fields are daily taking the rich, emer
aid green of sure promise; that Kan.
sas pastures are dotted with herds oil
sleek, fat bovines; that Kansas bs nki
are full to overfiowing: that Kansas
girls are growing more lovely every
day and her soldiers are pushing te
the front all along the line. Remem
Der, too, that Kansas governor is com
mandiDg the admiration of the Union
for his honest and just administration
of state affairs, and that all her othe,

ATTORNEY GENERAL BOYLE, in e
reply to fl request from the state tenn.
perapce union that he define his posi-
ton on the prohibitory liquor law,
says he is not prohlbitionist. He
asserts that he will vigorously prose.
cute all cases that are taken from the
lower courts to the appelat or supreme
courts; that be is resubmissionist,
and believes the question should again
be submitted to vote of the people;
that he believes it foolishness to ap-
point assistant attorney generals to
take the matter OF enforcing the law
out of the hands of county attorneys,
and that he has made no such appoint
ments and will make none if he be
reelected. What surprise it would
he to the people of Kansas if Mr.
Stanley, the republican candidate for
governor, should thus come out hon.
estly and equareiy and state his posi-
ton on this much discussed question!
But he will not. 1t would loose him
thousands of votes, whichever side
he took; for he is being represented
as being on both sides Of the fence.
