Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1884-06-26

THE true inwardness of the Republi-
can platform adopted by the Chicago
Convention is coming to light. John
Sherman in his place in the Senate
Monday, denounced it as not
binding on him; that it was crudely
framed, in four hours, by forty-two men
who never saw each other before, but
were brought together for the purpose
of forming platform. The character
of the times we are passing through, he
thought, justified him in calling halt
in Government extravaganza, as no
man could tell where we were going to
land.
Grandma Fouke, will you rise and
explaine how John Sherman, or any
other man, can consistently support the
Republican nominees and entertain
such views Of the platform? s

BITION PARTY IN KANSAS.

Editor of the Lawrence Journal.
Some notes in the Kansas CITY
Times. and anxious inquiries from
some friends of temper ance, lead me
TO declare my most hearty endorse
ment of the of the recent Republican
state convention on prohibition.
have no sympathy with any movement
toward organizing distinct party
in this state at this time. | do
not believe that there exists any occa-
sion for such party here, and more.
the organizing of such party in
the face of all the facts i'm the present
attitude of our state politics, APP
pears to me the extreme OF folly. Sa-
gacions opponents of prohibition
would be delighted with this new par
ty move. Liquor dealers could well
afford TO pay the expenses of any side
show that would defeat the Repnbli-
can state ticket now ia nomination.
Between an ultra anij-probibition aud
an equally ultra prohibition party.
they hope 10 get up sham battle in
the smoke of which to seize another
Democratic victory in Kansas. This
would mean a renewed lease of life to
the saloon power. The reckless waste
of political energy that sacrifices COM
mon sense while il praics of principle,
smacks more of personal ambition
than true patriotism. Let trur-heart-
ed prohibiiionists beware OF these side
shows. JAMES MARVIN.

FACTS FOR THE FARM.

Hungarian mra-s and millet make eX-
ccllent hay for all classes of stock. but
such crops should he cut before they
seed, for the reason that the seed Is
pot only difficult OF digestion but also
unnecessarily deprives the soil of fer,
cility.
After receiving n colony of bees at
your home place don't attempt imme-
~ to handle. Give them about half II
pint Of syrup Sugar or honey and
leave them an hour or two To scttld
down. Bees after Journey have
their fighting paint on very frequent
ly. The best way to get friends with
them is to troa; them like Christians
and give them something 10 eat.
A Texas exchange warns Shepherds
against running too many sheep in
one flock; for the reason that both in
Australia and South America il has
been tried and proven that over 5000
10 5000 sheep cannot be run with sue
cess in ovr pastures except during the
winter months.
Market gardeners fini the CROWN.
of small cucumbers for pickles one Of
their most valuable crops. In most
farm neighborhoods a patch of cucum-
bers for pickles will find a market
farmers al better prices than
the market gardeners obtain at whole
sale for their crop.
OF nitrogen clover hay removes
from the soil about forty pounds per
ton, and estimating two tons In the
acre this is equal to eighty pounds. As
the roots are said to be as rich in nj
trogenous matter as the stems and
leaxes. the value of blowing in clo-
yer sod is equivalent 10 the appiira-
ton of eighty pounds Of pure nitro

THE TWO CONVENTIONS.

Two political state conventions will
meet nj Topeka to-day. One of these
conventions was called by Democratic
authority, and openly, and the other
was called nj the secret instigation of
the Democratic party. The original
intention was that both should en-
dorse the same ticket. The proba-
bilities are that the original intention
will bc carried out. The original call
of the non.rel-iusc set forth that
none but Republicans. and none but
such n were in no way connected with
the liquor traffic should be elected.
The result is that very large per
cent if not the majority of the conven-
ton is made tip of lie long Democrats
and of men directly interested in the
liquor traffic. Fusion therefore will
be the rational outcome. But il will
be no fusion in fact Ii is one and
the same party in two conycn-
lions pla, in. fusion. The original
intention was 10 commence by nomi-
mating Click and then endorsing two
Of the Republican nominees, namely.
Bradford who wrote the letter taking
ST. John down, and McCabe, the col
cred man. George Martin, the high
old kicker of Junction City, who is
only good Republican so long as he
can hold Office, is Ia be put on in DIR.
Aliens place. That's the way Click
and his stool pigeons had it arranged
originally. Whether this game of
throwing dust in the ewes of the pco-
pie will be carried out or not is not
known outside ot the whisky ring,
but the probabilities are that it will.
The disposition lately shown by the
Republican party 10 settle the question
of prohibition within the party has
ratified the whiskyites not little, and
the fact that some counties elected re-
submission Republicans as delegates.
with instructions TO do nothing against
the regularly nominated Republican
ticket, has raised doubts, but Click
will at least be nominated for second
term. who will learn in. November that
this is not the year for eleciing Dem
ocratic governor of Kansas.

REPUDIATES 1T.

L.. Il. Jones, of Cheney, was elected
by the ss-called resubmission Repub-
licaa mass convention held i'm this city
last Saturday, as an alternate To the
resubmission Republican convention
which meets to-day in Topeka, utter
ly repudiates the whole concern. de-
claring that they had no authority TO
use his name and that he will not act
Jones, being a Republican who thinks
more of his principles that he does of
any one issue, don't propose. we sup
pose. 10 appear in Topeka as enc
among the enemies of his party. The
whole so-called resuhmission eonyen-
ton is simply in the interest of the
Democratic party, in the interest of u
fusion ticket, and the convention will
he largely made up OF Democrats.
This announcement of Mr.. Jones
leaves but two men on the delegation
from Sedgwick county who even make
any prctense that they viii vote the
Republican ticket.

THE SUPREME COURT OF KANSAS.

The Christian Home. published in
New York City, and the organ of
prohibition in that state, in comment
ing on an editorial which appeared
in the EAGLE touching the ,lecis-
ion Of the supreme court, made
just prior To the late state convention,
gives a fun history and its views of
the case, as follows:
The highest judicial tribunal of the
prohibition state of Kansas. has re.
Gently been subjecting itself to quite
severe criticism. (which we are sorry
TO be compelled to believe are not
wholly unjust), by sommersaults in its
decisions under the enforcement act to
the constitutional amendment prohib-
i'ing tho manufacturing and selling Of
intoxicating liquors. The stringency
with which, by former decisions, it
has sustained the law. has greatly de-
Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1884-1886, 1884-08-20

eliminated the ranks of onposers as
well as augmented the temperance
and prohibition forces.
The loss of the governor, and the
strengthening of the Democratic
party thereby, it is alleged,
has resulted in the supreme court
weakening. A session law Of 1871 and
the proibltOry law provides that a
man may be arrested ON the affidavit
of the county attorney or other party
based upon mere belief, and not actual
knowledge. The county attorney of
Saline county was ousted from office
bv the supreme court for not CnfOrc-
ing the prohibition law in accordance
with its provisions: one of which was
TO file information, and cause arrests
on mere belief. Gov. Click has re-
Gently iutcrposcd executive clemency
in several cases. where il was shown
that the law was so rigidly enforced
that Justice was thwarted, and the
rights of parties wholly ignored. An
important election is coming on the
anti-prohibition element OF the Re-
publican party must be catered to, or
power may again be snatched by the
comes before the supreme court from
Allen county on error, where one
Gleason was found guilty of selling
intoxicating liquor in violation of law.
The complaint was made by the cOun-
ty attorney upon his information and
belief. Now, that august body holds:
that the sections of the session law of
1871, and the prohibitOry law upon
which this practice is founded, is in
contravcntion of the bill of rights in
the constitution, which provides that
no warrant shall issue except on prob
able cause, supported by oath or affir-
nation. This, of course, will result
in the dismissal of the major portion
of the liquor cases on the dockets in
the courts of the seventy-five or eighty
counties of the state.
Perhaps the softest word expression
of Impotence we can use concerning
these Kansas solons O. would be that
they seem to be in the same predica-
ment of the fellow in Mother Goose's
Melodies.
"Who was So wondrOus wise
He jumped into u brambie bush, and
scratched out both his eyes.
And when he found his eyes were out,
with all his might and main,
He jump ed into another bush to scratch
them in again."
But if we wished TO deal in irony,
we would perhaps adopt the language
of our friend Murdoch of the Wichita
EAGLE, who says: 1--WE have often
thought that the average supreme
court is the most reliable weather
Il. H,,t

PROSPEROUS KANSAS.

The glorious accounts received from
Kansas, and the stories told by every
traveller through the state Of the won
derful crops harvested and to be gar
nercd, have verification when il
ONES to the official figures, which GO
To show that exaggcration may do
its best but can scarcely equal the
facts.
Kansas never knew such a season
as the present, which has filled her
granaries, and will fill up cribs with
corn along the full length OF her many
miles of railroad. The wheat crop
this season is the largest and best ever
harvested
The area srrtlr to winter wheat
was 2,l5l ,sjS trres, and the average
yield per acre has been twenty-five
bushels. This gives a total yield of
Il ,3il ,O96 bushels, and when it comes
to adding the spring wheat 70 the
winter crop, the aggregate approxi-
mates nearly j0,00J,OOO bushels of
wheat ihat Kansas has now harvested
and ready for the worlds consump-
ton.
The late rains have assured good
and uuequalei crop, and estimating it
at forty bushels per acre only, the
i,5D,90S acres planted in corn will
yield crop of over 1S0,0O0,0OO BUSH
els. The oat crop is estimated % 49,
900 bushels, and rye at G, 535 900 BUSH
els.
These figures put Kansas in the front
rank of the great agricultural states
of the union, and fairly and squarely
invite the immigration to the state
that is fast taking up every piece of
available land.
Kansas is prosperous, fairly BOOM
ing in every respect.-K. &. journal.
