By far butter wait till fall when we can take time to circulate a. new petition and do our work according to the law. Go down to the Solomon the 28th and demand your right to vole there whether you wish to vote for or against the bonds.

About the weather: I believe this is the dryest part of the county. Just here head of Big Timber we have had but one good rain this spring. Corn is withering up in tome patches, and whole fields "roll" more or less iu the heat of the day. It has come very unevenly, and, so far as I know, people arc replanting more or less. Small grain very, very light.

1 am anxious to hear from south half of Otter creek. We fear they are badly cut up by the hail. Last evening a heavy storm raged oyer there, whose roaring I heard here for sometime. It barely reached here, doing no appreciable damage, yet hail stones, limited quantity, averaged as large as filberts, many as large black walnuts, all jagged and fantastic in shape. D.

E. Stevens. Head of East Otter Creek, June 18th. Ed. Advance: I would like to say something about the influence- and power of railroads.

Firstlj-, I will make this statement, that corporations have taken the place of the old farm robbers, and though they do their work not so openly yet they do it not less effectually, and communities are ju6t as much at their mercy as eyer the serfs of the middle ages were at the mercy of the feudal lords. Could anything but tho consciousness of possessing autocratic power, that could Hot be resisted induce the representative of the New York Central to use the following language before the assembly committee on railroads. "If man comes to the New York Central railroad and Wants to establish a special line of business at any point on our road we say to him, Go there, put in your money, build up your enterprise, we will protect you and give you a rate bv which you can live." Eemember that the New York Central is owned and controlled by Van-derbilt. Here we have one man saying to all the people of the cities in the state of New York through which his railroad runs, "I will protect you and see that you' prosper, providing you do my bidding; fail to carry out my wishes and I will wither up your industries and bring ruin to your doors. No potentate in Europe exercises a uiore despotic power thau this man virtually every town, village and hamlet along his railroad is depend ent on him for success in their pur 6uits.

The more we examine the nature of the power possessed by railroad cer-porations the more are we impressed with the belief that it is antagonistic to a republican form of government, Not only is this true of the New York Central but of air monopolies. Now I would ask those that are in favor of railroad bonds if they think by voting bonds that it will help to settle up your township I answer, no. Why? Because the intelligent emigrant will say, "Too much taxes here; I like your railroad but not your extra three or four per cent taxes. A few days ago I received a letter from one G. W.

Page in Clay county, Nebraska, an intelligent and infiuen tial manasking me for a description of our county, also if our county was bonded, if so for what purpose? So you can see that men with means and good brains. are not going to locate with us, but will go into other localities. sometimes area benefit to a country. We are all poor and just commencing to live we have just passed through a dreadful drouth and many of us are not much better ofF fir crops this year than we were last year. Here in this county many of os have been almost at starvation's door; yet you propose to' plunge yourselves and those that come after you into a thirty year obligation that will amount to over $37,000, interest and principal.

How do you propose to meet this sum? -Your answer would be by taxes. Granted. Now you will have to raise your rate of assessment to raise the necessary sum to meet the interest on your bonds of $10,000. The railroad will be built that is a settled fact. Then why do you want to burden yourselves with such a large debt But says one, of Edmond, we want a depot.

Oh, it is the town of Edmond that wants to be benefitted i3 it Then why not let the town bnild the depot for the western king and poor man, Mr. Gould Do you not know that if the road wouldn't pay that he would not build it if you would give him $20,000 in bonds. Don't misunderstand my sentiments, my voice is not raised against the people of Edmond', or Solomon township, but against railroad monopolies. What does Mr. Gould care for your drouth-stricken township.

Fellow citizens, wake up to a sense of your duty to yourselves your neigh in LUMBER YARD and justice. It seems to me but yes terday that slavery and freedom were grappling in deadly conflict. Today corporate monoply and the rights of labor are challenging each other to battle. Slavery was recognized by the constitution and sustained by congress and the executive and judiciary. Corporate monopolies with special privileges are unconstitutional though they do enjoy legislative sanction and protection.

What the people should do, what they very soon will do, is to elect a congress of the nation and a legislature of the several states which will repeal all monopoly laws and in their stead pass laws which shall restore to the people the control of the currency and of all public highways whether common wagon roads or railroads. Monopoly is a relic of barbarism, abolish it by legislation at the demand of a people who have an of their rights, and tho nation leaps at once to the lofty plain of a true civilization, foster it for a decade longer and the last vestige of freedom and equal rights will have disappeared from the continent and naught but bloody revolution can save ns from a despotism more terrible than any that now exists on the continent of Europe. These railroad corporations are distinctively the creatures of law. They have been brought into existence, have been nourished and fed by law till they hayo become so strong that they arrogantly assume to control all legislation, using it as a to make the interests of all classes subservient to their special interests. Such is monopolies.

I. W. Green. CHEESE MAN June 20th. Since we haven't heard from this corner for somo time we wish to pen youafew items, but hardly know what to say to make it prove interesting to the readers of your valuable paper.

We aro having a very dry epell at present, grain that two weeks ago bid fair for a good crop is damaged considerable not alone by the drouth but we understand the chintz bugs are very plentiful in soma pieces although there will be considerable wheat harvested here, which will be commenced this week. Our young miller Al II. Wallace has shut down the mill and gone to Iowa to visit friends ho expects to return in time to grind his share of the present crop which, he is competent of doing. One word to the Observer in regard to ash seed, I have planted ash but once and that was in the 6pring but none came up. I have planted box-elder three times in the spring and but very few came up.

I am satisfied in my own mind that the fall i9 the time to plant, as soon as the seed gets ripe. There is plenty of seed this year and they seem to be good so look out you timber men and get seed while they are plenty. I always thought that ash was a very slow growth but find I am somewhat mis taken, I planted some trees taken up from the river which seem to grow very fast and make a pretty tree for shade or ornament in the yard. A short time ago I wrote a few lines in regard to yarn spinners. I gained my object in doing so, and the parties referred to, found out that we were about to get sufficient evidence to put some of them behind the grates hurried the ring leader to Logan and ship east to parts unknown.

Since the parties have shown their guilt by so doing and we can't find a single person that believes the rumor or thinks any the moro of them, we propose to drop the subject right here provided they fasten their tongues at least at one end and speak only when they can Bpeak the truth. If they utter another word of the rumor, I want them to understand the penitentiary is open and ready to receive such. Well, enough, we hope they will bury the hatchet, and try and be somebody. Mr. Editor, we hope you will publish the item and charge the same to my account as I think it will be a ben-ifit to our neighborhood.

G. N. ClIEESKHAN. ALMENA. June 18th.

Rain all around us again and only a slight shower here; it is getting dust-ty, a cloud follows the cultivator. The corn is not suffering much for rain, but the chintz bugs are getting away with the wheat. Bugs, bugs, bugs, nothing but bugs, for everything that grows. There is four kinds on the potatos besides a great green worm. Mr.

McVey had the 'misfortune to lose one of his Wednesday night and it i3 a great loss now, every one is so busy it is almost impossible to replace 'it. Mr. G. W. Bickford and wife from Phillipsburg have been visiting at McVey's, Johnson's, and Hall's.

He is buying cattle and hogs. Most of the farmers are about thro' I Mr. Fox and wife from the Island visited at J. Hall's the 15th. Preaching at-the Umena school house every two weekB at 11 o'clock.

M. W. J. OTTER CHEEK. June 16 th.

Olin and Johnnie Fross have gone to work on the railroad west of Logan, it being too dry to break at home. Geo. Lyon's have had the pleiaure of a visit from eastern relatives the past few days. They are much pleased with the country out this wav. Cern is growing fast this warm weather, only needing rain to help it along.

We are pleased to see that there aro some people in this county who know how to plant corn with a hand planter. We propose a trial of muscle next spring and the one planting the most corn in a certain number of hours to be recorded, champion in the Advance. used to think we could plant a little, and guess we can beat any time yet heard of by us, but wecould tell by trying. If you want to pay 20 an acre if we beat or nothing if we don't, you can have some corn planted this spring or next by writing to W. F.

Gormley, Norton, Kansas. We are sorry our minister, Rev. Brittian, is going to leave us, we all like him for preacher over this way. But some other place will gain what we have had, a genuine christian. Tho next time we write we will take a little moro tim to get something interesting.

Last tv'eek the Advance introduced the subject of primary elections instead of the convention system. Since 'that time conversations have been had with a great many and all favor a change. In the course of a short talk with Pettlgrew, chairman of the county central committee, ho said he 'thought the plan perfectly fair to all parties; he had never seen it tried, but had heard that It did not work to suit all, but he would not object to giving it a chauce here. The system would not suit all, to bo sure. No system would dq that.

But fn several couuties in winch it is now in operation it i3 giving the utmost satisfaction to the masses. The Larnard Chronoscopc says of it: The Crawford county system has been tried in Shawnee and several other counties in this state by the republicans and proved highly satisfactory. In fact, bolting is unknown where this system has been in practical operation. The convention system is unsatisfactory because the defeated party always raises the claim of defeat by unfair means. Under the Crawford county system the republican voter deposits his ballot for the man of his choice and there can be no claim of unfairness set up, and besides tha party passes upon the claims of the several aspirants at the ballot-box.

"We commend this system to the careful consideratien of the county central committee. There would be no harm resulting from its trial in this county. The republican central committee of Trego county met on the 14th iust. From the World's account of the proceedings we clip the following "The Crawford county system of nominating county officers was unan- imously adopted, and It was IIE30LVED, That two judges and one clerk shall preside at the election in each township, whose functions ahall be the same as those of these officers at general elections, and that, in case of men applying to voto whose political faith is considered doubttul, these officers shall require each of such men to declare tuat. he will support the republican ticket as a condition of his being permitted to vote at such primary election.

It was decided that the primary elections in each township, for the purpose of nominating county officers, bo held on the last Saturday in The polls of the primary election in each township will be opened at 10 o'clock a. and closed at 7. p. m. lieturns of the election in each township will be made to the county central committee at WaKceney, at 12 Wodnaadfty immediately follawingf the primary election.

'own 4, Eange 22, June 18th. I am too -busy to find time for necessary rest or writing, but I take time this morning, for I wish to say a few more words in regard to the commissioners granting our petition for a township. It will be remembered that at the April meeting our petition was laid over till the July meeting, "so as not to inferfere with the assessment," etc. Firstly, This action of the board a month after the approval, MarSh 5th, of the specifying their duties in the formation of new townships. Were they of that law If so, they were and are culpable! They should keep on file in the clerk's office the official paper of the state, in which each session's laws are published.

Secondly, If it was necessary to lay that petition over till the July meeting, where was the necessity of calling a special session to grant that petitiou? "Oh, the ways that are dark and the tricks that are vain." I think there are two men in the county Noah "Weaver and myself that can answer that last question so as to dispose of that part of town four onibra'ccd in Solomon precinct so that they of the Solomon would have a sure thing on the 'bonds. To the citi-zens of the and of town four particularly, let me 6ay that in the granting of that petition there is prima facia evidence that they had no thought or consideration whatever of our interests, but solely for Solomon precinct. I beg pardon, I should have said the interest in my opinion of Noah Weaver, Win. Grant, et al I There you have it. Put it in your pipe and 6moke it.

Thirdly, They claim that the granting of our petition at that session was j.koai, because it was "unfinished" That claim falls to the ground because their first action on it was not taken till after the above law referred to was approved. But admitting that it was unfinished business, we claim that thev should have "finished'' it according to law Let me ask Mr. Shoemaker if he will inform us through the Advance whether the board keeps the official state paper on file in his office To the citizens of town four: Don't organize. Just as sure as you do it will give the minority whoever or ivhitever it may be cause for All argument to the contrary is Proprietor. OODS.
