See What the Business Men of
Have TO Say
To THE VOTERS OF ENNIS AND VICINITY:

We deeply deplore the fact that
another prohibition campaign has
been inaugurated in Ellis County.
But in justice to our prohibition
! friends we can say that the incep-
/ tion of the movement with all its
concomitant evils of strife and ran
cor and general bitterness is not TO
be found among those who have per-
who have the best interests of the
/ city or county at heart. Many pro-
/ hibitionists regret 1t as much as we
/ do. And now let us serve notice on
our friends the prohibitionists-
/ that whatever discord and division
may be engeudered in a heated cam
/ paicn, the blame and responsibility
must not be laid at our door, for we
have neither desired nor sought it,.
In fact, We have done everything to
avert il.
But, accepting things as we find
them, we pledge ourselves TO do
| everything in our power To cause as
little strife as possible. Let the
issue be as 1t may, we must still
/ live together, and, possessing "A
common interest III the town and
community, we must strive together
for their dvancement.
We would like to submit a few
facts, however, for the unprejudiced
voter to consider. Prohibition is in
operation in all the precincts in the
county except Ennis, Waxahachie,
and Palmer. The county then is
practically prohibition county, and
we would emphasize the fact that, II
prohibition is defeated, all sections
that now have prohibition in force
now have it. The question was
passed upon in the case Of exparte
Charles Cox, reported in the Twenty
eighth Criminal Appeal report,
where the following decision was
rendered:
The failure to carry prohibit
ton i'm the entire county would
leave the status OF any subdi-
visions OF the county just as ii
was before the county election
was held. II local option already
existed ii would still remain in
force"
I bus it will be seen that the local
option law now prevailing gin any
| Justice precinct, or other subdivision
of the county, would not be re
peaIed, or in any way affected by
the failure to carry prohibition In
the county election. Then, i'm the
name Of all that is fair and right,
when they have what they want,
why do they seek To dictate to the
/ few sections where prohibition is
/ not i'm force what manner Of law
/ they shall live under2 1t is fia-
grant violation of the great princi-
pie of local self government which
southern democrats have fought for
always and at all times, and we do
not think fair minded people will
force it upon us.
Let us consider the moral phase
of the question. If prohibition
should be successful it will not
bring about the moral reformation
its advocates claim for it. 1t Is as
serted that it will be great thing
| for our boys. Now, when We had
prohibition in former years, Ii was
such a farce that it might have
been pronounced ludicrous If ii had

IN PROGRESS.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


Montreal, Aug. S.-The reported combination
between the Dominion Iron and Steel Company
and the English corporation excited renewed
interest here to-day when dispatch from Lon
don was published confirming the project
There is tendency in some quarters TO discredit
the confirmation on the ground that 1t contains
additional matter which is known to be absurd.
This is the introduction OF the Canadian
Pacific and Grand Trunk railways into the
story Both companies repudiate any conpec-
ton with such combination, and the idea that
such thing was probable seems TO be founded
on misapprehension due, doubt to the want
of knowledge of the circumstances connected
with the industry
The statement that the well known frnls of
Bolchlow, Vaughan & Co. and Sir Christopher
Furness are also associated with the undertak-
ing has excited suspicion in some quarters and
given rise TO the impression that the confirma-
tlon, although purporting to come from the Br-
mingham correspondent of THE Times" may
have been circulated for speculative purposes
on the stock exchanges. But with respect to
the Anglo o-Canadian steel combination IL may
be expected that there will be repeated affrma-
tions and contradictions OF the report This
arises from the natural reluctance of prInci-
pals who are in possession of the facts TO give
publicity TO them while delicate and difficult
negotiations are in their initiatory stages
Il
dispatch had been received stating that a
member of the firm of Guest Keen & Co the
corporation who are seeking the Canadian alli-
ance, had given a denial to the report Such
denial should be received with as much reser-
walton the confirmation from the Rirming-
ham correspondent of The Times" The prin-
cipals are not at all likely to give out the true
facts at the present stage Negotiations have
been opened with view to combination but
there difficulties in the way particularIy
the question of valuation. The position simply
remains as 1t was three days ago and the be-
lief is that II will be some months before the
formation of the combination is completed
special dispatch from Sydney quotes A r.
Whitney. former director of the Carnegie
Steel Company. as saying that he was not sur
prised 10 learn that movement was on foot
TO amalgamats the English and Canadian steel
companies There was room for such a corpor-
alton, but he did not think it's creation would
materially inJLre the United States Steel Trust.
Another sydney dispatch states that all the
cape Breton directors of the Dominion Steel
Company are in conference there and that a
private telegram from Sault Ste Marie brings
the Information that F. II. Clergue Is on his
way to Sydney.

Washington and Annapolis established to-day
by wireless telegraphy under the auspices of the
NAVY Department. Some months ago Lieutenant
Hudgins was sent to Europe to procure the appa-
ratus of as many different systems possible for
experimental purposes here. He returned about ten
days ago with duplicate sets of apparatus of four
systems, not including the Marconi system. Nego-
tiations with Marconi for sample apparatus failed.
By direction of Admiral Bradford, Chief of the
Bureau of Equipment, Lieutenant Hudgins proceed

interchanged for the first time. The distance from
Washington to Annapolis is about thirty-hve miles
and the exchange of signals on the first attempt is
considered encouraging In this initial stage Of the
tests the question of interference from stray cur

The other systems will be tested in succession and
