A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.

The Topeka Journal, which claims
to be the Democratic organ of the
state of Kansas, throws up the sponge
in this sort of a fashion:
We regard the liquor question as
practically settled in Kansas. The
law will be amended as experience
shows lis necessity, but the open sa-
loon is thing of the past in this state
We predict that this question will
never again be the main issue in a
political campaign. The real prohi-
bitionists will push their new party
issue. but neither of the old parties
will take direct issue with them. The
Republicans will, in a general way.
resolve i'll favor of temperance, So
briefly and the enforcement of the pro-
hibition legislation.
The Democrats will resolve in favor
of true temperance, resubmission, per-
sonal liberty and opposition 10 stump
tuary legislation. IL is true the issue
on this question will be well defined
but il will never again be the leading
issue of the campaigu-it never ou2ht
to be. Ii will never do to hear ia"
Democratic party siigmatizcd a the
whisky party.
There are other questions of vas Iy
more Importance i'll this State, than
the liberty TO get drunk.
We have the tariff question, tie
money question. monopoly rule, and IA
thousand other questions that come
home to every family.
The effort of some of our leaders in
this state last fall To make anri-prohi-
bition and resubmissin' the o"ly is
sues of the campaign was mistake.
In the first place it drove many true
Democrats out of -thc party, and in
the wind up the Republicans secured
the whisky vote. The result in Tope-
ka and Atchisor shows this. In fu-
ture we must put our candidates on a
straight Democratic platform
The Democratic party is and must
go before the people rs the friend of
labor, as the poor mans friend. Our
motto must be, Equal and exact JUS
ticc To all, special privilescS to none"
This was the Democracy of jefferson.

Kansas. But we will never carry the
state on whisky straight, and we
never ought 10.

To Hon. Norman j. Coleman, Commits
sioner of agriculture Nearly $4,000 cat
tie on the drive from Texas to Pan Handle
of Texas and Colorado have been fOrcibiy
stopped and prevented from passing over
the common trail for such cattle through
the Indian country, the Cherokee strip and
Normansland;.ar now stopped there by
an armed band of menin the pay OF the
rival cattle interests. These cattle COM
prise the herds OF j. r. Blocker, OF 7,OOO
head, Pugsley Bros. & Bowling OF 5000,
j. w. Driskoll of $4,000, II. s. Holly OF
1000, and John T. Lyttle of 5000, all cit
liens of Colorado, Missouri, Kansas and
Texas. These cattle were purchased Tor
speedy delivery in Colorado and the Pan
Handle, and the contracts for which are
now expiring or have expired. All these
cattle are sound and healthy, and from a
district clean of disease. 70 further aid In
stopping these cattle criminal proceedings
have been instituted by complaints sworn
to by an irresponsible party, at the sugges-
zion of this rival interest. We have dom
our best to get a trial and have the suit dis
posed OF. We are law-abiding citizens, and
started our cattle north with a full knOwl-
edge of all the requirements OF the quaran-
tine regulations OF the several States. We
think this may receive your immediate
attention, and that under the large power
given you, you may direct the Marshal or
the Attorney General Of the district OF
Kansas to see that these herds have the
right, not only to complete their journey,
| but sale conduct from the hostile parties.

A Lucky PENNSYLVANIA.

Among the many visitors to Butte, yes.
terday, was Mr.. Thomas A. H. Hay, Of
Easton, Pennsylvania. Mr.. Hay has some
| very valuable mining properties in Mon
| tana, including several promising lodes in
| the immediate vicinity OF Butte. Mr.. Hay
is an educated and accomplished gentleman,
carrying with him an honorable diploma
from Lafayette College, Penna., a leading
collegiate, scientific and mining institution
OF learning. He came out to Helena with
one OF his classmates, Mr.. Russell Harrison,
the present manager OF the United States
assay office at the territorial capital.
While here he married the charming daugh-
ter of General Ruger, OF the Uuited States
army. He left for his home last evening.
In conversation with a MINER reporter he
stated that in his opinion Butte was the
greatest mining camp in America, and that
he intended to return here, as soon as he
could settle up his large interests in the
Keystone state, and make Butte his per-
manent place OF abode. Such worthy men
as Mr.. Hay will always receive a cordial
welcome.
