love Of politics is SO great and 30 wide-
spread that no season Is too warm or
too cold, no condition too hazardous or
forbidding, to prevent the Indulgence
of this sectional vice.. Perhaps the best
illustration of the ovsrweening and
IRE epressible devotion to. politics may
be found in the circumstance that North

There was no need of an election to

Prohibition In Kansas.

l.s TOPEKA, kansas, Aug. IL, 1881.
To the Editor of the ExrxzfMn.
The war between law and whiskey
continues to rage, and viii do so till
the right triumphs. The contest has
been bitter from-the outset, because the
friends Of temperance have felt that
they were or the srde- of right and hu-
manity, and because the upholders
of the deadly traffic were fighting for
their passions or their pecuniary ad-
vantage. 1t requires vast amount of
principle, bordering on ''fanaticism, !"
so called, to overcome a class of men
who are fighting for their business. As
some men of tine past who were called
fanatics and fools have come down in
history as heroes, so also will the cour-
ageous men and women who have
worked up public sentiment in our
State during the past few years be
honored in the future. lEt
Prob ibition has been opposed at every
step by every means at the command of
its enemies. As they were supplied
with money by brewers aud distillers
all through the West, they have en-
ployed the best legal talent in the State
to represent their side in the courts.
At one time one would have been led to
believe that all the whiskey men were
church members, judging from their
fear that communion wine could not be
uesd; at another, that they were all
farmers, fearing that they should die
from snake-bite for lack of little whis.
key. They might be found mourning
over the loss of cologne, bay rum, es-
sences, paregoric, spirit levels, and
other articles containing alcohol; and
the lack of immigration and depopula-
ton of Kansas. The decision of the
Supreme Court in regard to the scope of
the liquor law reads: " It cannot be
doubted that section ten is broad and
sweeping enough to bring within the
statute every liquid which, byreason of
the presence of alcohol, will produce
intoxication. :. But the Legisla-
ture never intended such q sweeping
prohibition. The use of Intoxicating
liquors as a beverage was the evil, and
the statute must be read in the light
thereof"
Nearly all the public objectors to the
law oppose it from a. Temperance
standpoint"l A great many say that
they want to see the law enforced, but
that SIT can't be done, public sentiment
won't support it, Now, who ever
heard of Republican predicting that q
Democratic president would be elected
or of Democrat who was betting on q
Republican candidateP If such men
are found they are looked upon as dis
loyal TO their party and principles, and
are not trusted with the party honors.
The same rule should prevail in prohi-
bition movements throughout the coun-
try; If a man pretends to believe that
dram shops are wrong and a curse, he
ought to say so, and exert himself and
lend his influence to the suppression OF
the evil, instead of whining, at the heels
of the champions of reform, that ''It
can't be done." SERGEANT MIFLN.

but cannot see the pure waters thatrush
down the mountain side, and one mis-
step would, send the tourist, into the
yawniug chasm below, shapeless mass

Sweeping on over the mountain, the
rain soon ceased, the wind changed and
we were treated to genuine snow storm
on the 30th of July. Here on this lofty
peak in the region of eternal silence,
our eyes ranging over mountains, can
ons and the green gray of the endless
plains, we thought OF home, kindred
friends, and in our inmost hearts gave
thanks to God for the finest land on
which the sun ever shone. Weary and foot
sore we leave this mount of observation
and start for home. By slow and steady
steps we are helped by our guide down
steep declivities or along icy gulches,
or creep on hands and knees under shelv-
ing rocks, till we reach timber line and
our horses just as night is shutting in,
and there comes over us the chilling
thought of being lost on the mountains,
but our noble guide orders us to lay
down the reins and trust to our faithful
ponies, so taking it by faith we sit
serenely riding and waiting, and at
IL O'Clock reach Stetson's to dream Of
perils and triumphs that will never be
forgotten by any Of our party.

Politics in Hot Weather.

Think of holding State Conventions
and Democratic Conventions at that
in Mississippi and Virginia, and an
election in North Carolina, at this sea-
son of the year, when the thermome-
ters are cavorting around among the
ninetiesi If any new evidence were
needed that the South is hopelessly Civ
en- over to politics these circumstances
would supply the proof. If the people
of Richmond. Va, and jackson. Miss,
were to devote themselves exclusively
to fans, mint-juleps and other delusive
devices for Keeping cool, they would
not be able to hold down their tempera-
ture to the normal condition. And yet
politics is regarded as tropical luxury,
and the people of the South seem to
revel in it.
The characteristic rhetoric of South
ern politics flowed like lava in the
Richmond Convention, Judging by the
specimens which have been transmitted
by telegraph. One old gentleman, in
the simple process of nominating can
didate, boiled over in these terms: :" 1t
is meretricious progeny of renegade
Democracy-thisp prostitute readjuster-
ismr' If any Northern politician at
this time of year should work himself
up to the fever-heat required to throw
off sparks like that the newspapers of
the next day would be compelled to
report death from prostration. But
nobody at Richmond seems to have
been especially affected by the super
heated conditions which such utterances
indicate. 1t may be that Virginia
Bourbons intended to chill the atmos-
phere by some of the cool things to
which they gave expression. For in
stance, nothing could be more refresh
ing than to hear the old. dyed-in-the-
wool Bourbons talking about equality
of right and equal justice to all men,
and about /" elections by the people
free from force or fraud" When the
Confederate Democracy of Virginia can
throw off light, cheerful nonsense OF
this kind Ia the dog-days the effect GER
tainly ought to be cooling.
The Mississippi Democrats have q
capacity for politics which exceeds that
of any others. The Virginians did not
profong their conference beyond one
day. 1t was hot while it lasted, but
there was a manifest disposition to get
through. The Bourbons who assembled
at jackson, however, were intent upon
drawing out their summer amusement
to the longest stretch. Hence the dead
lock. Stones friends were steadfast
and Barksdale's friends aggressive,
Featherstone's adherents hopeful, and
Calhoun's determined. But all fac
tions were apparently agreed upon pro-

Imposing ObsequIes of the VIcIIU 8
OF the Theatre Fire.

VIENNA, December 12.-The common
grave for the uurecognized victims of the
theatre fire, in the Central Cemetery, is one
hundred and fifty feet long and fourteen
feet wide.
An immense concourse of people were
present this morning in st. Stephens Cathe-
dral, where a solemn requiem mass was
celebrated for the repose of the souls of the
victims OF the fire. The cathedral was en-
tirely draped in black, and catafalque was
erected, which was surrounded with can
dies and exotic plants. The clergy entered
the cathedral iu procession followed by the
Crown Prince, the Archdukes, members Of
the Imperial household, the court diguita-
ries, ministers, members of the Reichsrath,
representatives of the army, the civil ser
vice. municipality, etc. Bishop Angeroe
officiated. The court opera choir assisted,
and their voices were occasionally almost
drowned by agonized sobs of the mourners.
The large squsre in front OF the cathedral
and the adjoining streets were filed by
many thousands of people.
The upper house of the Reichsrath has
voted so 600 forms in aid Of the sufferers by
the theatre fire.
LONDON, December 12-The Vienna cor
respondent of the DAILY Ae0S says: "The
police imagined that the entire audience
had quilted the theatre. They prevented
outsiders from entering and locked the
doors without ascertaining if there was any
one inside"
The Vienna correspondent Of the Stand
ard says: "New rules to insure the safety
of the Imperial Theatre are published"
The Madrid correspondent of the 1ele
graph says: "The catastrophe at Vienna has
caused great excitement here. Immediate
precautionary measures will be taken to
secure public safety at theatres"
