prou,Brrrox AND POPCLATioS.-Ws have re-
ceutlv made some statements relative to the bad
effect of prohibition upon Immigration TO Kan
SOS We have stated that the law almost stop
ned Immigration, and that the State was losing
instead of gaining population. The census fig
nres taken by the assessors are now in, and we
can see how near we came to the facts. Hereto
fore. the annual increase of population has been
from 100. 900 to $50, 600 per year. We understand
that the igures just taken show an increase in
the population Of the State Of about TO- 900 in the
two years since the Federal census was taken.
In the light of facts, it is fair to presume that
Kansas received $1,000 immigrants between
Jupe, 1850, when the census was taken, and the
ensuing Winter, when the prohibitory amend
ment was adopted. Adding that to the census,
A loss of 40, 900 is here shown in two years. But
this is not all. There were, by the census Of
1850. within fraction of 100000 people in
Kansas This represented about 200, 900 families.
On an average, there would be at least 80, 600
babies born in those 100000 families in two
wears. Taking, say 1900 deaths, (Which is a
large number,) in the same period, leaves n net
increase Of 5000 from births, in two years.
This, added to the foregoing 10000, represents
loss to the State of 1900 persons But there
has been some, immigration, in the two years.
Call it q, 600. fBut as we have provided for all
the increase in the above figures, We must offset
this q, 600 by the same number gone away. This
gives US, at the very least estimate, loss of
900 in immigration or in persons leaving the
State since the adoption of prohibition. What
good thing prohibition is for the prosperity of
the State! But Iowa will probably adopt prohi-
bition, then Kansas will have company in her
misery.

Az USDIsPUTED FAcT.-Never until now did Sen
ator Cameron venture to proclaim his purpose to
bring the business to his stocks for punshment.
unless they blndly followed him in his mad disrup-
tion Of the Republican party. The Times was one
of several leading journals of Philadelphia that cor
rectly reported Senator Camerons insolent threats
to the business Of city and STATE and its re-
port of his threats imperfect only in the omission
of the worst features of his violent expressions.
Chairman Cooper may invent plausible denals and
Senator Cameron may prepare plausible explains
tons but the fact remains and undisputed by those
to whom the lash applied. that his argument to
the business men of Philadelphia was the whipping
post and the crack of the machine lash. IL was
doubtless done inconsiderately but it was DONE aud
the only mistake of expediency. He said
what he meant but not what he meant 80 plainly TO
express or what the public intended to know.
II was simply the long-practiced machine method OF
PENNSYLVANIA, and when the manufacturers mer-
chants. bankers and business men of the city and
State were imperiously ordered TO the whippngpost,
they were called to the same service and TO the
same penalties which have made every page OF the
history of the Cameron domination a blot upon the
escutcheon of the -fhdddetph'd

AMATEUR PRISTERs.-The National Typograph-
ical Union, at its recent session in st. Louis,
gave decided expression against the concerns
known by the above title; and the old johnson
Type Foundry, of Philadelphia, announce that
they will not sell outfits to amateurs. 1t may
seem like small thing, but these amateur con-
Germs have grown into very great nuisance, es-
pecially to men who have expended large sums
of money in establishing Offices to do good print
ing, and have hired wOrkmen who have spent
years in perfecting themselves in the art. The
amateur concerns are run by smart boys, who
have the foundation to make good mechanics, but
who ruin themselves for all practical purposes
by endeayOring to carry on a business without
learning it, They buy what is called an anna
teur outfit, consisting of cheap press and a few
type, ranging in price from s. to SIS, and then
importune their friends and neighbors for what
printing they may wish done. We have known
some of these amateur fellows who have reached
such degree of Importance as to make it point
to scold and abuse business men in their towns,
who desired something neat in the printing line,
and sent away to get it. They have established
a sort OF reign Of terror, and by the efforts of
themselves and their families, their cousins, and
uncles and aunts, keep the community at their
command. The work done by these concerns is
usually very much gingerbread, or very badly
bOtched. We daily see specimens of their work
that is execrable; and we have lately been
shown specimens that are worse than infamous.
When experienced workmen are forced to COM
pete with such "truck," they have a right to
complain.

The CHIEF Is>UE OF THE CANPAIGN.-Since the
last election the assassination of the President by
selappointed avenger of that faction Of the Repub
lican party which openly advocates the patronage
system and which hal for its special grievance at
the time of the murder TIE refusal of the President
to Weld up il the control of patronage has brought
the country almost unanimously to the conviction
that the first great duty Of craftsmanship to take
the Offices of politics. All that stands be-
tween the people and execution Of this reform Is the
neglect of Congress TO perform the peoples villa
violation duty the part of chosen representatives
which can lie directly traced to the dangerous and
subversve system of politics under which these men
have been elected. What is the remedyi Ii e to
nominate and elect representatives to Congress who
will truly represent. Tonominate men whe honestly
believe in civil service REFORM and in doing something
to bring it about To nominate them for their prin

and in working TO elect, to practice consistently and
per.istently the methods of civil service reform.

DESTRUCTIVE SToRMs-Various sections of
country have been visited by fearful cyclones,
within the past week. On Friday, a very de-
structive storm prevailed in the vicinity of WASH
ington and Hanover, in this State; and that
night, n most fearful hurricane ragged in the
country from Topeka to Leavenworth and Kan
sas City, doing immense damage. The worst of
it was at LeavenwOrth, where property to the
amount of $1,000 was destroyed, and several
lives were lost -Four girls at the Catholic school
situated just south of town, were killed by the
falling in of the cupola of the building. One
man, name unknown, was blown into the river
and drowned.
But still more terrible cyclone occurred in
Central Iowa, on Saturday, and reached into IL
linois and Michigan. Boone and Mt. Pleasant
suffered great loss, but the greatest destruction
was at Grinnell, aud towns in the vicinity. That
town was almost destroyed, and nearly hun
dred lives were lost. There were two colleges
in the town, which were destroyed, and num-
ber Of students were killed. The destruction
cannot be estimated, and the total loss of life
will exceed one hundred persons

We think that Speer and Ross arc the only two
men in Kansas who engaged in publishing and
editing newspapers in the State before we did,
and they were ont of it often and so long, that
they are behind many others ona straight string.
Dwight Thacher commenced about the time we
did, but he was out and away for some years.
Prouty was in Kansas ahead of us, but we think
he was later in the newspaper business on his
own hook besides, he was out, for long time.
John A. Martin did not come to Kansas until We
had been running the Chief six months; and
George W. Martin had not commenced learning
to set type when the Chief was started-and both
were off for several years, since then. Redpath

"substantially Unanimous"

Anotber Morrill, County has been heard from.
Atehison County, last week, held its Conyenii"n'
and appointed delegates to the State Congress
sionaI Convention. The Champion says the Con-
veption was substantially unanimous for Morrill,,
and the editor t-legraphed to the Associated
Press that the delegates were for Morrill, II
this is the way Morrill, is carrying delegates MS
prospects must he bright indeed! Ii Is said the
editor of the Champion contracted to hand over
the delegation to Morrill,, and We suppose ne
must keep up the appearance Of having done 80
although he was fezrfully scOOped in the attempt
The Champion does not even publish the proceed
inrs of the Convention-merely mentions the
appointment of delegates. The particulars arc
given in the Patriot and the Globe, and they have
been confirmed by delegate who participated
in the Convention throughout, and who has CIV
en- us full particulars.
Early in the proceedings, resolution was Of
fered endorsing Morrill, as q candidate for Con-
press. A delegate arose and inquired what
would be the effect of the passage of the resolu-
tion--whether it would be regarded as instruct
ing the delegates to the State Convention to
support Morrill,. The Chairman replied that
such would be the effect. Thereupon the dance
commenced, and ended with showing the reso-
luton under, by a majority of twelve votes
This was the substantial unaBimity Of the Con-
yention for Morrill, II is now expected that the
usual local pressure will be brought to bear upon
the delegates to vote for Morrill,, with the usual
appliances by which Atchson County delegates
have been forced to vote as n unit.
The Patriot and the Globe unequivocally assert
that Col. Martin expects to be a candidate fol
Governor, and bargained the Atchison County
delegates TO Morrill, in consideration of the Brown
County delegates for himself for Governor, in
stead Of st. John, where they naturally belong
that a very large body of Atchison Republican:
are disgusted with the part Morrill, took in the
denomination of st. John, and that coalition
with him would not only be distasteful at home,
but would drive from HIM a larger number OF
delegates than Morrill, could bring him, com.
mencing with six from DOniphan County, that
stood firmly by him when he was a candidate
before 1t never pays to buy opponents at th'
expense of friends.
1t is pretty evident that this Substantial una
nimity" is not visible in the latitude of Hiawa'
tina. Schilling was present at the Convention,
to witness the Morrill, triumph, and went away
sick at the stomach. The Hiawatha Herald
published two days after the Convention, makes
no mention of it, but does publish an editorial
leader in favor Of st. John for Governor-being
due notice to Col Martin TO deliver his delegates
for Morrill,, if he wants any help from Brown
County.

II Quite squad of Doniphan County "re-
formers hied them to St. Joe, Tuesday night,
to hold pow-wow with the Great Squegee who
has undertaken to run this County for Morrill,.
The two propositions discussed were, whether
they could not induce or two of the delegates
to "play off," and support Morrill,, and the pro-
priety of running full delegate ticket, with the
chance of polling big vote by the liberal help
of money, and by taking the anti-MOrrill men
unawares We can inform them, confidentially,
that they will slip up on both propositions. The
candidates for delegates men of their word,
and the Republicans of this County are not in a
state of mind to be bamboozled into supporting
Morrill,.

STILL ANXIOUS FOR BLANE's LEADERsHTP-EI-
Secretary Blaine has declined the invitation Of his
fellow citizens of Maine, to become candidate for
Congressman large, notwithstanding the nomina-
ton would be equivalent to an election. II will be
regretted that Mr.. Blaine cannot reconcile II with
his private business TO again enter public life. and
especially to resume his old position OF Republican
leader Of the House, position which has been vire
tually vacant since he left it. From Secretary Of
STATE to Representative may not like political
promotion but Mr.. Blaine should be willing to sac-
rifce good deal for the party. Even now it suffers
bold leadership in Congress- and IL it should unfor
tunately happen, that in the next House the Demo
Gratis will have q majority, capable leader viii be

Blaine intends TO retire permanently from political
life and. in view of whatever ambition he may en-

the party that has continuously honored him, to
make personal sacrifices for its sake, If it asks him
to do so.-Pkiiadelphia IHqsirer.
