The people Of Kansas Incorporated the prohib-

Legislature that was ready and willing TO pass
any law that he might ask to secure the enforce
meat Of the amendment. We had prohibition,
St. John and an iron-clad liquor law for two
years. aud We also had free whisky in nearly
eTerv town in the State during all that time. The
people did not really believe in prohibition. but
they we're willing 10 give Ii q fair trial. They
have learned that prohibition will not prohibit.
Now then, with all due respect to 81. John and
his friends insist that, failure is writ

that the voters OF this State will consent 10 cover
the same ground again, even by different route.

The End of a Duelist.

The Comte de Larilller one of the we'll
born among the bretteurs, ret one day in
the street business man named Castera
walking with his young and pretty wife,
He advanced to him and said, with polite
bow: II beg your pardon, but L have made
bet with my friend here, whom 1 beg TO
introduce TO you, that would
kiss your wife while she was
walking with you"-here the ether
man turned livid-"after having given
you g slap in the face" Castera fought him
next day with pistols. The Counts first shot
hit Castera on the right ear, his second on
the left. Before the third, he said: "Cette
tois je ferai mouche," and with the third he
shot Castera through the eye Castera was
avenged in a manner dramatic enough. One
night as Larillier sat il his fsvorite
seat in a cafe, while NAKED ball was
going on hard by, stranger in domino
and mask came ND to him, overturned his
glass of punch, and ordered glass of crgeat
instead. Larilliere, for the first time in his
drel, you don't know who l am" "Oh yes"
the stranger replied, II know who you are
quite well, and, with the words, forced
him down into the chair from which he had
risen. The orgeat was brought, and the
stranger, holding pistol to Laril-
Heres head, said: "Unless you drink
this off 1 shall blow out your brains
on the spot; If you do drink il
off, | will do you the honor of fighting you
to- morrow" with the saber?" cried Larit
here, who had lately been practicing with
that arm. How you like" said the stran-
ger. Then, ss Larilliere drank off the orgeat,
he added: II have humbled you enough to-
night. / put off killing you till tomorrow"
The morrow came, the sdyersaries met, and
Larilliere found that he had met his match.
The stranger left him not a moments
breathing space, but never followed up his
attacks, until at last Larilliere cried, inso-
lently: "When are you going 'tcsiill me?'
Nov" said the stranger, for the first time
using his sabre like q duelling sword, and
lunging it straight through Larilliere's
heart. Masses were said in the Churches of
Bordeaux for this man, who kept hlk name
a secret, and who had rid the town of its
scourge.

required. Sentiment and pathos are not
in demand. None OF the arts of oratory are
called for. Rhetoric may stand aside. Let
US have the logic Of results, of facts, OF ex-
per1ence-truth without establishment We
start out with the plain declaration of the
Topeka Commonwealth, a Republican organ.
1t presents no fancy sketch, and the Gov
ernor of Kansas tells his people and pro-
duces the figures to prove what he says, that
prohibition in Kansas has proved to
be a wretched, disastrous and q de-
moralizipg failure The logic OF results
is convincing Experience has been
dear school for Kansas, but
the people have been taught in it, have paid
their tuition fees, have graduated, and with
generous benefcence are giving to their
neighbors the wealth of their knowledge.
We are inclined to the opinion that the pee
pie will gladly listen to the logic OF results,
and endeavor, with prudent forethought,
to escape such results as have fallen to the
lot of Kansas. Wise. prudent, restraining
laws are in demand, laws that can be en-
forced and obeyed-and il it be made mat
ter OF prayer. let the people pray for a reign
of common sense.

Old But Good.

Nowadays when a subscriber gets so mad
because an editor differs with him on some
trivial question that he discontinues his sub
scription and "stOps his paper" We remind
him of good anecdote of the late Horace
Greeley. the well known editor of the New
York Tribune. Passing down Newspaper
Row, in New York city, one morning, he
met one OF his readers, who exclaimed: "Mr.
Greeley, after the article you published this
morning, intend to stop your paper" "Oh!
no." said Mr.. Greeley, don't do that. Eyes,
sir, my mind is made up, and shall stop
the paper" But the angry subscriber was
not to be eppfased, and they separated.
Late in the afternoon the two met again,
when Mr.. Greeley remarked: "Mr. Thomp-
son, am very glad you did not carry out
your threat this morning" "What do you
mean?' why, you said you were going to
stop my paper" And so did; Went to
the office and had your paper stopped"
"You are surely mistaken; have just come
from there, and the press was running and
business booming" Sir" said Thompson,
very pomppously, 81 meant intended to
stop my subscription to your paper" "Oh,
thunder" rejoined Greeley, 81 thought you
were going to stop the running of my paper
and knock me out of business. My friend,
let me tell you something; one man is just a
drop of water In the ocean. You didn't set
the machinery of this world in motion, aud
you can't stop it; and when you are under
meath the ground things upon the surface
will wag on Just the same as ever"

The trouble made By the black ballots cast in
New Haven last November has caused q number
OF bills to be introduced into the Connecticut
Legislature prescribing the kind OF ballots to be
used il future. One measure proposes that the
ballots Of all parties shall be printed and fur
nished by the State. Another bill provides that
the blank tickets shall be furnished By the Town
Clerks, and that each party do its own printing.
Massachusetts, has perhaps the most sensible law
on the subject. 1t provides for ballots OF q uni
form size and style of type, but distinctly allows
the counting of any ballot that shall be cast
whether 1t conforms TO the prescribed form and
style or not. The penalties for violation of the
law are confined to the person who shall print oil
the person who shall peddle ballots which art
contrary TO the legal FORM

THE STEEL MAIDEN.
Instruments of Torture TO be Seen In an
Old German Village.

Oiu Oerman NbIhSe.
In a town in Nuremberg is q loom where
there are preserved g number of very curl
Gus instruments of torture used in Nurem-
berg hundreds of years ago. before the days
of Jails and Penitentiaries. There are thumb
screws of the most approved patterns,
and helmets for gossiping men and women.
A singularly cheerful piece of furniture is a
large, heavy wheel, on one side of which
stands out large, sharp piece of iron. In
the glorious days of old an offender who
had to be punished with the wheel was
stripped naked and firmly bound to plank,
face downward. The piece of iron ON the
wheel was heated hot, and the wheel was
rolled up and down and across the victims
back till justice was satisfied or the victim
was dead. Inasmuch as the spike was long
enough to go half way through the mans
body, and was always heated red hot, the
victim generally died and justice was en-
tirely satisfied. 1t was not as expeditions
as the guillotine, but it was just as certain.
The only man that ever survived it was ad
Judged q magician because he survived it,
and was promptly beheaded for being ma
gican. That settled him. He didn't bother
Nuremberg any more.
There are also displayed switches made of
fine threads of steel, which were laid on the
back with great effect A little of these
things goes grea. way, but on being told

a large assortment of horrors before
you come to the chief one, as a sort of
preparation. There are stocks of all kinds,
gags for tattlers handouts. anklets and era
del, the bed Of which is filed with spikes,
in which old-time offenders were faithfully
rocked to sleep-a sleep from which there
was no awakening. There are long tables
with screws at top and bottom, to which
men were strapped by the hands and feet,
the screws being turned until the un!ortu-
nate man was torn apart. In those cheerful
days, when a merchant, baker, or butcher
was found selling his goods by false weight
or measure, he was placed in cage and car
ried all through the city, with his name and
trade fastened conspicuously in front. After
making the grand tour, he was taken, cage
and all, to the river, and ducked again and
again, till it was thought that his lesson
was sufficient to prevent repetition. Per-
haps some such form might be advantageous
in these days.
Wife heaters in those times were severely
punished. They were furnished with close
fitting helmets, from which heavy weights
were suspended. They were given con-

whipping post be replanted in all places
where it has been torn up by the triumph OF
