Our readers will, no doubt. remem-
Der that about a year and a half ago,
a spirit of resistance 70 the liquor traf-
fic spread all over the Northwest like
an epidemic, breaking out, not in or
derby gatherings and legal proceed
ings, but in violent attacks on liquor,
shops. and often on their keepers
And more remarkable even than the
spirit exhibited. was the class of per-
sons in whom it was exhibited. AL
most without exception, women were
the prime movers and active agents
ia these affairs. In Wisconsin, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, and, we believe, in
Michigan, numerous doggeries clean
ed out, and keepers turned out to an
honest occupation, attested the depth
Of the hatred of this nefarious bust
ness which filed the gentle heart Of
woman. The evil, irrepressible by
such laws as then existed, had become
insufferable, aud however we may
censure the mode of relief afforded.
we cannot wonder at it. Self-preser-
walton, or the preservation of those
dearer than themselves. impelled it,
1t was unlawful, wrong, but most nat
ural.
The same spirit is abroad again
But its manifestations have been con-
fined to this State The decision of
the Supreme Court. which opened the

Kansas to be q Stats - So uatter Sow

Senator Douglas, from the Commit
tee on Territories, has reported a bill
for the admission Of Kansas into the
Union. II provides that when the pop
ulation shall amount 10 1920. the
Legislature may provide by law for the
election Of delegates to form State
Constitution, and delegates to be Ell.
ected by the representative districts.

Der Of delegates to which Il may be
entitled to representatives in the Ter
riIorial Legislature; and that at said
election all white male Inhabitants 2
years Of age, who have resided SIX
months in the territory and three
months in the district. and possess The
Other qualifications OF electors. shall
be entitled to vote. II also provides
that sections sixteen and lhiriy-six
shall be appropriated for the. use Of
schools: that sevsnty-two sections
shall be set apart for q State Univ ersI-
y. and ten sections for the erection Of
State buildings; that all the salt springs
not exceeding twelve In number. shall
be given TO the State; and that FIVE
per cent. Of the net proceeds Of sales
Of land shall be given TO tho State for
internal Improvements.
This is an Abandonment Of the most
distinguished feature Of DouglaPs

an amendment to that bill 10 providing
for an early admission Of that State,

caused by the unchecked outrages OF

alluded to the frequent murders COM

Unless some severe step is taken the
whites will DO wiped out entirely. He
earnestly appealed for an appropria.
ton Of 8 100000. 10 secure the SER
vices Of friendly Indians, who alone
could in summer penetrate to the hi

He introduced a bill for that purpose,
and tho same was referred to the

Ways and Means, said the matter
would be considered Immediately.
