Public opinion and parents have
decidedly enough of Kinks and rink
ism" and all the subterfuges resorted
to will not keep them up long any,
more. We are sorry to see worthy
enterprises helping to keep them up.
1t Injuries their cause, as many people
will not go there. Let the Kinks be
"rinks" for those who want to go, and
give the public a public hall or any
other place for public entertainments.
Even if the Kinks are turned into
halls, they should not be patronized.
Let them rot. The whole idea from
the first was a money-making scheme
ola few, to the loss and detriment of
the many.

The Berkeley Nineleft for Mounds
vile on the train of Thursday night.
There is no reason now why the State
p%eni1entiary should not be self-sus-
tanning in the future. Berkeley is
always equal to the emergency, and
has taken the matter in hand. Out
of the aforesaid Nine she sends doc
tors, BARRIERS, school teachers, farm
hands and domestics. A mob of from
two to three hundred citizens were
at the train to welcome their depar.
ture; and from the number of APP
plications to act as guards and the
p~ersistency with which they were
pressed on the Sheriff, one would
have thought the Sheriff had conclu-
ded to send all applicants. There
seemed to be but nine who did not
want to make the trip TO the inter
ior, but possibly they had business
which required their presence al
home, or they, too, would have pre-.
ferred going.

The question which will come most
promptly before Congress is undoubted-
ly that Of silver. The probable discus
sion Of this question has brought out a
great many books on the subject and
the congressman who have come to the
city, have been hunting up literature
relating to financial questions. The
distinguished ex-editOr Of the World
Marion Marble, has sent to each MEM
Der of Congress during the week "a pam
phlet entitled The Great Monetary
Powers" accompanied by his card and
compliments. He now advocates the
suspension of the coinage of silver in
the United States. The interest i'm the
silver question quite Overshadows just
now that If the tariff
A few days ago, the tariff and anti
tariff champions, Representative Nor
risOn aud Ex-Speaker Randall, met by
chance in the Office of the First Assist
ant POstmaster-G General The late an
tagonists ON the tariff question shook
hands cordially, inquired about each
others health, and chatted in a way
that refuted the allegation of personal
ill-feeling between them.
MIR. Randall spent three hours with
the President one evening this week,
and they talked about changing the
rules of the Lower House, so rs to pei
nit more !. gisIation during the coming
session. The President favors AS much
legislation as can possibly be crowded
into the session. He endorses the plan
to divide the appropriation bills among
the committees. lie has said the tariff
/ could very well go over until next ses-
sion if necesss. ry, and that there were
more important matters To look after.
He also favors action ON the silver
question, and "a good deal of his message
will be given To that subject.
The situation in which the Presiien,
will find himself in reference To the
Senate ON the meeting of Congress will
be peculiar. The majority Of the SEN
ators are opposed to him in politics.
Some of these have declared their in
tentiOn of opposing him on the ground
that his nominations are not Demo
cratic in the sense that they should be,
and further rs "A means of forcing him
to make more changes than he seems
inclined TO make. To the Senate thus
constituted, the President will have 20
submit variety of nominations. Its
attitude towards him will be watched
with great interest.

Local Option.

CROMWELL, Ky, November 20, 1880
Mister Editor:
Permit me through the columns of
your most excellent paper, to call the
attention of our Representative and
Senator to what seems To be needed
amendment To the local option laws of
tins state: First, We believe the Law
should he so amended as To allow the
citizens of county voting precent, in
corporated town, or "A school district, To
vote for or against the sale of liquor up
on the petition of "A reasonable number
of the responsible citizens of the coun-
~ district, &c. The county Judge to or
der an election in the territory named
in the petition, causing "A notice to app
one, and cause the sheriff post reason
able number of notices in the territory
where the vote il to be taken, giving
reasonable notice of time and place Of
voting.
ment authorizing "a special election for
the purpose as specified above, strictly
prohibiting any other question to he
voted upon, the election to he conduct
ed 10y, and return made by the same
officers, and under the same penalties
as Il general election. The law should
: ha "A oh e L.,
lated To defeat the will of the people
fairly ascertained.
Ii may seem unnecessary aud too
expensive to some to hold "A special cleo
ton for this purpose, but if they will
give the subject moments thought
they will be bound to concede its great
fairness TO both sides of the question.
Ii is "A notorious fact that the friends of
Temperance, Law and Order are the
bone and sinew of the great political
parties and consequently unorganized
a. a Temperance element. While the
rum pourer may he politically divided
they are organized to defeat any and
all temperance legislation. While they
are largely in the minority they hold
the balance of power and do not scru-
pie to Use it when ever occasion de-
mands. That political party or candi-
date who champions the cause of tenn
perance only seals their political doom,
for the dram shops turn loose their
hoodlums, sneak-thieves, wife-beaters,
repeaters aud libertines and make
success impossible. But by this plan
the question is Invested of mncb of its
political significance and is reduced to
the simple question: Shall the honest
law-abidiDg citizens rule, or shall or
ganized law-breakers, thugs and thieves
rule.
Upon this platform the Democrat,
Republican, Greenbacker, Prohibition
list, lthe Blue and the Gray, the Chris
tian and the Moralist can unite and
make war upon common enemy. Hop
ing this will call forth an ADLER pen, we
close for the present.
