NORTH TOPEKA AUG, 28 THEIR FUELING 8 BE VOLT. for Auditor, in ability, education and Republicanism is the superior of those soreheads who are trying by contemptable slander to compass his defeat. You cant do it boys; he was fairly nominated, and the people will see him through. TheWakeeney World published near McCabes home, thus speaks of him While we are not of the number who contend that the Republicans of Kansas owe to the colored element a representation on the state ticket, neither are we of the class who think that because a colored man happened to be nominated he should be defeated. As no white man with a residence in real western Kansas could be placed on the state ticket, we are glad that a colored man with such a residence received the honor.

With the thinking men of the party the question of McCabes moral and intellectual fitness for the position for which he has been named will be the test. If they make up their minds that he is honest and capable, McCabe will be elected by a good majority As to the character of this decision Mr. McCabe will have much to do. If his deportment during the canvass is dignified and free from ostentation the die will be cast iu his favor. In this respect, we predict that his deportment will be all that the most carping critic could desire.

The nomination did not turn Mr. McCabes head, and this is about the highest eulogy which could be pronounced on a young man of color upon his sud denly becoming the recipient of the first nomination ever given in a northern state to a member of the African race.

kept An acre is sufficient for three or four hogs, especially if the ground has been seeded with orchard-grass which starts the quickest and furnishes more feed than most other grasses. The manure from the hogs will increase the growth. The fences should be of a substantial character, so that the pigs will not break out. An unruly hog is the hardest kind of an animal to confine, hence the importance of good fences, to prevent them becom lng breechy a board fence or a stone wall is the best calculated for this purpose. There is no ground so well adapted for a permanent pig pasture as an orchard, and no grass so well suited to it as orchard grass, which grows freely in the shade.

In no other way can a crop be obtained so well under the apple trees the orchard is kept in vigorous condition with little labor. I am not sure but the pasturing of hogs in un orchard will keep the trees in a more flourishing condition than tillage. The trees will not be bruised and the roots broken off, as when the ground is cultivated. The fine roots can come nearer the surface, and consequently feed on the richer soil than when the ground is plowed, as they are then torn away and destroyed. Tillage is not necessary for the vigorous growth of trees, nor is it essential for bountiful yields of fruit.

But for an abundan fruit harvest richuess of soil is of far more consequence. Pigs solve the off-year problem the best of any plan I know of, by making the land so rich tbat a crop of fruit may be had every year. I have a small apple orchard which has not failed in an annual yield fqr years. During this period it has been used exclusively as a pig pasture. No manure has been put on it other than that made by the pigs.

My faith In this remedy for off-years is so strong, that another apple orchard, embracing about five acres, has been prepared lor a permanent pig pasture. The pigs will undoubtedly improve the quail ty of the fruit by devouring all of the apples which fall prematurely, thusdestr y. ing the worms tbat wouldinjure the ap. pies. There is no mode of treatment which will cause breeding sows to be so healthy and to bear better pigs than when allowed to feed on grass.

They are not delirious or ferocious when they have their young, as frequently occurs when confined in a pen. The loses which farmers often suffer on this account, would equal the cost of preparing a permanent pig pasture. When pigs are kept confln el and fed entirely on grain, their profit is often a doubtful question. But fed on grass their growth can be made so cheap ly that there is no question about profit in bog raising. Under the system stated above, pigs are made valuable aids on the farm in producing other beneficial results.

NOT A NICKLE. I knew that man when he was not worth a nickle, said a man to a stranger, as he pointed to a passer by. Is that so? How long ago? About a year. "Men rise suddenly In this country, I suppose? Yes, sometimes. So you knew him when he wasnt worth a nickle.

How much do you suppose he is worth now? He aint wofth a nickle.

Remember FOUCHTT is head SHALL LA WLESSNESS REIGN It is not strange that the open and secret enemies of prohibition, who are the abettors of the law defying city officials and saloonists, should shout and howl against mob law.

Nobody has sought to get up a riot. When 8 P. Dunlap said in his forcible speech at the opera house something must be done to close these saloons before the fair, or something frill be done, he clearly intended to urge the necessity of doing something in a legal way promptly in order to prevent popular indignation fever breaking forth and doing something revolutionary. Mr. Dunlap called upon all good citizens, to use all their influence' in restraining popular fury in order that some legal remedy can be applied.

He urged that the meeting cease talking and take ae tion in bringing out some legal remedy designed to effect a closing of the saloons before the fair. The only litiga tion that this speaker expressed impatience with was that proposed against the city officials. The objection to this was that if would not close the saloons before the fair. It is unfair that any single sentence from that gentlemans speech should be selected and distributed, was to make it appear that he is favorable to mob law. The tenor of his entire speech was in favor of law, and to have law enforced upon officials who are direlect in their duty which they swore to perform.

He was earnest in desiring immediate and rigorous action, as the time is nearly upon us when this city must either regain her reputation, or be classed with the cities of the west where lawlessness is the rule. What will be done Mr. Shubert, of the Leavenworth Frie Press gives utterance to the following The Germans, from their youth, have been taught to love their institutions and customs, and when in coming to America and finding that one of their cherished customs is abridged by. spec'al legislation, their feelings revolt. We cannot believe that this feeling is en tertained by any considerable portion of the German people, for it would not be consistent with the cauaes that induced them to come to this country in search oi homes and wealth.

It cannot be that they cherished the custom that compelled military ser vice by every male in the German empire. It cannot be that they cherished the custom that caused the poor to live in hovels on black bread anc little meat, nor can it be that they yet cherish the custom that made it treasonable to give utterance to the feelings that arose from oppression in every form. The United St ites opened wide her doors and invited the people of all European countries, offering free liberties consistent with the rights of others, and protection to all. But did it ever occur to those who have accepted this invitation that there were laws in this country that were entitled to respect, and which were based upon the institutions and customs we were taught to love and cherish? While their feelings revol over the legislation that has founded Sunday laws, do they revolt over the laws that give them homes and the privileges of competence. Before leaving the rule of despotic government, did they vainly hope that they were coming to a country where they would be compelled to obey only such laws as best suited Uem? They claim that they have aided the republican party into power.

True enough. But is there any reason why they should seek to use the republican party to defeat the laws of the state and nation? Is there any reason why the republican party should be compelled to reduce the state to anarchy and misrule? Are they so soon to become the masters, not only of the republican party, but the nation? It is well the issue has been made, It is well that we know where they stand, before the party has been made the instrument of their wishes and desires. Those Germans who believe in good government, and purity of party, will not be driven into any such move. Those who prefer the gratification of their own desires will probably leave the party and enter the ranks of the democrats, and will endeavor to gain their ends there. They did not come to this country to help build up free government, but to have freedom from all restraint.

They care naught for the institutions of this country. They compose a portion of the great many of men who, clothed in the habiliments of citizenship, seek to destroy. They accept protection in order to deal a death blow at good government. Their hand has been revealed We must make the fight, awaiting the slow creeping on of years, until the boys of to-day, of 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 years of age, who love our institutions, are permitted to vote in order to offset the votes of men who, after five or six mouths residence, and no knowledge of our laws, in a body attempt to dictate to theparty. Which wonld inake the best citizens? We leave the reader to answer quarters for all who want goods in this line Kansas.

PIGS FOR PROFIT. BY COL. D. F. CURTIS, the American Agriculturalist says: The care of pigs in summer can be made less, troublesome and more profitable than is usually the case.

Unless confined in restricted quarters, pigs are liable to break out and do mischief. They are not adapted to being kept with other stock, as no animal likes to feed after pigs, and while this dislike is so marked that animals will not eat out of the same vessel that pigs have been fed, or in which they have mussed, they may be forced, from hunger, to eat the grass in the pasture where they run, but it is not wise to compel them to do so. For these reasons, farmers generally keep pigs shut up in pens, where they must'be supplied with all the food they requite. Sometimes this condition is improved upon by allowing them a small range on the ground. This is better than olose confinement in the pen, as it makes them more comfortable and healthy, but it does not lessen very much the amouut of care they require, as the supply of food is soon exhausted.

It is a better plan to have the enclosure so large that the pigs cannot readily consume all the grass and make it bare of any kind of vegetable. When pigs are not rung, to prevent their rootiDg, they will soon spoil a small enclosure, and also damage a larger one. This injury to the pasture can easily be prevented by inserting in their snouts two or three rings made of malleable wire. Care should he taken to have the ends of the wires straight, so that they will not pullout. Every farm should contain a pasture for pigs, set apart for their exclusive use.

It should be large enough to afford them ample space, so that while they are feeding off one portion the grass will grow on the rest of it, to afford continuous feed. The size of the pasture must be regulated by the number of pigs to be LIVER HOUSE, J. Oliver, Proprietor, Silver Lake, Kansas. Sample room lor mercial men.

McCABE. The candidate for auditor of state is unknown to many people, and there are vague, undefined notions as to who or what he is. Many people imagine him to be au ignorant, clownish colored man, unqualified for the position he is called upon to fill. The color line is also drawn by those who cannot overcome the prejudices of an early education. But as the people and the press come to know him, the support extended is becoming more general, and he is found to be in every way worthy of support.
