FlIE PROHIBIT IONISTS.-T Colum-
bia Record says that "a quiet confer
ence OF ProhibitiOnists was held in tn at
city Thursday night. Among those
present was Mr.. G.. g. Feathcrstone,
late candidate for Governor.
1t is little oarly to talk State poll
tics now, but the fact that q confer
enco was being held by the representa-
tives OF voters who came so near nom
mating their candidate last ycar lent
credence to the belief that prepara-
tlons wero being made for tho next
campaign.
Mr.. Thomas j. LaMotte stated this
morning that It was simply confer
ence OF certain gentlemen Interested
In tho cause and that the meeting had
no Official Significance. He said that
as the Prohibitionists distinctly wore
not a party, tho committee they had
during tho last campaign ceased to
exist when tho contest ended. How
ever, the Prohibitlonists propose to
make another fight next year and thew
will be thoroughly organized for the
contest, probably better than before
lt was for this purpose that tho con.
ference was held last night-to look
over the field and see what steps arc
necessary to keep Intact In each county

Tor more recruits to tho ranks.

duty Ia composed Of Messrs. T.. u

DEwHY'S REFUSAL Or THE HOME -
~ telegram from Washington says
that q private cableeram from Ad-
miral Dewey to friend In that city
expresses his unwillingness to accept
the donation OF home, but adds that
he would be glad to have any money
collected for his benefit used In the
establishment VI soldiers and sailors
home. 1t is added that the committee
having charge Of the fund will con-
tlnue their collections, and when the
sum originally intended to be raised
has been secured, decision will be
made as to its disposition. Tnis Is
equivalent to an abandonment OF the
undertaking. The sums contributed
daily had fallen so low that the pro-
ject had almost passed out of the pub.
lie mind. In order to give IL fresh
start plan was proposed OF asking
the national banks OF the country to
pledge themselves for the moderate
sum OF $25 each. Such call, backed
by u high official OF the Treasury De-
partmcnt, 1t was thought, would pro-
duce the amount required. Most
probably the movement will now col.
lapse, for, however worthy may be the
alternative charity proposed, such o
project docs not meet the intentions Of
the original donors. The whole
scheme was nonsensical, and, to use v
much abused word, un.American.
