M. He Hirkd a Max to Watch ms Wife. When a jealous husband hires another man to watch his wife, he should select one who is not likely to knock down and get awav with the domestic persimmon himself. This sare rule did not suggest itself to Mr. O.

B. Hazen, of Bowling, in this State, when he hired George Newcomb to look after Mrs. Hazen. Ou the contrary, George has been looking after Mrs. Hazen with such incessant industry that the husband now cannot find either spouse or hired man gone to joiu the birds of passage.

Mrs. Hazen is the mother of several children, one of whom she has taken with her. A local paper adds to the general scandal by giving currency to the rumor that Hazen had knowledge of the elopement beforehand, and that he actually furnished Newcomb with money in order to facilitate their flight. If this be a true version of the affair, Hazcn7s neighbors will not see a weed on his Sunday hat, and his grief will not be beyond mitigation.

Irwin, of Mission. Adopted, The committee on permanent organization reported the following persons for a com mittee on resolutions: A. B. Coryell, James Mills, A. E.

Turne r. Adopted. Committee on resolutions reported the following, which were adopted: Jletolrei, 1st, That as honest citizens of Brown county, we view with regret and shame the proceedings of the so called Republican county convention held at Hiaw a-tha, 011 the 2Mb of September, 1878, as a fraud, and its proceedings as an insult to the wishes of the people 01 the county. 1 hat its candidates were really nonu'nated before the convention met. at the instigation and by the chicanery of a ring of political trick sters in and about Hiawatha.

Jietulred, 2nd, That reprteutinjr the whole people of Brown county, we offer to them a ticket composed of the better class of its citizens, of irreproachable character, and whose ability and fitness for the variou offices are well known. Whereas, The State convention of the Germans of Kansas did. at their meeting at Topeka. disenthral themselves from the lie publican vokv of bondage under which they have suffered in vears past, and declared that the Germans of Kansas were indepen dent cnoutrh to choose irood men, without reference to old party affiliations, therefore Jitoh-tii. 3d, That we hail this harbinger of patriotism on the part of the, German Americans of the State, and extend to them the hand of good fellow Ship and fraternal rcifard.

-AWri, 4th, That we endorse the following platform, viz That as usury is the means whereby accumulated capital robs industry, it should be prohibited by law. and the frovernment should issue money directly to the people jtvithout the intervention of banking corporations. That the claims of humanity should be considered first, and tbe claims of mere propertv second; that labor tbc active and productive capital of the country, and should be protected and fostered, rather than idle money. That we emphatically condemn the unfair discrimination made "between the wages paid the laboring men and the fees and salaries of office-holders and professional men. That as Congress has the sole power to coin money and to regulate the value thereof under the constitution, it should also exercise the sole power to provide a pajMT currency to be used as money.

That such money be issued in sufficient volume as may be necessary for the commercial trankactions of bnsiness'at all times, and to stunulate en terprise, secure a fair recompense to labor and its products, and promote a due de-velopemcnt of the vast agricultural, mineral aud mechanical resources of the country. That we lavor the unconditional repoal of the resumption act of 1S75; the full rcmoneti-zation of silver, the removal of all restrictions on its coinage, placing it on an equal footins with gold; the repeal of the national bank law; the" retirement of natiomd bank notes and the substitution of treasury notes, commonly called in their place; said notes to be made a legal tender for all purposes. That we are opposed to selling the homes of the people, or dooming them to serfdom, for the purpose of securing the payment of fraudulent bonds. That we demand the enactment of such laws as will permit a reasonable time for the redemption of property sold under execution. That each ex shall receive equal pay for equal work.

That an income tax be established on all incomes exceeding $1,000 a year. That all property is equally protected by ihe government therefore each class of property (including bonds) should bear its just proportion of tax. That we demand the improvement of the navigable rivers of the United States, and that the general government shall controll all channels of domestic commerce, and prevent the robbery of the people by transportation companies and corporations. That we are opposed to granting our public lands to corporations, and any further subsidies of money or public credit. That equivalent for equivalent is the natural law of exchange, and wc are equally hostile to anv form of communism which seeks to appropriate the wealth of others without giving an equivalent, whether it be at once and with violence, or gradually at the rate often or twenty per cent- a year; both modes are violations of natural and moral law, and should be abolished.

TOWNSHIP NOMINATIONS. The Greenback delegates from Hiawatha township met at the Court House in Hiawatha on Tuesday, October first, and nominated the following gentlemen: Trustee S. Herbert. Constables Thos. IL Wheeler.

this week's Hiawatha Jlerald a letter signed by C. W. Johnson the gentleman who delivered a "temperance" lec ture hero last week, which, judging from one of its sentences the lecturer acknowledges he made, mutt have been rather intemperate. We ask pardon of our waders for re producing the letter in these columns; but it is such an unfair wholesale attack (excepting his own "highly es-teemod friendb" upon a largo portion of our best population, that we deem it our duty to publish it entire to let the Germans of tho State know in what manner and bv whom thev are damned" and bo uncouthly condemned. Our regret is only cq xalled by our sur prise that Mr.

It jberts would permit ueu language in hit paper but his having done so necessitntesour publishing it in order to essay an effort to de fend the German Voters of Kansas. EdttoIi ok Herald. 1 find some un favorable comment made npon what I said in relation to tho attitude of the Government to the temperance question. I am also told that I will be held politically responsible for the senti ment. ery well, that is O.

K. 1 want to be, but I wish the matter to be entered of rceord as it was. After speaking of my own tribula tions in tryiag to secure the Dutch vote and influence, I charged that the peo ple of this State were constantly threatened with disaster from the Dutch vote. That while Democrats and Ivepublieaiis would split unou the temperance ques tion it was not so with the Dutch vote, that was always ready to forsake any man or any party committed to the cause of temperance or opposed to their oaDDatii breaking orgies. Thit as for me, I knew I Lad lost the Dutch vote when I decided to join the temperance cause, and bohlly wear the blue ribbon tnat 1 nad to boidly make np mv mind not to cre for that vote when I put on the blue ribbon, that I did not now care lor ii, ana inat so iar as was con i 1 1 cerned "li it wtre not for those ladies and.

the seeming profanitv of an ex pression that ouKht not to be nsed in this pnlpir, I would say Damn the Dutch ote. Tiiis has been magnified into damn ing the Germans individually and col lectively, when no such, matter was meant, for I claim to have many highlv esteemed personal friends who are Germans. But there is a certain class of people, mostly Germans. who bow uown ana. worauip at tue sLrine of a gorbelhed, bloated, bummer named Ganibnnup, sitting astride a keg of beer, and Bwigging a foaming glass of beer; these people, every year rally to wage war with any man upon any ticket.

wno is committed to the cause of Sab bath breaking and beerguzzlinp. They fought Anthony they fought St. John they will always oppoeo any man of known temperance convictions. Thus, year by year an utato, county "and city politics this little band of bummers dictate the policy and the official list of parties. This has gone on for a nnm 1 oer 01 jears.

xa my luugment it is time this sort of a thing was stopped and that the republican party at Jtast should advance its banners higher than a concern about the Dutch vote. llespeclfully, C. W. Johnson, It is a little strange that a gentleman of intelligence sufficient to be a public "lecturer" should make such charges at all stranger still, in such language and, strangest of all, in the pulpit cf a house dedicated to solemn religious worship, and in the presence of ladies of refinement and of imitative youths Mr. Johnson is too much of a gentleman to do such a thing, with any evil in- tent, we know; his entbusiaisni iu his cause mustand, perhaps, does excuse his language; but his animus towards Germans has a plainer and a wider scope and intent.

But to the defense: Does not Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Roberta, and tho whole Republican party, know that the Sunday concerts." Summer Gardens and lag be restaurants of the cities are visited by a very large number of Americans, English, and especially French, as well as Germans? And that one class drink, and laugh, and talk, and waltz, and smoke.as much as tho other? Most of onr years have been spent in the larger cities of the West; wo have seen the hacks and street cars bring home nearly as many of other nationalities as Germans from the summer gardens and as a rule we Lave seen more "bloated" men returning home from an American election at night than from those reeorts. The only perceptible difference was that in the case of the'Germans, they took their wives and little ones with them for the only day's recreation they could get out of the seven. GermanB as a class, all over the world," have demonstrated lieir worth as citizens and their equality in a moral point of view with any nation on the globe.

"They drink beer." Yes, and there are less drunkards among that nationality than any other excepting alone the Jews. As for being anti-Temperance, it is no more true of them than of any other people. And the lecture objected to Gorman listen ers, and interested ones, too. xseer is their national beverage, and their criminal statistics warrant them in deeming it an innocent drink- their aderland customs certainly do, and they have a perfect right to reverence and follow those customs Lere in the land of their adoption. They mean no more "Sabbath-breaking" thereby than some moralists see in the Sacred Opera," or "Sunday evening of some American churches.

1 Germans are peculiarly tenacious of the grand idea of personal liberty, henoe are not prohibitionists henee, are opposed to the present Republican candidate for Governor of Kansas and hence, we opine, are getting, just now, abuse in every Republioan camp of the State, i We admire Mr. Johnson's plucky determination to eschew all intoxicating drinks is manly, it is noble, if he believes he and society are endangered thereby. He is no less a man, no less a gentleman therefor. But his zeal rushes him into extravagant language against a worthy class of people. An effort is being made by the Na-tionaf Greenbackers to get Ben.

To-day a party of Kansas City Merchants, grain and live mock dealers, go over the Kansas Central road from Atchison to it terminous at Bcloit, Mitchell county. Thi thriving town is situated on the east bank of the Solomon river, in the center of one of the most fertile valleys of the West. Th road from Atchison, the Kansas Central runs througe seven counties of Northern Kansas from the Missouri river to reach this place a distance of about 2O0 miles.

Rich and productive as are the Southern plains and valleys of Kansas, we think that in some respects the northern are even su perior, and that in grain and grass and stock the future preponderance will be with them Those of our business men who for the tir; time to-dar and to-morrow sec the valley: of the Republican and Solomon, will, we be lieve, agree with 11s on their return. It is wonderful country thev go to see, a verv garden in the luxuriance of its vegetation and an Egypt in the productions that make up the food of man and animals.

Though the investigation of election frauds is still going on in Washington, the people of the great and prosperous west are not agitated very much over the title of Hayes to the Presidency what they want to know is where to go during the summer for recreation and pleasure and as usual the Old Reliable Hannibal St.

Joseph railroad comes to the front and offers cheaper rates, close connections, and through cars from Missouri river to the principle places of interest in the north, south and Through day coaches and Pullman sleeping cars are run" from Missouri river points to Chicago, via tuincy, (and the Chicago, Burlington makingclose connections with all lines to the north and east, also with the different steamboat lines on the great lakes. Thi is the only line offering a through day coach and Pullman sleeping car, from Missouri river to Toledo, Ohio (via the Wabash) without change, making close connections with rail line-s to all points east. Direct connections made with boat for Pitt-in-Bay, (the Saratoga of the west). This is also the orjy line offering a through day coach from Kansas City to Indianapolis, without change making close connections with all lines cast and south. Pleasure seekers, business men, and the public generally, should remember this fact and purchase their tickets accordingly for sale at all offices in the west.

Ag't, Hannibal, Mo. Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe R. The following circular explains itself: Topeka, Sept. lGth, 1878. We take pleasure in advising you of the completion of the Southern extension of this road from La Junta to Trinidad, Color-ada, forming a through line, of standard gauge, from the Missouri river.

Trinidad is situated fifteen milen North of the New Mexico line, and is five miles South of El Moro, on the direct Government road to Ft. Union. Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Silver City, and all principal points in New Mexico and Arizona. It is distant from Atchison 36 miles, and from Kansas City 652 mi Its. Shippers and others will be interested in knowing, that bv this line through cars ill be run between the Missouri river and Trinidad, without transfer, which cannot be done by anv other line, owing to the change of gauge at Denver.

They will also bear 111 mind that this route, being over two hundred miles shorter than any other, effect a proportionate saving of time, iu transit. J. T. GonrARr, General Freight Agent. F.

In compliance with the law of the State, and for the publie good, the Missouri Pacific through line has reduced its local and through ticket, fares nearly one-third of what they had previously been, and now it is almost cheaper to travel by that line than to stav at home. Notwithstanding this great reduction, the Missouri Pacific will continue to sell round trip tickets between certain stations at a further reduction of ten per cent from the regular and it i hoped that the line will be amply repaid by a patronage for its liberal concessions in passenger VJ V.

E- FOWLKB. Acting Gen'l Pas.s. Ag't. Illustrations by Picture. One of t'ie great contrasts between the School Books used bj the fathers and mothers of the laBd, wbeu young, and those now used by the obildren, is the use of picture.

As a curious instance of illustrating the meaning of words by pictures, look at the three pictures of a Ship on page 1751 of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, these alone illustrat the me ti-ingof more than one hundrtd words and terms far better than they can be defined by any deecription in wcids. of The North" Kansatl, contained the following lhe absolute exclusion of every per sonal controversy. When ueceBsary to speak on any issue interesting to the reading dicnified artmment alone is worthy a place in a newspaper. Editor, writers and readers honestly differ; in' noticing articles in other journals, if in the heat of political de bate rtnkind or uncouth allusions are met, they will be silently passed over and the arguments if any answered, if possible. This shall be adhered to in communications, editorials, locals or advertisements in this paper.

Candidates should bo diHeussed. If deemed unworthy, the proof from record will be published, but no epithets applied. Necessity compels ns to republish it and to ask attention thereto. Three communications, asked to be inserted in this paper this week, are respectfully but posit U'ely declined as will be the case with all "similar manuscripts by tho terms of tho above paragraph. This will be one of the most heated campaigns ever known la Kansas, because the most closely contested.

Men and measures will be more rigidly discussed than ever lefore. Kanasis Las heretofore had such an unenviablo rep utation abroad, because of the bad character of some of her public men, that the people have arisen in their might, and in their majesty determined toTe-deemthe State. But, in doing soatleast so far as thiB journal is concerned lot the work be done without resort to dishonorable or nn gentlemanly agencies. Sweep clean, but never use a muddy broom. The rejected communications alluded to attack tho private character of can didates on the Republican ticket for this county, and deal in slang abuse too gross for a decent journal especially one aiminpr.

as The North "Kaksan does, to be a paper for tho family circle If deemed unworthy, 7ie proof from record will be published, but no epithets applied." We mean exactly what that says. No article attacking the private character of any maa will be admitted to these columns, under any provocation whatever, without such record. KANSAS FRUIT IN MICHIGAN. At the suggestion of John McCay, one of the enterprising farmers of Hia watha township, Henry Isely secured some samples of fruit on exhibition at our late County fair, packed them well in a box and expressed them to Benton Harbor, of the acknowl edged fruit emporiums of the West, with request to exhibit the same at their exposition whish came off last week The fruit was cleverly and cheerfully donated by the following growers Maj E. N.

Morrill, Messrs, I. N. Seaman, Geo. W. Lindley, A.

W. Craycraft, S. Quaif, and a few others whose names we could not learn. The fruit reached us intended point in time and in good bhape and did its share in advertising Brown county, the following letter to Mr. Isely will show Henuy IsELr, Hiawatha Drab Sib 'Your favor received, also the fruit in good order.

Our's is now considered the best apple section cf Michigan, and the shipments of that fruit for murket from this place are the largest of any in the West. The season Lere has been very fine for the growth and maturity of apples and the display of the fruit at our fair were so very fine that I feared before opt ntng'your box that your fruit would suffer from comparison; but am' bappy to say that although we Lad apples on axhibition pronounced by old fruit men the largest they ever saw, I found one in that box that beat them "all to pieces a large light green apple, called by some one here the monstrous piypin.
