strangers to each Other, but through in
telligent interchange of experiences
became very friendly, and freely dis
cussed the thousand and one topics of

how politics was going to effect the
liquor Interest came ~. "Oh." says
the agent, "the old parties are all
right, but the party that goes in for
prOhibitory laws will eventually pre-
vail, as the women are all on that side.
All over the country, north and south
east and west, the women are moving
into line on this question, and whisky
has got to goI Why they are q unit On
this question. You wouldn't believe
it, but my wife (Heaven bless her. be-
longs to the w. G. T. u. and she is
frightened almost to death at my abso-
lutte exposure to the baneful effects of
its use, but I never use the vile stuff, I
wouldn't any more drink q glass of it
than I'D cut my hand of. No sir,
prohibition sooner or later will win and
the women are gong to be the main
factor, they are solid, they won't sell,
dicker, nor get out of the way, and the
liquor interest knows it. They under.
stand that when the ballot goes into
the hands of women, the jig is all up,
and they will have to submit to the
inevitable. Prohibition is right, but
my bread and butter is in whiskey,
and it is big pay, hence I'm in the
business" Now Mrs. Editress, If the
opposition recognize this wonderful
influence of women in politics, in the
name of all that is sound in policy,
keep your ranks solid for equal suf-
frage. Yours fo- progress,

Allen County C0yrant. (Dem.): In
naming Geo. w. Winans of juno
ton City, for the State Superintend-
ency, the republican convention also
did the fittest thing. There can be no
question of Mr.. Winans ability to do
much for the schools of Kansas. juno
ton City sent one Of the brightest
school men of the west from her schools
to the State Superintendent's Office in
the person of Mr.. FL. G. Speer and now
that Winans is likely to get the place
it is our sincere wish to see him do
even more than he who laid such q
good and strong foundation.

THE latest WASHINGTON sensati0n II
the ann ouncement that in case the
Senate refuses to confirm the fisheries
treaty the President will make oc-
casion to declare non.intercourse with
Canada, and 30 bring on . coils
ion with England. The object Of all
this is, Of course, to distract public at
tention from the tariff issue and call
back the Irish vote. That such ex-
treme measures will be resorted to is
hard to believe; that they have been
even suggested shows how badly the
Cleveland crowd IL scared.

CONGRESSMAN PETERS does not talk
for Buncombe. When he gives It - his
settled conviction that Cleveland will
get nothing but the Solid South and
possibly not al Of that, it may be de-
pended in that things look pretty dark

connection it might be stated that the

odds on Cleveland at the beginning Of
the campaign, are now betting six to
i've that Harrison will be elected.

railroad tax should be equally divided
all over the township, and as we are
going to send Mr.. Lacy back to Tope-
ka, we outsiders will expect him to
rectify this law in some way so as to
divide up equally with all the school
districts in the township; as all the
Taxpayers in the township help to pay
these bonds, so, also, all taxpayers
should receive their pro rata. wish
you could explain this matter to the

QUESTIONS ANsW1RED.

Two weeks ago "Sam Graham" asked
through the columns of the REGISTER,
the following questions:
l. Is there any tariff on spurious
liquor and tobacco?
2. Does the w. e. T. U. advocate
the removal of such duty, along with
the internal revenue tax?
8. II 90, would republicans be justi-
fled in pronouncing the organization to
be in favor of free trade?
An answer was requested from some
member of the w. G. T. u, but as none
has yet been offered, and as the ques.
lions were asked in good faith, we VEN
ture to reply to them.
l. There is . tariff on spirituous
liquors and tobacco.
2. We do not know that the w. G.
T. U has stated its position on the ques.
ton of tariff on liquors and tobacco.
The third party-which Sam Graham
probably had in mind-would alto
gether prohibit the importation of liq-
uor, but says nothing about tobacco
except to demand the removal of the
internal tax upon it.
/. 8. This would depend altogether on
the position hled by the organization
in regard to the other industries. AS
matter of fact the republican party
does not concern itself about the posi-
ton of the w. G. T. U. on the tariff
question for the reason that it is not a
political organization, and it's opinion
therefore cuts no figure in political
contest.

oIHHIAL sHYIrDAN .

The death Of General Sheridan, re-
ported on our inside pages. removes
from the stage Of this worlds action q
man who was altogether the most
| picturesque figure Of our Civil War
Born with veins full Of the belligerent
blood Of his Celtic ancestry, he was q
fighter by nature and 1t was inevitable
that he should become soldier by
education and practice. He gloried In
war. Not in the cold-blooded, machine
part Of 1t, the part that sits In tent
and ssues orders for somebody else to
execute. But in the actual conflict In
the smoke and dust and roar and
fierce excitement Of the front ranks.
Wherever there was "beautiful
fighting" to use his own phrase, there
he delighted to be. Dashing, impetu-
Gus, marvellous in perception, light
ming in execution, he was the Murat
of the American Army. Witness his
heroism that disastrous day at Stone
River; see him at Mission Ridge, with
laughing defiance drinking to the
rebel general on the heights, joking
about the shell that showers him
with sand and dirt, swinging his cap
in the shower of bullets, waving his
triumphant sword over the abandoned
breastworks of the retreating enemy at
the top of the hill; follow his furious
ride from Winchester, "twenty miles
away" and see how like q very God
of battle he gallops down the retreat
ing lines, pointing to the enemy shout
ing, "Face the other way boys; face
the other way. Well lick 'em YETI,
snatching victory from the jaws OF
defeat; see him sweeping down the
Shenandoah; circling around Rich
mond. always in the right place at
the right time;" hectoring the life out
of Lee in his last despairtng fight;
blocking his pathway once for all at
Appomattcx. That was Phil Sheri.
dan in his element, Little Phil"
plucky, audacious, tireless, fearless,
invincible, fighting with gay heart
the battles Of his country.
He is dead now. God rest his soul,
and may his country ever hold his
name in grateful memory.
