GOVERNOR FELr,s CONCLUSION.
From the Lawrence Record.

| From the Lawrence Record.
The Atciiscn Champion devotes two
| columns and half 10 one of the most
pungent and caustic reviews Of the
| political situation in Kansas from Re.
publican standpoint ever furnished by
any newspaper. Here is description
of the recent policy of the party:
Since the death of Preston B. Plumb the
party has stood around in the rain like a
I lot Of lame ducks and eve lambs on bleak
side hill with the wolves on one flank and
lot of long haired goats on the other.
In trying to make peace with the wolves.
the goats captured the gyanary. The
wolves Clipped 10 with them, all but a
few who declared they were the only real
wolves from way back" from the head
waters OF Bitter creek" and they are out
in the wet with the lambs.
The Champion concludes that this
policy must be abandoned. 1t contin-
ues:
1t is time to quit monkeying. The buzz.
saw runs awfuily fast and is as keen as a
razor. The main trouble with the Repub-
lican party in Kansas has been the dispo-
sition of its leaders to become sort of
company q, all tie time on parade by
itself away from the regiments, brigades
and divisions of the Republican army of
the United States. 1t is time to about
face. Alignment of the ranks is in order
1t needs to be done soon. There ought to
be Republican revival in Kansas. There
has been enough quarreling about line
fences 1t is time to get the ground ready
for crop.
All this is preliminary. This is but the
diagnosis more or less correct, of the di-
seased patient. What shall be the cure
1t is not difficult for an Atchison prac-
titioner to determine what this shall be.
By an easy grade. the water dropped
naturally 10 the main, and SO far as his
review relates, almost the only cause of
this party deterioration. The only
course, which Ioosened from the fateful
box and spread destruction throughout
Republican camps was prohibition.
Hear the Champion:
More liquor is drank, more of It is
The Republicans have carried the odium
of making the law and added to that they
have been cursed because it is not en-
forced.
Two admissions, both of grave mo-
ment. The Republicans made the law,
and they did not enforce it. The
initial statement that more liquor is
sold and drank in Kansas than in
1880, the Record made three years ago,
aud was soundly berated for it by Re
publican papers. 1t was true then, it is
admittedly true, now.
But the Champion has remedy. 1t
thus propQunds it.
1t (Prohibition) has been a nightmare to
the Republican party. Politicians have
played horse with it long enough. The
law was made a political hobby. It was
ridden to death. 1t helped to land horse
and rider in the ditch. Let purely moral
questions stand aloof from politics. There
are thousands of drunken Democrats and
drunken Republicans and thousands Of
drunken Populists and drunken Prchibi-
tionists. The good men of all parties
favor temperance. You can safely trust
the questions at the firesides Of the land.

A dispatch from Washington says that
in response to an inquiry made day or
two ago the supreme court has announced
that it would be ready to render decision
in the Smith-1owpsend sooner case IN two
weeks. The briefs were all filed nearly
two weeks ago, and the evidence was in
the form of an agreed statement OF facts.
The case has been brought in such a man
ner as to cover every point raised as to the
validity and Interpretation of the sooner
law.
Captain P. Stanley of Silverton, COL.
accompanied by Thomas Sewell, c. j,
Gain and j. Clark of Denver, went down
to Albuquerque, n. NJ, one week ago to
prospect in the old Spanish copper canon.
While prospecting in what is known as
DEVILS Gulch. they were astonished be-
yond all measure at a CHASTITY discovery
they made there in the way of a lot Of
skeletons of company of soldiers that
have been missing from Fort Mary ever
since the memorable day of the Apache
raid on Espanola, Sept. 9. 1879 1t was
supposed that they had been massacred
by the Apaches, as not one of
them ever returned. but it seems
they all must have drank
from the poisonous Verdigris spring,
where their skeletons have been
bleaching for the last twelve years. Forty
three skeletons, some of them still en-
cased in uniforms, three piles of guns
stand stacked as they left them, lot of
ammunition and the skeletons of forty
five horses constituted the extent Of the
CHASTITY discovery of Captain Stanley and
his party.

A FIGHT TO THE FINISH.

Politically speaking, it is very COM
Portable to know just where you stand,
always. The uncertainty as to final re-
suits renders a non-partizan fight I'M
satisfactory even in victory. The an
nouncement by the central committee
that straight Republican city ticket
would be nominated this spring for
Wichita rendered square out and out
fight between the Republicans and
Demo-Pop forces inevitable. Jobbers and
heelers might plan never SO shrewdly
and persuade never so earnestly for per-
sonaI favorites, the fact that grave IS
sues and far reaching principles were in
volved rendered straight-out fight in
the end and to the finish not only unavoid-
able but desirable. The reason why
there should be such contest in this as
in every city in this state was furnished
by the last legislature. 1t is q square
question as to whether the people Of
Wichita endorse Lewelling and all that
has been said. done, promised and
threatened by his administration in the
last two months, or not. Has the Pop
idea come to stay and the fusion pro-
program in Wichita, and the state? is
the sole question, the only issue. While
the Republicans have nominated one of
the best and cleanest tickets possible, the
fight is not and cannot be made
a personal one or one for or against the
the individual. Arrayed against it is the
essence, the spirit and the personality of
the Demo-Pop fusion which made Lew
cling governor, Artz adjutant general,
Mrs. Mary f, Lease the president of the
most responsible board in the state, and
which elected the Pop senate and the
Dunsmore house. The contest, there
fore. would have been just as sharply
defined had the fusion managers sue
ceeded in beguiling some Republican
into accepting the nomination for mayor.
But as it is there's not even that dis
traction. The one ticket is clean
Republican, the other straight
out Demo-Pcp from top to bottom.
There will be no particular call for
speeches or for any other species of
hurrah. Every man knows intuitively
how he stands with reference to the
pressing issue which now confronts
Kansas, whether he is for what the state
has had but q taste of this winter, or
whether he is against all such revoiu-
tionarv ideas and methods. The ques-
ton is not what men, but what policy,
is there in store for US, as people, in
the future. The place to settle this
question. first, is in townships, wards,
cities and counties and the quicker it is
settled the better it will be tor the state
and for every individual inbabitant
thereof.

From the Atchison Champion.
The breaking of ar ice gorge at Oma-
ha and the Platte river pouring Its ice
into the Missouri have filled it full of
floating ice. Great cakes, an acre IN ex-
tent. covered with snow and debris have
yearly checked the river at this point.
The water company had to stop pump
ing and persons owning boats pulled
them nut on the bank to avoid having
them demolished. The river is very
high and swift and will probably do
some damage before it recedes.

LITERARY NOTES.

Mr.. Howells' latest novel, ''The Coast
Of Bohemia" now running through the
pages of the Ladies' Home Journal, was
written in four different States. Mr..
Howells began the novel at his fathers
home in Ohio last May; continued it in
Boston IN June; took it to the mountains
of New Hampshire during the summer
and worked at it; brought it to New
York and wrote number of chapters
there in October; took it hack again to
Ohio in November, and finally finished
it in New York last December. And
yet, despite ell these changes of
places of writing, the novel turns out
really to be the brightest piece of work
that Howells has done for long time.
While writing with all the scientific
knowledge of great astronomer,

story ''Omega: The End of the World"
