Prohibition and Resubmission.

Those editors who are opposing the
resubmission sentiment that IS now
gaining slight foothold in Kansas
have a perfect right to do so. That is
their privilege. But they should be
extremely careful of the terms used
while advancing their arguments. Such
epithets as ''beer guzzler,' "whiskyite, -
"saloon hummer" &C., sound very
harsh and vulgar, and as rule do not
fit the majority of the men who are to-
day foremost in the cause of resubmis-
sion. True we do not favor resub-
mission, and are willing and anxious to
give The present prohibitory law at
least two more years of trial. If at
the end of that time there be no change
for the better-in the enforcement of
the law, we mean-then will be time
enough to talk resubmission. But this
talk about there being no temperance
men in the resubmission movement is
all bosh. Weknow better. The editor
of the Wichita Eagle is a temperance
man, and there IS John w. Price, of
Atchison, who never touched a drop of
spirituous or malt liquors in his life.
Both of these men are in favor of re-
submission, and yet some of our rattle
Drained country editors call them
whisky bloats. Let the press gang at
least be gentlemanly in arguing these
questions Sterling Champion.

EDITOR DEMoCRAT:-I read the
communication of my unknown friend
with much pleasure. see he is true
prohibitionist, for he objects to the
disposing of the beer bottles and whisky
kegs. II he had been associated with
church folks as much as he would have
us believe he would doubtless have
learned that new wine is not put in
old bottles. Neither should whisky be
put in old kegs. But see my friend
has been too long under the sanctifylng
influence of the whisky dive to appre
ciate an open licensed saloon where
he would have to go in at the front
door; there being no chance to slip in
at the back door and drink pint of
corn juice in just ten seconds, and
come out with look which says 81 am
so glad that Jesus loves me-" But the
bane of my friends life crops out in his
letter. The miserable Clutch" But
my friend will excuse me for saying
that, at Pea Ridge admired Siegel and
his ''dutch," at Champion Hill tossed
up my hat when Osterhaus got there
with his ''dutch," and how happy 1
was at Fort Gibson when Klous and
his 'dutch" took bully off our hands.
Yes, and among the first on top of
Lookout Mountain was Osterhaus and
his s'dutch," and as citizens and farm
ers they are at the front. My friend
appears to have had some domestic
trouble, just as one might haye ex-
pected. You cant carry Hoisington
and drink the beer in the Bend; it gets
you in trouble all around. I am glad
that my friend has started his children
to school SO that they Will not be like
their father, for if he should 90 to
hades his majesty would find him so
green that he would have to keiln-dry
him for a month before he would burn
1 suppose my friend you are an appli-
cant for the Bend postoffice, as you
appear to be busy. Well. if you do not
get that, do run for the legislature for
you would be such bright and shin
ing light. since
The best obedience of our hands
Dare not appear before His throne,
But faith can answer heavens demands

Hoisington Items.
From the Dispatch.
Hoisington has FIVE secret orders.
The Beaver Alliance was down to
Hoisington in full force Saturday after
car of Pittsburgh coal.
Land buyers are coming into the
state quite rapidly at present. In our
opinion it is good time to buy but
not to sell.
At the meeting of the board of
directors of the creamery association
yesterday it was decided to begin oper-
ations March 10th.
County immigration bureaus are be-
ing formed all over the state. Would
it not be good idea for Barton county
to fall into line and do likewise.
Hon. w. ii. Rice was in town yester-
day as one of the directors of the
creamery association. He is Barton
county's able representative as well as
a prosperous farmer.
DIED:-At the home of her son, r.
NJ. French, in Hoisington, on Wednes-
day morning, January 20, Mrs. c..
Robinson, in the 6sth year of her age.
Deceased had a stroke of paralysis
about two weeks ago which was the
prime cause of her death. The funeral
services were held in the M. E. church
to-day, Rev. Pitkin delivering the
sermon. The remains were inferred
in the Hois ington cemetery.
The town company has shown a
willingness to donate a sufficient
amount of land for a city park if the
people of Hoisington will plant the
necessary trees and keep the ground In
good order. A park is something that
should be provided for in the early days
of the city so that in few years 1t
will be an ornament to the city and a
pleasure to our citizens. We suggest
that meeting be held to consider this
matter and make some arrangements
for the planting of the trees and caring
for park.

Normal Notes.
our Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent.
A number of new students.
Miss Mae Hoag returned Saturday.
She had gone home not to return, but
decided that it is better for her to
return.
We are now, about 100 of us, boarding
in the old gymnasium room. Everyone
likes the change. Come in and see us
some day at dinner.
The three tables to which Cora Dean
acts as waiter made her present of
a very fine photo album--Or at least
the album ought to be nice-it cost
about $500.
Mrs. Allen Of Rich Hill, Mo-, who
has been visiting her daughter, Mrs.
Briggs for the past two months goes
home Friday. Mrs. Allen has made
many friends during her short stay
among US.
The Special Science class gave their
second set of finals Saturday night.
Each speaker did well. A big "walk
around" took place after the exercises
were:over in which each one seemed to
enjoy himself.
The news class was we'll attended
last Saturday and the interest quite
good. Our new conscientious congress,
is doing such good work just now.
The negro, j. J. Ingalls,, John Ander-
son and Henry George are some of the
many subjects discussed during the
hour.
Sunday eve. one of the boys from
town was out at the college and was
greatly insulted by some of the college
boys-we were intending to call them
gentlemen but cannot see as they are.
If madam rumor is correct these college
boys met OF overlook this town boy in
the road and threw various missiles at
him. All of which proceedings we
think to be downright mean and a
sha ne to us as college students. 1t
seems to the scribe that 1t is rather
small business for anyone to be caught
in any such work.

NE1eHBoRHooD HAPPENINGS.
Pawnee Rock.

Pawnee k0ck.
From the Leader.
The applicants for the Great Bend
postoffice are still swimming around in
hot water.
o. T. Luthan, of near st. John, is
assisting at the station now and will
have charge of the night and morning
trains.
The death of Mr.. Billings, as re-
corded elsewhere, cast a gloom over the
neighborhood. AS stated in last weeks
issue, the family have all been down
sick for some two weeks, and at the
time of Mr.. Billings death his wife was
very low, so that the friends thought it
best not to tell her of the death of her
husband.
Mrs. George w. Daniels, of south
side, was called home to the bedside of
her mother on Thursday morning.
A telegram received from her father,
Mr.. Geo. Detwiler, well known here
and south of the river, stated that Mrs.
Detwiler was very low with congestion
of the stomach and it was feared she
would not live but few hours.
DIED:-On Sunday, January 26, 1890,
at 8 D. m. Rev. E. w. Billings, of lung
fever Aged 81 years. The funeral
sermon was preached by Rev. B. F.
Boyle, of Larned, at the Riverside
school house on Monday, Jan. 9th,
1890, at p. M, and remains were
inferred in the Pawnee Rock cemetery.
A large number of friends followed the
remains to their last resting place.
The Santa Fe still turns the cold
shoulder to Pawnee Rock, so far as the
stopping of train No. at nights is
concerned. This is unjust on the part
of the company. There is enough
passenger traffic to and from Pawnee
Rock to entitle her to the stopping of
this train and it is reasonable re-
quest that has been made but not
granted.

Brothers and Sisters of the Subordinate Alliances
Acting under the Kansas State Farmers Alliance:
At the last annual meeting of the
State Alliance il was ordered that in
case there was a consolidation with
the Farmers and Laborers' Union of
America at the meeting of the Nation
al Farmers Alliance and the said
Farmers and Laborers' Union, in the
city of st. Louis, on the Sd day of
December, 1889, that the Kansas State
Farmers Alliance would unite BY proc
lamation of its president, with the
Farmers Alliance and Cooperative
Union.
Now, therefore, I, 1. NJ. Morris,
president of the Kansas State Farm
ers' Alliance, do proclaim that this said
body is hereby united with the Farm
ers' Alliance and Cooperative Union
of Kansas.
In thus uniting the two farmer or
CARNATIONS of the state of Kansas, we
cease to act as your president and place
Bro. B. HI. Clover, of Cambridge, Kan
sas, at the head of the united body;
also, Bro. 7. J. McLain will act as as
sistant secretary with Bro. j. 3. French
to aid in perfecting the consolidation
and advance the united body on the
highway of progress.
Brothers and Sisters: on this new
field of united action we appeal to you
to be prompt in your efforts and strike
telling blows that will protect the in
terests of the farmers homes on the
soil of Kansas. Unity in action, unity
in strength, will plant the banner of
victory for the farmers of our state
over the frowning fortress of wrong.
The cleaning light of hope for our
class is dawning upon the horizon of
time through the unity of the toilers
of the land. Be true to this unity, and
you will protect the rights of down.
trodden class. I. NJ. MORRIS,
President Kansas State Farmers
Alliance. White City, Kas., Dec. %, $50.

terest of the farmer please copy.

The Leaven at Work.

Mr.. EDITOR
I would like to ask the favor of space
in your Farmers Friend"-BARToN
COUNTY DEMOCRAT, to make enquiry,
viz: Can the Farmers Alliance hold
it's position and prosecute it's desires
to obtain fair division of the results
of their toiling sweat? Iwould answer
with fear and trembling, yes. Why an
swer with fear and trembling? Be-
cause the farmer is not business
thinker. AS a rule his products are
priced for him, and his wants are priced
to him.; he takes what is offered on the
one hand and pays what is asked on the
other This has been his walk in life.
Possibly he growls little at times, but
soon settles down to an even temper
and plods along.
But am told we producers are wax
ing up, and feel the Importance of our
position; that nations live because of
our being; that society fiourishes only
because we keep the axles of the wheels
of progress clean and oiled. Yes. We
are walked up, and are uniting to OBJ
tain recognition in our natural rights.
But, physically strong, mentally weak.
No general of note to guide or lead us
to victory.
Would it wrong us to be compared to
a vast herd of domestic beasts that had
gone on stampede to assert their free
dom. The masters of the herd would
assert if we attempt to stop them they
will trample us under foot. So, STRAIT
egg, my boys, strategy. John, you get
a sheaf of oats; Mike, get bucket of
bran; Jim, bring little salt; boys, you
know where you can do the most good;
say ''Whoa," gently.
Now 1 see posted on bridges on roads
leading TO Great Bend. ''Coal oil 15cts,
canned goods 1Octs;'' hand-bills read
ing: ''13 lbs graduated sugar for$l co."
with only two houses heard from up to
this writing. Has sugar, coal oil and
canned goods dropped, in the general
market? Oh, no! This is the bran.
oats, and salt strategy.
Brethren, will they corral US? Are
any among us so blind as not to see the
purpose of this? Has Providence strick-
en- their hearts to the extent that they
givegoods below cost? How miracu-
lous, at this time, just the second day
after the time these same men, when
called upon answered I'VE have no pro-
position to make to alliance men," How
true the saying:
-God moves in a mysterious way.
His wonders to perform"
My Brothers. you stood side by side
with me when We made that resolve to
act in common for individual gain, with
no hatred or malice to any one, but a
brotherly love to each other; did you
mean it when you said it, brother? If
you did, prove it by your work If you
did not, it would be manly in you and
fo re 70 COW CO in time

On Monday morning of this week
the wife and a daughter of Secretary
of the Navy, Benjamin F. Tracy, lost
their lives by the burning of their
residence, in Washington City. The
secretary was barely saved from suffo-
cation. The French maid, young
woman, also persisted in the flames.
The Capitol city has been thrown into

In the national house of repre-

their conducting affairs in the house is
dispicable, ungentlemanly, dishonor-
