DEAR HERALB:-The following is q speci-
men of the kind of prayers that are made
BY the Democratic Reform Chaplain OF the
House. for the Republican side ofthe House.
During the war the gentleman of black
cloth aud white neck tie making this PRAYER
had not much love for the Union or the
: Boys in Blue" He then resided in
Maryland, aud for his disloyal and rebe.
utterances was arrested and given quarters
in Fort Lafayette. But now that the war is
over and the Democratic party ip power.
and he made the Chaplain of the House OF
Hepresen atises of Pennsylvania, he must
pray in accordance with their wishes and
sentiments. Such a prayer is ~blasphemous
To God, disgraceiul to Christianity, and an
insult to the Christian people of the Com
monweaith. The clergy of this city had TO
be passed by, aad this reverend gentleman
brought from Lebanon he is a man OF dirty
hands, il not of evil heart. The members
will not stand another such prayer. without
resenting IL on the floor of the House. Tie
Republicans are ~unaninious in their con-
demnation, and all the honest and better
thinking Democrats condemn aud disap-
prove IL. | wish the Independent Republi-
ca'is oil the State. aud especially those of
four countv couid be here and witness the

EDITOR HERALD.
Dear Sir:-In your issue of January .
1883, / notice the statement by you that
Prohibition is not working well in Kansas
granted during the first year of prohibition
than the year preceding it.
1t is boldly asserted that there is more
liquor drank, made and sold in Kansas than
before the amendment was adopted. This
assertion is not only without proof. but
utterly at variance with indispu able facts.
Ex-Governor Robinson stated in a speech
at Topeka, that from the best information
be could get there were more government
permits to sell liquor issued this year than
two years ago. What are the facts? Simply
these: IN 1850 there were in the state, be-
sides many unlicensed places. 1882 licensed
dram shops, 80 breweries, 80 wholesale
liquor establishments and two distilleries,
making a total of not less than two thousand
places where liquor was made and sold.
To-day there is not Il distillery nor a whole
sale liquor house in the State, and there are
only eight or nine breweries. R.. O.. Dunn
4 Co., Of Chicago, who have had their
advertising agents all through the State,
report that there are $50 places where liquor
is sold in Kansas. These are all their
detectives have been able to find. after the
closest scrutiny.
The Collector of Internal Revenue says
there were issued from May LIST to June 10Th
l. s., THE commencement of the government
tax year., las retail permits To sell liquors
400 of these were taken out by druggists,
authorized 10 sell for the excepted pur poses.
This would cave 74s permits for saloon
purposes. But a large number of these
have since been surrendered, because they
have been found to be practically worthless.
owing To the enforcement of the law. We
do not believe five hundred places can be
found in the State where liqnor is openly
sold in violation Of the law. This would be
a reduction of nearly t~hree-fourths of the
drink trade in Kansas.
Rev. A. NJ. RICHARDSON.
IaWEtntt, htn>ds, NOV. IL. lSo--
The above facts are given by a resident OF
Kansas, and whose integrity, to the best OF
my knowledge, has never been disputed
The assertion that more permits to sell
liquor are granted under prohibition than
under the license law. proves too much.
If the statement we're true, then the highest
wisdom in the liquor fraternity would be to
work for prohibition. For them to oppose
a measure that increases their gain, would
be consummate folly. Now Mr.. Editor. will
You please publish the above in justice to
all concerned, and oblige. yours truly.
A. S. ~BArMsARDSER.
Like many other good men our Reverend
friend has permitted his zeal tn ourrun his
discretion, aud he does us a grave wrong.
aud one calculated to create an injurious
impression. in the assertion Il notice the
statement by you that prohibition is not
working well in Kansas True, we made
the statement. but we gave Gov Click as
our authority for the statistics which our
friend undertakes 10 contradict. and in
emitting that fact he make us res poilsible
FIR matters of which We have no personal
knowledge. We append this note to his
communication in justice TO all con-
cerned."-ED1
