HOW TO DO IT.

We have clause in our constitution pro-
hhiting the miscellaneous sale of intoxicst-
ing drinks. II is violated openly every day.
The question of how far the state can go,
and IN what direction it is necessary to
move to enforce its laws, W ould seem to be
a good field for discussion and inquiry. In
other words: How would our learned
brethren of the press enforce the constitu-
ton: We do not want them TO wait, as
usual, until after the Legislature has adj
iourned and then denounce the members as
a set Of nineompoops, but to tell in advance
how 10 do it. There is plenty of time, and
the information would be valuable. We
have had our SAY in this matter, and have
had respectful attention and the adherence
OF a good and respectable following. This
is the work of the next legislature, and the
members would undoubtedly be glad to have
the work mapped out for them in advance,
instead of being denounced after they 90
home.-Osage Chronicle.
As the writer Of the above uses the name
of the EAGLE in connection with the above,
we viii reply that on more than one oeea-
sion We have pointed ont more than one
way, hut we have no objection TO repeating
them:
Make the sale Of liquor not only a crime, but
the place of Its sale nuisance, with pro-
vision for any constable or sheriff 10 search.
seize and abate in the name Of the state.
Another method which we have SET out Is
the establishing of a county criminal court,
with powers equal to the district court in
all liquor cases.

ST. John FOR PLUMB.


senator Plumb declares that he is ia favor
of st. Johns reelection. What Is of more
Importance to Mr.. Plumb is to extract pub
lie confession from ST. John that he is in
favor of Plumb's re-election.-haE rf'y

Governor st. John told ms that he was not
candidate for Senator Plumb's place, and
he further told us that he was in favor
of the reelection of Senator Plumb AID
would support him.-LcaueRworfh Tins.
One-fourth of the counties of Kansas have
already instructed their representatives fol-
Senator Plumb. We think he will be re-
turned without a fight, as he should be.
There is not doubt OF his reelection. kan'
sas could not afford 10 send another man in
his place. His influence and services are toe
valuable to be dispensed with. We do moi
now believe that GOV. ST. John is candi-
date for Senator Plumb's place. Whatever
may have been his original purposes in this
matter, we think he is not now in the field.
And even If he were, he could not beat Mr.
Plumb The Senator will be reelected be-
cause he is the choice of the people Of th,
state, and because Kansas cannot afford ia
dispense with his services in the senate

at is only pity that the Democrats are
so poorly Off in New York, in point of both
leaders and condition, as to be unable to de-
rive much profit out of these dissensions
