without bias are prejudice will
soon convince man of ordinary
sense that the whiSkey ira fife
now as compared with the whiS
ke traffic under the the diSpen
sar, is something like this: Ii
quor used to be sold by the pint
and quart mainly through the
dispensaries; it Is now sod
tn ough the express Offices by
the gallon and key, while the re-
failing is done by the drink al
most everywhere as in the good
old barroom days. The. moon
sinners are of course getting in
their work unmolested. There
may be less drunkenness though
/ doubt it, under the present re-
gime than there was under the
dispensary, but what is the ac-
tual condition ? The poor man
cannot get his liquor from Geor
gia or North Carolina, but must
buy from the fellow who brings
it In by express or from the
moonshlner who peddles it ABOUT
the country. The rich man has
no such trouble and it makes lit
tie difference 10 him whether the
supply comes from the dispensaFt
or express office. How was this
situation brought about? 1t was
by the direction or under the or.
der of the whole democratic par
ty? On, no. Did itcome TO pass
by the votes of the prohibition
lists No. How then2 The
three elements opposing the dis
pensary, prohlbitionists, high Ii
cense men and moonshiners or
blind tigers, all combined to vote
the dlspensary out. To make this
the more clear | have prepared a
table which will Re understood
at a glance by any man who
reads it and which will show con
clusively this fac: that major
ity of the democratic voters IN no
one county have declared against
the dlspensary system and that
this prohibition which we now
have in these fifteen counties is
in no sense the will of the dem
ocracy. Why didn't the people
vote at these elections under the
Brice Law9 The answer is easy
Many OF them could not because
they were not qualified elect ors
and more of them would not be
cause they were disgusted by the
mismanagement and corruption
which have been shown to ext st
in the state dIspensary and in
some of the county dispensa-
ries.

pensary against the field and the
only complication likely to cause
trouble is the division among the
advocates OF those who want each
county to buy liquor for itsel
and OF those who think it can be
more cheaply and honestly done
through the state Dlspensary.
There is therefore danger OF the
dispensary forces being divided
INTO two factions and of the al
vocates OF the county dispensary
system aligning themselves with
the other three elements.

the liquor Is purchased at whole
sale by one board, shipped by

DoctrinaI Differences.

The doctrinal differences between
the Greek church, of which the Gar
is the head. and the Church Of Rome,
of which 1t was a part until the coun-
ell of Nice, in 1877, are: The Holy
Ghost proceeds from the Son as well
rs from the Father. This belief of the
Eastern church, which had It's metro
polls at Constantinople, caused the
split. The Greek church worships
angels, the secular clergy are enjoinsd
TO marry once, and with a virgin;
IDOLS are used, the doctrine of purga-
tory is rejected, baptism IL by INNER

The matters referred to are probably in
connection with the Chicago and North
western and the st. Paul railroads securi-
ties, of which the insurance company held
large amounts. Under its bylaws the COM
pany, II was believed, must remove the
stocks from its assets. and it could not
sell such large amounts of inactive stocks
without serious loss, and consequently
requested the trust company Of which /
am president TO take these stocks and hold
them until an advantageous sale could be
made. The books Of the trust company
show that these stocks We're taken.
subsequently, for some reason, the
holdings were changed into the form Of

the stocks were sold, with "A profit Of sew
