THE MARKETS,

Chicago dispatches report gener-
ii rise in prices. Report for Oct. 6,
says: The markets on 'change were
more active and as q whole more ex-
cited than during the period of the
late rise. There was strong and
general advance in every article which
amounted in wheat to about four cents,
on corn to one cent and half, oats
one cent, pork fifty five cents, lard ten
to twenty cents. Prices were we'll
sustained and closed firm, with a frac-
tional reaction. The transactions
were immense in produce and provis-
ions, with considerable irregularity
in speculation. There were no fail
ures.

PURE AMBER CAME SIRUF.

The Faribault Republican says the
Minnesota Amber Cane Refinery at that
place IS in full operation turning out
pure Amber Cane Syrup by the barrel.
1t says: some Of our grocers have coI,-
menced retailing the syrup from the re-
finery. 1t appears to be@ the general
verdict of those who have tasted it since
the finishing pan was brought to work
satisfactorily, that nothing finer has
been seen in this market. All the acid
ity and "tang" peculiar to the crude
syrup, that left ;.n unpleasant tasteard
burning sensation on the palate are
eliminated, and a pleasant saccharine
sweetness as pleasant us the maple,
which it much resembles in flavor, is
the result. what will add much to it's
success in the market is the reputation
which we understand the conn any pro-
pose scrupulously to maintain, of send
ing out only thepure ulladulterated arti-
Gle.

THE NEW DEP4RTF1RE


The publishers of the WortIington
papers have decided that hereafter
they will carry no dead-beat names on
their subscription books and that the
names Of all persons who are in arrears
on the lst of December next will he
stricken from their books and the ac-
counts given toan attorney for collec-
tiOn Rock Co. Herald.
The Worthington papers have mu-
tua1ly agreed not to send their papers
to any subscribers hereafter except
those that pay in advance. They will
also publish in i short time lists OF i'll
their delinquent subscribers who fail to
pay up.-Flandreau Enterprise.
Our newspaper friends over at
Worthington, the Journal and the AD-
VANCE, have buried the hatclet aud
entered into compact declaring that
thereafter they will carry no dead beat
names on their subscription lists, ,nand
that ut some future time they will pub
lish a list of all subscribers who do not
settle their accounts in some manner,
together with the amount they have
swindled the printer. This is Il new
departure in country journalism, but it
is nevertheless u splei did idea for ,m-
pers to act III o.. We would like to be
one Of all the country publishers in
Southern Minnesota who would bind
themselves to bounce every delinquent,
and commence All era of ''terms inyari-
ably in advance. = Fairmont Sentinel
The suggestion made by the Sentinel
is certainly an excellent one. Although
there are very few among our sul,scrih-
ers whom we would be justified il, call
ing dead-beats. nevertheless, there arc
many who are greatly in arrears and we
realize the unprolitableness of the cred
it system so fully that we strongly fa,
vor the plan suggested by the Sentinel
-Luyerne Herald.

CHRISTIANS AND INFIDELS.


The Independent Age, the Organ of
the Independent Church of Alliance,
Ohio, in commenting upon all article
from the Seymour (lnd.) Times, says:
Christians have, not understood the
better class Of so-called 1ntidels, and
will do well to wait ands:slearn before
condcmning too severely Welke bold
manly Ntterances which come swelling
up from an honest heart, whether we
agree with the sentiments or not.
Christians never will understand Inf
dels, until they learn toleration and be-
come liberal themselves. Even the
more advanced Christians, like the edi-
tor of the Independent Age, seem to be
only half free, paving like Milton s lion,
to get free the half which is still in the
ground. Every student of history
ought to know that the world owes its
liberty to the lnlidels, the men who in
all ages repudiated the superst tus
creeds Of the priests and the political
claims Of kings and aristocrats. If the
Christian bigot were not the most un-
reasonable and blind of all enlightened
menhe.would learn toleratin from the
fact that what claims to be the church of
Christ is divided into scores of sects
which for centuries have shed each 9TH
ers ll)od and put each other to the rack.
Surely they cannot all oe right. Sure
ly, therefore, rs Tennyson says, there
Is more faith in honest doubt than there
is in half the creeds. An honest mind
is necessarily iniidel. Not intidel to God,
or to truth, Or to purity, but infidel,
more or less, to all the warning, blood
shedding, superstitious religions OF the
earth. And no religion among them
all has been m ,re cruel or bloody than
the misnamed Christian Religion.
Founded, rs is was. by the gentlest, the
most loving, the most catholic, the
most nOn-u sistant, the most angelic
the divinest being that ever struggled,
suffered and died for his fellowmcn. it
has been perverted by priests and tl,eo-
logians, into perhaps the bloodiest re-
ligion OH earth. And the rescue of
this religion from the evil hands into
which it has fallen depends upon those
whom the priests brand as Intidels.

AN INDEPENDENT TICHET,

The Republican County Convention
meets to-day and one need not be an AS
trologer to forecast it's horoscope. It
will be controlled, as it always has been,
by half dozen Worthington II en-, who
will nominate themselves and such men
as are believed to be in sympathy with
the "maclline.'
This condition of things has existed
so long that there is a demand in all
parts of the County for 4 change. We
are in receipt Of requests from the west,
north and south, that an independent
ticket be put i'll the field, and that fresh
men, who are just as competent as any
of the old Worthlngton Ring, be placed
III nomination, and that the old hang
ers-on to the public teat be set aside.
About this, we have this to say: If
the men who want such a ticket will
lay off their coats and arork for it, we
will do all III or power through the
ADVANCE for it's success. But if the
whole burden is to he thrown on the
ADVANCE, we shall save ourself the
trouble OF having anything to do with
It. The Ring are organized and ready
for the fray. They will do as they did
two years ago, lay off their coats and
work day and night, and lie all the time,
promising to stake their lies back after
the election" And they will win, if
the usual Indifference and apathy pre-
vail Iamoug their opponents.
That there are good and honest men
III Office in this county, We believe
That there are good and true men work
ing with the Wortllington Ring, we be-
lleve also. But that this county now is
largely controlled by two or three as un-
scrurulous rascals as ever wormed
themselves into office and got their dis
honest hands on the throttle valve of u
county, we are quite sure. Their par
tiality, favoriteism, bitter prejudices,
dishonesty, connivance at crime, and
abuse of law and official position to re-
ward friends and punish er remies is be-
coming unbearable. We will Join with
any fair and square peoples movement
to end this devilish combination.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1879.

The cause of the outbreak was proba-
bly, the failure of the goyernmint to pay
the S79, 900 due under the Brunot treaty
of 1873, by which the San Juan mining
region was ceded by the Utes to Color
ado. The people have never asked the
transfer Of the Utes to the Indian Ter
ritory.-Denver Despatch
Just so. And so it ill be no doubt
as long as an Indian remains. Violated
treaties, thieving Indian agents, and
the aggressions of the whites in disrc-
gard of pledges and treaty stipulations
have been the cause Of nine-tenths OF
the massacres and outbreaks. 10, the

Mr.. WALKERS REPLY.

EDITOR ADVANCE: I have read a
communication in the last issue of your
paper from something signing itself
Grand Prairie," asking you by what
authority the County Auditor had to
ignore the ]evying Of taxes on property
assessed against Wm. Knapp and II.
W. Ingrallam, OF Grand Prairie, and
proven up on in the month of April.
1873. And also why lie did not publish
reports Said to have been made by the
County Commissioners justifying Mr..
Porter in his claim for bounty on trees.
etc., claiming that great injustice was
done Mr.. Porter by not doing 50.
Mr.. Editor, l beg the privilege to an
swer for myself in this matter, and hope
you will be liberal enough to allow me
the space for short and emphatic de.
nial Of the above malicious falsc,ood.
!. VIM. Knapp did not prove mp on
his land in the mouth of April but IN
the month of May, 1878, and ". IT. In
graham did not prove up on his land
until tue moAtll Of July, 1873. The re.
turns from tie i. $. Land Office ma,l.
in the month of May, 1919, for asScssa.
blelands in Mobiles county, Mimi. and
certified to by the Register of the Land
Office and now on file in this office, will
be exhibited to any party wishing tc
test the yeracity Of almv" stat,nrnt.
2. Why I did rot publish what was re-
ported to have been said hy some Of the
Commissioners OF by somebody else in
regard t" i'untes on tree claims needs
no comment and is unnecessary to re-
port. The affidavit made in good faith
by Mr. Porter has never been published
1t he wishes this done, with ti:c written
statement made by the Commissioners
when they viewed his claim, and his
own statement made justifying himself
and published in both papers, it can
still be done verbatim, and perhaps
would show to the unprrjudctd Wheth-
er there was justice done to him or not.
II he Thinks not, he has redress to the
courts where justice will be given him.

THE PLATFORM or TIE NATIONAL
liberal LE.iGCii P.i RTi.
Following is the platform adopted by
the convention called by the national
liberal league which met in Cincinnati:
Resolved, That we are in favor OF
such postal laws lis will allow the free
transportation through the mails Of the
United States of all books. pamphlets.
and papers irrespective OF the religious,
irreliglous, political, and scientific
views they may contain, so that the
literature OF science may be placed up
on an equality with that of superstition.
Resolved, That we are utterly opposed
to the dissemination through the mails,
or 10y amy other means, Of obscene liter
at'lre whether inspired or uninspired.
and hold i'll measureless CONTEMPT its
authors and disstminators.
Resolved, T a. we call upon the
Christian world to cxpunge from the So
called sacred Bible every passage that
cannot he read without covering the
cheek CT modesty with the Blu ii of
shame, and until such passages are ex-
plunged we demand that tile laws a.
gainst the dissemination of obscene lit
erature be iinpartially enforced.
2. AS to the propriety of taking politi-
cal action, your committee further re-
port that we deem it exrntl"1rt for the
liberals Of this country to act as !. pol
itical organization for the ACCOMPLISH
ment Of the following object, and that
the following resolutions be adopted by
the league:
Resolved, That we mutually rledye
each other that we will, in our several
localities, use our influence and cast
our votes for such candidates for Office
who publicly declare their belief in the
absolute sccularization of the govern.
ment: and we recommend that the
state and auxiliary leagues in the re-
spective localities act togeatler upon
all political questions.
Resolved, That we claim it to he the
duty of every true liberal to extend to
all others every right that he claims for
himself; that he cannot practically dis
cr'mlnate against any person on ac-
count of religious belief. provided ONLY
'ChaC such person is III favor of civil and
intellectual liberty.
Resolved. That the president Of the lea.

DE SOTO PARISH ITEMS.
fManaGeld Democrat. !

The peopleof this parish are in favor
Of having the State Capitol removed to
Baton Rouge. Our delegates should
bear this in mind when this question
is brought up before the Convention.
About ten days ago two boys aged
about eight and ten years were killed
by lightning. The lightning struck
the chimney and ran down into the
room where there were six or seven
persons. All Of them were severely
shocked but the boys were killed out
right. They were the SONS Of gentle
man by tho name of Crow. The sadly
bereaved family have the sympathy
Of the entire community. They lived
on Red bayou.
We have often heard Of people be-
ing mean enough to steal the money
off Of u dead "nigger's eyes," but we
never heard OF such an occurrence
until last week. An old negro died
on the Moss plantation, a few miles
from town, and, AZ is customary, two
half dollars were placed upon her eye
lids to close them, and during the
night one Of the darkies sitting up
with the corpse stole the money. The
negroes have been much excited over
the matter, and the suspected brother
has been threatened with expulsion
from the church. Whether the mat
ter will be brought before the courts
or not, we have been unable to learn,
but suspect that it will.

ATTORNEY GENERAL DEVENS.
cart. EADs' NEYT IMsyALLMEN7
Devyns Tries His Hand on Condemned
Soldier.

WASHINGTON, May ~. In the
cabinet to-day the attorney general
rendered an opinion holding that
Capt. Eads is entitled to the final in
stallmcnt of $5O0,OO claimed by him
on the jctty contract, and the sccre-
tary of war has ordered payment to
be made.
The attorney general also rendered
an opinion in the case Of Prior N.
Coleman, Of Tennessee, a soldier who
was found guilty of murder by court
martial during the war, and who has
been for fourteen years under SEN
tence of death. For some uncxplain-
cd reason the sentence was never ex-
ecutcd by the military authorities,
and Coleman was again tried, found
guilty, and sentenced by the State
courts. Upon appeal to the supreme
court of the United States it was de-
cidcd last term that the second
trial and sentence were invalid, and
ordered the prisoner turned over to
the military authorities. The attor-
ney general now holds that the orig
inal sentence by court-martial was
not affected by the decision of the
United States supreme court, and that
Coleman can still be hung. He rec
ommends, however, in view of the
circumstances and lapse of time, that
the president commute the sentence
to Imprisonment for life.

approval Of the people, is u question
that remains to be solved further
along.
The judiciary committee have been
at work each day, and have not been
able to agree upon q definite system.
We hear to-day, however, that they
are about to reach II final conclusion,
which will be likely to harmonic the
many opinions that have been nd
vanced.
An understanding was had on last
Saturday whereby q great deal Of
time will be saved during the DELHI
erations. 1t is asserted by the know
ing ones, that the balance Of the work
can be completed by the first Of July
Although some are in favor Of u re-
cess until fall, u large majority seem
determined to remain here, until the
constitution is duly framed. The lat
ter say that the people are anxiously
awaiting u solution, and that it is
best that one hundred and thirty -four
men should be incOmmoded than to
cause u delay that Gun bo avoided
We arc of that opinion and are in
favor Of going through to the end,
while we arc at it. More anon.

REPORTED RICH FIND OF TREAS.
URE NEAR LITTLE ROCK,

LITTLE Rock, May 2.-Tulstwor-
thy advices from the silver mining
region in Montgomery county, near
Hot Springs, are to the effect that
rich ore, near the surface, has been
discovered in many places covering
an area Of several miles. California,
Nevada and Colorado miners now
there concur in saying the prospect is
very good. As yet there is no satisfac-
tory discovery of a true iissure vein.
A stamping mill has been ordered
and is soon expected.
Diamond Joe Reynolds sunk a shaft
lI8 feet, and stopped operations, af.
ter expanding $4,000 last season
from want OF cooperation by other
claimants. Some specimens taken
from several mines are very rich
The question il as to the quantity to
be found. PrOspectOrs arc very san
guine, but have yet to realize theil
hopes. A great many claims are
staked off, and there is q heavy rush
to tho region, which is about twenty
miles west of Hot Springs.
