Douglass Makes q Suggestion.


out by Rev. Wake and the assertions
on the other side Of satisfaction in
present conditions, there are many
Republicans who feel that the party
needs more definite understanding
on the prohibition question. George
Douglass, Of Wichita, speaker Of the
house during the stormy 1898 rebel
lion, makes this suggestion, and it is
worth considering:
ITO casual observer the resub-
mission question is assuming an as
pect very threatening to Republican
success in Kansas. Several years ago
when the friends Of prohibition were
nearly all in the Republican fold and
the party enjoyed an overwhelming
majority, the discomfort Of fifteen or
twenty thousand voters was matter
Of comparatively small moment. But
in 1890, when Populism had gathered
a hundred thousand recruits, the re-
submission discomfort suddenly be-
came an important factor; and today
with a Populist party Of l25,oOo, the
possibility Of a split in the Republican
ranks is serious.
The resubmission sentiment ID
strongest in the towns and cities and
these are generally Republican strong.
holds. A secret organizations grow.
ing throughout the state, the purpose.
Of which Is to secure the solid vote Of
IT'D members for that party and those
candidates only who are avowedly in
favor Of resubmitting the question Of
prohibition. II Republicans and Pop
ulists ignore the prohibition issue, as
both did in 1894, the inevitable result
Of the present movement will be q
large increase In the Democratic vote
at the expense Of the Republicans.
"This result in connection with the
discomfort from other causes, and the
further fact that party ties are even
weaker now than they were in 1890,
would greatly jeopardize Republican
prospects next fall.
"On the other hand, il the Popu-
lists should take ground in favor Of
another vote on prohibition they are
likely to add to their strength the
bulk OF the Democratic and Mystic
Brotherhood vote.
oThe plan now being discussed
among Populists is not to adopt the
resubmission idea in a manner indi'
eating unfriendliness to prohibition,
but upon the express ground that thu
Populists are the party Of the people
and are always ready to trust the
people, etc, etc. 1t Is evident thai
whether the Populists do or do moi
take up this issue, a condition con
fronts Republicans demanding serious
consideration. And what are Repub
licaus doing about itp Quarreline
among themselves as never before II
Ten years.
Instead Of cliques representing
special views getting off by them
selves, scheming and planning, ther'
should be held at an early day, lonl
before either state convention, ful
conference Of Republicans Of al
shades Of opinion from all parts o
the state to talk over matters Of vita
interest to the whole party

Patriotism vs.. Advertising.

The American is always an adver-
tiser. Sometimes he does it one way
and sometimes another. His latest
fashion has been by offering gold to
the government in exchange fol
bonds. A New York paper reports
that 1t has received subscriptions
amounting to SIG, oS6, 900 for the new
bonds, and gives the names OF the
banks from which they came. A gen
tleman in the treasury department
has taken pains to compare this list
with the reports from the various
national banks named made in Decem-
Der, and finds that they have only
about one-fourth Of the gold nee
essary to meet their subscriptions,
and that il they paid them in lump,
the available cash Of some 1900 banks
would be reduced to less than 70, 000,.
900, In fact, banks in thirteen Of the
states have subscribed for 80, 1872, 900
more bonds than they have money to
pay for, and in many instances the
subscriptions are two, three and even
four times larger than the available
cash reported to the comptroller OF
the currency. 1t can, therefore, be
assumed that while newspaper booms
may be fair test of the patriotism
Of the country they cannot be depend
ed upon as evidence Of financial re-
sponsibility.

Anti.Toxin and niphtheria,

Many people, including large
number Of physicians, have expressed
doubts as to the real value Of the
diphtheria cure, anti-toxin, but exper-
iments in actual use Of the wonderful
remedy seem to Justify most Of the
claims made for it. The Chicago
board Of trade appointed committee
to make a detailed examination Of the
workings Of the remedy. This was
done through several months and the
report was submitted on Monday.
The committee chairman says
"lor the present will content my
self with saying that am entirely
satisfied with the result; that the
members Of the auxiliary corps have
reason to be gratiIied with the show
ing; and that the figures are COM

The Play.

'sLife in Louisiana" is the
attraction at the Robinson hall to-
night. Don't fail to see 1T.
The play abounds with thrilling
and ccomic situations.
Geo. Cluif, as "Salem Scudder"
is at his best, and is shure to win
the admiration of the audience.
"Old Pete" a Negro slave is so
well represented by Warren Smith,
and assisted l,y several other
darkey characters that one is led
to believe he is witnessing a real
plantation scene Of the south.
Josie Cluff in personating the
character of the Octoroon girl is
perfectly at home and makes a
reality of the character.
Mrs. Cluff and Eva Montierth
will represent in pleasing manner,
Mrs. Peyton and Dora Sunneyside.
All the other characters will be
we'll sustained. New scenery will
be used, and altogether it is one OF
thd best plays yet presented to the
public.

National Council of Women.

BosToN, Mass, Nov. 2.-It is per-
haps unfortunate for the interests
Of the National Council of Women
of the United States that the or
ganization holds Its annual meeting
this year while the attention of the
country is engrossed by the Presl-
Dental election. This fact, how
ever, does not seem TO have dis
turbed the membership, and dele
gates to the total of several hun
dred, comprising representative
women from all parts ofthe country
are here to participate in the delib-
erations. The Organization is a
union of twenty national councils
devoted to phianthropic, educat-
ional, clyic, religious and industrial
purposes. 1t has been instrument
al in organizing for similar pur-
poses the women of Canada, France,
Germany, Great Baitian, Sweden
and New Zealand; these, with the
United States, forming the inter-
national council, which meets every
five years, and of which the Coun-
tess of Aberdeen is President.
The present session of the
American council will comprise
three public meetings, as well as
ihc usual business gatherings, at
which papers will be read and
supgcstlons offered concerning
rhllanthropic, educational, indust-
rial and other questions.

SMALLPOX AMoNG pApAGos.

large Numbers of AFFLICTED Papagos in
Sonora Die From the Disease-EEorts
TO stop its Spread Made by Agent
Young.
Papago Indians are dying rapid
" in Sonora, Mexico, from the
ravages Of smallpox and grave
Fears are entertained that the
scourge will cross the border to
this country.
A few days ago Collector of
Customs, Sam Webb, of Nogalcs,
telegraphed Governor Franklin
that smallpox had broken out on
the Mexican side of the border and
stated that there was no sanitary
inspector stationed at that point
to prevent the plague from spread
ing to the American side of the
border. He recommended that
| George w. Chenoweth be appoint
ed to fill the position. The dis
patch was forwarded to Washing
ton to Governor Franklin.
1t is also reported that smallpox
had appeared in the Sacaton Ind
ian agency. Col. ]. Roe Young
was asked if there was any truth
in the report that the disease was
epidemic among the Indians.
"There is not a solitary case of
smallpox on the reservation, al
though the Indians in Sonora are
dying in large numbers. l was
warned several days ago of the
epimedio in Sonora, and immedi-
ately took all necessary precau-
tions to keep the plague from ap-
pearing among the Papagos on the
reservation. | have established a
strict quarantine on the railroad
from Gila Bend to Tucson and all
along the line. Nota Papago is
allowed to cross the line, and l
have issued orders to the Papagos
living along the Mexican border
to stay at home, and not make any
attempt to come into the Sacaton
agency. They generally pay at
tention to my orders and will in
this case, unless they become panic
stricken.
81 have sent squad Of police,
men to patrol the border to drive
back all Indians who attempt to
cross and to investigate all the
villages where smallpox is report
ed.
| "There is no cause for alarm
whatever, as l am satisfied that the
strict quarintine | have instituted
will keep the disease from appear,
ing in this section of the country.
l have sent the agency physician tc
affected districts to make thorough
investigation and to diagnose the
cases, and | am now awaiting HI:
report"
Col. Young said from what he
has learned the smallpox now
epidemic in Mexico is different
from the cases of that disease tha'
have previously come under his
notice. In the cases reported tc
him the patients are covered with
latge sores that fill with maggots
making it very aggravating to
treat them.
The Indians on the Sacaton res,
ervation are in a remarkably heal
thy condition and there is very
little sickness of any nature, due
to the stringent sanitary rules en-
forced by the agent and physician.
The Indians fully appreciate the
danger of smallpox and are taking
proper precautions to prevent out
side Indians from coming on the
reservation. There is absolutely
no danger to this section, as moth
ing will be left undone to confine
the plague to the districts now al;
fected.
