AS 1T is IN KANSAS.

The widely published and significant
temperance paragraph OF the Thanks.
giving proclamation Of Governor
Hoch, of Kansas. ought TO have yet
wider reading and We gladly give It
room in our columns:
"Fhe bcneflcent effect of our wise
public policies Is attested by the logic
OF results. Onc-third of Our counties
are without prisoners In their jails or
paupcrs in their poorhouses: onc-half
of our counties contributed no con.
victs to our prison population the Inst
year and one;half Of our prison in.
mates never lived III Kansas long
enough to grin a residence here. Our
educational institutions were never so
aourlshlng. our churches never so
strong. nor the spiritual outlook more
hopeful. The saloon has been prac.
tically bnntshed from our State, and
It's baneiul influence almost entirely
eliminated. All these things should
touch the chords Of our better natures,
and make them vibrate with the rev.
erent sentiment Praise God, from
whom all blessings flow"
