TILE PEOPLE RIFE

Two weeks ago, in referring to the
acquittal of two persons charged with
violating the prohibitort law in this
city, we ventured the assertion that no
Barber county jury would convict I'M
der that obnoxious law, and suggested
that public sentiment was opposed to
its enforcement, and that public senti-
ment should rule. Our neighbor, the
the Cresset. of last week, read us quite
a lecture on this last sentiment. init
mating that for q community to be
opposed to this or any obnoxious
law, was the next thing to treason.
Our assertion that public sentiment
should regulate all of the affairs i'm
community may perhaps have been
tritie too sweeping; but We were then
referring to the prohibitory law and
nothing else was under consideration;
and applying the sentiment to that sub
jcct we yet contend that the people of
community should say whether liq-
nor should be sold or not they should
be allowed to encourage temperance by
stopping the clGndestine sale Of vile
liquors in large quantities to minors
and habitual drunkards by demanding
high license of the vendors. Tie peo-
should be allowed to pursue happiness
according to the dictates Of their own
conSciences when they alone are con-
cerned rs to the consequences. a COM
munity should not be asked to enforce
a law distaSteful to nine-tenths of tho
people and not in accordance with the
wishes OF a majority i'm the state or the
nation whan society is not n sufferer
by nOn-enforcement, but actually bet
ter off.
The Cresset by way of comparison.
refers to public sentiment i'm Utah in
upholding Mormonism, and would have
its readers believe that bigamy and an
ti-prohlbition were crimes of the same
magnitude. One Is clearly n crime
against society, against morality and
against divinity; while the other is no
crime at all, but a sentiment on which
the wisest and best men differ. IL GER
fanny Is not a crime Tor one 10 eat or
drink what he chooses, so loug as he
does not interfere with the peace and
happiness Of those around hir, nor is
II crime to believe that he has the
right to regulate his eat and drink. On
the other hand il n man is guilty. of
bigamy he is encouraging adultery un-
der Our statutes ne is bringing into
the world Legitimate children, inter-
fering with the rights Of property and
violating the constitution, to say moth
ing Of disgracing morality.
The Cresset also compares the viola
ton Of the prohibitory law with the vi
olation of the revenue law. and thinks
that a people who refuse to contribute to
the support Of the general government
ard have to be compelled into submits
sion are on the same footing with peo-
pie who oppose n prOhibitory law en-

HACKNEYs 'HITALIAY HAND.

HACKNEY'S 'HITALL1N HAND.
Hon. BIZ Hackney. guardian of the
republican party in southwestern Kan
Sas. came ever from Winfield last week
To attend district court in this city, lie
being attorney for the Santa Fe rail
road In certain right-of-way contest
cases. When he had attended 10 his
legal business he took look over the
political field and told the bar of this
place that Judge Ray must HE himself
away To Sumner county 10 there look
after his political fences. now seriously
in need OF attention. Judge Ray evi-
IDENTIFY had confidence in the wisdom of
the friend credited with getting him
the appointment, for he stood not upon
the order of his going, hut went. Sun
day morning, leaving the district court
here IN the hands of the attorneys. No
serious inconvenience has occurred by
Judge Rays absence, for an acceptable
district judge, pro tenn. has been sitting
THIS week in the person of Hon. L. L.
Gillette, of Kingman.
Parenthetically, 1t may be mentioned
that there is some doubt about Judge
Ray getting the support of the delega-
tion from this county in the judicial
convention. There are some mutter-
iDgs to be heard which may yet develop
into n healthy protest, for we do not be-
lieve the republicans here are badly
mashed" on Judge RAY.

THE CHEYENNE OUTBREAK.

There are numerous causes assigned
for the threatened Cheyenne outbreak,
among others one that bears some SEM
blance of season. 1t is to the effect that
the last congress appropriated $4,000
of the regular annuity that was intend
ed for this tribe To the payment of
claim of one Oburn, whose cattle had
been killed by these Indians; and this
knowledge coming to- the Cheyennes
made them dissatisfied with such treat
ment. They had calculated OH getting
their regular allowance of money and
knew nothing to the contrary until
short time since. OF course the Indians
were disappointed, and it required but
little effort on the part Of busy-bodys
to get them to declare war OH the
whites.
Another reason given for the threat
ened outbreak is that certain cattle
men who, previous to the present leases,
had occupied the rich grazing lands OH
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation
and who paid snail rent money, are
now working To get the Indians dissat-
isiicd with the present leases. Before
the present leases were made the graz
ing money was pOcketel 10y the leaders
among the Indians, the chiefs, where
now they share only a small part of it.
This has made these leaders dissatisfied
aud they, too, are cndeavoring To get up
war, hoping that the present leases will
be abrOgated and that they will have Il e
opportunities for moneY-making that
formerly existed.
II is also suggested that certain par
ties connected with the L. s. military
were interested i'm punches of cattle
that grazed on the Cheyenne reserva-
ton at very small cost TO the owners
before the lands were leased to the
present occupants; aud that I csc same
military gentlemen are the ones who
are sending ont such war-like news.
Ii does appear that all men are
schemors and that all are possessed of
dispositions similar TO the dog -in-the-
manger, that we read about.

Our good and useful Ex-GOv. st. John
Is now preparing to help the democrats
In Ohio, aud before he has even arrived
there the republicans have commenced
TO abuse him. Judge Foraker is the
republican candidate for governor; Rev.
Leonard Is the prohibition candidate,
and the democrats have not put up n
candidate yet. Leonard tie other day,
in n speech. said, Between us and the
goal we strive for are two walls. The
first of these walls is the republican
party, the second the democratic. So
the first break must be the republican
party. II is war TO the knife and knife

AS was anticipated, there Is serious
trouble existing between the Texas
drivers and those stOcismen who cccIl-
py the Cherokee strip under lease.
There isa regular trail passing through
the Strip ~ the Kansas line. but this is
not sufficient, for Texas cattle cannot
enter Kansas, and so the drivers want 70
~ west on the Stripso as 10 get into Col
orado. The government has been asked
20 Interfere. and with only partial in
formation, il appears inclined to favor
the drovers as against the lessees ON the
strip. IL appears that Texas cattlemen
are determined To keep on until their
herds are prohibited in any adjoining
state. Is Is known that all cattle south
OF certain points carry diseqse into all
northern herds. and that Kansas atone
has lost millions of dollars by Texas
fever. II Is hut natural that our state
opposes the admittance OF Texas herds.
The StriPcattlemen Know what TO OK

lands, and we 10 not blame them for
lighting for their rights.

acted against the wishes Of a peOpl e
and not repealed after it has proved
failure. In one instance the govern
ment demands compensation for pro-
tecting its people, for furnishing them
with the machinery of government;
while in the other instance the govern
ment is actually defrauded of n reve-
nue. due it, 10y the attempted enforce
ment of an obnoxious law-one that
the people would be glad to have off
their statute books and have in its
stead one that would produce revenue
TO support its institutions and enforce
the good laws that are being violated.
The CreSset should not have to be
told why this community is opposed to
the present prohibitory law. 1t should
know that nine out Of every ten mer in
the community, have witnessed its COM
plete failure to prohibit the sale of in
tOxicGnts here and elsewhere. and are
demanding law that will regulate such
sales and at the same time provide a
revenue for Furnishing criminals if any
are made 10y the liquor traffic. The peo-
pie can see that the sale of liquor under
the present law has been transferred
from the open saloons that were willing
to pay a license, to the drug stores that
claim to sell it tor medicine. Without
pretended prohibition a man could take
a drink and commit but one crime (if
crime it can be called) while now he
MUS perjure himself, take the drink
and violate the law, al at the same
time

A "reliable gentleman reported at
Kingman the other day that he had
travelled through portions Of Kiugman,
Pratt and Barber counties and that the
only Indians he had hearl OF were
those who were doing their regular
ti1ding around Medicine Lodge! And
this report was telegraphed from King
man To the world as news. Tho fact Of
the matter Is that Mfediciue Lodge is
not an Indian trading point, and not an
Indian has ever bought even Il dollars
worth of goodsh here since the town was
established, twelve years ago; and fur
ther, old settlers say that there has new
or been any Indians in the county since
