INGALLS, TO TIE FRONT


The recent remarks of Senator Ingalls,
IN memory OF Ben Hill have been pounc.
ed upon by New York paper called
the Baptist Weekly, and the senator de-
nOunced as an infidel and a heather.
Somebody sent Ingalls, copy of the ar
ticle. and he replied to it as follows:
SIR:-I have received . marked COPY
OF the Baptist Weekly of February 8,
which you were good enough to send
me. In my tribute u the memory of
Senator Hill, whom honored as a man
and loved as friend, presented those
reflections which rise in thoughtful
minds when meditating upon the i'm
penetrable mystery which wells the fu-
ture state of man from all except the cd
itors of the Baptist Weekly. l suggest

AROUT pROHLRLTION

The Topeka Commonwealth, which
seems possessed of f.vrrlsh anxiety to
have the prohibiioIy liquor amendment
re-submItted to a vote nl the people, has
gone to the pains ~ send out circulars
to one hundred gentlemen residing in
various parts Of the state with view
u ascertaining the statns OF prohibition,
and to what fxtent it has proved sue
cesSful IN iIs practical results. The re-
plies in number of instances, show
that the traffic has been virtually sup
pressed, aud we regard il safe to say
that it in ali cases the number
of places reported where intoxi-
canis can he purchased is
much less than under the system which
prevailed prior t. the passage of the
prohibitpry amendment The party
writing to the CommOnw wealth from En-
poria, says there are two down-cellar
saloons here, which is certainly vast
improvement over eleven GIN mills run
ming without let or hindrance in the
most accessible business rooms in the
town. The experiment of prohibition
has proved substantially successful in
EmpOria, as we'll as in scores of other
towns in the state. and The
bitter hostility OF the liquor in
terest 10 this means of sup
pressing the rum traffic furnishes the
most convincing evidence of its efficacy.
If, as is claimed by the nti-prohibition-
list, the temperance law of Kansas is a
dead letter on the stStuts books, and
that prohibition has tended TO increase
the consumption of malt and spirituous
beverages in the state, why are they so
deeply interested IN annuling a measure
which II is alleged by them has wrought
results directly antagonistic TO
those contemplated by the law This
sort Of logic will moi hang to-
geiher. II is the successful operation OF
prohibition that has aroused the fierce
opposition of the liquor interest snd its
supporters, aud no amount OF journaiis-
tic sophistry will blind the eyes of the
public 10 that fact.
The people OF IBIS state are heartily
in sympathy with the policy Of prohibit
ton, and il the Commonwealth snd
other papers which We might mention
would manifest the same zeal in slim
ulaIing q wholesome public sentiment
in favor of the proper enforcement Of the
organic and statutory law of the state as
they have shown IN relArd,ng this desir-
able end, the whiskyites would suffer
the loss OF LheiF strongest and most in
defa;igable allies.
