LEAvENwoRTH, Ks, Mach .a-The
decision of the state supreme court GUST
ing John Foster; attorney for Saline
county, for refusing to attempt the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law causes
much depression here among the liquor,
brewing and vinegar interests. The in
evitab.e result will be proceedings against
the attorneys of Leavenworth, Atchison
aud Wyandotte counties, as they have
moved very reluctantly towards prosecu'
tions, and are understood to be opposed
to the enforcement of the prohibitory
law. This is REGARDED as the strongest
movement yet made towards the subJec-
ton of nti-prohibitory stronghold.

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1884-03-10
The Logic OF the situation.

The republican party has made up its mind
to defeat tho democratic party once more. To
that end it will not permit anybody to divide
tho republican household against itself 1t
will not tolerate the revival of old fractional
lines nor will it listen with patience to cries
that this man cannot carry Ohio and that
man cannot carry New York, when they are
evidently nero pretenses to cloak rival
ambitions which, in the present temper of
republicans, will not DO allowed to stand in
the way of any obviously wise and strong
nomination. The republican party is, fur
thermore, in no mood to be unduly terrorized
by threats of thirdparty movements. 1t will
listen with respect to the suggestions and
wishes of all honestly independent voters.
But the independence that is merely another
name for unreasonable prejudice will not, In
its present state Of feeling, be allowed to die
tate its action. The really Independent vote,
tn vote of tho intelligent masses who are
not violent partisans is already assured to
the republican candidate, whoever he may be.
The logic Of the situation insures this in ad-
vance of the nomination.

ANOTHER BOURBON BLUNDER.
senator Norton's Vigorous Protest Agains;
the Proposed Change i'm the Govern
ment OF Colored Schools In Virginia.

tho proposed Change IN the Govern
ment OF CoIored Schools In Virginia.
RICHMOND, March 9.---The senate was the
scene of an interesting debate yesterday on
the subject of q separate system of school
government for negroes and whites. The DEM
| ocratic platform pledged that there should be
negro trustees for negro schools and white
trustees for white schools. The bill before
the senate is q slight modification Of that
proposition, but fully compasses the ends
sought to be accomplished by the democratic
| extremists. 1t provides that the trustees OF
| all schools shall be white, but that negro di-
rectors shall be appointed for the negro
schools, whose duty it shall be to visit those
! schools, recommend teachers for them and
| perform all the functions of trustees, except
| that they shall have no control of the school
funds. That privilege shall be exclusively
exercised by the white trustees. AS a matter
| of course negro teachers for negroes follows,
which makes the system of negro control
complete
| The features of the debate however, was
the speech of Senator Norton, colored who
made vigorous aud earnest protest against
this change as negro. He made marked
impression on the senate, and his speech was
| listened to with profound interest by all who
hoard him. Senator Norton said;
| "Mr. President of all the legislation since
we met here last fall know OF no bill in

A LOOK AHEAD.
The Measures TO be Considered by Con-
Bress This Week.

Btobb tNtchs
In the house of representatives to-day,
after the usual call of states for the introduc.
ton of bills, the committee on the District OF
Columbia will be entitled to the floor. The
committee, however, has no bills of general
Importance ready for action. The considera-
tion of the postoffice appropriation bill will
then probably be continued. Mr.. Morrison
intends to-day to report from the ways and
means committee the tariff bill argued upon
by tho majority and members Of the appro-
priaton committee expect to report tho In
dian appropriation bill, Tho measure for tho
retirement and recoinage Of the trade dollar
has been made special order in tho house
for tomorrow, and the committee on Pacific
railroads has leave to call up from tho calen-
dar on Wednesday any bills that may then
have been perfected by the committee relat-
ing to the Thurman sinking fund act. or to
amounts due from Pacific railroads for sur
voying and patenting lands.
The bill to remove certain burdens on the
American merchant marine and to encourage
the American foreign carrying trade has been
made the special order for Thursday. All
the special orders are liable however, to be
pushed aside by the regular annual appro-
priation bills or revenue measures. The first
special order for the week in the senate Is
that of Tuesday, whom tho house hill to regu-
late practice in patent suits is entitled to con.
sideration.
The Fitz-John Porter bill aud Senator
Blair's bill to aid in the establishment and
temporary support of common schools are
both made special orders for 2 o'clock on
next Wednesday. The frst-named measure
will encounter strong opposition from Gen.
Logan and other republican senators.
1t Ia possible that Que or more of these
special orders will be set aside giving place
temporarily to the Mexican treaty, which
will be taken up on Monday, and the consid,
Grafton OF which 1t is intended shall continue
until final vote is reached.
