For Senator Hon. w. II. McCardle.

1t is not out Of order to discuss
the question of the senatorial sue
payers propose to carry our next
legislature. 70 assert otherwise is
an imputation on their courage and
intelligence. The little army ofad-
ventuers who ten years ago put rings
into the noses OF the negroes and
have been driving them as team to
carry off plumber might as well
make up their minds to retire. The
people have made up Tiers that
they shall. Hence l say it Is in Or
der to nominate candidates for the
Senate and | beg leave to present
the name of Hon. William IL. Nc
Cardle of the Viclksburg Herald,
who more than any other ten men
in the state has contributed to that
feeling which bids fair to give us
victory IN November. He has been
the chevalier of this new movement
to free Mississippi from carpet-bag
rule, and has inspired through his
brave and able articles in the press
moro than any one else the purpose
now firmly rooted in the minds Of
our people to have an end of the
spoiiation and outrage which has
been going on in our state for over
eight years. Thoroughly informed
on public questions, fine speaker
and orator identified for thirty
years with the other and better days
of Mississippi, know none better
entitled TO the honor or who could
discharge its every duties. with more
ability and courage. SENEE

NETWORK TRIBUNE ,
s"Fhe Lending American Newspaper"
FOUNDED BY HORACE GREELEY.

TN THE RECENT ELECTIONS THE
/ people have declared in favor of hon
esty III politics and independence i'll jour
nalisIn. The Tribune, which years ago
declared that it was not and never would
be a party organ, claims the verdict, as
the popular vindication Of its course, and
recognizes in the result the voice OF the
people for reform and integrity in govern
ment, for candor and independence
among newspapers. During the CAM
paien which has Just closed The Tribune
has fully maintained its right to the title
of the leading American Newspaper
This position it has earned and retains
for the following, among other reasons:
Ii publishes all the news, earlier, more
fully and more intclligently than any 9th

1t insists on peace throughout the
whole country, the right of local self
government, and the protection of all
classes in the exercise OF their just and
legal rights.
1t advocates confidence and good feel
ing between North and South, and labors
for an honest and abiding reconciliation.
1t maintains fairness and candor toward
all public men ana quesUlOrs, and dignity
and courtesy toward associates and rivals.
1t publishes scientific news, reports dis
cussiOns and discoveries to degree OF
fullness and accuracy never before attain
ed by any newspaper.
1t gives every week ten r more columns
of the most carefully prepared agricutu-
raj matter during the year, much more i'll

During the heavy rain at Homer,
Ohio, on Wednesday last, farmer
whose crop had been ruined by the
continued wet weather was struck
speechless while bitterly cursing the
storm. He has since given no sign
of recovering his speech.
A certain publisher gets his wife
to read the manuscript of Juvenile
books offered to him, to his little
daughter, and if the child enjoys the
story he accepts it He argues that
his little girl has about the average
child intelligence, and if the BOOK
failed to please her it would never
interest other children.
In the garden of the late Andrew

twenty inches long. The greatest
achievement of :his cat was the cap

three pounds. The animal cornered

though not yet completed, will prob
ably show that Boston has a popu-
lation of 1000, Worcester sc, 200,
Lowell $4,000, Fall River from 49,
COO to 5000, and Cambridge some
what more than Fall River. All the
cities of the State, save Newbury-
port aud Salem, have increased in
population since 1870. The farming
towns, as in New York, have either
lost population or remain stationa-
ry. The total population of the
State will probably be about 1885,
600, an increase of about 100000
over the census return of 1870. The
aggregate products manufactured
for the year ending May 1, 1875, are
expected to amount to $1,000 =

Hans Andersen.

The death of Hans Christian An
dersen is announced by cable, and it
will bring q pang of grief to more
hearts than the decease of q dozen
Emperors. He died Wednesday,
Aug. 1lLh, at his home in COpenha-
gen, Denmark, seventy years and
four months old. 1t is but short
time since, on the occasion of his
birth day, that all the world sent
him loving gifts and messages from
the children whom his fairy tales
had delighted and instructed. He
was born April I'd. 1905, at Odense,
Denmark His father was poor
village shoemaker, and the early ed
ucrtiOn of Hans was only what he
could receive at q charity school.
He became, however, the protege of
q cleTgyman's widow, and with the
facilities for acquiring knowledge
grew q passion for 1t. Later he be-
came q workman in q factory, but
his leisure hours were devoted to
study, and his ambition was to be an
actor. He tried his vocation in
Copenhagen, and, fortunately for
the world, he failed. He wrote
plays which he could not get acted
and was dreadfully poor. Finally,
a gentleman at court took him IN
der his and he was admit
ted to one of the Government Col
leges. He began to attract pubic
attention by his poetry. AS far back
as 1874 the Government granted him
an annuity, and he devoted himself
to literature. He is best known to
the world by his stories and fables
for children, in which his exquisite
immagination created new spheres
of enjoyment for young minds and
hearts. His published works num-
Der some thirty-five volumes.

The following is a simple mode OF
rendering water almost as cold as
ice, without the use of ice: Let the
jar, pitcher, or vessel be surround
ed with one or more folds of coarse
cotton kept constantly wet, The
evaporation of the water will carry
off the heat from the inside aud re-
duce IL to freezing point. In In
dia aud other tropical regions where
ice cannot be produced, this method
of proceeding is common.

soaking and scalding In syrup, they
are delicious accomplishment to

branded peaches. The peach whis-

A FARMERs OPINION ABOUT POL
ITICS.


ITICS.
EDITORS NEWS We read your re-
cent article "Dots Politics Pay ?'' and
have medItated over it at considerable
length. We firmly believe that there
Is ample room for reform In our pOlitl-
cal circles, and the proper way to get
such subjects before the people is to
discuss them In our public journals.
The cause of the downfall of SO many
OF our Kansas politicians seems plain.
Has it not been the abuse of public
trust that has caused the people to
lose confidence in their public SER
wants? We think 1t has. We do not
claim that all officials have erred. We
know that some have, and hence the
detriment of all by the mass of the peO-
pie. Now how are we to restore the
confidence of the people, unless it is to
elect honest and competent persons to
office. But some say where evil you
find them? You cannot find them In
Kansas. You will be Obliged to i'm
port them from some other country"
Did you, Messrs. Editors, ever live in q
country where the people had so little
confidence in one another as do the
Kansans? We never did. There has
been a cause for all this. There have
been too many axes to grind, and the
people have been turning the grind
stone, and few leading spirits have
been holding the AK and getting the
spoils, while the mass of the people
have been humbugged and swindled
to An extent that Is Unprecedented in
the history of any country, and they
are themselves to blame for it. AS
long as the mass of the people keep
themselves In ignorance and stay away
from political conventions, and allow
a few designing persons to run the pol
tiles of the country, corruption will
hold high carnival over the land. 1t
is every honest mans duty to see to it
that honest and competent persons are
chosen to fill places of public trust.
We hear it said frequently, "Well, 1 I'M
derstand that you are a candidate for
official honors." Now this sounds per-
fectly ridiculous to us. 1t looks as
though the candidate was crowding
himself upon the people. Let the peO-
pie say who the candidates are. Let a
delegate convention be called and the
county or State be fully represented.
Let the best and most competent men
be chosen as candidates to ill the diff
ferent offices to be voted for ut the
coming election. This does away with
wire pulling and running over the
country, subsidizing votes to extent.
Let the Office seek the man, and not
the man the office. II we can succeed
In this DaOdus operdndi we believe the
confidence of the people in Kansas pol
tiles can be restored. 1t has got to
such n point that q conscientious and
honorable man Is lOath to let his name
be used In connection for any Office OF
public trust. But because some de-
signing men have crowded themselves
upon the people with their money and
electioneering clap-trap, Is no reason
that we have not got honest men by
any means. We are no longer par
tisan. We will go for the man and not
party, hencefOrth and forever, If we
keep our senses. RURAL.
