Of visiting the western portion Of the State, we in
company with Dr. Myers LEFT Troy on the Eth inst,
TO take IN its Deauues. Before we LETT, we promised

AT hiawatha We saw some OF the hnest stock in
Kansas. The fair had just closed, and the premium
stock that wore away the ribbons cannot be eIceed
anywhere. Brown County stock men justly are en-
titled to the reputation gained breed

West Wilkinson as geninl as ever, and all hands in
the Courier Office happy. West furnished us with o

The SAME EvERYwHERE.-When President
Hayes and party passed through Hannibal, Mo-,
on their way to Kansas, they were insulted by 9
gang of roughs assembled at the depot The
better class of citizens have denounced the act
but the net itself stands forth as q genuine
sample of true Southern Democracy. Mis-
souri, is making huge efforts to secure emi
grafton, which, to be of any value, must como
from the North. But she will never get it it
any large quantity until the article of Southern
Democracy is put under. Wild beasts and rat
tlesnakes are less Questionable to civilized peo.
pie. The average Southern Democrat canno,
permit any man to hold political views autago-
nistic to his. Men of the North may come to
him with medicine, food and clothing, and rel
cue him from death by disease and starvation.
He will be thankful until he learns that his ben
efactors are Republicans, when he will repay
them by loading his shotgun and numbering
them. No man will be allowed to develop, build
mp, and enrich the South, unless he is q Demo
crat. A desolate wilderness is preferable.

INFAMoUs.-The way prosperity is booming
all over the country, and the good effects of re-
sumption are being felt, knocking Greenback-
ism into a cooked hat, and fattening out the
Democracy, is simply infamous. Prosperity is
only "letting on" as a trick to aid the Repub-
licans. Here, only last week, $40 OOO, 900 moro
Of gold arrived from Europe. and it is about the
same every week. Up in Massachusetts,, where
Ben. Butler is bowling ruin, q number of large
factories have just increased the wages of their
operatives ten per cent. At the Ohio Republi-
can meetings, especially where Blaine speaks in
favor of resumption and protective tariff, the
workingmen from the factories, furnaces and roll
ing mills turn out en- masse to hear him. At
Bellaire, the other day, Senator Thurman ad-
dressed Democratic meeting. He declared
that resumption was a humbug, that there was
no practical resumption, and asked any working
man whether he had seen any gold, since Green
backs had been placed on q par with it. A
number of workingmen exclaimed "Yes.' and
forthwith held up gold pieces that they had re-
ceived for their wages. In many parts of the
country, railroad hands aud other laborers are
being paid in gold. All this is very dishearten-
ing to the Greenbackers and their Democratic
allies, but it is the inevitable, and they must
grin and bear it.

VINO Cor WHAT SOLoS "PUT INrO THEN STEERsi y
Old Solon Chase is not great orator, and after
one hears the same speech half dozen times grows
mOnotonous. There was one illustration which Soou
used with telling effect in the rural districts "NOw,
fellow citizens" he would say, II bought yoke Of
steers for S25, and, wnterng them, could not sell
them in the spring for much as give for 'em in
the fall" and, rising on his toes and shaking his
finger oratorically, he thundered forth: who has
got what put into them steersn The answer to the
question Of course, was expected to be 'the bond
holders" but old farmer, who knew the impOr-
tance of good feeding, raised the point whether
Solon put much in them oxen during the winter"
bought them in the fall But solOn insisted that
somebody 'gOt what he put into them steers and he
continued mad about it.-Er.
No doubt the profit on those oxen went as did
the profit on lot of hogs that Ozias Bailey once
purchased. Some twenty years ago, when Ozas
was running big pork hous sc on the river bank
opposite White Cloud, hogs one winter brought
high prices. The following Spring, all the farm
ers were buying up shoats to fatteu, in anticipa-
tion of the same prices the next winter, and
paid big prices. One Missouri Bottom farmer
bought large lot of shoats, at high figures.
He had large corn crop, which he put into the
hogs, and got them in fine condition by slaugh-
tering season. But as fate would have it, when
that season arrived, hogs were rninously low.
But the hogs were ready, and had to 20. They
were driven mp to the slaughter-house, killed
and weighed, and the money paid over. The
farmer began, with a long face, to lament his
luck. He had the trouble Of taking care of them
all summer, bad put his whole corn crop into
them, and now he had got less for them as pork
than he had paid out for them as shoats. "Well,"
replied Ozias, in as consoiDg a manner as he
could, "you've had the use of the hogs all sum-
mer, and found market for your corn ~

n The st. Joseph Ga-ette sticks to it, that
the information that certain female witnesses
against Brooks fourished their revolvers in
Court, cursed Brooks attorneys and witnesses,
and threatened them, was received in writing,
from respectable and trustworthy persons. All
We have to say, then, is that those respectable
trustworthy persons, if they pretended to speak
from personal knowledge, deliberately lied.
Wen wager "purty" that they were either at
torneys or bummers for Brooks, or other parties
very anxious to manufacture public opinion in
his behalf. We are authorized by officers of the
Court, who were present all the time, to say
that no such thing happened in Court, nor any
other improper conduct on the part of those hat
ed female witnesses whoever or whatever they
may have been.

sF The Republicans of Brown County have
nominated a good County ticket. Stephen
Hunter, (the Dispatch spells it "Steven,') of Ir.
wing Township, is the candidate for Sheriff. The
Republicans of Brown County have been in q
sort of "mux, for a few years past, aud usually
get some of their best cand idates beaten. The
Democrats, Changers and Greenbackers have
been in the habit of pooling their issues" a nd
with the help of soured Republicans, have man
aged to get away with good share of the off,
ces. Now, whenever Republican gets sore by
failing to receive a nomination, he sets mp the
howl of "Hiawatha Ring" and falls in with the
couglomerates, to help beat the Republican tick
ct. We hope the Republicans Of Brown will this
year put forth their utmost efforts, and rake in
the whole ticket. 1t would break some of those
chaps of sucking eggs.

THE RIGHT KIND OF PRoMBITIoN.-All the
talk and buncombe about prohibition, is in the
direction Of effectiug it by stopping the manu.
facture and sale of liquors. Why indulge in
that nonsense, instead of going at the purpose
directf If it is right and necessary to regulate
mems appetite by law, why not operate upon
the men themselves, instead Of the roundabout
way of prohibiting the manufacture aud sale Of
an article with which he abuses himself, but
which also goes into use for other purposes :
Every man is held to be responsible for his own
acts, but this prohibition doctrine holds some
body else responsible. If prohibition is right
and necessary, prohibit the individual from
drinking liquor. Pass law to that effect, and
imprison or otherwise punish him for its viola
tion. Nobody proposes to stop murder and sui
eide by prohibiting the manufacture and sale Of
powder and shot, pistols, razors hatcher knives,
or axes. II would be just as sensible IS prohib-
iting the manufacture and sale Of liquor. The
man who cannot get within reach of liquor
without making hog of himself, is the one to
take hold of, not the man who makes the liquor.

PIors OCIIAwRY.-There is . town in OHIO,
not FAR from Columbus, called Westrrville. II
contains religious college, and the public sen
timent is strongiy temperance. Recently, man
opened u saloon in the town. greatly to the hor-
ror Of the citizens and refused to close it. His
dwelling was attached to bis saloon, where his
wife and children lived. One night, at lat<
hour, when the saloon was closed, aud the man
and his family we're in bel, the building was
blown up, and scattered to the winds. Strange
to say, noue Of the inmates were killed or seri-
ousiy hurt; bat that result was doubtless not
anticipated or desired by the perpetrators Of the
deed. Their dssiga evidently va, t. .,tr1y
the building aud kill the the inmates. Sipp,se
church full Of people, or the hou,e Of q preach
er, had been blown up by drunken men. What .
howl would have gone mp, and what cry for the
punishment Of the villains. But the deed would
not have been particle m1re wicked than that
of blowing up the saloon keepers house. But if
the inmates of the chnrch or the preachers
house had escaped unhurt, it would have been
hearalded as nothing less than direct interpo-
si!ion Of Providence.
Now, il that man was keeping his saloon in
violation of law, a law. abiding people, with
public sentiment to back them, could have clos
cd it by lawful means. If he was keeping it by
authority Of law. he was entitled to the protec-
tion of the law, and the men who destroyed his
property were simply midnight assassins.
