SENATOR SUMNER.

We could do no moro last week
than make the mere announcement OF
Senator Summers death. He was
one of Americas great men; and
was honored, even by his enemies.
for his extensive learning and able
craftsmanship. For commanding
ability he had no peer in the Senate,
If in the country. AS a debater he
was second to none. His intense
egotism gave to his satire a refined
cruelty which was calculated to de-
stroy an opponent. 1t gave his sar.
casm a keenness which was intend.
ed to pierce to the marrow.
Mr.. Sumner was not q popular
man he was too austerc, and the
dignity of his general appearance
repealed all familiarity. lie. owed
his elevation to the post he filled sc
long to towering ability and un'
flinching rectitude.
His OLD time friends censured hin
for the course he pursued in thu
last Presidential campaign, but hi
death will cause them to forget sucl
things. The nation mourns thu
death of q great Statesman.

EDITOR NEws.-In reading the
account of the temperance move
ment by the women in Ohio, In
diana and other states, the mind
dwells upon places nearer home.
Why must this unholy traffic be
continued in Emporia? We, the tax
payers, have right to complain Of
it in financial point of view. Let
me recite two cases in Miami eoun-
ty, in the state of Indiana: An
Irishman became intoxicated in
Peru, froze his feet, had them am
putated, was taken to the County
Poor house aud kept there until it
cost the county $500. Two 9TH
ers got in the same fix and cost the
county $1,000. The record stands
in the court house to day. And
these two are not uncommon cases.
Now what right had q German
Infidel, or any one else, to impose
this cost on the tax payers of that
county.
And what is true of Miami coun-
ty, Ind; is true of Lyon county,
Kansas. A great share of the taxes
of this county are directly and in
directly to be charged to the traffic
in liquors. How can we find lam
guage tn express our contempt for
the human being that is willing to
bring ruin upon the happy families
in the land for the few paltry dol
lars they may get from the poor
slaves OF appetite?
"They are like the GUNNER mole
That creeps into our moving;
Compared with the Hessian ny
That spells our wheat when growing"
And yet it seems that the public
sentiment of Emporis sustains this
Infamous traffic. Every case of as
sault and battery originates in the
saloon. The fees of iurymen wit
nesses, County Attorney, ETC., are
paid by the citizens, mostly by
those who despise this Infamous
traffic; and yet the vast cost in dol
lars and cents are not worth con-
sidering compared with the moral
aspect of the question. If there are
praying women in Emporia who
have faith to undertake the work
may God put it into their hearts to
commence.
will give yOu few statistics,
taken from official records, and
close. The aggregate of imported
and domestic distilled and spirit
uous liquors, brewed and fermen-
ted liquors, and imported and do
nestle wines, for the year 1870,
amounted in valution, to the sum
of Sl.4S3, 4sl, 1855 then add 100000
600 for the cost of litigation,
crimes, imprisonment caused by the
use of intoxicating liquors and we
have the sum of 81, $50, 48l, 1865 for
one year there were 10000 liquor
saloons in the United States sup.
posed to have 40 daily customers on
an average making in all 5000, 900
dram drinkers. The total number of
persons engaged in the liquor bus
mess that year was 560, COO; this
number exceeds by more than AGO.
600 the whole number OF the Min
listers of the gospel and school
teachers in the United State-1O0,
600 drunkards imprisoned annually
for crime and 10000 go to the
drunkard's grave. Taking these
things into consideration is the
traffic not nuisance.

smokist OF Kansas. Columns of

numerous smoke stacks and chin

We are also constrained to say,
that when It is not drizzling, the
