LIQUOR LEGISLATION’ IN KANSAS AND NEBRASKA, ‘ ‘Tho recent Iquor legisiation in the West- ern States of Kansas and Nebraska Is of fon- sidernble Interest as furnishing teste by which to Judge of the practicability of the two most Important schemes for assailing tho evils of Intomperance—namely: coercive teototalism and high license. Those two ad- Joining States in many respects, especially In the charactet of thelr. population, aro very similar, and 1n the course of tine naturally found themselves confronted with the grent question of intemperance and the necessity of legislating against jt, and Kansas took the lead a year ago, ‘ Her Governor, St. John, who appears to bo arndical disclple of the Net Dow school of political tectotalism, miarshalod Its forces,’ ‘and succceded In sccuring.the passnge of prohibition amendinent to the O onatitutfon, It was ns rigid, severe, ant fron-bound a3 the most dogmatic affirmation evor made by. coercive teototalism. It ways so sweeping that It came nenr prohibiting the uso of wine in the sacrament, and it was only after a sumewhat determined struggle thet the courts so construed it ns-to make an ex- ception in the latter ease. In overy other form, everything drinkable, contalning the allghtest degree of splflts, from rum to eldir, even in medicines, was barred out. It was mado & penal offense to buy It, to salt It, to give it away, to drinic tt, to manufacture It, or to bring It {nto tho State, except through the medical channels ond Into tho agencles designated by Jaw, The entire pollee and constabulnry, and, in fact, polltical machine ery of the State, was brought thto requ- sition and specially charged to enforces tho law. Moro thnn this, the Governor had the moral help of public sentiment to a larger degree, perhaps, than could be had th almost any other State in the Union, for the people of Kansas are largely of New England orl- gin, and represent its radical and Puritanic unture fn soclal and sumptuary reforms, ‘The hosts of tho enémy arrayed them- Solves for the strugele also, and now. after a year’s contest, what do we see? ‘The Gov- Ornor Issues an offloint proclumation offering & large reward for testimony which shall convict palice, Constables; Sherlifs, Justices, and agents who have failed to atop drinkin in the citios and towns, Whint more is this than a confession of failure? ‘The reason for this falliire is not diMcult to ascertain, Itis the old story that hasbeen told everywhere where tha law says to ‘the eltizen: “You shall not drihk anything atronger than water,’ and men xefuse to be dictated to or’ bulldozed in a sumptuary matter. Evon In Kansas they ask for Iquor, offer to pay for it, and where thero is ademand for the article there Is sure to be a supply: so tho drinking goes on in Kansas In desplte of fities ahd seatohés, ‘threats and proclamations, After sll, hhman nature aud Appetites are very iuch thé same every- where, and coercion Isa poor substitute for moral suaslon in muttera of eating or drink- ing, : m ‘Lhe people of Nebtraka, on the other hand, quietly watching tho courgo of eyonta In Kansas, and seeing Jittle hope front forcible prohibluon, reversed the Kansas _polloy, and instead of btriking nt the drinkers struck at the venders wilh the hixh-llcense system, fixing the licensesin the larger cities at $1,000 8 year, and in the towns and villages at $500, Jy this pian, off tha one hand, thoy argued that they would Increase their revenues, inke the machingry of the taw self-support Ing, and pay all thelr police and constabulary oxpenses; and, on the other hand, would close up the low doxgerles and keep open only the mure orderly and’ reputable places, Soma thousands of Hquor-sullers not able to tuke out high Jcenses would .be remitted back to productive employments and forced to work foru living. ‘Tho Hquor-seltova held wieetings of Indlg- nation, refused to pay auch a high teense, and made preparations to fight ft, But what Was the rogult?
