From Kansas.

OLATHE, KAN, May 26, 1888.
To the Editors of the Standard:
Please continue to send me the
Standard another year. Crops look
very promising here now. Wheat
will be little short strawed, but is
filling very well. It has been very
good wheat weather for about two
weeks; it is rather wet now, but looks
like we would have nice weather.
Oats and corn are growing nicely
now. There will not be very large
crop of fruit, but will have enough to
do if nothing happens yet.
Yours Truly,
SAMUEL SMITH.

iAoy AOf AOOc'
Editors Jackson Standard,
Sirs:-I see published in your paper
Of May 24th an address or lecture de-
ivered in the Court House in your
city, by one DR.. A. L. Knight, in
which he refers to Preacher Doctors"
and especially to one living in this
city, and who at one time read paper
on Gull Stones before the Indiana
State Medical Society; and he also
states that this same preacher Doc
tor after the publication of this ar
ticle in the transaction of the State
Society, carried it about and showed
it, or exhibited" to his patients.
Will you have the kindness to inform
me who requested the publication of
the address, and who furnished the
large number Of papers for distribu-
ton in this city? There is in this
city a medical ''crank," who at one
time attempted to preach, but who
made complete failure, and who is
now engaged in the practice Of medi-
cine, and fighting other physicians,
and who at one time published cir
cular referring to myself, as I at one
time, in the year 1865, took charge of
a congregation and preached in the
Broadway Church in the city of Piqua,
O., and for this crime, [ have been
followed by this crank for nearly
four years; but as he has failed to have
the papers in this city publish any of
his attacks against me, he has had this
DIR. Knight copy his circular and give
it to your people as an address, and
have you publish it, and then he pro-
cured copies Of the paper and distrib-
uted them here in this city. ] would
most respectfully refer you for my
standing in society and the profession,
to the Editors of the Daily Gazette, or
Daily Sentinel, or any Of the papers in
this city. have paid no attention to
the ''crank" in this city, but think I
will pay my compliments to DR..
Knight in the next issue of the Fort
Wayne Journal Of the Medical
Sciences. Please let me hear from
you soon.
I have no fault to find with you for
publishing the lecture. Should you
desire, 1 will send you a copy of the
circular from which DR.. Knight copied
a considerable portion of his lecture.
I regret very much that I am COM
PEELED to trouble you, but there are a
few things about this lecture and its
publication and distribution in this
city I would like to know. [ would
be glad if you would write some Of the
Editors of our papers in this city and
satisfy yourself Of my standing, &C.,
Yours Respectfully,
G. B. STEMEN.
DIR. Williams, of our town, re-
sponsible and worthy physician, hand
ed US the manuscript of the lecture"
and asked US if we would publish it,
aud if we would make any charge. We
told him we would not make any
charge. He then handed US the
names and number Of extra copies to
be sent, and told US to charge them to
him and his partner, DR.. Crumit. By |
this time DIR. Knight had come in, and
he proposed to pay for the extra
copies. We told him we would charge
them to Crumit & Williams, and they
could settle the matter among them
selves. EDS. STANDARD.

A LICENSE to the doggery-keeper
would relieve him from the payment
of fines and costs. The wholesale liq-
uor-dealers would pay the tax for the
small dealers who could not pay for
themselves, and new doggeries would

The Temperance question should,
if possible, be settled outside Of the
political parties. But as long as it is
not outside of them, Republicans
should remember that decent, law:a-
biding citizens will not go forth to
battle if they be called upon to follow
the ''colors" of the grog-shop. A red
nose is not an emblem of victory.

but eternal fire. It is curious ques-

saloon cursed American town. I sus-
pect he would heat his hell ten times

every wine shop from the Caspian to

hundred years, among at least one
hundred millions of the human race,
have proved that Prohibition does pro-
hibit. Would to God Christianity

has adhered to the teachings Of Saky-

reared his huts on the Palatine, but
she under Prohibition stands erect to-
day. Drunken Greece, Rome and
Egypt, serve but ''to point moral or

stand on the Scott bill all right; but
please do not keep up this thread-bare
lie that Prohibition don't prohibit.

who has be here sevsral days, work.
ing for Carlisle, had long interview to-
night with that gentleman, who is his
personal friend and neigh Dor. Carlisle
very briefly expressed his views as to e
policy that should be pursued by the
majority. He said he recognized the sact
that it was the principle OF which he was
representative that had elected him, and
it wss something to be thankful for that
the Democratic party had at last realized
that the principle affecting the interests
Of the great maj ority Of tire people was
vastly more important TO the party and
country than the success OF any man. He
interpreted bis election to mean hat from
this time forth the Dem ocratic party will
go to the per pie with an aggressive and
definite policy and adhere to it. This
was right and deserved TO wih. He said
the committees will be organized with
the view solely to the fitness Of members
for the various subjects Of legislation that
would command the attention Of Con-
gress and without uRdue regard to their
relation: with him in the recent contest.
