THE PRoHIBiTIoNIsTs.

From the New York Times
 The national convention of the prohibi- ton party next year will be held in Co., lumbus, O. The date was, not fixed at the meeting of the national committee in Chicago last week. There will be 1908 delegates, four from each state and terri tory. two from the District of Columbia, and one additional delegate for each 200 votes cast for the prohibition candidate in 1904 XII the liquor traffic. is the watchword of the prohbitionists. They were never more aggressive or more hopeful of making their influence felt.
 In 1904 the prohibtionists cast 25S, 556 votes in a total vote of 13,520,521. Not a great showing, to be sure. But the sentl- ment against the liquor traffic has since grown enormously. though there is no in dication that all the men who have voted for the prohibition or restriction of the manufacture and sale of liquor in the various states will vote for the prohibition national ticket In 1908.
 Even in those states where the anti liquor movement has been most vigorous, much more important issues will engage the attention of voters in the approaching national contest. Nevertheless, the prohi- biton party has never before reached a position quite so dignihed as it now holds.

Tennessee and inc Primary

Every state controlled by democrats has adopted the primary plan for selecting state officers, but now comes the Patterson Frazier machine in Ten nessee with a denial of the right of the democratic voters to act directly. Ten nessee conventions are afflicted with contesting delegations, and the ma chine. holding control of the state ex- ecutive committee, proposes to hold convention, the delegates to which will be selected in way that admits con testing delegations. The state com mittee will make up temporary roll call. and the machine will therefore organize the convention.
 The people of Tennessee may like the Patterson Frazier combine better than the Carmack-Bob Taylor opposi- tion. It is their buiness to select next year candidate for governor. But It is also their business to see that gov ernment of the people by the people for the people is firmly established.
 The race for governor is between Governor Patterson and ex-Senator Carmack. Mr. Carmack favors a pri- mary, and Governor Patterson prefers a convention. It is case of the 1ns against the outs, but the outs in Ten nessee stand for direct action by the people, and Governor Patterson stands for machine control. The people may be heard from. They may strike at the man who stands for convention and against fair expression or the popular will at the ballot box.

Unrest In Puriunal

Portugal is decadent nation, but there is life enough left in it to pro- test against absolutism. The two par ties of the country are the regenera sores or conservatives, and the pro gressistas, both full of corruption and jobbery. Three-fourths of the people are illiterate. In such a country real reform has small opportunity.
 Premier Franco, who is King Carlos right hand man, recently dissolved the cortes, with the ostensible purpose of conducting the government without the aid of the representatives of the peo. pie. The prime minister is considered an honest and a capable man, but the dismissal of the cortes gives the politi- clans a chance to arouse the people. This they are doing, and Portugal is on the eve of revolution.
 The population of the country is but b.423,132. and the debt of the country

FACTS ADMITTED
 BY POWERS COUNSEL

Georgetown, Ky, November 29.-At the afternoon session of the Powers trial, Dr. K. F. Hume of Frankfort testified as to the nature of Goebefs wound. post-mor- tenn examination, etc.
 R. H. Berryman, the third witness in- troduced, said he was an eyewitness of the tragedy The witness said he was entering the state house grounds when he saw Senator Goebel and Col. Jack Chinn walking a short distance in front of him. He heard a shot which, he said. apparently came from the window of the secretary of stste's office. The clothing worn by Goebel, when he was shot, was brought into court for Identification by Dr. Thomas R. Weleh, the fourth wit ness of the day.
 The defense this afternoon sought to mitigate the effect of the testimony as to the place from which the shot was fired which killed William Goebel by statement to the effect that while not wishing to curtail the volume of test- mony to be introduced by the prosecu- ton, yet to save time to the court the de- fense would be willing to admit that the fatal shot was fired from the office of the secretary of state, admit that the bullet lodged in the hackberry tree, admit the nature of the wound, and that Goebel died of it.

Protection For Depositors

The press of the country, especially the independent press, Is receiving MT. Bryan's plan for overcoming the Roosevelt panic with no small degree of favor. Some" says the Chicago Record-Herald have eagerly indorsed 1t as a measure which would contrib ute powerfully toward the restoration of confidence. Others see merit in it's principle while pointing out omissions, difficulties, objections, and winding up with the declaration that the plan de- serves serious study, both by Congress and by the banking community"
 The plan calls for government guaranty of deposits in the national banks, the government to be insured against loss by a tax imposed on the banks. This simply makes a strong combination of the national banks, and the benefits would far outrun the cost. The history of 40 years shows that the proposed tax would be less than one tenth of 1 per cent of the aggregate deposits.
 The benefits to the national banks would be so great that the state banks are alarmed by the proposition, but MT. Bryan points out that each state bank could give like guaranty to it's banks. The plan in it's entirety calls for the insuring of deposits in the na- tional banks by the government, and in the state banks by the states, re- spectively, the risk in each case to be duly paid for just as risk by fire, burglary or accident is paid for.
 If Mir. Bryans plan is rejected the banks in self-defense and to prevent flurries will yet have to form con- bination on similar lines. In cities they are combined through clearing houses, and the savings banks of New York state are today working on a plan that involves mutual help and CO., operation, which may be said to be the basic principle of MT. Bryan's plan.

is about $70O, ,O00,O0O The bright side is found in rich provinces, but even with the aid of these Portugal is not prosperous.
 Senhor Franco, in endeavoring to bring receipts and expenditures to- gether, has offended many politicians and eourtiers, and this together with the arbitrary course of the King has put the little kingdom in condition that borders on revolution. Prince Luiz, the crown prince, has been banr ished, and the country is weighed down with political and economic troubles.
 The cortes may be reconvened, how ever and possibly Premier Franco will find way to secure it's sanction of his reform projects. At present affairs look dark in Portugal, but it is gener- ally darkest just before day.

FINANCE TAKES LEAD.
Congress Will Face Money Problem
 Early In the Session.

Washington, November 29.-As the day for the opening of tie Sixtieth Congress approaches, it becomes more and more ev- ident that the financial question will re- ceive first consideration at the hands of that body. The members of both houses who have already arrived In the city con fess that the sitiauon is diificslt cne, and there has get 5ron vnry little c,ys- utilization of though. on the subject. A number of informal conferences have al- ready been held, and more must be held before anything like a programme can be announced Senator Aldrich, chairman of the Senate committee on finance which committee will have to deal with the question, is expected in the city stomor- row to take up the question with the house leaders, Allison and Speaker Car- non, who are now here. There is a ten dency toward having the proposed legis- ,lation originate in the Senate instead of the house, because the Senate is organ ized and the house is not but 1t is too early to say definitely what may be done in that respect.

TALK IT OVER.
Men Indicted For Bribery Go to the
 Sheriff to Talk 1t Over.

A delegation of the men recently in dlcted for bribery in the sensational case brought on through the sheriff's office, held a consultation with Sheriff Higdon yesterday morning with a view of dis cusslng the condition of matters.
 Among many other questions they asked Colonel Hgdon if there had not been money turned over to the deputies that had never reached the sherlff's office. Colonel Higdon told them that if such was the case he did not know of it, but that if it were true he would not hesi- tate to prosecute the guilty deputy.
 The parties interested were told by Colonel Higdon to swear out warrants and bring them to the sheriff's office. '1f I have not deputy at hand l will go out and serve the papers mysef,' said Colonel Higdon.
 It is believed that the consultation held yestreday is the beginning of hard struggle between the sheriff and the men who have been indicted on the charges oi bribery. From all appearances the fight will prove a long and bitter one. It is expected that the cases will be set for trial in January or February.

WHALES ARE PLENTIFUL.

From the Washington Herald
 Captain Porter, of the steam whaler Beluga, which arrived from the Arctic Wednesday with 16,Oo0 pounds of bone, 72 fox skins and one bear skin. confirms the report from Unalaska that the other ships of the fleet are safe and are coming home with big catches. Captain Porter, who has been going to the Arctic for many years, says that never before were whales so plentiful at this season. Nine whales fell before the harpoons of the Beluga's whalesmen. Captain Porter added that he never saw the whales so wild. There were thousands of them, but they were very hard to catch. The Belu- ga lost four whales which had been hal pooned. In each case the wounded man. maj took refuge under the ice. which ne- cessitated cutting the line that held him prisoner.

RUSSIANS AMAZED
 BY PREMIER'S WORDS

St. Petersburg. November 29.-The decla- ration of the government, read by Pre- mier Stolypin before the douma today, was received with dismay by the October ists and the constitutional democrats and open exultation by the members of the right party.
 The keynote of the address was on the idea that autoeratc power is the sole guarantee of security and welfare in an era of disorder The announcement also was made that the douma is expected to take It's cuej from the administration in the matter jof legislation. and the pre- anier outlined what future legislation was expected.
 r He execrated the federal parties as fosterers of crime and sedition and said their excesses would no longer be tol- erated in Russia
 The premier was constantly interrupted by applause from members of the right. but at the conclusion of his address there was scarcely a handelap from the De- toberists ranks. After a-short recess the general session was opened.

LOOK INTO RIsBIN's DEATH.
coroner's Jury Gets Busy and Will B.
 at Work Several Days.

There were no new developments in the case of the mysterious death of Joe H. Risbin yesterday. Risbin. it will be recalled. was found dead in box car in the rear of the Wimberly-T Thomas Hard ware company's warehouse, on Avenue A between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets. early Thursday morning.
 The first evidence in the case pointed to a suicide but a post mortem exam mutton revealed no poison in the mouth or stomach It is the opinion of Acting Coroner W. s. Russell that he was mur- dered by heavy blow back of the left ear.
 The coroner's jury empanneled Thurs day afternoon to investigate the death of Risbin assembled yesterday morning in the coroner's office and began it's work. It will be several days, however, before they will render their verdict.
 U. s. Carper and Louis Donder, the two white men who were arrested Thurs day afternoon on suspicion, in connection with the death of Risbin, were com mitted from the city to the county jail yesterday morning on mittimus issued by Judge I.

Steel Rail Consumption

The railroads last year took 4,Oo5,- 900 tons of rails, and the consumption this year is estimated at 100000 tons Ii ia estimated that the consumption of 1908 will be about 3,000,OO0 tons. Retrenchment does not extend to steel rails except in new construction. On existing lines no railroad can afford to ruu trains over poor rails. Worn rails must be replaced in good times or in hard times.
 Just as soon as the new type of rails is determined it is believed large or ders for rails to be delivered Tn l9os will he placed. The experts say that 600 900 tons will be the minimum aggregate of orders, or about 70 per cent less than this years consumption.
 Open-hearth rails will be in demand, and the plant at Ensley is expected to turn out 400 900 tons as against pres ent capacity of 150,000 tons. The Beth- lehem plant will produce 100000 tons, and the Gary plant will begin to roll rails in September, 1908 Possibly 1 900 ,O00 tons of open-hearth rails will be produced next year. All the open hearth rails that can be rolled will be called for, and the sole doubt in the situation relates to the extent of the consumption of the discredited Besse- mer rails.

Dron In Meat Prices

Reduced consumption of meats In these times of depression led first to lower prices for live stock, and now news comes that the wholesale prices of all meats have been reduced. The reductions in Kansas City have ranged from 1 to cents a pound, and re- duction of 10 per cent on all meats and poultry has been made in Chicago.
 The retail dealers have not yet re- sponded. but they assuredly will, for the object of the reductions Is to in- crease consumption. The consumer will soon be benefited by a decline that was begun by Cudahy in Omaha and that has now extended to the en- tire trade.
 The decline in the prices of meats is the forerunner of similar declines in all other articles that will be re- ported speedily throughout the coun- try. All prices are at the apex, and all need the blue pencil, and all will speedily get what they need. A wave of reduction is sweeping over the coun- try, and only those articles will escape it that are wanted by other countries cotton for example. The home de- mand has lost it's supporting power, but the foreign demand is still a factor in the art of price-making.
