REPUBLICANS, TAKE NOTICE

At the request of many Republicans
the time for electing delegates to the
Republican county convention on the
Goth has been changed in all the coun
try precincts from 80 p. m, as at first
announced, to 3p. IN. All Republicans
should make a note of this.
The day for holding the convention is
also changed from Friday, Goth, to Sat
urday, eth Saturday seems the most
suitable day for holding the convention
Ii was fixed on Friday because the com
mitiee had invited General John A.
Logan to address the Republicans on
the day of the convention, and it was
supposed that day would suit him best
The committee has since received word,
that on account of sickness and a large
number of previous engagements, the
general cannot possibly be here, and
consequently the day is changed to Sat
urday to accommodate the people.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The public school system of the
United States has got to be a colossal
affair. The printed report of the COM
missioner of education for 1879, shows
that the income for all the States and
Territories. Wyoming not included, to
be $50, 1896, 1G6 and the expenditures,
Wyoming included, $50, 233, 45S. The
school population for 80 states and tern.
tories, is IA, T27, 749. Number of Normal
schools, 152, with 1889 instructors, 81
0s2 pupils, and 6, 1903 graduates, of whom
1874 are teaching. Ohio reports the
greatest number of Normal schools-14.
But the most significant figures of the
report are those in regard to the popula-
ton Of school age. Nearly $4,000 900
children to educate every year. Is it
any wonder that public education-the
Development and shaping of the minds
of 100000 children soon to be men
and women-has become a subject that
engages the attention and efforts of the
best minds in the country. OF all the
motives powers which now exist to
mould the destines of nations never can
compare with the power of the educa-
ton afforded by the public schools of
the United States.

The New York papers evidently feel
that business is revIving. The Tribune
notes with commendable pride the fact
that AN unusual number of merchants
from the east. west, northwest, south
west and south have been overlooking
the hotels for the past few weeks, and
that old merchants are every day greet
ing old customers that have not been
seen In three, five and even six years.
This indicates a return to the old system
of doing business, which has for several
years been displaced by commercial
travellers. y more settled and prosper
GUS condition of trade is causing return
TO the system that brought the retail
merchant To the Wholesale house twice a
year, made him personally acquainted
with wholesale dealers and established
that feeling of mutual confidence with
out which business cannot flourish.

REPUBLICANS. TO WORK

The Republicans of Lyon county
should remember the primary meetings
next Saturday, September Goth, at 8 p
m, in the country precincts, and 80 p
m, in the wards of the city, for the cleo
tion of delegates TO the county conven
ton. Let every Republican make his
arrangements TO attend these meetings.
The committee thought it best TO make
the convention SO large in number as to
amount practically to a county mass
meeting, and thus place the power TO
fix and manipulate delegates out of the
question.
1t is the Intention Of the committee to
have some prominent speaker present to
address the Republicans after the con.
vention is over, if one can be obtained
for the occasion.
Now, Republicans, give an hour or so
to these meetings next Saturday. Let
us thoroughly organize. 1t is not "a
walk over" now for Republicans in this
county, as in former years. Elect none
but the best Republicans to the conven-
ton, and when the ticket is made let us
all unite and elect it by booming ma
iOritics

The Evangelist has an idea that if
there are .ill-mannered Hebrews, that
race has not a monopoly of unpleasant
habits. 1t is fair enough to say:
"Alas too many of our own people are
ill-bred and offensive. On the streets, in
the cars, at the hotels, lectures, concerts,
and even at church, ill-mannered people
are frequently met. There are Ameri-
cans enough who would feel insulted
were they not called christians, whose
conduct in public places, whose loud
behavior, and pushing disposition, and
greedy selfishness, are as offensive and
repulsive to gentle and refined natures
as anything attributed TO the Jews. 1t
is really, at the bottom, not question of
race or religion, but of department and
disposition; and it is against bad man.
ners and a mean spirit that the protest
should be made"

The Ingersoll convention met at Gin
cinnati, Sept. -, with nearly two hun
dred delegates in attendance Address
es were delivered by Hon. Elizur Wright,
president of the league, and by Prof
Tookey of Boston. Resolutions were
adopted demanding the free transporta-
ton through the mails o. all books,
pamphlets and papers, irrespective OF
the religious, irreligious, political and
scientific views they may contain, so
that the literature of science may be
placed on an equality with that Of super
stitiOn; opposing the dissemination
through the mails, or any other means,
of obscene literature, whether inspired
or uninspired, and expressing contempt
for its authors and disseminators de
handing the repeal of laws regarding
obscene literature until certain passages
in the bible are eXpunged; plcdging
themselves to use their influence for the
candidates for public Office who will pub
licly declare for absolute seculariZation
of the government; and recommend that
the state and auxiliary leagues act to-
gether on political questions. The priest

EMPoRIA, Kansas, Sept. I'd, 1879.
Emporia is about 60 miles southwest
of Topeka. 1t, like the capital of the
state, has nearly, if not quite, doubled
the number of its buildings within the
last eighteen months. The Atchison.
Topeka 81 Santa Fe railroad, has located
its machine shops here, and is now build
ing the largest warehouse IN the west
which. when completed, will accOmmo-
date thirty-two iron horses that go can
tering over this great road. If any of
your readers should come west, let them
stop at Emporia and spend at least three
days, and they will never regret it. Thus
far, in Kansas, the crops are good, eX-
cept fruit, which is as scarce as il is in
Warren county.
Just before left home beggar by the
name of Jenny, called at my house beg
ging money ITO secure n home for his
family in Kansas" | gave him some
money. He is tall man, wearing a lit
tie green suit of clotl es, blind in one
eye with a green patch over it. His
story is: 'that he had his eye knocked
out, arm and ribs broken by stage
turning over while crossing the noun
tains in Virginia, thereby disqualifying
him for work; and that his daughter has
the consumption, and that they are very
needy, and are really and truly objects
of charity" Said Jenny has good
house and lot in Emporia, nicely finish
ed and well furnished with Brussels car
pet, good organ, upholstered furniture
His daughter, am told, is a graduate
of the State Normal School here. She
and her mother dress in silk and drive
out in livery stable buggies. This man
is a good carpenter and built his own
house and others here, which were shown
to me. His wife l saw on Sunday last,
dressed as nicely as any lady l saw in
Emporia. This man, / have been in
formed, leaves home early III spring, Gin
March this Year, and is gone until late
in the fall, when he returns home with
his money that he has lied out of the
people. He is a downright fraud, and
should be drummed out of the country;
suppose he is by this time in Lincoln
county, Missouri, or west of it. Give
no beggaIo from Kansas anything" is the
advice from Kansas. c. w. SEXTON.
