THE Howl OF DEMAGoGUE.-The editor of
the Bulletin, last week, seizing upon the state
ment of the County Treasurer that S95, 900 was
levied for taxes in Doniphan County, in 1877,
proceeds, like the demagogue that he is, to howl
most dismally against the leaders of the Republi-
can party. He makes the assertion that the
people of Doniphan County are taxed s95, 900 a
year for the privilege of being members of the
Republican party. He knows he is lying when
he says this; and he knows that he is lying by
inference, when he insinuates that the County
authorities responsible for the above amout of
tax. The County Board levied just S2O,5O0 of
taxes. OF this amount, the law compelled them
to levy $14, 600, and they had no option but to
fx the levy required by law. This leaves Just
800 that the Board levied for expenses under
their own control. The State tax is levied BY
the State, and the County Board has no con troll
over it whatever. The State school tax is lew
led BY the Constitution, and even the 'Legisla.
ture cannot change it. The City taxes concern
but Q small proportion of the people of the
County. This brings us to the bulk of the enor.
mous tax of $4,000, over which the Bulletin
tears its shirt. More than $50 900 of that amount
is District School tax. That tax is levied by
the people themselves. Every voter has voice
in its levy, and the people alone are responsible
for It. When the Rmlietis charges that the peo-
pie are robbed by the leaders Of the Republican
party, it charges the people themselves, both
Democrats and Republicans, yes, and Green
hackers, with being robbers. Nothing but the
most contemplate sbyster would be so presum-
ing - to attempt to work upon the feelings of
the people by crying out against an act of their

p- Now, look out for removals of Federal off
GERS in New Hampshire. Two of the Presidents
appointees in that State have been willfully vio-
lating his order, by taking part in political
convention, and taking prominent part in con.
trolling its action. Messrs. Tuck and Hartman
two Naval officers, went into the Republican
State Convention, where they made fierce and
abusive attacks npon VIM. E. Chandler, and
worked with all their power to secure an en-
dorsement of the President by the Convention.
OF course, such conduct cannot be passed over

ly George II. Pendleton has been elected
United States Senator by the Ohio Legislature.
Barring a little swindle against the Government,
in which he was detected at the time of Secre-
tary Belknaps fall, he is as good man as the
Democrats Of Ohio have. Such small matters
as that do not affect the standing of Democrat.
Republicans only are rascals when they swindle.
Pendleton is a Greenback man-and a little
more. He was the author of the doctrine, a few
years ago, that virtually amounted to repndia-
ton of the national debt. While Hayes and
Sherman are blindly doing the bidding of the
Eastern gold-ring, their own State sends a man
to the United States Senate who would repudi-
ate the bonds in toto. If those Eastern chaps
are wise, and even possess the instinct of self
preservation, they will let mp on their schemes of
financial ruin, and listen to the mutterings of
the popular voice, before the storm comes.

Hog Cholera.

EDITOR CHIEF:-Please say to your readers that

provided the aforesaid farmers will enter into the
following covenants with me:
l. They must move the hogs to a lot, or pay
for the dsinfectants to cleanse the old ones.
q They must kill or quarantine all hogs in which
the disease is apparent.
g. The herd must be provided with PURE WATER
either by drawing from ceansed well, or by cleans
ing brook water.
(V Special pains must be taken to prevent the
hogs Tor cattle after which they feed) from drinking
ditch water, the sewage of the pigpen or cattle
lot, or the drainage of any other hog lot.l
T. The well must be protected from this sewage or,
where wells impossible the water must be either
boiled or disinfected
5. In a community where hogs run at large, the
pen must be protected from contact with outside hogs
even to the sucking pigs.
6. During the trial, the hogs food must be thrown
where he can eat it without its being wallowed in
filth.
When all this is done, will undertake to disnfect
the hogs, inside and out-lungs liver guts blood,
and all.
This done, and the hogs turned to clean water and
clean lot, the disease is at an end.

n The Eastern bondholders' organs are now
trying to drive Western and Southern Congress
men and Senators from supporting the silver
bill and repeal of resumption, by ridicule. They
call them sold Men, Afraid of Their -Constitu-
ents." They insinuate that many of these Wes-
tern and Southern Congressman are not person
ally favorable to the repeal Of the Resumption
act, to reconciliation of silver, but that they
vote that way for fear of their constituents.
We would like to know what men are elected to
Congress for, if not to represent the wishes of
their constituentsi 1t would he all lovely, if
those members should vote to please the Eastern
gold -grabbers and foreign bondholders, regard
