The Druggists' Action.

At n meeting of the Kansas Pharmaceutical AssC-
citation held at Topeka, Wednesday, the following
was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS. We, the Pharmaceutical Association,
representing largely tho druggists Of the State of
Kansas, having met for the purpose Of considering
law and disclsming any intention OF placing our
selves in antagonism O obstruction TO the
execution of the same; and,
WHEREAS, The delegation under the said law, to
the druggists of the State of authority TO dispense
Intoxicating liquors fer the excepted purposes, is
hampered with restrictions and burdensome provis
ions render the trust attempted to be conferred
q most delicate and dangerous one to the druggists
of this State, however carefully and conscientously
they might attempt to execute it, the proper inter
probation of the law being uncertain the bond
required being excessive and the innocent bonds
being probably liable to forfeiture of the amount
executed in addition TO the penalties of fine or fine
and imprisonment imposed against the druggist him
self in of the first technical violation of
the law; and
WHEREAS, We understand that it il the wish Of
the State officials, well this association, that
tsst be made at early date to secure prop
authoritative Interpretation of the law; therefore,
BE it resolved by the Kansas Pharmaceutical Assoc.
ciatiOn. That recommend to all druggists of the
State that no application for permits covering the
sale of Intoxicating liquors be made, except for test
cases, until the law shall have been interpreted
by the supreme court of the State TO make plain
status under it, particularly with reference to
the provisions of TO- and that in the meantime,
sale of liquors be made.
Resolved, That the executive committee of this
association hereby instructed to take such
shall most speedily result in legal test of
the provisions of section TO- and of such other por
tions of the present temperance law he ncces
sary for clear aud final Interpretation of the law

Clubbing.

The Girard Press is one of the few papers in
Kansas with which the Chief has always got
along in unbroken harmony. II has always
been friendly, always been respectful in discus-
sions, and has never met a difference of opinion
with the epithet of "Iiar," "blaeguard," "thief,"
and other popular pet names. We are therefore
sorry to see it resort to quibbling, to get around
Facts on the prohibition question. In at least
three articles in its last ISSUE II quibbles around
stafrnents made by tue cLief, without touching
| on the leading facts.
The first is in reply to the statement concern
fng Rev. Mr.. Beatty, Of Lawrence. 1t says Mr..
| Beatty has denied having used the language at
| trffited to him. Mr.. Beatty's remarks were re-
ported in full, in the Lawrence Journal prohi-
bition paper, and whose editor is n church mem-
| bcf. We have no doubt he used the language,
asreported. There was occasion for the Jour
fdt TO niisrepresent him. When preacher gets
into tight place, and tries TO lie out of il, his
Hes are no more honorable or Trustworthy than
common mans.
Next, is our assertion that the Railroads had

Railroad Despotism.

The despotic character Of railroad corporations
was recently displayed, at Topeka. Railroad mo-
nopolies rule the land; they own Legislatures
and Governors, and the people are powerless
against them. They control the leading news
papers, and the people arc thus deprived Of
means of protesting against their wrongs. The
people of Topeka have just had submitted to
them propositions to vote aid to three additional
railroads, which are to be built TO the city. We
believe that the people of any town or County
commit an error when they vote bonds to any
corporation; but the people of Topeka and Shaw
nee County were largely in favor of voting The
bonds. The newspapers strongly favored the
proposition, and the leading citizens were in IA
vor of il. The only railroads now touching To-
peka, arc the AtchisOn, Topeka and Santa Fe
Road and the Kansas Pacific Road. They have
shops at Topeka, and had a rolling mill, which
was recently burned down, and which they pro-
posed to rebuild. They had no competition, and
had the people at their mercy. st. John and his
Legislature refused to enact laws to protect the
public against these monopOlies, and the people
were helpless A few days before the election,
these two Railroad Companies issued their COM
mands to the citizens of Topeka. They notified
them, that il they built roads to compete with
them, they would abandon certain improvements
they were contemplating, and wOuld not rebuild
the rolling mills. In short, if the people OF To-
peka dared to encourage the building of addi-
tiona roads, to connect that city with other parts
of the State, these two great monopOlies would
do all in their power to ruin the prosperity Of
Topeka! At once, leading citizens began to flop,
and to oppose the voting of bonds as vigorously
as they had just been fsvOring it. c. X. Hoili-
day, the most unreliable man in Kansas, who
has smassed great wealth in railroad specula-
tions, telegraphed from distance that he had
Topped. Tom Anderson, who is owned by the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Road, who was
elected by it to the recent Legislature, for the
purpose of working against legislation in behalf
of the people, also Topped. The Commonwealth,
always ready TO do the bidding Of Railroad
Company, and is known as the monopoly organ
of the State, Topped, and spared no space in
keeping the threats Of the two Railroad Compa-
mics before the eyes of the people. Its plea was,
that these two roads had made Topeka what she
is; now would the people Of Topeka kill the goose
that laid the golden egg, by encouraging COM
peting roads, that would interfere with these
two roads practicing thsir extortions upon the
peoplef These were not exactly its words, but
il is their meaning boiled down. The Capital

Military Prodi1ies,

There are q few men stuck around through
this country, who, at the breaking out of the
rebellion, were young squirts, and followed the
army, as correspondents of newspapers. After a
battle, they would go on the ground, talk with
struggling soldiers, and proceed to write up de-
scriptions of the battle. They were generally
pretty good descriptions, for the chance they
had; but now these same fellows insist that
their letters the true history, and that the
recollections and the official dispatches of the
officers in command are base lies. 1t frequently
happened that these scribblers were expelled
from the lines, rs a military necessity, because
the commanders did not want all their plans
written up and published for the information of
the enemy. Woe unto the General who fred out
one of these correspondents! A pen dipped in
mud is mightier than the sharp pointed sword,
and those Generals now discover that they are
imbeciles and towards, according to the genuine
history written by those drummed out CORES
pondents. The biggest and most persistent nui-
sance in this delectable batch, calls himself
Seen" Boynton, and he writes for the Cincin-
natl Gazette. His particular spite is against
Gen. Sherman, and he has been demolishing
that unfortunate officer ever since the war
Sherman did once give enough attention to his
stuff to call him dirty liar, when "Genr Boyn-
ton at once demanded that Sherman be court
martialed, and then instituted suit for slander;
but he was laughed out or kicked out of both
the military and the civil court. But he is still
after Sherman. The General cannot open his
mouth on the subject of the military operations
in which he was engaged, without "Gen." Boyn-
ton comes bulging in, and proving, by his own

II The Topeka Commonwealth seems to be
getting in an exceedingly timid way. 1t exhort-
ed the people of Topeka to vote against bonds
in aid Of new railroads. lest it make the two
roads already there mad, and exasperate them
into injuring the city, for spite. Now it advises
the Republican press to refrain from denouneing
the domineering and overbearing conduct of
Senator Conkling, because he is a talented and
influential man, and if crossed, he might hurt
the party. Cannot the Commonwealth conceive
of emergencies in which temporary defeat would
be preferable to cringing to a despot who had
chanced to get the upper hand of people or a
partyi

The Winter wheat.

ST. LOUIS, April ia prominent commission
house of this city has just received great number
of reports from all sections of Missouri, Illinois and
wheat, almost all of which are extremely discour-
aging. Serious damage is reported in nearly every
section of the States named, and total ruin in
places The prediction is freely made that the West
win not raise half crop of winter wheat and that
the quality Of that harvest will be poor.

Conkling assail and wage war upon him. The ad-
ministration. as now constituted, will do no sueh
thing. 1t will have peace, and an honorable peace
if it has to fight for it, manfully. openly, aggres-
sively, and TO the end. The Republican party of
