The people of Missouri seem pretty

Convention Called.

The Republican County Central Committee, at
their meeting on Monday, determined, without a
dissenting vote, in favor of holding County Con-
venton, the call for which viii be found at the
head of this column. It will be the largest Del
egate Convention ever held in the County. 1t
was thought that this would dispose of the usu-
al cry that few men would pack the Conven-
tiOn and run it.
There was much diversity of opinion among
Republicans as to the policy of holding Conyen-
tiOn. 1t was argued that Conventions for few
years past had been run in such a way as to dis
gust the people with them, and that nominations
would have the effect of defeating candidates
rather than electing them. The determination
Is now generally expressed, to have a fair deal
all around, without regard to former factions,
and to select men who, while serving the public
faithfully, will at the same time be true to the
party.
Now that Convention has been determined
upon, every Republican should do his utmost to
make it a success. Let all take interest in it,
and see that good, sensible, sir-minded men are
chosen for delegates, and that they attend the
Convention. If good and competent men are
nominated, without the exhibition of personal
feeling or local prejudice, the tricks and chi
canery SO common in political Conventions, the
ticket can be triuPhantly elected. Otherwise,
defeat may be feared The Republicans have
clear majority of 800 in the County, if they do
not foolishly throw it away. If they 60 to work
properly, they can concentrate the party vote,
and be in good condition for next years cam
paign. But it would be better to let the election
20 by default this year, than to nominate a tick
ct, and have it beaten by mismanagement.
Give us good men-men who take an interest
in the cause when they are not on ths ticket, as
well as gfen they are on it-men who will not
forget which party elected them, before the next
election comes round.

A WEDGE IN THE CAAIP.-What would be
thought if an army, on the eve of great battle,
should send to the enemy for officers to lead
them into the fghti Would not everybody look
to see them led to destructioni The Republi-
cans of Ohio have done that very thing. They
have employed Carl Schurz, who has spent the
past five years in efforts to break up the Repub-
ican party, to come and help them in the cam
paign, and especially to make war upon green
backs. And Schurz, while making those speech
es declares that he is not Republican, but still
has faith in the Liberal or independent move,
ment. Col. Grosvenor, another of the same
stripe, is also engaged in the same work. Schurz
is the representative of the German bondholders
and is speaking in their interest. Grosvenor is
in favor of anything that is unprincipled. Those
men understand perfectly well that the Republi,
can party, in warning against greenbacks, is
abandoning its own field, and laying itself at the
mercy of the enemy. That is what suits them
and hence they join in the campaign with pleas.

ScRInEsR's STURYWRrTERs.-The publishers
| of Scrijssr's Monthly announce that DIR. Hol
| lands "Story of Sevenoaks" will be completed
in the December number. They also announce
three new serial stories by American writers
In the November number, which is the first oi
the Eleventh Volume of the magazine, the open
ing installment of Bret Harte's first novel, Cab
riel Conroy," will be given. The publishers say
that the work is now complete IN their hands,
and that it will run for twelve months. "The
scenes and characters are chosen from the an
thOrs favorite field, early California. He has
painted both with characteristic yiyidness and
power; and the work is undoubtedly, in many
respects, the most graphic representation and
best record of phase of life and society, which
was born of the strange materials and exception
al conditions that clustered around the newly
discovered treasures of the territory. No liter
airy announcement of the year is likely TO awak-
en- SO wide interest as this, or to invite such
unhesitating attention"
In the January number a serial story by Ed
ward Everett Hale will begin. The following
notice has been given to the public: "The story
of the Man without Country written some
years ago by Mr.. Hale, produced a profound I'M
preston wherever it was read 1t contained
more than one alnsion to Capt. Nolan, one of
the first American adventures in Texas-the
namesake and kinsman of the Man without a
Country himself This Capt. Nolan is a histori-
cal character, whose life, till few years ago,
was surrounded with no little mystery. He was
a native of Frankfort, Kentucky, a well-educated
young man, remembered as athletic, energetic,
amiable and brave. No period of our history has
more dramatic points of interest than that in
which he and his friendsengaged. They cannot
be said to be Men without Country but they
lived in or near a region which was now Span
ish, now French, and now American, and may
have often doubted to which country the men
belonged whom they met in their adventures.
'Show Your Passportsp was often on their
lips that it may well serve as the subordinate
title of their story, which, in Mr.. Hale's hands,
will be represented with power of fascination
entirely his own"
At the conclusion of the publication of either
of the above novels, "That Lass o. Lowrie's," by
Fannie Hodgson Burnett, will be commenced in
the Magazine. Those patrons of ''ScribRer,r who
have read Surly Tins Trouble" "One Day at
Arle, "The Fire at Grantley Mills" and others
of Mrs. Burnett's short stories, will not need to
be assured, say the publishers, that they have a
rare treat before them in this her first novel.
"Mrs. Burnett is, in truth, one of the most prom
Using writers in America The scene of the new
novel is laid in an English mining town, the
characters are drawn with marvellous power, and
from the first page to the last the interest of the
book is unfagging."

tg~ One of our German friends at Wsthena
takes issue with us, relative to an article con-
cerning Carl Schurz, in last weeks Chief. Among
other things, he asserts that Schurz is good Re-
publican. Now, We cannot blame our friend for
standing up for his distinguished countrymau /;
but when he claims that Schurz is a good Repub-
lican, We beg leave to differ with him. For five
years past, Schurz has done more than any other
man to break down the Republican party. We
are willing to let him speak for himself. In a
recent interview in Ohio, he stated that he had
not renewed his allegiance to the Republican
party, but still had faith in the Liberal or indie
pendent movement. He would not even deign to
speak in behalf of the Republican ticket in Ohio,
were it not for the currency question-and then
he speaks not for the Republican ticket, but for
the German Bondhoders

FIRE AT LINGO Ina destructive fire occurred
at Lincoln, Nebraska, Monday night. During
the progress of play, the Opera House caught
fire, and was burned down. In consequence of
the rush against the doors, preventing them from
being opened, there was for q time great danger
that many lives would be lost. The steam fire
engine had not been used for SO long, that upon
the first attempt to operate it, the concern col
lapsed, and was of no service. They must have
an efficient corps of fremen up there, not to test
their engine often enough to keep it in working
order. And then, any person who will, after all
the terrible experinece from that cause, persist
in building houses of that character with the
doors opening into the hall, ought to be burned
up in one of them. With outward opening doors,
the rush against them would open them, instead
of closing them and imprisoning the audience in
the building.

From The Philadelphia Presbyterian.


From the Worlds Dispensary Printing Office
and Bindery, Buffalo, N. Y, we have received
"The Peoples Common SeTise Medical Adviser,
in plain English; or Medicine Simplifed," by II.
V. Pierce, NJ. D., CounselOr-in-chief of the Board
of Physicians and Surgeons at the Worlds Dis
pensary. Whoever helps humanity in its struS-
Gle with its inherent weakness and diseases to
bear or cure is its benefactOr. Ignorance is not
only of itself a cause of disease and mortality,
but it is the enemy of every effort TO cure or nit
igate Nothing will so speedily remove this
cause as knowledge Gan elementary one at least)
of the disease 70 which we are heir, as well as
those superinduced by our own imprudence.
DR.. Pierce has rendered, in our Judgment, a bene-
factors service, both to the afflicted and to the
prfession in his diagnosis of the diseases treated
of and in the presentation of the philOsophic
PRINCIPLES involved in their cause and removal.
He is sparing of remedies, and usually prescribes
such as are safe in unskiled hands. As a book
merely of abstract knowledge it is exceedingly
readable and interesting, especially the following
ubjects:-Cerebral Physiology, Human Temper
aments, PseudO-Hygene, the Nursing of the Sick,
Sleep, Food, Ventilation, etc. In one chapter on
another subject, delicate in its nature that 1t
is shut up beyond the domain of warning to all
but physicians, accursed in its results in mod
society, he is most explicit, and alike true to
God, to virtue to life, and to society, shows the
truth as presented in the teachings of Scripture,
that life begins with cOnception-with great
force, to which is added faithful warnings.
Price of the Medical Adviser S1.5O, sent post
paid. Address the author at Buffalo, N. Y.

GREENBACKs !

Democratic initiation Of greenbaeks the abandonment OF
all promise of redemption the avowed purpose to deprec
ate them in order to make an apparent rise in prices and
the leaving of the amount issued subject to party major
ity that the Republicans call the rag baby.
This stuff won't begin to go down. What is
termed proposed Democratic imitation, was a bill
passed by Republican Congress, at the request
of the President, and vetoed by him at the solic-
itation of the money ring. Take mp any hard

currency created by a Republican Congress, de.

mean that, but referred to something that is moi

BULLION LoGIC.-The organs of "honest mon.

Thus this borrower returns in five years the
sum of two thousand dollars for the use of only
six hundred dollars. And this is what Eastern
capitalists and their organs are heralding to the
country as "low rates of interest" and the proof
that money is abundant in the West.
VI course the World did not understand the
deceptive character of a Kansas Shylock when
ne advertises money at low rates of interest"
he simply means that he has reduced his rates
from twenty to eighteen or possibly to fifteen
per cent.

siiAMEFrt.-The organs of the money ring 1--WE
mean the Republican papers, for nothing better
can be expected of the other kind) are becoming
more disgraceful every day, in their assaults up
on the national currency. "Worthless rags and
"dishonored promises" no longer fill the meas
of their hate. They have now taken TO CIV
ing illustrations of shinplasters formerly issued
by wildcat banks, saloon keepers, and even the
repudiation stuff of Mississippi in which the
the rebel leader, JEFF Davis, was engaged; and
this trash they compare with the legal tender
notes, the greenbacks issued and endorsed by the
Government of the United States, Such papers
as the Cincinnati Gazette are doing this. Let
them carry out the principle in every direction.
Compare the United States navy to Lafitte's pi-
rate squadron; the United States army to Fall
staff's recruits, and the United States Govern
ment TO the most miserable Central American
Republic. The cause of the bondholders must
win, if it is necessary TO bring the nation in
disgrace to accomplish it.
