nor for that matter, In the United States,
entertains for single moment the be-
lief that st. john can be elected to the
office Of president, aud every ballot cast
for him Is like shooting in the air.
rs far as any practical results
favorable to the cause OF
temperance is regarded The movement
will simply result in reducing to
greater OF less extent the majority of
Blaine and Logan IN Kansas. and In Civ
ing aid and comfort to the Democratic
party. The attitude of the two great po-
litical organizations in relation TO the
question OF temperance reform Is suifi-
cIently understood by the people to Indi-
cate the gross fallacy of any step on the
part oi the ProhibitiOnIsis which would
entrust their cause to the DemOc-
racy, which has declared in
its national and state platforms
against even a restriction of the liquor
traffic, and which stands confessed as
the friend and advocate of free liquor
The Republican party In Kansas,
Maine, Iowa, Ohio and in every state
where any substantial work has been
accomplished in fighting the rum ele-
ment, has been the medium of power
through which all reform in this direc-
ton has been effected, and any move
ment which seeks ~ displace that or
ganizatiOn from power and com.
init the reins of government to
the Democracy is worse than folly.
In view of the life long devotion of
Mr. Blaine to the temperance cause, as
compared with the personal record Of the
Democratic candidate for president and
the course of his party in connection
with this question, We ask the friends OF
prohibition in Kansas TO consider we'll

before casting their votes In November

BraIhard nails the Lie.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 3.-Sergeanls
Bralnard and Long and Private Connell,
of the Greedy Arctic expedition, are here
under engagement at Drew's museum.
They were shown to-day kilograms from
Washington stating that an army officer,
who has seen diaries of the expedition,
says that the SURVIVORS when found were
In two parties, one headed by Brain
ard and the other by Long,
living as separately as two tribes,
and refusing to speak to each other;
that Greedy was an invalid during the
last few months; and that his party was
headed by BraInard, who cared for HIM
like child; and that stealing retions
was q common practice; and that hunt
ers sent out for birds concealed them for
themselves. Each of these statements
Brainard, Long and Connell deny
emphalically. Ali INSIST that the
party was not divided, but
while five slept in wall
tent Brainard and Long slept together
under the fly of the tent because the in
terror was not large enough for all. Ser
geant Brainard says that Lieutenant
Greedy walked out every day and was
able and competent to command the
party, which be did throughout. All
agree that nobody was shot except
Henry. A special report tp0m

HOW 1T OPERATES.

A correspondent OF the New York Star
wants 70 know II too much importance
Is not attached TO Governor CIeYelsnd's
veto Of the Scent railroad bill, and II It
ls not 8 fact that the working men travel
on the elevated roads morning and even
ing for five cents.
The editor reminds his correspond
ent that Cleveland was nominated for
governor on an explicit ann-monopoly
platform, which declares among other
things that "all unjust discrimina-
Hon in the transportation OF
passengers and merchandise should be
prohibited. As 70 the claim that the
veto of the f1Ve-cent fare bill does not
operate to the disadvantage of the vast
body OF Wage-earuers In New York City,
the editor says:
Look ct the crowded horse cars any
time outside bt commission hours, and
the falsity of the claim is self-eVident,
Again, itsthe wOrkingmAn desires 70
take his wife and family for an airing on
Sundays or holidays, The double fare
multiplies against him. But alter al,
the Fundamental objection to the veto is
based, not on its effect, but on alarm
ing and resctiOnATy arguments
formulated by the governor in defense
OF it. The constitution OF the state OF
New York expressly declares az q condi-
ton precedent of the formation OF corpor-
atoms, that the charter of every corpora
ton shall be held subject to Alteration
from time 70 time or repeal by the law
making power; and the court of appeals
of the state OF New York and the su-
pFeme court of the United States have
affirmed The right of the IaH-makiDg
power u So alter or repeal. This essen
tial stipulation the governors veto com
pletelY ignores.
"Afler an exhaustive examination of
the history and earnings of the various
companies now consolidated, Railroad
Commissioners O'Donnell found that
that their net income exceeded ten per
cent. of the capital actually expended in
their construction, and he adds in his
report:
b" The elevated railroads are not chartered
or operated under the general railroad act
OF 1SSO, but under special charters. Under
legislature has reserved It's sovereign right
tunder Article 8. Section !, OF the c0nstitu-
each and every one Of these charters There
Is no contract between the people Of the state
or the clty OF New York with either OF theEe
roads not to reduce the fare thereon
These roads are paying dividends on
$13. eco 600 of hctItiOus capital; yet the
governor went out OF his way TO defend
them, and announced the monstrOus dog

The OkIaho,na Matter

WASHINGTON, ID. g.. Sept. al. a.
Smith, counsel for Z s nc and the Okla
hOma invaders today Tiled II document
addressed TO Attorney g neral Brewster
at the dep4rLm" of justice, calling at
tenlion TO She act OF congress, approved
January 6t',, 1888, which, it's claimed
has been overlooked or defied in pro.
ccedIDg against Payne and his associates.
The ACT provides for holding terms of
United States court at Wichita, Kansas,
and It is c"n'ended by counsel for Payne
that the judiciSl authority of that court
extends over the territory which Payne
invaded. The document claims that
Payne should have been srraig1ed at
Wichita. 1t also sets forth that Payne
and his followers are anxious for speedy
trial, but that they are held as prisoners
and deprived of the privileges of habeas
corpus in the interest of q rich cattle
corporation whose interest they have
threatened by attempting to settle the
territory. The attorney general is urged
to direct his subOrdinates to see that
these men have all the legal rights to
which they are entitled. A letter re-
ceived here from Payne says himself and
associates are kept in the Cherokee
country across the river from Fort Smith
to prevent the possibility of habeas cor
pus. He says they could have reached
Fort Smith by rail in one day, but that
would have taken them through the
judicial territory, wherein they could
have appealed for writs of habeas corpus,
and il was the intention of the authori-
ties TO deny them any such privilege.
