A Kansas Crime.

The state administration is at present
engaged in an attempt TO crush Wichita.
That town was built on a cattle trail in
the desert, and has long been known as
an example of what push will do II is
a crime that the present administration
shows no other vigor than that displayed
in the attempt to crush Wichita.
There has been no immigration to Kan
sas since the prohibitory law was adopt
ed; the quarreling now going on At wich-
ita has taken the place of the old Kansas
spirit of progression. II is useless to talk
about Million clubs until the prohibitory
law is repealed.
We do not say this in a spirit of con-
tention; Kansas has made mistake and
should rectify il. Seven out or ten level
headed Prohibitionists admit that the law
is troublesome and ineffective, and do not
know what to do with IL.
Under such circumstances there is only
one thing TO do: get rid of il. Evidence
is positive that high license law would
better control the liquor traffic, and get
rid of the present disgraceful quarreiing.
Governor Morrill, does not believe in the
law. and is on record as saying so. No
rational man believes in il. unless he
thrives on dissension and strife. Should
not Kansas people assert their common
sense and get rid of that which has never
done any good, and which is constantly
doing harm?
1t is folly to say that Wichita should
obey the law" The prohibitory law is
not obeyed anywhere, except in commun-
titles where there would be no saloons
under high license. The row is going on
in Maine, the home of prohibition; 1t will
go on in Kansas until we get rid of the
law. The county in which Wichita is
located has spent $4,000 trying TO enforce
the law. The time for foolish talk has
passed; Kansas men of common sense
and fairness should get together, express
their honest convictions about this law
and get rid of it.
1t may be said that The Globe is too
persistent on this subject. The Globe is
persistent because the subject is an i'm
portant one; because the time has arrived
when something should be done. Prohi-
bition bears the same relation to temper
ance that the Salvation Army bears 10
religion. If Kansas should adopt law
closing the churches, and providing that
worship should only be carried on in the
streets, in connection with bass drums
and horns, it would he no sin TO repeal the
law, and admit the mistake.-Atchison
Globe.

NO. MURDOCH HAS NOT GONE.

Murdoch has gone to the Rocky noun
tains to escape the turmoil precipitated
upon Wichita-Twenty State Exchanges.
Murdoch has not gone to the noun
tafns, nor is he going to the noun
tains. or anywhere else, for the pres
ent. After nearly year of incessant
writing. almost day and niSht,-a
strain of mental toll that few outside
of an editorial room have any con-
ception.-we had hoped for and count
ed on a months rest. But just as
we were ready to make such an ar
rangement, some fellows, knowing OF
no other way seemingly of impress
ing their Importance upon the COM
munity. or of renewing their grasp
upon their individual situations, or
ganized a crusade, the success OF
which meant discomfort, meant appre-
hension and destruction Of confidence
and the wrecking of business. ard
consequently. farther depression OF
nroperty and values Some Of the
prime movers of this war, which is
driving good men from the city, and
which has contracted every line of re-
tail business and decreased WichitaS
bank clearings to an alarming extent,
diyerting a large amount of jobbing
and livestock trade to Kansas City,
these would-be moral mentors and bus
mess busy-bodies, having accomplish
ed that which they started out to do,
took their own annual outings, in great
glee and comfort, evidently little car
ing for what they left behind and less
for the fact that they had doomed one
oyerworked wretch who had always
wished them well, to not only stay at
home to help counterfeit their disas-
trous work, but that they had effectu-
ally thwarted every chance he had for
any rest for at least another year. The
thought Of all the weary days and
nights of incessant writing and weari-
ness to come before another oppOrtun-
ity can present itself to lie down in
utter unconcern, to rest, makes one
wish, most heartily, that those who
preach love and charity had more of
it in their own hearts, or less OF
worldly ambition for nOtoriety and vain
glory. Some of these men having rem
dered our much-needed holiday an
impossibility now go so far as to even
declare that they wish the Eagle could
be bankrupted and our daily bread ut

they really demand it. However, that
would be no more nor any worse than
has been the result of their actions
to many others, and to better men
presumably than the editor Of the
Eagle.
The announcement that Murdoch had
gone to the mountains was a false
hood started by a sheet in this city,
a falsehood. out Of whole cloth made
by a tool of the men who have no in
terest in Wichita farther than what
they can get out OF our people in the
way of annual salaries, premiums on
life insurance, and fire policies, and
margins on commission business, to-
gether with attorneys fees and the
like profits, was made by their organ
editor, who poses in the interest Of
temperance and righteous
ness, but who is just as certainly a |
dirty liar, therefore too contemplate to !
even locate or name.

KERNEL BLACKWELL FREE AGAIN

Colonel Blackwell, Indian bogie-man,
heap big medicine man, builder of the
temple for the perpetuation Of the
Indian religion, also builder of three
or four lines Of railroads, builder of
several towns, prosecuted and prose
cuted, jailed and jeered, Colonel Black
we'll has risen again. His enemies are
dying off forcibly) and the light Of
reason is breaking in on the Coowee-
cooswee district of the kingdom Of Cher
okee. and the day is coming when
Colonel Blackwell can build all the
towns and railroads and Indian tenn
pies he wants to.
His last Imprisonment and trial was
a farce just as the previous arrests
were, except that during the last in
generation, the blooming, red-headed
colonel did not put out any Of those
delightfully."- delirious stories of being
tortured with red-hot irons. But 1t
was farce just the same. The David
Progress, the property also of Colonel
Blackwell, gives forth the following
in Stent0rlan tones:
"Yes. a mistake and a serious one
has been made. 1t was serious mis-
take for the Cherokee nation to pay
Hoolie Bell $500 to prosecute Colonel
Blackwell for an offense never commit
ted, then have Mr.. Bell get up in open
court and acknowledge such mistake.
1t must be Queen Lii Of Hawaii, and
not the prosecuting attorney Of Coo
weescoOwee district.
THE first mistake was made when
the first indictment was brought against
Colonel Blackwell, and as the whole
matter has been a mistake-and rea-
soning from the old stand of naught
from naught and naught remains-take
mistake from mistake and mistake still
remains. 1t was a mistake TO try to
convict Colonel Blackwell of a wrong
which is in wholesale practice in all
the other towns in the nation.
''And it was a mistake 10 prosecute
a man who openly avowed for allot-
ment, against the then strong senti-
ment against it. 1t will prove mis-
take for the anti7a1otment leaders TO
prosecute men like Colonel Blackwell,
who always stand in the front ranks
for progression, industry, thrift and
enlightenment
while the leaders and few insig-
nificant little villages. decked in their
war paint of mistakes. with plVmage
Of fragrant jealousy and malice. go on
making these eggregious blunders. the
cause Of justice and progression is
only hindered for 4 while and not
checked.
However. as the time advances, and
uncontroverSial evidence tends 10 show
that the Cherokee people are awaken
ing 10 the situation here, they see their
own interests. and will throw off the
yoke
