Conkling did II, the New York Con-
vention what Don Cameran did in
Pennsylvania, carried it for Grant.
Which shows that the Grant boom is
lust what we have all along maintain
ed it was, scheme of the machine
politicians and the capitalists.
It is now about time for the people
to express themselves in some decided
form against this movement. They 90
not want Grant. The sentiment OF the
country is against third term. The
unwritten constitution of the country
forbids it. Even if Grant were as pure
a patriot as Washington it would be
dangerous. The New York Herald
aud other journals are not mere alarm
ists when they claim that there is real
danger to tho Republic In this effort 70
force Grant upon US for third term.
There is a movement shaping now to
make the country monied aristocracy
and semi-military Republic. Grant
himself is on record against third
term. In his letter to the Pennsylvan-
ia Republican Convention, written May
6, 1875, lie said:
Iwould not accept a nomination Ito
q third term) if it were rendered, un-
less it were to come under such circum"
stances as to make it an imperative
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES not likely TO
arise.
The Republican party is also on rec
ord against third term. The House
of Congress, by vote of 233 to- Is,
adopted the celebrated Springer resolu-
ton of Dec. Is, 1875, which says:
Resolved, That, in the opinion OF
this House, the precedent es-
tablisled by Washington and other
Presidents, i'm retiring from the Presi-
Dental office after their second. term,
has become, by universal concurrence,
a part of our Republican system of
government, and that any departure
from this time-honored custom would
he unwise, unpatriotic, and fraught
with peril to our free institutions.
Here is Grant himself and the Re-
publican party, backed by the people Of
tho country, on record against third
term. Down with the third termers.

DELN AND BOB INGERSOLL.
EDITOR ADVANCE: have heard a
great deal of murmuring and complain
ing in this community about hard times
the last SIX months. Farmers say they
never were as bard pressed as they are
this winter. I don't look at it in that
light. They have plenty to live on.
Their debts are what trouble them
Last fall found most of them morgag.
ed up and they had to sell all the, prop
erty they could turn into money to sat-
isfy those mortgages as they were in
the hands of SONG bank which would
not show any leuity. Five or six years
ago we ate the bread of charity aud
now have plenty of our own to live on.
I think the loss of the two crops will
prove a blessing; to the farmer in the
long run, for the loss of crops has been
common to mankind in all ages. When
l look over the Bible history find the
Almighty has sent down his judgments
upon the people for their wickedness.
Eight hundred years before the coming
Of Christ lie sent on the land of Samaria
the palmer worm, and what they left
the locust destroyed, and what the To-
Gust left the canker worm ate, and what
the canker worm left the ca.erpiller ate
up. We find a great many places IN
the Bible that teach us that those in.
sects are sent by our Heavenly Father
to remind US what we are dependent up
on.
I know we have good many infidels
in this part of the country that will not
believe this doctrine. All have to say
to them is, 81 on in your own way and
see where you will land your frail bark.
Are you going to prove 10y Science that
the Bible is false? What is Science?
1t IS an enllghtening of the mind that
brings many inventions to light. We
are told that God made man upright
and man sought out many inventions.

prove that the Bible is false. Bob. don't

EDITOR ADVANCE: read IN article
in yonr paper concerning Spirit Mani
festations Of the Latter Day Saints.
They had been speaking in unknown
tongues, had had the Interpretation of
tongues and some had been healed.
The writer wished to have it explained.
which we will he very happy to do by
calling his attention to the Bible, LIST
Cor. 18th chapter, u, e verses: Nov
ye are the body Of Christ and members

the church, first apostles; secondly
prophets; thirdly, teachers; after that
miracles; then gifts of healings, helps,
governments, diversities of tongues"
Now look i'll Eph. fourth chapter.
Please read the whole chapter. These
things that you read here God placed
in his church, and as the Latter Day
Saints belong to his church, it is MOTH
ing very strange that they should enjoy
these gifts.

MISTAKES OF FARMER&

MISTAKES OF FARMERS
SEWARD, Feb. q, 1880.
EDITOR ADVANCE: As Spring draws
near there is motion among our farm
ers relative to crops for tho coming sea-
son and the question ''what are you 60
ing to sow?" is heard on every hand.
As near rs we are able to learn, the
principle crop, at least of our town,
will I've flax. Now here is grand mis-
take, if there is any remedy for it. Our
farmers say, 1--WE have no seed and can
get no other" True seed is scarce, but
the rates at which flax seed is given out
are 30 enormous that all profits Of rais-
ing it are lost. Now they could procure
seed Of tho coarser grains corn, oats.
and barley for less and we believe real
ize more from the crops, if not by selling
land we believe that more can he real
lied even in this way,) they certainly
can by feeding. And here III connec-
ton with feeding, We wish to notice
another mistake into which our people
have fallen. Tired of the OK teams,
which answered. purposeso well, our
people cried out few years agu that
they must have horses. Men from Iowa
brought the broken down horses from
their State to supply the demand and
left them with us, receiving in return
our cattle, which please notice were SAL
able property Tor their old unstable
horses, until at present there are no
cattle in tho county fit for feeding.
This is u mistake it will take years to
recover from and Iowa is laughing at
MINI. and its folly and growing rich at
her expense.

"IHdT POEM"
r subscribers asked
low we could ''wri
lat and then attack

One of our subscribers asked US the
other day how we could write such
poetry as that and then attack Chris
tianity through the ADVANCED" Our
friend has fallen into the same mistake
which is made by so many, viz: that a
paper which criticizes ministers,
churches, church bigots and false relig-
ion, is attacking or opposing Christi
anity. We will give five dollars SEN
tence for every sentence which can be
found in the ADVANCE attacking
Christianity. So far from attacking
Christianity. land we use the term as
meaning Christ's Gospel, which is no
doubt the sense in which our friend
used it, we have constantly asserted
our belief in the truth and the purity
of that Gospel.
"That Poem" to which orr friend
alludes, is the expression of our inner
and higher llfe-of our love of Ma
ture,:' our love of Song" our love Of
''I.ove,' our love of "God.'' The
ADVANCE is the expression of our out
ward, battling, everyday life. The
ADVANCE is a battle-ax helping to
cleave the skulls Of Ignorance, Bigotry,
Superstition, and Error generally.
The ADVANCE detests and attacks
sham preachers, sham churches, sham
church members. sham religion, and
sham in general, in short. Sham it,
self. The ADVANCE dislikes such in
tolerant and intolerable preachers as
Rev. Ireneas Prime, DR.. Bacon and all
the small fry clergy Of their kidney, as
much rs it likes and admires such
preachers as Henry Ward Beecher,
Robt. Collyor, Prof. Swing, DR.. Thom-
as and preachers of their soul and toll
GRAFTON. The ADVANCE believes in
Bob Ingersoll as IN iconoclast who is
doing glorious work. It believes with
tho late Rev. DR.. Clark that if there
were few more Bob Ingersolls ,hun-
dering all around the sky the chul cll
would be the better for it..
If to disbelieve, reject and attack the
narrow and bloody theology Of the Or.
thodox churches, is to be an INFIDEL,
then the ADVANCE is inftlel. If to
believe in Christ's Gospel as the purest
religion on earth and to believe in
Christ himself rs the head of the human
race and the spiritual ruler of this
planet, is to he Christian, the
ADVANCE is Christian.

A POWER IN THELAND.

FOWEH 1N The LAND.
We notice from an article in the St..
Paul Globe, copied from the Worthing.
ton Journal, which latter paper is edit
ed by one Ogle, minister of the gospel
Of Christ, that he is opposed to the ap
pointment of a ministerial brother for
principal OF the Mankato Normal
School. Ogle, who is Il straight-jacket
orthodox minister, and the infidel and
spiritualistic editor of the Worthington
ADVANCE, precisely agree for once.
The article in question appeared origi-
nally in the ADVANCE. and now the
Journal adopts it word for word. Mill

see, dispatch, rumor prevails in that
city to the effect that the low-tax wing OF
the Democratic members of the Legisla.
ture and the Republican members are en-
deavorng to form a coalition. the terms
of which are to give the low-taxers the
Speakership of the State Senate and make
Governor. elect HAWKINS United States
Senator. By this means, the Governors
chair would become vacant, and the low
tax Speaker, being next In Office,
would become Acting Governor.
The rumor as yet is not very
authoritative, yet it looks probable enough
that there is foundation for 1t. AT pres
ent, Tennessee politicians feel much
deeper interest in State than in National
political affairs The simple office OF
Governor, with the legislature against
them gives the Republicans no control OF
State affairs, and is of little consequence
to them, while in the control of one OF the
Democratic factions it could be made to
tell in their interest. Such alliances are
not the most desirable or reputable modes
of effectng governmental or economical
changes and often become the instrument
talities through which the worst political
crimes are perpetrated and the most hurt
tut policy is inaugurated. but they seem
to be inseparable and sometimes inevita.
