RESTS WITH THE PEOPLE.

The last issue of the Manhattan Ma
fionalist contains a long article, three
columns in fact, which we understand
yersy between Mr.. Griffin and a large
number of persons, many of whom
are his personal friends, and ell of
whom have in view the same purpose
that he has, viz the suppression of
intemperance and its evils in the state
of Kansas. a large portion of the
three columns is devoted to a review
of the Dodge City affair and complaints
thai the state Off cials, especially the
governor and attorney general do not
themselves enforce the liquor law, but
in conclusion Mr.. Griffin says. There
is not locality in the state in which a
Judge, county attorney and sheriff,
with average ability, cannot close
every saloon if they really wish TO;
and generally the citizens can make
the iukc-warln officials realize that II
will not do for them TO fail IN this
matter" Mr.. Griffin is eminently cor
rect in this. The whole matter rests
primarily and finally with the
people of the various counties
and with officials, every one OF
whom Is elected by the people. If the
people want the law enforced they can
have it enforced. There is no judge
or county attorney or sheriff in this
state who can or will defy a strong
and organized public sentiment. The
people can do what THOUSAND gov
ernors and attorney generals, with
ten thousand militia behind them.
cannot do. If the law is not enforced
the people have only themselves TO
thank for it. With them rests the be-
ginning, middle and end of this whole

AN INTERESTING CASE.

There was recently commenced a
most novel and interesting case in the
United States circuit court. the par
ties thereto being the successors OF
the New York Cattle company vs..
the DOMINION Cattle company. The
plaintiffs ask for restraining order
which involves directly the power OF
the circuit court TO exercise civil
authority in the Indian Territory, and
indirectly The right Of the United
States circuit coIr; to app oiBt United
States commissioners in The Territory
which j. attached to the district OF
Kansas.
The case will be observed with
much interest a. il will lay down new
laws relative TO this much mootcd
subject.
