nv part but against nv wishes and protest. re-
gret that the convention didn't confer this high
honor upon some younger and ADLER person; and,
had been aware of the nomination before the con-
yention adjourned. l should have declined. As the
convention had dissolved, and l earnestly
solicited by many citizens of all parties to become
candidate in the interest of good government have
concluded TO accept the nomination and its responsi-
hilities. As my views on questions of public policy
have been openly reviewed in Kansas from 1851 to
the present time, need not refer to them here
ccpt say that they in accord with the platform
adopted by the convention So far they relate to
the is. involved in the present canvass, should
the people, dless of party lines, unexpectedly
decree election can only promise my best endeavors

II They have at last had q conviction fol
selling whiskey, at Hiawatha. The County At
torney made the complaint, and went upon the
witness stand and swore that he had bought
and drank the whiskey. Is it not lovely state
of things, when the officer whose sworn duty il
is to enforce the law, deliberately induces cit
izen to violate it, becoming himself a par
ty to the violation, in order to get chance to
prosecute, for the purpose of making capital for
his own reelection The worst of it is, that
the prosecution is said to have been partly
through spite, because the druggist refused to
sell him more whiskey,

are sent out. Persons who have always lived in
the country, cannot form the slightest idea oi
what treat and blessing it is to children who
are pennsd up in large cities, where they seldom
see tree, or green grass, OF clear running water
to get out into the cool, fresh country.

a Rev. Nehemiah Green, of Manhattan, once
Lieutenant Governor of this State, was an active
participant in the recent Democratic Convention
in Riley County, and the papers are expressing
surprise, and asking when he became Demo
crat, rs they had never heard Of it before. They
are very obtnse. Being preacher, he is first.
class hypocrite and shyster, and capable of any
treachery. He is pretending to be Democrat
in order to get into the Democratic State Con.
vention, and divide it on the prohibitory ques.
tion, and thus prevent the Democratic party from
using its strength effectively for the defeat Of
st. John. Perhaps he was set apart by the last
Conference for this very purpose.

A BRoKES ARM.-A member of the Wichita Base
Ball club boke his yesterday, while playing ball
on the holy Sabbath day. The next time he will get
his back broken. You can play church, if YOU want
to, by getting together and going through the exer-
cisess of religion, Yam play Sunday school, by
getting together and singing gushy songs about
ing to Jesus bat you play base ball. IL is
all wrong. You might have hired a team and gone
to camp meeting and had regular jamsoree, and
it would h<e been all right; but you played base
ball. and broke your arm. The way Of the trans
gressor is hard. and base ball is dangerous game.
The young man, George Zinn, has sympathy,
but he will get hut very little sympathy from any
body else Wichita Times.

"a FIXED FACT."-Thc Atchison Champion
keeps repeating that Prohibition is part of the
Constitution, and a fixed fact, and will forever
remain So. Ii may hc a fixed fact to persons
who squat easily the Champion does but
there are good many people in the State who
do not regard i: Us a fixed fact, and mean to keep
backing against it until it is no longer a fixed
fact. Slavery was given up rs fixed fact, and
its opponents did not pretend 10 resist it, except
in lis extension TO certain new territory. When
old Taney deciding that negro had no
rights that a white man was bound to respect,
aud public officers all over the nation were made
nicger-catchers like the officers all over this
State are made whiskey detectives by the prohi-
hitiun law, and when slavery was apparently a
more fixed fact than ever before, il was on the
very eve of its downfall. Prohibition is not a
fixed fact, rs long its opponents have the
backbone to fight it, although it may seem. for
2 time. TO cverwhelm everything.

yards at Doniphan, was in Atchison yesterday, and
left in the evening for home, in a buggy When
within 5alf mile of Independence Greek, about
s o'clock, man stepped out Of the brush ahead OF
him, and fired at him with -ihe, the ball whistng
close TO Mr.. Brenners head. and burying itself in
the hill behind him. The heavy set ard
was in plain view when he fired, not more than a
hundred feet away, hut owing to the approaching
darkness. Mr. Brenner could not recognize him again.
Mr.. Brenner came back TO Atehison and spent the
night here, and as he is not engaged in a quarrel
with any one. he is greatly puzzled TO know who
wants to take his life.-itehiSoH Globe, TResday

rS- An unusually large number Of Sunday
School Conventions are being held throughout
Kansas, this Summer. gentleman who has
attended several, informs US that il is q part Of
the programme to offer resolution in favor Of
the reelection of st. John, thus endeavoring to
commit all present, of whatsoever party, in favor
of st. John. If there was ever anything utterly
useless and of no possible benefit, it is the Sun
day School. 1t is forcing children to tax their
brains on day set apart for rest from study,
and to fill their minds with slush and slop; or
where expeditions for mischief are concoeted for
the remainder of the day. Perhaps it is best
that they take this course to disgust people with
the humbug.

~ good deal Of bogus Indignation is being
inGulged in, because some scamp in Topeka
shaved the tail Of a horse and cut the harness of
a iack-leg lawyer named X. b. Welch, who had
been making himself bnsy prosecuting saloon
keepers man who would injure a helpless
animal belonging to a person whom he hates,
ought to be hung. That's the justice of the mat
ter. The business of it seems to be simply that
Welch busted himself trying to destroy the busi-
tess of other people, and other people retaliated
by destroying his property. This is a legitimate
result Of the Prohibitory Law. The prohibition
meddler doesn't like the saloOn-keeper's business,
and the saloon-keePer doesn't like the prohibi-
tioni.t's business; so they go to destroying each
others property. Selfpreservation is law that
is stronger than the prObibitory law.

now does business in Falls City, Nebraska, says
that town receives heavy trade from Brown
County, extending within two miles of Hiava-

persons so trading is, that they are not prohibit
ed from buying glass of beer or whiskey in

they are in Kansas. As this gentleman is still q
