HON. ]. R. HALLOwELL.

Never has there been more Wig
orous, ceaseless campaign than that
prosecuted by Hon. j. r. Hallowell for
the past two months. Since the 9Th of
September, except Sundays, he has
spoken every day from one to three
times. travelling much of the time across
the country in open conveyances, re-
gardless of the weather, to meet his ap-
pointments. Through all this arduous
campaign, Colonel Hailowell has re-
tanned his physical powers and
his voice has also retained
NAMED unimpaired until Saturday when
the constant strain upon it impaired it
TO such an extent as to compel him to
take rest for a day or two. He will re-
sumo his work this week, however, and
will fill his appointment at Medicine
Lodge on Thursday. The clear and
forcible manner in which he has pre-
sented the issues of the campaign before
die people has had telling effect. No one
who has heard him can fail of an intel
ligent understanding of the involvings
of the campaign, and with this there is
no room for doubt as to what the over
whelming verdict Of the voters will be
at the polls on the 4th day of November.

THE NATIONAL CENSUS.

The returns of the census of popula-
ton are now in to an extent which al
lows a close estimate of the population
of the country. The number of inhabi-
tants will be somewhat over $4,000, 900,
an increase of 100000 over the last
census. The eastern, middle states and
southern states show the smallest adj
vance, and tie middle western states do
very little, if any better.
The increase in Maine is only 1.75 per
cent; New Hampshire, S.31; Vermont
only saves her population, while Connec-
ticut and Massachusetts,, both of which
have several promising cities and are
closely linked to thorough commerce,
exhibit an increase Of 20 and 80 per cent
respectively.
In the middle states New York shows
an increase of % per cent; Pennsylvania
about the same; New Jersey, whose
growth in the localities near New York
has been greatest-a growth that makes
an impression in a small state-shows an
increase of 81 per cent; Delaware's in
crease is ii per cent.
In the central western states the in
crease shown in Ohio is 1866 per cent;
in Illinois, % per cent; in Indiana, 1865
per cent; in Wisconsin and Michigan, %
per cent. The states west of the DIissis-
sippi are still growing rapidly. Kansas
gains 50 per cent; Minnesota, 50 per cent,
and Missouri only % per cent.
The south, while showing larger adj
vance than ever before, has not yet be-
come the center of development which
it promises to be in future years. The
mountains separating the border from
the Gulf states show large advances. but
outside of this section the increase is
very slight South Carolina increases 10
per cent, North Carolina IS, Louisiana
20. Mississippi Is, Kentucky %, Tennes-
sec %, Alabama. %, Virginia 20.
Georgia 90, and Texas 40, the last named
state taking a decided lead of the others
in total population.
The most interesting developments,
however, are noted in the states of the
farther west. Those traversed by the
Northern Pacific railroad are Dakota,
Montana and Washington. The increase
of Dakota is 800 per cent; Montana 236
per cent, and Washington 365 per
cent-one per cent for every day in the
year.
OF those traverSed by the Union Pa
citic, Nebraska shows a gain of 1913 per
cent; Colorado over 100 per cent; Wyom-
ing 1871 per cent; Utah 43 per cent; Idaho
156 per cent; Nevada but % per cent,
and California b per cent.
New Mexico aud Arizona, the south
western section, show an increase re-
spectively of u and As per cent.
The most remarkable feature. however,
that will appear will be found to be the
growth of cities in every section. The
southern cities vie with those of the
west-all are drawing from the sur
rounding country.

An exchange interprets the result of
recent municipal election in Covington.
Kentucky. the home of Senator Carlisle,
which result was the election of
the Republican candidate for mayor
the first one in twenty-five years-as an
intended rebuke to the senator for his
speeches and votes against the tariff
bill. To our mind a more plausible rea-
son for the result of the election is
found In the changed mode of holding
the election i. e. substituting the secret
ballot for the vica voce method. The
change gave the people chance to vote
without consTaint. the first time since
the adoption Of the viva voce system
more than twenty five years ago.

That is easy answered. The grand old

the claim set up is based upon the field
against the g. o. D., which makes the
latter the favorite, and it has uniformly
been the winner heretofore. 1t is easy

as easy to possess it.

The singular feature of the original
package business in the courts Is that the
awful absurdity and thinneSs OF the orig
inal package device is not considered by
the courts. \ 10year-old boy knows that
il is not interstate commerce that is affect
ed or threatened, but that il is only a de
sire to sell whisky in defiance OF local reg
ulations.- City Gazette
The plain lodgic of the foregoing is
that, however profound and accurate
judges of the Federal courts may lie on
any and all other subjects, the moment
they touch a question in any way affect
ing the liquor traffic they become idiotic,
no difference what their political opin-
ions and convictions are. 1t was so in
the Iowa case that first gave rise TO the
contest before the courts. and it has been
the same in every case and every instance
since. The extreme partisan champions
of prohibition at all hazards seem unable
10 bring themselves to realize that this is
not question of sentiment only, but
that it bears relation to law that every
other material interest does, and must h
50 treated.

LIKE BANQUo,s GHOST.

The Cleveland Leader calls down "a
dissatisfied free trade contemporary on
its assertion that the tariff question is
not settled-not even for a year, much
less ten, and holds to the opinion that
1.-The Democratic National convention of
1892 will select some other question for
its most prominent campaign issue,
adding: 1.-The industrial and commercial
interests of the nation demand a rest
from tariff agitation and threats of dis
turbance, and the Democratic leaders
will not dare to ignore that demand"
The Leader may find itself greatly
mistaken The Mckinley bill, with
some virtues, has many faults; it may
suit the manufacturers, with the excep-
ton of those interested in sugar, but it is
very far from suiting the people, as
whole, and irrespective of party.
A majority of the leading
Republican papers in the country
have failed to approve its provisions,
and deny that it meets the wants of their
constituencies. A number of the ablest
men in congress on the Republican side
say that the bill is bad one, and only
voted for it because they thought it bet
ter than nothing, and to redeem the par
ty pledge.
As the EAGLE has said before, the
number of tariff reform Republicans is
increasing; party lines are not SO well
defined on this question as they were
even two years ago, but the issue is and
will be a living one until some greater
improvement on what has been" is
formulated than the Mckinley bill.

The fads of big men are peculiar.
Bismarck. for instance, is talking now of
trip to England because he has an un-
comfortable passion to see the Scottish
heather in bloom. If he crosses the
channel at all it will be to pay visit to
Scotlands national flower. Judge Jere
Black, of Pennsylvania, Buchanan's
attorney general, and one of the most
profound lawyers the country ever pro-
duced, visited England to see three
things-Derby Day, an English court of
assize and the battlefield of Runnymede,
where the bsrons wrung Magma Charta
from King John.

The pious Quakers have refused Col
Bob Ingersoll the use of their Philadel-
phia academy of music to lecture for
Walt Whitman't benefit. The subject
chosen was Art and Morality, " but they
feared he might run in some disparaging
remarks about religion before he got
through. and they can't permit their holy
academy to disseminate the doctrines of
inhdelity. Perhaps somebody can ex-
plain how Philadelphia can conscien-
tiously retain Girard College on the con-
dition that no religion of any kind can be
mentioned within Its walls.

TRADE IMPROVEMENT.

The Dry Goods Economist, referring TO
the trade it represents, says: The
growing certainty that higher rates of
duty would prevail has strengthened
prices of all dry goods which will be af-
fected by the new tariff. Prices are now
about 10 per cent higher than in August
on all spot goods in which wool plays a
prominent part as raw material. Lin
ems and knit fabrics have improved in
the same ratio. This improvement has
been gradual, but not the less certain,
and will give handsome extra profit to
many firms. 1t does not, however, rep
resent the difference between present and
future duties, holders of goods having
wisely adopted the course of keeping the
trade supplied by making the advance
gradual. No artificial scarcity need
therefore be feared.

legislature in extra session to amend or
re-enact the prohibitory laws. The gov
ernor will hardly act upon such demand.
1t is only little more than two months
until the legislature will convene in reg
ular session, and the situation as to the
liquor traffic-whIch can only be carried
on under the rulings of the courts in the
form of original packages-can hardly
become worse within the two months in
tervening than it has been for several
years past. In the popular judgement,
therefore, the exigencies of the situation
are not such as to warrant the expense
upon the state Of AN extra session.

HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN STATE
| CENTRAL COMMITTEE, TOPEKA,
KAN, OCT. II, 1890.
To the People Of Kansas
We are today confronted by decision
OF the Circuit Court of the United States
for the district of Kansas that destroys
every vestige of our legislation for the
suppression of rum holes and the control
of the liquor traffic. This court decides
that our prohibitory legislation, having
been enacted before the passage of the
so-called Wilson Bill" is unconstitu-
tional and void. The practical effect of
this decision is to allow original package
whisky saloons to be opened in every
locality in the state, absolved from all
legal control; to be boldly run without
any interference from the local officers
of the state. The court says in the opin-
ion now on file: at must be conceded,
that as the right of the state to treat such
article of commerce as subject to laws
passed by the state in exercise of the
police power comes for the first time and
alone from the enactment of the Wilson
bill, until the state passes law hereafter
forbidding such traffic, it has never exer-
cised the power, discretion, (call it what
you may lodged in it by congress.
In view of this decision, it behooves
the temperance men of the state, and
every earnest and loyal Republican to go
to the polls on the day of election and
vote and work for the election of candi-
dates for the House of Representatives,
in your respective districts, who will
promptly on the converting of the next
session, re-enact, word for word, and line
for line, every provision of our legisla-
ton prohibiting the manufacture, sale
and use of intoxicating liquors, and for
the election of governor who will ap-
prove it. This is the vital, overpowering
issue of the campaign. The Republican
State convention 30 declared it, and now
the Federal Judiciary have demonstra-
ted it.

all political parties are interested
in reaching that very desirable
result. If through the press of the state,
and from the stump, the people shall be
made to understand the amendment, It's
purpose and its certain effect, it will, be-
yond question, be adopted.
In the Advocate of October 1c, news
paper published in the interest of the
Farmers Alliance, occurs a full and
forcible presentation of this question by
Mr.. Ed S. Waterbury, a member of this
executive council.
1t is the Judgment of this association
that the public interests of the state. and
the private interests of those citizens
who are compelled to litigate their
rights, demand the adoption of the jul
diciaI amendment. We therefore ask
you to present this matter TO the people
during the balance of the campaign as
fully and favorably as its importance
warrants.
