tion of the country. The per centages

trance to schools.
There were 2s0,O34 public school

average, 1884 per month in South
Carolina and $10l.47 in Nevada

ceived $17.44 in Vermont and
$77 in Nevada. Alabama, Florida,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missis-
sippi, New York, North Carolina, Ten

Among the anecdotes which the soft
hearted and still softer headed admirers
of Frank James love to relate to the
glory of their hero is one belonging to
the period of the Columbia, KY, bank
robbery. When the members of the
band had decided upon that damnable
exploit they spent week in exploring
the surrounding country in the guise of
cattle-buyers, Frank James being hos
pltabiy entertained for several days at
the house of well-to-dO farmer. Dur
ing that time he diligently cultivated
the social amenities, frolicked with the
children and nade himself particularly
agreeable to their grandmother. The
old lady's chief delight in life was to
peruse the "Pilgrim's Progress. James
professed TO be deeply interested in that
immortal work, pored over it by the
hour, and when, finally, he took his de
parture, begged her not to disturb the
mark which he had placed at the point
where he was obliged to stop. A few
days later, whom the country was ring
ing with the story of the murder and
robbery, the old lady scorned to believe
that her pious young friend was a des-
perate villain.

AIr. Click abounds in statistics from
New England, TO show that prohibition
is n failure, and tends 10 foster vice and
increase pauperism and crime. Such
arguments must inevitably fall on stony
ground in Emporia. Noamount of the
orizing can stand in the face of potent
facts. Every fair.minded man and wo.
man in Emporia knows that prohibition
Is to all intents and purposes success
in this city, and that while drunkenness
and debauchery were rife under the Ii
cense system. which tolerated halt
score of open saloons, the
spectacle of an intoxicated
man on the streets Is now extremely
rare. The court records are eloquent
witnesses of the benehcent results of
prohibition, and while we do not pre-
tend TO say that the prohibitory law is
not violated here TO some extent, as ev-
cry law on the statute book is, we do
claim that the people of Emporia are so
we'll satisfied with the change that
nothing would ever induce them to re-
linquish their present vantage ground
and forfeit the moral fruits of prohibit
ton by relaxing their efforts to secure
the vigorous enforcement of measure
which has done so much to advance the
general interests of the town.

New York Tribune. The withdrawal
of Mr.. Beecher from the Association of
Congregational churches, with which
he has so long been connected, will
cause sorrow rather than surprise among
many of his old friends. 1t has long
been known that the pastor of the Ply.
mouth church cared little for the dis
tinctions between orthodoxy and beter-
odoxy, and he has the courage of his
convictions. Even his enemies must re-
spect Mr.. Beecher for the step he has
taken. He does not wish that any man
or association of men shall be RESPONSE
BILE for his views. The points on which
Mr.. Beecher differs from his brethren
touch the atonement and future punish
ment. His theory of the former is the
moral influence theory. He cannot
think that punishment after death is
endless. Mr.. Beecher's withdrawal will
not spread so much CONSERVATION
among many orthodox believers as the
of things which his action has
disclosed. There was q strong feeling
in the association that the
Plymouth church preachers views were
not SO different from those held by many
members as TO make his withdrawal
necessary

Ottawa Republican: There is an ell
ement in politics, which will figure con-
spicuously this year, of which but little
account has been taken. We refer to
the large bodies of newcomers TO Kan
sas, who have become voters. OF this
class the great majority are temperance
men, and will labor and vote for the
straight Republican ticket. representing
as it does the prohibition principles of
the state. In making calculations upoa
the results of the coming election, these
new voters will have an important bear
ing, and we believe that they will ex-
coed in number the Germans and other
Republicans who intend to fly off and
support the. opposition candidates.
These voters are the best class of people; ;
brought to Kansas, mainly through the
influence of the prohibition law, hoping
to secure the best associations and NOR
al and temperate surroundings for their
families. they take an especial interest
in vindicaiing the principles which at
tracted them hither.

In political speech the other day
MIR. Stephens, of Georgia, drew a pic
ture of what might have been if the
Confederacy at the outset had purchased
the entire cotton crop of the south and
shipped it to Europe, thus providing q
capital with which to buy better arms
and munitions of war. The New Or
leans Times Democrat takes up Mr..
Stephens's hypothesis and shows that
the same suggestion was made by Gen
eral "JOe" Johnston and favored by JEFF
ferson Davis. But the project was
promptly overthrown by Messrs. Mem.
Munger and Trenholm, secretaries of the
Confederate treasury, the first proving
that it was impossible to have purchas-
ed or shipped the cotton crop to Europe
and the second that there was no cot
ton crop to ship, as at the time of the
Organization ofthe southern Confedera-
cy, February, nearly the entire cotton
product had already been exported from
the south

Mr.. Click stated in his speech last ev-
ening that his platform was that of Gov
ernor Foster, OF Ohio, namely the regu-
alton of the liquor traffic by means OF a
high license system. And yet this very
issue defeated the Republicans in Ohio
at the last election, and gave the state to
the Democrats by nearly 10000 majority.
There is no measure. however equitable
and Just. looking towards the restric-
ton of the rum evil which would not
meet with the same fierce spirit of OPP
position ct the hands Of the liquor inter.
est and its ally, the Democratic party,
as prohibition has encountered in Kan.
sas and elsewhere, and the utter sup
preston OF the traffic is The only solution
Of the problem which is fast attaining
the proportions Of national issue.

night, hundreds of people being turned
away for want of room. He spoke en-
tirelY of national politics, and pointed
out the difference between the two great
political parties, claiming that the
Democratic party had done nothing for
the advancement of the nation, simply
because of its traditional policy of
strict construction of the constitution.
He reviewed the events of the past
twenty five years, the struggle against
secession, the war, the reconstruction
acts and the financial policy OF the
government, asserting that the Demo-
Gratis had bound their own hands by a
selfdenying act, that prohibited them
from doing in these matters what had
been left for the Republicans TO accom-
plish. This is the only address that

Pouring oil upon the troubled wa

surprised to learn that the plan is in &c

Mr.. Click says that immigration fell
off over 100000 in one year on account
of prohibition in Kansas, and that over
10000 people were driven out of the
state by the adoption of that policy.
We know just how this thing has work
ed in Emporia. The authorities here
have made it too warm for the proprie-
tors Of few low doggeries, who have
found it expedient to seek other fields
of operation, but We doubt whether
even as ardent an anti-prohibitionist as
Mr. Click would think of placing such
people as the Fulls. Mary Parks and
others in the scale over against many
intelligent and cultivated families which
we might name, who have been attract
cd to Emporia by the conditions ofsafety
to their sons and daughters, growing
out of the successful operation of the
prohibitory law in this city.
