The Rev. J. Snyder, a Unitarian
preacher in St. Louis, undertakes to
explain, in the Forum for October, the
singular fact that there is not preju-
dice among any European people
against the negro as a negro, such as
is evident in every part of the United
States. He thinks that this prejudice
is more or less natural in the southern
states, where the negroes were slaves,
but he can find no satisfactory reason
for its existence, in an unusual degree,
III the northern states where slavery has
not existed for SO long a period, or in
the western states where it never exist.

A Good Reply.

Governor Humphrey this week re-
ceived a telegram from A. B. Lincoln,
of Willimantic, Connecticut, editor of
the Connecticut Home, asking who and
what is w. p Tomlinson of the Kan
sas Democrat?
To the telegram Governor Humph-
rey sent the following reply:
W. P. Tomlinson in his time has run the gamut
from being an enthusiastic republican and prohi-
btionist, down through all the intermediate
stages to being an avowed democrat and resub-
missionist. 1t is the understanding here that he
is travelling through the east in the employ Of the
DiStilers' and Brewers association of the United
states. He is an adept in distorting facts and
figures to meet whatever vagary he has on hand.
When he charges that most towns in the state
under prohibition show greater intemperance
than before, his charge is absolutely without
foundation.
When he charges increase OF rate Of taxation
to prohibition, his charge is untrue.
1.-THE question was resubmitted to the people
prohibition would carry by 1900 majority. Ask
him what he has to say about temperance and
prohibition in his own city. Topeka.
LYMAN Z. HUMPHREY.
The governors reply will be heartily
endorsed y'every true Kansan. It
has become characteristic of the demo-
cratic press and democratic politicians
to lie about Kansas, and it is time the
people should call things by their right
names. A political renegade who will
sell himself body and soul to whisky
brewers association for the purpose of
traducing his own state, should under
stand just what the people think Of
him.

A War of the Future.

When war comes in Europe, as it
must come some time, it will be seen
that new era has begun in the art of
destruction. The Belgian historian,
Emile de Laveleye, sums up in an
article in the. Forum for October the
terrible factors of the next conflict.
The civil war in the United States was
but child's play in comparison. With
Russia and France on one side and
Germany. Austria and Italy on the
other, seven millions of men can be in
stantly put in the field, with ten mill
lions in reserve. The facilities for con-
centration and the improved arms are
such that more men may easily be
killed in one day than have ever before
been killed in q whole war. The con-
tinuous preparations for war, even
when there is no thought of its imme=
date occurrence, are far greater and
more expensive than ever before.
France has surrounded her frontiers
and her capital with continuous line
of forts and entrenchments. Germany
has made Metz, Strasburg, MaYence,
and Cologne gigantic fOrtresses, which
seem absolutely impregnable. Italy
has fortified her Alpine passes, her sea-
ports, and even the Eternal City itself.
Belgium is spending forty millions of
francs in the construction Of redoubts
with cupolas of steel, to close the pass
age by the Mas valley. The war
budgets are everywhere increasing in
enormous proportions. "And it is
under this continual menace of the
most frightful shock of armies that our
planet will ever have looked upon"
writes n. de Laveleye, :'that We live.
And the. most extraordinary thing is,
that We get used to it. We go about
our business, our pleasures; we rush in
crowds from all parts to the Paris ex-
hibition. while each one says; 1T may
be for tomorrow

a Dead Issue.

The Leavenworth democrats held
their convention on Tuesday. With
characteristic zeal for the rumSeller,
they devoted their entire platform to
an abuse of the prohibitory law and the
rigidness with which it is being en-
forced. They sent up ahydrophobiacal
howl against every measure that cur
tails in the least the sale of intoxicating
liquors,
The Sedgwick county democrats, in
their platform, utterly ignored every
other issue, and devoted the entire plat
form to whisky. A number of other
county conventions have in similar
manner expressed their desire to go
backward in the scale of progress ten
OF fifteen years. The fact is, that the
democratic party has no such word as
progress in its vocabulary. The word
became obsolete by reason Of its nom
use in the party thirty years ago, and
the younger generation have little con-
ceptiOn of its meaning. The demo-
cratic party does not know that the
great state of Kansas passed the mile
stone of prohibition eight years ago;
in fact, the democratic party does not
know that the people Of this country
have been moving onward and upward
in the scale Of civilization for the last
thirty years. The tenor of that organ
ization and its platform and press has
been downward and backward, and it
seems incapable of learning anything.
Just why great political party (if
the democratic party of Kansas can be
dignified by such titlel should devote
its entire attention to the revival of an
old dead issue like prohibition, no in
telligent person can conceive. We
presume that next yeaI the demo-
cratic party of this state will resolve
that "negro suffrage is not yet dead
issue. or possibly they may take up the
suggestion of some of their southern
associates and declare that the question
of slavery is still a mooted issue. Of
course it is immaterial to the republi-
cans what kind of a platform the dem
Ocratic party may adOpt-the people
have adopted the universal rule to
avoid every position assumed by that
party, and there is no danger of any
great portion of our people following
the lead of such an organization.

THE letter which Mr.. Tanner wrote
to Private Dalzell is very characters
tic Of the ex-pension commissioner.
1t shows that the estimate placed upon
Mr.. Tanner by the people of this cOun-
try was not far out of the way. His
mouth and his pen were always too
ready TO let the world know every
thought that passed through his brain.
Instead of getting down to business
and letting the people learn his sympa-
thy for the ex-sOldier by his work, he
adopted the theory that the only way
that the people could find out that he
was FREUD Of the soldier, was to tell
them of it in public speeches and writ
ten communications. Mr.. Tanner is
undoubtedly honest In his zeal for the
cause of the old soldier, but his indis-
Greet utterances get away with him.

THE article on young men in poll
tics" which appeared in the Topeka
Lance recently, seems to have caused
cOmmotion among some of the dry
bones Of the old political hacks" o.
this state. Some man too modest to
give his name, writes an article for the
Topeka Capital of yesterday morning,
in which he undertakes to give great
deal of wholesome advice to 1.-THE young
men" of this state. OF course his ad-
vice is to keep out of politics. Judging
from the tone of this article, the gentle
man who wrote it must have been
greatly disappointed in his early life.
We should judge that he belonged to
that class of politicians who are son
the Decline" and he IS very much
afraid that the young men" of this
