The democratic vote to which Governor
Lewelling owes his election is unanimous
in favor Of ''the wiping out OfprohibitiOn,"
Rs the Democrat suggests. The influences
that brought about the nomination Of Gov
srnor Lewelling, as we understand it, are
decidedly anti-prohibitiOn, and the Capital
believes the incoming state administration
will do all in its power officially to break
down prohibition. Capital, December 4.
It matters very little what the Cap
ital believes. It's opinion upon any
subject has very little influence where
it is known, but it would seem that
common decency would prompt it to
want until the policy of the incoming
administration can be determined by
its acts before seeking to prejudice
public opinion by groundless accu-
sstions. Already we have seen in
the New York Voice, in the Lever,
and in other eastern prohibition pa
pers, statements that the Peoples
party in Kansas proposes to repeal
all existing laws upon the liquor ques-
tion, and reopen the saloons in every
village and hamlet in the state.
Where do they get this information? I?
They get it from just such unwar-
ranted statements as this in the Capt.
tai, and yet the Capital talks about
injuring the credit of the state.
We have not consulted Mr.. LEVEL
ling particularly upon this subject,
but we know something Of the man,
and without knowing anything more
we are willing to guarantee that he
will not violate or disregard his Off
cial oath to faithfully execute the
laws as they exist, SO far as 1t is pos
sible to do so.
Experience has shown that prohib-
tory Legislation has failed to suppress
the liquor traffic. While we have
voted for and sustained the policy of
prohibition, we do not regard it as
affording much promise of the sc-
complishment of the ultimate object
which good temperance men and
women have IN view. 1t fails to strike
at the root Of the evil. Nevertheless
we are not in favor of taking any
backward steps. Kansas generally
moves forward, and the proposition
to eliminate the element of profit
from the traffic seems now to promise
the best results of any plan yet pro-
posed for the solution Of this prob
lem.

Featherstonisrn Is Ciaytonism. .t.4 all


 A Third party organ in Arkansas
 wants it distinctly understood that the
 populites are as strong against the force bill as the democrats. It will be
 difficult to make the people of Arkan- sas believe 1t. The evidence IS against
 it. The most influential leader of the populites in Arkansas is l.. |. Feath-
 erston. He was the leading spirit in the populite convention, and could not rise from his seat without being hon. ored with d round of cheers. He was chosen to head the Arkansas delegation to the Omaha convention. Featherston is the man who was seated by Reed s congress In place of Judge Cate, the lawfully elected democrat. He voted with the republicans 10 unseat every democrat whose seat was contested and fill his place with Mckinley bill. force
 bill radical. The house was very close
 between the two parties, according to
 the returns, and it was necessary to arbitrarily increase the majority in or der to make the force bill and Mckinley
 bill sure. It was very important, therefore, that Featherston's aid should
 be secured. 1t was obtained. After
 he had himself got his seat by robbery
 he proceeded to help complete the foul
 work. Then he voted and worked for
 the force bill itself and has been an ardent supporter of it ever since. He
 is doing everything in his power to
 bring back the halcyon days when Powell Clayton with his negro ruflians
 and murderers made life burden to
 the respectable people of Arkansas; when to be white man was to be a victim of persecution, robbery and <xSh, .,f s.,,l xtstf al, from which there was no escape except by joining the robber horde and find protection in disgrace and profit in the generation of all honest men. TAese were the days when men like John SfSs Dowell fattened on the calamity of
 honest men by abjuring their own race and becoming the associate and companion of negro chicken thieves and ruflians. These days Featherston l wants to bring back. And Feather ston is the dearly beloved, the wor-
 shiped leader of the populites. Yet we are told that this party is opposed
 to the force bill Why don't they say so? When has any populite conven- tion declared against it? Why didn't the p0pulites of Arkansas put them
 selves on record on this question when l they made their platform? Why was
 all reference to it omitted from the
 Omaha platform2 There can be no
 foolinp the people on this question. A party which forms secret combinations with republicans to defeat the Demo.
 cratic party is capable of any villiany
 or any treachery Tue white people of | Arkansas will be safe in taking it for
 granted that Featherstonism goes
 with Featherston. And Featherston-
 ism is Claytonism.

HOW HE RODE.
A Witness Whose Evidence was Entirely
 Literal

Literal. The character of tine old Illinois courts, in which Abraham Lincoln practiced, was very primitive, says a writer in The Century. In one case 1 lliverystable horse had died soon after being returned, and the person who had hired it was sued for damages. The question turned largely upon the reputation of the defendant as hard rider. A witness was called--a long, lank Westerner. How does Mir. So-and-so usually ride?" asked the lawyer. Without a gleam of intelligence the witness replied: "A-straddle, sir"
 No, no" said the lawyer, 1T mean does iie usually walk, or .trot. or gall lopYv searching in the depths of his memory for facts, '.when he rides a walkin' horse he walks, when he rides trottin' horse he trots, an when he rides gall lopin' horse he gallops, when"
 The lawyer was angry. "I want to know what gait the defendant usually takes fast or slow2"
 Wal" said the witness, "wben his company rides fast he rides fast, an when his company rides slow he rides slowN
 II want to know, sir,' the lawyer said, very much exasperated, and very stern now, ''how MT. So-and-so rides when he is alone?o
 Wal" said the witness, more slowly and meditatively than ever, ''when he was alone 1 wa'n't along, an l don't know.''
 The laugh at the questioner ended the cross-examination.

CIeveiand's Popularity.

Tempe (Ar!Z.l News.
 The people who ignorantly talk oi the decline of Cleveland's popularity from 1884 to 1888 would do we'll to take a glance at the election returns. IL New York Cleveland received 72,S1l more votes in 1888 than in 1881; il New Jersey, 23,Tl0 more; in Indiana, 6,023 naere anc in Connecticut, 772l more. New York gave him l00, ,00C more votes in 1888 than in 1882, when he was elected Governor of that state by plurality of nearly I92 ,000 Al though defeated by the electoral college system, his total vote in 1888 was 5. 536 ,242-an increase of 661 ,256 over his vote in 1884, and popular plurality of 95.534 over Harrison. In 1884 his plu. rality over Blaine was 23 ,005 votes So far from declining, Cleveland's popularity has increased with accel. erating pace, and there is no more striking proof of this fact than in the enthusiasm with which most of the states have elected delegates to nomi nate him at Chicago, in spite of the intrigues of rivals and politicians.

 In adnition to the shouldering of this monstrous aggregate on the coun- try in the shape of bonded debt, the Peoples partyproposed to ease the al ready bloated patronage of a govern ment of partiesn not less than 1000 ,000 offices and servants.
 A contemporary says these features of policy which are 80 fascinating to the Peoples party leaders are not orig inal with them. They are borrowed impartially from the wild fanaticism of the French anarchists and German socialists, and from German and Rus sian imperial and despotic policies Their adoption would at once build up an intolerble official oligarchy, that could only be overthfown by violent revolution. forcing the people to re- organize, either as d republic or des- potism, amid the ruins of industry and the effacement of property.

 General William H. Brown was sheriff of Fl Dorado county and he tells of q peculiar incident that oc- cured to him at that period. He was en route to San Quentin from Fl Dorado with a prisoner convicted of man. slaughter and sentenced to solitary confinement for twenty years. Upon arriving here they registered at the Russ house, intending to go to San Quentin the following day. Sheriff Brown wished to be somewhere else that evening, and having unlimited confidence in his prisoner, left him alone at the hotel, telling him that he would call for him at o'clock in the morning That hour arrived but Brown dId not. The prisoner waited for him one hour and then another, and finally, becoming worried at Browns on-appearance, he started out to find him. After long search he saw Brown on Kearny street talking to a friend. He approached him from be- hind and, tapping on his shoulder to attract his attention, he said:
 By thunder. sheriff, thought you had escaped me.'
