WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE Re-
PUBLICAN.

The Emporia Republican, the most
ultra prohibition paper in the state, in its
Saturdays issue, addressed the press of
the state in half column editorial in
which it vigorously appeals to every Re
publican editor to close up the ranks
against the opposition, which under the
banners of Alliance, of Resubmission
and of Democracy is threatening the Re-
publican party, but in the very next col
umn admits the following communica-
ton:
Ed. Republican:-An intolerant old
crank signing his name Mother in yeSter-
day evenings Republican in his zeal to
defend prohibition inadvertently told the
truth, when he said "that resubmission
meant the saloon" OF course it does,
old fellow. The question resubmitted,
prohibition would be defeated by an
overwhelming majority. The drug
saloon would have to give place TO the
licensed saloon and regulation of the
liquor traffic. Instead of perjury "hell
and high taxes" the whisky business
would be conducted with some regard
for decency and profit to the people. If

gain converts to his doctrine he will have
to go to some place where the people lack
experience. Ten years of the drug store
back rooms and jug trade has opened the
eyes of the voters of Kansas. The day
of high taxes and free whisky is drawing
to close. Temperance and morality is
brought about by good teaching and
proper example, not by legislation and
for, e. Honor is only due to those who
can restrain themselves from tempta-
tons. The great Creator erected the
guide board that points out the better
way and he fixes the punishment for the
transgressor. He does not prohibit but
makes man a free agent to choose the
road that he will follow. Prohibition at
tempts to do more. Go and read the
good book, mother, and wait until after
the election. a man pledged to resub-
mission has been nominated to the legis-
lature by the Republicans of this district.
OF this | give you fair notice. He will
be elected. REsUBMISSIONIST.

finished sowing. will have almost 900
acres. The farmer. should not go it too
strong on one crop 10 the neglect of
others; for if their strong crop should
fail they would be left with moth

planted each season; some wheat. some
corn, some oats: in fact, somsthing Of
any crop that can be grown here and for
which there is a market or which can be
used on the farm. IL is not probable
that chlnch bugs will destroy the wheat:

AsHoRT-sIGHTED POLICY.

Granting. for the sake of argument,
that the Democrats are right in principle
in opposing the proposed actions of the
Republican majority in certain legislative
matters, they are still not justified in
pursuing the course they seem to have
adopted to prevent such legislation. If
the proposed acts are wrong the party
enacting them are responsible to the
country, and not the minority. If this
policy is to be pursued congress had as
well adjourn at once and go before the
country with the record thus made up.
And if that is done the Democrats may
be sure that they have, by their obStruc-
tive methods, accomplished indirectly
the very thing they have attempted to
prevent, in the election of larger major
ity of Republicans than the present con-
gress contains.
Congress can pass no law that a sue
ceeding body can not repeal. This the
Democrats well know, and by their OBJ
structive methods they give the lie direct
to their professed belief that the country
will not sustain the acts of the present
majority. No very great harm can pos
sibly result to the country from the oper-
alton of any law, however obnoxious and
harmful, before it can be repealed by
succeeding congress, if the people SO de-
sire it.
From partison standpoint Republi
cans do not object to tactics the Demo-
Gratis seem to have resorted to, but for
the welfare of the country, uncompro-
missing protest is entered.

WHY 1T Is PRINCE HAL"

Editor News: Some of Colonel Halo
wells old comrades in arms have Deen
very much amused at the comments of
Jere Simpson and his followers on the
name Prince Hal that attaches to Col
onei HallOwell. | served in his regiment
and know how that name was given. He
was first called Hal" by some of his
most intimate friends, it being the first
three letters of his christian name, and
was used to distinguish him from some
other Jlms in the mess. AT the battle of
Stone River while our brigade was sur
rounded in the cedar thickets and fight
ing most desperately for our lives and our
liberty, Colonel Hallowelrs galIantry-
though mere boy-was so conspicuous
in rescuing and saving two guns-we
brought off the field. Lieutenant John
A. Pike, bosom friend of Colonel Hal
lowell, in referring TO him, said: by
-, amt he prince" The name has
followed him ever since, it being taken
up and added to that of Hal" making
prince Hal" No three-month man
like Jerry Simpson could earn such a
record as Colonel Hallowell did, and if
records and reports be true, Jerry was
too cowardly to attempt it, and was
never in battle. \. w. MCKINNEY,

The two met on the street one morning
and the good doctor began TO chide the
captain for his intemperance and to
warn him that his habit of regular drink

death of him. The member listened re-
spectfully and when the preceptor was

INGALLS, AND PENSIONS

The arrearage pension act under which
the eX-union soldiers of Kansas, and of
all other states, received more money
than from all the other pension bills was
more the measure of John J. Ingalls, than
of any other man; in fact he was the ac-
knowledged champion of the measure;
vet we picked mp an alliance paper yes
terday which was endeavoring by the
most unblushing lie to make its readers
believe TO the contrary, and it probably
succeeded. Ingalls, in advocating the
measure against what seemed at one
time an insurmountable opposition, de-
clared that it was the duty of congress
to first determine how much the country
was indebted to its patriots and then to
pay it, as there was plenty of time
in which to afterward discuss the means
for lquidatng the debt.
The truth is. and it is undeniable, that
Ingalls, as chairman of the senate COM
mittee on pensions did more to educate
public sentiment and to shape the new
and liberal pension policy of the Repub-
lican party and of the government than
any other single individual in the United
States. So conspicuous was his position
and so telling his efforts that G. A. r.
and other old soldier organizations
throughout the country formally endors-
ed his work and loaded him with praises.
Yet here and now, after so brief a space.
comes an organ of party in his own
state openly and shamelessly classifying
the recorded facts of history and deny
ing that which should be of accepted
knowledge everywhere.

sions, and inferentialIy that the number
ought to be reduced; but that is no argu-
ment against the proposed tariff commits

many laws on the statute books that are
imperative and not desirable, that there
should be no more laws enacted. With
a tariff commission composed of the

IRRIGATION IN WESTERN KANSAS

We see that HallowelI, in dwelling
upon the present condition of agricul-
ture in western Kansas. and about which,
from actual figures from statistical
showing, advocates the policy of govern
mental aid in irrigating the possible areas
of western Kansas, where, whenever
there is sufficient water, such abundant
crops are raised. The EAGLE endorses
Hallowell's ideas, and after he is elected
to congress promises that it will aid
him with all its power in gaining recOg-
milton of the entire feasibility and profit
ableness of such an investment. No ex-
perimental stations or circumscribed
agencies are desired. The fact that
the rich marls and silica
locus soil of Western Kansas,
when supplied with water, produce rich
harvests has been abundantly settled,
and no more defensible appropriation
could be made by the general govern
ment in the way of internal improve
ment than for irrigating such accessible
areas as are found in great bodies, in the
western counties of Kansas. A 1.-THE of
the money annually thrown away on in
ferior creeks and impossible bays, under
the head of river and harbor expendi-
lures, would prove of Unreasonable
benefit to Western Kansas and of profita-
bleness to the country at large, and the
EAGLE is pleased to note that our next
congressman is in earnest about mat
ter in which all Western Kansas is so
directly concerned.
