Last Tuesday the Supreme Court
filed it's opinion upon the propositions
heretofore submitted to it in reference
to the prohibition amendment to the
constitution. The Court unanimously
hold that this amendment was legally
adopted and ia now part Of the con-
stitution of the State of Kansas. 1t
also holds that in accordance with de-
cisions made by the Supreme Court OF
the United States the State has a right
to prohibit the manufacture and sale
Of intoxicating liquors as beverage.
A majority of the Court hold that the
adoption of the amendment did not
repeal the dram shop act in toto, only
repeating that part Of the act which
authorizes the issuing of licenses for
the sale of intoxicating liquors as q
beverage, leaving all the penalties of
the dram shop act still In force where
liquors are sold as q beverage.

The new temperance law 10 being
severely, and in many cases unjustly,
criticised not only by those who are
opposed to prohibitory laws, but by
many good temperance people. Such
conflicting views were entertained
among the temperance people them.
selves as to the kind of law that was
needed, that it was out of the question
to get up a perfect law. But the duty
of all temperance people and good citi-
zens generally is plain, that is to OBJ
tain all the good we possibly can from
this law. Time will show its worst
defects, and if prohibition can be
made to prohibit" our next Legisla-
ture will know what measurers are
needed to make the law more perfect.
Temperance people should remember
that failure to enforce the law will
be taken as evidence by the people OF
this and other States that sumptuary
laws are failure, and that the license
system Is the better way to control the
great evil Of intemperance.

At the breeders institute, held at
Manhattan last week, an appeal was
made for agricultural fairs without
horse racing. The address of Gen. J.
c. Stone, of Leavenworth, on this sub
ject is to he published and distributed
among the farmers of the State. This
is matter that is worthy the attention
Of our people. The gambling institu-
tons that are admitted into our agri-
cultural fairs, and the betting on horse
races is disgrace not only to the man
agement of the fairs, but to the people
who submit to it and encourage it by
patronizing the fairs. The people are
waking up on this matter, and fair
associations had as well to make note
of the fact and govern themselves &C
cOrdingly.

At Topeka last week we found Sen.
ator Funston one of the busiest men
at the capital. In addition to his du-
ties In the Senate and on the commit
tees, he was perfecting his railroad
bill for preventing discrimination in
freights. Last Friday the bill was
passed to q second reading and order
ed printed. The provisions of the bill
are equitable and just, and Mr.. Fun
ston will do his utmost to have it pass
the Senate, and ex-Gov. Green, OF
Manhattan, will introduce it into the
House. At the meeting of the Senate
railroad committee, consisting of ten,
Mr.. Funston was the only member
who would advocate his bill, and eight
of the number opposed all legislation
in reference to railroads. Men of abil-
ity and great talent are at Topeka in
the employ of railroads working
against all railroad laws, and in the
absence of any one working against
them they have things pretty much
their own way. At some future time
we will publish Senator Funston's
bill whether it becomes law or not.

It is about time to ring down the cur
tain on cat stories, but before the bell
sounds there is just time for a good one.
A man now living in Kingston emf
grated to the West many years age
and bought a house which had stood
unoccupied for a considerable time.
The first hight he heard sounds which
convinced him that there were rats in
the cellar, and on investigation he found
that hundreds of the creatures were
disporting themselves there. Having
eaten a quarter of beef down to the
bone, they were playing tag among
shelves and boxes. He offered to in
troduce the family cat but she declined
to be presented. The next day she
was missing and the family supposed
they had lost her; but on the fourth
day familiar ''meow" was heard, and
there was tabby at the head of q col
umn of three dozen cats in light march
ing order, their backs up and their
tails rampant. The front door was
opened and the DETACHMENT moved
down the cellar stairs in good order.
The next morning a flour barrel full of
dead rats was buried behind the house
and the cats returned to their home.

In writing to the Atchison Cham
pion about the discussion of the tenn
perance bill in the House of Represen-
tatives, Prentis speaks as follows in
reference to those who searched the
scriptures" and were endeavoring to
make it sustain their side of the ques-
ton: Swine is wine, and has been in
all ages. The wine Noah made a
beast of himself on; and the wine at
the Cana wedding; and the wine Ana
creon sung and the wine Timothy
was advised to take "a little Of in
case of sickness and all wine down to
our time was the fermented juice Of the
grape, and not some sort of boiled
slop. OF all arguments, for or against,
on the temperance question, the scrip
tural one is the thinnest. 1t is nearly
as bad as the old Bible argument
about slavery, and all that truck about
Onesium and the fugitive slave law.
The Bible everywhere denoQnces
drunkenness, and that is enough. It
is safe enough to say that Moses, were
he to draw upa temperance bill, he
would not let public drukard and
nuisance off with Ave dollars and
costs.n

Hastings Hughes. Mr.. Hughes pub
fishes card in the New York papers
to say that therei is no truth in the story
of failure, that the settlers are busy
preparing for spring work, and that
the church and school house are nearly

of mind ever since Mr.. Hughes located
his colony in the United States instead

The father of james Redpath was a
Presbyterian minister, and intended
his son to follow that calling, but had
not the necessary amount Of funds to
educate him. James lived in Ireland
till he was about Is years of age, when
he came to America, and later went
into the printing business in Michigan.
For several years he was the manager
of the Redpath Lyceum, Boston, and
that controlled nearly all the lecturers
Of the country at one time. Mr.. Red
path is man who has q wonderful
capacity for work and who enters heart
and soul into every thing he touches.
He nearly destroyed his health in the
lecture business, and by the advice of
his physician stopped it. He was next
heard of q year ago in Ireland, working
for the New York Tribune.

The Twentietl,

WILL Be GARFIELD, AND HIS INAUGURATIOH MARKS
THE CLOSE OF THE TWENTIETH YEAR OF THE
RULH OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
As only q little more than week in
tervenes before the Inauguration Of Gar
field as the twentieth President of the
United States, and marking the end OF
the twentieth consecutive year of the
control of the government by the Be
publican party, the adherents to that
faith, Is well as every man Of other be
Gefs, becomes more and more interested
in the details of the grand programme
arranged for the mOmentous day. There
Is much studying of time tables and
comparing of advantages Of the differ
ept railroads by which the people from
the West can reach Washington. There
is, however, but one railroad having
direct tracks from the West to WASH
ington- and this, as is well known, is
the Baltimore and Ohio. All other
lines reach Washington by circuitOus
routes, which necessitates more time on
the road. as the distance is longer. The
Baltimore and Ohio's "Daisy Train"
which leaves st. Louis in the morning,
reaches Washington at noon the next
day, q whole half day in advance of
the fastest trains ON other lines. This
Is pretty strong statement, but any
one who will take the trouble to COM
pare the time table of the Baltimore
and Ohio with those of competing lines,
will readily discover it to be the abso-
lutte truth. Those who go from west of
the Missouri River via. St. Louis, make
direct connection in the Union Depot
with the 'Daisy Train" Those who
prefer going via. Chicago make direct
connection there with the evening train
Of the Baltimore and Ohio, which ar
rives in Washington a night in advance
of the trains Oh other lines Certainly
no road is more thoroughly equipped
for the transportation of large numbers
of people than the Baltimore and Ohio,
and with its superb new sleepers, con-
structed expressly for the company, its
elegant new dining cars, and its splen-
did day coaches, there is nothing lack
ing that the most eXacting passenger
could demand. The Baltimore and
Ohio puts on sale its low round trip
tickets on Tuesday, March LIST, and
they will be good going any train up to
and including the night Of the Sd !; re-
turning, these tickets will be good on
any train up to the evening of the Sth.

Mr.. Jetmore, the attorney Of the
Kansas Legal Temperance Associa-
ton, in speaking of the late temper
ance law passed by the Legislature

There is nothing in it to prohibit the

wine.. The provisions of the bill are
that wine and cider shall not be sold
after fermentation, and when they

The Topeka Commonwealth haf
been publishing the speeches Of
members of the State Legislature this
winter, end this has undoubtedly been
the means of calling out q number Of
speeches-many of them good ones toe
that were unnecessary and only con.
sumed the time Of the Legislature. II
this is to become the custom among
the papers at the Capital, and it
doubtless will, almost every member
of the Legislature will feel called upon
to prepare and deliver at least one
speech during the session, thus leav-
ing but little time TO- attend to essen
tial business. And in view of this
fact it would be well for the Legislature
to exclude all long speeches and give
the members, upon application, per-
mission to have their speeches printed
in the city papers. It would save
much valuable time, and every mem
bee could have his buncombe speech
60 to his constituents Just az though
it had been delivered in the Legisla-
ture. 4 session of fifty days is too
short for al the members to give pub
LEFTY to their peculiar views in long
speeches and as the legislature costs
our state about $500 day it would
be an expensive luxury to have the
time extended, so We think our sugges-
ton i worthy attention of our law
makers.
