Nov. 18TH, 1874.
DEAR NEWS: Amid some priya-
tions through the year now fast closing
up, we have been bIest with good
health Not days sickness nor
death in the county for nearly two
years.
But on thc contrary, in the immedi-
ate vicinity OF Cedar, south from the
Point within distance of ten miles,
within the last fourteen months, there
have beea no less than fifteen births,
aud all parties have done well. If at
your next county fair you should cfIvr
premium for the most good looking
babies from the same amount of terri
tory, raised the last few months, this
part of Chase would be safe TO COM
pete.
Well, you know on tie 18th and 18th,
we had our first snow. The ground
was covered about three inches. Tie
warm rain of Saturday night and
Sunday morning used it all up.
MIR. Imbla Young has sold his farm
of $50 acres to AN Illinois man for
$500. Mr.. Robert Crisup sold his GO
acres for 1900. MIR. Frank Crisup
has traded his farm with Mr.. Philo
Ogden. Mr.. Ogden rctires from the
store and Mr., Crisup becomes the
merchant.

proposed work. He stated, also.
that in pursuance of an order from
the department, issued at his earn

oyercoats, trousers, shoes and
blankets would be sent to him
within q few days, by the depot
quartemaster at Fort Leaveuworth
and that when received they should
be promptly turned oyer to the COM
miltee for distribution among the
needy.
The details of the plans of the
committees operations were left to
the executive committee, which
meets this Saturday evening to set
the relief machinery in motion.
The general features of the plan
may be briefly stated. 1t is design

From some quarter the Lafayette Courier
claims to have obtained the key-n OF the
republican campaign of the fall. 1t contains
this authoritative statement:
There is to be a fair square fight this fall. The
republican party in county and state will en-
dOrse the Baxter billiard give no uncertain
sound on finance, monopoly and all the great
questions ofthe hour.
How near 10 the throne the Courier may
be to enable it to speak for the state, can
be only a matter of conjecture. The tone
and a policy settled and agreed upon be-
yond contingency. Whether the decaying
party in the state will accept this platform
may be little uncertain. AS to the fair,
square fight" on the issues named, it is not
so clear other e1ple besides. the Courier
and the republican party stand on very
similar principles. In some counties of the
state, the democrats proclaim a champion
ship of the same doctrines. Clinton and
Johnson counties, at least, both democratic
in the past by large msjorities, put the Bax-
ter plank into their platform. How
will the Courier make q square
fight" with these democratic brethren9 As
to monopolies, reform of expenses, taxation
and corruption in office, it will be hard to
get up fight with any body outside the
republican party on those issues. II the
Courier makes square fight against those
sins in the republican lines, the great party
will certainly be house divided against it.
self and will fall. The evils against which
the fight is proposed are the sole property
and attributes of the republican party.
1t is possible that the Courier
to fight with advantage on the
issues proposed will find it convent
emit to get out of the republican party. 1t
will find by consulting the organs OF the
great lights in that party that they contem-
plate policy Numerically the reverse of
that proposed. The head-center of
all the organs is ferociously hostile

ambition of Chicago is backed by executive
p 'omptitude. She aspires to become prsc-
tically seaport town." to carry on
her traffic directly with foreign countries.
Already she has an established trade by
direct importations in coffees, teas, pepper
and spices. She is rapidly unshaekling from
dependence on New York. The export OF
grain and pork will soon follow. Then II
will speedily come to pass that ways and
means will be provided for cheaper trans
portstion to New York and other
seabosrd cities. AS the commerce OF
the West increases, its value will
will create the competition necessary for
reasonable prices. Business interests will
easily do what it is exceedingly hard to en-
force by legal process.

All the commercial papers of New York
are sounding the note of warning that the
city is about to lose her commerce, or a large
part of it. The cost and difficulty of eK-
porting produce and importing merchandise
through New York have suggested as the
surest measure of reform not to go there at
all. Chicago is moving with accustomed
spirit and energy, to export the grain di-
rectly from her warehouses to Europe. 1t
is held that sea going vessels OF light
draught can be loaded with grain and taken
out to sea through the Welland canal and the
st. Lawrence river and the thing is no
sooner said than done. The vessels thus far
loaded carry about $1,000 bushels of grain,
and tbs believed they can make profitable
business in this mode OF transportation.
The New Workers are waking up to the
necessity of improving facilities for ship
ments by charging the canals, and espe-
cially by more perfect arrangements for
loading grain from cars and canal boats
upon ocean steamers. Herein lies the solu-
ton Of the question of transportation. The

burglars who made especially of hardware
stores in this vicinity about year ago, are
again on the war-path. Two attempts were
made to enter Raymond's hardware store
night before last and failed owing to the Wig
ilance of a watch dog.
The interest in the coming races is largely

two hundred. Among them are Red Cloud-

Many of these are here with the expectation
that additional purses will be offered by the
society. The association joined the National

its rules.

There you have about the same thing that
the tax-ridden and party detesting people
of this state have done. Indiana, Illinois
Michigan, Kansas, Wisconsin, California and
Iowa now stand in the same line
of open opposition to party rule. In
California, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa,
the reformers have carried the first battle
and Indiana will make that result sure by
the work of June 10. Every sign by which
the results of popular sentiment are fore
casted. point to an overwhelming triumph
of the independent voters in the autumn
elections. Day by day, as the movement In
sugurated by the farmers in this state, be-
comes better known, it strengthens and
increases in volume. Men who were at first
hopeless and respondent Of any escape from
partisan misrule now look eagerly to this
popular uprising as the sign on

timidity, or divided counsels, the enemy

When the contemplative patriot feels dis
posed to enter the vale of despond because
of the political degeneracy of the day and
generation, there are some compensations
which NAV tend to lift the bur.
den of gloom and uphold the an.
cient pride of Americans in being
sons and citizens of the great republic
Though we are not so great in the arts as
France, nor so learned and thorough as the
German, nor so commercially thrifty as
the English, we have certain possessions
that these countries do not enjoy.
General George B. Mcclellan is at
present contributing series of papers upon
army organization to Harper's Magazine,
aud some interesting facts are given in re-
gard to national CONSUMPTION. In England
the term of enlistment is for ten or twelve,
while in the United States it is only five
years in times of peace. Consumption is
divided into two classes: First, that under
which all bodied men are called upon to
render military service during peace
as well as in war. The second
includes only portion of the
able-bo men, and of those drawn the
greater part are allowed substitutes. Rus
STA and Austria come under the first class
In the former, the term OF service is fifteen
years, of which portion is on leave of alb
sence. In Austria the term is limited to
eight years in the active service, with two
years in the reserve. In France every man
fit for service is liable for duty in the
regular army, or the reserves from
the age of twenty to that of forty.
ALI Frenchmen liable for duty be-
long to the active army for four years,
to theterritorial army for five years, and to
the reserve of the Territorial army for six
years, making total of fifteen years. 1t is
only in Germany that the idea of universal
obligation is strictly carried out. Only
members of royal families, men
physically incapable, and men con-
victed of crimes are exempt from service.
This rigor, however, has only been in force
since the reorganization in 1s59-60. Every
German, therefore, becomes a member of
the standing army on completing his
twentieth year and so continues seven years,
in peace serving three years with the colors
and four with the reserves. For the follow.
ing five years he belongs to the celebrated
Landwehr and no substitutes are allowed.

II Is especially stated Dy the officers that
everybody interested in the manufacture
and handling OF butter in the United States
il invited 10 the butter convention, June II,
in this city. There Is an organization under
whose auspices the convention is held. The
name of it is too long to put in writing
oftener than semi-snnually. 1t may be
well to give il once more as mark OF re-
spect. The naIce Is the Association o.
Manufacturers and Dealers in Factory and
Creamery Bntter." Let that suffice for
writing the name. The society itself IL
probably less formidable. There are two
motives which should lead the farmers Of
this state and their good wives to attend the
proposed meeting. The first Is to Obtain.
useful hints on the practical work of butter
making, and the seond is that a new interest
may be created in this branch of industry
and profit. Indiana is disposed to be a littl,
slow in striking out into new paths, and sht
will bear some spurriDg up. 1t is her gooC
fortune that her possession of the best rail
road center in the country brings thi,
meeting to the state. Now wouldn't it bs
mortiiying after the convention comes here
to see IL ignored or neglected by our owl
folks? The people should be reminded OF
this by the press, that they may be duly
advised and not forget the meeting.
