1t is to be earnestly hoped that the
prophecy ventured by leading politicians
at Albany, to the effect that the present
week will witness break in the sena-
lorial dead lock may be verified. The
cOurssnof the legislature since the resig-
nation Of Mcssrs. conk ling and PIatt has
been anything but conducive to the in
teresis of the Republican party in New
YOrISgand'thc.eRly way it can repair the
injury Il has done is To elect two clean,
straight forward Republicans to fill the
present vacancies in the Senate and
then adjourn. The election OF Mr..
Wheeler, would. We believe, be very
generally acceptable to the party
at large, and as his conception of
craftsmanship seems TO embrace 3
wider scope dan the redress of fAheied
personal grievances, the interests of his
own state and the country could not suf:
fer by plAcilg him in the scat vscaled
by Mr.. Conkling, who is the declared
enemy of the administration, and If re-
tnrned would assIdu0nsly apply himself
tO'aitAgOaiHiag its policy - s.
So far as the long term is regarded, we
still entertain the belief that New York
has many statesmen whom she should
be more proud To honor than Mr.. Depew,
who has steadfAstly led the ballot on the
Plat vacancy. His alleged sffiliation
with the mOnopOlists renders
him Objectionable, and his record
is too questionable TO make
him a desirable candidate. We
hope ID see him put aside and If the
Halfbreeds have earnestly at heart the
welfare of the administration, they will
lose no time In substituting for DepeW
a man who stands blamelcss before the
people and whose services to the party
fit him for the high position which none
but the most distinguished sons of
the state should aspire to. ,s--.s...
Tho country awaIts with interest the
developments of the present week. at
Albany, and II is to be earnestly hoped
for the interests Of the Republican party
that the legislature will cease its bick-
erings aud, mako rspaFaaiop. rs far as
possible, for lie eulpatie stupidity, by
the selection of two first-class men tn
represent the great Empire state in the
United States senate.

MORE ABOUT THAT STOCK

We publish ia another column a com.
munication from leading farmer who
endorses our position in regard tn the
sale of the Missouri Pacific stock and
the rcfunding OF our railroad bonds.
We will say that the commissioners
have the right to refund at any time.
They naturally feel some delicacy about
urging the matter of. the sale OF the
stock, and would like the people first TO
make a move in that direction by sign
ing petitions for an election on the ques-
ton. If some man in each neighbor-
hood would circulate a petition asking
the commissioners Ia submit the propo-
sition TO sell 10 n VOTE of the people il
would undoubtedly be done at once,
Who will move in the matter: We be
licvc with the commissioners that II
would be better for the people to move
in this matter.

1t may intetes. The whisky advocates

It may interest the whisky advocates
of Kansas, who favor the license system
as the best means Of controlling the liq-
1oE traffic, To know that The Tum-sellers
or Nebraska are making determined
war against the high-license law in that
state. and propose Ia test it's eonstitu-
tionality In the courts. There never has
been any legislation on this subject that
hhs-Aotbe openly delied or secretly
evaded by the whisky interest, and any
measure looking to the correction of the
evils which grow out OF the sale of in
toxicating liquors will always meet with
the organized opposite of persons en-
gagel In that business. ~ -r !
The .attenuated clap-trap in relation 10
sumptuary Legislation, which has been
so freely employed rs an argument
against pEohlbition in Kansas. has been
worn threahbarc in other states in seek
ing the defeat of more conservative meas
ures, and the men who recognize in the
temperaneo amendment deadly blow
at the material interests of the state,
would be equally ready in the formation
of weapons against any measure which
would restrict, in the least degree, a free
traffic In spirituOus drinks.
Anything short of prohibition Is
merely temporizing with what is &C.
kaowledSed 70 be a great and crying
evil, and SO long as the liquor traffic is
tolerated in any community under the
sanction of the statute, SO long will il
succeed in evadins all those measures
which contemplate the restriction Of 8
traffic which is essentially at variance
with law and order. We are radi
cally opposed to making any cOnces
sions TO an interest which has manifested
at all times and places an utter disregard
of law, and We believe that the only sue
cessful means for its restriction lies II
its entire prohibition. FEsE
