PROHIBITIONISTS MEET.
The State Temperance Union Outlines Plans
for Future Work.

The meeting Of the State Temperance
Union at Topeka last week was liber-
ally attended. It was an earnest gather
ing of men and women who believe that
the liquor law should be enforced. The
opinion prevailed that a crisis in the
temperance movement was now at hand
and this was the leading point in Presi-
dent Lockwood's address.
The campaign for the year as mapped
out includes cooperative effort with
the National Anti-Saloon League.
The plan of work outlined is as fol-
lows:
First-That the State Temperance
Union enter into affllated relations
with the National And-Saloon League.
Second.-That the Union should I'M
dertake Immediately thorough organi-
zation-county, township and school dis
tr1ct-of the people OF the State who
favor temperance and enforcement of
the prohibitory law.
Third.-That to this end the Union
put in the field at once not less than
three organizers, who shall devote their
entire time to the work, on such terms
as the executive committee may agree
upon, and that the Union pledges itself
to their support.
Fourth.-nhat all good citizens should
be asked to pledge themselves to vote
for no candidates for Governor, Attor-
ney General, District Judge, Sheriff,
County Attorney or officers directly
concerned in the enforcement of the law
whose past record and present charac-
ter are not reasonable guarantee that
he will do his full duty in the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law
Fifth.-That State and local unions,
churches and other Christian and tenn
perance organizations alike devote
themselves, in every advisable way, to
the cultivation of public sentiment
against intemperance and the liquor in
terest, and especially to the enforce
ment, encouragement and support of
faithful officers.
Sixth.-That grand popular rally be
held in Topeka about the first of June.
Seventh. THAT several large popular
rallies, with representative and general
membership, be held as early as posi-
BILE in the spring or summer at such
available places as the executive COM
mittee may designate, for the purpose
of bringing together the workers for our
cause.
Eghth.-That mass temperance con-
veRtion be held in every county in the
State, if possible, before the fall cleo
tion.
Ninth.-That the executive commit
tee be directed to confer with the man
ayers of the State Chautauqua assem-
blies and secure II possible the setting
apart of an entire day as Kansas Tenn
perance Day.
Bishop Vincent made a speech in
which he attributed intemperance to
early self-indulgence. Boys and girls
used chewing gum and cigarettes i'm

lost ability to remain temperate.

BETTER If SPOKEN EARLIER.

We do not wish to be hypercritical,
by President Mckinley before the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
and not think with regret of what such
an attitude might have accomplished
nine months ago. Mr.. Mckinley de-
voted the greater part Of his speech to
the necessity and the duty of currency
reform by the party to which the peo-
pie committed the government at the
last election. He admits those postu-
lates which the G l o b has often stat
ed and his own partisans vehement
ly denied The mandate to reform the
currency, he says, was given by the
voters who elected him. 1t is impera-
tive and explicit, not implied. 1t is not
conditioned upon the possibility of per-
Torrance. An honest endeavor to full
fill the pledges given will at the same
time prove the party's sincerity and
advance right opinions by the preva-
lence Of free discussion.
These are excellent words, even
though they cut straight across the
assurances of the organs that have
been telling Us for many months past
that any attempt at currency legisla-
ton would be as foolish as 1t is unnec-
essary. They are highly creditable to
the president, because they exhibit in
him sincerity and a purpose higher
than his party's at a time when shut
fling and evasion constitute the prin-
rose path. Therefore he should have
the recognition due from every fair
minded man. None the less must one
reflect how vastly more impressive and
more potent would have been this atti-
tude at the beginning of his admins
tration. Had he chosen then, had he
dared, had he been free to give none
tary reform precedence over tariff leg
islation, had he incorporated those ut
terances in a message and employed
the same arts and the same pressure
to force a currency bill through con-
gress that were called to the aid of the
Dingley bill, the financial question
would neither today nor at any future
time be an issue in American politics
1t was q great opportunity, and heavy
may be the price of its neglect.

votes, and, with equal zeal, after the
winning, it roared prosperity in self
vindication. The opposition. under that
disposition of human nature that
makes repulsion equal attraction and
demands south pole to counter the
one at the north, marshals present
calamities and spreads them over the
entire industrial field. This is not dis
cussion; it is mere disputation. The
truth lies in the means, not at the eX-
tremes. The country is prospecting and
has been since June, 1893, with rate
of increase gradually gathering head,
impeded only by legislation either
enacted or proposed, a prosperity due
solely to the recuperative power, that
disposition of our race that refuses to
lie supine under disaster, with folded
hands, bawling for the gods to come
with assistance. Could legislatures and
congresses have gone down in the
wreck of 1893 and remained since in a
state Of paralysis, the workers Of the
nation would have rebuilt their col
lapsed industries long ago and had the
wheels humming in them all.

VIII you please be kind enough to inform
me what your principal objections to the an
rexation of the Hawaiian Islands are? You
will confer great favor by SO doing.
w. ]. Sheehy,
Montgomery, Mimi, Jan. 21st.
We have given our reasons fully, at
length and frequently, since this adj
ministration resurrected the scheme
from the grave in which President
Cleveland buried it. We recently con-
densed these reasons. For the benefit
of our correspondent we repeat them.
They fall readily into two classes. NOR
al and polite.
Under the first classification we place
the scruples every self-respecting per-
son has against receiving stolen goods.
The theft Of Kiao-Chou by Kaiser Will
helm was not a whit more f1agitious
than was that of Hawaii by the sons
by our Minister Stevens. We next OBJ
ject to it because the scheme violates
the fundamental principle Of this re-
public, the consent Of the governed
to the establishment of their govern
ment. Twenty-one thousand natives
have filed in the senate their protest
against annexation, and the assent of
that people has not been asked.
We object to the acquisition Of the
islands as matter of policy. We do
not need them. We get all the benefit
Of ownership through the reciprocity
treaty without the risks and burdens.
1t is departure from a policy hither-
to followed with good results. We re-
jected annexation in 1858; we refused
Santo Domingo's offer to join us in 1871.
We object to it on account of what it
involves, the expense OF terrifying the
islands; the establishment of a navy
for their defense; the announcement
to the truculent lingo element that is
bound to force this country into some
foreign war. We further object to the
addition to our population Of an I'M
desirable element which 1t would in
volve, with a probable complication
with Japan growing out of the large
number of her citizens there. But we
rest the case on the moralities involy
ed.

LEGISLATORS ANGRY.
Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky.
Called n Party Traitor.


LOUISVILLE. Ky, Jan pa spe-
cialcial to the Post from Frankfort. XIV.
says: After hot debate this morning,
the lower house of the Kentucky leg
islature adopted a substitute resolution
offered by Representative Nelson, of
Hardin, Calling upon Senator William
Lindsay to resign if he cannot sl1pport
the Chicago platform. During the
course Of the debate such words as
party traitor" "recreant to his trust
and gold bug" were freely banded.
Representative Desha, silver Demo-
crat, from Harrison county openly de-
nounced Senator Lindsay as a traitor
to his party, and called upon him to
return home and face an outraged con-
stituency. Others who made hot speech
es along this line were Representatives
Trimble, Nelson, Petty, Orr and Hick-
man. The resolution was adopted bv
viva voce vote, but on motion of Rep
resentative Puliam, it was considered
in order that the original resolution in
troduced by Representative Saunders,
of Union, some time since, be passed.
The Saunders resolution was then
taken up and passed by a vote of 55 to
rs. Messrs. Orr Nelson, Lackey, Petty,

speeches denouncing the course of Sena-
tor Lindsay Messrs. Bradbury, Cook,

AT THE THEATERS.

Donnelly and Girard, of Natural Cas-
1ame justly won, appeared at the Metropolitan
last night In a new vehicle. This time it is
a spectacular operetta', bearing the brief and
breezy title, ''The Geezer." There is no in
trlnsic wit of the literary sort in the IL
pretto OF The Geezer." There is no musical
score, such as distinguishes an operate
work with dialogue from a farce comedy
with music in it. So the designation copper
eta Is that of an imaginative mind. 1.-The
Geezer' is skit burlesquing the visit Of Ii
Hung Chang to America. Incidentally and
Win welcome frequency, unpretentious but
tuneful solos, duets, trios and choruses oc-

Ior every note sung in 1.-THE Geezer" has its
accompanying stage business. It was this
factor that contributed material share to
the success of the Gilbert and Sullivan comic
operas, great as Is the intrinsic merit of the

OF course, Edward Girard is Just as funny
as he can be, and that is very funny. He
wears light tan-colored Chinese makeup,
pig tall and all, but retains his Irish brogue
and his acrobatic eccentricites. He waits
until late in the evening before putting on
his monkey face. The instant he did it the
mouse went into convulsve recognition of
the old familiar face. Henry V. Donnelly was

Mark Sulliyan's ballad reciting the woes of
the men who mistook door knob for a real
egg was more notable for it's musical than its
humorous quality. In the last act Miss Mae
Lowery sang the coon song, with female
chorus GO to Sleep, My Little Pickaninny, -
effectively. Miss Lowery is singing ingenue,
decidedly cute and rather clever.
One Of the most entertaining specialties
was the French doll dance contributed by Miss
Mabel Rivers, an exceedingly graceful young
woman, assisted by Mr.. Girard, who wound
up the doll, danced with her and finally car
ried her off.
The drop used in the first and last acts

the distance and pagodas in the foreground /.
was effective.

NO CAUSE FOR EXCITEMENT.

The absence of real news from the
Cuban situation and the unlikelihood
of any immediate change appear in the
| exalted attention given to the simple
movement of sending a battleship of
the United States to Havana, and the
| proposed visit, in return, of a Spanish
vessel to various por S of the United
| States. This common event, unaccus-
| toned only since the outbreak Of the
insurrection in Cuba, and unworthy of
ordinary mention at any other time, is
bruited about and wondered at and
| gossiped over as portent among the
| correspondents. Their diversions have
been shared by persons in other sta
| tons, who ought to know better. It
reverently addressed thanks to the
Deity because the Maine had been sent
| to Havana, posing before his constit-
uents in his usual fashion, and either
ignorant or Obvious Of the fact that
the presence or absence Of the vessel
| did not make the slightest difference in
government toward either Spain or
Cuba.
1t is quite in the natural order of
things for men-of-war Of a nation, in
their cruises from point to point, to
visit the cities and enter the harbors
Of friendly countries. 1t is the habit
of the past for the United States. as
far as Cuba is concerned. If the send
| ing of the Maine down there means
anything at all, it would seem to mean
| rather resumption Of wholly cordial
relations between the present admins
tration and the cabinet at Madrid than
to bespealI a possible rupture. To the
Cuban patriots it can. of course. mean
nothing at all. The Maine will do no
business at Havana, save in the now
entirely improbable event of such do
nestle disturbances there as would en-
| danger the lives or property Of Ameri
can citizens. To the revolutionary
| forces, the Maine might as we'll be In
the harbor Of Hong Kong as in that
J of Havana, so far as any practical re-
lation to their affairs is concerned. The
Spanish man-of-war can poke her nose

wherever che pleases, and she will not
be an object Of more than passing at

ments is absurdly overestimated by q

harmless and commonplace item into

It Is one for which the supporters of
the administration should not thank

ing regrets; for its inner meaning, if 1t
