BARDRICK, As it is the right and duty of every man so direct his energies as to support himself and his family, and to make their interests para-mounts so it is the right and duty of a nation to care for its own people, and legislate for their best interests as a whole.

This fact should be considered in connection 'with the other extraordinary one that English statesman freely express the opinion that no act of parliament could be passed which would bring one-tenth part of the relief to English industries that the pas-of the Mills bIH would. English lords looking to the free traders of the United States to legislate in England's interest! How does the picture strike you, voters? Toledo Blade. When Tobey, the democratic candidate for Congressman from this district, was speaking at Vermillion, he made some false aspersions about the republican party, and republican asked him for his authority for the statement, lie replied that he had the proof at the hotel and would be glad to show it to the republican at the close of the meeting. When meeting was ended the two slarted for the hotel to see "the proof," and the republican invited Charley Haskatt, a leading democrat, to go along'as p. witness.

When they had got about half way to the hotel Tobey said, "The fact is, I have not got the proof of those statements, but I have got a good bottle of whiskey at the hotel." That is all the proof he needs to make any kind of a statement. Marshell Countv News. Henry Ilart, the union labor candidate for congress from this district, fed a small audience on sweetened wind last week. He made some very strong and truthful statements but they were when he read from Senator Plunib'b speech in congress on the 4th of last April and from Frank Betton's labor report, both giving good republican doctrine, from good republican sources. In fact if you take out of the t.ilji'of the union labor speakers the ideas advocated by the republican party you have left a lot of wind swept foam of sugary froth, bright bubbles filled with air.

If the leaders of this party would throw away their aerated nonsense and nominate good men for office, instead of blatherskites and money sharks thc would make more headway but then they would be republicans. Republicans love purity, progress and protec tion and hate anarchy, atheism arrogance. The great body of the republican party are toilers, workers with brain and brawn. They oppose a.11 forms of wrong and oppression, but despise croakers and chronic kickers. This is a republican year too, and the toilers will come out on top.

The Oberlin Eye. REPUBLICAN SEEFKSiSiilS'XATJ VE Convention. There will be a delegate convention of the Republicans of the 75th Representative District of the state of Kansas, held at Ames, Kansas, on. Tuesday, October 9 th, 1888, at 10 o'clock a. m.

to nominate a candidate for Representative of said District. The various townships will be entitled to the following 'number of delegates, viz: Elk S. Lawrence N- Lawience Center N. Shirley S. Shirley 11, Starr -9, ,2, Oakland 4, 3, 4, 5, Golfax 4, 3, Aurora 4, 3, Meredith 4.

We Are Going to Stay! This is jvhat the wicked Messen- eer man savs: When Judge John Martin shakes a whiskey bottle before a Democratic audience, they mistake it for the party platform and go wild with The wheat market keeps climbr up and of course this will effect the prices of flour accordingly. The principal cause is the partial failure of the wheat crop over the entire world, with the exception of Russia and Bulgaria. France us ally has wheat for its own use but this year it will have to purchase about 70,000,000 bushels. All of the countries of Europe will have to purchase wheat excepting Russia and Bulgaria. The United States will have only about 30,000,000 bushels to spare.

The world does not look as Iovt ly to the union labor party as it did two weeks ago. The republicans have waited patiently and given them a chance to do their work and they have done it as much at least as they will ever do. The statements which have been made by them in regard to the republican party are being met and answered every day by republican speakers along the entire line. The great mass of republicans are just as honest and intelligent as any union laborer could wish and they have principles which they believe to be right and have formulated them in a national and state platform which they propose to stand by and defend with all the energy and skill at their command. The republican party has created a system that'makes it possible for every man and woman to secure a good education.

Under democratic rule before the war and especially in the south, now the backbone of the democratic party, none but the rich could obtain an education. The "poor white trash" and "niggers" did need any so the democratic statesman of democracy thought. Now the democratic party, the ghost of the old party, tells how it has befriended the "poor s'hite trash" and loves the "niggers," tQ catch votes of course. The Clay Center Daily Time's light has flickered out. For over two years its meteor like brilliancy flashed through the newspaper circles each day, which added a warm color to that constellation.

Where it was, now there is darkness. Dust thou art and to a weekly thou returneth. No more will the editors burn midnight oil and chew strong tobacco in preparing editorials for the morrow. No more will they dream of the glaring headlines that would fill the oldest inhabitant with amazement. Vanity, all is vanity, so saith a majority of the editors of daily newspapers in small towns.

We miss you in ons miser-ble den. Farewell and farewell. The wild, unconditional and abusive language with hints at resorting to arms and bombs by some union labor disciples, does not have a tendency to win them many votes among honest, law abiding people. The ballot box is given to every man for the purpose of correcting the mistakes of legislation and removing impediments to the happiness of the people. When we hear a man ranting after this manner we conclude at once that he is a coward and if he ever took up arms Jkr any purpose it would be as a low, sneaking assassin, not as a soldier.

We have the proper respect for the honest industrious portion of the labor party, but none for the portion who wear put their pants on goods boxes making treasonable utterances toward their country and fellow man. C. B. Hoffman certainly hag an explanation to made of the following in the "United States Miller," Milwaukee, Jan. 1, 1888.

"Don't know much about the National Millers'" Association, but think it could be made of vast benefit. In the matter of reform would say there are entirely too many mills. If the business could be pooled one-half the mills shut up the balance would earn a fair percentage. Somebody has to go the wall, and if no strong, close corporations are formed, the slaughter will be indiscriminate otherwise systematic. Every other large bus-ines is monopolized.

Rodger Q. Mills, author of the Mills bill had to return to Texas to look after his re-election as it look-as though he would be defeated. J. II. Randall of the Chicago Express is making campaign speeches for the union labor party in Kansas.

It seems as though the labor party has chosen Kansas as their battle ground this year. James O. Blaine made a speech at Detroit Michigan on the 3rd inst to an audience of six thousand people. Great enthusiasm prevailed. It was reported that only half of the multitude could get inside of the building to hear the speech.

A Republican Senate believes in a reduction on sugar and a moderate tariff on wool. A Democratic house belives in free wool and a high tariff on sugar. The people will not swallow a bill like Mills', full of imperfections and sectional in its nature. The Concordia Blade howls like a. whipped cur about the cou-t house ring.

When it had its nose in the public crib and lapped up the county printing, the ring had the right eino to it, but, a as! somebody else sips the sweets dished out by the county commissioners, hence the Blade's spasms.

A better selection could not have been made. mot mineral land, 14,209 were commuted homestead entries, 2.385 were original and final entries under the desert land act, and 150 were sales of coal lands. Sales of timber and stone land aggregated 2,420 entries, nearly all of which were made in California.

The reports will show that the whole number of entries of all classes, including Indian lands, made during the year was 255,119, embracing acses. The total receipts from the foregoing were $13,522,185. Of the whole number of entries, 46,236 were original homesteads, embracing 3,1 acres, and 24,472 timber culture entries, having in all an erea of 3,733,305 acres. During the year the land grant railroads made embracing 6,525,301 acres. Under the school, swam land and other grants by the government to the several States Territories, 8,029 selections were made, covering an erea of 1,265,452 acres.

In addition to the acres entered under the various public land laws during the year, the area of commuted homesteads, final desert entries, final homesteads and iinal timber culture entries ag-gregated 5,647,543 acres. FBG31 A DA 51 rJFO STHEEXEK. Manhattan Republic. Last evening a large audience, nearly filling Kimble's hall, assembled to hear the new gospel of political regeneration expounded by Messrs. Frybarger and Hoffman.

The first named gentleman talked for an hour and ranged oyer the wliole extent oi human experience and human history. Babylon and Greece, Carthage, Rome and Egypt to his rapt soul were filled with examples of monopolistic horrors, and by an exceedingly flimsy chain of argument he bound the United States to the same fate which overtook the ancients, and that at no distant day, Mr. Frybarger is not an orator, not a statesman, not a scholar, and hardly a man of sense. He does not make his case half as good as he might, but he has learned to call everybody else liars with an ease and vigor that would call out the warmest praises of the late Rev. Brooks.

The following are some of the chunks of wisdom "hard facts" which he hurled at us poor sinners of the old parties: "You have been our teachers, you have taught us to lie if we do lie, you have taught us to consider the Peclaration of Independence a lie and a sham. We stand alone, independent of the vile trammels of tle old parties, on a plane above you all, on a level with the authors of the Declaration of Independence. We have learned that monarchies are npt free governments, and that the form of monarchical tyranny resided in their money kings, ana wre here in the United States are now in the grip of tyranny worse than that of old Rome or the Czar, namely our millionaires. When Egypt fell in ruin ninety-seven per cent of her property was owned by three per cent of her people, In the United States to-day seventy-eight per cent of our people do not own their homes." This is a fair sample of the whole speech, incoherent and 'illogical from a to izzard. But then one poor man couldn't be expected to give his audience a compendium of human history from Adam to Street-er and build a new political system in an hour.

The party Frybarger talks for holds some fair ideas, but if its friends want those ideas adopted to any great extent, they had better call Frybarger in. As a de bater he ia not a brilliant success, ijiaim: at tofeka. An Interesting Speecli. oil tlie Sufferings of asen at An-v dersonvHIe. We reprint the following from the National Tribune's account of the old Soldiers reunion at Topeka three years ago: "At the meeting of the Association of ex-Prisoners of War, held at Topeka, Kansas, in connection with the soldiers' Reunion, Mr.

Blaine spoke with more than his usual im-pressiveness. He began by saying he thought the man in the late war whose sacrifice was the greatest was the one who was taken prisoner and forced to serve a term in a rebel prison pen. The history of all wars is that the keenest anguish was suffered by those who were unfortunate enough to fall into the rands of the enemy. Our forefath-rs of the Revolution were treated, hen prisoners of war, with a cru-Uy which seems strange at this lay. The English prison ship in New York Bay was an English An-dersonville.

Boston Corbett. It wasn't seventeen acres in extent, thouo-h. Mr. Blaine. No; nor was it so bad in any way as Andersonville.

The English floating prison was afterward burned by representatives of our Government, and here I wish to say a word in favor of the rebel authorities, which was that they haste to wipe out all evidences of Andersonville, and I am informed that but slight traces of the infamous place remain. It is to their credit that they strove to erase 'all traces of this place; but the fact stands that they cannot wipe out the memory of it. Every prisoner in a rebel pen should have a personal memoir written down and placed in the State Historical Society; for I suppose you have one. in Kansas for safe keeping. This should be that men will know that these memories are not to be forgot ton.

The soldier in war is always a great sufferer, even if not captured by the enemy. Of all the sad fates which befall a man in it, is that which subjects him to die in an enemy's prison before he learns the result of the contest he is waging. lo me, a survivor of Ander sonville is a miracle. We have a record of that infamous pen, and in great part we arp'indehtcd to Gen. Shanks, of Indiana, who was instru.

mental in having the Congressional Inquiry Committf adpointed, which gave the world at least a partial history "of it. The English language does not record a parallel to the history of the sufferings of our men there. What made Andersonville appear so bad in the eyes of the world is that the North always treated its prisoners humanly. The civilization of the nineteenth ccn, tury had obtained with our Government. No man who was in the rebel army and was incarcerated in a Northern prison can say that his rations were ever shortened; that he was even maltreated or had clothing denied him.

We did right in not retaliating pn their prison, but should have wreaked vengeance upon the authors" of the sufferings of our boys. There was no justification for this rebel cruelty. Our first great strength was physical, in putting down rebellion; our second, moral in the forgiveness of those who had fought against preservation of the Union. Those who fought the battles for preservation of the country have now the pleasure of witnessing a betterleeb ing prevailing between the North and South than has been known since the beginning of the slavery agitation in 1820. We all know now that the war has done its perfect work.

We can forgive if we cannot forget." Mi 1 imuuMii Will Continue to SsII Groceries at REASONABLE PRICES Buy your Groceries of us and Save Money. J.
