There has been much discussion in
the papers as to the success or failure
Of prohibition in Kansas and the
effect it has had upon the prosperity
of the State. Influential journals say
that the State was never more pros
porous and the population never in
creased more rapidly. As to the po-
litieal aspects of the question the
Fort Scott Monitor sums up the stu
alton thus: AT least three fourths
Of the Republican voters Of the State
are prohibitionists, while the Demo-
cratic party is hopelessly divided upon
the subject, with the organization OF
the party probably in the hands Of
the anti -prohibitionists. The dis
c%ussion OF the Gubernatorial ques-
ton, which has a near relation TO the
Same subject, has developed the fact
that there is no public man in Kan
sas with either the courage or temerity
TO take the field as an avowed oppo'
nent Of prohibition"

In the London Quarterly for April
there is an article on Ireland supposed
to be written by the Marquis of Sails
bury, who, after abusing the Liberal
policy, says: IF Mr Gladstone can do
nothing more for Ireland somebody
else must try. She cannot be left
where she is, half maddened by quack
remedies, a source Of danger to the
rest Of the empire and a misery to her
self" This is the Tory view, and the
remedy suggested is a peasant propri.
etary. A more stupid suggestion could
not have been made. 1t shows that if
the Tories were in power to day they
would be at sea on the Irish question.
There is something needed in Ireland
besides a peasant proprietorship. That
will give a little relief to a portion Of
the Irish people. No half way meas
ure, however, will relieve Great
Britain Of the prick of the Irish thorn.
ireland will be a thorn until her peo-
pie are governed in the way they
prefer to be governed. In Canada and
Australia and New Zealand English
men and Scotchmen and Irishmen
are governed as they want to be gov
erned. They have local independence
The party in England which will dc
for ireland exactly what has been
done for Canada and other British
colonies will settle the Irish ques.
ton" satisfactorily. The present
policy of hell and bayonets," with Z
lew sugar plums thrown in, is folly
That is the Liberal policy. The Tory
policy is not a whit better.

The Evening critic., 1882-02-13
We Want TO Know Also.

TO he Editor Of The Erei,ng Critic:
good many employees of the Government
Frinting-office would like to know two things
/. Why John LarcomDe, paymastcr of the
G.. p. o., does not pay the employees their money
al least three days after II becomes due.
2. Why he should discriminate between De-
frees relatives and other employees by paying
them ID. ~ a week before the others.
In regard to the first, this paymaster, IL seems,
pays at the time most convenient to him with
out any regard TO the necessities OF the en-
ployes, who are thus compelled TO await his
leisure, and who are seriously inconyenienced
by bills which they consequently cannot meet.
II is now the 10Th OF the month, and no pay T;
and II these employees cannot borrow they
must deprive themselves OF n great deal, be
threatened with having their gas cut off, run
bills, and lie troubled with like annoyances.
Mr.. Larcombe has been known TO pay of on
the 2d OF the month, and why he helates the
pay-days now is a mystery 10 all but himself,
and for which no reason is apparent He, no
doubt, Is not worried by these petty troubles,
MS he draws his own pay as early as he pleases,
as is usually the case with such as he.
As TO the second, II is known that one OF
Dofrees' relatives applied for his pay and got
it ON the basis OF his relationship with the
Government Printer. II is also a fact that the
son OF Iarcombc's clerk was paid or, as he
wanted 20 spend a day out OF town. As the
humblest laboror IN the establishment Is On
titled 10 his pay as early as either OF the above
mentioned, II Is evident tLat these are unjust
Determinations, and worthy OF no fair-dealine
man. II Mr.. Larcombe cannot pay OF In the
frst part Of the month, II would be good idea
10 get somebody that can.
A SUFFERER.
