Parrots are queer creatures, and,

South American bird had unfortunately
learned on ship-board the habit Of pro-

ashamed of the creatures profanity,
undertook a cure by dousing it with
water at each otfensc. Polly evidently

A Black Eye fol the Prohibitory Law

Last week the Supreme Court rem
dered a decision. in the case of 1.-The
State of Kansas rs. S. N. Gleason an
appeal from Allen county, of paramount
importance in its bearing upon the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law. The
Topeka Journal. i'll speaking of this de-
cisiOn. says: 1T has been the practice
in most of the counties of Kansas for
the county attorney to file information
against parties for selling intoxicating
liquors. and to verify the same with an
affidavit that he believes the facts stat
ed i'll the information to be true. This
is authorized by the law, but the SUI
preme Court in this decision decides
that such an affidavit does not justify
an arrest of the supposed offender. X =
The court, in brief, holds that no one
is competent to make such an affidavit
unless he is competent witness at the
trial. The days of Judicial usur-
patton and tyranny by corrupt attor-
neys, and the political judges, are num-
bered in Kansas" Now, the REFLEC-
TOR would ask the JanuS-faced sheets,
the Abilene Gazette and other papers of
its ilk, if they accuse Chief Justice
HORTON and his associates, i'll this de-
cision, with completely with the rum

How It Works.

All the controversy about whether
prohibition prohibits OF not ought to
disappear before the latest figures furE-
ished by Col. Carpenter, who collects
the internal revenue in the state of
Kansas. For the fiscal year ending
April Both, 1884, there were issued
2.640 retail liquor dealers stamps and
permits, 80 wholesale dealers stamps
and permits and 10 brewers stamps and
permits. making total of 1855, while
for the year ending April Both, 1888,
there were only 2,1S2 stamps and per-
mits issued. This is an increase of over
800 during the second year of prohibition
over the first year, and an increase of
over 100 per cent. over the last year of
license and local option.
Yet we are constantly hearing the
praises of prohibition sung as an effect
ual bar to the liquor traffic in Kansas.
Its only use is to afford a stepping stone
to temporary notOriety for a few people
who thrive by talking about and agita-
ting it.-LedrenlrOrth Standard.

Illinois Democracy.

The democracy of Illinois is united,
enthusiastic. brave and aggressive.
Last week at the democratic state con-
vention the democrats took long stride
towards success by nominating CARTER
HARRISON, of Chicago, for Governor.
CARTER will be elected, and if gallant
JOHN NJ. PALMER is nominated this
week for Vice-President by the national
convention Illinois be at once put into
the column of doubtful states. But
probably the most direct, unequivocal,
manly statement of the tariff question
which has yet been formulated by any
state is contained in the Illinois demo-
cratic platform. 1t is that for which
they are to be specially commended.
The country knows where the lion
hearted democracy Of Illinois stands,
and the position will give the national
delegation confidence and positive
quality of strength. Here is the tariff
plank of the Illinois democracy:
That as declared by the national dem
Ocratic convention of 1876, we insist
that reform is necessary in the sum and
modes of federal taxation, to the end
that capital may be set free from dis
trust and labor lightly burdened. We
denornce the high protective tariff
maintained for more than twenty years
by the republican party, subsequently
as it now exists. and which is levied
upon nearly 1000 articles as amaster-
piece of injustice, inequality and false
pretenSe. 1t has impoverished many
Industries to substitute few, it prOhib-
its imports that might purchase the
products of American labor; it has de-
graded American commerce from the
best to an inferior rank upon the high
seas: it has cut down the sales of Amer
icon manufacturers at home and abroad
and depleted the returns of American
manufacture and industry, followed by
half our people; it costs the people five
times more than it produces to the treas
ury, it ObStructS the processes of pro-
duction and wastes the fruits of labor:
it promotes fraud, fosters smuggling,
enriches dishonest officials and bank
rupts honest merchants. We demand
that all custom house taxation shall be
only for revenue, and thus demanding
the delegates from this state to the
democratic national convention to be
held at Chicago the coming week are
hereby instructed to vote as unit and
use their utmost endeavOrS III favor of
tariff for revenue only.

Why Not?

FORT SMITH, Ark. July 3d.-The
President has granted an unconditional
pardon to Mott Music and communication
of sentence to Fanny EchOles, both to
have been hung here on the 18th of
July.
Does not the above afford the prohi-
bition-republican papers of Kansas, of
the type of the Topeka Capital and the
Abilene Gazette. a fine opportunity for
their peculiar province of criticism?
President ARTHUR, it will be seen,
has been guilty of the very enOrmity,
namely. the exercise of the pardOning
power. for which they have so bitterly
denounced Gov. CLICK. Should not
these eminently moral(?) sheets, that
just now feel called upon to do some
thing to show that they have some lin
gering interest in prohibition, include
President ARTHUR in their next TRADE
against the Executive of Kansas?
If the President Of the United States
can save hardened criminals from the
gallOwS, the Governor of Kansas surely
may, occasionally, interpose the pardon
ing power for the relief of the victims
of the manifest tyranny of, the ''pOliti-
cal judges Of Kansas Topeka jour

The Candidate and the Issue.

Hon. SOLON o. TEACHER has with
drawn from the gubernatOrial canvass
and leaves JOHN y. MARTIN in sole pos
session of the field
Nh. TEACHER withdraws because he
sees the utter impossibility of his NOM
ination, but he withdraws with the firm
determination to have prohibition put
into the state platform. He will fOrego
the pleasure and honor of being Cover
nor of this prosperous Commonwealth,
but he will not allow the state platform
to ignore prohibition. On that point lie
and his friends are determined, and on
that rock they and the republican party
may yet split.
Mr.. MARTIN is sure of securing the
nomination. lie will be the republican
candidate for Governor, but he will
stand upon a strong prohibition plat
form declaring against the resubmissiOn
of the prohibitory amendment, and this
issue will be of paramount Importance.
behind which the candidate will be lost
sight of.
Prohibition will again be disturbing
factor in state politics, and the question
will be voted on without regard to party
lines.
Mr.. MARTIN will deny to the people
the right of self-gOvernment: he will
come before the people as the enemy OF
personal liberty, denying the voters
manhood and his unquestiOned free
moral agency. lie will presume to die
tate the action of a large majority of the
state.
Gsv. CLICK will stand upon the
ground that the people of Kansas can
be safely relied upon to govern them
selves; he will recognize that large
majority of the voters of the state de-
mand the resubmiSSiOn of an obnoxious
constitutional amendment, and lie will
favor resubmission because, as citizen
of this Republic, he knows that the car
dinal principle of our government is
that the government shall rule. He
will be influenced by the wishes of the
majority, and will not presume to die
tate policy to them.
The two candidates will represent the
two foregoing ideas. Political feeling
has no part in this matter, or at least
should have none. For whom will you
vote? Which position is in accord with
the constitution of the United States?
Which position appeals to your judg-
ment with the greater force?"
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1884-07-10

The bung-hOle Gazette week before
last i'll a question prOpOunded wanted
to know whether 1.-The mayor and mar
shall of Abilene, or the county attorney
or sheriff, or any one of them are
making any effort to suppress the sd
looms i'll Abilene?" And then i'll its
issue of last week gave the following
answer:
WHISKY is again sold openly in sew
eral saloons and it is said by one drug
store. in this city. There is at pres
ent no visible effort Oh the part of the
proper officers, city or county, to enforce
the law of the state, or the ordinance of
the city. The end will come, as sure
as fate.
The above coming from prohibition
paper is a big acknowledgement, 1. e.,
that prohibition does not prohibit. But
his No. ~ question was made visible
last Monday by a strong effort to bring
to justice the whisky men, and when
the city attorney called upon the mar
shall for witnesses, he was, i'll big
sense, refused. and some of those who
were SubpGnaed abused and berated the
attorney in very umbecoming manner.
For what? For the reason that he was
doing his duty, and in doing it some of
those who are continually bowling pro-
hibition and some who advocate it in
their paper were caught in the subpoena
trap" From true stand point
in the premises Mr.. Seeds did his duty
to letter, regardless of party ties or
friendship. and the REFLECTOR but
speaks the sentiments of the best think
ing people of this community when it
says Mr.. Seeds is doing all he can, to
the very best of his ability, to enforce
the law. But how can he do it without
the solid backing of the council and
marshal? In fact, how can he accom-
pliSh anything when his hands are tied
by these same men, advocating prohi-
bition principles, in refusing to give
him their aid and testimony, and then
60 about the streets abusing him and
growing, snarling and fOaming at the
mouth because they were subpGnaed to
give testimony in behalf of enforcing
the law. Let prohibitionists do more
acting through principle than policy and
less fault-fnding, and when they do
this then the people will give them their
respect and confidence. The way things
are now and the way this whisky bust
ness is being managed, not only in Alb
ilene but in all parts of the state, is it
any wonder that the people are de-
nouncing the prohibition law as fraud
and are loudly and earnestly calling fer
a resubmission of the amendment!
