The President After Information

NKw YORK, Nov lS.-A Washington
special says: The President has called on
the state department for full statemess of
relations with Germany and Austria ia ne
gard To the treatment of naturalized citizens
Of the United States in these countries. 1t
il understood that the president is deter
mined that the United States shallpo longer
remain inactive on this question. In tne
event of Germany and Austria ignoring our
protests it is believed that the severance of
all Approximations with these countries
would rapidly bring around a crisis
It is not thought probable that the
president will mention the trouble in his
message, but be will make powerful sug-
gestions about the need of new navy and
the alarming condition Of our coast delen-
ses. In conclusion the special SAYS: "In
case matters do not mend before the ad-
iournmcnt of congress, the president will
make il the subject of special m Message,
urging upon the legislative branch of the
government the absolute necessity of form
ing such a manner of offense and defense
that in case the worst comes this country
should not be caught mapping"
1t is not thought the president will put
the matter as bluntly as this, but will mean
all the same.

There is still whisper in the air that An

here in the matter of constructing water
works for this city. The Messrs. Jones only
made themselves known in the city this
morning, and by o'clock this afternoon
large number of citizens of the iowa had
gathered in Union hall, and listened to the
propositions of Meesrs. Jones in regard to
the construction of water works, and after a
full, free, and interested discussion of the

TOO STRONGLY ENDORSED

The Wichita EAGLL, commenting on
the New York election, makes us
think the editor has file of the Union
from which to draw Here is an idea
almost word for word from these col
umns of about four years ago:
Take Kansas, and had the Republican
party refused TO carry the prohibition party
Click, nor any other Democrat, would
ever have been elected. 1t might
not have been morally right, what is there
about it thHt lie morsl!-Ed. Union] but it
would have been politically safe. If the
Republican party had stood aloof, as did
the Democratic party of Kansas. the prohi-
tionists to the number of twenty or may be
thirty thousand would have pulled out OF
the Republican party. Bot that would not
have endangered the political success Of the
Republican party in the state. 1t would
have still elected its ticket by plurality.
In other words, if the prohibitionists Of
Kansas had formed third party the Demo-
Gratis wouldn't have dared TO TO take them
in and the Republicans would have been
compelled to.
Ii il had not bern for the cowardly
ram sucking shysiers of the Republi-
can party we would not have had this
trouble, There would have been a
nice little party of four or five thous-
aud, and the Republican party would
have been saved the unspeakable DEM
agnguery characteristic of this ques-
ton. And the same mistake is being
made to-day with reference to third
party. Ii dram drinking can be sup
pressed or even miiigated by law ii
overshadows every other question on
earth. Then why no; make it the dis
tinct issue of a seperate organization
where il will be relieved of the suffo-
eating grasp of line thousands who do
not believe a word of il! Because
there is nothing in il. The very fact
that. it insists upon raping thousands
of unwilling and unbelieving Repnbli-
cans through their loyalty to their
party is evidence enough that it is q
fraud The slavery question Alb
sorbed the Wing party when
the third or Republican party
wa. organized. Let the prohibition
isis ave their own party, aud if their
issue equals the slavery question, or is
but one tenth its importance, the past
glory OF the Republican party will be
but as tallow dip in comparison.
The unbelieying Republicans, and the
barnac!cs Of the party, must in the
very nature of things be drawback.
We have no love for The Republican
or any other party which would pre-
vent us falling in with movement
showing The slightes sign of serious
ness and success in alleviating the
woes of rum. And SO with millions.
Bat this thing of electing a Republi-
can 10 Office with q barrel of whisky
on one shoulder and tea-spoonful of
water on the other, and have Repub-
lcan officials whose contempt is bare
ly suppressed certify 10 the success of
the water, is a sickening and tiresome
outrage. The prohibitionist who is
not ia favor of a third party is fraud.

STEALING KANSAS THUNDER.

The report from the agricultural bu-
resu at Washington, shows that the
largest, surest and most profitable
crop raised in the United States is
corn. And the largest, NEST profit
able and certain agricultural product
is always the chief basis of a nations
prosperity. Now, taking this fact, AN
other follows: The area of the coun-
try embraces $50 miles around the
mouth of the Kansas river is The very
best and most profitable corn country
on the globe. The journal
has been very observing and
recording the fact for thirty years.
and in all that time but one failure has
occurred. Aud save from grasshop-
pers, we have never known corn in
the ground by the 10th Of May fail
ure. So we may set il down as d fac
tor in future calculations, that, as corn
is the biggest, surest and most profit
able crop grown in the United States,
Kansas City is the center and market
of the best region for its production
And in connection with this we may
refer 10 another fact, that the corn of
the Missouri valley, known in the
market rs Kansas corn, grades higher
in the worlds markets than any corn
grown. IL is not Boosting TO refer TO
these simple facts of statistics from
the public records.-K. Z. journal.

WICHITA.S THUNDER.

We want to say to the Capital that in its
editorial on Railroads Coming Here" it
does not play exactly fair. In fact, it large
ly steals Wichita thunder. Governor Os-
born may have went to Chicago in Topeka
interest, but Senator Plumb was there in
the interest of the state at large and its rail-
way interests. But why ignore the city
that furnished four Of the six members of
the delegation who went to Chicago, and
who spent twice as much time with said
railway interests as did Governor Osborn,
and who ssid as much for Topeka as did
Gov. Osborn or Senator Plumb. Another
thing the Capitals attention is called to-,
and that is the EAGLE three weeks ago an
nouneed that the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul Was going to build to Topeka.
Wake up, old man.

Kansas is the best lumber market in the

COL. ANTHONY AND PROHlRi.
TON.

Editor Daily Capital.
When it became necessary to make
the territories and the whole union
free, ID. II. Anthony came with the
frst party of free state men from New
England and New York. When the
Republican party was first formed in
New York, Anthony was the signer
of the call from Monroe county.
When the most decisive fugitive slave
case arose in Leavenworth, il was d..
X. Anthony who saved the life of the
fleeing fugitive, Charley Fisher, at the
risk OF his own. He, unarmed, con-
fronted Bill Pleas, in the center of
Delaware street, asd held Pleas down
and cooked revolver until Char
ley was out of its range. II took cool.
ness and courage to do that manly act.
Before the war broke out and after il
broke out, d. r. Anthony was union
leader and officer. When the Union
general, in Mississippi, issued an order
commanding his subordinates to re.
turn fugitive slaves, Col. Anthony de-
family disobeyed it, and protected ev-
cry slave who came within his lines. II
was by such exceptional acts as this
