WOMEN AND PROHIBITION.

One OF the specks on the political ho-
rizon that indicates cyclone IS the
warm wave of the female gown in Kan
sas in the cause OF Prohibition.
The women OF Kansas are about 10
vote aud vote solidly, against rum and
riot, as the enemies of domestic virtue
and wife rule. 1t Is the only thing, az
we have always held, that will make
Prohibition or female suffrage formida-
bic, OF give to either the sentiment and
force OF a crusade.
But it cannot be denied that the most
modest matron may be tempted to go for
obtaining the privilege Of the ballot if
she can use it 10 establish the rule Of cold
water.
In this modern age temperance ia an
established thing compared with the state
OF the habits and morals Of men a CEN
fury ago, but women have ten times the
power as then, aud they expect the rights
OF the household over which they rule
should be maintained against the demons
Of liquor, and that freedom in one sense
must mean slavery to virtue. The ladies
are doubtless right from the view they
take Of il, and we believe that the com
binauon Of the women and the Pro-
hibiiionisis will induce political
revolution il it finds man of genius TO
lead the movement 1t has certainly
hegun in Kansas, and we may expect TO
see the cold water wave move eastward
When II does there will be an anti
cyclone and the deuce will be TO pay.
