"DEAR SIR:-YOu are notified to put yonr
clnb in order for another contest. The Citizens
ticket is simply device to mask the batteries
of the same old Radicasm that has been de-
stroying us for years, and that was hurled back,
covering and dislnayed, by our solid array last
Fall. The time has passed for the discussion of
the merits of candidates. The voice Of the ma
jority of the nominating convention decided
that question, and not only are all Democrats
pledged to its support but the interests of the

EY On the 3Oth of August, the John Brown
monument was dedicated at Osawatomie. The
Grafton was delivered by Senator Ingalls,, and
was very able one. Toward the close, he gave
the man at Washington terrible thrust, for be-
traying the principles for which John Brown
died. We have not room for the entire Grafton !;
but, at the risk of throwing some of the Sena-
tors admirers in this region into tantarums, We
copy one paragraph, which, for bitter sarcasm
and clean strained truth, can scarcely be equal
ed:
"A school of political pigmes whom Providence, for
some nserutable purpose has placed in power are en-
deavOring to pacify the country by debauching its
convictions by asserting that those who sought to
overthrow and destroy the Government are more en-
titled to its favors than those who sacrificed all up
hold it by attempting to obiterate the distinction
between right and wrong and to repeal the laws Of
God. They are seeking to put the new wine of 1877
into the old bottles of 1850 with the probability of
the ultimate loss Of both receptacles and contents.

STRAINED Ham, RUr COULDN'T Do Any
THiNG.-Two weeks ago. we offered to present
the editor Of the Hiawaths Herald with China
wedding, if be would produce an article from
the Chief within the last preceding three
months, endorsing the policy of Hayes. He tries
it, in the last Herald but makes glorious fizzls
mot word has the CkieJ said in favor of the
Southern policy, since it became known that the
Louisiaas Commission was fraud, sent to Loui-
siana by Hayes for the express purpose of be-
trsying the Republicans.
The Herald copies from the Chief Of April Path,
flour months prsviously,) an article endorsing
the Southern policy, upon the strength Of the
report of the Commissioners, which had just been
made, and was supPosed to be honest. 1t copies
from the Chief Of May 10th, moro than three
months before, an item saying that the policy
was unpalatable, but asking that it be given
fair trial. 1t copies or item from tie Chief Of
May Path, pretending to take grumbler to task,
and which was SO clearly intended for sarcasm,
that we are ashamed that even q fool, like the
editor of the Herald, couldn't see it. 1t Itcopes an
article from the Chief of May 31st, in which We
told what Senator Morton said about Hayes
policy, and which contained not single senti-
ment of our own. 1t copies an item from the
Chief of June 7th, stating that Senator Conkling
was bitterly opposed to the Presidents policy
and that it calls an endorsement of Hayes by the
CHIEF. 1t copies from the Chief of June l4th, the
beginning of an article, but leaves out all that
gives meaning to the article, and calls that an
endorsement. From the Chief Of June 2sth, it
copies more sarcasm, and calls that an endorse
ment.
And after all his copying and garblrng, he
proves but one thing-that his name is Annani-
as and Sapphira-and be loses his China we'd
ding.
Now, will the Herald tell us whether it endors-

What A Paradise E!

The American Minister at the
Hague has forwarded to our State
Department some interesting statis-
ties on the social and political condi
ton of Holland. AS an illustration
of the carefulnesS and steadiness of
the Dutch he says that there has not
been "A bank failure in Holland dur
ing the last forty years and that the
paper money of the banks during
that time has been equal to gold.
There is no such thing as the failure
ola fire insurance company on rec
ord, and while the rate of insurance
does not average more than half of
one per cent, the companies are in
the most tiouriShing condition, real
izing II to rs per cent. per annum.
FirsC-class railroad travel is only
one cent per mile, and yet the
roads pay good dividends. Pill
fering railroad officials are scarce
ly ever heard of, and when they shock
the nation by turning up they are
severely punished and forever dis
graced. 80 free passes are granted,
and managers and directors have no
power to pass anybody over the roads
free; all must pay. the public rates.
Dishonesty Of any Kind or failure in
business means public dishonor and
utterly bars the dishonest from any
future public consideration. Four
millions of people live within an
area of $4,000 square miles, and all
appear to be happy, prosperous and
contented. The secret of this pros
perity lies in the fact that all live
within their income, and that indus
try and honesty are principles so
firmly established that their viola
.tion is looked upon as an outrage on
the national characteristics.
Holland is too small to hold the
population of tl,is country, or we
should feel like proposing u general
emigration--provided the climate
and soil would have asilril$r effect
upon all who might migrate tKither.
We rejoice that there is one such
country left on the face of the earth.
