TOPEKA, KANSAS, June Il, Issa.
| To day the 18TH the battle for
prohibition In Pennsylvania will
close. The amendment will be de-
feated 10y JO,UUU. This II tile infur-
nation which comes to Topeka. On
the side of prohibition have been
arTayed the temperance, christian
people Of Pennsylvania, while the
brewers and liquor dealers have
flooded the state with u cOTrulIiuu
fund up iIItO the millions. la this
great battle for decrnry aud right,
Kansas has occupied an important
position. She sent three dozens of
able speakers. Hundreds at thou
sands of letters, pamphlets aud
Temperance documents telling of
the grand work accomplished in
Kansas by prohibition were SCAT
tered all over Pennsylvania. A
statement of facts complied by the
officers of the state temperance
union, and endorsed by the state
officers and judges Of tue supreme
court vas se II to the Keystone state
by the Thousand. The last message
Of Governors Humphrey aud Mar.
tin were found To he valuable docu-
ments to send abroad. Governor
Humphreys letter TO the Toledo |
H'dti,, reviewing the struggle for
prohibition In Kansas, aud the great |
good IL has accomplished for the |
people aud state has been circulated |
in every county in Prnns ylvania
and has been read 10y more than
lOO, OJ people. For the past thirty !
days there has been u continuous |
demand upon the governor and |
other state officers for facts regard
ing the enforcement Of the prUhibi.
ton law,-sO great has been this de-
sire for the truth that one IL amazed
at the statements OF Ex-AttOrnpy
General Bradford and others who
have been in the canvass that the
amendment will be defeated by 10
ODO majority. But We must renIrm-
her that the rum power never sleeps.
IL Is so strong in Pennsylvania
that no political party will openly
and fearlersly autUgOrlZe IL as the
Republican party did Ia Kansas.
While demOrallLing society aud
scattering its wrecked aud ruined
lives on all sides, II is smart enough
To do that which will draw to IL tue
sympathy of a large number Of pep
pie. Take one example. The recent
calamity which beieIl Johnstown
called IuTth words of SYM Athy aud
deeds of charity from every part of
the country. The national urpwrr'-

and in the midst OF the cainpaign q
for prohibition, gave the sufferers
