THIRTEEN democrats were given

THIRTEEN democrats we're given
places in Kansas this week. Mr..
Cleveland displays unusuall keen fore.
sight in taking advantage of the lull
in Congress now, 70 appoint democrat
postmasters. 1t is going to be diff.
fult matter to find as many as thir-
teen Of the faithful in Kansas after
the present Congress gets throggh
with the tariff bill and the finances of
the country.
The Kansas blackman., 1894-06-08

NEVER since 1860 until March 4th,
1898, was there an opportunity to
fully contrast republican and demo-
cratic times. While Cleveland was
president from 1885 to 1889, the re-
publicans had the senate and perni-
cious legislation was thwarted. The
past fifteen months, though. has
afforded an object lesson. 1t has
come home most forciblY not only to
those former republicans who assisted
directly in Cleveland's election but to
those, who dissatisfied with republican
rule, helped some side party and thus
contributed to the same end, as we'll.
They will not be fooled again. The
experiment will not be repeated. They
will again be found with the party of
their earlier years, working for its
success and by improving it hoping TO
eradicate whatever of unfairness,
wrong or injustice that may have
grown up under rur system of govern
ment.

DR.. A. NJ. Callahan, who is a cam
didate for clerk of the district court
has been resident of Topeka for the
last twenty-eight years. He has
always been a republican. He has
never held an Office except member of
school board, in which capacity he
served the people of Topeka for a
number of years. The doctor is an
old soldier having served in the army
three years and eight months. He
had the misfortune to be captured
with Col. Straight and his command
and was prisoner of war for nearly
twenty months. Many of his friends
have expressed surprise that he should
give up his practice and seek an
Office. The facts are, that his health
failed nine years ago, and for seven
years he was either confined to his
house, or absent from home in search
of health from four to seven months
of each year; and able to do but little
at his profession during the remainder
of each year. As result, when his
health became restored year and a
half ago sufficiently TO enable him to
enter into active practice, he found -
az might be reasonably supposed-that
his practice had largely fallen into
other competent hands, and his sick
ness had embarrassed him profession
ally and financially and had left him
greatly in debt. This is why he asks

PROHIBITION IN THE DOMINION.
Nova Scotia Likely to Stop the Liquor

Montreal, March AN instance Of
the rapid growth of the prohibition senti-
ment in the Dominion is furnished By
the fact that the government Of Nova
Scotia has introduced bill in the legis-
lature to orler "a prohibition plebicite at
the approaching provincial elections,
There Is no doubt what the result will
be Practical prohibition already pre-
walls in Nova Scotia. In the maritime
provinces the Scott act. prohibiting the
liquor rtathc, has been success. I'm
like Ontario and Quebec the maritime
provinces are not omen TO the entrance
of whisky from all sides and Il has been
possible largely to maintain restrictive
laws. Nova Scotia has eighteen counties
and one city, Thirteen counties ndopted
the Scott act eight ten or twelve years
ago, aud of these counties only one ever
repealed the act. In five of the remain
ing six counties no licenses are issued.
There is prohibition. therefore, In sixteen
counties in Nova Scotia; liquor can le-
gally be sold but In two counties and in
the Que city, Halifax. This state of
affairs Indicates that Nova Scotia will
follow the lead Of Ontario. Prince I'd,
