PROHTBTTTOY IN KANSAS.

Prohibition is likely to be the rock on
which the Republican party in Kansas will go
to pieces. According to a dispatch from
Topeka to the Chicago Tribune the new tenn
perance law passed BY the late legislature is
creating more bitter feeling than ANYTHING
that has ever been done in this direction in
the state of ST. JOIN. The new law is the
outcome of the Republican platform in the
last election, and consequently Its unpopu-
larity is charged up to the Republican party.
While it processes to be a strict prohibition
law, it lodges the liquor traffic almost
entirely in the drug stores. Each druggist
proposing TO sell liquors procures a license
from the Judge of the probate court. paving
So therefor He is furnished with a register
and book containing 100 blank appllca-
tons One Of these applications is signed
by each purchaser, who also indicates upon
the blank the nature of his particular aimeut
and the quantity of liquor desired.
The druggist transfers the applications
each dav TO a record book, and at the close of
each month he is required to make report
to the probate judge giving n recapitulation
OF the months business, and to pay the judge
the sum due him at the rate Of Eve cents for
each application embraced in the report. An
investigation Of the business done in the
drug stores at Topeka showed 327 sales in
one day, and for the days business the pro-
bate Judge reaped sl635 in the way of his
fve-cent fees. In the 32T applications named
almost every known form of disease is speei-
fed and the general HRhealthiness of Topeka
exeites great surprise, especially to the patient
less physician.
The Tribune has similar sdvices IRON
Lawrence. Many of the leading Republicans
OF the state foretel the disruption of their
party aud believe that all future contests will
be between the Democratic and Prohibition
parties. The new temperance Law is so much
akin TO the Connecticut blue laws there Is
general kick against il all over the state. It
establishes system of espionage and breaks
down all rules Of evidence intended to pro
/ teet the aroused from crime. The Republic
cans can no longer rely upon the nation al
government to give them assistance in keep
1 ing their party together, and the prospect is
/ that the party in Kansas is doomed to de-
I struction.

HIGGINS FILL GO

The Baltimore News, an influential Demo-
cratic journal, publishes in detail the charges
and evidence sustaining them against
GENE HIGGINS, the treasury clerk, about whom
such a rumpus is being raised. From the
evidence published by the News it seems
that HIGGINS mad been champion bull
dozer at elections, had tempered with ballot
boxes, was notorious lobbyist, and owns an
interest in gambling house. Many other
reports and allegations injuriouslv affecting
his private life and character are set forth as
matters Of general currency and belief which
establish for him reputation incompatible
with any sound and honest principles which
should govern the selection of men for
public Office, and especially with that car
dinal rule communicated by President CLEvE-
LAND and Endorsed by the people that
''public office is public trust" The Demo-
cratic party means to carry out the pledges
made to the people and its voice is that Mr..
Higgins must walk the plank.

Eish's Testimony.

In court to-day ex-President Fish testified
in his own behalf. Mr.. Green, who was vice
| president of the Marine bank, introduced
Mr.. Ward to Fish in 1876. Ward married a
daughter of Green. Ward said to Fish that
he was young man with limited acquaint-
ance in New York and with limited capital.
AS friend of Green and his family, Ward
asked Fish to be friendly to him. He
would of course satisfy Fish of
the fact that he was worthy of confidence,
and he asked Fish to give him advice ON
business matters. He said he knew David
BOWS. Supt Grant of produce exchange and
eX-Mayor Edison. Ward told witness that he
had opportunities to make money by buying
certificates of mem bership in the produce
exchange and selling them afterwards
to prospective members. He would buy
certificates for 5000 or more and sell them at
an advance of $50, $40 or $50 Witness
lent Ward money from time to time to buy
certificates, and at very short intervals he
would make accounting of profits. Fish sub
mitted letters from Ward, urging specula-
ton in certificates and -four was better than
in stocks In one of these Ward writes: Il
should like, in connection with
Grant and my brother, as well
as Grants father to take advantage of some
mining points they occasionally give me.
Grant did 80 well in Crysolite, Little Pitts
burg, Mountain King, etc, that |, too, want
to join him in some Of these enterprises.
They take a good deal of money. Still I am
always willing to put in what can if you
can help the rest. l also think if you and
l were to put up, say $40, 900
each, as margin on stocks we should make a
good profit on investment / make these
suggestions not only from selfish point of
view but also because | enjoy making money
for you as well as ! do for myself.'
In letter dated March 2, 1882, Ward
wrote Fish: "The general contract business
progresses well, but we must keep it mum,
or papers will give us fits" Again: $50
it while you can, and have a good
time" And, eve may not be
in favor long, as 1 take
these orders government when l can get
them: AS long as we keep quiet and do
this business in outside names, the general
will stick by us. If some dav we can get
some of those Indian contracts I will be
happy, for the profit on one is enough TO set
US all up.''
In another letter Ward said he didn't
want all contracts, but he thought that when
''we get out of one we might try for another.
As | am managing these orders, | feel res
possibility rests on me-"
Ward wrote witness another time: 'Now,
Mr.. Fish, you know | appreciate too deeply
your kindness to take advantage of you.
have always looked upon you as second
father"
Fish continued his testimony regarding the
progress of the firm of Grant Il Ward.
Ward reported business was good and sub
mtted statements monthly showing profits.
In every case check accom- panied the state
ments. Fish admitted that on July /, 1882,
his own note aggregating 5000, 600 was dis
counted by the Marine bank.
Case adjourned for the day.

4 SCRAP OF HISTORY THAT DOESN'T
COUNT


Mr.. GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND, alias
"GATH,'' has been mad at somebody ever
since his Blaine letters failed to have any
appreciable effect upon the last presidential
canvass and he has been striking at people
in promiscuous sort of way ever since.
In his last letter in the Cincinnati Enquirer
he takes q whack at the Father of His Coun-
try and his estimable old mother in the follow
ing language:
''WAsHINsToN's mother lived in sight of Fred
ericksburg and used to ride into her fields with
a hat of straw or big sun-bonnet on her head
and direct the overseer or watch the slaves.
Her son GEORGE had half brother over on the
Potomac river who was married into a family
with plenty of pretension and great deal Of
land. GEORGE was separated from his mother,
became sort of high overseer for his half
brother, received commission, had little for
eign travel, and so went onward through paths
we know not of until his historical maturity
We fail to see any possible good to Zoe done
by such ill-natured illusions to pair of peo
Pile who hold mighty warm places in the
hearts of the American people. If "GATH's"
scrap of history is true nobody will believe it.
WAsHINGToN's history has been written and
"GATHn can't change it, add to it, or detract
from it. That Ratchet story in WAsHINGToN's
life made him a great many enemies, and
"GATH" seems to be one of them.

LORD DUFFERIN, viceroy of India, and the
ameer of Afghanistan, the important per-
sonage whose cranial development has been
swelled by the rival attentions of England
and Russia, met yesterday and fell upon each
others necks in reckless disregard of disar-
ranging their wardrobes, and pledged eter-
nal fealty to the empress of all the Indies
and other large sections of this terrestrial
sphere. 1t was a pathetic meeting. The
prospect of winning the smiling approval of
royalty on the one hand and the glitter of
British gold stimulated the distinguished
parties to the meeting to spread themselves.
Russian diplomacy had failed to reach this
same result from lack of coin. Not that the
ameer is not susceptible to the blandish-
ments of taffy. but that he has an overmas-
tering weakness for the luxuries of life that
the possession of wealth assures.
