on the liquor which1 had been used lu Topeka, we would not be doing buIites In a rattle-trap court bouse on Kansas avenue, but we would have a inagiilficent court Iioumo like the oue at Wichita. Thia sentiment of prohibition, he said, had filled the state ith soft-handed crunk who could tulk nothing else. The city of Tojieka, he eald, wa running behind every month in her municipal expense, Wichita wa running behind $2,000 per mouth over and above the revenue which she collect. Topeka was running bchlud $2,500 per mouth. In Wichita over $100,000 had been expended during the past five year lu couvlctlug jolutist and supporting them during their imprisonment.

Topeka, ho said, hud hud nu average of one business failure every week fur the past six month. The bunk of Topeka were straining every dollar of their credit for the purpose of carrying the business men and keeping them out of luislnes Insolvency. It is the same, he said, in Wichita, In Klng-mnn, and in every other city. Prohibition is one of the cause of the present hard times in Kansus, Immigration has been turned away from our state. The slgu ha been hung up in Castle Garden that Kansas has prohibition, nnd because of tliis spirit of intolerance the industrious foreigners go to other states.

For that reason, Kansas got only 2,090 immigrants last year while Texas got 127,000 and Nebraska 102,000. lie read a letter from a man in Germany who is organizing a large colony to come to the Uhited States. The letter was in answer to one written from Wichita asking him to bring bis colony to that place, and said that lie could not got one of the colony to consent to come to Kansas. He closed with a comparison of the various states, showing the growth of the high license states as against the almost standstill of prohibition states, the comparison being in favor of the former. Taxing it all in all the meeting was everything thut the most ardent resub-mlssionist could Lave desired, and a thousand times more than the prohibitionists Wanted, BKSUBM1SSION NOTES.

The writer has lived in Topeka nearly all his life and can sa'fely say, without fear of contradiction, that the two great meetings held by the resubmission republicans in this city surpassed In numbers, person nel aud Interest any political gatherings that have ever asembled In capital city. Trie Evening Journal had to lie about the meeting. But then the Journal isnt believed by anybody and doesnt count. A number of people who live in the suburbs had to leave before the close of the meeting to catch the last car which leaves Jackson street at 10:10. The Journal reporter knows this, if he knows as much as a yearliug calf, but like a a great many other zealots in the prohibition cause, he deliberately lied when lie said the audience dwindled rapidly away before the close of Bentleys speech.

There is no building in the city of To' peka (and it has some big ones) hi enough to accommodate the crowds who desire to attend resubmission meetings. Never mind, though, warm weather is approaching when the resubmissionists will hold some of the largest out-door meetings ever held in Kansus. A MONSTER MEETING. Representative Hall Literally Packed With Eager Listen- ere. The Tidal Wave of Resubmieaion Has Reached the Capital City.

KNTBUHIAHTIC SPEECHES. Though a thousand Topeka Dully Capitals should publish that Resubmlsslon la Kansas is dead; though a hundred thousand Joe Hudson were to hold up their right hund and swear colossal oath that the people of Topeka are not interested on this question, the monster meeting In Representative ball, night before last, would give them all the lie. The hall on thut night contained a thousand extra cffulrs hired for the occasion. Every seat on the floor and In the galleries was occupied, standing room was in demand and many turned away at the doors, not being able to find admittance. In the audience were a number of ludies, but In the main It was composed of business mbn, professional men, working men and farmers, eager to hear Borne word of hope for relief from the fanatical rule under which they live.

The Capital and papers of its ilk may prate about people attending these meetings through curiosity, but the audience on Friday night was composed of men who are In earnest and mean business, too much so for the machine iu Kansas politics. Music waB furnished by Marshall's Military band and was of such a character as to put the people all in the humor for listening to the ringing speeches of the evening. A little after eight oclock Hon. A. L.

Allen, president of the Stato Republican Resubraisslon club, and of the Topeka club, called the meeting to order and appointed Messrs. Sterne, Evans and Stair a committee on resolutions. In opening, Mr. Allen said: On behalf of the state republican resubmlssion club of Kansas I desie to say that the resubmlssion movement is assuming proportions far beyond our most sanguine expectations. The move inent has gwept over the state as a hurricane.

The most encouraging word comes from every locality. In our city when our committee Inquired of a dis-tiuguished citizen the names of some citizens favoring resubmlsflion they were told to take the city directory, foS they were all for resubmlssion. From western Kansas come recent authentic reports that the people are practically a unit for resubmissiou. In some river districts 95 per cent of the republicans have joined resubmission 'clubs. Our investigation convinces us that the state is overwhelmingly for resubmission and that at earliest possible moment.

In a canvass yesterday of Kansas avenue in this city by two gentlemen, only two prohibitionists were found iu a distance of four blocks. The democratic vote is 40 per cent of the entire state. On the most conservative basis 90 per cent of this is for resubmission. The republican vote is fully one-half for resubmission, so that on the most conservative estimate 75 per cent of tin people of Kansas favors resubmission. The people demand an extra session of the legislature that they may have this question submitted.

Mr. Allen then Introduced Hon. W. Steen, of Kingman, the eloquent resub-mission champion, who said that it was a sarcastic commentary on the prejudice of the times that made it necessary that a resubmissionist should explain himself. He was not an advocate of the reeking saloon and ruined fireside; not an enemy to sobriety and temperance.

He was a republican and always had been, he denied the right of any red-nosed, cadaverous-jawed, long-haired and spindle-shanked prohibitionists to read Aim out of the party. So far as he was personally concerned should the manufacture, Importation, sale and use of intoxicating llquorB be absolutely prohibited in the United States he would be as healthy and enjoy a vast deal more complacency of spirit and contentment of mind than a number of ultra prohibitionists of his personal acquaintance. Ilia appreciated and acknowledged the evil, misfortunes, woe and suffering resulting from an indiscriminate use and sale of intoxicating liquors. Being a man and in favor of temperance he would condemn, and moBt bitterly condemn, the totally inadequate and imprecticsMe remedy prescribed for these evils In the form of prohibition. Prohibition was not a national temperance measure.

The people did not think it necessary to prohibit raising stock be cause some scroundrel might be tempted and did steal one. It was not suggested that as a remedy for the evils of divorce, that marriage should be prohibited. The theory of prohibition is absurd, and the practice is damnable. From 1870 to 1880, under the license law, Kansas increased her population 173 percent; from 1880 to 1885 she increasd in population only 27 per cent. From 1880 to 1885 Nebraska increased her population 63 percent It is simply the richness of her soil and the courage and nerve of her citizens that keep Kansas up in spite of prohibition.

There is an unrest, a desire for some remedy on the part of our farmer, that mut be hooded and heeded now; If relief doe not come from the republican party the farmer will hold it res-pomdble at the jiext election. We do not dare to Ignore the call that comes up from the agricultural population. They believe that Governor Humphrey ha too much courage aud too much manhood to Ignore the call that I made by the farmer for an extra session. Prohibition falls to prohibit. In Kingman forty-two car loads of beer had been shipped In aud used.

But a sample of the citlei of Kansas. lie was in favor of making the traffic bear Its ownexpensi of taxing the farmer, the bushies man ami the laborer to pay the expenses of needles prosecution. If we do not throw off this yoke of fanaticism sixty counties would send up democratic representatives to the next legislature. 1U Nil 1 NO RESOLUTION PHXSKNTK.il. The report of the committee on resolution was as follows: Resolved, That we extend to our distinguished guests a most hearty welcome, and that we denounce the action of the Topeka Dally Capital for It unwarranted statements.

We congratulate the people of Ivansus that the demand for resubmlssion of the prohibitory amendment to a vote of the people has spread with such marvelous rapidity over the entire stute that fully two-thirds of our citizens are in favor of submitting the question at the earliest possible moment, to the end that the prohibitory amendment may be forever eradicated from our organic law. We further congratulate the people of Kansas that the barriers of intolerance and fanaticism are breaking away before the advance of thought, reason and experience, nnd tliut citizens dare to utter their honest sentiments at all times with impunity and without fear of ostracism from the adherents of radical prohibition. We sympathize with the Kansas farmers that the conditions are such tlmt in the best agricultural state in the union, agriculture is sorely depressed, and that they are without home markets for the products of their industry und toil, and that they are compelled to pay the carrying charges beyond the limits of the state before a market can be found. While we do not charge the present depression in agriculture to prohibition alone, we do charge that by the adoption of a system of laws hostile and Inimical to a large number of the people of the United States, thus driving out valuable industries, preventing certain classes of manufactures, repelling immigration, and making the cultivation of certain crops unprofitable, prohibition has wrought unlimited injury to the farming iutetests of Kansas. We charge that prohibition has paralyzed aud injured the industry and business in every state in the union that has adopted and trierj it as a political1 measure; and that its.

effect upon the morals of the people have been pernicious in the highest degree, and we challenge the friends of prohibition to succssfully controvert these accusations. We oppose prohibition because it is at enmity with the fundamental principles of our civilization, and destroys that inalienable right of the citizen to determine for himself by what method he will pursue his own happiness without inter ference with the rights of others, which principle is the basis of our liberties and the hope of our institutions. rnOHIBITION WARM I. EENOUNCED, We denounce prohibition because it promotes a system of spies, informers and spotters, loathsome and detestable to honest men; and we commend the action of our distinguished jurist, C. G.

Foster, in refusing to convict men on the testimony of spotters alone. We denounce the recent employment of such testimony by the county attorney upon which to convict men and deprive them of their liberties. We denounce prohibition because it is un-American, un-republican and un-dem-ocratic, and not in harmony with the purposes and spirit of our Institutions and laws. As republicans we acknowledge our fealty to the principles enunciated in the platform of the national republican Rand we declare that prohibition is ltlict with the traditions, doctrines and teachings of that party and should be eliminated from the policy and platform of the republican party in Kansas, as has been done by the republican party in thirty-five states in the union. Therefore, we believe that the existence of the prohibitory law is a perpetual menace to the material interests of Kansas, and believing that any public measure in the hands of an enlightened people is absolutely safe, and knowing that a great proportion of the people of Kansas demand the repeal of the prohibitory amendment, we respectfully and earnestly request the governor of Kansas to call an extra session of the legislature to the end that the prohibitory amendment may be submitted to a vote of the people at the next election of representatives in November, 1890.

We demand the right to Be heard upon this question, and until it is granted our importunities will not cease. Frequent outbursts of applause interrupted the reading of the resolutions, which were adopted amid cheers. Max B. Henry In a ringing and eloquent speech of ten minutes moved the adoption of the resolutions. The motion was carried without opposition.

Senator O. H. Bently, of Wichita, was then introduced and made a speech that fairly bristled with good points. He said the machine has control of the politics of Kansas now, but that the little cloud of resubmission that appeared in the northern part of the State had spread over more than fifty counties. He said the closing of the saloons by the passage of the prohibition law had resulted in the cutting oat Wichita alone $45,000 lost.

This he charged, was the cause of the high taxes and he proceeded to cite instances where the tax rate ranged from 4 to 8 cents on the dollar. He said that if Shawnee county had the money which she ought td have received He Hum Amuck In Chicago. TWO POLICEMEN WOUNDED. A Child Murdoror Executed. Tin list.

County Clifti-lvorl Killing A Kuilwuliir1. Noutonvo. Chicago, March 9.

Felix Kampf was hanged here Fr.day for the murder of bis two childron on the night of October 4, 1889. This is tho first legal banging in the Stato since 1858.

The receipts of the state penitentiary last year were expenses, This does not include fifty car loads of fuel sent to other state institutions.

A drunken soldier at Leavenworth shot Patrick Counet, until it is not known whether he will live or die, because Con-net refused to talk to him in the office of the Grant hotel.
