On Record For The Saloon.
Candidate Bryan Opposes
Prohibition.

In the Prohibition amendment cam
paign in Nebraska in 1890, Mr.. Bryan
repeatedly put himself on record as op-
posed to Prohibition, but during and
since the campaign of 1896 he has been
strangely CD unwilling to own his
words. Speaking for the Democratic
party at Lincoln, in October, 1890, as
reported by the New York Sun, and
by the Omaha World Herald, a Bryan
organ, he said:
"In our platform we have declared that
we do not believe that the social habits
Of the people are proper subjects for con-
StitutiOnal provision, and have expressed
our preference for the present high
license law, rather than the Prohibition
amendment which has been proposed"
The Voice telegraphed Mr. Bryan
asking him if the statement was cor
rect, and also telegraphed Voice rep
resentatives at various points where Mr.
Bryan was speaking, instructing them
to obtain a statement from Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan would make no statement.
On October IS, 1890, Mr.. Bryan
spoke in the Grand opera house in
Omaha. In this speech he referred to
the proposed Prohibition amendment in
the following words: "The dark cloud
of Prohibition" and on the next day,
the World Herald reporting him, said
that he said:
II endorse the position of the Demo-
cratic party when it says that the con-
stitution is not the place to bring in the
personal and domestic arrangements of
the people,"

Carrying He'll to Manila

The irrepressible William E. John
son is home from the Philippines, where
he spied out Uncle Sans expansion
liquor policy and peeped into a few
dozen army canteens. He represent
ed the New Voice and made some val
liable discoveries which a man with
less nerve would not have unearthed.
Mr.. Johnson, in an interview, said:
lone pay day at Manila I counted for
ty-five reeling soldiers in one block. Dur
ing three days there were not enough of
the soldiers sober to mount guard. Be-
fore our troops went to the islands there
were three saloons in Manila. Now
there are 400 saloons and beer gardens.
"An army officer told me as fact that
every transport returning to this coun-
try from Manila brought home from fif-
teen to thirty insane men, and that in
every case the insanity was caused by
intemperance. Excessive drinking in that
climate brings diseases which are always
difficult for the victim to rally under. Di-
rectly under General Otis in the govern
or's palace at Manila is canteen, and
the business that establishment does is
something appalling.
1T is not generally known, but the
canteens are now practically under the
direction of a trust. w. w. Brown,
wholesale liquor dealer of Manila, sells
the liquor to every canteen on the islands.
Brown loans money to the officers and
they dare not buy of any other dealer
So long as he holds the army trade his
pocketbook is open to them"

The state W c. T. .. convention,
in session at Mankato, adopted reso-
lutions expressing grief and indigna-
ton at our beer expansion policy and
calling upon the administration (which
cleaned the streets of Santiago and
abolished cock-fghting in Manila" to
put an end to the expectation of liquor
to Our new territory. The convention
also appealed to the president to en-
force the anti-canteen law. Greetings
were sent to John G. Woolley, with a
promise that the White Ribboners
would pray that his candidacy for presi-
dent might greatly hasten the over
throw of the saloon.

The Roar of Battle.


The roar of the navy's four point
seven's, their crash, their rush as they
passed, the shrill whine of the shrap-
mel, the barking Of the howitzers and
the mechanical, regular rattle of the
quick firing Maxims, which sounded
like the clicking Of many moving ma
chimes on q hot summers day, tore the
air with such hideous noises that ones
skull ached from the conclusion, and
one could only be heard by shouting.
But more impressive by far than this
hot chorus Of mighty thunder and pet
ty hammering was the roar of the
wind which was driven down into the
valley beneath and which swept up
again in enormous waves of sound. 1t
roared like a great hurricane at sea.
The illusion was so complete that you
expected, by looking down, to see the
Tugela lashing at her banks, tossing
the spray hundreds of feet in air and
battling with her sides of rock. 1t was
like the roar Of Niagara in gale, and
yet when you did look below not leaf
was stirring, and the Tugela was slip
ping forward, fiat and sluggish and in
peace.-From "With Buffers Column =

IN SELF DEFENSE.
Stock Inspector Stafford Killed John l
Elder.

StOcA inspector StAHOfO lA1llelt JOnM r.
Elder.
Further reports of the killing of John
P. Elder, at Culbertson, by Stock In
spector Stafford, show that the homicide
was committed in self defense, although
some of the people of Culbertson claim
that Stafford was too hasty.
Stafford had a warrant for the arrest
of Elder on a charge of driving live stock
from their usual and customary range
and attempted to arrest Elder.
Elder grasped the warrant and jerked
it out of Statfords hand and went for
his gun, saying that he would blow Stat
ford's head off. Stafford was .quicker
than Elder, drew his revolver and shot
Elder through the head, killing him in
stantly.
Elder was a hot headed man, partly of
Indian blood, and had the reputation of
being merry" although many cowardly
acts had also been charged against him
by his enemies. He was deputy sheriff
at Culbertson for several months, and in
that position made many enemies. Sew
eral months ago, he attempted to arrest
Nolan Armstrong, Charles Reed and sew
cral other cowboys who were shooting
up the town and in doing SO he killed
Armstrong and wounded Reed. This
cmbittered many persons against him
and he was tried for murder, it being al
legged that he shot from concealment, but
he was acquitted.
Stafford was formerly commissioner
of Valley county and has been engaged
in the sheep business for several years
He was appointed stock inspector only
a few weeks ago He has always borne
the reputation of being quiet, peace
able man. and has few enemies except
those he has made by his official acts
