Prohibition in Kansas. .1 In the year 1880 the electors of Kansas voted upon and approved an amendment to the State Constitution in thé following terms : The manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors shall be forever prohibited m this State e^cept for médical, scie^tific and manufacturing purposes. In favor of the amendaient 91,874 votes were poUed, and against it 84,037. In the following year the Législature enacted a prohibitory la wi The Royal Coaimiasion Bnqiiiry. In 1893 the Canadian Royal Commission on the Lïquor Traffic visited several cities of Kansas and examined sixty-five witnesees. They learned that it was difBcult t of the high schools and asked how many of the pupils had never seen a salpon. Out of an attendance of 140 over 100 of their hands went up in answer ; they were young boys and girls who had never seen a saloon. We bave a four weeks term of spécial training for teachers in the summer months ineach county, and I bave asked as many as 140 or 150 teachers at thèse assemblages how many had never seen a saloon, and in answer the majority of hands went up. Tfaùs shows that we bave driven the saloon from the State. * Col.

Preceding the visib ojf the commissioners there had been a créât deal of pohtical excitemerit in Topeka on account of the claims made by rival poHtical parties tb the possession of the machinery of govern- ment. Thousands of meà were congregated from every part of the State. Intense and bittér partisan feelingprevailed. Jn référence to thoconditipn of aflFairs at this crisis, Hon. James A. Troutman, member of the hpuse of représentatives, made the followinrf^tatement : We had in this city for fhree or four days a very Jarge concourse of peo- fû^'i ^.«rreat many of th^m were in an intense state of exèitement, and I think ,t is no exaggreralion to say that thousands of them were armed. This Street from hère to the Stat^ HoUse was crowded with people from ail over the îjtate, haviiig amis and am^unition in their possession. Meetines were held and many .nflammatory st^tements were made, and a good miny people on both s,des were anx.ous to hâve son.e difficulty. But there was a sta e of sobnety prcx'aihng among^ the people ^hat was remarkAle, and I think that it was tha alone which p'revented serions difficulty.
