always receive. Rev DR. Hewitt, OF
Wichita, spoke Of the necessity OF de-
voting more attention 10 the moral
aspect Of this reform Mrs. Fanny
Rastall represented the Kansas Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union.
Her presence and words are always a
credit and strength to womanhood.
Amanda Way lowered to the full
height of the occasion and stirred the
patriotic determination TO work along
all lines Of temperance work with
fresh zeal. Rev DR.. McCabe made a
characteristic speech full Of martial
spirit and deep devotion to the cause.
Rev. Mr.. Kelly and Gen. Campbell
each addressed the meeting
The short addresses by these promi-
nent men and women were excellent
but this last evening session lacked
the fire and the inspiring atmosphere
of the previous evening Many a
delegate felt the blight OF the time
serving, compromisory work Of the
afternoon.
The convention, aside from the ma
chine work, was grand manifesto
tion of the devotion Of the people OF
Kansas to prohibition. The people
will never give up the ship.

The Sunday CAPITAL OF Che 18th

THE REGULAR PROSPERITY SERMON.
The Sunday Capital Of the 18th
had it's usual sermon on the stere0-
typed te1t-the great prosperity Of
the Kansas farmer. The NoncOn-
formist Of Che 18th published the re-
suit Of an investigation made Of Che
files OF Kansas papers in the depart
ment Of the historical society in this
city, which discloses the following
facts:
Number OF counties investigated .."".. %
Number OF mortgage foreclosures adver-
tlsed In these counties In one week.,",. i,Jis
Average for each county, ty,.""....,,.."., N0a
This is a variety of prosperity Of
which the Capital chooses to be per-
feCtly oblivious. It's attitude upon
this question indicates consummate
ignorance or deliberate Justification,
and in either case il is absolutely mex
cusable.

blessed wire between Lawrence and
Topeka was called into requisition
and the "Conn casg' which CGs Rkely
to be postponed for another day tUGs
ordered to 90 on The actors in tho
farce at the Topeka end Of the line
were impatient with waiting for tho
curtain TO rise Il was expected that
Conn would receive his sentence on
Tuesday and upon request il is said
chat the governor remained in his of
fee during the noon hour to receive a
delegation Of Mr. Conn's friends.
Now II is not every state that can
boast of a governor 30 devoted 10 the
interests Of his CcriminaD constituents
as TO be willing TO sacrifice his dinner
in their behalf Among the absurd
reasons which Il is said were urged in
order TO induce the governors pardon
was the plea that IL Mr.. Conn we're
allowed to go TO jail like one OF the
common herd he would leave Law
renee las soon as he got out Of iail)
and the historic city would be minus
a hotel keeper Of high social standing.
Doth Il then appear that the chief
executive Of the state must be invoked
to avent such dire disaster to Law
renee.
Coincident with the arrest Of Mr.
Conn another hotel keeper Of Law
renee was arrested for precisely the
same crime, that Of keeping liquor
for transient customers. But alas
the hotel over which this man pre-
sided was not frst-class. This man
could Ill afford the expense Of a suit,
and alas his social standing was not
'high" hence no executive clemency
in his behalf. True this last named
hotel keeper was an Andersonvllle
prisoner, a trifling popularity which
might be mentioned in his behalf.
But this old soldiers pardon is with
held.
To complete the story Of this tray-
esty upon legal justice it should be
told that the poor Colored man who
dealt out the liquor for Mr.. Conn's
establishment is languishing in the
Lawrence jail and must pay the utter
most farthing Of his fine.

GOVERNOR HUMPHREY PARDoNs A yIO.

GOVERNOR HUMPHREY PARDONS A VIO-
LATER OF THE PROHIBIT0RY LAW.
Some three months since the sheriff
of Douglas county succeeded IN ar
resting several joint keepers and vio-
lators Of the prohibitory law in the
city of Lawrence. The guilty parties
we're promptly dealt with, with the
sole exception Of Mr., Conn, proprie-
tor Of the principal hotel in the city.
Mr. Conn's case was, upon some tech
nicality, carried over to the May term
of court. The intervening time was
employed in the most active and thor
ough preparation for defense. Mr.
Conn was possessed Of abundant
means to carry on the suit, The ablest
legal counsel was secured, and q large
number of witnesses we're subpmnaed,
presumably to give negative testi-
mony, presumably to testify to the
improbability Of the guilt Of a party
of such high social standing as the
proprietor of Lawrenee's frst-class
hotel. With all Of this thorough
preparation looking TO the breaking
down Of ftheprosecution, when the case
was called Mr.. Conn pleaded guilty
and received the sentence OF 500 fine
and thirty days in jail. The sentence
was received on Wednesday, May IA,
at noon, and at 4 p m. Of the same
day the first train from Topeka borO
to the self-confessed criminal a par
don from the governor Of the great
state Of Kansas. Never in the history
of the temperance movement in Law
renee has the moral sense of that com
munity been 80 outraged as by this
action of the governor. Consider the
disastrous blow thus dealt by Cover
nor Humphrey. Coming at a time
when every influence should be
brought to bear to withstand Che
strain of the supreme court decision,
and coming as the pardon did to the
most dangerous kind Of violator Of
the law-one Of the class Of violaters
who by supplying the transient Gus
tom, the travelling men from abroad
have done more than any other class
to undermine the law by putting it in
the power Of travelling men TO say,

Il will be seen that the effect is par
ticulArly disheartening
In the convention Of the State Tenn
perance Union Il had been said in
resolution "that in this extraordinary
emergency we urge the county officers
TO increased fidelity and courage in
the discharge Of their sworn duties in
the enforcement of our laws closing
saloons" But the common sense OF
this same convention was insulted by
a report Of a committee sent to the
governor TO ask the reason for his
extraordinary action, which said that
there was nothing in the case which
called for action on the part Of the
convention.
No more faithful and courageous
set of men ever existed than these
Douglas county officials. But owing
to the very fact that the officials were
hampered by the lack Of just such a
search and seizure measure as the
state convention had declared they
would not even memorialize the state
legislature TO obtain, it had taxed the
courage and the vigilance of the Of
fcers TO secure the arrest of this pro-
prietor Of q place in which il had long
been currently reported that liquor
was sold. With what courage can
those faithful officers or any other Of
ficials in the state pursue offenders II
all their efforts must be rendered
nugatory by gubanatorial pardon1
Our present law needs no strength
ening," said the manipulators at the
state convention, ''what we want is
search and seizure officers" OF such
complexion were the Douglas county
officers. But Of what availl The gov
) emor uhdoes their work and the in
vestigating committee from the State
Temperance Union says 'there is
B nothing in the case for us TO take ac-
{ tion upon" Now for some Of the

significant tone, with wise intonations
, and with such mysterious hintings

OLD Qom0CThtlC uOcJFlnb'
In the old halcyon days Of nullif-
cation and secession the doctrine OF
the entire supremacy Of states rights
was never more iorcibly and point
edly argued. If the spirits Of John
O. Calhoun and Jefferson Davis how
cred over the convention they must
have felt that TO have the animating
principle Of their lost cause, 80 zeal
ously championed within the state
house walls, at the capital OF free
state Kansas, atoned for the tempo
rary check il had received from the
four years struggle for the opposing
principle. Taking the innocent pa
per upon which was written the mon
strous declaration that 'the suppress
sion Of the liquor traffic should stand
in the forefront of the questions en-
braced in national legislation" Cen
eral A. b. Campbell shook it in the face
of the convention, vociferating that
il that body wished to abandon work
along state lines, If they would aban-
don hope and resign all they had gain
edin thenine years Of prohibition, then
they should vote for that resolution.
But if on the other hand land shifting
the wicked resolution to the other
hand) the convention there assembled
wished to hold on to prohibition in
Kansas, then this resolution should be
voted down. Being thus shaken as O
trained terrier would shake a cap
tured rat, what could that poor con
vention do?
A delegate did indeed muster cour-
age to suggest that the testimony Of
that same convention as to our ina
bility TO enforce the law in our front
ier sections, and our powerlessness to
resist Missouri invasion, had suggest.
cd TO the minds Of many that prohi-
bition must be national before it can
bO thoroughly effectual, therefore the
only real point, and the one which was
being covered up by the fustian and
rant Of the specious discussion was
does this convention Want national
prohibition3 lit does IS ii Gfraio

Rev. Bernard Kelley said the pas
sage of this resolution would seriously
injure the cause of prohibition.

PERHAPS AND PERRAPS.

Perhaps purer and more wholesome forma-
tons may ultimately come out OF crude mass
of dissolution. Who knows?-lG.-D. News.
For a great many years THE GAZETTE
has been accustomed to the rawlings of an
alleged independent press, and has read
much of Democratic dissolution, throes,
"reminiscences, ETC., etc., but the party
has lived, it still lives, and it will live
while the American republic lives. There
is no "dissolution in the Democratic
party; formations have gone out of
It, for every healthy body at times has
Giles, but out of the dissolution of DEM
ocraoy will never come forth any party;
when Democracy dies, the republic will
have been long dead.
The CD. News having constituted
itself the champion of the George Clark
brand of so-oslled Democracy, which is
now passing into capitalization by means
of "non-partisau, business mems
clubs" THE GAZETTE desires to pro-
pound q few interrogatories to the Organ
OF the New Movement;
/. If a farmer voted the Democratic
ticket at the last election how, under
party usage, can he be excluded from
Democratic primaries this year? II the
nom partisan business man did not vote
the Democratic ticket at the last cleo
ton, how are you going to use him in
Democratic primaries this year?
2. If one swallow does not make a
summer, how can one farmer picked up
by the News to "adorn tale' be an
exponent of the sentiment of all farmers?
Does not three-fourths OF the Democratic
vote IN Texas come from the fsrm2
g. When man signs the formulated
printed club head reported In the press
as having been signed at Waco, sher-
man and Pittsburg, and now being cirou-
lated elsewhere, does he not oppose all
kinds Of railroad regulation and, within
certain conditions, promise to oppose
Democratic platforms and nominees?
4. Democratic and Republican busi-
meas men can mite in business, social,
benevolent aud religious clubs aud still
preserve their political identity; but how
can they Join the same political club and
preserve separate partisan identity? The
lamb and the lion, the Clark and the
Lyons, might lie down together between
times, but how can they do so at meal
time, when both are hungry
8. II railroad corporations and indi-
viduals are one and the samA thing, as
set forth in tie ready made platform or
the .fSSon- FartisanS BUSINESS Mems
Clubs. - how comes it that no railroad

corporation was ever tried or hung or
imprisoned for murderi
g.. If the Democratic party, in conven-
ton assembled. declares in favor of the
railroad commission amendment and
nominates Mr. Hogg or some other COM
missionist for governor of Texas, will the
News support the platform and nominees
z. Is this unorthodox, un-Demooratic,
n-Republican, "Non- partisan business
men s club" platform intended to COM
bine Republicans and disaffected Demo-
crats into new party? II SO, Is o. T.
Lyons, the recognized Republican leader
In Texas, to be its candidates; or will the
new party, the "purer formation,'' SO
TO speak, nominate some pronounced corr
poration Democrat? Or will the clubs
break up in o row because political oil
and water viii not mix2
6. Is not this 'Non- Partisan Business
Mems club' movement almost Identical
In name and incongruity with the Marion
Martin politics OF which the News Affects
to complain in behalf of Democracy?
8. II Ii is wrong, as THE GAZETTE con-
tends it is, for alliances and knights
Of Labor lodges as organisations to take
hand in politics, is it not equally wrong for
drummers associations, "non-partisan
business meu . clubs, sheriffs' associa-
tons, underwriters associations, ct al.
to attempt to control or defeat Demo-
cratic action2
10. VIII the CD News answer cate
gorically and still further elucidate the
plan for Democratic dissolution in Texas
and that more Wholesome formation"
which is to arrive from ilI-assorted polit-
icaI bed-fellows?

DON'T BURN THE BRIDGES.

The Times is not intolerant, nor has it ever
said that Mr.. Hogg is not a good man. On the
contrary it believes he is. 1t differs with him as
to his policy; and, though it has never said that
capital would leave Texas in the event of his
election, it has said, believes and can produce
evidence TO the effect that an Endorsement OF
Mr.. Hogg's policy towards corporate capital in
vested in the state will have tendencyto retard
the development OF our resources and keep capl-
tai out of the state which would otherwise be in
vested here. Every one is entitled to his opin-
ion. The above is ours,-[New Birmingham
Times.
The above is the mildsst way of putting
the assertion INDUCED by few newspa-
pers of the state that ''the election of
Mr.. Hogg will set Texas back ten
years. The Times Is one of the most
active and intelligent workers in the up
building of this state, and that excellent
journal should not burn its bridges be-
hind it.
Texas is here to stay, and there will be
work for Texas newspapers to do after
the next governor is named in August as
well as to-day, aud what will these news
papers do about 1t should Mr.. Hogg be
nominated at San Antonio? Will these
Texas workers lay down their pens and
say, ''It is no use, Texas is ruined; we
cannot invite men and money TO come to
q land of ruin, and if we did they would
not Gomez" Suppose MIR. Hogg is nomi-
mated, and certainly no one can say 1t is
violent superstition, what ere the news
papers going to do about it that are now
declaring his nomination will ''set Texas
babk ten years?''
Should Mr.. Hogg be nominated, Texas
will be here, and there viii be work to
do as now there is How
can any Texas newspaper invite
people to come to a state whose govern
ment has been so vigorously denounced
as uninviting to capital? VIII these
newspapers lie down in the harness, or
win they impeach their own honesty by
still declaring Tsxas 20 be the paradisa5
of investment and home seekers? These
newspapers should have q care. lest they
fall into pit dug by their own hands,
No man can ruin Texas. The lsgisls-
ture, elected by the people, makes laws
for the state. II Texas is TO be set back
or ruiued. it viii be only through and by
its own people. Neither Mr.. HOgg nor
