Now for few facts upon the IL
cense system. In 1855 the prohibi-
tionists of Maine lost the election
of Governor, and the prohibitory
law was repealed and a stringent
license ldtc substituted. With what
result 2 The Bangor Mercury said ::
We are informed by a person in
the express business that the GUAM
uty of liquors brought to this city
this season is tenfold greater than it
was last year.
The Calais Advertiser said:
'9We have seen more men reeling
drunk through our streets the past
three months than we have seen be-
fore in the last three years"
This has been the history of Ii
cense wherever adopted,as we could
easily show. But it is argued that
we can have some revenue from the
traffic if we license it, and If it will
be sold anyhow why not have the
revenue? And is this the way that
sober men reason? Alas, for prin-
eiple. You undertake to say that
all men shall stand back and keep
hands off the licensed criminal.
You make us lock our court houses
and lails against him; you say
stand back iniured-deeply injured
family; we dare you to touch our IL
eensed criminal. He may injure you
all he can but you must not touch q
hair of his head he has paid for the
privilege. This is licensed Mr.. B.
pet scheme to restrict, curb, check,
and if possible prohibit the traffic.
But further, the State of Kansas
recognizes rumsellpg as a crime
as such the law concerning it mus;
be prohibitory whether enforced OIL
not, for the principle of law is Ii.
cense for good institutions, as CO
operations, turnpikes, railroads. etc.
but prohibition for all crime. Blu
says one, if the law is constantly
violated better have no law agains
it. Why not reason thus agains
all crime? why not repeal our law
against theft, murder, counterfeit
ing and the like; to be consistent
You must sweep all criminal Law
from our statutes.
In conclusion we ask all trn'
friends of the cause and all wht
have been indifferent hitherto, t.
come up and drive the enemy from
our bolders. NJ. J. FREY,

1NCENDIARIsM.-Th National
Board of Fire Underwriters at their
late meeting in the city of New
York resolved to raise a fund of
100000 for the detection, conVic-
ton and punishment of parties en-
gagged in the nefarious business of
incendiarism and arson. phe Ex-
ecutive Committee of that Board at
their meeting on the 18th inst. car
ried out the resolution and opened
the subscription. We hail this
movement as step in the right di-
rection, and commend the action as
one not only likely to benefit I'm
derwriters, but also to protect the
public from wholesale loss. This
action is more important when it is
remembered that the experience of
the large companies transacting the
business of fire insurance in the
United States shows that the pro-
portion of loss to be attributed to
the above causes is not less than 33
per cent. of the whole, or a loss to
the country of at least twenty five
millions of dollars per annum.-

Washington, Iowa, May 23.-Ad-.
dltIonal news from the tornado
makes the damage a great deal more
than reported. Six more persons
have died, making eight in all.
There are many others who are very
low, and whose lives are despaired
OF. We have not yet been able TO
hear from other parts of the coun-
try as to what extent the storm has
ragged.
A telegram from Sigourney says
that ct Lancaster every house but
one was entirely dertroyed, but no
one killed, though many were seri-
ously hurt.
The tornado then seemed TO lift
and come down again in Illinois. A
| telegram saws:
| Prairie City, Ills, May ga
| fearful tornado passed one and q
half miles north of this place yes
terday about 10 p. M, the extent
of which is not yet known here.
though we have heard from it ten
to fifteen miles east and west. The
storm travelled eastward, sweeping
nearly everything within half a mile
in width, blowing down houses,
barns and out-houses, and killing
and ipjuring several persons. A
number of horses and cattle were
killed and injured.
While Kansas has heavy and con-
tinuous winds, it seems almost en-.
tirely exempt from tornados. These
terrible visitants come everyIyear in
the States north and east of us, but
for some reason are kind enough to
keep away from us. The gale which
damaged EIdorado in 1870 was tht
only thing approaching q tornado
that we remember to have recorded
in Kansas.
