Reports reach US through our ex-
changes that the temperance law is being
openly defied Indifferent towns through
out the state. il being asserted that the
saloons nj Atchison and LtaycnwnTth
continue to run full blast, with none 10
modest or to make afraid. We are 10th
TO believe that such is the fact II is not
a matter of surprise that wbiskey should
hold high carnival at Dodge City in the
face and eyes of the organic and statu-
tory law, but that this condition of at
fairs should be allowed To prevail in
two OF the oldest and most prominent
towns in the commonwealth, seems too
gross violation of order 10 warrant the
public in crediting such state
ment. Ii il should prove authentic,
We have only TO say that nothing
could reflect more seriously upon the
tone of public sentiment in those places
than such showing. The prohibitory
amendment, however il may he regarded
by its enemies, reflects the will of the
majority of the voters in Kansas, and en-
bodies the sentiment of the best element
of society throughout the state. The law
supplementary thereto was framed and
passed by Legislature elected upon the
temperance issue, and both are deserving
of that moral support which renders eff
fective other regulations in behalf OI
the peace and good order Of society
The state OF Kansas has determined up
on prohibition as the best method .foI
the suppression Of those evils
which grow out of the traffic
In intoxicating drinks. 1t has
ventured upon a test of its feasibility
in the hope that the results Of the expert
ment will contribute largely TO the gen
eral interests of the commonwealth, anC
promote not only its moral but maieria
development. The friends of the meas
ure ask nothing more than fair tria
of its provisions. This it is entitled to
and every community which values il
reputation for obedience to the powers
that be will be prompt to discourage al
infringcments upon legal authority, ant
vindicaie the majesty of the law instead
of retarding its operation by culpabl'
laxity of public sentiment.

settlers OIL the frontier are led to thank
God for His Omens of future good, and

The probibitOry amendment, so far
from checking immigration, has center
ed the gaze of the moral element OF so
ciety throughout the country upon Kan

ritory hundreds OF enlightened men and
women who are fully alive TO the bale

cry moral and material interest, and who
are joyfully embracing the opportunity
of fleeing from its dangers.
Every indication points TO an era of
unexampled prosperity in our grand
young commonwealth, which has come
mp though tribulatiOn TO such splendid
achievements and which continues TO
lead the van in all those great vital ques
tons whose honest solution renders clear

with joy the glad omens which illumine

THE EMPoRIA DAILY NEWS has been
enlarged to a seven-column sheet, which
is indicative of prosperity. By the way,
some eastern paper, speaking of the
newspaper owners in congress, puts
down Senator Plumb as owner of THE
EMPoRIA NEWS. How is that Troy
Chief.
A statement similar to the one con-
tanned in the latter part of the above
item from the Troy Chief has appeared
in several papers. There being
no ground whatever on which
to base it, we have not,
heretofore, thought it necessary to
allude to it. The statement first origi-
mated in the fertile brain of some Wash.
ington correspondent. Those fellows
pick up some rumor in Washington, and
out of it manufacture a hundred silly
and utterly groundless senatorial stories
and telegraph them over the country as
news. Senator Plumb has not owned a
cents worth of interest in THE NEWS
in any shape, manner or form, since
May, 1860, twenty-One years ago. He
has not even been inside THE News of
fee in dozen years. That's how it is

al Timely PrecantIon .

WASHINGTON, May Son the It'll inst
awards for carrying mails in various
parts of the country, under the miscel-
laneous advertisement of March 10th,
were finally decided upon at the post Of
fee department. The letting of these
contracts is not what is known as the
regular letting, but consists of service on
such routes, as from various causes can
not be advertised and let at the usual
time and manner of opening proposals
for these contracts. A material depart
ure was made from the usual custom in
such cases. The law requires that all
proposals for carrying mails shall before
being turned to the contract officer, be
opened and marked. Heretofore, with
one exception occurring several years ago,
the custom has been merely to open bids
and stamp them, q work which some Of
ficials at the department say is practi-
cally of no value, and evidently not
WHAT THE LAW CONCENTRATES.
Since no records of bids were made,
others could be added, after the opening
of the bids the blank could be flied in
so as to secure contracts, or be with
drawn so as to give some favored bidder
the contract, or could be changed for
some purpose. Some years ago quite q
scandal was created in the department
by some of these very deings, and several
employees of the contract office were dis
missed IN consequence, but still, with
the exception before alluded to, no
change in the manner of opening bids
was made. When the present contract
was made General James authorized
the change to be made, which was as
follows: After the bids were opened
they were stamped with the date of
opening and with the engraved device,
of which there is but one in existence.
They were then numbered consecutively,
arranged by routes and a list made of
them, giving the number of the bid, the
name of the bidder, number of route on
which the service is to be made, the
amount of the bid and any
DEFECT, INFORHALTTY, OR IRREGULAR
ITY
that was discovered after these bids were
turned over to the contract Office and q
list furnished the General
with the engraved device mentioned.
Before these bids were turned over to
the contract office they were always
either under the eyes of acommittee ap-
pointed to examine and mark them, or
in the vault, the keys of which were in
the exclusive possession of one of the
committee. It will be seen that under
this plan there is no opportunity what
ever for tampering with the bids by any
one disposed to do SO in the department,
without a certainty of discovery, and
that no bids can be distracted or new
ones admitted. It is SO good plan that
the Postmaster General will probably
cause it TO be adopted for all future open
ings for bids for the star route and other
contract.

Rural New Yorker: Cheese from
lard in New York and butter from
lard in Chicago elevate the hog to a
rivalry with the cow in her own pc
culiar line. A large factory in this
city is, we are told, engaged in the
manufacture ofcheese from lard. The
latter is reported to be peculiarly
adapted to the production of brie and
similar cheeses. Orders for the new
fraud are said to be miles ahead of
the supply, and the stuff is reported
to be undistinguishable from genuine
cheese.
