WHY?

General Bradford says that since
Kansas adopted the prohibitory law
her population has increased at the
rate of 100, 900 year. Prohibition, of
course, is not to be credited with all
this increase, but it is entitled to
large share of it. People desire state
to bring up their children in that is free
from the curse of the liquor traffic
Emporia Republican.
General Bradford ought to have more
sense than to make any such fool state
ment. If prohibition should be enti-
tied to the credit for our rapid increase
in population, pray explain why Cali
fornia has within the last few months
been increasing in population at more
rapid rate than any agricultural state
has ever heretofore been known to?
1t most assuredly has not been caused
by prohibition.
Prohibition is very good thing.
But it is not exactly cure of all evils
or the canse of all good things that may
happen.
Indeed, it is in many respects like
some patent medicines we know of
which admirers claim will cure any and
every i'll which flesh is heir to, but
which sometimes, when used in wrong
manner, is liable to result in more in
jury than benefit.
An instance Of this kind occurred in
this Office but few days ago. One OF
the employees who had great faith in
st. Jacobs oil. on being taken with
cramps, Immediately resorted to his
neYer-failing remedy. But, instead OF
carefully reading the directions, and
taking but drop or two on a lump OF
sugar, he, in his pain, placed the bottle
to his lips and took about half tea
spoonful. This he repeated severa
times. The result was that THE New
came near losing it's pressman, or tn,
pressman came near losing his kid
i, neys.
A similar comparison can be made a
, regards prohibition: When fanatics
and extremists go prating round tn
streets with the old pharsaical; Cry o
II am better than thou sticking thei
, noses into every one elses business
and, in their efforts after notoriety ant
; pelf, maligning our best people b,
printing their names as buyers O
liquors and advertising our druggist
as whisky dealers-then prohibition
! like st. Jacobs oil wrongly applied,
liable to do more harm than good, an
cause the real friends Of temperate
much disgust and humiliation.
: These cranks, like the sanctimoniou
hypocrites who belong to churches onl
: to use them as clocks for their nasty
ness, are reproach to the causes the
claim to advocate.
t Brother Bradford should better col
I fine himself to facts, instead of fiction
I if he has the cause of temperance &
heart. But we have seen it insinuate
that James is simply a prohibitionil
: for the money there is in it.

A Wnman,s Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by lady in
in this country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest test, but
her vital organs were undetermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought of us a
bottle of DIR. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption and was SO much re-
lieved on taking first dose that sh'
slept all night and with one bottle hal
been miraculously cured. Her name

THE largest pension ever paid to a
private soldier in the United States,
or, perhaps in the world, has just been
granted to an Illinois veteran named
John Smith, who is at present living
at Mount Sterling, KY. He viii re-
his life. His disability is total blind
ness, and Gen, Black, upon learning
the facts in the case, had it called up
and made special. The present adj
ministration is doing. great deal to
disappoint that class of demagogues
who prophesied that the election of
Mr.. Cleveland would annul all claims
of union soldiers to the care and con-
sideration of the Recommendation
City Star.
President Cleveland is stronger with
the old soldiers of this country than he
was before Fairchild and Tuttle began

to abuse him. Their attacks served to
call attention TO the work Of the PEN
sion department and it has been asceT-
tanned that Gen. Black is a good friend
as the veterans ever had.-Leaven-
worth Standard.
Rats! 1t is wonderful how much
these friends Of Mr.. Cleveland know
about the old soldiers about as much
as he himself. ANY one who thinks
Cleveland strong with the old soldiers
should read up on the action of the
posts as regards the G. A. r. pension
bill to be pushed during this session of
congress. It has the endorsement Of
nearly every ex-union soldier in the
country. Yet it is almost indenticalIy
the same as the one vetoed by CIeve-
land. AS to Gen. Black, he is the only
redeeming feature of the Cleveland adj
ministration, in the eyes of the old
soldiers, who all, both democrats and
republicans. greatly admire the old
hero. Cleveland men are scarce as
hens teeth among the old soldiers
Hill would be a much more popular
man, SO far as this element is con
cerned.

THE gentleman who runs the kan
sas Notes" column in the Kansas City
Star seems to delight in throwing little
dirty slurs and inuendoes at Emporia.
Probably this is because he has heard
that some of our citizens have ex-
pressed doubts that he earned the sal
airy paid him by our board of trade
when hired to edit ''write-up' of this
town. Judging by the staleness of the
column he now edits, he is doing no
better journalistic work for the Star
than he did when in this place. The
Star managing editor should read the
Kansas Notes column once in a while,
if he cares for his Kansas subscription
list.

IT not turns out that the prohibition
state convention which the council in
vited here is nothing more nor less
than a third party convention to
nominate state ticket. When the in
vitatiOn was given it was on the un-
derstanding that it was the state tenn
perance union, a non-partisan organ
ization. The third party scheme has
few sympathizers here, and probably
if the sense of the community was
taken it would be found that Wichita
or Salina was perfectly welcome to
them. The man or woman who adj
vocates a third party movement in
state affairs in Kansas. in the light OF
the republican party on that question
is an enemy to prohibition none the
less because he disavows such an in.
tention. The proper place for the
third party convention to meet, in oul
judgment, is in some democratic

IT is terrible arraignment of the sa-
looms of Kansas City made by Judge
White in his recent charge to the grand
jury. He said: There seems to be too
little rigidity in the requirement for
applicants for these licenses, and, as a
matter of course, disreputable charac-
tiers and criminals are behind the ma
jority of the bars of this city, crime is
rapidly on the increase, and the saloons
kept by this class of men are breeding
places for crime. Something should be
done, and that Immediately, for the
closing of these sink-hoIes Of vice, and

The new Omcers sworn I'm.

Monday the new county officers
were sworn into their respective po-
sitions and entered upon their duties.
In Saturday mornings issue we re-
ferred to this change, giving the new
officers a word of encouragement, and
the old, a word of comfort. In addi-
tion, we have to note the fact that in
the reorganization of the county board
of county commissioners, John S.
Grimsley becomes chairman, and Mr..
William Flickinger supply agent.
Mr.. Lakin will re-appoint John H. Har-
rison deputy county clerk. Mr.. Moore
has appointed w. E. Bray deputy reg
lister of deeds. Sheriff Worster took
an inventory of the prisoners in the
jail and with L. r. Vernon as under
sheriff and W. P. Wilcox as deputy,
appeared to be ready for business. Ex-
Sheriff White vacated the jailor's
residence Monday and located at
l ,02O Congress street. We hardly know
which to congratulate, those who
passed out or those who passed in-those
who laid down the responsibilities OF
those who took them up.

An Open Letter TO senator stewart.
EMPORIA, Jan. 10, 1888.
Hon. VIM. NJ. Stewart, United States Senator.
DEAR Sir:-As citizen of the United
States, who, though republican, has
often voted for an honest and intelli-
gent democrat, and will again " whenever
such democrat is pitted against an in
competent or dishonest republican, I
do most earnestly protest, in the name
of the large majority of American citi-
Zens, democrats and republicans,
against the confirmation of Secretary
Lamar for justice of the United States
democrat, not because he is south
erner, not because he was traitor to
his country, for millions of our south
ern citizens were sincere and honest in
their treason, and are now sincere and
honest in their allegiance to our
whole country, but do protest in the
name of truth and justice, in the name
of humanity, in the name of common
| decency, against his confirmation to
that high, and above all other, should
be pure Office, justice of the supreme
court. Are you going to put upon the
bench to try perjurers purjuror him
self? Are you going to elevate to the
highest judicial Office in the world,
to try men for crime, a criminal him.
self? A man who was sopartisan him.
self, so head and shoulders above all
other partisans, as to order the flag of
his country, that sacred symbol Of
humanity and liberty to be lowered to
half mast, in honor of the man who
out-Heroded Herod in his treason, who,
worse than Judas Iscariot, attempted
through the introduction of infected
clothing from Canada into New York,
Philadelphia and other large cities, to
introduce smallpox into those cities
for the purpose of decimating and pois-
oning our people without regard to age
or sex? Oh, Mr.. Stewart, cast aside
friendship: cast aside every other con-
sideration but that of your duty to
your country and to humanity the
world over, and vote against his con-
firmation.
For this act, Senator Stewart, if for
no other, I call upon you in the name
Of ifty-miIions of our people, in the
name of everything you hold sacred,
to pause before committing the unpar-
donable sin Of eleyating to the supreme
bench of your country man who could
issue an order to lower to half mast
the flag of his country in honor of a
perjurer and poisoner. Respectfully
yours. WILLIAM JAY.

AN Atlanta special of yesterday

liquor law in Atlanta is the blacklist.

is furnished to all liquor dealers, who
under a penalty of $500 fine, are for
hidden to sell him liquor within one
year. The first case has already de-
veloped, being that of Peter Dunlay.
He was first convicted December 20,
and now for the second time is again
convicted, and his name stands at the
