ALL SECTIONS WILL BE BENEFIITED. Theletter of Seeretary Blaine to the Boot and Shoe club of Boston may not boregarded with universal favor in New England, because it conveys un impliel censure of the sentiment in that seetion opposed toreciprocity which it is inti mated has its motivein sectional selfish- ness. Soms of the representatives of New Englind in congress havemani- fosted hostility tothe proposed policy aud Mr. Bline reminds them that while New England isto receive tho amplest protectionfor all her munufacturing in- dustries inthe new tariftf it will be both inexpedient andinjurious for her repre smtatives (o disregard a measure which will promote western interests, The we- Thuke, for such ineffect itis, istimely and Just. It Tws been the disposition in New England forsome years to look with dis- favor upon neatly every measure of pub- lio policy which promised material ad- vantages tothewest, and this spirit of swctionl selfishness or jewlousy hus becormo clronie. - In the last presi- dential compaign Mr. Don Diek: inson, then postmaster gineral, chirgel that the pervading feeling in New Eng- ld was one of confirmed hostility to westem progress and prosperity, and while this sccusation may not have been entively just, it was not wholly ground: less. The existence of such a feeling may appear to be incompatible with the fact that New Fngland capital has prof- ilod enormously by westemn investments, but numerous circumstinces might be cited to show that the fecing doesexist, Thosuggestion that reeiprocity with the southern countries might be largely beneficinl tothe producersof the west, by giving them mew markets for their surplus, was suficient to induce a conspleuous manifestation of this spirit, though it Is butjustto siy that It was not general. It wasa New England sen- ator who proposed and carried through the reciprocity amendment to the tarif bill. Influential newspapers in that sec- tion huve spproved the policy, and the olub to which Mr. Blaine addressed his letter hasendosed it. But theore are prominent representatives of that sec- tion inandoutof cngress who oppose the policy for ressons so far as thoy have vouchsafel any, the sectional mo- tive of which isevident. Aund yet it is not apparent low New England could possibly be plicedat any disad vantage by the proposed policy, or why, indeed, it should notresult tohe = benelfit, it any gool came from I, in nealy or quite oguil measure with shy other section, AsMr. Blaino sald, meiprocity is not o dern interest only. It wiil bone. fit both the farm and the shop if whut is expected fromit should be real: ized. The manufacturersof New BEng- land would have an equal chance in the southern murkets with all other pro- ducts of the country. DBesides, if re- ity should Increise the prosperity vestern farmers the woolen, cot. ton anl other manufacturers of New England would cortainly share in the benefits, Hence it s obviouly Inex. pedient, as Mr. Blabe mys, for New England representatives to disregord a mansure which will promote wester in tersts, Regarding the arguments which My, Bline presents in this letter in hehall of giving wciprocity a trial, they aro cerlainly vplwsible i mot conclwive Wo camot know what the proposed poliey Wil accomplish, or whother it is capbleof accomplishing anything, vith: outan opportunity to obsirve its practi- calworkings, Itmay be doubted, how: ever, whether the sortion of Mr, Bline that recipros the squard of protection was quite wise or politie, if hemesnnt tho sort of protection provided forin the pending tariff bill. UNDERGROUND WIRES. The request of the NebraskaTele. phone compuny for permission to place itswires undergroundshould be promptly grntel by the council, under proper safeguards, Ttis the beginning of a movement that will eventually result in plicing all overhead wiresunder ground, aconsummation devoutly to he wished, The streets and alleys of thecity, par- ticularly inthe business section, are en- cunbered with anetvorkof wires. This erowding of high and low current wires nuturally destroys the usefulness of the laller, and forces thecompanies 1o aban- Ao theoverhead system. By placing lov current wire unlerground a great anl ever presentdanger will bo averted, Nomatter how muchears is exerised, the crossing of telephone wires with Light and motor wire is liablo to occur at any moment, trmsmitting to hundrels of homes a dmnge: ous current. As a measure of 1f- prtection, therefors, the company is obliged to place its wires underground, The change will necessitate the up- rotingof pavements inthe streets and alleys, but this cannot beavoided, The resulting beneflts will repay the tempo- rary inconvenience sufferod. The great alvaniage to begained in removing the ruft of overhead wires and improving the appearance of the streets will he appreciatel by business men and prop- erty ovners, Itis the boginning of the enl of the unsightly forest of poles lining the streots, and the ity author ities shoull encoumge the reform by every reasonable meins. E—— TIrE nomination of Mr. Dorsey means a redhot campaign in the Third con- gressional district. His success in the convention is lirgely duo to federal of- ficehiolders, Two yoars ago he declared that he would not stand forre-clection and & good many republicans had talken him at hisword, but thé very acrimoni- ous warfarethathasbeenmade upon him personully, coupled with the fact that the opposition is divided, have doubtless promyted Mr. Dorsey to re-enter the feld and moke the fight. The responsibility for the outcome willbe with him. IT 18 more than probable that the Missis constitutional convention will fuil toaceomplish its purpose, The democracy is ripe for any schemewh ich will insure permanent, peacelul suprem- acy of the minority, but as yet no feasi- ble plan his been produced. The edu- cational qualification lacks the wvital es- sential—that of disqualilying the illiter- ate colored voto without disfranchising ignorant whites. A poll tax will not work the right way, while the property qualification is objectionable because it vests too much pover in tho landlords and strikees the poorof hoth partics with equalforco, The Austrlian system of voting is diseredited bocause ofits so- crecy, the verypriniplo which, if hon- estly enforced, would drive the democ- mey from power in a majority of the southern states, None of the four plans proposed for settling the sulfrage Ias sufficient backing in the convention to insuro success. As a consequence, a serious rupture is brewing in the demo- cratic ranks, and unless s change comes over the spirit of the conventio, the shotgun and the bulldowr will be rein- stated in power, n in Kansas is v sadly mixed. There arothree tick- ots inthe field, the regular republican tickel headed by Humphrey, the Farn ers” Alliance ticket headed by Willits and the democraticand anti-prohibition, or resubmission ticket, headed by ex- Governor Robinson, The combined al- lianee and so-alled fusion ticket it is daimed by conservative politicians rop- resenis at least ons hundred and fifty thousand votes. If this strength is brought out atthe polls, republicans and their prohibition folly are apt to have a docidedly clos¢shawe, Thero is agrov- ing sentiment in Kansas aguinst prohi- bition, and it should have been a non- prtisn isue, The republican party defeated itself once on account of it, and itis stange that such a badly singed child would insist on plying with the fire again, — DENOCRATIC papers down eust ae elling on Chauncey I.

FALLACES OF PROHIBITION, A Number of Them 8hown Up by a Topeka, Kansas, Paper, POPULATION ~ FALSEH00DS ~ REFUTED. The Situation as it is Stripped of All Buncombe-News ltems With a Moral-Temperance at a Discount, The mecting of the resubmission state con- vention at Topeka, Kan., last weekand the nomination of ex-Governor Charles Robin- son has enthused the liberal peopleof that state, and the bolief is growing that emanci- pation from theoppressivo prolibition lay is nearat hand. The Topeks Republican is in the fight, as a leader, and the Last issue is full of hot shot for the cause. Among othor things contained in the Republican is the following fresh matter, which is of interest to tho people of Nebraska: NEBIASKA AND KANSAS, Tho population of Kansas in 1850 was 9%, 000, that of Nebraska 353000. Which stato has made the mostdevelopment since that date, Kansas under prohibition or Nebraska * "The estimated Qopnlu- 050,000, W hat is rom the census bureau at Washing- ingKansis a population of 1,650,000, Notwithstanding the fact that Superintend- ent Porter has denied that such an esti- mate was ever made, the Capital and other prohibition papers keep on reit- erating the falsehood that we have 1,630,000 people. When did they come s Letus see. The high water mark in our ppulition was reached March 1, 185, cording to the statistics compiled by Mohler, we had 1,318,552 people. rt for the year ending Marchl, 1859, he eives o populationof 146504, ora decrease in population of 53,635, The great exodus of Oklahoma had not commenced at that periol, as that territory was not open until April'22 of that year, So the shrinkage of 53,635 could not be accounted for upon that ground. To make the population now claimed, to-wit: 1,050,000, we must have gained sinco March 1, 1880, 216,086 people. When did they come here and where did they locate! Did they settlein the eastern portion of tho state, or the westernportion! Leavenworth, on March |, 1887, had 86,227 people, and now has 21,000, Topeka had 34,199, and now has 81,000, Wichita had 84,00, and now bas 24,00, With a half dozen exceptions all towns in Kansas have shownadecrease in population sinco that date, and everybody admits that thousands of farmers have left the westem portion of the state, Our popu- lation does not exeeed 1,350,000 today. Whilo Nebraska under her igh license has that many pople or more. While we have rewched this point from 9M,- 000 in 1880, Neoraska has reached hers from 452,000 in the same year. Tho pro- hibitionists, twithstanding their high claims to morality and virtue, have started out on a campaign of falseloods, and no doubt thesaints now visiting Nebraska from the state of Kansas base their whole argu- mentupon this falselood. 1t will not wia. POLITICAL BUNCOMDE, Itis thefashion of one kind of newspapers in Kansas to proclain nat prohibition has beena gratifying suc ; that it has ban- ished the “open saloon uppressed drunk- enness; raised the standard of the morals of the people; decreased the amount of erime; lessened the number of paupersand brougat prosperityto the state. Let us look at this matter calmly and dispassionately, stripped of all buncombe, partisan feeling and high- sounding asserfions, It is reasonable to supposc that if tho prohibitory law had brought with it all the good that a cor- tain cliquo claim for it, the great majority of our pegplo would be’ content to let that amendment remain in the constitution of the state. Infact it is not unreasonable to think that nine out of every ten men would be por- fectly satisfied witha system that bas beon and now isadvancing theinterests of their state, Butarethe people of Kansas thus satisfied withthe prohibitory law OnTuesday of last week the state conven- y was held in Wichita. Thisp omprises 40 per centof the total vote of Kansas. Delegatesto that convention came fromevery section of the stute, representing every interest of the state by representative men, men who are just as muchinterested in the welfare of the state as are thomen of any othel v in thestato, their property i nessis here, and the, carthly motive in m or in adopting a policy that would hurt its interesis. If thelr interests and the in- terests of the people of Kansas had been ad- vanced by our prohibitory laws, not a single delegate in that convention would have voted aye on & resolution declaving against prohibi- tion, On the same day another convention was heldin the sawe civy, - This convention was composed of delegiles representing fully on 1T of the dominant party of Kansas. They camo from every section of the state and ruFruumwd overy interestof the state. Their interests, too, are in the state, and not a single one of them would takea step pre- judicial to thoso interests, oth these ¢ ventions doclare most emphatically that pro- hibition s not now, nor ever has been satls- fuctory and demand its overthrow. Why, then, should any paper continue to assert that prohibition is satisfactory to the people of Kansas?

To one of these ‘spotters’ thy county attorney paid $0 amonth andto thy other §5-all of which, of course, wrung from the taxpayers of Shawne county. This work was carried on by the ficials to such an extent that the peoplo grow tired of bearingthe burdens and entereda vigorous protest at a meeting called in the city of Topeka for that purpose, at which not less than five thousand people Were present. This, and the fact that another election, at which county ofticers are to be chosen is com- ing on, hasinduced the county attorney to go a little slow in the matter of liquor prosecu- tions, But 1t will avail him uothing, Tho peoplo are tired of this foolish and eriminal wastoof their moneyand will overthrow tha whole prohibition ring at the coming clection, TENPERENCE (UTS NO FIGURE.

It is a staunch republican paper, but will not train with the Kausas prohibition side-show. Last winter that old” political shyster and cerical hypocrit, Rev. Bernard Kelly (who thinks more of an oftice than he does of his religion or his God), madc a speech in Em- poriain which he made a statement in refer- ence to thenumber of paupers in the various counties in the state, giving Marin county us one that had nopaupers. The Globe took the matter up and showed that this statement was ubsolutely false, and that Marion had, at the time tho speech was made a large number of indigent persons supported by the count The “roasting” that the Globe gave the ri erend falsificr was ouly equalled by the one he guwve Hudson lastweok on the latter's refaced falsehood in regard tothe number rtgage foreclosures inthat county.
