but that some of his
ostentations and exravagancies do not
result seriously is wonder. One of
the instances in which his pyrotechni-
cal style hit the bull's-eye was his vio-
lent railing at the German Social Dem
ocrats on Sedan day seems to have
done them good turn. and in the nick
of time. They were just then incur
ring great unpopularity on account of
the resolutions passed by some of their
committees against the national cele-
bratiOnS Of the war of 1870, on the
ground of the solidarity Of the inter

ton of them as unworthy to bear the
name of Germans, and his practically

at once caused a reaction. People re-
Elected that the Social Democrats,
when all was said, polled vote larger
than that of any other German party.
They reflected, too. it is probable, that
a good part of that large vote was due
to the growing disgust of the German
nation with the antics of their war
lord. and that it was a grave question
in many minds whether it was not
more important to put straisht-jacket
on him than to go to shooting the So
cialists. AT any rate. Wilhelm seems
TO have rushed in most OPPORTUNITY for
the Social Democrats, and 10 have
done all in his power TO rescue them
from an awkward situation.
