Grant and the Third Term.

From The Voter: General Grant.
returning from triumphant tour
of the world, was induced by his
friends to believe that it would be
possible to receive the nomination
for third term.
In the Republican National Con
vention of 1880 there were 756 dele
gales. 1t required 379 to nominate
On the first ballot Grant had 30i
votes. On the thirty-sixth ballot he
had 306, but James Garfield had 800
and was nominated president.
Grant had a majority of the dele
gates from New York, Pennsylvania
Illinois and Missouri. He had many
of the Southern delegates. But he
had not enough to overcome the
third term prohibition.

The Price of paper.

An increase of ten per cent in the
price of paper, except newspaper
and manila, has been announced by
wholesalers. The advance is charged
to the increased cost of labor result
ing from the recent labor troubles
in the North. This excuse is better
than the admission that the Paper
Trust will continue to bleed the con-
sumer. Newspaper and manillas eX-
cepted now. will be advanced ac-
cordingly. The high price of liv-
ing" and the steady advance in the
price of material neededful by the
people, is the result of the system
of protection devised and main
tanned by the Republicans. How long
will the masses tamely submit to
being robbed under the guise OF
law?

NEAR BEER.
Sale of the Beverage TO Be Made
PrOhibitOry-As Revenue Meas

It is stated in telegram from
Baton Rouge that an attempt to
drive near beer and similar drinks
out of prohibition territory will be
launched in the House within few
days by Representative Ed R. LOe Of
BienviIe Parish. Under the inter
prctations given the law by the Su-
premr Court, beverages containing
less than two per cent alcohol are
not "intOXicating,' and may be sold
without license in dry territory.
Under the guise of containing less
tIIan two per cent, bad beer and
bad Whiskey is brought into dry
sections and peddled almost with
impunity because of the difficulty
in catching the viOlatOrs, it is
claimed. In order to meet this sit
uatiOn, Senator Jones collaborating
with Representative Loe and others,
has prepared a bill to license the
sale in prohibition territory of
liquors containing less than two per
cent alcohol. Wholesale dealers are
required to pay licenses as follows;
business of $4,000 per annum or
more, 500 license fee: business OF
5000 per annum, S75 license fee;
business Of less than $1,000, $50 fee.
Retail dealers are required TO pay
500 for business of more than
$1,000 per annum; 5000 for business
of $4,000 to $1,000 per annum, and
5000 for business of $1,000 or less.
This charge will be prOhibitOry
and will wipe out the establishments
now handling this grade of intOXi
Cants, Senator Jones believes. The
bill is 10 be introduced in the House,
bCin ga revenue measure.

CITIZENS PROTEST.
Another Track Projected ON Com
merce Street.-The Reviying OF an
Old Proposition.

1t is proposed to lay another track
on Commerce street, to which OWN
ers of property on that street are
objecting seriously.
This additional track is desired by
the Kansas City Southern, for which
no compensation or remuneration Is
offered the city.
About two years ago there was an
effort at securing such a track on
this street, but the opposition was
so strong that it was withdrawn.
The railway company is striving
secure through the Council the au-
thOrity for the requirement of this
trackage on this street which has
been met not only by the remOn-
STRANGE but by the protests of not
only the property owners but a
number of citizens who have tired
and are opposed to giving valuable
grants to corporations simply for
the asking.
The assertion is ventured that II
some citizen had requested such a
right as that of the railway com
pany, he would have been laughed
to scorn by the Council of the city.
1t is time halt was being called
vigorously and decidedly against the
grants of privileges of streets to
railways and corporation simply for
the asking.
It was believed that the city had
already given away all the things
worth having, but this was a mis-
take. We had forgotten that the rail
roads, if they could and had the
privilege to do it, would cover Com
merce street with tracks.
Commerce street nor other streets
should be incumbered with tracks,
which, while directly beneficial to
the railways, are more or less detrl-
lrental to the interests of indiVid-
uals and in particular the people.
The Caucasian has been Informed
tat vigorous protest was submit
ted verbally this morning at the
Council meeting in. opposition to
this track.
1t is safe to say that the people
will not stand for it, and the eau
casian would suggest its withdrawal
in order to avoid trouble in a pub
tic agitation which is not desired.
