It has become recognized as indispens-
able to certain forms OF labor. Kansas
is one Of our Prohibition States, and
now the many thousands Of men en-
ployed in the mines there have informed
the Governor that unless he allows beer
to be brought into the state for their
use they will cave and will emigrate to
other states. where men are free. The
Governor is, therefore. up against a real
live proposition. IF he yields he rend-
ers himself liable to impeachment for
co-untenancing the violation Of the laws
of a Prohibition State. IF he stands
firm, ell the mines of the state and also
a very large number Of its factories will
stop work and the men wi, take their
departure for States tina are wet. The
demand for beer is affecting not only
Kansas, but is cropping out in nearly
labor district throughout the country.
particularly in the mills. where il is
practically impossible for a man to
work before hot ~urnaees without beer.

land should be permitted to get what he
wishes to eat and drink, no matter what
laws are passed for the regulation of
the stomachs Of those who do not toll.
I am heartily in favor Of the attitude of
the Kansas miner and would warmly
recommend it to the labor element of
the Whole of the United States. The no
tion OF National Prohibition is down
right folly and impracticable, and when

She took no ohense.

The Hague, Via London, Feb. 2t.- While official circles remain gravely calm, there has been an outburst of deep indignation by the Dutch news papers at what the Amsterdam Tele graaf calls blow in our face and the greatest humiliation to which a neutral state has been subjected"
 The paper adds:
 We confess inability to see how the honor of our nation can further be maintained by protests,
 Other less bellicOse papers reflect hardly less embitterment on the part of the whole nation against the latest example of German ruthlessness, while even German circles, it Is learn ed, profess deep regret at what they admit to be a "ghastly blunder."
