The prohibition law in Kansas has
got the citizens of almost every town
on their ears. The WnfeId Tele.
gram, speaking of the matter in its
town, says:
No one wishes to see this question
assume the phase it has in Wichita,
Topeka, Lawrence, and other cities,
where the inhabitants are said to be
engaged much of the time in quar-
reling with and abusing each other.
They congregate on street corners
and quarrel from early morning till
late at night about the merits of the
temperance law. From argument
they sometimes get to blows, and the
result is q neighborhood row and
probably a law suit. Business is
suspended, peace gives way to a war
of words and blows, men turn them
selves into informers and periurers,
and rs a result of the attempt to en-
force the law which assumes to reg
nlate matters that should be regu-
lated alone according to the iudg,
ment and sense of the individual
communities.
1t looks very much as if the "pro.
hibition'' of the sale of whisky and
beer, kicked up more "hades" than
the selling Of it.

N1isdirected BenevoIence.
New York Sun.

It appears that our rich and dis
tinguish ed fellow citizen, Sir Cyrus
w. Field, and some of his compeers,
propose to raise a subscription of
$25O,000 for the benefit of Mrs. Gar
field, wife of the President of the
United States.
Benevolence is a quality hardly
lower in rank than the religious SEN
timent. But there is no quality of
the human soul SO exalted that ifleft
to grope in the dark, it may not take
a wrong direction. Thus when the
spirit of worship is allowed to range
wildly in blindness, it sometimes
leads to idolatry, to the worship Of
sticks and stones, and bats and mice,
and birds, and fine clothes, and
stocks, and houses.
Benevolence also often goes astray.
We think it goes astray when it
proposes to put a large gift into the
white and delicate hand of q living
Presidents wife. 1t seems to us an
insult to her. Her husband still
lives, and seems likely to live, and
to have the dispensation of immense
official patronage. She is believed
to have great influence over him.
Naturally, she is expected to be
grateful. At all events she is hu-
man. If, for instance, Sir Cyrus w.
Field could by possibility be brought
to resign himself into the service of
the Government, and to %supersede
that "literary feller," James Russell
Lowell, as Minister to England, how
c7uld she say him nay after he hau
been the active agent in giving her
a quarter of a million Of dollars?
Should the President unfortunate.
ly die, then, we say, let a million Of
dollars be raised for his helpless fam
lily by popular subscription in three
days; but not n dollar while he
lives, and while it may look like
bride.

1t is a fault for Sitting Bull to be no
longer spoken of as a terrible chief,
but as a corner store loafer. A
storekeeper at GU Appellee writes to
Winnipeg as follows:
"We are daily feeling trouble con
corning Sitting Bull. To-day he
called ut my store for sugar. 1t was
given him but he remained in the
place, refusing to go until I had
given him something to eat. Sub
sequently 1 was compelled to hustle
the noble red man out of the place."
So, after being the slayer of, Gus
ter and the Indian most feared on
the continent, Sitting Bull is hustled
about by a grocer.

The Democratic platform is. ad-
mirable. 1t is in striking contrast
with the weak, cowardly thing the
Republicans call their platform, but
which the party organs are ashamed
to print, and of which dare not ex-
plain the meaning. The Democratic
creed is briefly but plainly summed
up in the preamble:
L. The equality of all people be-
fore the law.
2. Equal taxation.
3. Non-partisan legislation.
4. A free and pure ballot as the
cornerstone of free institution.
5. Opposition to monopolies and
subsidies of all kinds.
6. The strictest economy in ma
tional, State and local admin:stra-
tions, that labor may be lightly bur
dened.
Z. The maintenance and advance
mento of the common school system.

that the public institutions of Ohio
shall be made non-partisan. Here is

punitive institutions of the state

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent
July II, 1881.

w ASHINGTON, u. Ia, 4
July II, 1881.
Yesterday and Monday were al
most as dismal in Washington as the
corresponding days of the previous
week. In some way an impression
had gotten abroad that the President
was rapidly growing weaker, and
that the case had got beyond the con
troll of the physicians. 1t was known
that ON Monday there was an extra
ordinary and wholly unexpected rise
in the temperature of the patients
body, and the official bulletin placed
it close to the figures at which death
is inevitable. Tuesday mornings
bulletin reported a. reduction, but
unofficial statements direct from the
White House said the President was
much weaker than at any previous
time and was himself losing hope.
This mornings report was encour-
aging, but public belief in the Pres
ident's recovery, SO strong here in
the latter part Of the week, has not
been restored fully. The artificial
cooling of the Presidents room is
under most complete control. The
temperature in the room can be kept
at n desired point, and the air is
drier even than that in rooms of
the house. in which the apparatus is
not used. The successful man in
the case is a New Yorker, temporari-
ly living in Baltimore, and the pat
entee Of nearly two hundred inven
lions.
Vice President Arthur left town
this. morning. He will remain in
New York for the present, however,
so as to be within early call if alarm
ing symptoms should be developed
in the Presidents case. He goes
with the concurrence of the Cabinet,
as he came, at its request. He did
not see the President, the physicians
fearing the effect of the excitement,
but had several interviews with Mrs.
Garfield.
All the Presidents friends say he
will not accept or wish any member
of his family to accept the quarter OF
a million of dollars now being sub
scribed in New York. In the cases
of Presidents Taylor and Lincoln,
Congress voted to the survivors OF
the deceased Presidents the full sal
airy of the remainder of their terms,
and if, unhappily, the like fatal re-
suit should occur in this case, it
would doubtless do the same. II
would-no doubt be more satisfying
to all oncernedt that Congress should
by a unanimous act thus provide for
the Presidents representatives, than
to accept money as a gift from aim
tied number of persons. Guiteau's
health continues good, and his appe'
tite enables him TO dispose of the
full allowance of prison fare. That
his mind is out of balance seems
certain from all we learn of him, but
his memory-of events in his life il
wonderful. His story drawn out by
skillful questions from the Distric
Attorney has been five OF six times
taken down as told by him, and no
one sane man in ten would make 81
few contradictions. His account o
the assassination is clear and NOR
consistent than that which can b.
got from the combined stories of ey,
witnesses. DEM.

! The editor of the Philadelphia Eue
ming Bulletin must have experienced
a change of heart, as an evidence Of
which we reproduce the following
from the columns of that Journal
The truth is, the American people
are in the same condition that the
people of France during the
third empire-we are becoming
thoroughly corrupt. The old idea
of fair play and honesty has perish
ed from among us; we are socially
snobs, for we meanly admire mean
things; we are politically venal, for
we don't care how men get into Of
flee or administer Office so that our
own party be successful and our
stocks keep booming. Hayes in of
fee, leprous with fraud, was just as
much an object of reverence as Geo.
Washington or Abraham Lincoln
fairly elected. The political condl-
ton of the country reflects very ac-
curately its moral status. There
isn't a partizan in the country that
wouldn't prefer the success of a
scoundrel in his own party rather
than a sairt in the other. If our
boosted education and intelligence
have led us to this, perhaps it would
be Just as we'll to uneducate little
until people should get back to the
good old-fashioned notions that i'll
gotten money, ill-gotten place, i'll
gotten power are not passports to ad,
miration, reverence, social, religious
and political consideration.

The difference between the vote for
Hancock and the vote for Garfield,
last November, was less than five
thousand out of q total of nine mill
ions. If the election came off to day
no man doubts the Democratic can
didate would overwhelm the Repub-
lican. The Democracy is united,
whilst division and feuds rule the
Republican organization. The Dem
~ocratic party will have itself to blame
if it does not take possession of the
government and hold it until the
next century.

An attempt is to be made in Phil
adelphia to enforce the law against
carrying concealed weapons. Police
men are to search every man whom
they have any reason to suspect, and
arrest those on whom pistols are
found. The Mayor, who is response
BILE for the movement, believ es that
it will do much to prevent murders.
The same should be done in every
city and town in the United States.
