FERTILIZATION.

The Democratic speakers were very
emphatic at tine Publication last night in
this city in pronouncing the permanent
demise of prohibition as political ques-
ton II IS very evident from the actions
of the Democrats, not only in Kansas
but throughout the country, that
prohibition Is not lone of
their things" as Web Wilder
once said. They do not look upon it
with any degree of friendship. Prohi-
bition and Democracy are as antagonis-
tic in their afIinities as OIL and water.
That party looks upon prohibition as
its enemy. There is no doubt but that
prohibition in Kansas received some
thing of a black eye in the recent
election, but that it is dead, or even dis.
abled, we do not believe. We will say
now what we have not said before dur
Ing the contest over prohibition, be-
cause We do not believe in divided coun-
ellis in tho midst of battle, and that is
that the prohibitionists made some mis-
takes. We shall not mention them now,
because they will appear further on in
the fight, further than tn express the
opinion that they chiefly came from the
ill-considered councils of hot-hcaded
friends and from designing ones who
made prohibition u hobby. These are
mistakes which are natural in any new
struggle where its leaders are untried,
and they will be remedied in the future.
Prohibition is principle. A princi-
pie may;slumber but it does not die. 1t
Is not likely to lie dormant very long in
Kansas, where il has so many adheTents.
II is opposed directly to the whisky in
terest which is aggressive and very
harmful, and that there is still To be a
conflict there is no doubt; that prohibit
ton will continue to disturb the waters
of both parties there is no
doubt; that it will interfere
with the ambitious schemes of
politicians of both parties there
1t is no doubt. 1t has gained too strong
u foothold in Kansas though TO be quiet
ly relegaied to a back seat. 1t
has engrafted itself on the state consti-
tuition, and has done great good for the
best interests OF society already. 1t
may have suffered because it tied its
fortunes too closely to the political in-
terests of one man, but it will rally and
those politicians who flatter themselves
that it has received qufetus will soon
find out what silly mistake they have
made.

Finch, Lord s. Nelson's Operations in
the Texas Pan Handle.
Burlingame Chronicle: o. II. Mel,
son, in a conversation with the editor of
the Chfonicle, the other evening. let
down some interesting facts concerning
the transactions of the firm OF Finch,
Lord & Nelson, in Texas, which will be
interesting TO their many friends in this
county.
Their deal this season embraces fully
6,0O0 head of cattle mot Texas, but do.
mestic. Their Operations have been
carried on in the Pan Handle, that part
of Texas. west of the Indian Territory,
and separated from Kansas by strip
only thirty five miles wide, left by the
government as a highway for Indians
and cattle between the territory and
Mexico.
Among other interesting items, we
learn that this firm has purchased an
immense cattle ranch, containing over
$4,000 acres of land, situated south of
the Red river. 1t is wedge shaped, with
the broad end west, and the point east.
On the north and south lines fences are
being erected by the parties owning the
adjoining ranches. These fences are barb
ed wire, four strands, on cedar posts, The
fence south of them exetends for fifty
miles. The land on the west extends to
the edge Of the staked plains, where
there is a natural barrier, and but little
fence required.
Mr.. Nelson informs US that land will
soon be entirely under fence, and good
stone house and store room will be put
up for the accommodation of "cow
boys" The haul of supplies will be
from the south on the Texas Pacific, one
hundred and fifty miles distant, that
load being nearer than Dodge City on
the Santa Fe.
Mr.. Nelson also informs US that cap
italists are buying up the range in vast
tracts and fencing it. English and
Scotch capitalists show more courage in
investment than Americans.
The cattle trail from Texas to Kansas
is fifty miles east of the ranch of Finch,
Lord s. Nelson, and We are informed
that cattle owners in the Pan Handle are
as much afraid of the native Texas cat
tie as are Kansans

Immense Crew of Railroad Contractors
VIII Make Things Lively at


WAsHsNGToS, Nov. 1G.-A telegram
from Peter Roman, agent at Flathead
Indian agency, Montana, was received
at the Indian Office this morning: An
immense crew of railroad contractors
are now at work west of the reservation
In charge of j. l.. Hallett. con-
sisting of 7,400 men with camp
followers, gamblers, ex-convlcts, lewd
women, &c, are rapidly advancing to
the borders of the reservation, accom-
panied by portable saloons, gambling
houses, etc. Merchants and traders of
all descriptions also advance with the
construction party and when the border
of the reservation is reached the ques-
tion will arise whether the trade can be
continued in the Indian country / will
require from your office some instruc-
tons as TO any notifications should you
propose such in regard TO the inter
course laws. 1t is evident this vast
army of laborers must be supplied
while at work on the reservation, and
if your instructions imply a
strict conformity to the intercourse laws
governing Indian reservations the regu-
larry licensed traders of the reservation
should have timely notice to provide
supplies which will meet The exigencies
of the case. l will at all events require
a military force to keep back the traders,
shop-keepers, saloons, etc, who have
followed up the construction party
named If decided that the agency
licensed traders alone shall be allowed
to do business on the reserVa-
tions with the military force
/ apprebend no danger or difficulty in
keeping whisky traders off the reserva-
ton. But in regard 10 the prohibition
of the sale of clothing and necessary
supplies by shop-keepers now advancing
with this army of working men you
will please give the necessary instruc-
tions and / will follow them and per-
form my duty 10 the best of my ability

HONEY IN POLITICS

Money does not seem to have cut such
a figure in the late elections as usual.
The Buffalo Courier says: "rhe faith
in money AS the great agent in Ameri-
can politics has, We imagine, been rude
ly shaken in the recent election. In
many places where rich men have been
brought forward as candidates on their
promise to spend literally ito help the
ticket poor men have been actually put
in the field against them and carried the
day" 1t will be bright day for Amer
icS in more ways than one when money
is eliminated from our politics as an
agent. It's work is nearly always evil,
corrupting and shameful. 1t is the
breeder of the "boss" system, and its il
legitimate use in elections is doing more
to sap the foundations of our institutions
than all other agents. When the time
comes when men are not selected foI
high and responsible stations simply be.

Charles I. Vansant, who was killed
on the Pennsylvania railroad the other
evening, was the hero of one of the
most gallant episodes of the late war
He bore the cOlors of his regiment at
Balls Bluff, and when, during desper-
ate charge, his colonel was shot, he bore
him from the field, and then returned,
amid a hail of bullets to rescue the
flag. Five times was it captured by the
rebels, and regained by Vansant in q
hand-to-hand struggle At last he
broke away with the flag and reached
the river. His enemies were ut his very
heels, but he plunged into the river,
dived to the bottom, placed the flag
there under a stone, and then swan TO
the shore and escaped. Afterward he
revisited the spot. and succeeded in find
ing and restoring 10 the regiment the
flag he had 50 desperately defended.

WOODS LL1TLE GAME.

The notorious Sam Wood, who ran
for congressman-at-large at the recent
election, got more votes than such a
character ought to have had, and more,
perhaps, than he would have had If his
little game of political hocus pOcus had
been understood. He played his cards
to get as many votes as possible 10 give
him a footing TO contest. While the
Democratic convention in this city un-
ceremoniously kicked him out when
some admirer nominated him, he
finally succeeded in his scheme TO place
his name on the Democratic ticket,
having previous TO this been nominated
by the Greenbackers. In this way and
by the tricks peculiar to him
he succeeded in running about 10000
votes ahead of the other opposition
Candidates, 81 far as the returns are in. He
has something oyer IL 900 votes less than
Judge Hanback, the lowest man ON the
Republican ticket. SO far his game has
worked very we'll and he has q plausible
endorsement for the balance of his
bCuCuC- w INT 10 bnuts VIII SOhlCcN
the election OF Judge Peters, on the
ground that the latter is not eligible on
account Of the provision in our consti-
tuition which says: "Such justices or
judges (supreme and districD shall re-
ceive no fees or perquisites, nor hold any
other Office OF profit or trust under the
authority Of the state or United States
during the term for which said justices
and judges shall be elected" II will be
remembered that Mr.. Peters is judge
OF the Ninth district, Sam will make
this the pretext for a contest, as We are
informed. Il is believed by many that
the house, which is the exclusive judge
of the qualifications OF its members,
will not take any notice of the provision
in our constitution, as was the case when
Judge Brown was sent from the bench
OF the same district in 1874. Whether
Sam Wood gets in or not he will be the
gamer by this little game, because as
contestant he will be allowed. during
the contest, which will probably last a
good many months, per diem and
mileage, under the practice of
congress. So he will be that
much ahead. Sam is essentially
a political tramp, and has made the
rounds of the parties and factions in
Kansas. He has no visible means of
existence that anybody knows of, and
this little job will give him the means,
whether he gets in or stays out, to drag
out his existence some longer. Those
who voted for him simply gave him a
chance to get a few thousand dollars out |
of the national treasury, which ever
way the contest goes, and it will GER
tainly be against him, and to which he
will have NO honest title and for which |
be will render no service that will be |
OF any use whatever to Kansas or the
government. This is Sam WoOd's |
''leetle game"

Burglars operaling on safe 10 a

Burglars operating TN safe 10 store
a. Hot Springs, Arkansas. got rather
..Eps1e than they bargained for. Inside
'thesafe was stored a quantity Of dynam-
lite Eprepared in the form of percus-
sion. caps for blasting purposes. The
craftsmen drilled hole and inserted
fuse, and when the explosion took
place it was on n much larger scale
than they had anticipated. The safe was
blown to atoms, and the doors, windows
and wood work OF the store completely
shattered. For n wonder, neither Of the
burglars was killed or disabled, though
a suspicious character with a bruised
shoulder has since been arrested.
Here is hint which the burglar-proOf
and time-lock safe makers might do
worse than to act upon; Abandon the
hopeless task of trying to make safe
which burglars can't get into, and put
something inside which will make the
burglars wish they hadn't succeeded.
