LINCOLV , March 21. The first gun
of the approaching temperance c. m
paign in this tate has been Tired hon ,
in Lincoln , nnd the conflict is ex
pected to ipread rapidly over tin
noinliborii'C countiea. Lincoln is the
conlir fmni which the ngitation al-
wajBfttarts. The warfare upon the
liquor interest B hero took the form o
uigent rcinonsirnnccB acainat the re
newal of any of the existing licenjeo
for the coming jenr.
THERE IS NO DnUHT
but that two or throi of the drinking
places in this city might bo closed \ \ \
to the benefit of the peace of the
place , but the nnjority of thorn are
about as orderly and reputable ns
such places over cm bo. The press
ure brought to boir upon the city
council has boon BO groit that all ol
the license potitionera have withdrawn
their req'tesU ' for n renuw.il , and in
their ale id apphcUioua have boui
made by a nnmner of unknown p r-
ties who are desirous of cirryint' on
the buiintps at the old stand i. While
the touiperanco loaders art ) so

in an effirt to suppress
the saloon interests they had bitter
turn their attention to the fact that
there M a rich gambling housekeeper
hero , John Sheody by titino , who has
pouo on unmolejtod for year , while
the smaller ami poorer of his profov
eionil brethren hwo boin summoned
out of tntvn forthwith by our jealous
p dice. The Kiinpraision of the mon-
Btor evil would be a finn feather for
the reformers to adorn their cipswith.
Pnimituint men are not wanting here
who boldly declare that the chief of
p > lice connives at the mifdaeda of this
spirting nlpniPiit , nnd that gimblers
and prostitutes consider Lincoln
A CHOICE SPOT
for their operations on this very ac
count.
Speaking of the temperance cam
paign , them is every indication that it
is to bo a lively ono. The more lo-
quicious of the temperance lotdera
assort that they will put up a full
etato ticket of their own. In such an
event Finch , who is now out of the
sta'o , wi 1 bo the candidate for gov
ernor. Such talk as this seems ab
surd , and no doubt such an undertak
ing would meet with overwhelming
defeat , mainly from the fact that the
Id party lineo hold the people too
clostly.
If the qursHon were to bo closely
drawn between
PROHIBITION AND LICENSE
in this state the fi ht would bo a close
and bitter ono.
