OH?BITION IN KANSAS. ATYPICAL PHOMIlimOMST TALKS ABOUT TJJE LAW. [From tho Now York Timos.] TOPBKA, KAN., July 22.-In a provious dispatoh I have spoken of tito Radicalism which has sorved to intrench prohibition in Kansas and which promises to keep it in opera tion indefinitely. Outsido of Kan sas ono finds no counterpart of this spirit. It seems to bo peculiarly a product of tho soil. It is as near akin to Puritanism as anything 1 can think of. Socially theso Prohibitionists aro charming; in tho ordinary business walks tltoy aro pleasant and attrac-1 tivoj but question tito merits of their hobby and you arouse the spirit which in so many seems fanatical. They will liston to an anti-prohibi tion argument, but the person who makes it is speedily made to feel that ho is an object of pity. Politi cally they ate backed by tho Repub licans, who nover fail to insert pro hibition planks in their platforms. Every woman voter in Kansas is a prohibitionist at heart, and it must not be forgotton that tho woman suf frage sentiment is constantly grow ing here. Owing to tito lack of large oitics in Kansas a community feeling obtains, which is not discerni ble in any Eastern Slate. Ononn familiar with this feeling, and with tho other peculiar conditions attach ing to Kansas-and a non-resident will never thoroughly understand thom-cannot bo blamed for taking stook in the present talk of resub mission, which was really started by Missouri newspapers circulating in this State. In order that tho readers of the Times may gain a fair idea of thc dominant feeling in Kansas, I pro poso to introduce here a typical Kansas prohibitionist and permit him to make arguments in behalf of tho institution he favors. Mr. J. W. Gleed has made a reputation at the State bar, and was retained by tho State in tito celebrated Mugler and Walruff brewery cases before the United States Supreme Court. He has lived in Kansas since 1800, and is .a professor in the State Law Sohool. His views differ from those of tho average advocate of prohibi tion only because they are deeply tinged with philosophy, reinforced by ostensivo knowledge of the law. But they are interesting, even to an anti-prohibitionist. "Prohibition," said he, "is here to stay. Thc pooplo of Kansas will not bo very much affected by elections adverse to prohibition itt other States. They have tried prohibition and found it a good thing." "What basis have you for claim ing Hint prohibition is good for tho State?" T asked. "To begin with, those who main tain that prohibition is wrong in prin cipio urge that it leads to hypocrisy and perjury; that it is an attempt to make men good by law; that it invades without justification the realm of pure ethics; that it is a blow at thc moral dignity of man; that it creates a crime out of an ac tion winch was not, before tho law was passed, a crime, and which is not mahon in se; that it does violence to personal liberties which ought to be sacred, and that it ignores moral dis tinction. Those who oppose prohi bition on the ground of alleged prin ciple are men whoso thoughts run mainly on abstract questions-men who arc unfamiliar with affairs-pro fessors in theological seminaries or sociologists who form theories and then hunt arguments and facts to support them. "Every section of the criminal code leads lo deceit, hypocrisy, per jury and other offences against the moral and civil law. All municipal law, civil or criminal, is an attempt to make men good by compulsion in tho same sense that prohibitory laws are attempts to make men good by compulsion. All municipal laws in vade the realms of ethics and aro a blow at thc mola! dignity of men. Nearly all criminal laws when first enacted made acts criminal which had not before been looked upon us such. Killing in a duel is a crime now; it was not a crime two hun dred years ago. Under certain cir cumstances, to cause the death of a fellow-being by one's negligence is now manslaughter; it was not so once. Criminal codes now control, or attempt to control, the sexual re lations to an extent which was not dreamed of in Greece timi Rome, nor in England three hundred years ago. Gambling is a crime now; it wasn't once. It is a crime for oven an innocent man to break jail. No thing seems more innocent in itself. "All civil law does violence to personal liberties. No form of so ciety is possible without the surren der of personal liberties. People seldom follow out tho personal liber ty argument. Tito ravages of the liquor traffic are terrible. This is admitted. The evils resulting from the sale and consumption of intoxi cants aro beyond computation. Tho M?' 'saloon, whothor you look ut it from a moral, a politioal or an economical point of view, is a curso. It is tl>c mother of nil other crimes. Intern pernnco is a peculiar danger-insinu ating, persistent. For live centuries tho ICngHsh-speaking raco has boon trying to protect itsolf by restrictivo legislation. Pestriclivo legislation hos failed. Tho danger has grown gloater. It has boon demonstrated that tho only way to do away with its evils is to do away with thc traillo or endure tho evils, "Now ono individual rises and says: 'My personal rights must re? main intact. I must bo allowed to sell, buy and drink as I please.' On tho other hand rises another individ ual and says: 'I, too, have personal rights. Must I ho taxed to arrest, convict, support and punish the cri minals produced by tho liquor traillo in order to allow my friend his por sonnl right to drink ? Society owes as much to mc as to my friond. Tho free sale of liquor produces from time to time in our community a number of human brutes and mani acs who kill, maim and rob and en danger my family and property. I and my family have a right to the freedom of the city. If tho city contains saloons my wife is in dan ger of insult on tho public streets at any time. There are forced upon us thc sights, sounds and smells which attend tho saloon, and which arc ob noxious to us, and from which we have tho right to he exempt. I have political rights; tho saloon has cut thom oft again and again.' "All municipal law ignores moral distinctions. It must do so in thc natu e of things. It is the inevita ble consequence of the imperfection of man. These tilings aro true to the knowledge of every lawyer, and, therefore, these objections to prohi bitory liquor laws can only consist ently bo argued by tho philosophie anarchists, who ask thc abrogation of nil human laws. Prohibitory liquor laws arc right if criminal law is right. So far as abstract right is concerned, they stand or fall with our entire system of humanly or dained law. They aro consistent with all other human laws. Prohibi tory laws and all their consequences have been sustained by all thc Courts. Courts cannot consistently sustain any law restricting thc sale of intoxicating liquors without alsc sustaining prohibitory liquor laws and no philosophical objection lief against a prohibitory law that does not lie equally against thc multiforn restrictive legislation, which has ii five centuries appeared upon tin statute books of England and tin United Stales. To those sincorel; seeking to form just opinions of pro hibition I would say: 'Ile not to< m liol) influenced by the opinions o your neighbors.' So many thing arc decided by a count of noses ii this country that it is not stirprisinj if opinions, or so-called opinions, ar often determined in thc same waj I conceive the opinions of thc follow ing classes of men oil the question c tho right or the policy of prohibit io to be wholly unworthy a moment1 attention; first, those who have o think they have a pecuniary interest primaryjor secondary, in thc manu facture or sale of intoxicating liquor? second, those who have no care fo tho welfare of society, no desire t see social conditions improved, n sympathy with tho woes of otho men, no comprehension of tho evil resulting from tho usc of alcohol) beverages. I think that these tw classes include 00 per cent of al those who opposo prohibition. Onl thc opinions of those who desire t see thc evils of intemperance abat are worth considering." "Do you deny the existence c grounds for argument in regard t prohibition ?" 1 said. "The only ground is expediency Prohibition is not wrong, but if bc certain that it cannot ho reason I 1 ?1 v well enforced I think it unwis to enact it. In any community ; any tinto tho question is simply titi Is there a good working majority thoroughly in earnest, with moue and talent at its command favorin the enforcement of the law?" "And how about Kansas?" "Kansas had a fighting majorit on tho side of prohibition. N< much iigiiiiiig was necessary in stun towns. As a rule thc larger tl town the longer it took to closo si loons. It has taken eight, years t close the saloon, but at last they ai all shut up OXCCpt those oil the bo der of Kansas City, Mo. Our oxpi porionco in Kansas was this: / first, good rion escaped jury servit if they could. Business men wei timid about antagonizing thc salo? keeper. As witnesses they mun bled, as jurymen they hoodwjnkc themselves. Prosecuting attorney delayed, waiting to seo what tl people meant. Pow convictioi wert! had; liquor was sold oponl But presently the people rallie Tli0 business man grew ashamed < himself. Ile no longer mumbled ? a witness. If lie bought beer i Smith he said so. As a jurymen 1 looked himself square in the fae Thc half-hCnrtCd prosecuting atto ney took hohl in earnest, or was r tired at thc polls. At first thc he legal talent was arrayed on tho sido of tho defense Tho best legal tal eat began to be ashamed of itself or got retained on the sido of. the peo ple. Tho Legislature changed tho statutes from time to time as expe rience demonstrated dofeots. Tho law is iioWtWcll enforced." "There is a wide difference of opi nion on that question, Mr. Gleed." . "I will admit that it is not en forced absolutely. In proportion to tho magnitude of tho evil, and tho prevalence of temptation, howovor, it is bettor enforced than other crimi nal laws. Not a twentieth of tho crimes committed any whero is ovor punished. Still wo bolievo that criminal law prevents very much crime. A much largor percentage of those who break tho law against liquor soiling are punished than thoso who break thc law against theft. Kansas was novor so prosper ous as it has boon in tho last eight years, but this prosperity is not nec essarily duo to prohibition alono. Merchants estimate the losses from bad debts at one-third less under prohibition than before. Tins is natural. Wo cannot be sure that our prosperity was due to thc pro hibitory law; neither can our oppo poncnts say that the present dull times are due to the prohibitory law. Take tho eight years altogether and it is demonstrable that no communi ty ever accomplished so much in an equal space of time. Our jails eon tain fewer prisonci's, our poor houses fewer paupers than beforo tho law went into effect. Our criminal dockets are smaller. We have no saloons. We have no drunkenness on election day. Our women vote in tho cities 'io the same polling places with men. Liquor plays no part whatever in our politics. Morally, the State is better off. Drunken ness luis decreased greatly. Boys arc not taught to drink. Thousands of young men wdio were once accus tomed to drink two or three times daily drink no more. Tho old drunkards may bo drunkards still, but there is no new crop of drunk ards coming up." Taking into consideration tho fact-patent to careful observers on the ground-that this kind of talk is endorsed by two out of three vot ing Kansans, and that the upper branch of the Legislature, which is pledged to prohibition, holds over for two years, even a prejudiced mind cnn see that the present agita tion for re-submission is premature. And in thc face of 82,000 Republi can majority-on a prohibition plat form, too-What hope is there for re-submission for a decade at least? A certain deacon in a church, which shall be nameless, had thc bad habit of snoaring while asleep during divine service. Ono Saturday eve ning ho received the. following note : "Deacon-is desired not to com mence spearing to-morrow until the sermon is begun, as some persons in thc neighborhood of his pew would like to hear the text." There is a premium on twins in Omaha. The Republican of that oity offers to every child born be tween January 16, 1C80, and April 16, 1800, whose parents subscribe to tho Republican, one chance in draw ing for a building lot, worth now $1,500, and guaranteed to be worth $10,000 before the child becomes of age. Twins, of course get two chances. "Gentlemen of the dury," said counsel in an agricultural case, "there were thirty-six hogs in that lot-thirty-six. I want you to re member that number-thirty-six hogs. Just three times the number that arc in the jury box." Mobnnc Harris, eighteen years old, was run down and killed by a loco motive while standing on the Rich mond it Danville Railroad track at Charlotte on Friday.

"Jake," he called out, ?Jake Dor ridge, how are you ?" "Why, laws a massy, how-do-doV | I hain't see.ye since thc wah." They chatted for a few minutes. "Do you come up hore often, Jake?"

"Ginoral Young, thoy's all so 1)ooty it is hard to make a choice, mt still I am forced to say that the ono with the yeller bel ly band is a lectho the trimmest." There was a scream, a flutter of white dresses, and throe blushing young ladios, with various colored sashes, dashed in the hotel and out of sight.

TlIK OWNKUSIUP OF I/ETTKUS.-A judicial decision recently given laid it down that a letter belongs to the sender until the time it is delivered to the addressee. Tho French pos tal oftioinls had recently to take ad vantage of this statement of tho law, An artist on a visit to America ad dressed a letter to a Parisian stock broker with a remittance of .25,000 francs. Afterward, learning that the stock-broker had become insol vent, the artist transmitted a mes sage through thc French consular agent ut Paris, requesting that tho letter should be stopped, and its de livery was effectually prevented.
