A fleet Ijiu'al Option.
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 , "

Kov. Holt Introduced a resolution miming

Very Uov. William Cholta , administrator of
the diocese of Omaha ; " 1'roltlbiilon seems
to me a sacrifice of principle that certain con

doubtful if u drunkard can bo reformed by
force. "
Hov. P. F. Mi-Cnithy , St. Phllomena's
cathedral ; "If prohibition would benellt
Omaha I should be heartily In favor of it , but
the opinions of our most astute business men

"Our people are not In sympathy with anything -
thing of the sort and -shall not preach for
prohibition on that day , nor shall 1 tulto up a

Hev. Wlllard Scott ! "There Is a law Mid

Hev. A. Leard , Knox Presbyterian church :

Swoarini ; in Your Vote.
The last chance to register preparatory- t
the election next Tuesday expired last night.
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.
This formality wlll.consume a great deal of
tlmo , nnd the cltl/en who is so unfortunate
ns not to have registered ought to sot out o-rly
la the morning to ea-,1 his b.illot.

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. ( ) "
After this Mr. Deck Informed his hearers
that thu voters are tired of hearing people
talk tariff , nnd want something that
will bo of benefit to thorn In the way of re
ducing taxes. 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. "

Prohibit I on Hoitse-Brcakcm.
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.

until the legislature adjourned In April , to

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 ,

month , whereas under his predecessor's
futile attempt to suppress them they

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.
From four to flvo carloads of boor are received
ceived in tbo city dully , In addition to that
muuufuctured hero.
HoRowatcr and St. John.
Hon. E. Uosewntor has challenged John P.
St. John to debate prohibition nt the Coli
seum this ( Sunday ) afternoon nt 2 o'clock.
There will bo "speclall music. " Everybody
is invited. Admission free uud tbo hat

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.

NKW Yonic , Nov. 1. 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
