The prohibitiOniStS viii cut cOnsid-
rable figure in the Kansas election this
fall. The greater portion of them come
from the republican party and they
state freely their intention of defeating
the republican state ticket in order to
force that party to adopt the prohibi-
tion plank in its platform of 1883. The
republican party contains thousands of
voters who would be pleased to see their
party endorse prohibition and who will
readily consent to swell the prohibition
vote in an off year to convince their
leaders that the prohibitionists hold the
balance of power. The scheme is SIM
pie and will probably be successful,
and if it is the prohibition republicans
will then have gained possession of the
club with which to drive the republican
party to endorse their theories.

Andrew S. Wilson, a candidate for
congress nominated by the tricky
faction of the republican party of this
district, was at the fair and made a
school boy talk to a small gathering of
people Friday afternoon. lie mounted
the wagon, made good "grecian bend
bow, and then commenced to give his
listeners talk on agriculture. His
remarks were indeed brilliant % and
showed that behind them were an in
telligent mind ~ for he told the farm
ers, as the following, which is the gist
of his speech, will show:
"When was a boy we planted our
crops in the spring, and after the crop
was planted we commenced to pillow. after
a while we laid our crops by. Then we
commenced to harvest, then blowing
again in the fall, then getting corn.
feeding cattle and stock. And then the
next Spring the same thing must be
gone over with"
Now, do you think Mr.. Wilson is the
man to represent this district in con-
greSs, and man who would command
influence by deep and learned views, af-
ter hearing the school boy talk to the
people of this county?

Prohibitionist Policy.

If Prohibition is an issue in the COM
ing campaign there is but one wise and
proper thing for its friends and its foes
respectively to do. All fair argument
touching such matters proceeds upon
the assumption that men will or ought
to vote their convictions. If they are
convinced that the prohibitory law
should remain on the statute book and
be enforced, then their only straight
forward and prudent course is to vote
for the party that is for prohibition.
which is the prohibition party. If. on
the other hand, they feel that the evils
of the liquor traffic can be better hand
ed IN carefully founded and diligently
executed license laws and in home and
society effort. then it becomes a duty
= vote the Democratic ticket, for the
Democratic party is plainly the only
party that is sincerely and unitedIy
against prohibition.
The Republican organs say that would
help the Democratic party? Admitted.
But why, from the Prohibition stand

z Terrible Railroad Accident Hap
pens near Junction City, in which
WRIT W. WALTON
Enters the Valley of Death.

Intelligence reached here Monday
afternoon which caused surprise and
CONSERVATION 1t was to the effect
that Writ W. Walton had been killed
in railroad accident near Junction
City.
The facts of the sad affair are as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Walton left Junction City at 500
Sunday afternoon on the Union Pacific
branch bound for Clay Center. Upon
reaching Aida, the first station north
Of Junction City, he announced his in
tentiOn of leaving the coach in which
he had been riding and going in front
to the engine for the purpose of con-
versing with the engineer. He did so
and when the train was about two miles
out of Aida the engine jumped the
track, caused by the spreading of the
rails. Mr.. Walton, the engineer and
fireman were thrown into the ditch,
and the engine bridged the ditch. In
some way the steam pipe became dis
connected and the steam poured out on
the three prisoners in the ditch prison.
In about five minutes Mr.. Walton
and the other imprisoned men were
reached by the passengers of the train
who had come to their rescue.
1t was then learned that the entire
left side of Mr.. Walton's body, includ-
ing his head and face, had been severely
scalded fairly cooked. The remaining
two men were slightly burned.
The injured trio were taken back to
Junction City. Mr.. Walton was borne
to the residence of Mrs. James Streator.
vt first the physicians supposed that
Mr.. WaltOnS injuries were merely flesh
wounds. They were dressed and he
was left for the night. In the mean
time he WAS perfectly conscious, and it
was supposed he would recover.
About 3 o'clock in the morning he
began to decline, and the doctors were
again summoned.
Then it was learned that Mr.. Walton
was at deaths door. The five minutes
or more that he had lain under the
engine inhaling the white, hot steam,
had fairly cooked his lungs, and his
lease of life was but for a few hours.
lie was infOrmedof the fact and took
it very coolly. lie babe all his friends
goodbye, and was perfectly resigned
TO his fate. At $50 he passed calmly
away, in the prime of his manhood,
and glory. a man hOnored
and beloved by all who knew him-a
of Kansas enterprise, progress
and ability.

Our Candidate for Congress.

Joseph G. Lowe, who was nominated
at Clay Center by the Democratic Con-
sressional Convention, is in every re-
spect worthy and well qualified for that
position. A man just in the prime OF
life, possessed with good Judgment and
fine oratorical powers, he would be a
credit to the state and an honor to his
constituents if chosen to represent TINS
district in the halls of Congress. lie
will make an active campaign and
ought to be elected. The platform up
on which he stands is a platform OF
principles and speaks boldly for the
best interests of the people, and Joseph
G. Lowe has the manhood and. integrl-
ty to advocate and if elected stand by
them with his voice and vote.

point shouldn't it? Why, conceding
prohibition to be an issue, should the
Republican party ask help from either
the Prohibitionlsts or those who are
against prohibition 1t is true that
the republican platform declares for
prohibition, everybody knows who
~ ':e .':ything, that that declaration
hasn't the sympathy of half the Repub-
lican voters, that it is regarded by all
the leaders as mere trap to catch
votes, and that, in the event of Repub-
ican success, it would be executed or
not, according as the leaders should
then determine whether it was wise
politics or not. In fact, it is plain that
the policy of the Republican party in
this state is to get along without doing
what the PrOhibitionistS want if they
can, but to do what they want if it
must. Now, to make it must" the
thing for the prohibitionists to do, is
clearly to poll such a vote for Mr..
Branscombe and his fellow candidates
on the prohibition ticket, as to clearly
show they constitute factor without
which Republicans cannot hope to at
tain or retain power. To win for pro-
hibitiOn the Prohibitionists must defeat
the party that falsely processes to favor
the submission of a prohibition amend
ment, but really hasn't yet made up its
mind what it is going to do in that re-
gard.
Republican defeat would clearly be
the greatest prohibitionist victory pos
sible at this stage of the agitation. Re-
publican defeat this year might, and
very probably would, make the Repub-
lican party real prohibitionist party
next year.

John A. Anderson Accepts the Re.
Nomination for Congress.

MANHATTAN, KAS., Aug. 81, 1885.
Hon. Writ W. Walton, Chairman Republican
Congressional Committee, Fifth district, Clay
Center, Kansas:
MY DEAR SIR In accordance with
the action of the Republican party of
this district as expressed by its repre-
sentatlves in the convention held at
Clay Center, July 30, 1886, and in
accordance with the wishes of MANY
other voters, l hereby accept the nomi-
nation then made and the platform then
adopted, and place myself in the hands
OF the congressional committee tor such
a canvass as it may arrange, and in the
hands OF the people for such final action
as they may deem best.
Yours truly,
JOHN A. ANDERSON.
From the above it will be seen that
the Hon. John a. Anderson does not
recognize in the least the convention
held at COncOrdia and that Mr.. Wilson
and his faction are entirely unknown to
him, but yet it is manly and unequivo-
cal acceptance of the honor which true
republicans have insisted all the time
he should have.

The weather outlook is more favor
able this morning than has been for
some days. Farm work has been
much retarded for sometime.
Farmers will soon finish up their
crops, but ought not to be too hasty
in quitting their blowing. Crops that
have been somewhat neglected ought
to be left in goodcondition, and there
will then be no need of complaint.
God provides rain, sunshine, heat,
and cold. He also gives us life,
health and strength, and tells us to
work, and if we will only work, we
will always be provided with plenty,
and after all, we can truly and sin
cerely pray, "Give us this day our
daily bread" Praying though with
out work, never brings any bread
honestly. Let us work more as well
as watch and pray.
