SENATOR INGALLS, OFFERING.

Last evening will be memorable one In
the history OF our opera house, and will moi
soon be forgotten by those who were fortu'
nate enough TO hear Senator ingalls, chaste,
polished and eloquent address on the life and
character of the dead President as viewed by
one who had known him when both were
school boys in Massachusetts, and had been
friendly and intimate from that time to the
eventfui I'd day Of July, when the Nation was
startled by the tidiugs that crazy knavc had
selected for the asssassin's mark one who, in
the simplicity and innocence OF his own kind
heart, did not dream that there lived the man
who would harm or modest him. Garfeld's
memory is yet green with US, and loving him
as we did it gives every Americas consol-
ing joy to see fresh flowers planted on his
grave; and we believe that Of all the Offer
ings that have been made by poets, orators
aud writers, no other is as beautiful, ~ fra
grant, and as charming as the one our senior
Senator 10 earnestly aud 30 appropriately
made last night-LearssWortk Timss

known as the Triple Pacific line, left st.

have been in consultation here with France
Chandler, general passenger agent Of the
Southwestern system, relative to rates by
the Triple Line, but the result has net yet
! transpired. 1t is not likely. however, that
there will be any material change from that
charged on the Northern Pacific.
The Albuquerque journal says: The con-
tract was let last "Wednesday for the grading.
masonry and ties for the extension of the St.
Louis & San Francisco Railroad from Vinita,
Indian Territory, to point sixty-fve miles
west Of that place. This will carry the road
over the Arkansas river. This work will
keep right on in sections from there to this
city, where it will connect with the Atlantic
& Pacific road, which Is completed over 800
miles west of here. 1t is expected that the
line will be completed from Vinita to Albu-
querquc at the same time that the road is
completed from Albuquerque to California.
| The steel rails are all ready to ship from here
for this end, and they have some on the way
afioat for the Pacific coast to lay east from
there, SO that at the same time they will be
putting down rails west from Albuquerque
and west from yinita. The line will be CON-
pleted to the Arkansas river by next May,
and to this city in 1888.
A railway publication says that the year

year, the largest previous mileage being ,36'

TIE EFFECT OF THE Law.

The Chicago Tribune publishes a special
from Wichita, in this State, which is repub-
lished in the Times of Kansas City, and in
which it is alleged that the prohibitory law
is failure over the entire State; that Kan
sas City liquor houses are selling more liquors
in Kansas than ever before; and that 10000
people have emigrsted from Kansas to South
western Missouri, to say nothing Of the loss
to Kansas in German and other immigration.
Some Of these statements are partially true /;
others are wholly false. We think it Is true
that the prohibitory law is failure, except
in few places in the State, and we are sat
isfied that the shipments OF liquors to pri-
vate consumers, from points outside the
State has been enormously increased. But
the statement that 10000 people have left
Kansas and gone to Missouri because Of the
adoption of the prohibitory law is pure bosh.
Kansas has not lost three hundred inhabit-
ants. all told, because Of the adoption OF this
law. Further, we do not believe that for
eigu immigration to Kansas has been mater
tally affected by the adoption of prohibition.
Only few weeks ago very large colony OF
prosperous 0eInaDe, uiEcCt HoW tuc oiu
country, settled in Brown county, always
one of the strongest temperance counties in
the State, and every day or so we hear of the
arrival Of emigrants from different European
countries at some point In Kansas.
The Champion does not regard the prohibi-
ton Law as the perfection Of human wisdom
as is well known. But, on the other hand, 1t
has no patience with the stupid talk about
prohibition harmiuIly affecting the growth
and prosperity Of the State. Whisky has
not built up Kansas. Liquor 10 simply de-
structive force. 1t impOyerishes always.
Every dollar that is spent for it is wasted.
1t 10 neither strength, nor food, nor fuel, nor
nor comfort, nor happiness, nor
any thing else that goes to make State pros
porous and great. And so, il Kansas could
effectually aud finally Danish it. the State
would gain, not lose, in all the elements of
real, he.lthful development. The question
Of liquor is, therefore, one Of methods. Men
generally do not differ about the effects Of
iquor, but about the methods or means by
which its use can be best regulated or abol- |
