Yestern.iy Tin : Uii : : published an Interview with the Hon. John U. Howe regarding pro hibition and high liecnso. Some typograph ical errors appeared In It which materially changed the views of the gentleman. The trticlc Is accordingly reproduced. The views were advanced in response to a question ns to whether the proposed llcenso amend went to the constitution , If adopted , would Impair or affect the present liquor law known as the Slocumb law ; nnd whether it would destroy the so-called local option feat ure of the same law. Mr. Howe saidNo : Judco or lawyer would contend for a moment that It would. Indeed , the supreme court has practically answered the question. "Unless the Slocumb law Is Inconsistent with the amendment , It would stand un affected by It. "Our supreme court Twenty-fifth Ne braska , page 831 , 'In re-senate lilo III' had the validity of tbo question of the submission of the proposed amendments before it. It nays : " 'How best to control this evil ( of intern , pcrunco ) has occupied the attention of wlso nnd thoughtful puraons for. many years ami the Inquiry Is , What system will produce the best practical results i' "The court then says that some claim the license system is the most effective ; and others the prohibition system. It adds : " 'The legislature , recognizing this divided state of public opinion , has in effect said to the electors of the state , choose yo which sys tem yo will have and hence has .submitted both questions. " "So the two propositions submit 'the , license system and the prohibition system' of dealing with the evil of intemperance , "Which Is the better system for practical results ( Thnt Is the question. " 'll'it , ' certain laymen si.y , 'tho sale of liquors as a bovcragc shall bo licensed nnd regulated by law. 'Shall , ' they say , 'means muht. ' The word 'shall,1 In the statutes , is very often held to mi > nn 'may' by the courts. The test U , what was intended. How ab surd to say that if the license system should bo adopted , there will bo no power In the icgls- ture to vest the oflicors of tbo law with n discretion to grant or refuse a license , Ll cense means 'to permit by grant of authority ; to authorize , to act in n particular character. , Hence , to tolerate ; to permit. ' ( Webster. ) 'A right given by some competent authority to do an net which without authority would he illegal , ( Douvlor Law Die. ) "Tho meaning of the term Itself Implies that the public authority may bo vested with a discretion to grunt or refuse n permit or license. And this is all wo hnvo now under thoblocumb law ; nil the 'local option1 wo have In that law Is simply the discretion vested In public ofllcers to grant or refuse a llcenso. If prohibitionists should bo elected In any county or town they would naturally refuse the license , and tills they have the power to do. So snys tbo supreme court in The state vs Cass county , ' Twelfth Nebraska , fit. This constitutes the 'local option feature' of the Slocumb law. Section 1 of the act It self says. 'The county board of eueh county , licenses * * * if deemed may grunt expe dient. ' Section 25 says : 'Tlio ' corporate au thorities of cities and villages shall have power to license , ' etc. Hy act of 1819 , amending this section and vesting the power in metropolitan cities in the board of lire and police commissioners , etc. , tbo sumo lan guage , that lslt 'shall have power to license , ' is retained , ' ( 'hero Is no moro reason for sayIng - Ing that those oftleors must license than there Is for saying that , because the license system is in force , one must drink. "Tlio Slocumb law is confessedly nn ideal license law. It was in the mind of the legisla ture when It loft it for the people to say whether they would choose the license sys tem or the prohibition system. If the llcenso amendment should bo adopted It is clear , llrst , that tbo Slocumb law will remain un affected by It ; secondly , that the legislature Is ut liberty to change the Slocumb law nml make It still moro stringent , und thirdly , that , M the legislature cannot adopt statutory prohl- ' bltlou ; Unit the license system has come to stay. If it is not adopted nnd the prohibi tion amendment is also defeated , then prohl- . . bltlon by the legislature will be agitated for years to come. Let the question bo set tled I "Voto against prohibition nnd vote for li cense I So can wo secure law unit order for our cities us well ns for the country. Prohi bition may menu law and order for rural dis tricts , but It means lawlessness , vhlsky Joints by the thousand nnd bootlegging by the tens of thousands for our principal cen ters of population I The Slocumb law secures prohibition where the sentiment of the ma jority favors It , and sound regulation every where else In the state , " Hov.

There Is now left to the unregistered citi zen but one moans of Insuring his vote , nnd that is to swear as to his citizenship before the city cierk on the day of election. Each unregistered voter , who desires to vote , must take with him two citizens who may bo able to testify to the fact that he Is u citizen of Omaha , Those citizens must swear to this fact in the presence of the city cleric In his olllco in the basement of the county courthouse. Clerk droves will have a no- tnry there to administer thu necessary oaths , ns also a force of clerks who will aid in the work which this duty entails. The voter who expects to swear his vote in nt the polls will be mistaken. The swearing must bo done at the city clerk's ofllce , after which the voter must go to his own precinct to deposit bis voto.

Mr. Dcuh'n Figures. There were about llfty independents atEx- positlon ball when Allan Hoot called the meeting to order last night nnd introduced W. H. Been , who Is in the field for the oftlco of lieutenant governor. Mr. Dcch was not pleased with the size of the crowd , nnd after looking about the hall for a moment , said : "I have talked to an audience of 10,000 In a small country town , and tonight I feel dis gusted to think that the laboring men of Omaha have so little Interest in this inde pendent movement. Hut I am not In tne least dlsrourapiod. We can elect our ticket without the aid of Omaha , and if it comes down to tbo point we can get along without Lincoln , Plattsmouth , Nebraska City or Grand Island , for tbo country is solid. I have llgured out the vote nnd it will be about as follows : Independent , 85,000 ; democrat , 70,000 , and republican , < ! 5)0u.

To convince the independents of this ho said : "This tiu-iff is n great bug. bear , und has but little to do with the pros , pcrity of the country. We have had hurU times when we had a high , and good times when wo had a low tariff , and tlmo and again this has been reversed , so you see the tariff is not to blame.

Another evidence of the conscienceless manner In which the prohibitionists seek to strengthen their cause was discovered Fri day night in the Sixth ward. The registry for the First district of that ward has been located at Lyceum hall , on Twenty-fourth street , near the Fremont , Elkhorn & Mis souri Valley road. There are but n few houses in the vicinity , nnd , thinking that the hall contained the registration books , two hirelings of the prohibition crowd ut'cmptcd to break Into the hall to secure possession of them. About 10 o'clock on the night mentioned Thomas Condon , a railroad man residing in the neighborhood , heard somebody battering the front door of the hall and nastily ran to sco why It was being done. IIo found two fellows endeavoring to force the door open. They claimed to bo reporters for Tin : Bii : ! ih search of the registration re turns. Mr. Condon know that they were prohibition cappers because ho had pre viously seen them copying the registration lists of the district. Ho told them that they were lying , whereupon they admitted that they had no connection with this paper and wore working for the prohibitionists. They also offered to make It to Condon's In terest If ho would old them in entering the hall , because they were extremely anxious to secure the registry books. Condon Indignantly spurned the propo sition , whereupon tbo fellows beat n hasty retreat. This Is the llfth attempt which hi known to have been made by prohi bitionists to steal registration books In this city. The fellows who attempted the crime in this Instance nro still at largo , hut detec tives are on their track and it U expected that they will bo arrested today. Honrwiiter nnd St. John. Hon. E.

[ Special to TUB HKK. ] When the so-culled prohibition law went Into effect there wore forty-live saloons In Clinton , paying a license of $300 a } car e it'll. There bus never since then been less than that number , and when Mayor Gobble came Into oflleo 'lust .March thora were sixty- one , and now then ) arc fifty-seven , in u city of lo.iKW population. Ftfoin March , 1S8S , ( o March , 1890 , Clinton had n prohibition mayor , Mr. Chase , n gcntlemHii of high character , thoroughly conscientious , and an able law yer , wlio understood tile prohibition law nnd honestly endeavored ttf.'uiiforco It , but ho failed , except for aboutiwo weeks during his terra. terra.When Mayor Gobble Mrio Into ofllco last March , taking counsel .of his predecessor's failure , he at once Instructed his police to visit every saloon , take down tbo proprietor's name , street , number nnQ''tho number of his Internal revenue licensor'I The policemen re ported sixty-one saloons : The mayor waited until the legislature adjourned In April , to see If the prohibition law would be repealed nnd n high llcenso law substituted , and find ing that this was not done ho began a system of lines on all saloons of - . ' > a month and con tinues It to thU day. From these lines the city has already received since last May over ? ; ,000. There nro now fifty-seven open saloons , paying Into the city treasury over $1,400 n month , whereas under his predecessor's futile attempt to suppress them they , ) ; ild nothing , but on the contrary , the nbort- vo attempts to suppress them were a serious 'xpendlturo ' to the city. The tax levied gives no protection wluit- ver to the saloon keepers. Any citizen can t any tlmo lay an Information against them , lUtthls Is not done , because the cltl/rns ccognl/o that the existing situation Is the pest attainable under the prohibitory law.

[ Special to THE llin.l : When J. J. SnoutTer took the position of mayor ho held that tin authoii- .ies had no right under the charter to sclzo Iquors , close saloons or punish those engaged n business , neither did ho think the city hud any right to line saloon keepers and thereby take cognizance of their business. Any dis turbance of the peace , however , originating In these placus , or any drunkenness on the streets , was rigidly punished. When ho Mine into oflt''o ' ho found tbut u pool cx- 3 ted nmnn the saloon men nnd the funds of this pool paid will fines nnd costs arising out , of liquor sell ing. The Justices and constables were also in the pool. When an information was made against any member of the pool ho received timely warning , so that when the con stables went to tbo place they found nothing to seize. In this arrangement consisted the "rake off" of the county olllclals , and ho be lieves it exists today. Formerly policemen were used ns Informers , ut ho lit once put. u stop to that by forbidding bis policemen , under penalty of liistuutdismissal , from en tering any saloon except for the purpose of maintaining the peace. ' So far as the city Is concerned , iiotn ceut of revenue results from the liquor traffic. Cedar Huplds , according to the late censu , has a population of soihethlng over eighteen thousand , and 1-4S Internal revenue licenses have been issued In tno , city. Of thtbo I'-'o nro for saloon purposes aud1 the balance for drug stores. > iVccordlug to Mayor Snouffer , the almost unanimous sentiment of the business men of Cedar Hnpids Is in favor of high license. Prohibition u recognized nnd admitted by almost everyone to bo'disastrous to the city , notwithstanding that it Has not been enforced nor that the saloons have been nt any tlmo closed by the law. Ho believes , as business men generally do , that tbo substitution of a high license law for the prohibition law- would at once advance rents " 0 per cent and real estate values at least 10 per cent. MayorSuoufferowns in a railroad town near by a piece of property that was worth $ J,000 , before prohibition went into effect and was nt all times bringing him a good rental. Slnco that time the property has been without a tenant. Ho has not paid the tuxes for 1889 , amounting to fl'-VJO , and will not so long as the prohibitory law remains. .He bus a store building in the city , now rented for $40 a niontu , that his tenant says ho would willingly pay $100 per month for under a high license system. The mayor says there can be no doubt whatever that at the next session of the legiblaUiro prohibition will bo killed , for the people generally are now disgusted with its effects. There is a brewery here , that of Magnus , that Is In full operation and has been almost continuously. Another , that of Williams docs not brew now , finding it moro profitable to import beer from Milwaukee or St. Louis.

The Noted Hcont Thrown from Ills Horse Ills Service * . BUFFALO , Wyo. , Oct. ai. [ Special to Tin : Br.K. ] Frank Urunnl , the scout of Fort Me Klnncy , was bucked from his horse on tbo Uuth and badly shaken up. lie lay from 9 p. m. till daylight , and then nearly frozen , ho got up and walked three miles to the post. Frank has quite a history. He is half Frenchman and half Snndwlch islander. IIo was brought to this country when a mere boy from Honolulu , ran the mull for the govern ment on the Pacific coast for years , und when nineteen years old was captured bv Crazy Horse's band of Sioux Indians. His arms show the spots from which his Indian cap tors look MS pieces of flesh. A needle was run through the flesh nnd lifted , and with n knife the desired tit-bit , or piece of flesh \yiis cut out. Ills life was spared nnd ho married n squaw. Trouble with tils wife's relations caused him to leave and thru ho became Iden tified with the United States troops in all the Indian campaigns. General Crook said of him that ho would rather bo deprived of one- third of his command than to lose the ser vices of Frank Gruard.

The new steel cruiser Philadelphia , bearing the blue pennant of Hear Admiral Kimberly , president of the naval board of inspection , returned this morning from n lorty-eight hours' trial at sea. The cruiser has been accepted by the government , but this llnnl trial was pre scribed In the builders' contract for the pur pose of testing her sea-going qualities and discovering any Intent weakness in construc tion which might have developed. The tests were in the main satisfactory , although the board finds room for improvement in u few minor details. Owing to the foul condition of the cruiser's bottom no trial of speed over a measured course was made. Discharges of the guns in the main battery developed de fects In the ccrriiigos of three of the six-Inch rifles which will probably disable them. General Merrltt'H Heport. WASHINGTON , Nov. 1. Brigadier General Morritt , commanding the department of Mis souri , In his annual report , speaking of uf fairs hi Oklahoma , says the cattlemen show no disposition to violate the conditions governing their stay. Affairs in the territory are quiet. Owing to the severe drought the corn crop in many sections Is almost a total failure , und the funning industry not having been sufficiently organised , there Is consider able destitution among the people in the country districts. There has been n decrease in the number of desertions and , says Gen eral Merrill , everything leads to the hope that the measures taken against this evil by congress and the war department will lii another year mitigate if they do not wholly remove a crime which has been so serious a matter to the army and the country.

HOW TO VOTE AGAINST PROHIBITION , Those who desire to engraft the license principle coupled with regulation upon the con stitution and forever prevent statutory prohibition as it now exists in Iowa , should vote against the prohibition amend ment and for the Jjcensc amend ment. Remember a vote for the li cense amendment is not a vote against prohibition. These propositions arc entirely sep arate. If you want to defeat prohibition you must vote against prohibition. The following- the form of the anti-prohibition ticket : "A g a i n s t the Proposed Amendment to the Constitu tion , prohibiting the manufac ture , sale , and keeping for sala of ' bev intoxicating'liquors as a erage. " "For Proposed Amendment to the constitution , that the manufacture , sale , and keeping for sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage in this state shall be licensed and regu lated by law/1
