A Eair Eaaa

We have lately had talk with gentleman
from prominent Northern Kansas town, a Coun-
ty Seat, at which the No License ticket prevail
ed, last Spring. This gentleman never drinks in
toxicating liquors, but is not in favor Of passing
laws to compel any other man to come down to
his standard of taste. The County has heavy
population of Germans and Engiishmen, who are
the most prosperous farmers in the County. The
leading store i'm the place is owned by an Eng
lishman, who had very heavy trade-nearly
all his countrymen dealing with him, besides
Germans and Americans. Last Spring, as we
said, no license prevailed, but not Temperance; !;
for almost every man had his own private keg
or jug. But trade began to fall off, and this
merchant sat in his store day by day, seeing his
old English and German customers pass on
through, TO trade at u town twelve miles away.
He could not understand it. He had always
dealt fairly by them, and had not knowingly
given any cause for offence. Finally, he one day
hailed squad of his old friends, rs they were
passing through, and inquired why it was that
they had stopped trading with him. "well,"
was the reply, 1--WE have no fault to find with
your goods or your prices, but we have determ-
ined not to spend another dollar in a town that
is so bigoted that it will not allow MS to have a
glass of beer when we come here to spend our
money. We are no drunkards aud have never
created disturbance in town; but we have been
used to our beer and ale, and will do our trading
where they allow to buy it. "why, if that
is all, said the merchant, "there need be no
further trouble. l can take you to plenty of
places where You can get all yOu want" ''No,"
replied the farmer, "we will not steal drinks,

THE TEMPERANCE ANENDNEST-The argument Of
the Capital il repeated and again, that every
man who opposes the proposed prohihitory amend
ment is working hand-in-hand with the lquor deal
and for the interests of the latter and the fact
that the Amendment is earnestly opposed by liquor
dealers il cited argument IN favor OF the
Amendment - n temperance measure. The fact IL,
that the best temperance men in the State believe
that the Amendment will prove dead letter
temperance or prohibitory measure. hence they op-
pose preferrng TO let the present icenselaw stand
under which the sale of intoxicating liquors he
regulated and Illegal sales punished. Under the law
il is, there is legal well moral rcsponsi-
bility. The traffic is controlled now by law. The
liquor dealers oppose the Amendment because it
destroys their business. Abolish the license system
and of irresponsible persons will sell TO aud
supply al those who want it, No law can he made
strong enough and effective enough to reach the
thousand and one who will keep casks. demiiohn-,
and bottles in cellars and back-alleys- The quanti-
ty of liquor consumed will not be decreased. IL will
be therefore that the two classes of opponents
act from entirely different motives and that the
temperance not working for the interests Of
the liquor dealers but in the interests of public
nls and public security.-juneiiOn City Union.

~ For the one thousandth time, it is an
nounced that Republican differences have been
healed, and that Conkling will 20 to work fol-
the ticket. Isn't this becoming little bit mo-
notonous: How much healing does it require
to get Conkling to work. We have not heard
that it required any healing of differences to get
Blaine to work but he is hard at it already, and
has his work mapped ont until the close of the
campaign. Even Grant, who had more occasion
than any of that side to feel sore has been healed
for a long time, and has been doing work that
tells in his short, quiet way.

s'EANsAs MEMoRIAL"-We have received from
Charles $. Gleed of Topeka, copy Of the latest
valuable Kansas book, of which number have
already been produced. This one is called the
''Kansas Memorial being full record of the
celebration of first quarter century anniversary
of the settlement of Kansas, at Bismarck Grove,
Lawrence, in September, 1879. 1t contains full
stenographic reports of all the addresses and po-
ems delivered the occasion, and a complete
registry of all the names recorded in the book
kept on the ground, giving the date and place OF
birth of each one, the date of settlement in Kan
sas, and present place of residence. 1t makes a
book of 26l pages, is admirably arranged, and
elegantly printed. 1t is book which Kansas
need not lie ashamed Of either in matter or style.

SEE THEM CoME!-We have missed the old IA
miliar list of accessiOns to Hancock from the
Democratic papers, for the past week but we
are happy to say the boom has not collapsed.
From other but entirely trustworthy sources, we
have large list of prominent Republicans, many
of them distinguished Union officers in the War,
who have just declared for the superb soldier.
To show that the list is genuine, we need but
mention few of the names: John W. Forney,
Gen. Pearson, Leonard W. Jerome, Potter Palmer,
l. s. Kalloch, Patrick II. Jones, Gen. - Skim
merhorn Cen Betchuras, ,Gen.-Piswisky.

HANCOCK AND Mis- SURRATr.-The st. Joe Herald
saws: The hanging of Mrs. Surratt Icy President
ANDY johnson and Gen. Hancock is not an affair that
Republican papers called upon to discuss. Fol
fifteen years the Democratic papers have been de
elaring that the hanging of Mrs. Surratt crime
a crime of which Union men were guilty. Put they
took Andy johnson back into their party, and now
they have taken Hancock for their leader If they
are satisfied we are. But will they dare to repub
lish the articles of the past fifteen yearsi We shall
see. The Froeman's Journal aud Catholic Register o
March last said of Gen. Hancock:
That he did not heed the supposed law of th,
United States that the civil is always above the mill
tary." ..The popular civil objection to Gen Han
cock il not that he transmitted order from Secre
tary Stanton to Hartranft to hang innocent wo
man, but that he disrsgdIrisd the writ of writs.
That writ was served Gen. Hancock Had hs
obeyed it he would in all probability have been Pres
ident of the United States

OUGHT TO BE TRUE.-It is said that IL Garfield
is elected, one of his first appointments will be
that of Gen. Grant as Minister to England. There
is probably not word Of truth in it, hut such
an appointment would be nightly pleasing to
the Republican party all over the country.
Fiercely as a majority Of them opposed Grants
nomination for third term, it was only the
third term that they opposed, but would rejoice
to see Grant honored otherwise; and this posi-
ton of Minister TO England is one that would
just suit him, and we believe he is well suited

Treating The Wrong Disease.

Many times women call upon their family physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with palpitation, another with trouble ofthe breast, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy going and indifferent doctors, sep arate and distinct diseases, for which he pre- scribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such when, in reality, they ace all symp- toms caused by some uterine disorder; and while they are thus oAly able perhaps to palli- ate for time, they are ignorant of the cause, and encourage their practice until large bills are made, when the suffering patients are no better in the end, but probably worse for the delay, treatment, and other complications made, and which proper medicine directed to the cause would have entirely removed, thereby instituating health and comfort in- stead of prolonged misery.
