Howe , ono of Uio lending at torneys of tlio Douglas county , bar being nsknlhit opinion as to whether , It the pro posed "llccnso amendment" to the constitu tion should lo adopted It would impair or af fect the present liquor law known as the Slrrmnblaw , replied : "Would It destroy the so-called local option feature of the Slocumb law ? No Judge or lawyer would contend for a moment that It would. Indeed , the supreme court hai prac tically answered the question. "I'lilosi tbo Slocumb law is Inconsistent with tlin amendment , it would Bland tin- affected by It. "Our supreme court Twenty-fifth Ne braska , page 831 , 'In ro seimto file ill1-hud the question of the validity of the submission of tht1 proposed amend incuts before it , It says : " ' 1 low best to control this evil ( of Intern pcr.nii-iv has occupied the attention of wise nud thi.UKhlful tiorsoiis for ninny years and the i'lipiiry Is , What system will produce the best prurilt'ul results ! ' "Tin1 court then says that some claim the license system Is the most effective ; nnd oth ers iho nrohlbitioii system. It adds : " 'The legislature , recognizing this divided Btnti'of publk ! opinion , has In effect suhl to the electors of thostato. choose ye whlehsys- tern yo will have and hence has submitted both questions. ' "So tlio two rropositions submit 'the It- conic-system and the prohibition -lystem' of ilcnliiiK with the evil of intemperance. "Winch Is the better system for practical results' .Tint is the question. " 'lint.'certain lawyers say , 'the snle of liquors in a beverngo should bo licensed nud regulated by law. Shall'they say , 'means must. ' The word'ahull , ' In the statutes , Is very often held to mean 'may' by the courts. Tin' ti-st Is yhat was intended. How absurd to Miy that if the license system should DO hdopt'-d , there will boa power In the legisla ture to vest the ofllcers of the law with n dis cretion to grant or refuse a license. License means Ho permit by grant of authority : to nnthori/o , tonct lu n particular character. Hence , to tolerate ; to permit.1 ( Webster. ) 'A right given by some competent authority to do an act which without authority wouli be illegal. ' [ Uouvler Law Die. ) "The meaning of the term itself Implies that tbi' public authority may ho vc.UeU with n discretion tn granting or refusing u permil or llci'iiso. And this is all we have now under tin1 Sloouinu law ; all the 'local option' Wohuvoin that law Is simply the discretion vested in public flfllccrs to grant or refuse i ; llccnso. it' prohibitionists should bo elected In nny county or town , they would natural 13 refuse the license , nnd this they huvo the power to do. Sosays tbo supreme court h ; Thestato vsCassconnty , ' Twelfth Nebraska , 01. This constitutes the 'localoptlon feature of the Slocumb law. Section 1 of the act It self says : 'The county board of each conuti may grant licenses * * * if deemed expo client. ' Section 25 says : 'Tbocorporate an thorllics of cities and villages shall have power to license , ' etc. By net of 1871) ) amend ing this section nnd vesting the powe in metropolitan cities In the board of lire am pollco commissioners , etc. , the same Ian gunge , that is , it 'shall ' hnvo power to license , ' Is retained. Tlioro is no moro reason for siiylmr that these ofllcers must license than there Is for saying that , because the license eystcin Is In force , ono must drink. "ThoKlocumblnw Is confessedly mi Ideal license hw. It was in thomiiidof the legisla ture when It left it for tbo people to say Whether they would chooio tbo license sys tem or tbo prohibition system. If the license amendment should ho .adopted it Is clear ; first , that the Slocumb law will remain un affected by It ; secondly , that the legislature is at liberty to change the Slocumb law nnd mnko it tlll more stringent , und thirdly , that the legislature cannot adopt statutory prohi bition ; lhat the license system has come to stay If H is not adopted and thu prohibi tion miii'iidinput Is nlso defeated , then pro hibition by the legislature will bo agitated for j rars to come. Lot the question bo set- tie ! ' N "Vote against prohibition and vote for UCCIIHO !

O.MMI.V , Oct. 29.-To the Kdltor of TUB Dr.n : Mko others I am disgusted with the "vile birds who tire bofoullng their own nests" in this city. 1 mean Iho creatures who nro trying to depreciate the credit and stand ing of Omaha by discrediting the census. If they nro not knaves , they are fools , It Is sur prising that nny man In his senses will bellevo them. They appear to think that padding a census is mere pastime. Instead , It Is visited with tlio heaviest penal- tics. Does any man think Supervisor C'ooko would face a flno of AOOJ and imprisonment for two years as the result of a padded cen sus ? Mr. C'ooko announced the population of Omaha ntl3ti'J 15.

Multiply this by tbo pro portionate rate of ISH-J and the result is a population of 1-10,000 for Omaha at thu pres ent tlmo. As it was a physical impossibility for the United States enumerators to secure every itamo it will bo seen that the census Is really less than a fair estimate of the poula- tlon of the city.

In fact , faster than any oilier largo cltvIn the United States , Omaha's percentage of increase is greater than that of .Minneapolis and St. Paul combined , la the ten years Kansas City has been badly dis tanced.

I see no reason for chang ing it. Hut there are dangers to overcome nnd efforts to bo made. The llrst ttilnj ; to do is to clean out the unblhllcnl , blasphemous and sacrilegious prohibition movement.Vo must hold our noses and lift It out with a pair of tougs.

DRAGGING OMAHA IN THE DUST , Unequalled Audnulty of Conscience less Mbcllcrn-Alhcrt LSodlnus Sorlouily Injured on tlio Tenth Street Viaduct. This man Johnson , who ii savlnp himself , ns ho admits , from starvliiR by dragging the natnoof Omaha in the dust , seems to feel that ho bos not yet sufllclcutly Injured the reputation of this city. Ho has accordingly made arrangements to dlstrioute , through the American District Telegraph , f.0,000 copies of The Voice , which is published in Xow York. ThU Voice is the paper which Hon. J. L. Webster characterized la lilt speech at the oporn house last Saturday night us the mean est paper In the land. It Is a paper which bos teemed with lies about Nebraska and Nebraskatis und nhusoof everybody who has dared to ralso his volco ngulnst'prohibltlon. The copies of the sheet which arc to bo scattered broadcast through the city nro filled with the sensational lies which this man Johnson has fashioned regarding the census of Omaha. The circulation of this abusive publication under ordinary circumstances would boa sou rco of regret. Hut when it is distributed ns free as the winds of heaven among the very people whoso reputation it has ques- tioiieil and whose interests It has sought steadily to destroy it becomes an outrage ot which only characterless adventurers would bu guilty. Every citizen should throw the copy of this paper handed him into the gutters , N'o Credit lor Prohibition Klars. The man Johnson who ha ? skulked around this city under the natnoof "Dean" and ns the alleged correspondent of the Kansas City Times and Globe-Democrat of St. Louis , is still In town. It la ho who Is at the bottom of the "padded census" aud it Is ho who is responsible for the greater part of the lies which the prohibitionists have circulated re garding this cltv. Johnson is still In the employ of . Ing pro hibition papers and is supplying thorn with all the fabrications which they scam to think nro required to bolster up their ruinous policy. Not satisfied with supplying outside publi cations witli slander and abuse , ho hns been striving , the past few duys , to issue a paper in this city , which ho proposes to devote to the satno purpose. He accordingly obtained figures from several Job iirintors us to what It would cost to cot out a sheet dally until elec tion day and discovered that It would require about 5500 , Mr. Johnston proceeded to hus tle to secure the ducats and returned to the lowest bidder with fci'J.

Colonel \V. Jnines Cannon , ns his oftlclul tie rends , was a twelve-year-old boy at the me of Iho massacre , and was rescued from ic convent by the < Bfe of a Mexican oftlccr. i will ho remembered that nt the Alamo nnssncro Crockett nud Uowlo were iniir- orcd by the Mexicans , nnd the cry "Keiiicm- or the Alamo" was the slogan which In- lilrcd the valor of the American troops In iclr future battles with the "greasers. " "Uncle Jimmy" is n most picturesque char- cter , and attracts attention whenever seen n the streets , lie is n bright old gentleman f seventy years , active , loquacious und wltn hand as steady as a rock. On his breast ro medals indicating his presence nd yoeman service In the Mexl- an war , the rebellion and his con- onnectlon with the Alamo massiicre , the lat er being on 11 field composed of the oriulnnl ac of the "Lone Star state. " Another In- cresting medal is the solid silver ouct pro- onted him by congress for his service in llllng Klrby Smith nt Camp Wlttlngton , ear Maaasscs ( inp. The colonel Is very iroud of hU medals and intensely patriotic. lo Is the survivor of IS ) battles , from which 10 emerged with eighteen body wounds by mllet , arrow nnd bayonet , eleven of thc-in hove the hips. There is probably noman In ho west who knows moro of border warfare vlth the Indians , with whoso war methods 10 is lamiliaraad whoso many languages ho peaks fluently. It was mainly through his jaowledgo of the Apaches , their lamiuago nnd their trails that licronimo was captured. Hiring that famous battle "Undo Jimmy" uul his right shin shattered by an Anncho bullet , but Instead of giving up sat on the ground and worked his Winchester as though lothlnp had happened , while his scouts stood > elitml him Ih'ing over his head. As a matter of unrecorded history , "Uncle T tunny" says that the defeat ot the Apaches on that occasion was duo to the fact that the ndlans possessed 4'-eallbro rilhn and tried o uso-iri-callbro cartridges which tney had stolen somewhere. After the light the scouts liscovorer that the largo cartridges had choked the rilles. "Uncle " has I'omnrkable Jimmy" a memory , and In talking of his carcorspoho of the vari ous battles and engagements ho participated n. During the Mexican war ho was in the engagements of 1'ulo Alto , linonii Vista , 3crro CJordo , Cherubusco , Clippiiltepec , Sail 'ascual , Tobasco nnd Vera Cruz. In the latter part ot lSI5t' ho was captured > y the Indians at San Antonio , Tex. , nnd was louglit and sold among them until 1SII , when 10 escaped from them at Henry's ' Fork , Utah. In 18ir > ho entered the service of the Jutted States army in the First Texas nouutcd ritlcs under Colonel Jack Haves , .lo was through many Indian wurs , includ- ng tho-io with the Coinanchcs , Apaches , Savao ] , Mo j nvc , Sioux , Ute , Pluto and Hlack- 'ect doing scout duty. Ho was also with Cus- .er's command , but was on scout duty when .ho massacre occurred at Little Dig Horn. Ho also was In n number of notable Indian ights in Nebraska which many old settlers will remember and was connected with the ilstory of Nebraska when the rlflo was the commonest implement scon in the hands of sturdy pioneers. Among them was the Julcslmrg ; Colo. , massacre , in which 1C'J ' soldiers nnd forty-two citizens wow killed. Many of the people connected with that tragedy , including women and chil dren , arc not citizens cf .Nebraska. Ho was also engaged In the following Nebraska bat tles : At Hush creek , in December. 181VI , In which thirty-eight whites were killed and forty wounded ; nt Plum creek , where four teen men wcro killed and three women and two children taken prisoners. The two chil dren were taken from their mothers' arms and after being placed on praino dog holes shot in the sight of the surviving men , who were behind barricades , in order to trap them from their hiding places. When they came forth they wcro murdered. Two of the women were killed ; the other became insane and was found nt Crazy Woman fork , from -which it was named. Chiefs Two l > 'aco nnd IJig Crow loaded her with log chains ana took her from place to place Irving tosell her. "UncleJimmy" was a scout in the Eleventh cavalry in this engagement. When on the trail many years ago Uncle Jimmy adopted n boy by the name of Prank IwUiulron , who is now a conductor running ; between I'coria , 111. , mid Marshalltown , lu. To the daughter of this adopted son , Mlllio May Landron , "Unclo Jimmy" lias given 7,200 acres of Texas land , 2 , ( > ( IO acres of which are in what Is known as the Cannon grant near Austin , The old gentleman is well-to-do in this world's goods , but is very abstomlnous la his habits and very cnroful of his health. His memory is remarkable and ho speaks thirteen Indian languages ns well as the aborigines them selves. In 1S70 ho acted ns iatorpreter nt the con ference with the Sicux chiefs which took plnco before Judge Duiidy in the old federal building In this city. The daughter of Chief Flash , "Bright Kycs , " was present at the conference nnd is now the wife of T , II. Tib- bios , unOmnha newspaperman. TJnulo Jimmy is in Omaha to moot a num ber of chiefs from the 1'lno Kidgo , Wounded Knee nnd Rosebud agencies , who will discuss the advisability of placing tlio Indian * on quarter sections of laud. llolncasked hUopionlonof SlltlugllulUr. , the only Indian , by the way , who has ever been called after his progenitor , "I'aolo Jimmy" said : " 1 do not think much of his ability either as n councillor or it wurrelor ; h Is not nearly the equal of his father.
