The present difficulty between
France and China has mainly grown
out of the ascendancy of the anti-ior-
eign party in the management of the
government. The head of this party
is Tso- Tsulg. who takes the place OF
Li-Hung, who negotiated the treaty
of peace with France and is one of
the ablest and most judicious of the
Chinese statesmen. The latter was
deposcd from power after he negoti-
ated the treaty and has since retired
to a province OF which ne is governor
His successor has shown considerable
skill in campaigns against Chinese
rebels, and emboldened by his services
In that capacity, is of the opinion
that he can successfully cope with the
French.

SoREnEAD FRIENDS AND THEIR
: DRINKS,

The uncertainty and apprehension
of three or four weeks ago have given
way, and the Republican party of
Kansas was never SO earnest as now,
nor ever more certain of sweeping
victory. In the place of the old hur-
rah Of years ago, and the detection of
two years ago, there is now a reso-
lutencss that brooks no foolishness,and
determination that means disappoint-
ment and disastrous defeat to all party
traitors. Leading spirits of the late
mutiny against the Republican party,
and the allies of Click, are no longer
being countenanced by honest Repub-
licans, who, for the sake of harmony,
and in hopes of winning these men
back into the true path OF principle,
had yielded anu consented until il
seemed almost that there were more
enemies than friends in the great
army of progress and freedom. Ha p
PLY this conservatism has given way
to significantly serious resolve upon
the part of the great body of the Re-
publicans of Kansas, resolve that
plainly says that further foolishness
and dilly-dallymg can result ia no
good, but, upon the other hand, must
cndanger all future triumphs of the
only POLITICAL principles for which Tho
party is worth saving. The great
body of the ex-Rcpnblican soldiers

A QUESTION NOT ANSWERED.

LYNDON. KAs.. August 18th, 1884.
To the Editor Of the Free Press:
Noticing that you are always ready to
answer questions, have one TO PROFOUND.
1t is this: Why would it not be q good
plan to resubmlt the prohibitory amend.
meDt to vote of the people. and by q full,
fair and intelligent vote forever settle the
question: 1 am neutrality-suspicious.
sionist and there are many such. do not
believe there is any way by which this
troublesome question can be settled except
by another vote and that is bound to come
sooner or later. Rs.
ANswER-A PIohibitionist can be
in favor of resubmission with perfect
consistency. 1t is hard to say what is
best TO be done. Men differ honestly
about it. Some men oppose resub-
mission, however, because they are in
favor of the law whether a majority
of the people favor it or not. Others
favor rcsubmission for an exactly con-
trary reason. These men are not fair
nor honest-ODe side more than the
other.
The facts about the adoption of the
amendment are thcse:-The prohib-
itory amendment was adopted in
1880.
The total Republican vote that year
was iSlso1'
The total Democratic vote was. SO, $50
The total GreeDback vote was. -. 1850
The total vote cast was ....... POI, 40
wear was g.. .'....... 92,Os5
Tie total vote against was. ...... 81, 800
against. .............. 4,sl2
The plurality for prohibition was. 1852
1t lacked 1860 votes of receiving
one half of the whole number OF votes
cast at that election. Now, these a.
812 voters may have voted ignorantly
or indifierently. If the latter, their
failure to vote against the amendment
would be legally construed in its favor
on the principle that "silence gives
consent" If, however. they voted in
ignorance Of the then pending ques-
ton, it would be hardly fair to con.
sirue their votes into a positive en-
dorsement of the law. But, even on
the theory that they did not under
stand it, and would have voted one
way or the other if they had, would
it not then be fair TO say that half OF
them would have voted one way and
half tho other? lu that event, the
plurality of 1852 votes would BIZ turn
ed into majority.
We do not answer Our correspon-
dents question. 1t would be only thu
opinion of one man anyhow. We
present the case and trust he will be
able to evolve the necessary comfort
from our statement of it.-Osage City

Cases i'm Which Suddenncs Has Car
ried the Day, Instances IN winch
women Have Taken the Initiative.

Sir Arthur Helps gave it as his be.
lief that since the world was created
no two couples made love after the
same fashion. And since lit takes
all sorts of people to make world
they may be fairly supposed to do
their counting in all sorts of ways
For instance, the counting of the abo-
ricinal of Australia consisted simply
in knocking The woman of his prefer
ence down with club and carrying
her of. This form of wooing was as
brief, and was certainly commendable
on the score of economy, since it sub
iected neither party to the expense OF
lights, fires, oyster suppers, ice cream
elaborate dresses, flowers, etc, which
are the usual concomitants OF civilized
love making. But the method of the
Australians has been tried by other
than The dusky savages.
Ii is a historical fact that William
the conquerer conducted his courtshlp
in a similar manner, Having fallen
in love with Flemish maiden he had
told her Of his preference, but recelv-
ed in return only scorn and indiiter-
ence. Becoming enraged at this he
one day attacked the damsel IN the
open street and pommeled her unmer-
cifully. The result was that she con
scented to his suit and made him, when
married, one of the meekest wives
imaginable. In civilized countries Of
our day this counting ceremony IS,
strange to say, sometimes used after
marriage.

tells Of tribe in the interior where
custom compels woman to carry a
calabash of water TO the man who has
expressed preference for her. Seat
ed AN a mat before his door, he washes
his hands in the vessel, and then the
woman drinks the water as a token Of
her affection. Less repulsive was the
act among the ancient Persians, who
burned his hand or cheek to prove his
devotion and then showed II to ms

YOU consider it necessary to give such

"The danger is so complicated. and
vet so certain, that it would take too
much time to describe it here, said
the doctor, looking at his watch. "In
my case, all kinds of people come to
my house and Office to consult me, and
they often wait hours. If any of my
children happens to come in they are
almost certain to talk to it, and you
know almost the first impulse with
people who notice children is to kiss
them. Bah lit makes me shudder-
tainted and diseased Sreaths, lips blue

You would kill stranger who would
waylay your young lady daughter
and kiss her by force, but the helpless,

blows, can be saluted by every one
who chances to think Of it. / tell you
it wasn't Judas alone who was betray-
ed by a kiss. Hundreds Of lovely,
blooming children are kissed into their
graves every year"
"But, doctor, how can a mother be
so ungracious as to refuse To allow
people to notice her children"
There need be no ungraciousness
about it, or, if there were, which is
the most important-the safety, and
well-being of the child, or the per
hitting of habit of ill-breeding and
doubtful morality at best? Let the
mother teach her child that it is not a
kitten or lap-dog, to be picked up
and fondled by every stranger, and
instruct it to resist any attempt to kiss

household wares, who make it Gus

4 TYnical Mormon Family.

The New York Graphic, mindful of
the possibility of new sensation, pub
lished a page of portraits of Nor
mon family recently, the vignette of
Mr. Clawson, the head of the house
hold, in the center, with the four
wives and the children of each group
ed about, the whole characterized as
"a typical Mormon family" The
Traveller is ia receipt of information
coming directly from a Mormon Civ
ing the inside facts" of this remark
able family, the story of which runs
as follows
Hiram Clawson'S first wife was
Miss Spencer, daughter of a leading
Mormon, Orson Spencer and his first
wife. While the said Spencer was on
mission in England, he married a
second wife according to English law,
thereby committing the crime of big
amy on English soil. When the first
Mrs. Spencer heard of this marriage
she died broken hearted Having the
example of hermother before her Miss
Spencer only married ClawSon after
obtaining his promise that he would
never go INTO polygamy. lie broke
his promise in two years by taking
second wife. The first Mrs. Clawson
looks like a very sad woman to day.
She 'and No. 2 live under the same
roof, but until recently they have
hardly spoken. The third and fourth
wives were daughters of Brig
ham Young. No. 3 is dead,
having been addicted to the use OF
morphine, from an overdose of which
il is said she died No. is said TO be
the favorite She has house of her
own. One of Clawson's sons has gone
into polygamy since the passage of the
Edmunds bill. He married No. 2
about six months after his first mar
riage, greatly to the distress of his first
wife. 1t is, truly, a typical Mormon
family Clawson was Brigham
Young's factotum for years, aud did
much of his dishonorable work He
was also the leading low comedian in
the amateur dramatic company Now
he combines hides with religion. He
is Bishop of the Twelfth Ward on
Sundays, and sells leather during the
week. He is also one of the managers
of the Mormon theater."

lily whose portraits appeared in our
New York contemporary as illustra-
tive and typical of Mormon life.
