Representative Peirce has been called from Washington to hie home in Crawfordsville by the seriou3 illness of his son.

On Wednesday last the republicans of Parkersbarg, West Virginia, elected their ticket. Heretofsre the city has been democcatic.

The smallpox ia still on the increase. The well-known siDger, Caroline Riching* Bernard is eeriovsly ill with the disease at her home in Richmond, Virginia.

Thus far Washington city has escaped the smallpox, but the plague of office eeekers, with which it has been for some time afflicted a much greater calamity to thosT who have to bear the infliction.

The Tennessee republicans who want office, and they are as numerous as in other portions of the country, are having^ a lively fight over the various appointment* soon to be made in that stnte.

The grave and reverend senators in Washington would like a law allowing each a clerk at $1,200'per annnm, but thev have not the courage to pass a law of that kind. It has too much of a salary grab appearance.

It begins to look very much as though delays are going to be very dangerous to Mr. Sargent's prospects of a cabinet position. It is now thought that if a change is made in the interior department exSenator Chafifae, of Colo rodo, will be the man.

The contested election cases will not be reached for some time yet. The government printing office is the cause of the delay. That institution has more business on hand at the present time than can be put in print for a long time to come.

The appropriation of $540,000, asked by General Walker, and agreed to by the appropriation committee, to meet the deficiency in the census bateau, will only meet it half way, it is said, and before the work is complsted a sum quite as large will be required.

The 8nb-committee on tariff revision is expected to. report favorably on the Morrill tariff commission biH, and the subs commiitee on internal revenue will probably report a bill providing for the abelition of the minor taxes and a reduction of the larger imposts.

Senator Brown declines to be the Mahone of Georgia. He says he is not an independent, but a liberal democrat, and that he will vote the democratic ticket from the present time on until 1884, at least. The independents will, consequent ]y, have to go elsewhere for A MO&J to lead them to the promised land.

A Scotchman named Beaumont sailed from Norway last June for this country in a small boat twenty-eight feet long, with a single mast, upon which were rigged a square sail and a jib, and provisioned for two months. He was a month in reaching Cork, by which timfe he felt so lonely that he put into port to secure sailor. With his companion he put to sea again in August, eince which time nothing has been heard of them, so there can be no doubt they have perished.

The Burbridge-Blackburn controversy seems to have been intended for a purpose. Bnrbridge's name has been presented to the president by a delegation ot Kentucky republicans for appointment to a foreign mission. He claims to represent the stalwart element. Congressman White, the only republican of whom Kentucky can boast in congress, refuses to vouch for him, because he claims that Burbridge has been so long in the east in search of office that he has loet all claim to being a Kentnckian.

It appears that when the territoiy which is now the state of Illinois belecged to France, a grant of 92,160 acred of Jand was made by that government to a seminary at Quebec, Canada. The grant nas never administered, bat Bt»hop Bate*, of Alton, Illinois, has been appointed for that purpose. As there is now no land iu that state which can be used to carry out the terms of ££e grant, Congressman Thomas has introduced a bill which provides for an issue of Bcrip to the amount stated, to be located on any pnbli$ lands in the United States.

A WOKDERFCl. BILL.

Hon. John D. White represents the ninth congressional district of Kentucky in the national house of representative*. He haa the distinction of bfeirig the only kvpubliban in feongress from hie state. Mr. White is also a reformor in his way. He recognises the importance of rescuing suffering humanity from the clutches of the demon alcohol, and, with that object in view, has introduced a bill which be elyles "an ect to lessen crime and human suffering from alcoholism by restricting the use of distilled'spirits to scientific, mechanical and medicinal parposes." This wonderful production reads as follows: «*s iff

Whereas, ThVlnJiirtoua effects from tho nee as a beverage of Intoxicating lienors are universally admitted and

Whereas, Spirituous liquors are powerful In-struments-for evil and con option in onrelections and

Whereas, The unbridled traffic In spirituous liquors promotes contentious riots, Ignorance, and poverty and

Whereas, The Iniquity of alcoholism is visited through the parent upon the third and fourth generations and

Whereas, The effects of alcoholism are filling our prisons, houses of correction, and institutions of charity with criminals and sufferers, and covering the land with woe and misery therefore

Be it enacted

the senate and house of repre

sentatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled, that on and after the 80th day of Jnne, 1882.no person shall produce that substance known as ethyl, alcohol, hyd rated oxide of ethyl, or spirit of wine, at any other Intoxicating liquor which can be produced by the fermentation ot grain, starch, molasses, or sugar, including all dilutions and mixtures of this substance. Nor shall any intoxicating liquors of any description whatever be imported Into the United States after the passage of this act.

SEC. 2. That the secretary of the treasury shall Immediately alter the passage of this act advertise in twenty prominent newspapers, printed in as many cities in the United States, for proposals for citizens of the United States to manufacture distilled spirits for scientific, mechanical, and medicinal purposes, and to be sold as nearly as may be at the cost pricfc for scientific, mpphnnical, and medicinal purposes alone, under such regulations as the secretary of the treasury may from time to time direct.

Sic. 3 That the advertisement published tin der the preceding section must describe the kind of spirits required and must require the proposals to be accompanied with sufficient security for their performance.

Src. 4. Tnat the secretary of the treasury

shall, by

the 30th day of June, 1882, notify the

lowest bidder whose sureties are deemed sufficient, of the acceptance of his proposals. SEC. 5. That nothing in the preceding sections shall prevent the secretary of the treasury from contracting from time tti time fMRKh. distilled spirits as may be necessary to qHglie demands for scientific, mechanical, ana medicinal purposes.

SEC.6. That nothing In the preceding section be construed so as to limit the time of any license for the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors, whieh is at present operating, provided that no extension of time nor any new license shall be hereafter granted for the sale of any Intoxicating liquors. -.

That a republic A ebould champion emperance views is not to be wondered at, but that such a bill should emanate from Kentucky, the land of bourbon whiskey, is, to s»y the least, astonishing. The passage of such a bill would be depriving the states of their rights with a vengeance, and would have to be followed by a number of explanatory acts. There would have to be a bill defining science another defining mechanics, and still an other explaining minutely those medicinal purposes for which alcohol may be used. Iticu ogctu tlic otnuUmU ~vf the BICOUOl for each particular purpose would have to be regulated with a nicety and skill peculiar to congressmen only, after which it should be in order to define the various classes of. teen who are entitled to supplies of the ardent under the various provisions of the bill. The only feature of the act which is at all likely to meet with any favor in the eyes of the old toper is that which prescribes for the sale of the liquor as nearly as may be at the oeet price." He would not object to accepting it free. It would, however, be some consolation to the gt'and army of drunkards to know that they are legally on tbe tosd to perdition, and that they are making the journey under the supervision of the most approved rules of science, mechanics aad taedicine.

Scientific," mechanical and medicinal drunkards would be novelties for a time, and as such would attract widespread attention.

IMPORTANCE OF YACCIKAT10N. By reference to the local columns it will be seen that the board of health iB going to recommend to all the business men of this city who employ workmen that they hare their employes vaccinated. The same recommendation will ALBO be made to the city officials who have charge of the police and fire departments. This is right and should secure prompt action. The impottattCfe St ttie matter cannot be tftefesthnated. In relation to those who object to it on the ground that they have been cnce successfully vaccinated, we would say Whether the pro tective power of vaccination lasts Ihrobgb life, or, as many physitiatw hold, gradually wears out ta a certain humber tot years, is still an open question. It is, however, the safer (coarse to adopt the second view-, and to revaccinate at intervals (every seven years, for instance) especially when it ia known that the operation is often performed in a very imperfect manner.

It is a settled fact that Successful VaC1 cination is an absolute preventive of smallpox. Even ia localities where the disease exists its progress Can be speedily arrested if the operation is performed on those not affected with it. This being the case, it is a wonder that vaccination is not made compulsory, as it is in England. The Indianapolis' Journal of yesterday contained a valuable editorial on the subject, from which it quoted the following from Dr. Stjre, an eminent physician of New York, who favors compulsory vaccination "In 1827 malignant and fatal epidemic of smallpox reigned in Philadelphia, and tbe statistic? prove that but one single death occurred, so far as the knowledge of the board of health doctors extended, among 80,000 vaccinated persons. Out of 248 cases of variola and varioloid treated at the smallpox hospital, 165 were unprotected by vaccination,'of whom eightyfive diet* nine were innoculated, of whom three died, and sixty-three had been vaccinated, of whom but 1 died. Ia Copenhagen, bttween the years 1825 and 1827, an epidemic of small pox raged. Great numberd were vaccinated, and oat of those 428 were attacked with the disease. In 26 of the attached the genuine

.-•

symptoms of variola were evinced, but only 2 of them died. Going tackto 1801, from that year to. 1822, In HoMein, ^234^S5^persoas were subjected to vaccination, and during all thatjperiod and for two years subsequently, only t*ocas« oHmall pox appeared. During the Same period, in Denmark, only sue person out of 447,000 vaccinated was attacked, and that by modified variola, thus showing that in a population of 682,564, with,tbe exception of three cases, the dicease wasentirely exterminated for twenty-three tears. Previous to the use rof Vaccination there died in Westphalia annually, during the years from 1776 tp 1780, of smallpox, 2,643 persons out of^every .million population, and for thirty-five*"years, from 1816 to 1850 (after vaccination was adopted), the annual death rette from smallpox was only 114 out- of every million. In Copenhagen

vaccination

reduced the

annual death rate from 3,128 out of every million to 287. In Berlin, from 3,422 to 876. In Sweden, frcnt 2,050 to 158. Gronping the populations ofi different countries, the fltaiifitica show that prior to

vaccitiatjpE

the aggregate annual

death rate from. Sin all pok in a population of 22,000,000 was $2,861, and that vsccin ation reduced-it to 7,403. The small pox mortality in the British army has, reached a -fourth, nor

that

the

vaccination

navy a

third, cf the mortality in London, because

ia more genvral

the

army and navy than among the popula tion of the city." "^ith such an array of facts staring them in the face it is a,difficult"matter to see how any person can fee so foolish as to object to vaccination, and where such a case is found he or abe ehould be com pelled to Bubmit aa a matter of protection to the community at large.

The Guiteau trial.dragged along slowly again yesteiday. D&vidge continued bis argument, being frequently interrupted by the RFeaesin, and once by MrB. £vville, who denounced eome statementa paade in a very vehement manner.

TOPEKA,

Defc. 13,18

'GVoryt Scott, Witness" Office, 2?ew York City:

MY DEAB SIR:—Have just received your letter of the 6th instant^, enclosing clipping from the Post, which says! "Ex-Governor Robinson of Kansas, a prominent tempsraDce man, in reply to inquiries respecting the prohibitory law in that State, Bays that the prohibitory amendment to the State Constitution is a mistake, and th.at drinking is^ihore common how in Kansas than ever before he Quotes leachrig newspapers and letters to sustain his position."

In 1876 when the prohibitory amendment was under consideration by the State Legislature, ex-Governor Robinson was a member of the Senate of Kansas, and voted for the submission of the question to the electors at the November election in 1880. For several months succeeding the action cf the Legislature nothing was heard from Governor Robinson in relation to the measure. After tbe campaign was fairly opened notwithstanding the Governor's vote"in favor of the proposition in the Senate, he came to the front as one of the most active and untiring opponents cf prohibition, and was at once the acknowledged champion, of licensed dramshop?, and'hia course was enthusiastically endorsed and cheered by every distiller, brewer and saloon keeper in Kansas. If he fa known in tbe State as a prominent temperance man," I am not aware of the fact. He has never at at any time during the great struggle with tbe Whicky Ring in-Kansas, for five years past, affiliated with the temperance workers of the State, although he claims to oppose prohibition .from a temperance stand-point. Hir Telation to the cause of temperance in Karssts is very similar •to that of the Copperhead to the cause oi tbe ynioo daring tbe war.

records ot the Police Court in the city of Lawrence, near which he resides, he would have f»und that the last five months under the license system furnished 214 cssea fe tfe at tribunal, against only 109 the first •five Rionths under prohibition.: The city of Newton, in

Harvey

County, Containing

about 3,000 papulation, had not a single ease of drunkenness in the Police C-iurt from the first of May (being the date that the prohibitory law took effect) until the first day of October and tbe District Court that convened there about that time, for the first time iu tho history of the 'county, found, not & single criminal ase upon the docket. ......

Emporia, situated in Lyon fconnty, and containing about 6,000 population, had, during the last year, upder the license svstem, 229 cases in the. Police Court, against only forty-three cases in the first seren months of prohibition, and I am informed that tbe tax levy in that city this-year ia lees than it was during the period of licensed dram-shops. Winfietd, in Cowley county, with at least_ 3,000 population, had twenty-one convictions in.the Police Court for drunkenness daring the last five months ol license, against only three the first five months of prohibition. Independence, in Montgomery county, With about th.e,same population, l.ad eighteen cases in the Police Court tiie last five months of license, against five cartes the drat Eve months of prohibition Pareons, in Labette jaunty, with a population of 5,000, had forty-seven cases the last five months of license, against enly ten tbe first five months of prohibition.

McPherson, containing about 2,000 population, bad forty-eight cases in tbe Police Court the last ten months of license (tbe only period of licensed dram shops they have ever had in the county, notwithstanding., it. has been organised over ten years)j agalnst only four cases the first seven months.and eighteen days of prohibition.

I have before we,a statement signed by all the city officers of the city of Oiathe, in Johnson county, setting forth that, under prohibition (which has really been in force there eince January 1st, 1878,) the financial and moral condition of this city has greatly improved) the streets and sidewalks are in mack belief condition, tra^e greatly increased, and that with a population of at least 2,500, the- city has no policemen, and needs none, the City Marshal alone performing all of the police duty) which does not require half his timet th t. there ia rarely a aase. in the Police Court, and that tbe calahooee is without inmates. Any proposition looking to a return to the old system would he defeated by .a Vote ol at least two to one. This statement of tbe city officers is endorsed by all. tbe ministers and a large majority of the business men of the cityi and the County Attorney adds that "what ia said of the success of prohibition in tbe city of Oiathe holds good throughout the Cotinty of Johnson."

Under the old license system^ the city script of Oiathe was Worth only from 60 to SO cents on a dollar,, and io* it is at paiy and baohey is in the treasury, to promptly meet every obligation.

In the days of dram-shops there was paid as revenue into the city treasury of Oiathe $2,000 per year $1,500 wis required to build a calaboose, in Whibh to imprison, and futnfeh room for a police court ib which to try drunkards.

Cjttawa, containing about 5,000 population, situated in Franklin County, makes eqaally as good a showing, and the foregoing cities present no better record than may be found in scores of other towns in tbe State. Even in tbe rum cursed cities of Kansas, prohibition has been a blessing,

The last four months under license shows 102 cases for drunkenness in the Leavenworth City Police Court, against only case? the first four months under prohibition. During the bame period in Topeka license furnished 159 cases for drunkenness, against only 92 under prohi-

We ar'ereceiv$is& ah excellent emigration and Kansas was never more prosperous than she is to-day. The assessed valuation for 1S81 of personal property in the State was $10,243,0C0 greater than it was for 1880 under lieenee, ahd a little over $4 ,000,060 greater than any previous year jret.

Tbe first ten months of 1880, under free whisky rule, sent to our State penitentiary 254 convicts, against only 148 the first ten months of 1881, aftef we had adopted our plUhifcitory amendment.

A report is jnst received-from Hon. P. L. Ponebroke, Auditor of State, that patents were issued for $46,332 acres of school land from January 1 to October 1,1880, against 47,621 acres during the same period in 1881.

For every saloon keeper that has left KatisaB 6ti account of prohibition, we have received a sufficient number of rober, industrious, law-abiding citizens to build a school house, and Kansas can afford to exchange saloons for school houses Kansas tna£ have ihadfe

Governor Robinson will poiiit jroli to Atchison, Topeka, Leavenftofth and a few other cities where the law is hourly being violated, as evidence tb*t' inhibition does not prohibit," but he 1... to call your attention to tho fact thi: thefle places are exceptions to the general rule, and feontain ofily About one-twentieth oi thfe population of Kangas, and that id the remainder of th?

result. In the meantime one of our Dis« trict Co arts declared the law unconstitutional. This decision greatly encouraged the rum power and many saloons, especially in the larger cities, were opened that had before this decision been closed.

On the other hand, the friends of temperance hesitated to prosecute violators of the law until the decision of the Supreme Court of our State settled the rights and duties of all parties in due time the decision to which l.have referred reached the Supreme Court, where it was promptly reversed, nd the law held to be constitutional. Now prosecutions are being vigorously pressed, and violators of the law are being convicted and severely punished. In Salina, a rumseller was convicted in the District Court on thirty-three charges, the fines amounting in the aggregate to $3,500 and costs, and thirty days' imprisonment in the County jail. This man is undoubtedly convinced that prohibition is not a failure. Taking into consideration the fact that on tbe soil of Kansas is to-day being fought the battle of prohibition for the Nation, and that in this struggle we have not only to contend with ex Governor Robinson and the whisky sing of tbtB State that so heartily support and applaud him, but thaf large •urns of money are from time to time furnished by tbe distillers, brewers and saloon-keepers throughout the entire country to aid as far as passible to break the force of prohibition in this State (for the ram power realizes that the success of prohibition in Kansas means eventually

overthrow of, the greatest evil that ever fastened itself npen any people), it will be peris that we have made a tery satisfactory degree of progress1. Kansas will never I believe, again be gtiilty of giving the sanction ol law to the traffic in intoxicating liquors and the destruction of human souls. You may rest assured that oar people will faithfully coEtinne the good Ight we ekall take no steps backward we are conscious that we are in the right we know that God IB jaat, and if we but do ew-doty He will bless the homes of Kansas with a glorious and lasting victory, and the rum power will be buried out of sight, and beyond the hope of resurrection.

TflE P0ULTBY SHOW.

The OpeniBK or Firth AnnnaT Show of the Poultry and Pet Stoek Association,

Company opened their Jifln annual exhibition yesterday, and it continues until the 19th instant. It had the finest display of chickens, pigeons, turkeys, caaary birds, deer and dogs that was ever seen in our city, -This year tbe company has succeeded in inducing some of the largest poultry owners to bring their poultry 'to our city and exhibit. They have offered very liberal premiums for exhibitors of all kinds of poultry and pet stock, and their efforts have been re warded and they have now to be seen at their exhibition more fine ponllry than has been seen at any exhibitionin this city.

The display of dogs is very fine, and almost every species of canine is to be seen, from the fine 8ootsh terrier to the "yaller" dog, and from the poodle to the fine Newfoundland.

There is a large cage containing a herd of beautiful deer. In the cellar is to be seen a large trained black beaF) which finds plenty of time to pltty With a litter of bull dog ptips, which are his special playmates.

The display of pigeons is very farget and some of the most beautiful specimens of carrier pigeons ftrh dfa exhibition that ha#e ever bsen in this city

In the poultry display the Kght bramjas, buff cochins, white cochins, black cochins and dark brain ag are the finest that were ever exhibited ib pur state, sothobf which have taken pteinibtbs lb many of the other states in the union. There ia a pair of golden penciled hamburgs that have never failed to take. the. prize where they Were "exhibited, The display of brofra leghorns, white IrghofBPi black Spanish, golden seabright bantams, silver eeabright bantams, is also the subject of much admiration and praise. This display of poultry ia so very large that it is impossible to do it jastic9in one short article, for to be fully appreciated it must be seen and examined.

The arrangements for the display of the pet stock and poultry ari very good. There sie two Jooms^ the store room on the ground door for poultry and the cellar for the dogs and other pet stock, and both rooms are full of stock. This exhibition should be Been by all and the eost is but a trifle.

A Tough Customer.

About eleven o'clock last night Officers Cain and Phillips arrested three men, James Eaton, Pat May and Thomas Montgomery, on Main street, in front of the Marble block. They were drunk, and kicking signs, etc., making considerable disturbance. Officer Cain took Eaton and one of the men, and Officer Phillips took the other. They had gone but a few steps, when Est ton broke away and ran. Officer Phillips turned his man over to Cain-, and started after Eaton. The latter jr&n down Main to Sixth, up Sixth to feherry, and then toward Seventh. About the middle of the square he fell down, and tht officer Tfaa BO ciuse ta him that brforo BS could .stop he also fell. Eatop refused to go with the officer, and the latter was compelled, to use tlie.Jiippers on him. He then C4.me along peaceably until he came in front of White's restaurant, when he resisted, and a tough fight ensued. He« is a much larger man than tbe officer, end gave him a hard scrimmage. The lattter called for help-from the bystanders, but none was offered, and he then blew his

"log

hprn"

for police aid. Officers Conaghan and Demitrg soon put in an appearance, but by this time Phillips had bis man down. While the fight was in progress James Gallaghan, a drunken stranger, interfered with the officer, and hit him in the face. When aid came to hand, Eaton and the other man were locked up on the dual charges of drunkenness and resisting an officcr.

Worthy Deed.

The Express has frequently had occasion to speak of the mis-d^da of Various members of the Gallatin gang,_ and it is no mere than right to speak of a worthy deed done by one of them. Wm Stumpb, who has recently straightened up in an attetnpt to make a map of himself, day before yesterday saw a lady, drop a pocket book on Main street, He picked it up, followed the loser nearly a square, and returned it It is much more worthy of mention when it is stated that the pocket book eontained between $50 *nd $40
