A Cold November.

Mr.. EDITOR:-On the morning Of
November 22d, 1875, l arose with
a strong suspicion that l had Rip
Van-Winkled about six week., and
had awoke in the midst of the Win
ter holidays. The mercury stood
at zero; and for fall chickens and
cotton-clothed humanity, it was no
joke. Did the Oldest inhabitant,
(Methuselah included) ever know
Of such cold weather in this lati-
tude before? Let Mister man rise
and relate his past, if he has any.
The 23d was more moderate, and
the mercury hung lovingly around
the thin ties for several days, until
last Monday morning; and then the
quicksilver just crawled into its
hole. From 6 to 8 degrees below
zero Is reported; ana next DAY the
thermometer Tailed as low as 40
below zero. For several years past
Winter has claimed big slice of
March, and the mercury has touched
zero as late as March 18th; and
now large chunk is given off from
November. What are we coming
to? Folks have been accustomed
to expect snow and sleighing in
November, but zero weather is new
and startling. ] hope this fnnova-
tion is not to be permanent.

On the oath Of November, 1875.
Vim. B. Astor, of New York, died
at his residence, 372 Fifth avenue.
lie was 81 years of age. There is
nothing remarkable about the man;
but his princcly fortune made him
widely known. The estimate of
the Astor estate is $150,000,000.
Astor owned $500 houses and lots
in New York City, and paid taxes
to the amount of $2,0OO,OO0. He
was noted as quite liberal in deeds
of charity: but not as much so as
his wife, who died several years

peals to such editors az Baker, OF
the Detroit Tribune; Quinby, of the
Free Press; Scrips, of the Ercning
Nrws, and George, of the Lansing
Rrpubliean, to back him, so he may
have comfort to his aching heart
and not lose his mind entirely. OF
course, They will agree, for it's no
small piece of bread and butter
that some Of them, at least, obtain
from such printers as Holden, by
inducing them to give work which
they Country printers) can do them
selves as well as not; and which
would speak far more strongly Of
their enterprise and ability, by be-
ing printed in their own papers.
Holden makes frank confession
of his true condition, when he says
"Most mcn need educating before
they will accept great truths, and
especially, if they be preached for
the first time" lie says it "takcs
time to set these things right"
"Educating." indeed! We have
heard of the slow, laborious tasks
of missionaries converting heathen;
but never fully realized the magni-
tude of the labor they perform un-
til we undertook to convince Tlol-
den of his error in regard to the
plain meaning of a law. It's OBJ
stinacy; nothing else!

CONE HoME!-There is just now more wire
pulling, cunning trickery, lying and two-faced-
ness going on to "fx up" delegates to the Peo-
pies Convention than was ever seen in the Re-
publican ranks, in its worst days. 1t is plain,
that the boys on the streets notice it. Their
success last Fall elated them so much, that they
think they have the County in their own hands,
and there is scramble for the offices. There are
some good men who expect to be candidates be-
fore their Convention; but few of the old ring
leaders setting up and selling out delegations
in advance. Talk about Republicans fixing up
slate beforehand! Why, this "Peoples" party
can beat them at that and give them odds.
Their ticket is already principally made up, and
the small fry will be disposed of to the adyant-
age of the leading candidates. Those Republi-
cans in this new concern, who have any regard
for the old party left, had better embrace the
present opportunity to get back; for they will
find that they have fallen into a nest of bigger
shysters than the Republican party could ever
produce.

THE GRANGE.-A correspondent, this week,
writing relative to the Grange, remarks that the
Republican papers have almost universally op-
posed the Grange. As far as the Chief is concern
ed, we believe we have given the Grange general
encouragement. Our columns have been open
for the publication of anything they had to offer
and they have availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity literally. Bat why have Republican pa
pers opposed the Grangei They did not do so
at the start and many Republicans went into
the Grange. We can tell our correspondent the
cause of the opposition. The Grange was no
sooner fairly on its feet, then designing men be-
gan to use it for political machine. Men who
conld not be elected to public office, went into
the Grange, and started the reform business.
Things were all going wrong, and the Republi-
can party had made them wrong. The Grange
must dive into politics, and must defeat the Re-
publican ticket. A member of the Grange who
accepted Republican nomination voted
Republican ticket, was denounced as untrue to
the order. 1t has been SO in this County, and
our correspondent knows it, The leaders of the
peoples" party prominent men in the
Grange Don't tell MS that the Grange is not
political machine. The design of it may not have
been uch, but that is what it has been used for
And wherever they have elected men to Office,
shysters. Bring the Grange back to its legiti-
mate sphere, and you will not find the Republi-
can papers opposing it.

HOW TO KILL A TOWN.
some Plain Facts 10 Take Under Consider
tion.

An exchange says if you want to buy an article
of furniture, instead of going to the dealers in the
town in which you live, send to some distant city
for tit sounds much larger to say, 1--WE sent
to Chicago st. Louis for it," If you are fortu-
nate enough to have q baby in the house, and
your wife wants carriage for it, send out of
town and let your home dealers live as best they
can without yOur patronage. Your wife wants
a silk dress or nice shawl; don't 60 near your
home dealers, but send to some distant city and
have il sent to you by express, then let your
wife tell the neighbors that there was nothing in
town that suited her, and that she had to send
to Chicago, New York or Boston. If you want a
barrel of -four, send to some distant city mills
and get it, pay dollar more on the barrel, be-
sides the freight and don't even try your home
mills it can't be as good because it is ground at
home. If yOu want sleigh, buggy or carriage,
before going to our home manufactures, send
east for one, and let your home factory live on
repairs. We know of a man in this city who
sent east for carriage, and after paying the
freight from New England to Kansas, offered to
trade it for one made here and give $50 TO boot,
when he could have bought one for the same
price he paid for his without the freight. He
should have visited his home factory first, and
got what he wanted.
Where there are SO many who act upon the
principle of sending out of town for everything
they want, is it any wonder that our home faeto-
ries and merchants complain of hard timesi Is
it not strange that they succeed well they
dot We have right here at home too much of
sending away for everything Patronize your
home merchants and mechanics, and see what a
difference il will make.

JUsTCE.-The only announcement in our pa
per for Justice of the Peace is that of S. R. Shep,
herd. If elected, he will make No. officer, be.
ing thoroughly qualified in every respect. He
is one of the pioneers of Kansas, having resided
here more than twenty years. He carried gun
in the old Free State ranks, and for about two
years was hustled about over the State with the
balance of the Free State settlers. For some
years he conducted the .old Kansas Tribune, at
Topeka, and held the Office of Secretary of State
during the unexpired term of John W. Robinson,
period of almost one year. In point of ability,
experience, and citizenship, it will be seen, he
stands among the very best. He has taken up
his permanet residence in Troy.
