SENATOR INGALLS, ON PRoHlBl
TON.

The Chautauqnan for February
contains an article from Senator In
gals on prohibition in Kansas, in
which the following paragraph
appears:
Prohibition is so rigidly enforced
that there is not an open dram shop
or saloon from the Missouri river to
Colorado. The consumption of alco-
holic liquors has not ceased. A vast
amount of beer, whisky and other in
toxicants is imported surreptitiously
by individuals and convivial associa-
tons. The drug stores dispose of i'm
mense quantities of bitters and elixirs
for indigestion and malaria, which
seem to be alarmingly prevalent in 10
calities heretofore considered remark
ably salubrious; but the barroom has
disappeared. am not believer in
prohibition as PRACTICAL remedy for
the evils of intemperance. 1t dimin-
ishes but does not destroy them. The
appetite that Graves indulgence will
be gratified often at the expense of
other moral restraints WHICH are the
barriers and safeguards of society.
My disbelief in prohibition renders
me more disinterested observer of
its results, and l do not hesitate to-
say that though attended with some
tendencies, 1t has been of
great advantage to the state. both
and from the material and
standpoint. Very few, if
any, of it's citizens, would willingly
return to the dominion of the dram
shop with its attendant crimes, disor-
der and social misery. Whether the
people would prefer prohibition to
high license, l am not sure; but be-
tween prohibition and free whisky
they would be practically unanimous
Tor prohibition.

was seriously afflicted with severe cold,
that settled on his lungs: had tried many
remedies without benefit. Being induced
to try DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, did so. and was. entirely
cured by use of few bottles. Since
which time he has used it in his family
