RAISE CAIN AT FT.SCOTT
Elder Brant Still Loudly Agi-
tates Prohibition
And the Failure to Enforce 1t
By the State.
Says He Will Not Keep Quiet Until
the Election is Over-SOme Of
the Things He Says.

Fort Scott, Sept.17.-Elder J. z. Brant
still continues his agitation in the
Methodist church against the state ad-
ministration for it's failure to enforce
the prohibitory law there. In his ser
mon last Sunday he said:
Executive officers may patch up a
truce with rumsellers and cry peace,
peace, but there is no peace. They may
enter into a covenant with death and a
league with hell but the league viii
not stand. Men of previous character
and official standing may join hands to
give tone to this business of putting
the bottle to their neighbOrS' lips, but in
the end they will be under a. curse.
JOintistS may sit in political cOnven-
lions and hiss at preachers who protest
against a governor and police commits
SiOnerS who wink at lawlessnesS, but
them if the preachers hold their peace.
we may accept a bride of ten cents
per capita a month assessed by pO-
lice judge and our good citizens who
love peace at any price may keep still
but the braWl of the drunkard at all
hours will give US away. No peace
here under such conditions.
We are told to keep quiet until this
election is over but the assassinS of
Law get in their deadly work. and if a
prOhibitOry law can be disregarded,
why not laws against rights of proper
ty-SO you hear OF theftS, burgIar1eS
and rObberieS and there is no peace.
Saloons, gamblers and harlOts are in
the league and so the devil laughs, and
hell holds high carnival
'JOintists are saints and the preach
erS who protest are sinners. Strangely
enough some preachers prophesy smooth
things and the devil says amen. Preach
ing against treason to the laws of the
state is preaching politics and 50 the
preachers hush up and the deadly war
dance goes on. The governor says we
can't, and the towards say amen, and
so the whisky sellers get government Ii
cense; and the banner of our noble
state with the inscription, Through
difficulty to the Stars is trailed in the
dust Preachers are invited to rear
long, Oh Lord, how long! Not long.
The triumph of the wicked is short
lived. The saving remnant is here.
believe a majority of our people want
our laws enforced. The vast majority
look upon the saloon keeper as the
vilest of men.
In every political meeting something
is said against the danger of anarchy
but this hateful whisky outlaw goes on
preyS upon every legitimate business
disregards every law and bOycotts any
who may protest. The time is near at
hand when law and order people in self
defense must retaliate. Suppose we
trade with our own kind and those
who condemn this crime will soon cry
enough. No, my friends, this war is
just begun and this whisky rebellion
will be put down and then peace and
for night but joy cOmeth in the morn
ing. This kingdom of righteousness
means war but in the end enduring

100000 ON THE TURN.
Young Wormser Made That Amount
by Catching the Market Right

New York. Sept. 17.-Wal street is
talking in an admiringly envious way of
Maurice WOrmser and his recent do
ings in the stock market.
He had already earned a record in
Reading stocks years ago when he did
some heavy plunging with not very
brilliant results.
It is an open secret that the short in
terest intended to let prices run down
much further, but they were surprised
to find strong buying, so much so that
there was somewhat of a stampede to
cover and the present boom was start
ed.
The buyer was Maurice Wormser
He was a general trader and made
money in almost the entire round of
stocks In sugar he was almost a spe-
ciaIist. Chicago gas came in for a bat
tering and he got plenty of help from
those most closely identified with the
property Manhattan afforded an easy
mark for the bold young plunger while
the grangerS, cOalers and trunk lines
all came in for a severe pounding when
the market was in a yielding tone
It is estimated that the sales of Mr.
WOrmser for the account and for effect
on the market ran well over 100 900
shares, and that there is a profit on the
WOrmser books of about half a million
dollars all made within a quarter of q
year and without any real need of cash
capital

ROASTING REV. h. D. FISHER
And Certain Topeka Preachers, Now
the Kansas Religious Fad

To the Editor of The State Journal
Permit me through the columns of
your excellent paper to say a few
words touching the prohibition question
| in Kansas this year.
AS suggested by an article under the
above caption in the Epworth Herald
proceedings of the M. E. preachers
meeting of your city as reported in the
Journal of September 8. We quote from
the Herald in part:
THE fall conferences are at hand. The
committee on temperance will be
named of course. The brethren will
get together and draft the usual pre-
amble and resolutions. The conference
will indOrse by unanimous vote. How
familiar the sentences will sound. The
liquor traffic is contrary to the word of
God and the spirit of the Christian re-
ligiOn.' 1t cannot be localized without
| titude toward it-that of relentless hos
tility, "etc., on. z. discipline page 351-2)
and then adds: Skip the temperance
resolutions this year for a change"
What on earth do they amount to any
way? The great mass of the voting
members of the NJ E. church and of all
other churches will go right along sin
ming by voting for candidates who
openly declare that they believe in the
principles of legalization.'
How truly has the above been illus
trated in the Topeka preachers meet
ing. The question raised by Rev. Stave-
ly is a very pertinent one indeed. What
is the duty of the voting preacher and
members of the NJ. E church (and all
others) with reference to Gov. Morrill,
and his candidacy this fall? He was
abused and fought before he was nom
mated, and what do you expect US to
do now? Question: Does Mr.. Stavely
state a fact? We think he does, and
the first witness in the case we will in
trOduce is DR.. H. D. Fisher, who, in
addressing the called state temperance
union last January after relating some
of the hardships he had endured for
Kansas, said;
I had hoped never to live to see the
day when Kansas would be damned
with governor like Morrill, In the
same vein spoke ThOs. Balm, Judge
Vance and others. He was denounced
by press, pulpit and pew from one end
of the state to the other. and we don't
remember of single religious man
who did not put himself on record
not to vote for him again, but the boss
es have cracked the party whip and
they are all in line again. Even Ed
HOch of Marion is reported to have Of
fered himself to the campaign commit
tee and is going out to whOop it up for
the Sunday school man.
But we have one more witness we

JESSE GRANTS AMBITION.
VIII Try. to Break Into the American
Senate.

San Diego. Cal, Sept. 17.-Jesse r.
Grant, youngest son of the late presi-
dent, gave to a correspondent today a
letter containing the reasons for his re-
cent declaration that he had left the
Republican party to join the POpulists.
Thls letter is a fac-simile copy of one
which was mailed today to Mr.. Grants
father-in-Law, W. S. Chapman of San
Francisco 1t is in part as follows:
Having lately had aspirations to the
United States senate, I had been in
conversation with friends and acquaiu-
tances as to what chance I had of
success and what course to pursue to
attain that end. L had been a ReDubIi-
can for years, but the matter was thus
Drought seriously before me. it sIdden
" came upon me that was debarred
from the Republican party bv reason
OF my convictions, both upon the silver
question and the government owner
snip OF the railroads and telegraph lines
and finding that the platform of the
EeOple'S Party came nearest to coin
Gliding with my views as the wisest
course TO be pursued by the United
states senate, I took the occasion at a
recent convention OF my party to an
nounce my allegiance to its PRINCIPLES
Though 1t is my intention from now
politics, do not see that any import
ance attaches to my action. I believe
honestly in the great advantage to this
country or the free coinage of silver. 1t
does not mean Reputation of our debts
at home or abroad. We could not pay
our debts with both gold and silver,
even if We had it all, our mortgages be
ing equal to the enormous sum of ST.
100000 OO0- These debts Will have to be
paid in produce, and anything that will
raise the value Of this will I believe
benefit all classes.
If, which is not probable, the gold
bugs are right in their evil predictions,
and our money is worth only two shil-
hngs on the dOllaT-well, we would then
have the most perfect protective tariff
we ever had, and the excess of exports
over imports would be 50 great that the
dollar would either go up or the pound
down to the same relative positions
that they now occupy

GALvEsTON's HUSTLER.
Tom Richardson Who is Hired by
That City to Get Business.

Tom Richardson, who is employed by
the Galveston people to hustle business
for that port is well known to nearly
everybody in Topeka. In Galveston they
call him ''Hustling Tom" The Calves
ton News says:
Secretary Tom Richardson of the deep
water utilization committee returned
home yesterday from a 60 day trip in
Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado. He is
enthusiastic about the results which
have been accomplished through the
efforts of the committee, and talked to
a News representative as follows:
LAS I have frequently written to The
News, the people of Colorado and kan
saS are especially strong partisans of
Galveston, and they all desire it to be-
come not only great port, but great
city as well.
Z can't help but feel that they have
more confidence in the future of Gal
weston than many GalvestOnians, and
I believe they are right.
THE western people feel wonderfully
near to this city They speak of Gal
weston as though it was a part of their
own state. 1t is their port and they
have aided it in the past, are doing 50
at present, and will do so in the future.
Galveston has more warm friends
than any other city in this country, and
it is simply wonderful how anxious
every one you meet is to hear the lat
est particulars regarding the ports de-
VelOpment.
In spite of hot winds and exceeding
ly dry weather, Kansas has produced
230,000,000 bushels of corn, much of
which will be ready for export within
the next two or three weeks. When I
left the drouth was broken by good
rains. The farmers are blowing for
wheat, and there is promise of a large
acreage.
Galveston was well represented in
Colorado this summer and great
many are still in the mountains. I
don't know anything about politics ex-
cept as regards the transportation
question, and every man, woman and
child I met will vote and repeat the
gulf route ticket.
They know all about the grain
blockade here at Galveston, and it is
a remarkable evidence of their interest
in this port when I tell you that they
excuse Galveston from any blame
whatever, without Investigating the de-
tails.
THE merchants, shippers, millers and
producers are with Galveston to a man.
The newspa pers stand ready to defend
the short haul to the gulf, for they be
lieve it to be the only avenue through
which the surplus products of the great
west can be prOftably exported.
I have several matters of Importance
for publication, which I feel should be
first considered by our local committee
first considered by our local commit
tee"
