INSULTING TIE LORO.

jim Blaine says "the Lord 5000
years ago made gold and silver the
money Of the world
Why then did the Republican party
have the aUdacity to dtmonetize one
half the Lords money! And why did
the Lord SO soon melt up his coin and
hide it away in the bosom of earth !
Did he suspend specie payment, and
Secrete his hard money as bankers do!
But if Blaine theory is true; it
is then y fact. The Lord when he
created this world put man in it to
cultivate and improve it. and one OF
the grandest improvements he ever
made, upon it IS the invention OF
greenbacks. Io1ra \ationetf$t.

be too narrowly interpreted since in
the Congressional Districts carried by
them the Republicans had majorities
amounting to sc, 1873, while those of the
amounted to only 1876, leaving the
Democrats in minority OF 1l.05S.
This minority is three times as great

But on any showing it would be un-

"BUsINEss IS BUSINESS. !"

In accordance with the custom We
Started two years ago, part of our patrons
found in the post Office this week, a
Statement of account. A portion OF
them we were unable to send out at pres
ent on account of other work. The re-
mainder will be mailed frvm time to
time before. January LIST, 1879. Others
we shall. present in person about the
first of the year. Possibly we shall make
few New Year calls.
While upon this matter we desire to
return thanks for the very general
prompt payment in times gone by and
the general good nature with which our
patrons have accepted their accounts. II
not able to pay at the time few have been
too proud to say SO and made arrange
ments satisfactory to both parties. A
very few have neglected the matter alto
gether and with portion of these we
part company the first of January A. d.
1879. In some instances there may have
been mistakes made upon our part. The
making out of three or four hundred &C
counts is no easy task. Every account
is carried to the ledger, however, and
the mistakes, We think will be few. Ii
any. they will be rectified promptly.
Generally the accounts have been calcu.
lated to tine first of January 1879.

SNOW STORM,

One that made the old residents fall
back upon their memories to think of its
like before. Commencing Thursday
night of last week and lasting all day
Friday, by night of that day the ground
was covered to the depth of twelve OF
fifteen inches on the level. Trade was
almost entirely suspended in town, and
around good fires every one gave himself
up to the reflection that Kansas is hard
to beat.
The passenger train from the south on
Friday was little behind but reported
not much snow below Chauute. The
train from the north was six hours late.
No freight trains passed Friday and Sat-
urday and all trains ran "wild cat" The
telegraph wires below here were broken
by the weight of the snow and sleet in
several places. No mail from points east
of Kansas City were received until Mon.
day night following.
The storm seems to have been a gen.
eral one; extending east and west.

arrested, brought to lola and placed in
the county jail. Shortly after, on the
night Of June 18th. 1870, mob came up
from the southern part of the county,
and by claiming to be from Wilson coun-
ty, with prisoner, was admitted TO the
Jail, whereupon they overcame the sher-
id, Mr.. John Harris, and deputy, John
b.. Walters, took Dolson out and hung
him in an old barn on the town site of
old Oofachique, two miles and q half
southwest of lola. Sheriff Harris and
Deputy Walters recognized Stevens as
one of the mob who were present at the
Jail, and although Stevens testified before
the Coroner's jury that he was not in
lola that night, he was indicted by the
jury and the case set for hearing at the
next term of court. In the meantime,
he was admitted to bail. Stevens
jumped the country and was followed
by those on his bond. re-arrested and
brought back to lola. Afterwards
he escaped and was not heard of
until recently, when he was again appre-
hended, and is now being tried for muir
der in the first degree. At the time
there was considerable excitement in the
county over the deed. More than one
person being implicated though none

merchant or banker having payment
of $50, 600 to make is compelled by cir

The Albany Evening Journal publishe
. letter from ex-United States Treasure
Spinner TO the Hon. George 5. Boutwell,
Of Massachusetts,, in which the forme
thanks the latter for the manly senti
ments expressed by him in speech upol
the Southern question. Mr.. Spinne
says:
When, under Mr.. Pierce's administra
ton, a native of Hungary, who had mo-
been naturalized, but who had simply
made application for naturalization, wa,
seized in foreign port, and carried OF
board of an Austrian man of. war, as 8
subject of that empire, an American frig
ate ranged itself alongside of the Austrian
with its deck cleared for action, and de-
manded the surrender of the man. The
demand was complied with.
These cases, and others, are, of course,
familiar tn you, cite them to show that
while We give perfect protection on for.
eign soil to even our inchOate citizens,
and the same protection to foreign sub
jects within the United States, Ue do not
protect our o,cn citizens on our o,on soil.
In semi-civilized Rome, 1000 years
ago, the declaration, 81 am Roman cit
izen," was perfect shield against harm.
What would the announcement, 81 am
an American citizen" in many of the
States of our Union, be worth
Others may halt and rest where they
may. As for myself, come what may, l
will, with you, go on, until this nation
shall assert itself, and guaranty perfect
freedom of speech and action, to every one
of It's citizens in erery part Of the republic. %
In responding to this letter Mr.. Bout
we'll says:
"The speech ofwhich you write was'not
made for what said in it merely, but l
intended thereby to give notice to weak
kneed Republicans that for one would
no longer tolerate q policy of silence in
regard TO the conduct ofSouthern Demo-
Gratis. In 1877 the Republican party in
Massachusetts, passed resolutions approx
ing the Presidents Southern policy. In
1878 nothing was said. Buffers force
was augmented by this neglect. Thou
sands of Republicans were made indiff
erent to the success of the party when
they saw that the party was indifferent
to the rights of men.
Since the returns from the South there
has been great awakening, and fierce
resolution. would now be passed in hot
haste. Ny successor, Senator Hoar, has
felt the necessity of saying in a public
speech, that the Southern question was
the question of supreme importance.
For one, intend to labor as ] have OPP
portunity for the upturning of this tim.
id policy, and the substitution of a plat
form that can be supported by the ear
nest men of the party.
In 1880 we must nominate men who
are in earnest, who do believe that hui
man blood is better than printers ink,
and who will in good faith use all the
constitutional powers of the government
for the protection of American citizens
in their constitutional rights.
If the rights Of American citizens are
to be surrendered, let the unholy work
be done by Democrats. 1t is in .he line
of their traditions and ideas. Let the
Republican party live an honest life, and
die an honorable DEATH"
This begins to look as if all the back
bone had not been taken out of Repub
licans.
