We publish in this issue by

we puDllsn III this Issue b,
request, the resolutions adopted
at a recent meeting of the w. G. T
Y. In this city. We call attention t,
this fact because part of the res
olutions would be out of place in
any paper. BY referring to the
resolutions it will be seen that the
first SIX contain nothing of gen.
eral interest, neither can they
do any good or any harm, and
this should be enough to ba,
their publication unless paid
Tor at SO much per line.
The seventh resolution contains
charge on positive knowledge, as
they declare, that we think does
the ". c. 1. L. a great injustice,
for 1t makes them aiders and alb bet-
tors of crime and secret violations
of law. If they know that law is
being violated by druggists and
others, it is their duty to present
that knowledge in proper form to
the proper authorities, and such
violations of law will certainly be
suppressed. As an evidence of
what we say our Circuit Judge has
quite recently assessed heavy pen
allties on parties for violating the
law mentioned. Every sane man
or woman has, not only, the right,
but it is his or her duty to make
any violation of law known in
proper form, and at the proper
time and place. If this is done
and there is, then, a failure to en-
force the law, a citizens league.
spoken of in the resolution, would
be III order. But when the organ
ization, with its knowledge that
the law is being violated and with
every facility at command to sup
press the violations, does nothing,
the organization is placed in the
position of an abettor of crime.
The eighth resolution casts a
more serious reflection on
the organization than it does on
the county officials. The sweeping
declaration that all our officials are
abettlng crime is a charge that
should not be credited by the mas
ses, as declarations are never on
sidered true till evidence of tn cir
truthfulness is furnished, and can
only serve to make the people have
less confidence in the organization
and more confidence in the Off
,ials. With the knowledge they
leclare themselves to be in the |
possession of, it would be an easy
matter, not only to have the Off |
sials removed but could also visit |
lpon them tie severest punish
nent.

Last. year the Conference of Law
yers In France gave judgement that a
husband has the right to control his
Wife's correspondence, and TO open
and read her letters. A similar case
has been brought up for decision, aud
again the verdict has gone against the
wife. The question this time was
whether q woman may publish book
or have a dramatic work performed
without her husbands consent. The
lawyers have decided that she may
nOt.-E.rchGnge.
Only a few years ago it was the Law
of some southern states that a husband
might ohastise his wife with a rod
whenever It pleased him to do so
Some men believe that their wife is
their property the same as their horse
and some think that a women has nc
legal rights more than a minor As
the world advances IN intelligence
the condition Of women becomes
more tOlerabie.

Major J. K. Hudson, of the Topeka
Capital, writes an article in the Kan
sas Farmer on the subject of ponds
of water. He thinks the economic
value Of a good pond of water is not
altogether appreciated. It gives not
only water IN abundance at all sea
sons for the farm stock, but saves
lives of valuable animals in seasons
Of drouth, adds to the health and
general condition and proftableness
Of the horses, cattle and hogs at all
times, also adds to the climatic in
fuences which bring rain. : A good
pond of water of one acre or more on
every farm in Kansas would do more
to bring seasonable rains than, any
other influence. The farmer who
stores a generous supply of water on
his farm for winter and summer, not
only adds to the comfort and profit
of his stock, but adds more than
double the cost of the pond to the
value of his farm. An observation of
more than twenty years in Kansas,
convinces him that not one farm in
ten in our State has adequate supply
of water for. all seasons, that the cost
of securing such a supply has been
Overestimated, that the benefit Of
such ponds have been under esti-
mated and that no Investment that a
farmer can make in Kansas to-day
will return to him One-tenth as much
profit in dollars and cents and as
great satisfaction as making a pond
for stock,,water. 1t is not uncommon
to see cattle and other farm animals
driven a mile or more every season,
once o.. possibly twice per day for
water. On many farms where there
are ample arrangements for housing
and feeding stock, good homes built,
convenient barns and good fences, the
important item of plenty of water has
been overlooked. There is scarcely
100 acres of land in Kansas that does
not present in some part Of it a suit
able place for making a pond. 1t
will pay big as an investment, and in
the satisfaction every humane man
feels in providing well for the dumb
brutes in his care, and it viii pay as
a contribution towards securing more
/ frequent rains. The best time to be
gin making a pond is HOlr.

Secretary Endicott has given a
large order for army blankets to an
English manufacturer whose bid was
thirty cents lower than that Of his
American competitors. By not paying
any duty to itself the government
gets the goods slightly below cost in
this country. American enterprises
and labor are left in the lurch, and
the price of blankets goes ont OF the
country. From this instance the
people can learn the results of Stree
trade" No doubt there are many
Who viii argue that the secretary
acted in the best interests Of the
country. Some how or other the
present administration seems to be in
love with Great Britain and every
thing that is English. She may suit
Mr.. Cleveland and his cabinet, but
the people do not endorse such a
course.

The Democratic State Convention.

The Democratic State Convention.
The Democratic State Convention
convened at Leavenworth, July 4th,
and nominated the following ticket:
For Governor, John Martin, of Tope-
ka; For Lient. Governor, II. NJ
Moore, Of Lesvenworth; for Secre-
tar Of State, Allen G. Thurman, of
Lsbett county; for Auditor, w. H
Wilhoit, Of Miami county; for State
Treasurer, w. H. White, of Morris
county; for State Superintendent Of
Public instruction, c. NJ. Cole, of
Phillips county; for Associate JUS
tice Of Supreme Court, w. P. Camp
bell, of Wichita; for Attorney Gen
eral, G. F. Diffenbocker, of Barton
county. The platform endorses Pres
ident Cleveland, declares for tariff re-
form and opposes Sumptuary Laws.
A resolution was offered demanding
the resubmission of the Prohibitory
Liquor Law when a regular storm of
debate and hair pulling began. The
most violent abuse was poured out
against the temperance people of the
state and against the Prohibitory
Law. The LeavenwOrth Times in
giving an account of the row says:
After a prolonged and sanguinary
battle, during which delegates were
[ ks,vr = = ID
! vituperated and abused, a motion was
made to proceed to a vote. AT times
| the convention became a perfect pan
demonium Men became uncOntrOl
ably angry. Hard words were ex-
changed. Never before was a con
/ test more bitter or more hOtly con
tested. The grounds taken by the
/ friends Of the amendment were the
same old grounds and the same ole
/ worn out frantic appeals to persona
liberty"
The resolution was defeated by I
vote Of Dos. to 237, but the resolution
against prohibitOry laws passed by al
overwhelming majority.
The Democratic party Of Kansas i
/ again on record as the OpOlogists anC
friend and defender of the saloon
and the enemy of all laws looking to
ward the curtailing of the monstrou
evil wrought by the liquor traffic
/ The Democratic party if it were RICH
.oR.eyery thing else is so badly wroni
on the saloon question that it shoult
be defeated for this if for NOTHING
else. It is encouraging, aiding ant
strengthening the most colossal ours
of the world by befriending liquo
selling and liquor drinking.

Biemarok o. Protectlon.

In powerful speech delivered by
Prince Bismarck before the German
Reiehstag, on May IA, 1882. the great
Chancellor said:
''The success of the United States
IN material development is the most
iIlustrious OF modern time. The
American nation has not only success
fully borne and suppressed the most
gigantic and expensive war Of all his
tory, but Immediately afterwards dis
banded It's army, found employment
for all It's soldiers and marines, paid
of most of the debts, given labor and
homes to all unemployed Of Europe
as fast as they could arrive within It's
territory, and still by a system Of tax
alton so indirect as not to be perceived
much less felt.
Because it is my deliberate Judge
ment that the prosperity of America
is mainly due to the system of pro
tective laws I urge that Germany has
now reached that point where it IS
necessary TO initiate the tariff system
OF the United States"

The KirWin Independent last week
in mentioning c. A Lewis Grafton at
that place July 4th represents Mr..
Lewis as dealing in a good deal Of
''anti-monOpoly sop" Now is It not
a little strange that the United Labor
papers think that no body has any
right to oppose monopolies and trusts
except themselves? Why should not
Mr.. Lewis oppose wrong as well as
the TIsdepa,derlt editor7 Mr. Lewis
informs IA that he did not denounce
trusts and monOpolies any more Wig
orously than does the Republican
Platform.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1888-07-13

Why hold joint discussions between
Republicans and anti-mOnopolists.
Republicans are anti-monopOlists, are
progressive men, are opposed to
trusts, and combinations that work IN
jury to tie interests Of the great Ia
boring masses. The Republican
platform rings ont with the true ring
on that question. This being so,
there is no conflict between Repub-
icans and any true anti-mOnopOlist.
The fight that Republicans have is
not with anti-monopolists but against
the nen-progressive, monopolisticl
free-tFade, whiskey defending, ballot
box-stafing Democratic party. AL
true anti-monopoIists, all eonscien-
tiOua, level-headed, patriotic 1aboring
men and Greenbackers ought in all
reason to vote this year for Harrison
and 1sorton and against Cleveland
and Thurman.

for the relief Of the starving people
of Ireland In 1880 a company en-

five thousand workmen were unable
to obtain their wages. Certificates of
indebtedness were issued to them,

could not buy food or clothing for

vailed. Mr.. Morton came forward,

give a like amount, and cashed all the
