In an address to the Prohibitionists,
Rev. A. NJ. Richardson, chairman of
the state central committee, says that
the increase of permits to sell intoxi-
eating liquors the past year is due to
the fact that Republican officials have
failed to do their duty.
Mr.. Richardson should remember
that Republican officials of Kansas,
from Gov. Martin down, are opposed to
prohibition and the number of violators
pardoned by Gov. Martin is all the
evidence that is needed, so far as he
is concerned. The resolutions and plat
form planks adopted by Republican
conventions, state and otherwise, have
been done only to quiet prohibitionists.
Although we.have constitutional prohi-
bition in Kansas, who is there who will
assume the responsibility of saying that
there ever was any sincerity of purpose
among the Republican politicians in the
prohibition crusade? Prohibitionists
for revenue only will remain in the Re
publican party. Those in earnest will
leave it.-M0nbdttdn Mercury.

Executions by Electricity.

Senator Mcmillan, of the Buffalo district has
introduced in the New York legislature q bill
which provides tor the appointment Of a COM
mission 10 investigate and report the most
humane method of inficting capital punish
ment. The bill is OF Importance TO all inter-
ested in the advancement Of humanity and IL
is probably the result mainly of the efforts of
DR.. \. T. Southwick, of Buffalo, who has been
for many years anxious to have the method of
capital punishment changed, and Assistant
District Attorney Quinby. They look upon
hanging az relic OF barbarism. Science is so
far advanced that other and better means can
easily be devised. DIR. Southwick proposes to
execute criminals by means OF electricity by
which death would be instantaneous The
method which he proposed Is very simple His
idea Is TO use an ordinary chair. In this CITY a
wire could be run from the electric light works
to the Jail. The man would sit in the chair
with MS head resting against its back The
wire entering an insulated substance. such as
rubber or glass, would constitute the positive
pole. BY placing the man feet upon a inetaIIic
plate connection would be formed with the
poles AT signal a switch in another room
could be turned. The current would enter AT
the base OF the brain, the center OF the nervous
system, and pass through the man. The heart
would stop beating, and complete paralysis
would ensue.

Democrat, dated 18th inst, says: "Barnard's

the north star from the Pleiades or seven stars.
IL is now about 10 north OF Alpha Arltis 1t is

Is now in vacant part of the sky some 100
northwest OF Alpha Adromeda, low down in
the northwest On April Both it will be some
4 from east OF the place where Barnard's will
DE when brightest "a month later. 1t will be a
unique II not an altogether unheard OF spec
tace OF two bright comets in the same quarter
OF the heavens being almost simultaneously
visible. Fabrys, or the Paris comet. rs IL Is
often called, Will probably become visible to the
naked eye in less than two weeks from now
and, fortunately. moonlight will not interfere
with Its Visibility, neither will 1t but very little
on April goth, when brightest 1t may be al
vIsaUIe 10 note that the two comets, both being
visible To the naked eye, will, on April 22d, be
Within 81 of each other. 1t may be also inter
estlng To state that, on February 22d, Fabry's
and Brooks comet were but 20 "A apart and
with telescope of low power both were in one
field. On April 25th Fabry's comet will cross
a point which Barnard's comet will pass on
March 22d, and on May Goth Barnard s will be
where Fabrys had passed twenty-three DAYS
previously. 1t is Fabry's, not Barnard's comet
that is supposed to be identical with Miss
Caroline He-schefs comet of 1855"
