CLICKS CAME.


Web Wilder in Brown County World /:
The Democratic stumpers of Kansas
are making q canvass IN which they
never mention Cleveland's name or ma
tional Issues. What does it mean They
do not expect to elect Click for goYer-
nor, or any part of their state ticket, or
a single one OF their candidates for con-
gress. What then are they driving at
Why are they on the stump:
For one purpose only. To defeat,
wherever they can, Republican can
didates for the SeL ate and House I;
to elect Click United States sena-
tor. If possible; to make such laws
as they see fit on the temperance
question. Everything else has been
abandoned; all other candidates and
issues are abandoned. They talk
only OF personal libeIty"-these men
very until Republicans abolished il.
1t costs something to canvass a state.
Who pays the bills? The liquor dealers,
the distillers, the brewers, or other
states, through their national and state
societies and organizations. Lately
$4,000 were sent to Kansas by whisky
associations, and there was a Demo-
cratic dispute as to It's control; Click
wanted the money and the state commit
tee wanted it; Click obtained the lions
share. And that money is paying for
the Democratic meetings, and keeping
the speakers on their daily and nightly
rounds.
Shall this money elect our members Of
the legislature, or control our vote on
governor or on any question before the
people?
Let every honest, intelligent Republi
can bear these facts in mind. Ruffians
were once sent to Kansas to vote and tC
kill. Now they send money, blood
money, to buy. They cannot control the
large offices; they openly admit thai
Blaine will be elected; but they srt
looking to the legislature and to the
| United States senate.
The Kansas Republican casts no more
important vote this year than the one
that he gives for his regularly nomi
mated candidates for the legislature
That is the very point of the enemV's at
tack. Will you allow him to deceive, tC
bride, TO dupe you to accomplish hi
hidden treason? The facts are known
the plans are revealed, but work, eter-
nal vigilance is ever the price paid fo
freedom, human rights and liberty pro.
tected by law.

TOO MANY TRAM KREOKs

TOO MANY TRAIN WRECKS.
The attempt yesterday on the part OF
some miscreants to wreck the train on
which General Logan ana his party
were travelling to Peoria, either to graf
ifY Guiteau like political craze, or
more probably for purposes of plumber
will call increased attention to form of
crime that in the past few weeks has be-
come alarming in Its frequency. When
men for spite or avarIce will manifest so
reckless a disregard of human life as to
be willing to make 1t possible that hun
dreds of lives shall be hurried to horri-
BILE and unumely deaths, it shows de-
gree OF criminal depravity that one
would be glad TO think Is rare indeed {;
but when the telegraphic reports
from all parts of the country, chronicle
almost daily, more or less successful at
tempts at train wreckIng, 1t shows an
appalling evil for which it seems as
though no possible explanation can be
given except pure tiendishness.
Only last Friday there were three
cases oil train wrecking, only one OF
which resulted in any loss of life,
though all might have resulted in the
horrible manCling and death of many,
perhaps hundreds of passengers, and all
did result in the destruction of large
amounts of property. The recent das-
tardly attempt, in which trains on the A.
T. s. S. F. have so narrowly escap-
ed destruction, serves to impress
thought and apprehension on this sub
ject, and It is no wonder that the public
stands appalled, at the revelations of
such villAiny. No effort ought to be
spared to bring to justice the perpetra-
tors of such Outrages, and no punish
ment seems to severe for the authors Of
such villalny.

The Iowa ProhIbItiOn Law.

DUBUQUE, Oct. 24.-The state supreme
court to -day gave an.opInion on one of
the sections of the state prohibitory law
the effect of which is the justices of the
peacs have jurisdiction in certain cases
where the fine is 800 or less. A month
ago Judge Hays OF that district court at
Muscatine, decided on a question of ju-
risdictiOn, justice of the peace costs as
well as fine should be committed, and if
both were over 800 the case should go
out of justices to the district court. This
is regarded as an anti-prohibItorY decis-
ion. A day or two ago Judge Stutsman
of tie district court at Burlington, de-
cided contrary that the costs should be
counted, which was regarded as a pro-
hibitory decision. His decision the su-
preme court affirms; the decision is
unanimous, it holds costs in the case,
are NO part of punishment, but il is for
compensation to the officers for the en-
forcement OF the law.

Globe Democrat: At this stage of the
canvass four years ago, the Republicans
lacked considerable of being as we'll off
as they now are. They had lost Maine,
California was practically conceded to
the Democrats, and there was not the
remOtest prospect of breaking the solid
south. This year Maine has been car
ried, Ohio has done better than was ex-
ported, California is unquestIonably
safe, and the outlook in three or four of
the southern states is decidedly encour-
aging. The fight on Blame has been
infinitely more fierce and bitter than
that which was waged on Garfield, and
yet his chances of success are at present
manifestly brighter than Garfleld's were
al the corresponding date in 1880. If
the Republican party has suffered any
decrease of power or any slackening OF
organized skill and courage since 4,
elected the last president, certainly moth.
ing has occurred so far in the campaign
70 warrant a notion of that sort.

nights. He admitted his conduct had
been hasty, and said he was sorry for
what he had done. He also insisted
that he never intended doing the govern

he had received letter frem Gov. Cleve-
land IN which the governor stated he
had no desire To prosecute the prisoner
and recommending leniency. Boone
was then discharged. He, together with
