Capt, j. B. Johnson, of Topeka, was in
troduced TO me at our store in Kansas City,
by Mr.. l. Blackman, of Topeka, some time
in June, 1882.
He made the following statement: He
had come to Kansas City to see about the
Kansas campaign. He supposed that the
Kansas City liquor men felt interested, as
prohibition cut off a large territory from
their trade. He did not believe that the
people favored prohibition. He was indi-
vidually opposed TO prohibition, although
he was temperance man.
/ replied What do you want, what do you
expect of Us, or words to that effect.
Mr.. j. B. Johnson's answer was: He was a
candidate for governor, and had good pros
poets to beat st. John for the nomination.
My answer was again: What can we as
citizens of Missouri do in such campaign
Johnson replied: need money, as needed
in any campaign. st. Johns friends have
money and were ready to spend il.
then said: Suppose we contribute, what
will you do; what can we expect Of you re-
speCting our business interestsp "'"
johnson replied: I told you beforei
am opposed to prohibition. Il is wrong,
and while I am temperate man myself,
shall, if nominated and elected governor
with your support, never do anything to en-
force that obnoxious law, except as I would
be compelled to do, because as a matter of
courSe.my election does not repeal the law.
replied: can't see how financial assist
snce on our part will benefit our interests,
unless Legislature can be elected which
will resubmit the amendment, and would
be liberal in all respects regarding our in
terests.
johnson said: It would be hard matter
to get the necessary majority in the Legis-
latnre for resubmission, but the constitu-
tion and laws Of Kansas need revision
badly, and if elected governor viii use
my best efforts to influence the Legislature
to call constitutional convention, and at
that convention l will leave nothing undone
to have prohibition entirely ignored in the
new constitution.
Shortly after this conversation he left
Kansas City, and We contributed to fund
to further Capt. j. B. Johnson's interests
before the Republican convention.

Said depOnent further states, that he had
conversation with said j. B. johnson
after said conference in June, 1882, at
which conversation said johnson continued
to pledge himself and to express himself as
ready to serve the interests Of the liquor
traffic, and in chat conversation was also
considered the expediency Of said johnson
making prohibition speeches to secure pro-
hibition votes, and it was decided and
agreed to by said johnson that said john
SON should make q prohibition speech in
the city of Fort Scott, Kansas, which said
speech said johnson did afterwards make;
that the making of this prohibition speech
was also favorably considered at the confer
ence afterwards held in Kansas City, where
also the liquor men unanimously agreed to
spend their money in the interests Of the
candidacy of said johnson; and further de-
ponent sayeth not. G. r. JONES.

sworn, deposes and says, that some time in
the month of June, 1882, Capt. j. B. John
son, of Topeka, and MIR. L. Blackman, of
the same place, called at my Office in Kan
sas City, the latter introducing Capt. John
son to me.
At that time and place Capt. johnson
said he was candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor Of the state of
Kansas, that ne had great hopes of defeat
ing st. John If he could raise the necessary
funds to apply where it would do the most
good.
He said he was opposed to prohibition
and promised, if successful in the race, to
do all he could to wipe out the iniquitous
law, that he was in favor of constitutional
convention by which prohibition could be
ignored and proper license laws enacted
Hereunder. He said it would be necessary
for him to advocate prohibition in order to
defeat st. John in the nomination, but
once elected he would do all in his power in
the interests of the liquor traffic by the.
methods hereinbefore indicated.
Quite sum of money was raised and de-
livered to a certain prominent citizen of
Kansas who was to deliver the same to Capt.
johnson, and who afterwards said to me
that the money was promptly delivered to
Capt. Johnson. E. L. MARTIN.

The Company's Earnings Are Con-
stantly Increasing.
Secretary Lansing's statement OF the
operations of the Southern Pacific for
month of August is out. 1t shows that
the gross earnings for the Pacific system
during this period were $780, $40,
against SIS, 1863, 635 for the same month in
1890. The operating expenses were
81 1926, 1856, while for August, 1890, they
$1,778,992. The excess of earnings over
operating expenses was $1,714, 1854, and
for the same period in 1890, 81 1856, 743.
On the Atlantic system the earnings
for August amounted to 1915, 5S7, while
for the same month in 1890 the figures
given are 81, 127 1874. The operating ex-
$731 1879. On the system there was
an excess of earnings over operating

The net earnings OF both systems for
the first eight months of this year and
up to September LIST amounted to ST.
