not nee anything wrong in prohibition
In KanxaA, a the prohibitionist had thi
the law that was what thcr wanted
and the whiskey drinkers had all
the whiskey luav could drink and
that was what they wanted. There
doubt the Senator expressed aa-
bofie'ftrTrrnr&m it wnr'TaTjig lot of
yelpera barking at his heels.
Wfj.i., Bro. Itronk has his cnll out
for a prohibition state convention, and
the question Is what is our Kay county
prohibitionist going to do about it.
Manv of thorn claim that there was no
politic in the election in Hay county,
last summer, but now they aru face to
face with the question and must either
Land by their prohibition leaders or
repudiate them. luen; are just two
horns to the dilciua, and they must
iieie on either one or the other. Hold
still and see the squirming in certain

, It is generally understood that Hon.
A. M. Dot kert will not be in the
race for goveruor.though a heavy prcs
ure has boon brouglit on him to in
ducc him to make the race. He has
a number of important measures in
liand at Washington, which are occu
pying his time, to the exclusion of
even-thing else. Another thing is that
the Congressional raae in this district
is si.nipli.jcd by his staying out of the
gubernatorial tight, as he certainly will
be re-nominated by the Democrat
without opposition, and a re-election it
a certainty.
If the idiot who axe excited because
the president presented a copy of the
constitution the pope, could le indu
ced to read that document themselves,
they might possibly become the Ks

now. Greeimlle, lex as, Herald.
That class of men are much to smart
to read anything so weighty as the
conHtitutiou of the United Slates. Their
egotism leads the in to believe that it is
a very iuierior document, one that
they could improve on aeven days out
al the week.

The Kansas City Times has the fol
lowing to say of a prominent candidate
for supreme judge:
The Hon. H. Clay Kwing is as per
fectly equipped at all jHiints to make a
Supreme Judge as any man the state
ever honored in either iu earlier or
later history. His life has been an ex
ceedingly actite and tirring one.
He has from the very lirst day of hi
graduation devoted himself with tire
less assiduity and energy to the mas-
hip of his profession. satisfied
with bare victories for his clients, he
sought to inform himelf of their logic,
to find the way to a class of grouping
that might in time grow into a philos
ophy of iuccess, to mass them, as it
were, organize, drill and discipline
them, to keep them ever ready at hand
as a trained array, flexible when need

Mike is bo me what disfigured just a;

said. "1 have do interest now in the
contest for governor. Norton is out of

that ere many das, Mike will have
hitched his chariot to the tail of some
gubernatorial steed, scrubs or thorough
breds, aud will be bowling along in the
fond hope that he will again be trusted
with the pokitiou which he baa so loug

You may do some men ten thousand
favors and treat them with every cuur
Lcy aud coimidnration, and yet the
first opportunity they get, they show
i heir ingratitude and narrowness of
mind. A v iper displays eu,uul sense
and magnanimity- if yon attempt to
controvert or disagree with tnein,
whctin-r on political, religious, tem
pc ranee or any subject, you gain their
itninKiMty and they become our ene
my until some favor is again wanted;
Uu'ii, like a codling moth, they try to
mg.Hlirtle themselves once more and
girt your good will by appearing meek
und" rt-gifciful. Sueli vermin are con
temptible. Men of broad liberal views,
men who have brains large euough to
not bei-uine petulant cranks aud exhibit
a spiteful, vindictive disposition
because they are unable to hare every
thing their own way, are the ones that
distances all other in the race of life.
