ConkIing and His Temper.

Among the many reasons demanding Mr.. COnk.
lingis defeat is his violent and yindietive temper
which keeps him at enmity with more than half the
prominent men in the Republican party. just look
the list. Mr.. Conkling for years did not speak
with Charles Sumner; he parted with Seward he
quarreled and broke relations with Ecssenden; he
was on i'll terms with Trumbnll he was a mortal
enemy Of Grimes: he held intercourse with
Schurz; he openly quarreled with Elihu Washburne,
and ceased TO speak 10 his two brothers; he broke
with Bristow and abused AttorneyGeneralH Hear, and
aided in forcing him out of Grants cabinet and keep
ing him off the Supreme bench. lie quarreled vi.
ciously with Zach Chandler. and for reason
begged TO make il up. These are few of the nota-
Bile enmities that are scattered along Mr. COnklng
peaceful pathway in the past. AT present he holds
no intercourse with John Sherman; has openly
broken with General Hawley; is a vindictive enemy
Of George D. Hoar; quarreled with Gen. Burnside
twice. win rot speak to Ferry, of Michigan: refused
to speak to Senator Window because he voted 10
confirm Merritt, and treated Senator kirkwood the
same way. Both these gentlemen have since increas-
ed their ot.ense by going into Garfeds cabinet We

~ If the prohbitory legislation of Kansas and
the agitation for similar laws in other States of the
South and West To have any effect upon the pro
duction and consumption of lager beer and other
malt liquors. it has not yet become apparent The
statistics furnished by the Brewers Convention just
adjourned Mt Chicago show that the manufacture Of
these beverages, which in 1863 amounted TO less than
2OOOOO barrels has increased steadily every year,
until it exceeded l3 900 barrels for 1880
keg for every man, woman and child in the United
States. This progressive increase to have
tinued even into the present year, the revenue
ceipts from this for the year ending the Both
of last March exceeding those of the preceding year
by nearly s700,OOO
The new constitutional amendment of Kansas, and
the laws passed in conformity with it, will probably
put an end in great measure, TO the manufacture of
malt liquors in that State; but there is law TO
prevent the importation of beer from other States for
private consumption in households and clubs and
those who want il easily get il in that way. One
effect of the prohibition of beer brewing in Kansas
will thus be increase of its manufacture in other
States; in other words, the diversion of part Of
the business of Kansas to other Ssate and with il of
the taxes which that business would have Welded.
Meantime, to the many who believe that the wisest
way TO promote practical temperance is to substitute
beer drinking for that of spirituous liquors, the
steady increase in the Of the brewrries will
be fact of interest and n of satisfacton.-N
