In the state of Maine , under the new
liquor law , the payment of a special tax
to the United States government is de
clared to be prima facia evidence of vio
lation of the law , punishable in all in
stances by both fine and imprisonment.
With United States marshals and state
officers both interested , the man who
sells licpuor in that state must be assur
ed that his customer is dry.
Thomas . ) . Potter , first vice pres
ident of the Chicago , Burlington &
Quincy railroad , has tendered his res
ignation , which will bo. accepted to take
effect May 15th. The officials of the
Burlington have had the resignation • I
under consideration several weeks and
only accepted after having been assur
ed by Potter that he had decided to ac
cept the office-of first vice president of
the Union Pacific railroad , which has
been tendered him. The announce
ment of Potter to the first vice presiden
cy of the Union Pacific is accompanied
by the statement that the Union Pacific
has finally effected a lease of the Ore-
gon Railroad & Navigation company's
lines , the details of which were finally
settled within the past few days. Vice
President Potter will assume control of
the allied lines May 15th , the terms of
his contract with the Union Pacific pro
viding that he is to have control of the
consolidated system , which will of
course be operated as one com pan } .
The headquarters of the company will
remain as heretofore at Omaha. It is
understood that 0. E. Perkins will as
sume the duties relinquished by Potter.
and that no other change oa the Bur
lington will be made for the present.
The lease of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company to the Union Pa
cific was signed Monday.
The present prohibition party nomin
ally dates from about 1870 , but it was
subsequent to 1SS0 that it really had a
noteworthy existence. Since then it3
growth has been so rapid that the party
may practically be said to have been
formed between 18S0 andl8S2 , in which
latter year it polled 73,303 votes. In
18S4rits voting strength , as is well known
largely increased polling , a total vote
for St. John and Daniel of 151S09.
The campaigns in favor of prohibitory
constitutional amendments in several of
the states had kept the issue well be
fore the public attention , and the very
evident unwillingness of the politicians
of the deal
God-and-morality party to
effectively with the question , had con
vinced the advocates of prohibition that
nothing would be done for that cause.
Hence the large vote for St. John. They
held the balance of power in at least
four states New York , New Jersey ,
Connecticut and Michigan. Had there
been no prohibition ticket in the field ,
it is more than probable Mr. Blaine
igan alone of the number gave a
would have received the electoral votes
of all the states names ; as it was Mich-
small plurality for the republican ticket.
In 1S86 the total prohibition vote was
26S,739 , almost double that of ' 8-i ,
and in no less than eleven states Cali
fornia , Connecticut , Indiana , Michigan ,
Minnesota , New Hampshire , New Jer
sey , New York , Ohio , Oregon and
West Virginia the prohibition vote
was greater than the plurality of the
successful ticket. These states have
an aggregate of 129 electoral votes. It
is therefore made clear that the 'prohi
bitionists as a part } ' are each year be
coming a more potent factor in practi
cal politics. The fact should be fur-
• ther considered that the prohibition
.party has never aset polled more than
a small percentage of what may fairly
be called the prohibition vote. The
votes recorded on constitutional amend
ments in various states and in local op
tion contests show that fully 30 per
cent , of the people of this country are
really prohibitionists and willing to
have the liquor traffic declared illegal.
In other words , the third party prohi
bitionists have about 3,300,000 voters
of kindred feeling to recruit from.
There is , therefore , a phase of this third
party movement which possesses great
significance to the politician who is
I
practical in politics. Omaha Herald. |
