Gen. Grass Hopper has been NOM
mated by the Anti-Republicans of
Kansas for Governor. He has.been a
farmer all his life, and all his boys
are farmers. He is the ancestor of II
very numerous tribe. He promises
offices to all his relations in case of
his election, and depends mainly up
on Hopper support for success in tho
campaign. His extreme ideas upon
the subject of nepotism render him
very unpopular outside of his family
connections. He headed mob
in an attack upon the Leaven-
worth and Topeka r. r. last week
and undertook to ditch and rob n
train in the Kaw valley few miles
east of the capital, but was repulsea
with great loss. The conductor put
on all the steam his engine could car
ry and made q brave and successful
dash through the ranks of the Anti
Monopoly forces. Gen. Hopper'S
foraging bands are devastating largo
portions of the State. Gen. Jack
Frost has been ordered forward with
large reinforcements, and is expected
to meet and route the Hopper forces
some time In October. The people
are already tired Of Hopper rule,
and will rally en- nsasse in opposition.

Orders have been Issued to prevent
the return of the hostile indians to
the reservations. They periodically,
and whenever it suits their savage
purposes, break over the bounds
within which they have by solumn
treaty with the Government pledg-
ed to remain they take their fill
of plumber and innocent blood, in
violation to law and treaty, by means
of weapons and supplies furnished
by Government, and then claim the
right to return unpunished to their
reservations and be protected and
furnished again with supplies for
winter suStenance. 1t is time to
treat them as we should treat more
enlightened enemies in war. Their
repeated violations of treaties, their
utter disregard Of all endeavors
to make them comfortable, their
manifest determination not to abide
by their treaties, and to butcher and
ravage whenever and wherever OPP
portunity occurs, are sufficient war
rant for their treatment by our Gov
ernment as prisoners OF war. If we
must support them it should be done
i'm the most economical way. Place
them upon smaller territory in local
tiles convenient of access, and guard
them there. BE humane TO. them,

the Monop candidate for Judge
in this District: "Going from II

tered school at Oskaloosa College and
sa,ced apood TO pay his 6oard,-this is
an honorable record, for we know
how it is ourself; he studied law and
in 1860 commenced the practice Of

nice to tell in Poweshiek county,
but hereabouts will not stick togeth-

How has it Paid

Some months ago there were 1900
oranges in Iowa. Suppose there
were fifty members to each grange.
Some of these paid an initiation fee
of s5 and some paid less, take So as
the average fee. Multiply l,sOO by
50 and we have 10000 members Of
the order in Iowa. Three times this
number will give the amount in dol
lars paid for membership. This we
find to be s27o,OO0. Take 20 months
as the average time each has been a
member; then each has paid 81 in
dues at 10 cents per month. Add
this to the above amount, and we
have s45o,OOo paid in cash by the
farmers of Iowa to establish the or
der of Patrons of Husbandry and
keep it running 20 months. But this
is not all they have paid. We have
counted nothing for regalia, and
other appurtenanccs; and nothing
for time spent in attending grange
meetings, even to the neglect OF
work. These items would increase
the cost to the farmers Of Iowa to at
least one million dollars Il ,00O,000.l
Now, who can tell where the mo-
ney has gone? Whose pockets are
plethoric with from quarter to q
half q million Of greenbacks "gath.
cred ino by means Of this great
Farmers Movement, this uprising
against monopolies, this war for the
protection of farmers from robbery,
this fight against towns, against rail-
roads, against merchants, against
"middle men," i'm fact against every
class except farmers, and really
against farmers themselves Who
have pocketed the dollars rs result
of all this wonderful commotion
What are the results which may now
be figured up? A few men have
been placed in official places who
could not otherwise have been elect
ed; but what Of that? Have the
people, have the farmers themselves
as class been benefited by eXchan-
ging a few county and township Off.
GERS? Have, the wealth, growth,
happiness, peace and general welfare
of the country been promoted by the
checking of all railroad building and
other internal improvements? Has
the increase of freight rates on corn,
wheat, hogs and cattle to Chicago on.
hanced the farmers profits? Have
his markets been improved by stop
ping the growth of towns. and cities
| in the State? Are his taxes any
lower than hitherto? Have polite
ians been made any more honest
In short, what and where are the
good results of all this vast expendi
ture of cash and clatter? Who car
give US the summing-up?

to oJmand obedience from every
man ithin the sound of his bray.

veryhonest and pious Senator. as a
"dirty blackguard and .driveling
fool, a hound," a " liar" a "com-
mon bolter," follower Of the "dev-

All this because McCully and
Ewait will not admit Mccormack Is
authority to sell out the Democratic
party and transfer oil its members to
the service of himself and the Anti.
Monopoly party. Three short years
ago the man who now thus denoun'
ces these men was supporting them
for Office, and telling the people they
were honest and altogether lovely
They have adhered to the principles
and the name which they then sup
ported and defended. He has left
them to gather crumbs under the ta'
BILE OF another party.
What can our neighbor McCormack
and the party he claims to represent
hnnAto gain by this indiscriminate
and vicious personal war against al
who differ from them In poiitica
opinion All have the same right
to free thoughts and action. Truthful
and temperate criticism Is Legitimate

often and farirly be made persona

warranted license as that given t
