PROHIBITION AMD
TION.
Prohibition has now boon on tri
in Kansas for a year and judged 1
practical results the oxoorimcnt h
proved a failure. It Is a notorioi
fact that as much liquor has boon so
and drank in Kansas since the liqu
traffic 1 1 been outlawed tl during at
equal period before prohibition w ,
cnactod , It is true that liquor h
not been sold in many of the small
Kansas towns and villages , but in i
such places the trafllc in liquor hi
either already been stopped or cou
have been ( stopped under the loc
option law , which enabled the coun
or city authorities to reject applic
Uons for license. In Nebraska who
license is optional the siuno result h
been reached in many places who
such a course was sustained ] by pu
lie sentiment. In every Nobrasl
town whore saloons wore conduct )
by decent men in an orderly mann
the license system has worked sati
factorily , whiloin towns whorosaloo :
were made resorts of vice and pot
crime , the communities have cnacl
local prohibition by refusing to licon
such dens. It cannot bo said th
prohibition in Kansas has not had
fair trial.
The question has boon a consta
subject of discussion over since tl
prohibitory liquor law was enacted
the state , as of couroo it was proco
ing its being engrafted on the laws
the state , and while opposition h
shown itself , the prohibitionists ha
boon so outspoken , so aggrosssiv
and so supremely positive in their dc
larations , that the assumption in Ka
sas and outside of the state has bei
that public opinion was largely
favor of the measure. The prohil
tionists have been constantly cat
paigning , have boon constantly o
ganizod , and invoking the mor
force .of the church nt homoat
abroad have without cossatic
maintained that they wcro in the n
condnncy in the state , and wore- ova
whelminnly supported by the poopl
except , perhaps , in the few commui :
tics that Gov. St. John outlawed 1
proclamation , and oven hero the pc
pie wore not crooitod with n dispot
turn to defy the law so much na tl
authorities were willing to ignore
and permit its violation.
The result of the local elections i
Kansas last week afford proof positr
that prohibition in Kansas is a pracl
cal failure. R From all sections of tl :
state the intelligences cpmcs that tl
prohibition candidates were beaten i
three cases out of every four. Tl :
prohibition issue entered into tl
campaign in every town in the stal
and every other local question was ij
nored. The prohibitionists were nj
groasivo and confident. They raise
the black flag , giving no quarter an
asking for no concessions. And th
election returns show that Governc
St. John had overshot the mark , Eve
Topeka , the political capital and fout
tain head of prohibition in Kansashn
elected an anti-prohibition council b
a largo majority. ( At Olatho , thohom
] f the governor , his followers wor
overwhelmingly defeated. A simile
result is reported from every soctio
} f the stato.J Thcso political reverse
rrould , however , bo of littl
nomont if the traffic in liquor ha
aeon stopped and the evils ariain
from intemperance had been orad :
: rtcd. But all accounts aqroo thn
: ho liquor traftto never was moro at
ivo in Kansas than it is now , an
Irunkards are moro numerous tha
jvor. Nearly every attempt to pur
sh violators of the prohibition law i
Kansas by indictment has failed , an
ho revenues formerly' derived by th
people of Kansas from the liquor tral
lo are now divided among the liquo
loalora and their lawyers.
While Kansas 'has boon mak
ng costly and impractical experiment
n prohibition , Nebraska has sought ti
mock the evils of interaporanCb b ;
ogulation and restriction.
The high license law passedby tin
ast legislature was in the lino'of rog
ilation and not prohibitory , as wai
laimed by some at the time of iti
lassago. It does not make liquoi
oiling a crime or purchasers of liquoi
rimiuuls. It's intent was to drive
ut of the traflio all decora who wore
ot financially responsible for any
orsonal damage which might re-
tilt from their connection with the
usinoss , and to provide suihiblo rum.
lies for H number of the mostly
rominont evils , which all admitted
as the result of unbridled lico.iao.
In other words Nobrasktrhas sought
> throw safeguards around her citi-
ins by confining the traflio in liquor
> men of established responsibility ,
ndor restrictions that afford a reason *
do guarantee that they would keep
derly houses , At the satrio time the
afllo , which is recognized among the
coasary evils is made to contribute
rgely to the revenues of the state ,
id the tax thus imposed is devoted
the support of her public schools ,
'hile the Slpcumb law is in many ro-
ects defective , and has boon violated
this city and elsuwhoro , it affords
j fur preator protection from the
ils of intemperance than the prohi-
tion law of Kansas.
As between Kansas prohibition that
nnotbo enforced by the civil authori-
is and criminal courts and Nebraska
julation , that has been sustained in
e courts and can bo enforced where-
or the local authorities are disposed
to do 87 , there is no doubt that rog
Ution is by far the most sensible , i
well as the most practical ,
In his annual tncggago to the ci
otincil Mayor Boyd recommoni
that the surplus in the city troasur
which amounts to $100,000 and w
bo increased during the year by tl
issue of paving bonds , etc. , bo made
source of revenue to the city. The
ia no doubt that the income of tl
treasurer from salary and fees is ai
plo , and his deposits even at a Ic
interest rate would bring an incor
to the city of several thousand di
lars a year.
Another very important rccoi
mcndation is the reorganization
the paid lire department on a me
economic basis. Wo can safely IK
lay off ono 01 two fire engines , but'
ought to invest moro money in he
and hose carts , In this connection
mighi bo well to call attention to t
necessity of keeping up our fire c
terns. There is still danger that the
may bo a brf ok in the water pir
during a fire and the cisterns woi
then bo the only source of water su
ply.Tho
The mayor thinks our police foi
is insufiiciont and ought to bo i
creased to twenty. On this point '
would say that unless * a now head
put on and better discipline inti
ducod into the force , an increase-
policn would bo a waste of monoy.
The mayor expresses a desire to s
onro the best talent for the city onj
noer department , and tncreaaoita foi
at least while the city is engaged
the construction of sewers , paving ai
other improvements. The onginoc
ing department in this city has alwa
boon managed on a penny wise ai
pound foolish policy.
It isn't merely a matter of profc
sional skill ; it is also a. question
integrity. A dishonest engineer ci
play into the hands of contiaotorsni
rob the city of thousands of dollti
every year. An incompetent engine
would cauio thousandsupoii thousan
of dollars of damage t6 people whoa
constructing buildings'and to the ci
nt largo in botch work.
The mayor makes a very pointi
reference to the enormous expense i
curred in conducting oi-r pub !
schools. Ho ahows that it coatttl
tax payers $18 every year to educa
each scholar. On this question \
propose to elaborate at some otln
time.
Mayor Boyd nsks the council to o :
erciso great care before they final
accept the water works. Ho desin
them to insist upon the fulfilment <
the contract in every particular oxcoj
where changes are made which do m
raatoriallly affect the efficiency of tl
aystom.
The mayor omits all reference I
the military occupation of Omahi
but incidentally expresses a desu
that labor and capital should co han
in hand , that all strikes should bo dii
couragod , and peace and hnrmon
prevail. Now wo have also boon i
Favor of settling labor troubles peace
ibly by arbitration , and if this ha
boon done by parties interested thot
would have been entire harmony be

Wo heartily indorse the mayor' '
yiows regarding Jefferson square. W
want a market house , but wo don' '
tiecd such nn expensive ono , and don1
want our city hall in connection there
ivith. If the square is leased fo
market purposes it should bo for les
: ! mn fifty years , and for a buildin ;
which need not cost more than fift
Jiausaud dollars.
As wo said before , Mayor Boyd'
nessogo is a strong and croditabl
locumont which should bo carefull

unienco ho subdivides these as fol-
iws : (1) ( ) The north Atlantic states ,

Living Express Freight.
Cblcigo Tribune.
The Adams Express company r
ccivtd a telegram yesterday mornii
from their ngonton the Pittaburg at
Fort Wayne train which left hero i
0 o'clock fho previous evening for tl
east , that a man had been found coi
coaled in n box in the express car an
hnd been handed over to the cilice
at Van Wert , Ind. lie gave his nan
as John McAuloy , of 171 West Moi
roe street. The box , which was pn
vidou V ith wire at the top and bo
torn to give ventilation , was labcllc
"Tho Last Rose of Summer , " at
the expressmen supposed it con taint
flowers , but when Mr. McAuley wi
( und snugly ensconced in it thi
fancied ( they had captured a robbc
Ho had with him a supply of prot
siena sufi'icicnt to last six days , or
fr , m the information gleaned , it w
concluded that the man had ndopti
this novel way of traveling to sa1
the difference between the pasaong
ami freight rates of faro , the latt
having been prepaid to Plnladolphii
It is understood that Mr. McAuloy
about sixty-five years of ago and
comfortable circumstances , but givi
to eccentricities which have often s
his family on their wits' ends. It
said that if ho hid succeeded in reac
ing the City of Brotherly Love in h
box lip intended to undertake a sim :
ar trip to Denver. It was lucky f
Mr. McAuloy that this attempt
reach the Atlantic seaboard as an c
press package was discovered in tl
day time , for if ho had been found
night the express messenger wou
have boon likely to have peppered hi
with a revolver. It is to bo rogrotti
that the agent , after satisfying hir
self that the man in < the -box u ;
harmless , did not allow himtoprocet
in his novel conveyance merely fortl
purpose of testing a man's powera <
endurance for two days and a nigl
for the purpose of evading the e :
ponso of a few paltry dollars , and i
order to give the sleepy Philadelph
papers a sensation. But the gentl
man's scheme was nipped in the bui
and the company may require him I
provo his object was not robbery.
Why Chandler Broke with Blalnn.
Concord letter to The Now Yor
Herald : Chandler has undergone
3hango of heart since the inauguratlo
of President Garfield. Though na
urally of stalwart composition , t
much so that ho always despised M
Hayes , and never , during the latter
occupancy of the White House , pe :
mitted an opportunity to pass withoi
uxprensing hid contempt for the mat
his milk and water policy and the h ]
pocrisy of his administration. H
early allied himself with the interest
} f Mr. Elaine , and was ono of h :
foremost advocates for a nominatio
to the presidency , having in conjum
; ion with Mr. Halo , the manaEomer.
) f the Maine statesman's interests the
: ho Joafc national republican convet
lion , and being a vigorous and out
ipokon opponent of the third ten
xmbitiona of Gen. Grant. The olectio
jf GarBeld and the onthronging c
Blaine as Secretary of State , place
[ /handler once moro in good ordc
, vith the administration and in friend
y relations with the departments , an
in opportunity was presented t
Blaine to reward his faithful sorvan
aid ally. Blaine proved true to hi
lature , deserted his .henchman at ,
iritical time , and this is the true Be
irot of the conversion of William E
Chandler from half-breedism to stal
vartiam. It was radical , prompt am
horough , and dates from the day u
lis rejection by the senate for the so
icitor generalship , to which ho hai
> eon nominated by Garfield at Blaino'
lolicitation ; but for which neitho
ronturod to support him when Me
Veagh and his friends opposed him
Chandler's course was taken in an in
it ant ; ho immediately , it is claimed
joined hands with Mr. Conkling , witl
rhom ho had long maintained inti
nato friendly relations , and was pre
> ared to make war on the adminlstra
ion , and especially to assist in pun
shing Elaine. Had Garfield hvol hi
idministration would have como ii
or the same share of ridicule and de
lunciation from Chandler that hi
lestowod upon that of the forme :
) hio president.
Ho very naturally takes to the pros
nt administration and will generally
ocoivo , the support of all Mr. Conk
ing's influence. It is generally un
orstood by his friends hero that hi
as irrevocably broken with Blaine
'ho is savagely denounced by then
3r his base ingratitude in deserting
'handler ' when ho needed help ant
'hen a word from Blaine and Garfield
tust Buraly have prevented the dis <
onor of a rejection for the office foi
hich they had named him. Chnnd-
r is a zetfloua stalwart now , and
lus places himself in line with the
rovailing sentiment of his party
are , at the same time rendering it
orally certain that Mr. Blaine will
it receive thu votes of Now Hamp-
tire in the next National Republican
invention.
