proposition is an exploded and well-ngh antiquated
idea anyhow. 1t is superanuated notion, which
serves but LITTLE purpose today At best it is only
an old mummy dressed up in new clothes There
was time when such a cry had in it the merit, if
merit it is, Of novelty; but that day has has gone
by forever. Less than hundred years ago it
daWned upon the minds of some that the saloons
had the best OF the fight with the temperance
people. While the temperance societies were pick
ing up and saving a few, the saloons were alluring
and destroying its multitudes. Something must
be done to reduce this evil The saloons must be
lessened. Instead of wping them out altogether
they thought to restrict the evil by reducing the
number of saloons and putting them into better
hands. Men are forever bent-eyen good men
often-on trying the wrong thing first They learn
finally to take the right only because they exhaust
themselves in trying the wrong. The right is so
radical that a substitute or compromise is always
tried first This is why John the Baptist and
Jesus were out of joint with the age in which they
lived They were for laying the axe at the root of
the tree. Others were for getting at the root by
the way OF the branches, and so they had no use
Tor John or Jesus. AS then, so now and ever
Restriction rather than prohibition must be tried
Restriction sounds well, and SO it found favor. and
saloons were allowed to such persons only as had
license But did it restrict? Did the evils of in
temperance disappear? Where is the historian
who dares affirm they did? The evils undated,
the stream unchecked, other attempts became
necessary and SO our license laws have been
changed and remodeled and tinkered in the per-
slstent hope that they would ultimately work. till
those very men who have most faithfully and con-
scentlously worked them have abandoned them in
despair as bulwarks and entertainments built for
their foe and not for themselves To all such men
rohibition-uncondtiona and absolute prohibit
tlon-is the advance and determined watchword of
the hour. Such is history And hence, to advo-
cate the sentiment ''Keep temperance out of the
political arena is to utter the cry of belated
Kip Van Wrinkle. Years ago. when the question
first came into the political arena, such cry was
uttered, and many were thereby alarmed They
feared that its becoming political question would
interfere with its advocacy as moral question,
but never was there greater delusion Well does
the writer remember when but a little lad when it
came into the political arena in the State of Maine,
with Maine Law Party on one side, and an Anti
Maine Law Party on the other, and rode on the
political crest triumphantly into power. And just
here | wish to say that the men who on the basis
OF the workings of the law in the State of Maine
dared to say that prohibition will not prohibit, are
either wifu falsifers of fact or ncorrigible dupes

Comparative Crop Report.

The crop report of the department
of agriculture for September has been
issued from Washington and makes a
favorable statement for Kansas. Corn
generally throughout the country
during the month Of August fell off
from about SO per cent to 81. But
in Kansas it retained its lead over
every other state in the Union and
remains at the same point as in Au-
gust, SO. Nebraska has fallen of a
point, but stands second with 96. OF
the other surplus states Ohio and
Indiana have each fallen off six points,
both being in far inferior condition
to Kansas and Nebraska. Illinois is
somewhat better with 81, but has
fallen off from so a month ago.
This falling off in condition Of the
central states is due to drouth coming
at such time when the corn was IN
desperate need of rain. The condi-
tions west Of the Missouri have been
more favorable than anywhere else
in the country.
All other crops, except spring
wheat, generally throughout the cOun-
try suffered a reduction of condition,
due to bad weather at and after har-
vest. Winter wheat, for instance,
fell off 3 points, oats more than 2
points, tobacco over s points, while
spring wheat has gone up from 81 to
nearly 94-C0pjtaL

Birds WIN Be Nowhere.

DIortaIs have not learned to fly, yet
the aeronaut continues to go up in a
balloon and to come down as often as
not in a fatal hurry All the same
the movement of man is daily becom-
ing more rapid. Trains run faster,
the horse has succombed to the cable,
or the electric motor on our streets,
and bicycles are making the IocOmo-
ton of the individual man speedier
than even the most sanguine dream
ed Of a decade ago.
But more than all this, there are
signs of an overshadowing revolution
in the matter of Iocomotion. Several
of the leading newspapers of the
country have recently printed some
remarkable facts about the newly in
vented bicycle locomotive, which is
expected to haul a heavy passenger
train at the rate of hundred miles
an hour. The remarkable engine,
so it is claimed, has passed beyond
the purely experimental stage, al
though it is to be put shortly
through a course Of severe. and prac-
tical tests, we believe, on the Penn
sylvania Central railroad. The gain
in speed is not the only thing prom
ised for the bicycle engine. It
is said to be cheaper to run, and
that the alteration it demands in
the form of tracks viii increase the
safety of the passenger to a large
extent.
A story of even greater wonder
comes from New York, regarding
the new eIectro-automatic railroad,
which has answered experiments
conducted at Baltimore. Maryland,
successfully, and which is soon to be

Autumn.
By Mollie ReiteF.-

BY MOIhe ReiteF,-
It is here.
1t only comes once a year, but we
can tell when it arrives in vaious
waYs-by cool, naughty evenings, bv
buff cOlOred leaves, by the squealins
Of the pigs, and many other signs,
more or less familiar. But the sign
most generally known is the arrival
of the luxuries of the season.
Those consist of peaches, apple
dumplings, chicken fxins, etc. black
home" hunting prairie chickens and
nuts, in the North, shooting darkies-
especially about election time-in the
South, making prairie hay, cutting
up corn, gathering gra8oIine and dig
ging potatoes, in Kansas.
o yes! the boys and girls know
when it is autumn, for then they can
have pumpkin PIE. if the bugs did not
get ahead of them, besides many 9th
er things that are only in season at
that time, as baked taters, etc, and
also by having to gather new fire ma
terial.
In autumn the busy little mosquito
begins to draw near to his latter end
1--we are thankful for autumnI and
his bite becomes more seldom, though
not less pronounced.
As we write there comes into our
mind a beautiful little gem of a
poem, which is [away off from the
French. It is as follows:
Monsieur Muskeetaire, your time
he have come.
Jacka Frost call for you, go you
now home.
Viz your leetle tin trumpet you
sing all re night;
Now Mr.. Jacka Frost freeze you
up tight.
The poet has expressed one of the
most delectabIe joys of autumn, when
he informs Monsieur Nuskeetaire
that hei about to be CONCEALED, and
one feels that the good that autumn
does in this one particular goes a
great way toward counter-balancing
the loss of tomatoes and other garden
sass.
Then the evening prayer meetings
begin again, and the singing school
''talzes up"
The boys get up a surprise party
to surprise old Squire Higgins and
his wife, and are surprised them
selves by finding that the old folks
knew all about it beforehand, and
have the table loaded with roast tur-
ky, cakes, pies, and everything girls
and boys are fond of II the line OF
eatables.
The girls get up cuttings.
The boys get up nutting parties.
The old men have huskIng bees.
The old ladies have sewing circles.
The cheerful are more cheerful.
The unsteady inclined sing, and
there is joy everywhere.
Sam Brown plucks up courage to
pop the question to 'SInda Jacobs,
and there is a wedding Thanksgiving,
and all feel that when the ''corn is in
the shuck' is the best season Of the
year

All Eyes on Kansas.

No year in the history of Kansas
has yet opened with the auspices so
many and so greatly in its favor as
will 1890. From early spring of this
year until now no state has had such
general attention called to it and call
ed to it in every case for some feature
in which Kansas heads the process
ion.
The prohibition campaigns, begin
ming with New Hampshire and clos
ing with Pennsylvania, were disast-
rOus to the interests of the states in
which they were waged, but they
served only to advertise the advan-
tages of citizenship IN kansas
These campaigns had barely closed
when the splendid oat crop of the
state attracted attention, a crop that
exceeds that of every state in the
union. Yet it was far less a success
than the wheat crop which followed
and which has kept Kansas steadily
in view.
Yesterday the Capital published
Secretary Mothers estimate of the
corn crop, based on reliable figures
from every county in the State. IN
der this estimate the corn Of Kansas
this year will go more than $4,000
600 bushels, an average of nearly 40
bushels to the acre all over the state,
a crop and an average such as no
state Of the union not even Kansas
has hitherto produced This corn
crop Of Kansas challenges the atten-
ton andsadmiration of the world.
In three-we from this time we
will entertain IN Topeka what prom
ises to be the most notable gathering
that ever assembled in the west. 1t
will include men of national distinc-
ton from every state and territory of
the country west of the Mississippi.
It will have under consideration the
most popular project ever devised for
theswhoIe west-harbors on the gulf
coast. It will attract to Kansas the
attention ofsthe whole country.
Next spring, finally, a novel and
striking event will take place in To
peka. Republicans of national prom
inence from every state and territory
will meet hereand persent to Kansas,
banners made in the. highest art from
each state and territory, as a tribute
to the victory achieved here over the
hungry and thirsty democrats. II
will be an event unique and impor-
tant in the party's history. Whether
the administration at Washington
will be represented we do not know
but the eyes Eof the whole country
will be again on Kansas.
We repeat, as we said in the be-
ginning, that no year in the history
of Kansas has yet opened with the
auspices so many and so greatly il
its favor as will CAPITAL

A story is now going around about
to this effect: An old Pennsylvania
of note died some years ago ana went
to heaven. A short time ago a dis
tant relative in Kansas died and also
went above. The old man was de-
lighted in meeting the friend, whom
he took by the hand and gave a
hearty welcome by showing him the
grandeur of the place Of eternal bliss.
The seraphims, the highways spread
with gold, and the golden candle
sticks were brought to the new set
tiers attention and then he was asked
by the old pioneer what he thought
of the ceIestine abode, whether it was
notmagnifcent, delightful and grand.
The new settler at this interrogatory
hung his head for a moment as though
absorbed in thought and then re-
sponded as follows: TT Is grand in
deed; everything is magnificent, but
my old friend, you ought to see Kan
sas Just before wheat harvest Ed.

RESOLUTIONS.

RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas: Many of the secular
newspapers of Kansas and adjoining
States are declaring our prohibition
laws to be inefficient and openly
violated, sowing the statement
broadcast over the world that there
is more liquor drank, more poverty
and more crime in the State as the
result of this law, than when we
had E.Open saloons, and are advO-
eating the re-submissiOn and the
repeal Of our temperance laws, and
Whereas: The liquor men and
their sympathizers are using every
influence they can. to .prejudice the
public against temperance men who
aspire to legal and executive off
ces, and if possible to prevent their
election, trying in this way to shield
crime, prevent prosecution under the
law, and to uphold the sale and
use of Intoxicating drinks; doing
all in their power to retard the ex-
ecutiOn of the law, hoping in this
way to make it obnoxious to our
citizens and thus pave the way for
open saloons to destroy the lives
and break the hearts Of countless IN
protected women and children, eter-
nally ruin the liquor dealers and
their pitifuI customers souls, insti-
gate and foster immortality and crime,
crowd our courts, fill our prisons, asy-
lums and aims houses, and burden
dOwn-trodden citizens with unjust
and needless taxes.
Therefore: This Oberlin Baptist
association, recognizing in this trif-
ing with and perverting of just tenn
perance laws, a public danger, do
hereby declare our firm allegiance to
and confidence in strict prohibitory
liquor laws to advance the happiness,
prosperity, morality and christian
virtues of the people; and we, as
ministers of this association, prom
Use upon getting home to our church
es to prepare and preach strong tenn
perance sermons, and try to arouse
the people to a realization of this
great danger Knowing that in IN
ion there is strength, and believing
that all christians should make com
mon cause against Demon Drink, we
cordially invite all christian ministers,
Of whatever denomination will
use our personal influence to get
them-to preach temperance sermons
to their congregations, and cooper
ate with us in this great christian
warfare of temperance, for the pro
lection Of our homes, Our liberty and
our country; and for the advance
ment of morality and right, and for
the building up of a christian king
dom in the world
We denounce the cant and hypoc-
risy of so-called moderate drinking,
which ends It's victims in ruin and a
drunkard's grave, and do hereby
pledge ourselves to support and vote
only for men who are known to be
strictly temperate
Resolved: That copies of these
resolutions be given to all the news
papers and pastors of churches in this
association.

for the war will rest largely upon
Russia, whose nagging" has made the
tremendous ornaments Of Europe neccs-
sity. BISMARCK. as we have heretofore
stated. has thoroughly demonstrated the
sincerity Of his repeated assertions that de

warnings contained in his combinations
against her and France may force him to
adopt the policy of fighting for peace.
The members of the triple alliance mag
find it cheaper to engage in q short,
sharp, and decisive war than to keep
up their ornaments to the present
standard. If Russia persists in muddylng

Balkans and the Caucasus patience on the
part not only of Germany, Austria-hun-
gary. and Italy. but on the part Of Turkey
and England as well may cease TO be vir-

t:ons. In that event war could not fail to
be popular, nor could it hsve more than
one result-that of crippling both Russia
and France for many years.
