They should be per- . peitted to go their way in peace. E Prohibition Before the Supreme Conrt. A great deal of interest is felt regard- ing the fate of the prohibition cases be- fore the supreme court of the United States, which involve the question of the constitutionality of prohibitory laws and also the queéstion of the right of the manufacturers of liguor to compensation for their property remdered valueless by such laws. Laust week the court re- fused to advance the cases on the docket for immediate hearing and decided to withhold the decision of the case al- ready argued until all have been pre- sented, action which each party to the issues construed as favorable to its side. lowa and Kansas are immediately in- terested in the decision of these cases, but it will of course concern every state which has a prohibitory law, and have & most important bearing upon the question of prohibitory legislation gen- erally. As far ns the question of constitution- ality is cencerned, it is not expected that the supreme court will decide against this legislation, though it must be conceded that there are very cogent reasons why it might doso. There has generally been, however, a disposition 1o construe libernlly the police powers of a state and its right to enact laws in- tended to protect the health of its citi- zens, among which prohibitory laws have been included. It is more than probable that the supreme court will not interfere with this well-established recognition of the police fuuctions of the state. Butthe question of compensation is a new one. In a decision rendered about a year ago by Judge Brewer, of the United States court,the constitutionality of the prohibitory law was affimed, butit was held that before the law could go into effect it was the duty of the state to compensate the manufacturers of intoxi- cants for property which would be vendered worthless by the law. This is obviously 2 most important matter, in fact only less important, as affecting the whole policy of prohibitory legislation, than the question of constitutionality. This decision was widely commented on at the time and very generally ap- provedasjust. A concession of the power to prohibit does not necessavily carry with it the right to confiscate private property without compensation, and it is not difficult to see where the admis- sion of such a principle might lead to. The manufacture of liquors having been carried on in a state as a legitimate business, paying its share of the revenues of the state, and re ng the recognition and sanction which are implied in state vegulation and super- vision, it seems clearly unjust that those engaged in the business should on the demand of & majority vote be compelled to discontinue their business, with the consequent sucrifice of the capital they have invested in plant and machinery, without any redress in compensatory damages. The wrong involved in such a principle scems so plain that it is al- most impossible to doubt that the su- preme court will sustain the decision of the circuit judge. In that case prohibitory. legislation will become a much more serious business than it has been, and will doubtless give way in most of those states which have it to the license and local option volicy. It would be extremely difficult to enact n prohibition law anywhere if it should become necessary to accom- pany it by an appropriation bill. The Evangelical Alliance. Theve is to be held in Washington next December o, convention of repre- sentatives of the Protestant churches of the United States, the object of which is to advance the policy of alliance, for the purpose of more systematic and thorough church work among the peo- ple, which really had its beginning as a general movement in the spring of last year. There has existed an evan- gelical alliance for forty years, but its work has been mainly confined to Noew England. The effort now making is to give it national scope. All church people assuredly, and everybody who is favorable to the growth of morality among the people, will feel an interest in this movement, which contemplates a goneral, united and systen:atic plan among the Protestant churches for drawing the masses into closer relations with the religious bodies, while at the same time aiding to promote the im- provement of sociul conditions. How necessary this missionary work is will be seen in the statement of the sce- retary to the Nutional Evangelical Alli- ance that of the sixty million people in the United States thirty million never enter a church, One-ha!f the people of this christian land are wholly indiffer- eut to any form ol religious teaching, and a very considerable proportion of this number knows absolutely nothing about it. Clearly here at home is a field and a demand for christian effort much more inviting and more vitally neces- sary than are presented in lands thous- ands of miles away. What is the expla- nation of this state of affuirs? The sec- retary of the alliance gives it in these words: “This calamity is due to the uegligence and inaifference of the church leaders in general. It was the separation of the churches which led to the in- difference now existing. Protestantism to-day is disorganized, divided into jar- ring and contending sects and denomi- nations, jealous and fearful of each other because there is no mutual understand- ing.” So severe and candid anarvaign- ment, authoritatively made, ought to receive the carnest attention of church- men. It ought to suggest to every de- nomination to ask itself whether the allegation does not justly apply to its own derclictions and shortcomings. It ought to induce every minister to care- 1 fuliy review his work and examine the - | policy of is church management, in order to satisfy himso!f whethey the re- sulis of the work have been all that could reasonably be expected and the policy is such as will attract and inter- est the people. The church needs to have its faults pointed out, and such candid setting forth of its defects us that above quoted will do it no harm, but should rather be productive of much good. Every church has o small minority who are ever on the alert for those who are in want of their good offices, but there is a large self-satisfied majogity who will do very little, and in vory many cases the minister gives more of his atteation, ment. who have issued the call for the Wash- ington conveption recognize that there are new conditions incident to our mar- velous material growth and the changes in our population and in the habits and temper of the people which require gome changes in the methods of chris- tian work. Among these they evidenlty regard co-operation as of the first im- portance. forms. could master the universal language would be George Francis Train, ngelieal Alliance is The allinn¢e is a progressive move- The eminent christian teachers Volapu!

THE proclamation of PresidentCleve- land, designating the 24th of November for observance as a day of national thanksgiving, has havdly received due attention asa reverential acknowledg- ment of what the American people have to be thankful for. There has for the most part been a stercotyped tone about thanksgiving proclamations which sug- gested that one differed from another in little more than the change of dates, but that of Mr, Cleveland is evidently oviginal, and whether the production of the president or the secretary of state it is clear that the author’s heart was in the work and that the feelings of humility and gratitude were very active, It is an earnest invocation to thankful- ness and to good deeds that shall beget thankfulness which must impress all who read it.

Stephen B. Elkins says there is no founda- tion for the report that he is supporting the democratic ticket in Maryland. Representative O'Farrell, of Virginia, ex- pects that the present democratic majority will be somewhat reduced this fall. General Nathan Goff, of West Virginia, firmly believes that not only his state, but old Virginia will go republican in 1888, Senator Gorman, of Maryland, laughs at the idea of democratic defection defeating the regular ticket in his state this fall. Assistant Secretary Muldrow's friends are very confident he will succeced Secretary Lamar, if the latter goes on the supreme bench. B. F.

The Kearney county, Democrat asserts that the “‘people realize the) blessings of . democratic government,” but wisely de- clines to publish corroborativie proof. The campaign is excessively warm in Creeley county. The Ord Democrat invites candidates to “keep on ypur shirts, gentle- men.” The advice is timely and will prevent damaging exposures. “The democratic press,” says the North Bend Flail, ms that Grover swung around his orbit, inferring by that that he is @ heavenly body. It is false as to Grover. Frankie was the only heavenly body on the great junketing trip.” The cheering information comes from Red Willow county that “*Mrs. C. L.

One of the aims of the E to correct this by infusing a zeal into home missionary work that would at- tract and receive the interest of all in the churches. names, and concludes that he is better fitted for the penitentiary than for the beach. The address of the Gage county repub- lican committee utters a bald untruth when it says that “the presidential chair is ocet pied though far from filled, by an accident. Those who have taken a mental photograph of Cleveland's shape will recognize the ludicrous aspect of the assertion. The campaign for the county fleshpots absorbos the best efforts of party organs, and no time is left to waste on news. Mud and malignity for the enemy, inflated com- mendation for the party ticket, is stalwart wotto. Fortunately their pasture is becom- ing brief and barren and their uselessness glaringly apparrent. A republican paper in the First district, speaking of Captain Humphrey, says he does not use a pass. The Lincoln Democrat is quite happy to corroborate this. It is a fact. Cap. travels so mach on the railroads and is so well known to every conductor in Nebraska that he hasn't had occasion to pull his pass out of his pocket for ten years. “The citizens of Omaha,” says the Beat- rice Republican, ‘‘will not-invite President Cleveland to visit them soon again. Ina bungling attempt to compliment them he said: ‘Omaha is laying the foundations for a great city.’ And the haughty goddess of the ‘gate city’ adjusts her bustle, and indig- nantly exclaims, ‘just as though it isnota great oty now.’" The Liberty Journal asscts that John S. Stull, Humphrey’s mate in the judicial race in the First district, has practiced at the bar of the state supreme court. Guy A. Brown, clerk of the court, states that there isno record of Stull's admission to the court. This is a case of assertion vs. fact, with the weight of evidence in favor of the defend- ant. The plaintift is given eight days to amend the record. “The democracy of the Third district,” says the Lincoln Democrat, “‘did well in ad- hering for & mnon-partisan ticket for the bench. There is a popular and soundly founded impression that the political hucks- ter is not the best material for the jndiciary. In the eastern states it has become the cus- tom to continue good judges upon the bench term after term, and for such a one to med- +dle with politics means his decapitation at the end of his term.” The Lincoln Democrat “has no hesitancy in saying for Attorney General Leese that he will not consent toa withdrawal or dis- missal of the Elkhorn mandamus case. He will see that it is tried and everything will be pushed to the utmost of his ability. Judge Mason takes the same ground. If the board of transportation can establish rates it should make them. If it can't it should dis- miss its secretaries, lock its doors and ad- journ sine die.” The Blair Pilot announces that Manderson, Thurston, et al, will stump Washington county, and says: *‘Asa scheme to advertise themselves and gain prominence the plan of making campaign specches, adopted by Sen- ator Manderson and would be Senator John M. Thurston, will doubtless accomplish its purpose. But if the pnrpose is to catch votes for the republican judicial candidates, then thesc gentleman would as well remain at home. The day has passed for obtaining votes by stump-speaking; people read too many newspapers and aro too intelligent to ‘e influenced by the chaff usually indulged in by the average stump speaker.” “Some of the young politicians,” says tho Norfolk News, ‘‘who are having their first experience in running for office this fall should take pre-election promises with a great deal of allowance. It was six years ago this fall when our friend Ashel Clark ran for sheriff. He made a canvass of the county, and if everybody that told him they would vote for him had done so he would have been elected by a large and handsome majority. When the returns were all in, however, Ashel wasn’t the sheriff-clect. After deducting the number of votes he ro- ceived from the number of promises mado him, he arrived at the inevitable conclusion that there were ‘seven hundred of the —— ——est liars in Madison county that ever lived."” The Norfolk News gives the following true picture of the situation: “In almost every county in the state the eclection of county treasurer has become a fight as to what bank or banks shall have the use of the county funds. Repuhlican bankers are fighting re- publican cand.Jates and democratic bankers are fighting democratic candidates, for the simple and only reason that they cannot se- cure the county deposits if the man they op- pose is elected. Our presentlaw makes the county money abone for the bank dogs to fight over. It should bechanged so that the Dbank that pays the most for the privilege and puts up the best bond shall be the designated depository of the county funds. Such a law would relieve the treasurer from a burden of responsibility and make him only an execu- tive officer. It would remove all danger of 1oss to the county from the peculations of o of a dishonest treasurer or the misfortune of one who is plucked by his friends. The law should be changed.” The county funds is the fat bone in the battle in Cass county, and the fight is a trifie personal and somewhat peculiar, One of the candidates has tumbled into a warm corner, and his position is explained by the Platts- mouth Journal in the following: *‘So it is worth a round hundred dollars to Treasurer Campbell for the Journal to keep quiet on the subject of the county deposits, is it? Well, if this is all you want, how much better it would have been never to have em- bezzled that money. But, not denying that the Journal might be tempted were the offer big enough, it looks as if the treasurer wanted to slip in a without making a fair “divy” of the gains from his illegal trafic in county funds. Zounds! What a depth of infamy a man must come to when he is willing to attempt to purchase the silence of newspaper! Hon- est, now, Mr. Campbell, what do you think of yourselft It was bad enough to get away With ,000 or 6,000 in interest on county funds, but wasn’t it even beneath the dig- nity of a high-bred thief to try to bribe into silénce an honest criticism of your doings?” e THE POPE'S JUBILEE.

A BELIEVER IN FREE SPEECH The Lecturer Touches Upon a Variety of Subjects and Devotes Ten Mine utes to the Condemned Men, Another Erratic Lecture. George Francis Train, philosopher, egotist, traveler, linguist, atheist, orank or lunatic as the world may be pleased to call him, ad- dressed - an audience that com- pletaly filled the auditorium of Exposition hall last night. Mr. Train has lost none of his marvellous eloquence or gift of ropartee during his long years of silence. In fact his brilliancy of oratory never. shone brighter than at the present time and his auditors last night were very liberal and enthusiastic in the applause they bestowed upon him. Mr. Train arrived at precisely twenty-five minutes after cight and his appearance was the signal for cheers, long continued. He was accompanied by ex-Governor Saunders, throe little girls and a messenger boy bear- ing two baskets, one containing button-hole boquets and the other Delaware grapes. Governor Saunders introduced the speaker 28 one who twenty-five years ago predicted Omaha’s greatness and who was greatly in- strumental in the establisiment of the muni- cipality, The growth of the city had fully demonstrated the correctness of M Train's foresight and he would tell the citizens of Omaha in what yet they were lacking. Mr. Train was dressed in a black cut-away coat, white vest, black frousers, patent leather pumps from the tops of which peeped bright scarlet stockings. He wore lavender gloves and the usually bunch of flowers adorned the lapel of his coat. Mr. Train was greeted with great applause when he arose and in the following couplet paid his respects to Governor Saunders “Great in the senate, great in the state, He who follows Saunders, takes the Train too late.” My, Train then followed his usual cus- tom and presented Governor Saunders, the threeittle girls and the reporters with tiny bouquets, paying & high_tribute to tho press represenatives. Then he asked tho few people in the gallery to take seats below “just for sociability’s sake., Mr: Train began by saying that the most noble element of character a man could pos- sess was grit—bull dog grit. That was the secret of his own success, Never stick to any one sect, but rather seek individuality, No man could afford to have his mind swayed by the.opinions of others, He then launched out into a discussion of the possi: bilities of Omaha and drew several “‘pictures” on the blackboard and by word of mouth demonstrating what an almost boundless te ritol as naturally and geographically trib- 'y to Omaha. He said that no one but himself fully comprehended what a great country lay between this city and Denver, and to illustrate toid the story of the English- man who attempted to walk to Pikes Peak from Denver and return before breakfast. He was found late in the afternoon about half way between preparing to ford a creck three feet wide, and when asken why he didn't jump across replied that distances were 80 deceiving that he did not proposc to attempt to leap across what was undoubtedly a mammoth river. Mr, Train said he could sce what the future had in store for Omaha as plainly us he saw it twenty-five years ago, and knew that it would bo a city of a half million in twenty years if all the Paxtons, the McShanes, the Armours and all capitalists would put. their shoulder to the wheel of progress and push together, The speaker then spoke of lis addresses made in New York, Chicago and Kansas City in behalf of the anarchists and how he forced the police and military to pay their admis- sion at the door, and said that no officer of the law had as much right to inaugurate a riot as the lowliest laborer. He paid a high tributo to the love of law and ordor that ever characterizes the majority of laboring and this sentiment drew applause, Mr. Train next turned his attention to what e was pleased to term the serfdom existing in republics, especially in the United States. He showed how the minority in the last pres- idential election were nonenities, they having absolutely no influence in the management of public affairs, He showed how women were d ded by being refused the right of fran- chise and said that in refusing them that right men set the stamp of ignominy upon them and made them more debased than the emancipated slaves and on an equity with convicts and savages. Mr. Train then announced that he had been born on the top of the mountain and could sce down both sides, while idiots were born on the side. This conceit caused great laugh- very enduring thing in this world was and not by a single leap. The pyramids were built by steps and even the mountains toiled upward in the night. All the monied men of Omaha should unite in the effort to push the city’s interest and then it would be the metropolis of the new world. “The trouble with you men of Omaha,” said Mr. Train, “is that you've got a gold watch in your pocket and tell the world it's pewter. That a pretty way to establish your credit, isn't it!"” The speaker then touched on a variety of ects both political, domestic and scien- tific, and finally reached “tho anarchists,” which was advertised i Ju evening. Mr. Train exhibited seve of his paper which was suppressed Chicago and read several passages from th He said that he had been urgently ied by the condemned men to take up auso and that wus the reason of his breaking his long silence, He did not_care one farthing for anarchy or the anarchists, but was a believer in free speech. He couldn’t understand why 65,000,000 of people should be afraid of ‘‘seven little p anarchists.” He never saw an anarchist, never talked anarchy and yet was considered the arch anarchist of the world. He was considered a communist in France. a nihilist in Russia and a Fenian in Ireland, and had been thrown into fourteen jails for his sup- posed treason. He believed that every man has a right to his own religion and belicfs and to advocate his doctrines when and where ever he chooses. He entered upon the de- fenso of the seven men simply to avert another civil war, If these men were hung: twenty million laboring men would rise up to avenge them. He had advised them not men forth tremendous to sue for exceutive clemency or allow their cases to go boforc the supreme court, and he wished it distinetly understood it was not the ai ch- ists who caused the arguments in their be- half before the highest tribunal of the United States to be made, but their friends and sym- thizers, “If they hang them,” said Mr. Traip, “I will expatiate myself forever from this my native land. I will not live with such a people. 1 hate capital punishment; it is the resource of the thug, the cutthroat, the strangler and the barbarian.” [Here Mr. Train took a vote as to how muny were against and how many favored capital pun- ishment. The nays and ayes were about equal,] “If I do leave this country,”” he con- tinued, “and you all get your throats cut, dow't blame me, and I tell you if T do go you will be treading on mighty thin ice.” Mr. Train then invited the audience to ask s and the first one was: ‘“What do you think, of prohibition?” He replied that he would bring Council Bluffs over here, have free bridges and prohibit that twenty- five cent fare botween the two cities, 1f the question referrcd to liquor he did mot Think any man had & right to inter- fere with _another man's T reply to the question if he ever chewed or smoked Mr. Train emphaticall said that he had never done either in his life, Some oue usked: “What of the coercion bill in Ireland?' Mr. Train rt'éllicd at it meant the downfall of Ireland. That it would stamp out the life of that island. He then announced that he would put on “two white neckties to-day and preach in the exposition hall to-night.”” Mr. Train was frequently interrupted with applause and laughter.. The many ladics present secmed to thoroughly enjoy the cntertainment. LETTERS FIOM PAKSONS, SPIES AND NINA, The following letters received by Mr, Train from A. R.
