ced on ) months or 6 months notice, if it
is not required for use Another point,
to which the Committee objects seriously
is the withholding of the annual subsidy
from the Colonial Treasury to the Immi.
gratlOnfund the amount is in itself small
and quite insignificant compared with the
results to be secured thereby, and we see
money spent freely for other urpOSes of
less Importance, and if the Colonial Trea.
sury has to reduce its expenses, there are
other points On which the reductions
could be made besides the Immigration
fund. No Member will agree to this in
S%titutiOn being cuI tailed and if we look
at what the Immigration tax itself yields,
the amount would be totally insufficient
to introduce the mereSt minimum of la
bOurers.-He had at present nothing more
special TO add, and could refer to the
Committees Report.
Bird Member for FrederiKSted'S Country
District Mcdonald would beg to ask if
there is not a mistake in the published

St. Croix, 18th June 1889.
r. RAPHAEL, J. HEWITT,
Chairman. Speaker.
II. D. Nc DONALD.
3rd Member for Frrderiksted's Country
District (Herit) az Speaker of the Com
mittee introduced the Report. 1t is, he
said, signed by 3 numbers the one Of
the 8 members elected, Mr.. Levy,
il, as. the Council is aware no longer a
Member, and the other Member, Mr..
Russell has been in St. Thomas and is
there up to how, and it was not conve.
nient for him to sign. 1t is not necrs-
sary for him to make any further remarks
on the matter itself, as it is quite clear
what the Committee means; after examin-
ing the Draft we have come to the con
clusiOn thar it is not to the interest of the
community that this Draft should be
passed. The reasons for that are fully eX-
planned. Still there are one or two items
which require d few more remarks. AS
regards those $4,000 it is proposed to
invest them in Statebonds at home, to
form a reserve fund TO be used for immi-
grafton purposes for such use of the
Fund the c%oucordant resolution OF the
Government and the Colonial Council
shall be required, AMI also during the
aforementioned 3 years, the consent of
the Ministry Of Finances" Now, this
immigration is a most important matter
to the Country ; without labourerS, we can
have no ~prOductlOn of the soil We cannot
afford, being a small Island, 10 wait such
lengths of time as will be required, if we
$500 L:1 kLa. . = AlA T.-.-A ~
resolution, and then perhaps he says We
shall have none after all. Judging from the
length Oftime which ii took, upwards Of
a twelve mouth, to obtain a decision from
the Minister in reference to this Draft, it
would always be long before we could
arrive at u decision when a matter of this
kind is laid before the Minister. When
first this measure was introduced here, it
was thought, that being one of intere>t
to the Country, the Government would
have taken steps to further it without
>. delay but No the Government refused
it could not recommend the matter for
adoption ; hence nothing was done for a
long time, until this Draft cam forward.
But besides that, the Fund is at present
under the control of the Government and
the Council it would be wrong to put
such a restriction Oh the application of
funds, which the urgent requirements of
the chief interests of the Island require for
use at Ouce. 1t will be seen from previous
instances, see Ordinance Ii Febr 1873,
that when changes were required in immi-
grafton matters of the Island, it was not too
much forthe acting Governor tOlegislateI 10y
provisional ordinances, without first sub
hitting to the Minister, if it were in the
power of such an Authority, then surely
it should not be necessary to exact that
matters of similar kind shall now be laid
before the Minister, ere anything could be
done. Then again he did not believe
that it'would be of any good to send away
these funds, as the means could be safely
aud equally a~dvantageously placed for
ssfekeeping in one or other of the Banks

be administrated by the Burgher Council
under. inspection of Government according to
such rules as the Council shall decide upon
with the approval of Government, and in
Ordinance of 2nd October 1862 5 /, reads.
1.-THE duties connected with the introduction
of aforesaid immigrants with their allotment
as we'll as with their treatment and their
eventual return to their homes shall be in
trusted to an immigration-C Committee to con-
sist of a Chairman who shall be called the
superintendent of immigration, appointed by
Government and two members nominated by
the Burgher Council" Placing the Council
in q majority.
Further your COMMITTEE recommend to
18th May 1866 5 3 Of which reads "Immi.
grafton fund to be administered by Govern
ment, who is erery gear to furnish the Coun-
Gil with o statement of means belonging
so the fund, and also lay before the Council
for its approval an estimate Qfthe revenue and
expenditure of the said fund for the follow
ing financial year, which your Committee
recommend the Council to request of the
Government future observance.
The Council will have observed, from your
Committees foregoing remarks, that it does
not consider the draft favourable for the we'll
being of the Island, especially under the
present existing circumstances, and therefore
cannot do otherwise than propose the re.
lection Of the draft.

considerable portion of the municipal
expenses. Business men, thinking men.
taxpays, know these things. We donot
know that the liquor dealers want re-
submisslon-certainly they will be los
ers if the license system is substituted :
and we are frank to say that if the re
submission movement is dependent OH
the liquor dealers for success that it
will never win in Kansas. Further. If
we were fathering the movement, we
would request the liquor dealers to
stand back or help the other side. II
resubmission wins, it must be carried
through by the taxpayers who are
tired of seeing saloons running in full
blast, unlicensed, untaxed and respon-
sible to nobody for sales to minors OF
habitual drunkards. The sensible peo-
pie demand regulation of the traffic.
Prohibition is failure in Kansas and
IN Barber county especially. Resub-
mission will be an issue next year and
so the question may as well be discussed.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1889-11-20
INGALLS, HEDGIMH

Senator ingalls, is evidently trying to
hedge" on the resubmission question.
Only two weeks ago, he characterized
resubmission talk as foolishness and he
declared that prohibition had come to
stay. Then he went to Topeka, hired
apartments, a telegraph operator, Ste
nographer and negro porter and open
ed up headquarters and sent for leading
men of the republican party. These he
consulted with, and by Saturday he said
to reporter:
Il am not fully prepared to express
my views upon this subject of resub-
mission, as ! am not fully informed as
to its extent. | have been making in
quirles and expect to know the nature
and extent OF the mOvemement. l be-
lleYe 1t is larger and stronger than many
republicans now think it is, and that it
must be met calmly and with reason.
There is no need of fright or uneasinesS.
but there should be consultation
among leading republicans as to what
should be done, if anything. I will give
you my views later, just as soon as
have fully informed myself"
That means that Mr.. Ingalls, is ready
to flop into the resubmission ranks and
and he would do it without moments
hesitation if he thought that his re-elee-
ton to the senate would be rendered
more certain.
MIR. Ingalls, is but Kansas politician
after all. When away from Kansas he
claims to be bigger than his state; but
about once i'll six years he dwindles to
the size of ordinary mortals, and he can
solicit votes and influence just as does
the candidate for the most insignificant,
county Office.
Mr.. ingalls, has several things to
think of these long winter evenings
The resubmisslon question may be the
issue i'll 1891, and there is no certainty
that it will win; so 1t is q dangerou:
issue for prominent man like Mr.. In.
gals to endorse or fight. Then, there
are at least two prominent men after
the Ingalls, seat. Hon. Geo. w. Peck
OF the Santa Fe railroad. and Judge
Foster, of the United States district
court, who will resign to enter the con
test for the senatOrShip. Then there
are smaller fry who would like to b,
considered candidates, Burton, of Abb
lene, Congressman Anderson, etc. i
this opposition should combine agains
Mr. Ingalls, he would be a goner.
So, after all, defeat hath its pleasure.
no less renowned than victory, and tht
average Kansas democrat who canno
enjoy the Kansas republican rebellion
has no pleasure in him and he is only
suited for gloom, sorrow and everlast
ing mourning.

1t will not do to say that whisky men
alone are for resubmission. That is not
the truth. The best people who are for
resubmission are for it that the liquor
traffic may be put under control of a law
that will be enforced-a license law.
There are dozens of places in every
county in Kansas where liquor and
other intoxicants are sold to-day-we
understand that there are no less than
dozen of these places in Barber county
These saloons, or joints, or whatever
you may be pleased to call them, do not
pay the state or the county or the cities
one dollar revenue or license, and yet
they sell as much liquor as if their
license was one hundred dollars per
month each. If these places were under
a sensible license law, the revenue they
would pay into the municipal treasur-
les would be sufficient to liquidate a

POINTS SETTLED

Boston Globe: "Some interesting
points are settled by the elections. The
tariff will be the great and overshadow-
ing issue in 1892. The democratic can
didate will be man who has an unim-
peachable record for tariff reform. Nei-
ther Benjamin Harrison nor Fire-Alarm
Foraker Will be the republican candi-
date. The democrats will have better
prospects in the west than ever before.
The south will remain solid. The Aus
tralian ballet reform will be adopted
i'll New York, and an honest, unbought
vote secured there. The next congress
will be democratic. The republicans
in the present congress will make a
show of revising the tariff.

THE FIGHT rs ON

Wichita Eagle, Nov. Is: ELSEWHERE
in the Eagle this morning will be found
a call from prominent republicans for a
meeting to be held in Garfield opera
house on Monday evening for the pur-
pose, as stated in the call, or forming a
republican resubmission club.
Ito the people Of Wichita it Is un-
necessary to say who these men are or
to declare them to be republicans. They
are the men who have largely built our
colleges and schools, our churches and
Y. NJ. 9. A. building and contributed
their hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the upbuilding of this city, and it's
many great enterprises. But few of
these ever touch liquor and they are
men who believe in the enforcement of
the prohibition law and all other laws.
They are the judges of our courts, the
members of our churches, our lawyers,
our doctors, our bankers, manufacturers
and leading business men. They were
not solicited to sign the paper, but the
call was simply handed to some, while
the great majority hunted it up and
signed it of their own volition.
MANY leading democrats and other
solid citizens not in accord with the te-
nets of the republican party were re-
fused PERMISSION to sign, and hundreds
of other republicans would have signed
had they been afforded an opportunity.
None but pronounced republicans OF
standing and whose records are cOnsis-
tent as such are asked to take part in
the meeting. 1t is further desired by
the fOrmulatOrs of the call, who are only
business men, that politicians and Office
holders will permit. and the request
seems proper, the club to be organized
and Officered by business men such AS
will have no desire beyond that of at
tanning the end sought and the conser-
walton of the republican party"

Alex Butts Stars: Aren't there a
good many fellows in Kansas standing
round gassing about resubmlssIon who
ought to be husking cornp. The far
mers of Western Kansas are wearing
rubber boots, which practically insures
big wheat crop in that section next
year. d. When 'rebel" calls upon In
gals at the Throop hotel, at Topeka,
the senator rings for the "coon" and in
half an hour things are Strengthened
around all right. The Kansas Poultry
and Pet stock ASSOCIATION will hold its
first annual meeting in Wichita Decem.
Der 3, 4, and 6 next. BY that time the
resubmission furry will be all over and
people will be ready to take an interest
in "banty" chickens and pigeons and
guinea pigs"

Judge Parkinson is attempting to
work up great big sorghum sugar
plant for Pratt Center, with smaller
plants, or feeders, in half dozen ada
cent townships. He asks $4,000 from
each township and promises to put in a
mill that will handle the cane from l 200
acres. The juice, when extracted by
diffusion, is to be piped from the auxil,
liary plants to the central mill and re-
finery, at Pratt Center. At this dis

townships of Pratt county are smart
they will be slow to take stock in sucl
an omnibus scheme. Judge Parkinson
