A GOOD DECLsTON.

The announcement yesterday in our
kilograms that the supreme court of
Ohio had sustained the constltutiOnality
of the Scott law, which levies a heavy
tax on whisky selling in that state, was
received with delight by the friends of
temperance everywhere. The saloon
keepers had made q direct fight ON that
law IN Ohio, and were disregarding it
just as they are the prohibition law in
this state, and the triumph is substan-
tial one for temperance, and long stride
in the right direction. It's enforcement
will be the leading question at issue be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
parties in the campaign just opened in
Ohio, the Republican candidate for gov
ernor having squarely and uneqmvocal-
ly Ia ken grounds IN favor of the Scott
law, while the Democrats are for free
whisky.

when we met him, with his coat off, and
his shirt-sieeves rolled up to his elbows,
driving three big stout horses ta pillow

The trip home was as pleasant and
interesting in every respect as the one

farm on the way back, and on
it we saw growing all in

of corn, apparently in the most flourish

very bold and cheeky scheme, almost
equal to the proposed sale and shipment

New York Tribune: Next to MAJ or
Harrison, Senator VOORHEES, is probably
the f.uI.kcst statesman in the Democratic
party. The two men agree heartily In
believing that free trade policy will
ruin the PARITY If it be adopted in 1884.
The mayor says he believes in free trade,
but thinks the party should pretend to
believe in protection till il gets into
power, when it should turn about and
wipe out the whole protective system.
voorhees, is a shade more diplomatic.
He was roaring free.srader previous
to November, 1880. The disaster
which befell General Hancock during
that month converted VOORHEES, in the
twinkling OF an eye. he has since been q
DrotectiOnist of the most thoroughgoing
sort He says in q recent interview that
tariff with incidental protection is the
sort of thing the national Democratic
platform must declare for or the party
will be defeated. why" he exciaims,
"a cow and goose are the biggest fools

tariff can be laid without protection"

the contemplation OF COW which per-

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
KANSAS TOWNS

In its last issue the Troy Chief has an
article comparing the growth OF towns
lin northern and southern Kansas. Il Is
y matter which we had not thought of
before. but what the Chief says is un-
|douhtedly correct. Many Of the towns
lin northern Kansas are smaller than we
hsd supposed, according 10 the enumera-
'tions taken tins spring. We quote what
the Chief says:
at II fact that cannot be disputed,
that southern Kansas Is gong ahead OF
northern Kansas In increase of wealth
Ind population. The returns show It.
Every pernon who sees the two sections

IN think OF two reasons why southern

Mss CLICKS WEDDING.

Atchison Patriot: The wedding was
of more especial interest from the social
standing OF the parties. Governor Click
is among the pioneers OF Atchison. His
home has been here from the birth of
the city. and no citizen has aided more
largely in contributing to its prosperity.
Ali that he has IN life he has made him
self here. He has enjoyed the perfect
confidence of the people OF this county,
and has been honorcd by them often, not
only as lawyer but as a citizen. aud in
the very prime Of life he has been hon
ored by the people of the state Of Kansas
with the highest honor within their
gift; and there is no improbability in
still ~ honors awaiting him. Had
there been house big enough IN Kansas
to have contained all the friends who
would have been delighted to wit
ness the nuptIal ceremonies of
the daughter of Geo. w. Click, they
would have been most heartily welcom-
ed. AS 1t was, but very few OF the old
estscitizens of the city were present
men who came here cOntempornneously
with the governor. and who have stoo d
shoulder to shoulder with him in work
ing for AtchisOn for quarter of Gen.
tury. They were there simply to testify
their regard for the family and the kind
ly wishes for the little girl they had.
