THE RESULTS on THE ELECTION.

We expected to be able togive the full
results of the election in this Issue OF
THE ADVOCATE. This we cannot do
We can say, however, that we have elect
ed five members Of Congress and enough
of the legislature TO defeat Mr.. Ingalls,.
This would be glory enough, II we ac-
complish nothing more. We by no means
vet concede our state ticket We have
detected fraud In places, and steps have
been taken TO make a thorough inyesti-
cation Of the vote. II our state ticket is
defeated, as law abiding citizens we shall
peaceably acqulesce. IL II has been
fairly elected, II is not going to be count
cd out. OF this all parties may rest
assured. The question may as well be
settled now whether the voice Of the peo-
pie can be suppressed. AS before stated
we know Of fraud in some places
Whether we can find enough to change
the republican count can only be deter
mined by the investigation now being
made. Our friends must be prompt II
their assistance in this investigation
Keep cool, but maintain the determine
tlon that the votes that have been hon
estly cast shall be honestly counted
Whatever there has been Of fraud shal
be unearthed and exposed.

A FEW THOUGHTS ON THE QUESTION OF
PROHIBITION.

There has been a large amount OF
sentiment wasted upon the subject OF
during the recent cam
paign. The republican party has re-
sorted to every conceivable device to
force this question upon the people
as the one only issue worthy OF any
consideration. During the heated
controversies Of the campaign, honest
republicans have been led to believe
that the prOhibitOry law was in dan
ger. They have been blinded by the
dust that has been thrown in their
eyes. The great questions for which
the people were cOntending have been
kept out Of the range Of their vision.
There are other facts also that the
campaign has brought to light. One
Of these is that we unquestionably
have o strong sentiment in Kansas in
favor of the resubmission of the pro-
hibitory amendment. 1t will be folly
for any party TO either question or ig-
more this fact. IL is beyond dispute.
IL becomes us, therefore, to meet this
question like men and not like dema-
gogues, IL becomes us to examine
the causes that have added strength
TO this sentiment, and not only that
but to intelligently and fairly ano
logically discuss the merits and de
merits of our prohibitory legislation
Il seems that this could now be done
dispassionately. We propose to leaC
in this discussion. In doing this w
shall start out with the broad and un
questionable proposition that the peo
pie have the right and the power tx
change their Legislation upon this o
any other question at will. This is
fundamental principle OF republican
government. It cannot be called II

lin our discussion, therefore, W,
shall not further speak OF tn
right Of the people to make an,
change they may deem e1pedient
The question hinges solely upon tn

and TO this our discussion will be d
rected. This discussion, in order t
be entitled to respect, must deal fai

names or misrepresenting their posi-
tions Why are these men resubmis-
sionistsl We aver that the republi-
can press and leaders Of the repnbli-
can party are directly and solely re-
sponsible for il. They are response
BILE for it in more ways than one.
They are responsible for it, in the
FIRST place, because Of their hypocrisy
upon the subject. II is a we'll known
fact that while this party has posed
before the people as the great and
only law and order party the true and
only exponent Of the principle Of pro-
hibition, and while it's platform never
fails to contain a prohibition plank,
the men who frame those planks are
usually inspired by something more
than enthusiasm for the cause pro-
hibition. It is a we'll known fact that
not'a republican convention has been
held in the state, in this or former
years, where beer and whisky did not
flow more freely than water flows in
many parts Of Kansas. This was no.
toriously the case at the state conven-
tion at Topeka on the 3D. Of Septem-
ber, and at the Colby and Dodge City
conventions earlier in the season, and
the men who are loudest in their ad-
vocacy of prohibition upon the stump
and in the press are the men who inn
bibed these fluids most freely on those
interesting occasions.
Again. It is a we'll known fact
, that the metropolitan police commits
- sioners, who should enforce the laws,
. have regularly agreed with saloon
men not to interfere with their bust
ness provided they would pay a regu-
3 lar fine Of from fifty to a hundred
dollars per month for the privilege OF
conducting their unlawful traffic.
- These things have necessarily brought
v the law into disrepute. They have
@ led people to believe that there is no
Il honesty anywhere upon this subject.
Q 1t is clearly seen that while we have
y prohibition on paper we really have
Il none in practice. This is one Of the
Il ways in which the republican party
i is responsible for the strong senti-
b. ment Of resubmission in the state
# and especially among thoughtful bust,
G ness men.

party, OF course, must oppose the re-
publican doctrine as a matter OF hab'
Il, and.in order to conform to the tra-
ditional policy Of the party, which
has been for years opposition to what
the opposing party has favored re-
gardless Of the question OF right or
wrong.
We are not among those who hold
that all men who believe in and advo-
cate and vote for resubmission do 80
because they are in favor Of an unre-
strained liquor traffic. IL is thespirit
OF unfairness and untruthfulness on
the part Of the republican press and
republican leaders in persistently In
sisting that this is the case that has
had more to do in preventing an hon
est study Of the principles involved in
our prohibitory Legislation than any
other cause. Take this question for
ever out Of Kansas politics and treat
it solely as an abstract question OF
public policy and the republican
party Of this state is without a sim
gle issue upon which it can go before
the people with any claim for sup
port. 1t is this fact which has caused
the party to cling to this issue, in sea-
son and out Of season, with such des-
perate tenacity. The facts do not
Justify the republican claim that the
opponents Of prohibition seek an un-
restrained liquor traffic. An honest
discussion Of the merits OF the ques'
ton dem ands this concession at the
outset. These men, outside OF the
saloon men and those who are resub'
missiOnists for revenue or for the
qualification of depraved appetites
are honest men. They are good anc
law abiding citizens. They are az
sincerely deairous Of the welfare ant
prosperity, and as proud OF the gooc

The Gold Belt in Alaska,

Alaska is a country worth looking

Determination With Which the Cat Meets Her
Ancient Foe, the hog.
The mastery OF herself which cat
shows when, having been caught in a
position from which there is no escape,
she calmly sits down to face out the
threats of dog, is a marvellous thing,
says writer in the Boston Transcript.
Everybody has seen kitten on the
street doorstep attacked by dog ten
times her size, as apparently self
possessed as if she were in her mis-
tress' lap. If she turns tail and runs
down the street she is lost; the dog
will have a sure advantage of her.
Even as it is, if he could get up
courage enough to seize her on the
spot, he would be able to make short
work of her. .s.--
You dare not touch me, and you
know it, is what her position tells the
dog. But she is intensely on her
guard, in spite of her air of perfect
content Her legs, concealed under
her fur, are ready for a spring; her
claws are unsheathed, her eyes never
move for an instant from the dog; as
he bounds wildly from side to side,
barking with comical fury, those
glittering eyes of hers follow him with
the keenest scrutiny. II he plucks up
his courage to grab her, she is ready;
she will sell her life dearly. She is
watching her chance, and she does not
miss it. The dog tries Fabian tactics,
and withdraws a few feet, settling
down upon his forepaws, growing
ferociously as he does so. 49,.
''Just then the sound of a dogs bark
in the next street attracts his eyes and
ears for a moment, and when he looks
back the kitten is gone! He looks
down the street and starts wildly in
that direction, and reaches a high
board fence just as cats tail-a
monstrous tail for such little CATS
vanishing over the top of it. He is
beaten; the cat showed not only more
courage than he had, but a great deal
more generalship." ..

Dress Making as ia Profession.

While the lot Of a dress makers az
prentice is not an enviable one, there
are few trades for women that offer such
prizes as making clothes for other women.
The chief dress maker of Bond street
establishment will command salary Of
e25O to e3Oo q year. What is more the
supply is not equal to the demand. A
good head woman will always have a
dozen places open to her if she leaves a
situation, Naturally this encourages a
spirit of independence that is often fatal
to long continuance in one place. A
chief hands work is confined to cutting
out, overlooking the other women and
comforting with the designer. The de-
signer is the rock over which most of
them split, for if he wants too many al
terations the dressmaker rebels. The
hours of chief are not heavy, and no
Paris education is necessary, as many
suppose. If French ideas are needed a
French woman is imported. The best
houses prefer an English hand who is
thoroughly English. II Pail Mall Gazette.
