IT WON'T CONE UP.

We mean the enthusiasm for Tilden.
There is any amount Of the article man.
ufactured by telegraph, but it is never
actually witnessed. It is like the milk
sickness of the early days of Indiana and
Illinois-always in the next neighbOr-
hood, or in an adjoining county but new
er where it could be seen.
The truth of it all lies in q very small
nutshell-and it is this. The Democrats
know away down in their boots and into
the very marrow of their bones that
their party is not one of either lofty pat
riotism or of loyal devotion of the
country of to-day. Their beau idle of a
government is that of twenty years ago,
and they feel that the one Of this time is
secretly disliked-nOt because it is in
radical hands, but because it is differ
ent from what it once was.
And feeling this. they know that their
leaders do not seek power for higher pur-
poses of craftsmanship, but to get the re-
wards of party success in the spoils of
political power.
And feeling this. they recognize the fact
that man like Tilden, whose chief rec
ommendation is that he has plenty of
money to spend in a canvass, and that
he has been VIGOROUSLY for more than
q quarter of century an active member
and manager of the most corrupt politi.
cal organization ever known in Ameri-
can history-is not Q man to give good
government. How, then, can they en-
thuse? They cannot and they will not,
and that is the end of it.-Kansas City
journal.

ANOTHER successful train robbery was
committed on the night of the 7th inst.
some two miles east of Otterville, a small
station near Sedalia, Mo-, on the Missouri
Pacific railroad. Cross-ties were placed
on the track and a red light placed on
them, seeing which the engineer stopped
the train when it was at once boarded by
q number of masked men. The robbers
at once put the fireman and engineer
under guard when they. compelled the
messenger to give up the keys Of the
express safe, which they at once unlocked
and ira nsferred the contents to a sack.
No one on the train was injured, although
most of the passengers were terribly
frightened. The raiders secured from
$15, 900 to $500.

In the last Presidential campaign the
Democrats as a party supported Horace
Greedy, and they insisted that whatever
other faults he had he was acknowledged
by every one to be honest. Greedy
charged, in an open letter, Tilden with
being party to the frauds perpetrated
upon the citizens of New York. In this
letter Mr.. Greedy said to Mr.. Tilden :
ION the principle that the receiver is a.
bad as the thief, you are as deeply i'm
plicated in them to-day as though your
name were Tweed, O'Brien or Oakley
Hall"

LAST Friday week the country was
startled by the announcement that Gen.
Custer, with five companies of cavalry
had, on the 18th of June Q fight with
the Sioux Indians in which he and all of
his command were killed. The five com.
panies numbered 315, including Is off,
GERS, land not one Of them escaped to give
an account of of their desperate fighting
and horrible death. Gen. Custer was in
command of the advance of the forces
sent out after hostile Ind his orders we've
not to attack until the infantry should
join him I; but when he struck the Indian
trail it is probable he thought they were
retreating and he feared If he waited for
the arrival of the infantry that the In
diaEs would escape. So he divided his
command, taking five companies and
giving seven companies to Major Reno,
who was to intercept the Indians when
Custer should drive them out of camp
Clusters attack resulted Is We have
above stated, and Maj. Reno's command
was driven back to the bluffs of Little
Horn river, where they kept the Indians
ut bay till the arrival of the reinforce
ments, when the Indians withdrew.
Gen. Clusters two brothers, brother-in.
law and nephew are among the killed.

WATER.


One Of the special advantages which
this county Possesses over the treeless
plains Of Western Kansas is found in
lis timber, coal and stone. The average
width Of timber belts is half . mile OF
more, and the quality is excellent, fur
nishing IA reasonable supply for all prac-
teal purposes, as is shown by the fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds $3.50 per cord. In
the eastern and less timbered portion Of
the county coal of fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt lie devel-
oled As the wants Of the county require.
For building and fencing stone of an
excellent quality abounds in many local
tiles, yet Sd disposed as to interfere but
little with the cultivation OF the soil.

Notwithstanding the county has been
settled for many years and contains a
population of over 1000, large bodies of
unimproved lands are yet for sale. These
lands belong to the L. L. & G. and NJ.
X. & T. railroad companies, and are
offered for sale cheaper than such lands
can be bought any where in the United
States where equal advantages exist.
Land capable of producing twenty to
twenty-five bushels of wheat or 50 to IS
bushels of corn per acre is sold at 8. 20
per acre for cash, or 800 on time. Al
most any year, after being reduced to
cultivation, . single crop will pay the
entire cost of the land.
During last season many parties in
this county with less than half their
land in cultivation raised corn enough
when sold at 25c. bushel to pay for the
whole tract. Any one looking for new
location can not fail to appreciate this
fact, especially considelipg the fact that
these lands are surrounded by old SET
Elements, and are convenient to railroads,
towns, mills, school houses, churches and
all the appliances Of civilization. Land
