THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.

Because, in spite of the prestige and power
of the Republican party. the people oil the
State so deierninedly sat down upon the
apostle Of prohibition in the last campaign,
many papers and politicians seem to think
the Legislature will be compelled, in response
to the popular demand. to re-submit the
question of prohibition. We take occasion
to predict that no such thing will be done.
A majority of the Legislature viii not favor
a re-submission of the question for various
reasons, the principal one being convection
that the people would refuse to annul such
amendment. A majority Of the House VIII
be found to be against the amendment ana
against the present law. Some will want to
| re submit, others will want the amendment
TO stand, but will favor more liberal law or
| law which can be more successfully en-
| forced, while still others will be for new
constitution. As it takes two thirds Of both
House and Senate to re-submit the question
we think it is perfectly safe to say that 1t won
be done. And the chances are that between
the many conflicting notions, convictions ano
personal interests neither constitutions
convention or amended law will be had.
Amendments TO constitutions are frequent
but the annuling of amendments unneart

RAILWAY LEGISLATION.

The Legislature is being inundated with |
advice. schemes, suggestions and threats
touching law for the control OF railways
and their freight and passenger tariffs. 1t
seems, and il is, probably, useless, to say any
thing more upon the subject, further than to
keep reminding the members that outside OF
the howl OF the demagogue, gotten of for
political effect and in hopes OF an Office,
there Is really desire, and from some local..
tiles, n demand, upon the part OF the people
for law against discrimination, especially
determinations as between individuals. or
course the larger towns OF the State, togeth-
or with the people shipping to, from and
through such larger places would prefer no
law against Determinations as between
points, but would prefer an attempt upon the
part of the State TO fix maximum for freight
and passenger rates. There are others, In
fact large proportion of the State yet I'M
provided with railroads, who are opposed to
any kind of railway legislation. Yet, after
all, we think If the present legislature fails,
because of these conflicting interests, to
pass some just law upon the subject, it Will
be Il great mistake. That the Legislature
can make an equitable and just law, which
shall fix absolute rates per ton, per mile, ana
not cripple one half OF the railways in the
State and debar all future building, we do
not believe. But they can fix maximum
rates for, say. three different classes OF roads,
both as to through and local freights and as
to through and local passengers. To cripple
our railways is to cripple ourselves. To
stop further railroad building is to stop or
retard our present rapid development as a
State.
The more we think, Of and the mere we
study the question, the more are we con-
WINGED that whatever law is enacted there
should also be provided railway commits
sion with powers 10 examine all accounts and
books of railroad companies and to issue or
ders of the force and effect Of the law. Such
a commission would be guard in two d.
rections a guard against railway eXtortion
upon the one hand and guard against the
ruin of railway property upon the other
SO far in our history the railways of Kansas
have been our greatest material blessing
We have secured them beyond our wildes'
expectations Of fifteen years ago, but stu
we want ns many more. They have not only
advertised Kansas and filed Kansas up with
people. but brought us the biggest portion
Of our capital and now pay very large pro-
portion of our taxes. And while we believe
in ruling them as q matter OF right and pro-
lection, we still believe in fostering them Of
amatter Of present profit and future good.
The whole question involved is, after all
one defining the rights o! transportation ant
OF agriculture, respectively.

An IMPORTANT DECISION.

TOPEKA, January Am important dccls'
ion was rendered in the Supreme Court yes
terdav in the case of the State Of Kansas VS..
Peter Mugeler, on appeal from Saline coua'
ty. A peculiar Importance is attached 10
this case, as, for the first time In Kansas
since the passage Of the amendment.
the question was raised touching its validity
in respect to taking the property OF the indi-
vidual without due process of law, as guar
.n,eed by the constitution Of the United
States. The defendant. who Is the owheroi
a brewery in Salina, which he valued at Sio,-
600 al the time of the passage Of the amend
ment. alleged that by the passage OF said ACT
his property was deprecated in value 10
50 800 The opinion in question afhrmed the
action of the lower court. In rendering this
opinion the court used the following signfi-
cant language:
..Tbe Legislature has probably gone long
way in destroying the values OF such KINDS
of properly as the defendant owns, aud mas
nossib,y gone TO the utmost constitutional
authority"
In vigorously expressed dissenting opin-
ion, Justice Brewer says:
81 have yet TO be convinced that the Leg
islature has the power to prescribe what a
citizen shall eat or drink, or what medicines
he shall take, or prevent him from growing
that which, in his judgment, he approves for
his own use as food, drink or medicine. Fur
ther. prior to the constitutional amendment,
the manufacture of beer was free and unre-
s.ricted. No license, permit or condition
was required. Under that state OF the law,
th;s defendant invested his means in build
Ing and machinery suitable for the purpose
of manufacturing beer. and unsuitable for
any other purpose; worth $4,000 tor the for
NOR use: and not worth to exceed $4,000 9TH
erwise. The denial of the use has thus prae.
tically deprived him Of $500. Is not this
taking private property for public use with
out any compensation! II the public good
REQUIRES the destruction Of the value Of the
property, is not prior compensation ind's-
peueable!''

GOVERNOR GEORGE WASHINGTON CLICK.

In broad day light. On last Monday, in the
Capitol at Topeka, democrat grasped the
scepter OF n State that gave the world John
Brown-becamc the head OF people, whose
spirit triumphed in a conflict that liberat-
ed a race. Never before in the history OF
Kansas was the like recorded. As the ward
of democratic administration her territor-
ial days had been blackened and burthened,
but the spirit OF her baptism triumphed at
her maturity, and the power that then
would have crushed and blasted has been
warded OF till now. The poets who sung
of her victories, and the statesmen who ex-
.tolled her Virtues, have all happily been
spared this hour OF complete revolution.
The man who mourned progress, he vainly
strived to stay. is now arbiter Of our for
tunes. The break has ut last overcome The
moving power, and time serving CONSERVE

A DRY YEAR.

In the meteorological report OF Prof Snow,
of the State University. published in the
Champion a few days ago, the very remarha-
BILE statement is made that the entire rain
fall during the year 1882 was only 300 Inches
which is 7.12 inches below the annual ram
fall for the past fourteen years. Yet, not
withstanding this small annual rainfall. the
crops of Kansas for the year 1852 have rarely
been excelled, either in quantity or quality.
The rainfall came when it was most needed.

The social given by the Presbyterian So

ly, unsteady and socially. Before eight
o'clock the large and imposing edifiee was
damned with stalwart farmers, their brave
and brawny sons and their fair wives and
daughters. The tables literally groaned
with the weight of good things which were
provided for the occasion. 1t was truly an
ENJOYABLE affair. Miss Brooke and Mrs.
Leslie presided at the organ, and discoursed
excellent music at intervals through the
evening. Mrs Leslie seemed the very in
carnation OF music as she played and sung
one of those pathetic, sweet and plainfive
airs which forcibly recalled to my mind the
words of the poet:
