'J7.To the Editor of Tin : Kin : : What would bo the effect upon local option If the license amendment should carry , I'lcnso answer through THE BKI : . T. J. The proposed license amendment pro vide.1) ) Unit the manufacture and sale of liquor Hlmll bo licctibod and regulated by law. In other words , regulation must go hand In hand with license. This id precisely what the Slocutnb law does. Nobody can necuroullcenso to sell liquor until ho has compiled with the condi tions imposed by tlio law. This is regu lation. If the license amendment is adopted tlio legislature can prescribe such con ditions upon each liquor dealer that would practically coutlnuo local option.For Instance , ouch appli cant for a license may bo required to procure a petition signed by u majority of the freeholders o ! his vll- lago or of tlio ward in any town In which ho desires to locate. If a majority of the freeholders'refused to sign such a petition the llcetiso could not bo granted. Another regulation that would operate the Hume us local option would ha to gl vo the town board of any city or village the right to fix the amount of llcoiuo fro-n live hundred dollars to ton thousand del lars. \shhind the town lluonso is ( IfIcon hundred dollars and yet they have no saloon. The city of Lynn , Mass. , has fixed Its license at olghu thousand dollar- ) , which Is practically prohibition. It is manifest , therefore , that the adoption of the high license amendment would not wipe out local option. License would not bo compulsory until all the conditions Imposed by the laws and local boards were complied with , and wherever i majority of tlio people are udverso to the open saloon , they could readily prevent - vent its establishment. COKItCtOX AT 1IIK 1'OLLS. It is reported from the Interior coun ties of the slate that , the alliance loaders luivo appointed committees to o'xumino the ballots of their members as they come to the polls and make sure that they vote in every inslunco the straight independent ticket. This is n strange development for Ne braska politics. It smellsof South Carolina lina ratlior than of the broad , frco prairies of the west , It is legitimate to appeal to a man's reason to induce him to join a political party , and to his loy alty to induce him to stand by Its nom inees on election day. Beyond that it is not proper for any leader or organization to go. The right to vote ia tlio sacred right of every citizen , and no man may tell him at the polls that his ballot must bo examined and approved by the com- inilteo of a secret society. It is not to bo believed for a moment that this measure represents the desires of the honest and earnest men who com pose the rank and file of the independent movement. If such a stop ha ? boon taken it is another act of arrogant dicta tion on the part of tlio mem who arbitra rily fixed the basis of representation in the stute convention , and who have is sued orders ot excommunication against men who have olTunded thorn during the campaign. Ono of the demands ot the independent platform is for the Australian ballot sys tem. The action of its leaders in this instance is a striking illustration of the need ot that reform. Under that wise law each citizen prepares his bal lot in Hccrot. Supervising committees cannot accompany n mini to the vct'i altar of citizenship \vhcn that is in force , If the day has coma when coercion is to bo introduced at the Nebraska bnllol box , lot the Australian system bu adopted without delay.

Nebraska has never hail Ita equal ns a circus. Ordinary shows are content with one clown , but in the prohibition show every star is clown and every clown is a star. Nor are they of local growth. They are imported nt great expense by the management. During the next four days this aggrega tion of horrible cxamulcs and homeless patriots may be expected to give startling exhibitions of mental convulsions and physical jim-jams. The public need not bo alarmed , however. The clowns will bo severely sober on the morning of the 5th. HAKixa TIIH covxTitr. The prohibitionists have boon Fending out appeals far and wldo for contribu tions of money to bo used during the closing days of the campaign in No- raska. Their solicitations have gone uat , west and south , and they have icon accompanied with a mass of mis- oprcsontutions regarding the condition f affairs in this state.

By ueh damaging defamation this orderly , nw-respcctlng , intelligent and pros- icrous people is arrayed before the lountry in order to secure money in tlio nterest of a policy that would strike a 'ntul blow to the prosperity of Ne braska. "Why should the party of moral reform rake the country for campaign funds ? t ought to bo able to obtain money 3nough at homo for the legitimate pur- rases ot the canvass and the componsa- lou of the imported mercenaries who ire managing it. lias it some corrupt scheme in contemplation , or is tlio ap- > oal for money sent abroad ' a plan of ho mercenaries to swell their revenue ? They certainly would not hesitate to do this , their course in Nebraska having shown them capable of anything , how ever disreputable or dishonorable. At any rate , the fact is known that a wide spread call has been made by the prohl- > itionists for campaign funds , and there is reason to believe that it has not boon without result. The party that has prac ticed forgery and persisted in falsehood may fairly bo suspected of corrupt do- signs. At all events there is good rea son why the opponents of prohibition ihould bo vigilant. irOIIKINO TIIK AfjMAXCB. The democratic managers in Ne braska tire entitled to credit for pome shrewdness in the way they are working the alliance for the boned t of their party. It is a fact well known that every where there are emissaries of the do- nocraey connected with the alliance. The business of these men is to keep alive and stimulate interest in the inde pendent movement by leading the re publican farmers in it to believe that It will draw largely from the democratic ranks. They tire to all appearances the most earnest and zealous in their devo tion to the cause. They profess un bounded sympathy with every reform which the independent party stands for. They are as loud as the loudest In pro claiming an utter want of confidence in the old parties. They stigmati/.a the democrats oven more vigorously than they do the republicans. They are tc all appearances heart and soul in accord with the independent movement and the most uncompromising advocates of the necessity of destroying both of tlio eli political orgiml/nilons. But they will all vote the straight democratic ticket on election day. Un questionably there are democrats in the alliance who will bo faithful to its cause , but the number of such is not large The grout majority of thorn will support the democratic candidates when the final test of party fealty is roichod. : The independent vote , wluituvcr it nuiy amount to , will bo cast almost wholly by men who have hlUierto acted with the republican party. And in the event ol democratic success democrats who arc now professing the greatest concern foi the triumph of the so-called people' * party will bo In the front line of thost seeking olllcial favors , i Are the republican farmers of No- brasku willing to thus uid the democrult to obtain control in this state ? Can thoj conceive ot any advantage to their in torents which it would bo possible tf gain from democratic success ? Only n few days remain for the consideration o those und other equally pertinent ques tions suggested by the sltuutlon , am they should receive the most serious at tention from the voters most deeply concerned corned in the material welfare of No br.vsku the great body of farmers win have hitherto been loyal to the republi can party. - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TinsTlKBiippo'ils to the cantral con mittccs of the republican , and dome cratlc and independent parties to conv together and itmuguriito a systemuti non-partisan round-up of non-rogUtorci voters.

Every foreign-born citizen of Omaha , should curry with him lib Hral papers BO that challenges may bo quickly and otTcctiinlly ? quclchcd. Any citizen who has lived iii the slate six months , In the county for forty days and in the ward or precinct where ho lives ten days , Is a legal olecior under tl-o laws of Nebraska and Is entitled to cast his vote. Every naturalized foreign-born citizen , who lias declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States thirty days prior to the election , November , and who lias resided In the state six months , in the county forty days and la the ward or precinct ten days , Is n legal citizen ami voter , and must not bo de prived of his right to cast his vote. This information should reach every foreign- born citizen in this city and Bluto , and any attempt to deprive him of hln right to vote should bo speedily checked and the impediment overcome. TUB right of private judgment nnd the right to vote us one chooses cannot bo questioned or denied. But when an alleged clti/en of Omaha , one who bus thrived on its prosperity and fattened on its growth , deliberately enters into a conspiracy with mercenary hirelings , imported sneaks , forgers und thieves to atluck the credit of the city , to Blunder its citizens and to sanction falsehood , it is time for loyal residents to emphasize their contempt for the carrion which hofouls its own nest. TIIK registrars must bo alert and vigi lant. The characterless scamps turned loose on the city will not hesitate to com mit any crime to earn their salaries. Care must bo taken that the registry lists are beyond the reach of burglars and sneaks. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty in dealing with desper ate conspirators. THR sentiment for a general holiday next Tuesday is practically unanimous. Merchants , manufacturers and em ployes , and nil Interested in the future welfare of the city should rally to the polls and devote the day to defending their interests and repudiating conaplr- utors and slanderers. SHOULD the imported hirelings of prohibition attempt to delay or harass voters next Tuesday , the people of this city will see to it that obstructionists are vigorously if not tenderly cared for.

Inasmuch as society is composed of Indi viduals , why should liullvlUuul rights give way to society rights I "Tomiwrniiro In nil things is the foundation of every virtue , " but the maxim iloea not lii luoiiL-o the conduct of prohibitionists. Only two states In the union hnvocvcr suf > 'crcil n decrease la population Maine anil Sew Hampshire and they are prohibition states oflongstiimlhii : . The city of Dos Moliies" has no money with which to clean Its streets or repair Its worn- out pavement * . It la a striking example of n "prosperous" prohibition city. According lo oniciul reports the great mass of criminals In Massachusetts come from the poor , the 111-launht nnd the Ill-condltlotiuJ , and not from thu drinking elates. So long ns the people will not look upon tha manufacture mid sale of intoxicants ns n crime according to uaturnl laws , prohibition will not bo respected nor enforced. Intelligence , a higher , miror tnoro liberal culture , wider views and moro knowledge of the world will have a greater tendency to di minish drunkenness than will laws. In ISSI fourteen men and women In Maine were convicted of tiiocrlino of murder some of the murders the most inexcusable nnd cold blooded of any committed In tlio union. "What good that has been gained in Kansas from the loss of luo open saloon has been moro than overbalanced by the harm that has resulted from the business of. the bootlegger und club rooms. In many Iowa and Kansas towns , wlioro prohibitory laws uro supposed to diminish drunkenness , tl-o sign of the beer seller and saloon 1st Is seen displayed ou the cornerof many prlvato dwellings. Kvory DCS Mohicsman who visits Omaha bewails the loss to that city of the big dis tillery and the blighted effects upon business and general prosperity that prohibition has entailed upon the city ntici citizens. John Bright of England and Governor An drew of Massachusetts nro both of the opin ion that drunkenness was ton , if not twenty , times greater twenty years ago than now. They uro observant men of the world. If Iowa and Kansas should keep their prohibition laws in force for the next twenty years the census of 1000 will not show ati lu- crcusa in population over that of IbOO. Theirs will bo the history of Maine repeated. The census statistics1 show that Mnlno and Vermont have n higher proportion of divorces to ranrriago than any other stnto , yet they have been prohibition states for years , nnd it is claimed Hint drinking causes domestic un- happiness. Oao of the chief causes of crime is the habit of violating laws by creating artificial ones , says Frederick Hill , n noted English barister. The pcoplo of Io\v.i \ nud Knnsus are Just now experiencing the truth and wis dom of the learned gentleman'scon elusions. Following the census of 1870 all prohibition states repealed their prohibitory laws save Maine and New Hampshire , and the gain In population and the noticeable national devel opment was , In the next decade , satisfactory to all save the two states that clung to pro hibition. It Is n tnaxlmof political and social economy that , If wo would become rich vo should bo surrounded with wealthy neighbors. Pro hibiting plutocrats would do well to make some estimate of the annual revenues that would bo destroyed If the goal of their efforts was reached. The prison Inspector of Maine Is forced to say from personal observation and experience that the greatest cause of crime In that state Is tlio lack of peed homo influence. . That being the case prohibition certainly does not improve the morals of towns , counties or states , or promote good homo Influence. Said a Des Moines capitalist yesterday : "Our streets are literally illtliy ; wo have diphtheria ( scattered over the city ; property owners are groaning under their load of taxa tion ; wo have plenty of free whisky , but no saloons and no revenue from the hundreds of liquor dealers. Our streets need cleaning for sanitary reasons. " I&TT1K Itll'LETS. Puck "It's hard " the : very , sighed gas meter ; "I always register , but I can't vote.
