The YazOo Mob Ordered by the Demo.
cratic Party.

The more the Yazoo County Miss
mob is probed the more odious it be-
comes. 1t was hideous enough as a
mere exhibition of violence on the part
of the Democrats of county famous
for its record of bulldozing. Ii it shall
appear that the mob was actually insti-
gated by leading Democratic politicians
of the State, with view to keep Mis-
sissippi " solid" it will present an in
finitely more hideous aspect. A New
York Tribune correspondent charges
this to be the fact. He says that Con-
gressmen Singleton and Major Barks-
dale, Chairman of the State Democrat
ic Committee, visited Yazoo County
and held q consultation with the local
Democratic leaders. He says further:
They represented to those leaders that it
would never do to allow an Independent party
to be formed in Yazoo; that 1t must be ntpped
pi must be kept "solid." Not many days
passed before the advice given bore fruit in
the Yazoo uprising. On his return to Jack
son, Chairman Barksdale issued a circular to
the Democratic Conservative party" Of Mis-
sissippi, the concluding paragraph Of which
reads as follows: " Relieved from the menace
of organized opposition, maiorities are apt to
become Indifferent to the maintenance OF their
own organization, and to divide among them
selves. 1t should be remembered that the re-
forms which have been inaugurated can be
perfected and carried out only by rigid ad-
herence to the discipline and observance Of
the methods by which the victories OF 1873,
'76, and ~ were won."
If this statement is true, and there is
every reason to believe and none to
doubt it, the mob-spirit was inspired by
the official representatives of the DEM
ocratic party of Mississippi. The Chair
man of the Democratic State Commit
tee, supported by a Democratic Con-
gresham, goes to Yazoo County, holds
a consultation with the local Democrat
ic leaders, and orders for the formation
of the mob are deliberately issued. In
a few days the mob assemblies and forces
Dixon, the Independent candidate for
Sheriff, to retire from the canvass.
Then follows the circular to the "Dem-
ecratic Conservative (p) party of Mis-
sissippi," in which Major Barksdale,
the official head of the Democratic par
ty, uses such language as would be ap-
propriate in the address of General to
his troops after a successful engage
ment. He defines the nature of the
campaign carried on,-defines it SO
clearly as to. leave no doubt that the
shotgun policy is to be continued. He
actually says that "the methods by
which the victories of 1875, '76 and III
were won" are to be pursued "rigid1y."
We all know what those methods were.
They were comprised in single word
.'bulldozing," = mobs, hangings,
shootings, terrorism, intimidation, and
frauds upon the ballot-boxes. The Dem
ocratic party of Mississippi throws off
its mask. 1t declares through the
Chairman of its State Committee that
"Yazoo and all Mississippi must be
kept solidr' And by the side of Major
Barksdale, supporting and countenanc-

A Good Chance for Immigrants

A Good Chance for Iumigrants
CEDAR VALLEY, Jan. "a
DEAR OLD NEws.-For several DAYS
the snow has been gradually leaving the
earth, and today the ground is quite
bare.
Nearly One-halfthe corn is yet to gather
For the last six weeks the wheat has
had better winter covering than we ev
er saw in Kansas before. 1t is coming
out now all right
Immigrants are again on the move for
this state, and the prospects are good for
many more if what "they say" is any in
dication for the future.
As your paper reaches many eastern
people, We want to say that the western
part of this county is very thinly settled.
The land is nearly all owned by non-res-
idents and the railroad, and can be
bought at quite a low price, I should
think from 50 to 50 per acre, without
timber or water. This is as fine body
of upland as can be found in Kansas 1t
is about ten miles long and from three
to six wide. We think it nice location
for a colony. Good water can be OBJ
tanned at from 25 to 35 feet. Wood can
be purchased at So per cord, or cut on
shares by giving One-half. This land all
lies on the east side of Cedar, and nearly
all in sight of its timber. But little land
to homestead, and what can he is of an
inferior Quality.
A portable saw mill is now ON Cedar,
and native lumber can be purchased at
81 per 1OOft. Fine building stone can
be easily obtained for building purposes
or fencing. One of the finest Touring
mills in the west is at Cedar Point, and
all kinds of goods about as cheap as any
where. Yours truly, AV.

On Wednesday, the 22d inst, the Coun-
ty Horticultural Society held its second
meeting for the year in Fowler's hall,
which, on account of meeting of the
directors of the Grange store called TO
meet at the same hour, was not as large
ly attended as it was expected. A good
many others found themselves pressed
with other engagements at this hour, and
so could not come. The principal sub
ject for consideration being one of the
most vital importance TO the people, it
is to be regretted that more could not
afford few minutes to the meeting.
1t is estimated that in this state there
is invested in horticultural work of all
kinds 81, 497, 4S3, One-third of which is

Try It.

A gentleman now here who has had
a large experience in fruit raising and
handling trees, gives us the following
remedy for the destruction or prevention
OF insects upon trees, small fruits, roses
etc. 1t is simple, requires little trouble
and is cheap. We recommend a trial
Take one pound of arsenic, and alcohol
enough to cut or dissolve it. When dis
solved add sixty gallons of water. Make
tin tube about a foot and half long,
and an inch and half in diameter, and
cover one end with perforated tin.
Make hammer which will force the So
luton through the perforated end and
throw the solution over the tree. One
application is often sufficient, but if nee
essary make more. He says this remedy
is effectual. 1t will kill OF drive all in
sects from the trees. A solution of to-
bacco, called tobacco tea, made from
boiling the stems of the weed, is also
good. Try them and report the effect.

In our judgment the best hotel in To
peka is the Fifth Avenue It Is the fin
est looking and best finished hotel in the
city. Its rooms are well furnished and
beds clean; its table is good and walters
well trained; and its prOprietOrs are ac-
cOmmodatlng and courteous gentlemen.
Everything about the house Is so quiet,
orderly and tasteful that the roughs give
II wide berth.
We are not in the habit of doing gra-
tuitOus advertising for hotels, and make
an exception in this case for the reason
that its present prOprietors, T. j. Hankla
& Bros, have made il q temperance hotel.
Before they took possession, about year
ago, they bought up the lease of the bar
room and closed it. This room has re-
NAMED empty ever since, although it
could have been rented ut q high price
for saloon purposes. These gentlemen
have made no noise about the matter, but
have done what they have as q matter of
principle. Now we submit that temper
ance men, when they visit Topeka, ought
to patrOnize this Tor some other temper
ance house, in preference to those that
run bar" and we ask temperance ed
itOrs throughout the state to give these
facts to their readers. The only way to
reach this hotel groggery nuisance is to
convince landlords that bar will drive
away more custom than it brings.-Man-
haitian Nationalist.
The Nationalist is correct The Fifth
Avenue is a most excellent hotel, and we
cordially recommend it to our readers.

The Cow PAsTURE-HOw nice, en-
terprising, and progressive 1t is to keep
Emporia like big COW lot, without
shade trees, and most of the streets as
bare in the middle of the summer as in
winter. We ought to have beautifully
shaded streets, adding largely to the
value of property, and to the pleasure of
life. But our city Is a cow pasture.
There are no more shade trees on our
streets now than there were five years
ago. 1t is a reproach to our boosted in
telligence and enterprise, and the sooner
we furnish protection to shade trees the
sooner we will have an attractive city.
We don't ask the council to shut up the
cows-for cows vote, and mustn't be
fooled with. But why not authorize all
who wish to set their walks and fences
or make extra fences, far out and keep
them out as many years as they may de
sire, for the purpose of protecting the
shade trees from cows and horses, the
latter being the worst of the two. Let
US have an ordinance directly authoriz-
ing this, so that people may know what
TO depend on. Nothing less will do,
and this matter of protecting shade trees
has been too long neglected. Now
comes another planting season, and such
an ordinance is needed without delay.
A barb wire fence with one line of boards
on il, would be cheap, effectual and safe,
and if duly authorized for a number of
years, would result probably in thous-
ands of shade trees being put out this
