If the Prohibs of Kansas can't do
any better work as Democratic annexes
tban tbey did in Maine, tbey might as
well shut up shop.
The selectiouof ilaj. Win. Warner,
of Kansas City, as commander-in-chief
of the G. A. It. was a fitting recogni
tion of one of tho "West's ablest citizens
and most loyal ex-soldiers.
Congressman Anderson writes that
congress will probably remain in session
until the middle of October. If he
gets two or three weeks he will make a
canvass. He is anxious to riddle the
Mills bill.
The Democrats do not seem to real
ize that what the Republicans want is
to see Thurman defeated not killed.
The dragging of the poor old man
around when he is so weak as to faint
on the platform is cruelty.
A Union Labor leader of South
Dickinson in a speech the other even

Heaven have mercy on the laborites

their chosen chiefs.
Well, Air. Gazette, you said that in
order to make the political baioiueter
point toward Republican vicitory in
November it must cany Maine by 20,
000. We did it and to prevent any
quibble about exact figures we added
2,000 more votes for good measure.
Cleveland in his letter of acceptance
talks about the "quiet calm" that fol
lows election. "We wonder if Grover
ever heard of a real, rattling, hilarious
calm. He is probably greatly im
pressed with the way he is being let
severely alone by visitors now-a-days.
Mormonism is spreading. The tribe
at Salt Lake may be disintegrating, but
only for the benefit of other localities.
Four hundred Mormon families have
recently settled in Wyoming. Thous
ands of Mormons have settled in Idaho.
There are large Mormon colonies in
Arizona and Colorado. Nevada is so
over-run with them that it has been
.declared the Mormons could soon se
cure control of the State if they should
make a vigorous effort.
Five States have beeu heard from
since President Cleveland sent his
free-trade message to congress Rhode
Island, Oregon. Vermont, Arkansas
and Maine and in all of them the Re
publican vote was larger and theDem
ocratic vote smaller than at the last
election. This looks very much as
though the country was about to un
load the voracious spoils-hunters, and
prepare itself for another, quarter of a
century's prosperity and happiness un
der the fostering care of its friends.
Will some of our Democratic free
trade friends who insist that Mr.
Cleveland knows what he is talking
about when he says that the duties
imposed upon imports .is added to the
price paid by the consumer, please to
name a few manufactured commodities
that are not cheaper today in the United
States under the protective system than
they were in 1S60 under free trade and
before the present protective tariff
went into operation. Perhaps a few
apt illustrations might serve to en
lighten us a little.

A Masterly Letter.
The letter of Mr. Harrison is preem
inently a State paper. It is a clear and
unequivocal statement of the views and
principles of the Republican party.
There is no ambiguity, no dodging, ho
stradling, no evasion. Every principle
is enunciated in language that cannot
be misunderstood. Mr. Harrison is for
protection to American industries,
American markets and American labor,
not because protection is a necessary
evil but because protection is constitu
tional, wholesome and necessary; be
cause it aids in building up American
industries, stimulates American mar
kets and increases the wages of Amer
ican labor. To show the fallacy as
well as the absurdity of the position
taken by Mr. Cleveland in his annual
message and which is repeated in Mr.
Cleveland's letter of acceptance, Mr.
Harrison repeats almost verbatim the
illogical statement of his opponent.
He says: "Those who teach that the
import duty upon foreign goods sold in
our markets is paid by the consumer
and the price of the domestic competing
article is enhanced by the amount of
the duty on the impoited aiticle, may
not intend to discredit in the minds of
others our system of levying duties on
competing foreign products, but it is
clearly already discredited in their
own." He charges that the entire drift
of Democratic sentiment and Demo
cratic legislation is toward ultimate
free trade. In speaking of the surplus
he says that the President and his ad
ministration have "magnified and
nursed the surplus which they affect to
deprecate seemingly for the purpose of
exaggerating the evil in order to recon
cile the people to the extreme remedy
they propose." Mr. Harrison states in
one brief sentence how the surplus
should be disposed of . He says: -'The
surplus now in the treasury should be
used in the purchase of bonds; the law
authorizes this use of it." The people
and not the banks in which Mr. Cleve
land's advisers now have it "politically"
deposited "should have the advantage
of its use bj stopping interest on the
public debt." This view of the proper
disposition of the surplus will meet the
approval of the people everywheie.
Mr. Harrison very tersely shows that
if free trade should prevail in this
countrj our laws against the importa
tion of contract labor would avail us
very little. Foreign competition would
at once reduce the wages of labor in
this country to a level with the pauper
labor of Europe and when this condi
tion is reached the cheap laborers of
foreign countries will have do induce
ment to come, and our employers will
have no inducement to send for them.
But Mr. Hanison favors protection,
and then laws which will "exclude alien
races whose ultimate astimilalion with
our people is neither possible nor desir
able." Mr. Harrison expresses his
hearty approval of every piinciple
enunciated the Republican platform.
The Republicans may well congratu
late themselves upon their 'candidate
for President. In this letter as well as
in ths many speeches that Mr. Hani
son has made since his nomination he
demonstrates his superior ability to
deal with public measures, his thorough
acquaintance with the needs of his
country, his unflinching loyalty to the
'interests of America" as against the
"interests of Europe." Harrison will
make a worthy successor to Lincoln,
Grant and Garfield.
These figures eloquently tell their
own story:
For starving Ireland Levi P. Morton
gave 30,030
For suffering Charleston Grover Cleve
land gave ... .. 20
For J1V RE-ELECTION Grovor Cleve
land gave 10,000
Several- thousand, of the starving
and oppressed people of Kansas, that
the Union Labor fellows tell us about,
have gone to Columbus to have a good
time. They will stay there for a week
or two and spend about $100 apiece,
and then come back and starve again.
It is simply awful,- the way we are op
pressed out here in Kansas. State

A Eemarkable Predicament.
President Cleveland has thrown mud
at old soldiers and soldiers' widows so
freely during the past three years that
he has actually overstepped the limits
of decency and descended to insult,
ne is now about to be brought to ac
count, or at least it will be tried if
American women are not to be pro
tected from open insult, even if it does
come from the head of the Nation.
Congress has been petitioned for
authority to prosecute the President of
the United States for libel. The peti
tion is presented by the Woman's Na
tional League, of Washington, on be
half of Mrs. Ann Dougherty, the Irish
woman whose pension President Cleve
land recently vetoed. The President
in vetoing the bill stated that Mrs.
Dougherty was a woman of bad char
acter. The brief prepared by the
league shows that Mrs. Dougherty was
never "arrested for drunkenness, lar
ceny, creating disturbances and misde
meanors," as charged by President
Cleveland, and a complete abstract of
the records of the police precinct where
she has lived is produced in evidence.
The following language is used in the
headlines of the brief:
"Grover Cleveland assails the charac
ter of Mary Ann Dougherty."
':He vetoed her pension bill, and then
denouueed her as drunken and worth
less to the whole country."
"The charges against her proven
false."
"Will Irishmen vote for a man who
shelters himself behind his high office
to ruin the name of ahelpless woman?"
It is about time that Mr. Cleveland
was at least taught common courtesy
even if he cannot acquire humanity.

The Topeka Capital has figured out
the prospects for Republican success
this year upon the following basis:
rtIf there was any doubt about the
result of the general election in No
vember next, that doubt has beeu
swept away by the published returns of
four State elections, viz: Oregon, Ver
mont, Arkansas and Maine. In each
of these States the Republicans have
made surprising gains, sufficient at
least to convince the average Democrat
that the local and intelligent voters of
this country have enough of Democrat
ic misrule. Let us examine the re
turns in these four States in 1S86 and
compare them with those of 188S, giv
ing the results simply by pluralities
from which the gains may be ascer
tained: Hop. Plu.

Arkansas, September clection.lSSG .36,585
Arkansas, September clcction,l&3 15,000

The significance of these figures can
not be obscured. They show an un
mistakable drift away fiom the De
mocracy and Cleveland's free-tradeism
and sham civil service reform, and
toward protectionism and a restoration
of Republican supremacy. This is so
decided as to be evident even in Ar
kansas. It is the handwriting on the
wall which foretells a Democratic rout
in November.
And Still They Come.
A Harrison and Morton club was or
ganized last week in New York City
with a membership of 283. The pre
amble to their constitution is as fol
lows: "Wheieas. the great and para
mount issue between the two great
political parties of the nation today is
the question whether this shall be a
nation of free trade or protection, and
Whereas, the Democratic party is the
champion of free trade as against pro
tection, now, we, the undersigned
members of he Democratic p'irty, who
gave our earnest support to theelectiou
of Grover Cleveland in 1S84, believing
that the interests of the American peo
ple, and especially the American labor
er, demands the election of a president
who is opposed to free-trade and who
is an avowed friend of the 'American
system of protection,' do hereby organ
ize ourselves iuto a Harrison and
Morton club and do pledge ourselves
to use all honorable means within our
power to promote the election of Benja
min Harrison and Levi P. Morton
President and Vice-President of the
United btates of America."
The great falling off of the Prohibi
tion vote in Vermont and Maine indi
ctes that the dissolution of that party
is rapidly approaching.
