JUST MEDICATION.

In causing the arrest If John l.. Sui
Ivan, which has resulted in having the
slugger sentenced to years imprison-
ment, Governor Lowry, OF Mississippi,
has come near immortalizing his
name in the hearts of all who hold to
the supremacy and majesty of law.
Laws are enacted not only for the pun
ishment of offenders, but for the
protection of the people. There is
ever enough evil resulting from the
breaking of a law, but when such law
law is not only broken, but its penal
ties winked at by those whose business
it is to administer justice, then outrage
is added to crime and the people have
good reason to fear that their lives and
property are in jeopardy.
In going from the North to the
South to perpetrate an unlawful act,
the pugilists and their abettors tacitly
declared to the world that the laws of
the Southern States were only nomi-
nal regulations, and that they could be
violated at the pleasure of evil-doers.
Thus, in seeking an obscure hamlet in
the State of Mississippi to carry out
the programme of brutal and demon.
alizing exhibition, the Executive OF
that State was openly defied and in.
suited. But the principals and their
blatant adherents are beginning to
find out with whom they have to deal
that there is apower behind the throne
and a requisite degree of majesty in
the law, after all.
John L. Sullivan "went up like 8
rocket and came down like stick
His regal journey from New York te
New Orleans was only the farsica
journey of free citizen to the prison
house. When it was reported tina,
Sullivan and Kilrain had eyaded thu
officers OF Mississippi, fought out theil
fight and left the State scot free, anG
hurting defiance at their pursuers
many good people begun either te
question the moral pursuance of Gov.
ernor Lowry or mistrust him as q
chief magistrate and man of honor
But the Governor knew what he was
was about, and We fancy he called to
mind the apothegm, "The mills of the
gods grind slow, but they grind
exceedingly fine" and the men were
in the grip of the law, just the
same, and justice is vindicated.
This is all Governor Lowry wanted,
and now in the greatness of his
big heart he is actuated by the
throes of common humanity, and if re-
ports do not misrepresent the facts in
the case, he will relent enough to
soften somewhat the sentences of the
principal actors, perhaps releasing
them altogether from imprisonment
and exacting only a fine.
Be this as it may, the law has been
honored in the prompt action of the
grand jury of sovereign State in find
ing true bill, and by the efforts of
the Prosecuting Attorney in convict
ing the offenders.
Pugilists will hereafter understand
that the moral power of the people is
stronger than thews of flesh. Governor
Lowry is deserving, to-day, of far
greater ovation than was rendered
Slugger Sullivan on his transit from
New York to the Gulf, and his men,
ory will lay in the hearts of posterity
while the name of the great champion
rots in oblivion.

A letter-writer in the Republican Par
tisdn of the 18th inst, signing himself
or herself "KANsAN," takes some excep-
tons to an article published in the
EVENING OLYMPIAN of Aug. 18th.
So far ~ concerns the statistical
matter We presented, there can be no
question - to its truthfulness. II
anybody will send q small fee to those
who have the custodianship of the
proper records in Kansas, he can re.
ceive certified copy of the entire Of
fetal history Of the prohibition ques-
ton in that State. We stated moth
ing - facts but what can be found
upon the official records in the States
towns and cities where the prohibition
plan has been tried. Those facts are
oil On the same side and all taken to-
gether, they constitute an overwhelm-
ing avalanche of arguments against
the very genius and principle of prohi-
bition.
After quoting what we stated about
the prohibitory law in Kansas, the
writer says: at is true that the pro-
hibitory law of Kansas, as first enacted,
drove large number of saloon keepers
into the drug business, owing to the
absence of a pharmacy law, but the wri-
ter of the above ought to know that
the change in name from saloon to
drugstore would not increase the
number of licenses, as the saloon IL
cense would be equally good for q drug
store. His explanation, therefore, of
the increase in the number of licenses
issued is not the correct one"
The article in the EVENING OLYx-
PLAN was not written to provoke con.
troversy, but to place before the peo-
pie true record Of the career of pro-
hibition since its first trial in the Uni
ted States. We cited more than twen-
ty instances where . prohibitory law
had been duly enacted and every one
OF the twenty instances proved a la
inevitable failure. As to the technical
explanation of the increase OF licenses
in Kansas We have nothing in addition
to what has been said. We undertake
simply to say, or rather to reiterate
what has already been said, that the
enactment of a prohibitory law in
Kansas largely increased liquor IL
censes, fact implying that the sale
of intoxicating liquors was rather in
creased than diminished in that State.
The reason we did not cite the Kan
sas liquor statistics of 1888, was SIM
ply because those statistics had not
come to hand when the article was
written.
1t is enough to say that the expert
ence of actual trial proves prohibition
TO be q failure.

that a hundred tons OF merchantable
apples and pears rotted on the ground
last year, and there will be as MANY

will keep till winter, if carefully picked,
boxed and kept dry. If there is not
