The Humboldt Union has timely and
telling articles on the " liberal move
ment in Kansas, wherein the resemblance
Of this years projects.tO the one Of the
same name 10 1884 is closely and caro-
fully sketehed.
The following are the main features o.
similarity pointed ont By the Onion
The liberal republican" convention Of
1864 and that of 1872 were held in the
same city and ut about the same time Of
the year NJ. J. PARROT called both con.
ventiOns to order, and made substantial
~ the same speech on both occasions,
the name Of Grant being substituted in
1879 for that Of Lincoln in 1854 in both
conventions, the matter of credentials
was entirely disregardcd, and no mans
political antecedants were inquired after.
Byron Sherry " topped" into both con-
ventions the convention of 1864 resOlv-
ed against corruption, tyranny and all
thai sort OF things just as did the con-
vention of 1872 in short, and both were
men upon common basis Of hostility to
the republican party and its president.
The Cnion is perfectly safe in predict
ing that the " liberal' experiment this
year will "pan out" just as poorly for
the eXper mentors rs did their fruitless
venture Of 1864. Kansas is republican
to the core, and will never he anything
else while the republican party contin-
ues to conduct itself as il has so far
done, and to present such candidates for
president AS the one it is putting tor
ward for the campaign of lsI2.-7opek0

FUN AHEAD.


The indication is that there will be
much strife over the presidential nomi-
nee in the Cincinnati convention. There
are too many elements to be satisfied, too
many aspirants whose "claims" must
be remembered. The Labor Reformers
will insist upon representative of their
interests; the Sc cding Republicans must
have their man, who still possesses some
of the "ancient virtues" of Republican
ism; the Democrats-if they succumb to
the coalition-must bring forward one
of their number for candidacy, who could
in former years "vote his ticket with
out a scratch and drink his whisky
straight" the Rebel Democracy can
not allow a chance to go by to restore
one of the chivalry to honor and rcnown.
With all these fragments of beliefs and
political creeds, what is to be expected!
The first thing which undoubtedly will
be done must be soldering over each
other and the clearing up their past rec
ords, so that little combinations and alli-
ances can easily be formed. Schurz will
retract those memorable words uttered
at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1861, when
he said, in effect, that the rebels must be
hunted down until not one Of them shall
remain on the face of the earth. b.
Gratz Brown must shed penitcnt tears
over his patriotic course during the war.
Sumner must turn off with pleasant
ries his Gaming in the Senate. All OF
them must be oblivious Of the wrongs
and cnmities of former years and be-
come band Of loving and sympathl.ing
brothers. Was ever such convention
contemplated before in our history as
republic! A party with no head or
tail, no principles, no organization, no
feeling in common among lis members,
is new thing to US. II would remind
u. rather of the ragged flags and ends y
and sans culottes Of the armies Of New
Zealand.

PAY As You GO.-As we often quote
the maxim, "The farmer pays for all, =
but experience shows that if he must
pay he had better pay at once, and not
trust procrastination, who is not only
the thief of time but also of interest.
The Chicago Tribune makes the follow
ing little calculation, which, as "igures
won't lie" makes the matter pretty clear;
Farmer A. bought a cultivator on six
months time, for S35, and gave his note
with interest at laper cent. Farmer b.
paid cash for the implement, at s26, and
gave his note to a banker tor the money,
and paid for the use OF the money for
one month 10 cents, with an agreement TO
renew monthly a: the same rate. Atthc
end OF six months, when Farmer AS.
note becomes due, the account will stand
rs fnliowS.

bly, wholesome, and added, in proof thereof, it
was the staple article of food with the peasantry
Of Scotland.
"Porridge makes strong men, then" said the
empress with a smile.
But they eat oatmeal cakes also, your IMAGES
"What are they?"
The empress had never seen cakes, and your
correspondent had the honor OF presenting her
majesty with genuine specimen Of our native
bread.
Breaking off a piece, she ate it with a seeming
relish, aughingiy asserting it was very good,
Nv hat do the common people here drink
what liquors? BeerP She suggested, as hest
lated for moment.
The only liquor much in vogue with my COM
patriots, was compelled to own, was our whis-
key.
'Whiskey," said the empress, turning with
smile TO her companion beautiful dark-eyed
girl. 81 had a little whiskey yesterday at Ben
Nevis. 1t gave me courage 10 ascend and seemed
to give me legs" she added with great merri-
ment, in which it was impossible not to join,
even in defiance of court etiquette.
'Why do the ladies in Scotland not wear tar
tan p was the next question as We drew near
little quay where number oil galy dressed la
dies stood 10 catch q passing glimpse OF the il
, lustrious tourist.
'Ah, it is too national"
81 should like to wear it for that reason.
| Every year." continued the empress, 81 had tar
tan sent from inverness to Paris; and my little
boy-I call him my little boy, but he is a big
boy now-wore the Highland dress when he
was only four years old and he wears it some
times yet; bnt," she added, ''the Highland COS
tune should not be attempted, | think, if it has
not been worn in childhood. 1t is easily seen
when it is new"
1t was her majesty's intention to visit the eel
ebrated Fails of FoyerS," but the fatigue of the
previous day was beginning to tell in the
stitfened limbs of the royal tourist, and she was
compelled to succumb in spite of herself
The prince imperial, whose 1.-the limbs it
seemed as if nothing would tire, scampered off
with Il bounding step, and got ahead of the
tourists who went ashore Ito do the falls" He
was the last to return to the steamer, and with
true motherly anxiety the empress tood looking
out in the direction from which he was ex-
pected.
The warning bell rang out DANGEROUSLY, but
the prince imperial was not in sight, and as his
mother perceived the passengers hurying on
board she betrayed great uneasiness lest he
should be left behind
ooh! the boat will 20 away and my son is not
here" she cried, with look of distress. "Louis,
Louis, come quick, make hastel' and she seemed
to feel intense relief when he Teappeared.
IL did not apparently occur to her majesty
that anr distinction should be made between
her son and the rest of the passengers, and upon
this point the empress was very decided, insist
ing that no deviation from the ordinary rules
ShOQld be made unOn her account

Mr. Henry Bessemer, whose name associated
with the new process of steel manufacture, is
bold as well as ingenious inventor. He has two
notable projects now in hand, TO be tested by
experiment and made practically available, if
successful One is an enormous gun, sixty feet
in length, to carry projectle larger than any
yet ventured upon, and having its charge of
powder distributed in several chambers, so that
the portions will ignite successfully as the ball
passes them, each adding TO its velocity. The
range is expected to be far greater than any yet
attained. The other invention, which he is now
periectng, is of much more general interest,
and promises to have greater practical
value. 1t is a device to be applied in
the first place to steamers crossing the
channel between France and England
but apparently applicable as well to other ocean
steamers and intended to preserve passengers
from the violent rolling and pitching of the YES
sci, which causes sea sickness. His first plan
was to suspend on two aXles at right angles TO
each other, at the centre of motion of the vessel

The Chicago Times, the leading democratic
journal of the northwest, declares for 0Conor
and Adams, the straight democratic candidates
for president and vice president.
The indianapolis Journal says "the people of
Indiana will avoid the houble of two political
funerals by burying Hendricks and Greeley in
the same political grave in October"
Gen. Garfield who has just returned from his
Indian trip, says that Greeley has no chance
whatever in the west, and that, so far as he could
see, whatever strength he possessed has entirely
passed away.
The Pittsbnrg Commercial intimates that there
is something desperately cool in the proceedings
of Senator Fenton, who, as chairman of the
senate contingent expenses committee, is ena-
bled TO retain his clerk on the senate rolls and
make the treasury pay his salary as secretary Of
the liberal congressional committee.
Hon. VIM. Moran, of Philadelphia who was
nominated by the Greeleyites for congress in the
second district of Pennsylvania, has refused to
accept the nomination, and declared his adhesion
to Grant. Mr.. Moran was supposed to be a
Greeleyite; and he thinks the administration is
open to criticism" But" he says, "the per-
sons that would have charge of Mr. Greeley if
elected president of the United States, would
prove ten-fod more disastrous to the interests of
the republic. | am free to say that am for
Grant and Wilson, Hartranft, O'Neill, AleXan-
der, and the whole republican ticket, and shall
do my utmost to secure their election"

WHAT "TAMSIANY KNEW ABOUT SCIENCE
One of the leading scientific journals abroad
contains the following paragraph concerning
one of the most diScreditable incidents con.
nected with the ring" rule in New York city:
Mr. Waterhouse Hawkins efforts in New
York have, we regret to learn, been completely
overthrow by an ignorant manager of the
Central Park museum. In answer to an inquiry
made of him, Mr.. Hawkins says that all he had
done during twenty-one months TO restore the
skeletons of the extinct animals of America (of
the hadrOsauruS and the other gigantic animal
which was thirty-nine feet long) was destroyed
by order of Mr.. Henry Hilton, on May Sd, with
sledge-hammer and caTted away TO Mount St.
Vincent, where the remains were buried several
feet below the surface. The preparatory sketches
of other animals, including a mammoth and
mastodon, and the mOlds, and sketch models,
were destroyed. Mr.. Hilton did this, said Mr..
Hawkins, out of ignorance, just as he had a
coat of white paint put on the skeleton of
whale which Mr. Peter Cooper had presented to
the museum, and just as he had bronze statue
painted white. Mr.. Hilton told the celebrated
naturalist who had come from England to under
take the work that he should not bother himself
with dead animals;" that there was plenty TO
do among the living. This illustrates the policy
of having such men as Hilton at the head Of
one of the most important departments of the
city government. When the skele tons were dug
up again, by order of Col. Stebbns, they were
found broken in thousands OF pieces. PROBES
scr Henry of the Smithsonian institution, when
he heard of the piece of barbarsm, would not
believe it. "Why," he exclaimed, "I,would have
paid them good price for it!' Mr.. Hilton
however, preferred to destroy the work OF the
natura list, which had cost the city at least
$4,000

spondent, writing Of the autumn maneuvres of
the British army, says:
The northern and southern armies have now
taken the field in earnest. All the week they
have been marching and drilling and fighting
little private battles within their own lines
Left against right, and division against division
Just TO feel their legs and try their wind and in
another day or two the armies will come into
actual collision.
Last year a stampede of cavalry horses in
vested the opening Of the campaign with q GER
tain degree Of dramatic excitement. This wear
nothing more serious has yet occurred than
sudden and startling onset Of wasps, which,
however laughabe, at one moment threatened
to be attended with serious results. TWAS Lord
Mark Kerr's division (northern army which
was thus attacked. A cluster Of the vicious in
sects settled on the back of the generals horse,
which began to plunge furiously. This was only
preliminary skirmish, however, and in a few
sec onds the staff were enveloped in a cloud of
wasps. The horses kicked and reared; rein.
torcements Of the enemy kept pouring in, and
the head of the column soon found itself sur
rounded by myrads of singing foes. The con
vulsive movements of the horses thus assaied
frightened the other horses, and scene of
dangerous confusion occurred. Lord Mark Kerr,
as soon as he got back to earth, for at first his
powerful charger made a series of wild leans as
if bound for the skies, with great presence of
mind, halted the column, and then turned il
aside from the road into barley field, where a
good screen of trees kept off the enemy. Pres
emily the wasps began to settle down, aud a
iorlorn hope OF two sergeantS and an adiutant
carried the position and smothered the foe en-
n1dsse, by steathy advance of shovels full of
wet clay. 1t is not stated whether medal is
to be given for this gallant exploit. If nests of
wasps could be carried about in ammunition
carts and exploded on the enemy at well chosen
moments, new turn might be given TO some
OF the operations Of war.

a stronger hold than it otherwise could have or
the rising generations in Utah. Yet good is
