The enormity that the Prohibition

The enormity that the Prohibition
party is opposingis stupendous, and
is pcrvading everything from the
capitol at Washington down to the
magistrates office. I stand almost
alone in this State in my efforts in
journalism to oppose it.
] am limited in my means OF
publication, and have not at my
command long daily columns with
which to meet the apologies for the
liquor crime that come from every
quarter Of the State.
/ am driven, in defense of my
cause, to put into the most con-
densed form my rcioindcrs to these
apologists.
Many of them are far more
trcnchant in the handling of their
pens in the discussion of theories
and political distractions than |
am. But when we come to hard
pan facts about the horrors of the
liquor iniquity have the advan-
tage of them.
These are all the more striking
and startling when they invade the
homes of those we know.
know that l am right in my
desire to crush this in fanny, and |
know that every intelligent man is
wrong who fails to proclaim in un-
mistakable language his opposition
to it, and as a defender of that
which is just and right, though I
may be honestly mistaken in my
view, it seems to me that all OPP
portunity must be made tributary
to this great end.
This is written after. the article
headed "The Outlook for, a State
Organ" is partly in type, and it
may be that the whole matter has
occurred opportunely for the good
of the Prohibition party.
1t may, BY many, be regarded as
an instance of imperfection that
would unfit me for the editorship
of a State organ. This is an i'm.
portant thing to be considered if
my name is to be used in that
connection.
!, Probably l might be more con-
servative as an employed editor of
a stock company, but this is not a
thing about which l can speak
with assurance.

track for once, and | believe the
Kentucky Prohibitionists will al
most to Il man see it the same
way.
If | am wrong in my under
standing of this editorial l want
the Voice to say so, and if | am
right in my Interpretation of it |
want the Voice to reconsider its
position and abandon it if it con-
scientiously can.
If it was any other Prohibition
paper in the world we would not
regard it as so important, but the
Voice is the National organ, and
it must r0ice the sentiments of our
people.
If | know the mind of Ken
tucky Prohibitionists we want to
be designate as Proht5itionists.
We expect others to object to our
name just as they do to our prin-
ciples, but we do not care.
We do not know anything of
any such thing as "a Prohibition
ist out of the party.S We have
no test of fellowship except that
a man votes cih the party and
that makes him In the party.

WELL PLEASED WITH WICHITA.

Mr. Will Larkin, of the Larkin Com
mission company on North Market street.
is one of the recent arrivals in the city who
is not sorry that he located here. His
business has not been established two
weeks. but nevertheless he is prospering
and his house bids fair to become one of
the most successful commercial institu-
tions in the city. He is a gentleman of
business experience and knows good
thing when he sees it. He has been in the
commission business tor many years in
Kansas City. but thinking other cities Of
fered better Inducements, he concluded
short time ago to leave the burg at the
mouth of the Kaw. Springfield, he
thought, offered good inducements and he
went there, but he found the locality not
to his liking. He then tried Joplin with
the same result. Lincoln, Neh., was
pointed out to him and he started for that
point, and after investigating he found the
capital of Nebraska barren of the induce
ments he thought it offered him. From
there he went to Beatrice, Neb., and found
that place exceedingly dull and not at all
suitable to his business.
While investigating the merits of these
cities, one peculiar fact made its I'M
press upon his mind, and that was
that everybody spoke about Wichita
as the best business point in the west, and
the city that was most likely to become
! great metropolis and business center. He
came here and began Investigating for
himself and he was not long making up
his mind to locate here. He saw at
glance that this city was the coming Chi
cago. He made up his mind to this fact
when he reflected on the vast area of fine
uuoccupied land that lies contiguous to the
city. and which he, as well as everybody
| else. have reasons to believe will be soon
opened for settlement. He saw from the
| nature of things that when these lands are
opened the opportunities for doing thirty
| ing cash business will be greatly en-
| hauced.
"Wichita beats Kansas City all to
pieces. " said he yesterday to an EAGLE re-
porter, las present and prospective busi-
ness point. 1t has a better territory to do
| business in and is more convenient to the
nroducers and consumers of such goods as
we commission men buy and sell 1t is a
much better city to do business in, IN my
| estimation, than Kansas City is, and for
many reasons chief among which Is the
comparatively low expenses incident TO
operating a business house here.
| Mr.. Larkin is enthusiastic about the
| business outlook for Wichita and Is de-
eidedly glad that he is located here.

A SOUTHERN VISITOR.


Woods White, Esq, of Atlanta, Ga,
who is visiting the family of Captain
Powell, made the EAGLE office pleasant
call in company with the last named gen
tleman yesterday. Mr.. White, who is
prominent business man of that beautiful
and prosperous southern city, expressed
himself as being delighted with Wichita,
further expressing the opinion that the
Peerless Princess must inevitably become
in the near future as great as the calcula-
tions of the most sanguine. He finds less
depressions and more signs of hopeful en-
terprise here than in any town he has vis-
tied in the west The reaction from the
period of wild speculation he says, did not
fail to leave some OF its annoying results
with the growing cities of the south also,
but that the times are improving and the
business outlook grows more encouraging.
