Hamburg Apologist.

The Advocate copies without disap-
proval long defence of the Hamburg
fiends. This defence says that, "the
Republicans are directly responsible
for all of the race disturbance that
can possibly be construed as of politi-
cal origin which have occurred dur
ing the past four years." If the
ADVOCATE has one reader so great
fool as to believe that, he is truly to
be pitied. To say it is knavery. 1t
is thing not claimed by the south
erners themselves. Their position is
that these negroes have no rights and
therefore are to be destroyed when
ever they become too numerous.
That defence says further: THE
negroes have been organized by their
leaders upon the color line in secret
leagues, many of which have been in
the habit of meeting in armed bodies
at midnight to drill and threaten the
whites" There is not a word Of
truth in that either. 1t is the tabrica-
ton of the trucking Dana, the notori
Gus vilifier and scandalmonger and
model man of the Advocate and, like
the other position, not claimed by
the southern people. 1t is only in
few rare instances, like that of Ham,
burg, where they have taken adyan-
tagc of the laws, allowing them to
organize military companies that
they assume any new privileges.
Whenever they do thus pretend to be
men they provoke the jealousy of the
whites who then invent means to des-
stroy them. When they do this their
lick-spittles in the North, like the
dough. faces before the war, invent
falsehoods to defend them. The man
who can present apology for such out
RACES as the Hamburg affair is dis
grace to civilization.

TIE CENTENNIAL.
The Farmers Tina for Recreation

Now, that the summer crops will soon be
gathered. and our farmers everywhere are
happy over the abundant harvest, together
with the fact that the demand for agricultural
products will be great enough TO realize good
return IN the market, il is well that those OF
our friends who intend visiting the Centennial
have their attention brought 20 the best and
most economical means of reaching the Exhi-
bition now being held to commemorate our
Tooth Anniversary as Nation.
Undoubtedly greater facilities are now af-
forded by the Great TT. Wayne Pennsylvania
Line for reaching the GATEWAY OF THE
CENTENNIAL GROUNDS, than is in the
power of any rival to Offer while for conven-
fence, comfort and economy, none can dispute
the fact that it is the most deirable, shortest
and quickest route to the Centennial depot;
in the immediate neighborhood of good hotels
whose prices range from two to four dollars
per day. and within five minutes walk of the
Main Entrance. thus saving to the visitor the
cost and annoyance of transfer incident to
other lines
Mot the least attractive to our farmer friends
will be the Encampment of the National
Grange of the Patrons OF Husbandry, at Elm
Station, near the Centennial Grounds, on the
line of this road, where ample accommodations
have beck provided for agriculturi.ts, at the
moderate price of two dollars per day. Ar
engagements have been perfected by this line
by which Centennial tickets to Philadelphia or
New York and return, good for sixty days,
can be obtained at any coupon ticket office in
the West.

Farmers Fire Insurance Company.

EDITOR HERALD Having been
secretary and treasurer of the Bloom
ington Farmers Fire Insurance
Company since its organization, and
on the first of June, having sold my
farm and intending soon to remove
from the territory occupied by said
company, meeting of the Directors
was called on the 9Th of July. At
said meeting resigned my several
offices as Director, Secretary and
Treasurer, and NJ. B. ellis Of Bee
town was chosen Director to fill
vacancy, and Michael Hope of Little
Grant was chosen Secretary and
Treasurer.
Any person having farm property
within the limits of the towns of
Bloomington, Glen Haven, Cassville,
Waterloo, Beetown, Little Grant, Mt.
Hope, Woodman, Melville, Patch
Grove and Wyalusing, or in town.
ships within the county adjoining
said territory, wanting to insure in
said company, should, if not called
upon by Mr.. Hope, notify him by
letter or postal card and he will i'm
mediately attend to taking their ap-
plica tons. The Company has now
been in operation little over two
years, is daily growing in strength,
its capital on which to assess to pay
losses amounting to two hundred and
forty thousand dollars ($240,o00)
Having made the business of insur.
ance somewhat of a study for the
past two years | can most heartily
recommend this home company to the
farmers Of West Grant, as safe, re-
liable and not only able but willing to
pay all losses sustained by it. This
company has sustained no loss by
fire yet, but when such loss may oc-
cur its members will promptly re-
spond and each will pay his share
willingly, for he knows his money
goes to make up the actual loss of
neighbor. l would also recommend
to the farmers in other localities,
within this state, to organize Insur.
ance Companies on the same plan
that provided by the General laws of
Wisconsin for 1872, chapter 1913, sec.
81 and have just as safe insurance at
at less cost as you would have in any
foreign company and keep your
money all at home.

A Munificent ReuueSt.

The late Countess Banner, widow of
Frederick VII. of Denmark, left her
property for the maintenance Of an in
stitution for orphan and deserted girls
in Denmark. The property proves to
be much more considerable than was
at first supposed; it has not yet been re-
allied, but it is estimated at 100000
crowns (e393, 750), and will probably
provide for from COG to 500 children.
The castle Of Jagerspris, IN North Zea-
land, which is surrounded by noble
park, is the central building of the new
institution, and will form a museum in
which will be arranged the collections
ofsthe late King, together with other
collections. Houses to receive the
children, on the family system, not
more than twenty in each house, are
being erected around the castle, and
100 children have been received. It is
expected that next year there will be
