PROHIBITION IN KANSAS.

adopted at the recent election. II is founded
on the assumption that the only efectual
method of preventing drunkenness is 10

the manufacture and sale Of the article that
produces it. Whether this prohibition can
be enforced or not, however, is question
which experience does not sufficiently an-
swer. There was no considerable oppose
ton made to the amendment in the canvass.
A large sum Of money was collected outside
the state and sent into 1t to defeat the prop
osit,on. but it is said that this money, instead
of being expended in efforts against the
amendment, was appropriated by the COM
mittees and persons into whose hands it was
intrusted, who did nothing 10 earn it. This
mastery inactivity on the part OF those who
were expected TO oppose the proposition.

those who favored 1.-THE women ardently

about the adoption Of the measure by small
majority. Theoretically, at least therefore.
Kansas is, from this time forth. TO be freed

amendment shall be enforced 50 that no spir-

ballots for President did not vote at ali on
the prohibition amendment. That propos-
ition, although adopted by a majority Of a
little over 5000 votes, lacks nearly 900
votes of having a majority Of all the ballots
east at the election.
Not single county in the State, SO far as
heard from. gave Democratic majority or
plurality. The Republican vote exceeds the
Democratic vote two to one. Kansas is un-
questionable the "Banner Republican
State" The Republican majority is far lar
ger, in proportion to the total vote polled,
than that of Iowa Out of total vote of
-, s33 polled in Iowa, the Republican ma
jority is only 4a,Oa4: while in Kansas. out Of
total vote of 199.2oa, the Republican ma
is 4i.3l7.
The total vote of the State, in 1876. was
l2t,o00, while this year it will exceed 200, 900,
showing an increase. in four years, Of over
5000 votes. The vote Of no other State in
the Union, we think. will show so large a
proportionate characterization Champion.

JUDGE TEACHER ON TIE CONSTITUTION
AL AMENDMENT.
LAWRENCE, Kas.. Nov. 8, 1888,

LAWkENCE, mas. NV y, Ac9V'
Darid 9. Beach, Esq.,:
DEAR SIR: Yours Of the 9Th inst. asking
my views respecting the effect Of the adOp-
ton of the constitutional amendment, touch
ing the sale Of intoxicating liquors upon IL
ccnses heretofore granted to sell intoxicants
by municipal or county auth critics, is ut
hand.
| think the amendment repeats or rescinds
these licenses They are not contracts With
in the meaning Of the federal constitution.
They spring from the police power OF the
state-its duty to protect and care for the
welfare OF its citizens. This power OF the
state is not the subject of contract. The state
cannot bind its hands against its right and
duty to defend its people from that which
might injurc the happiness or good order OF
society. The point to be expressly adJudl'
Gated as have above indicated in kalder VS..
Kurby, 5 Gray Mass 597. That case de-
cides that these license laws are "liable to
be modified and repealed whenever in the
Judgment of the legislature it had tailed to
accomplish its Objects" namely, prevent
injurious practices and preserve the good Or
der and welfare of the community"
The state cannot cvade its duty in this be-
half by making an irrevocable law. When
ever in its deliberate Judgements in this
case is expressed by the voice. of the people
themselves-the license law fails to effect the
idea of protect on of society, that moment its
duty to frame new legislation adequate to
the desired end begins. Yours truly,
8. o. TEACHER.

that the question Of actual guilt Of forgery
be left t. the consideration Of . jury, before
whom additional and, perhsps, more .decis-
i've evidence may be brought. 1t must be
the wish of al honorable minds that this
case will lead, not only the discovery Of the
guilty, but to the enactment Of laws that
will prevent or severely punish Odenses Of
this character. Whoever may be guilty in
this case, the right thinking everywhere
must look upon this act ~ an appalling
crime, wholly at war with the safety and
sanctity of popular government. Fortu-
nately, no committee and no body Of men
hold in their hands the conscience Of the
people, and no party fealty is strong enough
to interpret the sentence Of condemnation
nouncc upon such guilt. The men most
criminal in this case may not be reached by
the hand OF justice. but they will find NO
| party willing 10 bear aud share with them
the just measure Of infamy and scorn that
awaits them. As they have failed in their
guilty purpose. SO they will fail in securing
the approval even Of those for whose success
they have done the guilty work. 1t will be
a small consolation to know that they have
gained by this forgery few useless electO-
raj votes, melted an Infatuated mob to the
murder of a few unofendlng human beings
and caused a few Of their own agents to SUI
fer for perjuries and misdemeanors."
During the delivery Of the decision the
court room was very quiet, the auditors list
ening with close attention to every word.
Amusement was manifested by Miles dur
ing some passages portraying the utter fail
ure Of the attempts to show that such per.
son as Henry L. Morey ever had existed, and
there was slight rustic many spectators
turned to look at one another during the
comments of the Court on Mr.. Hewitt's con-
nection with the ease.
When Judge Davis closed, by announcing
that he should hold the prisoner, Gen. Pryor
put the question as to the amount Of bail.
The Court said the bail could remain as al
ready fixed, 5000, and that the present
bondsmen would be accepted.
At the suggestion OF Mr.. Brooks the Court
consented TO adjourn the preparation of the
new bond until Monday next, at I'm
| The counsel for Mr.. Hart rose and said
that the witness Lindsey in his confession
had alleged that he, the counsel, when con-
versing with him before the witness testified,
remarked. "That is all you will have to
swear to- The counsel denied this, and
declared he only said to witness, ''That will
do" meaning that the interview was ended.
Judge Davis said he had nothing to do
with this, but eXcupated counsel from any
charge of improper behavior in the public
proceedings. He referred to S. Golfers con-
duet in securing the production Of the Mo-
rey letter and envelope in Court, and the
counsel expressed his thanks for the Courts
remarks. The court room was then vacated.

TREATMENT OF spzoor1c INFLUENZA

should like to occupy few lines Of your
valuable space describing the method Of
treatment used by the majority Of practical
horsemen in England in all cases ofinhuenza
or epizooty. which will doubtless prove BEN
eficial to many of your readers who may not
be located near large city like New York,
where the best talent is always on hand at
the shortest notice. The treatment is SIM
pie. inexpensive and easily applied.
When the disease first makes its appear
ance. clothc the horses well with hood and
blankets, attending particularly to the stop
ping of all draughts; bandage after dressing
and well hand rubbing, taking them off at
night. Let the diet be hot mash three times
day. composed principally Of bran, adding
two qaurts of good old oats to each mash, or
substituting pint Of stewed linseed in the
evening mash with an ounce OF nItre every
alternate day; in all cases avoiding Indian
meal. In addition to the above, provide
yourself with a quantity Of vinegar mix it
with as you wish; put it into a pitcher: heat
piece Of iron, say the kitchen poker, put it
into the vinegar, and hold under the animals
nose. Do this as often as you can, taking
care to wash the nostrils out every time.
In some cases, when the attack is bad, the
disease not only shows itself by nasty dis
charge from the nostrils, but also by ulcera-
ting the throat, which shows itself extern
ally by swelling and the animal refusing its
food. To meet this cose get the following
ingredients, mix well together and apply
once day, well rubbing in each time, COM
mcncing at the root OF the car and down.
wards to the tongue: Four ounces of sweet
oil, four ounces OF ammonia, and eight
prachms of iodine. This simple composition
is invaluable as linimcnt for very many
other things. Rest is advisable, more espec-
tally on account of the temperature. which
ought to be kept as even as possible, and As
warm. In cases Of necessity, when the
weather is not cold. with careful driving and
good management, many horses pull through
without being land up; but not without Civ
ing their constitution \ good shaking, and
leaving it so impaired that in many cases the
animal becomes comparatively worthless.
l conclude by saying that the above treat
ment will cure infiuenza-and epizooty is
nothing but influenza. II properly and at
tentively applied it will cure rs quickly and
efectually as anything l ever heard OF, and,
moreover. there is laid no foundation for
other diseases. In some cases the animal

of aconite every two hours. until you see the
