fact that all the apostles priests and missionaries Of
that faith are also Republicans, goes a long way to
influence antfP Prohibition Republicans to vote against

While the Republican and Prohibition organira-

ought to be, and before great while. True they
have little love siats in one or two localities but
that makes little difference with the general result
Seriously. Prohibition is enemy to temperance,
to human rights. to free government, and to moral
reform. Its motives, like Torauamcda's may be
philanthropie but its spirit and methods like those
of the Inqusition destructive Of human liberty.

about temperance. Prohibition, . remedy for

remedy is ten times than the disease.
Ny own little theory upon this vexed question is,
that moral suasion and education will slowly and

Peopls of the East. Beware,

Kansas has suffered immeasurably abroad, in
being compelled, by necessity, in years past, TO
ask for aid; but when her poverty is held mp,
and the people of the East are bummed and bad
gered for money to pay the corruption expenses
of political demagogues, the disgrace becomes an
outrage, aud the real friends of Kansas dis
gusted. Gov. st. John and his squad of lacqueys,
calling themselves the Executive Committee OF
the State Temperance Union, are circulating
pitiful appeal throughout Illinois, and, in fact
all over the East, begging for $4,000 TO carry on
the temperance work, and prevent the prohibit
ory law from being nullifed. They assert that
the National Brewers Convention arranged to
send one million dollars TO Kansas, TO break down
the law, and fifty Thousand dollars are needed 10
enforce the law through the Courts, and carry on
the canvass for temperance.
Let the people of the East take warning, that
this is gigantic confidence game being attempt
ed upon them. For every dollar expended in
opposition to prohibition, there have been sent
to the State and expended one thousand dollars
by the temperance people, and the men and wo-
men who tramped the State in the temperance
interest, made big wages for every day that they
put in. There is not a dollar needed TO enforce

Called upon, as am, to defend the anti Prohibi-
tion cause, some may think that the logic is all on
the other side Of this question and that it certainly
must be n great strain ones Imagination, to even
make attempt at logical deduction. Neverthe-
less. we shall see.
In the beginning. will say that temperance is not
TO he deprecated. neither is the federation of dram
shops to be upheld. But just how to promote the
former and destroy the latter is the the disputable
ground. Kansas is a new country-in fact, Re-
public is a nev-found land, asylum for the op
pressed of every land. The influx of foreign people
is the greatest blessing this country, only on
account of the numerical strength they add to our
nation. but account also of the energy and pluck
they infuse into the agricultural mechanical, and
commercial branches of business Where that for
cigner is denied of the component parts of
his diet, the production and manufacture of it, he
steers clear off. This is what is the matter with
State. Other States getting the benefit from
our misguided zeal to promote the cause of temper
ance by compulsory law.
There is law which trsnscends all such arbitrary
measures. Ii is the law of social equality We in
this Republican form of government, have right
to say what fcllow-man shall wear as raiment,
what kind of house he shall live in, what kind of
team he shall drive what kind of religion he shall
hold TO. whether he shall have one or not wheth-
er he shall he married man, or live single. Then,

sense. do you get the lawful power to say what he
shall drink not drinkl Echo answers, nowhere.
And take up the refrain And declare to YOU, gen.
tlemen of the jury, that all this prohibition muddle
called law is innovation, n usurpation. Yea,
more; il is foolish assumption of authority, unwar
ranted both by common law and common sense. A
person has the blessed right in this free country to
pursue whatever course Of happiness he has mind
to, long he does not interfere with the rights
of others. When person gets drunk and disturbs
the peace and happiness of Others there is need
Of any new law to protect the injured parties When

But few people have a natural desire for it the

young lady in the land set her seal against any
young who either tobacco or gets intoxica-
ted. Then we have reform.

n It would be curious to follow up names
to their origin, and find how they have been re-
fined and toned down, as the families become
ashamed of the old original patronymic. Mapy
years ago, we knew n numerous family by the
name of Hell. As the old ones died of, and young
ones grew up, the latter became disgusted with
their internal origin. They were of German de-
scent, and claimed that the name He'll was sim
ply German for Clear; and as the family had be-
come Amerieanized, their name shonld also be-
He'll was finally abolished and the family now
are known only as Clear. We have noticed the
gradual change of another name. Years ago
there was family having the rather uncouth
name of Devilbess- Afterwards, it became Div
elbiss. One of them moved to Kansas, and was
Drivelbiss; he changed his location, and became
Drivelbliss; and now we have come across the
marriage of one of them as Driebelbliss. So
they have at last succeeded in getting rid of the
Devil, and arriving at bliss

y The fag-ends of the shysters who have
run the Greenback party into the ground, held a
solemn conclave at Topeka, last week, to devise
ways and means to set a gang of speakers afioat
on the State again. These surviving frauds
hope there are enough fools left in the State to
contribute msney to support them through the
winter, by paying them n certain sum per day
to travel over the State and blow their wind.
They may rs well reconcile their minds to the
fact that the Greenback tomfoolery is dead be-
yond resurrection. Its skin is even worthless.
The squirming maggots that infested its body,
are barely able to show signs of life. They were
the ones that composed the Topeka conclave.
This winter will probably close out the last
Greenback paper in the State. The chronic frauds
should be hunting up another humbug with
which to bore the public.
