cute the same q criminal actions for sell

| object of the suits was to abate the places "a

that had been brought had resulted In q
| verdict Of mot guilty" The verdict of
guilty In the case OF tee state W. Lau was
! the first verdict of guilty ever rand .-ed IN

though several months had been consumed
| By me to convic. some one for that c-ime.
4 L is fair to sly that had the defendant been
| sent to the county jail that he would have
been released OF a writ Of habeas corpus, for
| the reason that there Is no Law for the i'm
prisonment Of the defendant in a civil ac-
| ton, hence tbs Judgment of the court in each
| Of the four cases, tia: perpetual junction

ants, perpetually e1joinicg them from sell

Section 10, chapter 149, laws of 1855, pro-
yldeS that the county attorney shall be a.
lowed fee of 225 upon each cou1. upon
which the defeldsn. shall be convicted, and
that the same shall be taxed as costs In tie
same. The same section provides tha. the
| attorney general shall receive the same fee
as the county s.torasy n the event that the
| attorney general prosec1ses instead of the
court, Hon. Q. W. Curtain, ce.tifes among
| other things. that the following order was

THAT by order of the said court, S. B.
Bradford. Esq, was allowed as reasonable
attorneys fee In Eaid case the sum of S25,

Received of the clerk of the district court
of Leavenwcrth county, Kansas, the sum of
S25 in full for ny fees in the above entitled
cause. s. B. BRADFORD,
| Attorney General
| It seems that this Christian Temperance
| woman not only demands OF the attorney
general that he shall prosecats increasingly.
| hut that he shall do so without compensa-
ton. 1t is also demanded that rise and
explain ~hy it is that persons in Argentine
against whom / have procured injunctions,
have not been punished because they have
continuously violated the injunctions, and
are clearly in contempt OF court.
Poor woman, does she not know
! that these injunctiors were procured
after the regular term of court hsd closed,
| and that since thst time the court has not
convened: that it does not convene until the
| third Monday In September, and tina. the
| Judge at chambers cannot punish for con-
! tempt for violations OF these inlunctions. l
| apprehend that she knows of this, but true
| to the policy pursued by her party leaders,
| she refuses to acknowledge the truth that
| injury to republican and the republican
| Cause may follow.
To cap the climax and to astonish the
world with display of her wisdom, the
of no
perance Union of Kansas, asks as follows:
perhaps. too, he might tell what the
metropolitan police in Wyandotte, now
known as Kansas City, Kansas, are doing,
and why, when arrests are made, the Grim
mails are reprimanded and released"
lean tell some things that the metropoli-
tan police of Kansas City, Kansas, are do
ing. They are arresting men for selling in
toxicating liquors and reporting their
names, and the names OF the witnesses By
whom the ofense can be proven to a county
attorney elected in Wyandotte county by
the democratic party assisted by the third
party, and this same democratic third party
ecute these Gases 50 reported.
The metropolitan police of Kansas
City, kas., are 2rrestlng these men, MT
withstanding the fact that the city council
of said city has refused from time to time
to pass an ordinance giving them authority
after they are arrested. They also refused
to pass any ordinance permitting the police
Judge of the city OF Kansas City, kas.,
whose appointment emanates from the
same authority that appoints the metro
poll an police, to punish these people for
the crime they have committed, and they re-
fuse to pass any ordinance to aid or assist
the metropolitan police in carrying
into effect the provisions of the
proh;bitory Law. The metropolitan
police force has been go managed,
and has been go efficient in its work that it
has collected and turned into the city treas
urer of the city Of Kansas City. Kan, more
lie expense of the city. The Metropolitan
police force of Kansas City, Kan, is self
sustaining which ia more than can be said
Of the third party.
Charge after charge of this kind has BEEN
made, emanating from the same class of
people, and the same object. to-wit: The
overthrow of the republican party. As
have before stated, pay but little attention
to these slanderous reports as rule, but In
this case it is too glazing, and the cause
represent as en- officer and as partisan Is
too eacred to allow the vile SANDER to 60
unheeded. The Woman's Christian Tenn
pererce Union Of Kansas is made to
do duty as barricade behind which rank
third party democracy may cover and
criupe. It is safe to say that I have had
more experience and trouble in enforcing
prohibition legislation than any man west
of the Mississippi river. l have had to en-
counter and do battle With al sorts OF shams,
obstacles and dangers. have to deal with
all sorts of men and women. and all CON-
p,exions of political faith. OF all the classes
with which have had to deal, of all tho
obstacles have had to contend and do bat
| tie with, the so-called third party has been
the most unreasonable, unjust, un-
fair and untruthful. TIE conduct of its
| leaders has been the bulwarks Of the
opposition to prohibition IN Kansas. There
| is no source from which the opposition to
prohibition in Kansas receives more conso-
lation than they do from the earnings of
this so-called third party. They may not
| intend doing so, but their bitter opposition
| to the republican party has led them into
| that rut, and there is no possible escape Tor
| them, except to 60 over to the democratic
party. If you show them the original rec
| ords, that record only three internal rev.
enue stamps issued in Kansas,
| with ner population of 100000, to
| wholesale liquor dealers, and they are ready
| to charge corruption on the part OF the col
Iector of revenues. Snow them the official
records in the hands of the collector and
count the ], 139 revenue stamps sold to all
