Prohibition on the Wane.

Prohibition in Kansas seems to be
losing its grip on the republican party,
and the "grand old party of principle
seems to be willing to let the pure and
the puritanical maiden go.
The small prohibition contingent,
consisting of y. B. CAMPBELL, ST.
JOHN, TEACHER and others has been
scattered by the anti-prOhibitiOnists
headed by JOHN \. MARTIN. The fire
was too hot for the small number of
prohibitionistS who have been running
the republican party for the past three
years and who enormously believed that
they were all there was of the republi-
can party.
CAMPBELL has resigned his position
as president of the State Temperance
Union: JAMES TROUTMAN, secretary OF
the union, has gone to Washington for a
six weeks stay; ST. JOHN will go to
New Mexico for a visit, and TEACHER
is no longer a candidate for governor.
This showing will be very sad one
to those simple souls who believe that
the republican party is the friend and
champion of prohibition. The republi-
can party is JOHN L. SULLIVAN, as
it were, and is engaged in knocking out
of time prohibitioniSts who presume to
dictate or even suggest the party s pol
Icy.
The odium of resisting the law is be
ing lifted very rapidly from off TIT
shoulders of democracy.

The national republican convention
meets at Chicago next Tuesday, and it
is probable that a presidential candidate
will be nominated ON Wednesday. The
republicans are very unfortunate in
their supply of prominent presidential
timber. They are hunting for man
without a record, and he is awfully
nard to find. Neither BLAINE nor AR
THUR can carry New York, and there
is vital objection to be found with all
other names mentioned in this connec-
ton. The ''grand old party has about
run its course, and its end draweth nigh.
On the other hand, all is sweet peace
and confidence in the democratic party.
The democrats see certain success in
the nomination of the ''old ticket" and
an end to the monopolistic and central
izing tendencies of the government.
The change will come none too soon,

The democratic state convention OF
New York has been called to meet at
Saratoga on the 18th of June. The
members of the state committee and
on-lookers alike were in favor OF I'LL
DEN. a committee man, who is very
friendly to Mr.. FLOWER, said: mir.
FLOWER has always said he would not
be candidate until Mr.. TILDEN de-
" clined. Mr.. TILDEN has not declined,
+" and Mr.. FEowER's friends are all his
" supporters. Mr.. CLEvELAND's cannot
% afford to be less loyal to Mr.. TILDEN

" that Mr.. FILDEN is the only candi-
date" Tammany Halls repreresent-
alive said that that organization had
no candidate for president except TIL
DEN. With this spirit Of unity among
New York democrats there can be no
such thing as defeat for the party this
fall.

JOHN a. ANDERSON is re-nOmlnated
for congress on a platform which favOrs
the retention of war tariff taxes. Can
the democrats of the district support
him on that platform? Mr.. ANDERSON
has made a good record in the House if
we may except that of last month, but
past good behavior can be no apology
for present wrong. Tariff reform isthe
one important issue that the people will
have to fight out, and Mr.. ANDERsoN's
platform is opposed to reduction of
tariff duties. Will the democrats OF
the district support this platform, or
will they nominate acandidate for con-
gress and make a fight for principle
and cheaper food and clothing?

WEST VIRGINIA.

The confidence, whether real or af-
fected, which the Republicans started in
on the West Virginia campaign, has
grown small by marked degrees and very
appreciably less until it has disappeared.
'It is merely a question of finance"
said Mr.. Elkins, a month or two ago., as
confidently as if so many cattle were to
be bought at so much a head and he had
the money in his pocket to pay the bills.
But Nh. Elkins is wiser now than he
was when he made that remark. He
has learned that it is not "a question of
finance" but a far more serious prob.
lem, and he has ceased to express any
confidence in the ability of his party to
carry the State.
Democratic dissensions gave the Re-
publicans great hopes. They filled their
papers with lurid descriptions of a fear
full conflict raging between two hostile
and implacable factions. Instead of
working together for the accomplishment
of a common purpose, the West Virginia
Democrats were represented as utilizing
all their strength in a family fight.
But all that was a delusion. There is
harmony in the Democratic party Of
West Virginia. All those who opposed
the nomination of Wilson for Governor
are giving him honest support. He is q
strong candidate and is drawing elements
of strength that were counted on by the
Republicans.
All the old Democratic leaders in the
State are working manfully, not because
they fear defeat. but to "make assur'
ance doubly sure and take a bond Of
fate" The Democratic solidity Of
the South is not going to be disturbed
this year. Mr.. Blaine must give up all
hope of an October gun from West
Virginia.

SCuuRZ,S INFLUENCE.

Carl Schurz's speeches in German and
English have been listened to by tre-
mendous audiences wherever he has
spoken in the great Northwest. They
have done much to make several States
doubtful, which have hitherto been Re
publican strongholds. His calm, logical
appeals have reached the hearts and
minds Of bipartisan citizens wherever
he has spoken. Millions are to-day
reading his speeches in every part OF the
United States. MI. Schurz is backed
by the Independent Organization, which
is not less active than either the Demo
Gratis or the Republicans. 1t is abund-
antly supplied with the sinews OF war,
which it is using to the discontinue OF
the Republican party at every available
point. The true story clearly told by
Mr.. Schurz, who is the leading speaker
on the stump, at present, in the cause OF
independence, is bringing thousands to a
clearer consideration of the popular in
terests. They are fiocking to the Cleve-
land and Hendricks standard individ-
ually and in organized bodies everywhere.
The greatest influence of Mr.. Schurz's
mastery orations is with the Germans,
but they are moving the minds of all
other Republicans to a degree never
known before. The tidal wave has set
in and no mistake.

Night before last negro man was
discovered In the private room OF one
Of the Miss Mergers. She gave the
alarm aud the fiend fled. The alarm
was Immediately given the police,
who summoned assistance and with
their trained dogs did everything to
arrest the man, but to no purpose.
During the day 1t was ascertained that
a negro answering the descrip.
ton Of the negro had gone on a
freight train north. The chief Of po.
lice at Atlanta was warned to look out
for the fugitive. On the arrival OF the
train at Atlanta the suspected was
found and arrested, and the authorities
heard OF the fact. Chief Adair and
one of his assistants went up to bring
him to the city, but by some misun-
Outstanding the prisoner was allowed
his liberty and skipped. Our people
are greatly excited over the matter.
A large crowd Of excited men were at
the depot in waiting for the train. and
had the negro been on the train there
is no telling what would have been
the consequences. The Miss Mengers
are highly respectable young ladies,
and being orphans live alone with no
male protection except some small
brothers.
