At the last meeting Of the Farmers
Club in Liberty township, the following
resolution was paced:
Resolved, that we organize ourselves
into committee, for the purpose OF re-
sisting parties who may violate the law
BY driving Texas cattle into or through
this neighborhoOd.
1t will be seen by this action on the
part of the farmers that they arc deter
mined te enforce the law on the statute
book in this regard in that locality.
Some other sections Of the county are
pursuing the same line of policy. They
seem determined to carry the law into
effect. The cattle trade has been hither-
to rather permission on the part Of the
farmers. Now that they have met with
heavy losses from the cattle disease, they
seem determined to prevent future i'm
portatiOn of them over their farms. We
have no doubt that some sections of the
county are in favor Of a continued intro
duction of the "long horns" This bust
ness rests entirely with the farmers, and
Of course they will consult their own in
tcrcsts in the matter. They have perfect
right to enforce the law if they deem it
proper.
We would, consequently, enjoin the
drovers to respect the farmers rights.
They have the law upon their side, and
an invasion upon ii cir privileges will
surely cause the law breaker to suffer Sc
vcrcly. This resolution from Liberty
township seems to be an expression OF
the feeling On this subject OF majority
of the farmers Of that district, and its
contents should attract earnest attention
from all those interested.

faR n0lDEy RAILROAD.
Some of our people, if not the major
ity of them, have felt very much dis
couraged, during the past three months,
over the prospects to extend this road
on west from Paola to Salina. The GER
tainty Of the extension was thought to
he all right, and then it became dim in
decd. Franklin county, some time ago,
submitted . proposition to aid the road,
and then it was withdrawn at the suggcs-
ton of r s. Stevens, general manager
of the n, K. l. T. r r., that the COM
rany would not then accept the terms.
The trouble was this Last fall when the
road was completed to Paola, in Miami
county, it was supposed Franklin county
would act promptly and vote aid. But she
was tardy, and only this spring, afterfally
realizing that the road would not come a
mile nearer her territory without the as
sistance, was it that she made the effort
to do the fair thing. Had she acted 9TH
erwisc in favor of the road than being
thus selfish, the road would now be in
full operation to the city Of Ottawa, and
more than likely be speeding on toward
the western line OF Franklin county,.
The submission Of the proposition at the
late day did not meet the company'spur-
poses, as the time in which the road could
possibly he built To the west line of Nj
ami county would pass beyond the period
voted for aiding the road with bonds on
the last half OF the county.
The people Of Ottawa have just held a
meeting to consider the subject Of con-
tinuing the road on to Ottawa, and q CON-
mi,tce was appointed to confer with the
proper authorities upon it. The commit
tee proceeded to Parsons. but failing to
meet the board of directors telegraphed
10 Mr.. Stevens, ut Sc,lalia, for an terview.
Mr.. Stevens returned n reply that an in
tervicw with him could do no good, that
he should not commit himself nor the
NJ, X. & I. company to any proposition
whatever with reference to the Holden
road extension, nor would he even ex-
press an opinion upon the matter, one
way or the other, except that he felt
kindly toward the enterprise.
From all Of which we do not argue
that the case looks bad. When the road
was conceived it was expected, and un-
doubtedly assured, that the several coun-
ties along the line would come to time
with reasonable amounts of assistance.
The punishment TO Ottawa is just and
the experience will serve as wholesome
lesson to her. However, her peple will
not permit the road to remain where it
is, nor to strike off in q southwesterndi-|
rection, As some people are striving to
have done. They are too public spirited
for that and too much alive to their own
interests we know them and know their
good and thorough works in the past.
We give it As our opinion that the aim
of Mr.. Stevens is to secure the residue
of bonds of Miami county by an extern
sion Of time.
We predict that the road will be COM
pletcd to Salina in the next two and a |
half years.

II there is any virtue in the law, and
we think there is, we think VIC should try
a little of the article ON Alexander Cald-
we'll were we in W. S. Burke's place.
The Lawrence Tribune, referring to the
late suit Of Caldwell against Burke and
its issue in favor of the defendant, says
ale attempted to attach Burke's
printing material and absolutely so
him as to cffectually break
him up in business" Perhaps Burke
might not be able to show direct cause
for damages, and perhaps he might. 1t
is indeed dcspicable to see one man injure
another by contracting for his services
to elevate him to Office and then UNDER
taking to cheat him out of his just pay.
Caldwell has been thoroughly ventilated
on account of this late piece of strategy,
and it is we'll he has been, but that does
not repair the fallen fortunes Of Burke.

Acounty is "robbcd Of habits growth "
BY its interminable wrangling about
county seats. Much Of this strife has
arisen in the new counties Of Western
Kansas and has resulted in rctarding
the introduction of capital and settlers
into them. This strife has been bitter,
carried on generally in a cowardly and
craven manner, and has resulted in no
especial benefit to those loud in the con-
test. Ifthc settlers Of new county, in its
earlier days, would endeavour to locate
the county scat near q central point,
much trouble would he avoided. The
legislatures have had rcmcdying pro-
cess in view for some time, and last win
ter made some attempt at useful legisla-
ton on this subject; although it was not
exactly what was needed.

1t is stated that the Kansas City peo-
pie are agitating the project Of extending
the L. l.. l. q. r. II. from Ottawa to
Emporia- A road must be built BY
some company from Paola via Ottawa
and Emporia to the great southwest and
that very soon, too. Should we fail in
the Holden road after all, which we do
not for moment suppose, why may not
the county look to Emporia for connec-
ction! By the aid of Emporia, we be-
licve o railroad could be extended West
from that place to Salina. We must
have another Eastern outlet, and q route
by Emporia would answer our purposes
very well. Let us keep our eyes open
and make up our minds to have a road
in that direction and work for it, and
We will get it.

A queer story comes from France, to
the effect that that country is preparing
for another war with Germany. A cor
respondent says there has been no peace
between these two countries since the
fall of Paris, but only an adjournment
of hostilities. The Government, says
the same correspondent. is making sire
nuous efforts to bring the army up to its
fullest capacity; there have been large
purchases of horses in Hungary, Eng
land and Germany; the work shops for
the manufacture of artillery and fire.
arms are in full blast; Paris is being
strengthened by new lines of forts; and
provisions sufficient to maintain large
army and the citizens for two years have
been brought into the capital. The SOL
diers are under constant and severe dis.
cipiine, and are kept in camp. away from
the demoralizing Influences of large
cities, and the morale OF the army is said
to he excellent. Although the condition
OF France has greatly improved since
her late bout with Germany, it is not
probable that she will be willing or able
to cope with the latter country on the
battlefield for years to come. Besides,
Prince Bismarck has watohfnl eye on
his ancient enemy, and would not be
likely to be caught mapping.

HORRIBLE TRAaEDY.-On Friday even.
ing last, says the Cumberland (MdO
Times, horrible murder took place on
Beaver Greek, Fayette County, Penn,
about five miles North of the Western
line OF this County. The murder grew
out OF an old fad that has existed be-
tween the parties for number of years.
On the evening in question, Alpheus
Glover, q farmer, eyed aboutfo forty years,
went with his daughter, young woman
OF eighteen, and son about six years
old. to look at a COW that hail calved in
the road, near the farm of Mr.. Jacob
Staubs, adjoining bis own. Some hogs

upon them. Just then Jacob Staub and
his son. young boy of sixteen or eight
teen years. came up. the father armed
with revolver and the latter carrying q
rifle. As they approached they pointed
their weapons at Glover. who told them
to go away, that he did not want any
trouble with them. The elder Staub re-
piled. 'Ill shoot your heart out" At
this Glover's daug hter stepped between
the muzzles of the weapons and her
father. She was roughly told by Staub,
'You get out of the way" The girl, in
her fright, obeyed the command. when
the little boy, apparently seeing the
great danger in which his father stood,
clung to his knees, crying piteously the
while. But the appeals OF the children
did not save the fathers life, for Staub
and his son fred together, and Glover
fell, (his little boy was still clasping his
legs.) exclaiming "My God. Jake. what
have you done to me-" and expired al
most instantaneously. Staub and his
son then fed to their home. Staub and
his son were arrested and placed in Jail
at Uniontown. Jacob Staub, the mur.
derer, is q native of this County. Glover
the murdered man, was native of Fay

reting out cases of this kind, detectives
are employed, as done by nearly all rail-

puates that the report of a detective

to certain abuses of privilege which have
crept into the conductors service, and
in making them the company have only
sought to protect themselves against the

a .remonstrance against the order, which

The subjoined resolution has been
adopted by the worthy Board Of Trus-
tees Of the University. The offence of
the young gentlemen named therein is
that they hooted at Roberts and Cum
mings, the Radical Professors elect, the
latter of whom has most questionable
character. and whose appointment was
made solely as reward for supposed po.
htical services, and at the sacrifice of
every interest of the institution. Aside
from its petty malice, the resolution is
farcical in its Stiffness and impotency. It
cannot be enforced. unless Grant will
send down the military arm of the Go
vernment to do so. and we opine that
the days Of military despotism are about
ended. Here is copy of the resolution
and the order for it's enforcement, a copy
