Republican Inconsistency.

The administration is making a regu-
lar farce Of it's pretended efforts to
enforce the prohibitory law. In Leaven-
worth and other cities where the liquor
interest votes the republican ticket,
saloons are permitted to run wide
open without molestation or an attempt
of any kind to close them. But down
in Crawford county, where the Germans
are largely democrats and Populists,
Assistant Attorney General CogSwell
has number of Turn Verein members
in jail because they refuse to state
what was done with q few kegs of
beer shipped to the society. This in
consistent position Of the administra-
ton leads the Lawrence Journal,
republican paper, to suggest that
the place has been reached where the
line should be drawn, and that paper
says so in the following extract:
"The assistant attorney general Of
Crawford county has put the officers
of the local Turn Verein in Jail because
they would not answer questions as to
what was done with the beer shipped
to the society. The assistant attorney
general has cut out for himself Job
of considerable dimensions. The Turn
ers are a secret organization and the
business Of the order is matter that
Is held inviolate by them. Why does
not the state power call up Masonic
members to ask what Is done with wine
and liquors sent to their rooms when
a banquet is held? Why is not every
secret order that holds banquets where
liquors are on the bill called up? There
is place where the line must be drawn,
and it would seem that the authorities
have reached that place"
OF course it would not be necessary
to investigate last winters Leaven-
worth banquet, for our republican
friends took their Jag on at that
time In public.

ABOUT woMEN,s CLUBS.


vogue in Colorado a peculiar change
has come over the papers of that state.
Editors who had ridiculed and sneered
at the idea Of women taking an inter
est in public matters are now treating
the subject In mstter.of. f.fsct manner,
and seem to take delight in doing so.
Even the staid old Rocky Mountain
News has changed it's tone so much in
this respect that the ghost Of John
Arkins would not recognize its voice.
In discussing the subject Of wOmen's
clubs the News gives q fine lecture on
several subjects dear to reformers. 1t
says:
"The old idea that women were in
the world, but not part Of the world,
has been exploded, and men no longer
class women as near to angels, but
inferior to man. The women Of the
world were never SO nearly the ideal
helpmstes they were intended to be as
they are to-day. In every department
of life they are making their power
felt, directly and indirectly. When
they have started in to right women's
wrongs and shield helpless childhood,
they have found themselves confronted
with q question that concerns all hu-
msnity. When they have desired to
be conservative they have found them
selves forced to be liberal. There are no
side issues The wrongs Of mothers
are the wrongs Of the children, and the
children are the race. 1t is a fine
thing to provide summer homes for
overworked shOp-girls, and fresh air
funds for children weary Of the ever
lasting cry, cash, but no intelligent
woman can be enlisted in this or kin
dred work long, without feeling that
the whole system is at fault, and that
she cannot rest from crying out
upon 1t.
"The time has long since passed by
for half measures. It makes little diff
ference In what undertaking women
are engaged, 1t brings them sooner or
later to the ballot.bOx and the legisla-
tive assembly. It is quite useless to
appeal to merchants as q preventive
for child labor. They viii say, and
quite truly, that the money Is needed
by the family or the child would not be
there. Sweaters denS cannot be closed
nor the sight-hour law enforced by
moral suasion. The women Of New
York defeated the Tammany tiger
without the ballot, but they can hardly
be expected to keep up that kind Of
work without discovering that 1t would
be much easier to gain reforms with
the ballot. To compass their victory
they were compelled to do all those
things which men who are opposed to
women'S voting SO greatly deprecate.
They Stumped the city; they held ward
meetings, and had professions with
brass bands; they made speeches; they
went to the polls on election day; they
electioneered and cajoled and implored,
and because they could not vote, al
though they did cheerfully all the hard
work Of the campaign, they are con-
sidered something infinitely finer than
the unfsminine women who simply
walk to the polls on election day and
cast their ballot.

TWO BODIES STOLEN.
GhOuis Make Visit to the Jewish
Cemetery.

Ghouls We're at work in the Jewish GEM

tween the Three Notch and Bluff roads.
Friday night The body of b. Fallender
was stolen, and a body was taken from an
other part of the cemetery, which is oecu-
pied by different class of Jews, and it
could not he learned last night whose body
1t was. The coffin and robes Of the Fallen
der body were left in the grave, and the
earth had been replaced in such manner
that only the closest examination revealed
that it had been disturbed.
Mr. Falender died one week ago yester-
day. at his home, sos South Capitol avenue,
and was buried in the Jewish cemetery.
The family feared that the body might be
taken, and for five nights guard was
kept over the grave. Nothing happened dur
ing that time TO arouse suspicion, and Fri
day night no watch was kept But on Sat
urday morning the sexton discovered that
something wrong about the grave, and
he notified the brother of the dead man.
When he arrived the grave was opened
the shrond in which the body had been
wrapped.
The brother Immediately came to the city
and. with a few intimate friends, made a
search of or two of the medical COL
leges, where he naturally supposed the body
of his brother had been taken. His search
was entirely unsuccessful, however. and
about O'Clock the matter was re-
ported to Superintendent of Police Powell
Mr.. Fallender was very wroth. and offered
10 furnish any amount of money which
might be required to carry on the search.

The board Of directors OF the Indianapolis

The new engine will be fitted with the
Corliss valve gear which will permit OF the
economical use of steam. 1t will cost
without the foundations, about $4,000 and
will weigh 1,2ss,0o0 pounds. The engine, in
addition TO the ordinary condensing APP
paratus, will have an auxiliary appliance
that will permit the operation of the engine
against the heaviest fire-pressure. Super
