HE IS WITHOUT APPROACH
LONDON DAILY NEVIS COMMENTS ON
 THE RESOLUTION.
Remarks Made in the House on the Re- buke That Was Called Eor-senator Frye Said That if He Was Ambassador He Would Certainly Resign His Position.

Would Certainly Resign His Position.
 London, Feb. 4-The Daily News comments upon the fact that Ambassa- dor Bayard has issued to the press his correspondence with the Washington government anent the speeches deliver ed by him at Edinburgh and Boston, which called forth the resolution of censure adapted by the committee on foreign relations of the house. The pa per says that Mr. Bayard has shown by his action that he is as much with out fear as his ancient namesake, the Chevalier Bayard, who was without fear and without reproach.
 It adds that more of those who read the correspondence with candor will think that he is almost equally without reproach. It concludes:
 He makes merry at the expense of congress. We firmly believe for the sake of our great kindred people that the affair will come to nothing. All the same, MT. Bayard had better not do it again"
 Washington, Feb. 3.--ln the house to-day Representative Mccall, rep, of Massachusetts, who offered the resolu- ton of inquiry calling for the corre- spondence, said:
 If the president had administered a rebuke to MT. Bayard, although a mild one, I believe that nothing would have been done by the house. But since it appears that no action has been taken hoc Mr. Pauard'c cnapph- es before it in response to it's resolution of inquiry, the house is bound, in jus tite to itself, to pass such a resolution 4s the case requires. Personally, l shall take no pleasure in seeing MT. Bayard retire from a position for which he has shown a good deal of fitness, but his speeches were an affront to the great nation he represents, and since the president has been silent, it will de- volve upon the house to make such declaration as the national honor de- mards.
 Were I the ambassador to Great Britain and the circumstances were such as in this case, would certainly resign" said Senator Frye of Maine, a republican.
 MT. McCreary of Kentucky, who was chairman of the house foreign affalrs committee during the past two con- gresses, and who is now its ranking democratic p,ember, stated that what ever he had to say regarding the mat ter would be contained in his speech defending MT. Bayard when the resolu- tions of censure come before the house. He will assert in his speech that the ac- tion of the house is unprecedented and that it is an invasion of the executive power. It is learned that at the meet ing of the committee last Saturday the republicans proposed the adoption of a resolution simply stating that Anleri- can representatives abroad should not discuss publicly the affairs of this coun- try It was intended that this admoni- ton should be general and that MT. Bayard's name should not appear in it..
 The democrats refused to agree to this and some of the younger members of the committee forced through the resolutions already made public.

We DON'T RAvE PROHIBITION.

WE DON'T HAVE PROHIBITION.
1t is somewhat peculiar that the tenn
perance people Of Topeka are making
such a fuss about the joints during
Fall Festival week. AS a matter of
fact, joints have been running in To-
peka for months There were some
more during Festival week than be-
fore that is all The joints are rum
ming right along, and neither the sheriff
nor the police commissioners make ser
ious efforts to stop them. There are
two or three joints on East Seventh
street in constant operation, besides
others in various parts Of the city. As
a matter Of news. the Journal has
printed the location Of these joints
several times.
The churches have taken no action,
neither have the temperance societies,
nor have the officers of the law. They
all appear to lack interest in the mat
ter-or courage. If the people in To-
peka don't want to enforce the law. the
law win not be enforced. ut must be
said, however, that there are several
hypocrites in temperance circles in To-
peka, who have always pretended they
were in favor of enforcing the law who
are now apologizing for those whose
duty it is to enforce it.
A wide open season of the saloon
with murders. riot. arson. social evil
and everything that accompanies
whisky's rule would be an eye-opener
for Topeka. She has been decent 50
long that she has forgotten what it is

state has lain down" in the fight for
morality and the whole state feels it,
even Topeka. When a good Repubu-
can governor. who, of course. stands
next to the arch-angels. according to
partisan belief. retires from the fray.
the average Republican loses his hold
on things mundane and spiritual and
goes cropping. There is a general let
ting down in all things moral, merely
because Governor NIorrilrs backbone,
weak from the beginning, gave way
under the strain. When the gen
eraI surrenders the army can't keep on
fighting. Governor Morrill, struck the
most terrible blow that prohibition ever
received in this state-and ali through
pure political cowardice.

CANNOT COLLECT TAXES.
The Waterworks Company Need n OF

the Citv.

Judge Foster has decided a single
phase Of the waterworks tax case.
The main question Of whether the plant
is taxable in the city or in Topeka
township. where the pump is located,
was not touched.
An attempt was made on behalf of
the city to collect for the benefit Of the
city the taxes for 1894 and 1895. The
company had already paid the taxes in
Topeka township. but the attorneys for
the city claimed that they We're still
due because they had not been paid in

The attorneys for the water company
claimed that since the taxes had all
ready been paid in Topeka township
they could not be collected again, and
Judge Foster so decided
AS the matter stands now the water
plant is on the tax rolls as taxable in
the city of Topeka, the county com
nissfoners having decided that is where
the tax should be paid. 1T remains to
be seen what steps the company will
take to avoid paying the taxes in the
city. The city will lose about $4,000 a
year if the taxes are not paid in the
city
