SENATOR INGALLS, seems to think
that prohibition is good thing,
Judging by his observations of it out
in Kansas. "Tho prohibition peo-
pie" he says, have the prohibition
law-that's what they wanted-and
the whisky drinkers have all the
whisky they want" Possibly the
people of the District Of Columbia
would be satisfied with such a solu-
tion of the qucstion-possibly not.

THERE'S \ NrcE, quiet boom set up
down South for Senator Sherman in
the nature of two-page supplement
sent to every Republican paper in that
section from headquarters in Wash
ington. 1t contains a picture of the
Ohio Senator, with his late tariff
speech; Garfeld's speech nominating
Mr.. Sherman in 1880 at Chicago, a
letter from Judge Lawrence on the
wool tariff, a picture Of the Home of
the Republican National League In
Washington, and Il whole lot of other
valuable information that Mr.. Blaine
would not be particularly interested
in. AS gentle hint to the Republi-
cans Of the South, it is certainly worth
the price of subscription. We notice,
however, one serious defect in the
document-the omission of any refer
ence to the late Republican Conven-
ton at Willard Hall, which elected
Sherman delegates to Chicago.
