TIDAL WAVE COMING.
Tyler Star. at has been the de-
sire of the friends of the measure to
keep it out of politics, but it looks
to us as if its enemies are determin-
ed to force it into politics. AS "
prohibitionist, we desired to see the
amendment submitted and voted.
upon strictly as moral and not n
political measure, but as a Repub-
lican, we do not regret the status
of affairs. 1t VIII become the duty
of the Republican party of the
State, as the party of progress, OF
government Of the people, for the
people and by the people, in the
next campaign to declare in favor
of the submission of the amend
ment.
Liberal, temperance Democrats
can join us on common grounds
and assist in dethroning the ty-
rants who are ruling the people
of this State as with a rod of iron.
They are in the minority, but such
is the perfection of their organi-
cation that they, by trickery, con-
troll the whole State. Already
prominent men in the party are
declaring they will not submit ana,
many more are ready to join them
The tidal wave that swept over
this Congressional District last
fall will engulf the entire State
and happy will be the man who

THE WAY TO DO IT.

Virginia FREEMAN prints in large
type, and very prominently, on it's
first page, the names of the men
who voted for and against submit
ting to the people the question of u
revision of the Constitution, so us
to affect a prohibition of the liquor
traffic. We should think, from the
tone of the FREEMAN, that it en-
poets better things from the Legis-
lature next to be chosen. The
probabilities are that some men
who voted against the proposition,
especially in the Senate, will be re-
when the next election
day shall come. That is the way
to do it. A great trouble with
some of the best movements made
is that the people have such short

Point Pleasant Register, cit
would probably have been better
to have submitted this question to
the people, and gotten rid of it. As
it is, every session of the Legisla-
ture will be harrassed with this
question, until the Legislature
does submit it. Some seem to think
this will be the end of the agitation
of this question. We wish we could
think so. But the indications are
that the temperance or prohibi-
ton advocates will renew the fight
with more persistency than they
have ever done heretofore, and this
question of prohibition will en-
ter largely into the politics of this
State at the next election. The
people petitioned for the submits
sion of this question to them. The
Lower House had passed it by a
very decided vote, and the Senate
should have done the same thing.
Then it would have been voted
upon by the people and forever
settled by hem-either one way or
the other

very decided vote, and the Senate

Then it would have been voted

WE SHALL SEE.
Keyser Echo: "The question as
to the right and wrong of the
Amendment ought not to be taken
into consideration in this ma ter,
but simply the right of the people
to be heard in our Legislative
Halls. By this act of the Legisla-
ture, the people have been denied
the'right of petition which has al
ways been sacred and inalienable,
and by it the Bourbons have said
we propose to run this State with
out assistance from you.
We shall see what we shall see.
We shall see if the 10000 citi-
zens, of whom 10000 were voters
who asked to be allowed the privil-
eye of voting on the Prohibitory
Amendment Will quietly submit to
being deprived of the right of pc.
tition."
THE QUESTION WILL NOT REST HERE.
Hancock independents "The
question will not rest here, as the
people will never rest satisfied un-
til the Legislature shall authorize
a vote upon the proposition. 1t is
not simply the question of temper
ance, but beneath it lies the great
principle of the right of petition.
Eleven Senators must not arrogate
to themselves the prerogative of 81
lencing the voice of the people, or
claim that they know better what
the people want than fifteen other
Senators who are backed by 10000
respectful petitioners, upon the
subject. While Sena tor Scott, of
this district, may not have felt him
self bound by any party platform,
yet he was voted for in Hancock |
under tho impression that he would |
be friendly to the amendment.
Upon the abstract question of the
right Of petition, and the right of
the people to have vote upon all
such questions, we believe that not
only majority, but that three
fourths of the voters of this district
are in sentiment in favor of a sub
mission of the question.
WHERE ARE WE NOW.
Under the above caption we have
this from the Barbour Jefersonion :
at would be gratifying to the
friends of the Register in every sec
ton Of the State, no doubt, if, in
dealing with the question of prohi-
bition, it would rise above the hol-
low assertions in which it has been
INDUCING for the past few weeks to
the plane Of dignified and becom-
ing argument. 1t is important
that the Register should not forget
that is has friends to lose in the
country as well as within the cor
porate limits of Wheeling and Mar
tinsburg."

OVERLAND TO COLORADO.

From the Times Special Correspondent.
HUTCHIsoN, KAN, July II, 'S3.
With a match box for a writing
desk and under cottonwood tree
beside the far famed Arkansas river,
this letter is penciled. There is
nothing romantic about the spot, but
there is something Of a monotony in
the excessive heat of the sun and the
endless sandy plain that surrounds
US. We are very near the outskirts
OF tina. portion of Kansas that IS
tillabIe and yields renunerative
crops to the husbandman. With the
exception OF the country in Green
wood county known as the Flint
hills, ''the entire country from this
point to the eastern line of the state
is almost as thickly settled as old
Bates county. The general lmprov-
ments, of course, will. not equal
those back there, but the chief part
of the land is occupied and being inn
proved as rapidly as circumstances
will admit. Until we came within
twenty-five miles of the Arkansas
valley there were not a dozen fields
of wheat to be counted, but in this
valley there is as fine wheat as was
ever raised, and to all appearance,
plenty of 1t. Oats and corn COM
prise the rest of the crops and is
most excellent. New wheat is sell
ing at seventy cents per bushel and
old corn at thirty cents.
1t seems a little strange to us who
have hitherto cleaned our knowledge
of Kansas from what we heard and
not from actual observation, to wit
ness such splendid corn and wheat
and oats growing on these broad,
dry prairies From the information
Missourians usually get of Kansas
they are lead to infer that even this
part OF which We write is naught but
land OF starvation. Let me say
you are misinfsrmed, and add that
the Jayhawker state, thus far from
the eastern border, is great and
country. What impress
sions we may form Of Kansas further
west will be furnished In a subse-
quent letter.
Hutchinson is good town-judg
ing from our short acquaintance
and contains about twenty-five hum
dred souls. 1t is situated on the east
bank of ''Big River" as people call
the Arkansas out here, and is not
particularly noted for the beauty of
its streets or the stateliness of its
buildings. There are some very
large and we'll constructed meroan,
tile houses in Hutchinson, many of
tneth equailnS the average Butler es-
tablishment.
We have now been on the road
two weeks and our Journey is only
about one third accomplished. The
members of our party including your
correspondent, are in usual health
and imbued with an ah,,,donca of
spirit. We are not rushing through
as most travellers do, but take things
easy that we my have all the salts
faction there is in crossing the plains.
This is the end of our second let
ter. Our third will give the readers
of the TIMES our impressions of the
Country from here to the mountains.
