TO HELP THE PRoHIH1ToRY LAW.

Senator PETERS Bill is Attracting a Good
Deal of Attention,
From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Pef-
fer's bill! to aid in the enforcement of
prohibitory and other restrictive liquor
laws in the several states is attracting a
great deal of attention and exciting iu-
terest in all sections The measure, as
has previously been published in the
JOURNAL, prohibits the giving of tax re-
ceipts by United States revenue officers
to persons dealing in liquors contrary to
| the laws of the state in which they are
doing business.
reinforces state liquor laws by making
those breaking them also offenders
against United States laws.
The bill is an advantage not only to
states having prohibitory liquor laws but
also to those having local option and
high license. Evasions and disregard of
the law are of course not SO frequent in
the last two cases, but are sufficiently
numerous to make aids to conviction ac-
ceptable.
The legislature of Mississippi has
taken formal notice of this bill of Sena-
tor Peffer's by calling on the members
in con gress from that state to do what
they can to secure its passage. In addi-
tion prohibition workers are here max
ing poll of the two houses of congress
10 see what prospect there is of the bilI
becoming law
The only objection which has so far
been urged against the bill is that it will
decrease the revenues. 1t cannot be de-
termined exactly how much this loss
would be, but as any reduction of the re-
ceipts of the government at this time is
held to be unwise, this argument is likely
to be given more weight than it would
ordinarily receive, and more perhaps
than it deserves.
The senate committee, to which it was
referred, has not yet acted on the bill and
il is impossible at this time to determine
what its chances are for becoming a law.

MIGHT BE DAVID.
General Blair Talks of Kansas
Politics in Washington.
Says POpulists and Democrats
Might Unite
ON DAVID OVERMYER
For Governor-Republicans Not
Alarmed at Fusion.
Washington News of General
Interest in Kansas.

From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Gen. c. W.
Blair of Leavenworth, national Demo
cratic committeeman from Kansas, does
not expect that the Democrats and Pop
ulists will succeed in coming to an agree
ment regarding fusion.
The reason he assigns is that the Pop
ulists want too much and are not willing
to concede enough. "They are willing"
he said, ''to accept the addition of the
don't want to divide.
"If they should be willing to make a
decent division of things, then getting
together would not be difficult"
He said there was natural tendency
in minority parties to com bine against
the dominant party and that such an ar
rangement might be made in Kansas.
When it was suggested that steps had
already been taken toward fusion in
which the Democrats were to have the
candidate for governor, MIR. Blair said in
that case there would be no objection on
the part of the Democrats. He said fur
ther that he had heard some talk to
the effect that the Populists were willing
to support David Overmyer for governor.
He appeared to consider this decent
division" if it could be accomplished.
The prospect of fusion in Kansas is
not considered by some of the Kansas
Republicans at Washington a cause for
alarm. While some privately express
the belief that it would make the result
very doubtful, others profess to believe
that there is no danger at all.
A we'll known Kansas Republican who
is not member of the delegation said:
"As it is a presidential year l do not
believe fusion between the Populists and
Democrats would endanger the chances
of Republican victory at all. If they
got together it would make the fight a
little more interesting, that is all.
"Whenever a com bination is made it
has to-be done by concessions. The ticket
wouldn't be made up of all Democrats
nor all Populists and it is certain that
great many in each of these parties would
not relish voting for men who had abused
them and called their party all sorts of
names. Whenever a coalition of that
kind is made neither party is ever able
to deliver its entire strength and so 1 do
not believe fusion would be as formida-
BILE as it looks.
"Presidential years always bring out
the full Republican strength besides, and
there will be little question about our
beating them. We can carry the state
easily"

Communicated. |

When scanning the political horizon, all
are amazed at the appearance OF a
bright luminous star, as it continues to
ascend in it's zenith of glory, shedding
ustre all over this country, whose infu-
ence creates the bow Of promise, which
spans the heavens, giving comfort
to an oppressed people. This is the Star
of West, William Jennings Bryan, whose
earnest eloquence inspires the hearts of
the tOiling masses, with encourage
ment, and with all his power, pleads
most earnestly to arise as one man, and
assert their rights, as free American citi-
zens and to resist co the bitter end, the
iron heel OF tyranny, which has for years
crushed and oppressed them. There is
no instance on record, in our history as
a people, where any man whatever abil-
ity or patriotism he may have posses sed
has ever received from the people such
universal and unprecedented ovations as
has this young patriot, the nominee of
the Chicago convention, as well as the
PopuliSt and Silver conventions in st.
Louis. Like Moses of old, it seems he
has been raised up, and Amounted by an
especial Advise Providence to lead sui
ferlng people from worse than Egyptian
bondage, to a condition full of promise
and hope. And, il chosen by the people
as chief executive, he will inaugurate a
just and equitable government, by which
there will be no discrimination made
but each bear his proportionate part. of
taxes, and free the people from one of the
most despotic money powers the world
has ever witnessed.
Therefore, the people of all sections
render to him that respect and welcome
which has never before been accorded to
| any One-and why? Because the people
feel instinctively he is one of them; that
! his interest is identified with theirs: that
he is sincere and honest, and will do as
| he says; that his sympathetic heart goes
out in their behalf. Hence, the old COR
rupt, wire-pulling, fossiIized politician
has to get up and get" and make way
| Tor one IN whose nOStrils the old trick
! ster is a stencil. W. J. Bryan to a GER
| tain extent is Il savior to the country
| II. by corruption and bribery he is re-
lected by the people, and his teachings
| ignored the masses will force those in
power to give relief to the people The
| money power thinks it witnesses ex-
| element now but if relief does not come
they will hear the muttering of storm
| which will sweep all over the land and
| force relief. But it is the duty OF all silver
men, of all parties, to unite and march
shoulder to shoulder and cast their bal
lot for W. Bryan the patriot and lib
orator of his people NJ

MANY persons who whoop and hur
rah for Bryan, claiming ,e be advo-
Gates of the free coinage of silver, give
the lie to their professions when they
endorse gold bug candidates for the
Legislature and for Congress. As an
exchange aptly says, voters during this
campaign must not lose sigh, of the
fact that the election of a silver Pres
ident and Vice President is but half
Of the battle. A silver President and
gold Congress would mean death
blow to the cause OF free silver. 1t is
therefore the imperative duty of every
advocate of the free coinage of silver
10 vote only for silver men for the
Legislature to secure the election Of
silver Senator, and 10 vote only
for candidates for Congress who are
unquestionaDly friends and supporters
Of silver.
