Shall this remain stable govern
ment, or shall it sink into miserable
confederacy? In other words, shall
the Republican idea of NATION pre-
vail, or shall the seceSsionist's doctrine
of 1861 gain the ascendancy in 1882
Shall the right to vote as he pleases
be guaranteed the southern negro, OIL
shall bulldozing and shotguns deter
mine his political status?
Shall the people control this govern
ment for four years more, or shall il
pass into the hands of a Southern oil
garchy?
Do we need more of truth and right
and justice, or more of falsehood
wrong and Cancellation?
Is an honest administration of the
affairs of the government, is prosper
ity, is national credit of any value?
These are the questions to be an
swered next November. How will
you vote upon them?

The Ne10 York Sun, which is Dem
ocratic from end to end, says: There
is no truer American, no deeper think
er, no more profound political philoso-
pher, no more learned and cultivated
statesman, no more sincere patriot
living than Samuel J. Tilden," and it
urges Hancock, the "superb," to visit
him and imbibe his sentiments. The
san fears that Hancock has not yet
made himself acquainted with the
constitutional principles and tradi-
tions" of the Democratic party, and in
effect admits his craftsmanship to be
exceedingly rudimentary.

admit The Fourteenth IF INV

to admit. The Fourteenth of july has
inaugurated a new era in France. The
army has been recognized, and is as
popular as ever with the nation. The
civil Institutions are also firmly plant
ed. A vexed question has been re-
moved in the shape of the amnesty. A
fair start has been made, and it is now
only necessary to remain within the
lines of peace and moderation. 1t
is to be hoped that the Government.
conscious of its strength, may devise
some means of avoiding the difficulty
presented by the March DEGREES. Mer-
cy has been granted to the prescribed.
and leniency may be we'll shown to all
those religious orders which have not
taken up an uncompromisingly hostile
attitude towards the Republic. Many of
the Paris journals devote leading arti-
cles to-day to the subject of the Nation
al Fete, expressing much satisfaction
at the manner in which it has gone off.
In so doing they only re-echo the opin-
ion of all fair and impartial spectators.
that the entire success with which the
military ceremony and the accompany
ing rejoicings have been crowned was
thoroughly well deserved. The Re
publiQ,se FrGnc0ise says that the army
which marched before the President is
the regenerated, viyified and national
army, and no longer the Imperial force.
The Republic loves this army as no
despot ever loved his Practorian
guards. There is no sacrifice that the
Republic is not prepared to make for
it. 1t no longer depends on the favor
of the prince. 1t has not now to defend
half-rotten throne. Itobeys the law,
and is the champion of France herself.

Some persons have been growing
around the city and the country on
account Of the change in the size OF
the TELEGRAPH. If those parties
would take the trouble to examine the
paper they would see that there is
about the same amount of reading
matter in it now as there was before
we purchased it. When we purchased
the paper we ordered all the patent
advertising discontinued, as we receiY-
ed little or no benefit from it. Some
of our town advertisers ordered their
advertising discontinued, claiming
they could not afford to pay for it on ac-
count of the dizziness in trade. All
told. about seven columns OF adver-
tisements have been taken out within
the past three months. 1t is upon the
advertising and job printing publish
er has to depend, as the subscription
price of a weekly paper would not pay
the expense connected with it's publ
cation. The TELEGRAPH has not pald
expenses for several years, our prede-
cessor having lost about $4,000 IN 1t.
We were obliged either to discontinue
its publication altogether or change
the size of the paper. We chose the
latter. We have endeavored to make
the TELEGRAPH worthy of the patron
age of the Republicans of this city
and county, and have received several
letters from parties competent TO
udge complimenting us on the I'M
provement made in the paper since II
came into our hands. Instead OF en-
deavoring to sustain the paper, several
persons have done all they possibly
could to injure it. Some of these per-
sons are not satisfied with anything OF
anybody. They are always looking
for something to growl about, and dc
not know enough to mind their own
business. If the Republicans OF Ke
nosha county want a good paper in
their interest, they have only to sup
port it and we will guarantee to supply
them with one. j. A. KILLEEN.

GREENBACKERS AND DEMO
GRATIS IN MAINE.

The fusion of Greenbackers and
Democrats in Maine is perfect in all
it's details, and shows how absolutely
devoid of principle the managers OF
both parties are. The leading finance
questions of two and three years ago
have been definitely and irrevOcably
settled; and as far as we are able to
see, the Greenback organization is now
fostered by and kept alive solely in the
interest of the Democratic party. The
object of the alliance in Maine is to
defeat Garfield and elect Hancock.
Hon. Charles G. Williams, of Wiscon-
sin, will go to Maine and deal the flu
sion such sledge-hammer blows as
only Charles G. Williams can. Maine
has ceased to be doubtful state if it
ever was one.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTERS.
From orr Reguzag Correspondent. ]


WASHINGTON, d. C.. July 30th. 1880.
There is no doubt that the effect of
General Grants recent order to the
Boys in Blue" of which he is Com
mander-in-chief, will add many thou
sand votes to the Republican cause,
besides bringing the soldier element
with all its sympathies and traditions
prominently into the canvass. 1T also
shows beyond dispute that General
Grant recognizes the necessity of Re-
publican success, and will give all the
aid he can personally to the election of
Garfield. The movement, while it may
be denounced by the Democratic party
as revival of war issues, is but the
natural result of a Democratic "SolId
South.
General n. p. Banks is in the city,
and of course has been interviewed.
He is fresh from the political field in
the West. He says the Republicans of
Illinois are confident of success and ex-
pect to roll up majority for Garfield
of 10000, but that they feel much anx-
iety about Indiana, and are very desir-
GUS that Senator Conkling should make
some speeches in that state, as his elo-
quence would enthuse the people, and
lead to unusual activity in the cam
paign.
The interest of both parties seem to
center in Indiana at this time, and
though the Democrats appear confident
when with Republicans, they are
doubtful about the result when by
themselves. Their only hope of sue
cess is by complete combination of
Democrats and Greenbackers, and that
is conceded by many to be impossible.
Though hard fight will be made, In
diana may be considered Republican in
October. The general aspect is bright.
The President recently remarked to a
caller that he has conversed with Re-
publicans from all sections of the
North and West since his return from
New England, and the united testimo-
| ny is that the Republican party has
not been so united and harmonious in
its feeling and action for years as in
the present campaign. Secretary Dor
| sey, of the National Republican Com
mittee, says: "Our prospects every
where are frightening, and I believe
the outlook now is better than it has
been before in twelve years at this
stage of the canvass" In fact, from
all sections words of hope and encour-
agement come.
Democratic actions in the South
make comparisons with the platform
adopted at Cincinnati very suggestive
That platform says, 1.-THE right to &
free ballot is the right preventative OF
all rights, and must and shall be main
tanned" This principle, by the way, il
owned by the Republican party, and il
adopted by the Democrats for this
campaign only. The respect it call.
forth in the South may be judged from
the following extract from southern
journal. 1t says: "White men VIII,
dare avOw themselves as Republicans
should be promptly branded as the bit
ter and malignant enemies of tn,
lSOuth." 4 eve have a Thousand
good and true men whose brave bal
lots will be found equal to those O
five thousand vile Radicals"
| The ayowal is an honest one, and i
must be remembered that it is by sucl
methods the Democratic party expec
to elect Hancock. SAXON.

Hon. A. o. Wright, Secretary of the
State Board of Charities and Reforms
injudiciously made remark rejecting
upon the good name of some one OF
the managers of the Oshkosh Insane
Asylum. This remark found its way
into print. DR.. Kempster, of the asy-
lum, took steps preparatory to prose
cution of the Secretary, whereupon
the Secretary wrote him friendly
letter explaining the whole matter.
The DR.. would not be paciiied, and
several papers in the state urged him
on to prosecution of the offending
Secretary. Much unfriendliness and
unjust censure has resulted, tending to
injure Mr.. Wright
An investigation of the charge
against the asylum has resulted in the
following letter, which, it is hoped
will quiet the troubled waters:

The British army has met with
most signal defeat in Afghanistan.
The invasion is looked upon by all the
world as unjust, and were this defeat
to end it, the news would be source
of satisfaction; but England never
loosens her grip when fighting the ma
tive tribes. Afghanistan will yet be
taught to stroke the British Lions
name with gentle hand.

The invasion of Indian Territory by

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 31st, 1880

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 31st, 1880.
The Republicans have made splen-
did start in the present presidential
race, and were never before favored
with so many auspices of success.
Campaign contributions are pouring
in from all sources with q prodigality
never before equalled. Your CORES
pondent has opportunities for knowing
this to be fact, and if he could but
appropriate the receipts of the Money
Order Office for the Republican Cam
paign Committee for three days he
would retire from the hot and thorny
field of journalism and 60 to Coney
Island or to Paris.
Besides the great advantage of ini-
tiative in this campaign, important i'm
every species of conflict, the Republi-
cans begin to realize that their candi-
date has many advantages over the
padded military shape that has been
set up against him, and they are fur
thermore encouraged by the unity and
harmony which is becoming conspicr-
GUS in ali their rank and file. When
chieftains, personally SO antagonistic
as Conkling and Jewell or Logan and
Schurz, bend their energies in com
mon cause, what may not be expected
from their united efforts?
Nothing, not even a foreign war
would be more calamitous than the
accession of the Democrats to power
In the train of Hancock would follow
at least a half million of the hungriest
most wolfish office-seekers that fam.
inc, ignorance, and Incidence ever
brought forth. The thousands OF
places now filled by able and expert.
enced men and women would be turn.

and to all the confusion of Babel
would be added the wild ruin of a
looted public treasury. Said the Dem.

natl Convention: eff / lived in New
York would be Republican" Your
correspondent was in Washington
when the Democrats got control of the
House of Representative four wears
ago, and saw the hosts of red-nosed
blear-eyed bummers that followed in
their train to get the few offices that
were under the control of the House.
These thousands of physically, moral
ly, and politically rotten men were but
a squad in comparison to the myriads
that will swarm from all the sources
of pollution that mark the places of
Democratic stencil and strength.

BITTER CREAM.-A. w. X, Sears
port, Me-, asks for the cause and rem
edy for bitter cream. All the COWS are
in fine health and have a good pasture.
ANs.-Bitter cream may be caused
by the ccw eating bitter weeds, as rag
weed, bOneset, willow leaves and twigs,
etc. Or 1t may be caused by the COW
being injunously affected b. the hot
weather, or by impure water. Or il
may DC caused by fungus growth in
the cream when kept in cellar that is
not well aired or has anything moldy in
it. Or the cream may be kept too long
or The churnlng may be too long con-
tinued. If The bitterness is supposed to
be from any cause without the. COW, a
good pinch OF saltpeter in each pan Of
milk may change it. fit is within the
COW give her half an ounce of saltpeter
once day, for two or three days; this
will help to carry off the impurities
through the kidneys, Other causes
may be removed or prevented.

Weeds as well as all other plants are
now making a vigorous growth, and the
annual job of destroying them has been
commenced. some farmers appear to
do this with but Slittle trouble, while
oilers fail every time, and come to the
conclusion that they have the weediest
farm IN town. The only way to get rid
OF them is not to allow ore to 90 10
seed anywhere on The premises. Most
Of them are annual. perennial plants
depending on the seeds for their con-
unued growth, and when this supply i
cvt of they will he very materially re.
duced in a few years. One Of the worst
nurseries for the pests is among the
rubbish that is allowed by some farmers
to accumulate around their buildings, o.
where the wash from the barnyard o
other sources has killed the grasses
These must be destroyed as well a
those in The ground that is cultivated
To do tbs, pull them up by the roots
before their seeds ripen, and remove
them TO the hog-pen, or the cOmpOs
heap.

It is good plan to put new
carthenware into cold water and LEI
it heat gradually until it boils;
then cool again. Brown earthen
ware in particular may be tough
ened in this way. A handful o.
rye or wheat bran thrown in while
it is boiling will preserve the glaz
ing so that it will not be destroyed
by acid or salt.

The Wool Market.

The movement Of the new clip has
shown considerable Improvement OF
late. Probably half Of tbe,clip in Hi
nois. SMichigau, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Iowa, and Minnesota has Changed
hands. There was considerable activi-
ty during the latter part Of June in
eastern markets which lifted the feel
ing of depression that PREVAILED pre-
viously. There was no material change
IN prices, but transactions were made
uoon q basis which indicates that the
requirements ofthe manufacturers will
consume all the wool IN the country at
prices which will not be below present
e,~ot~tiens. Adv,eo- G~0',> tho Tact
lead to the belief that the manuiactur-
crs recognize this strong probability,
but the. situation of the trade in wOoens
IS such that the manufacturers do not
care to purchase wool largely IN adj
vance Of their requirements. The
movement to the seaboard, therefore, is
slow. Maugor 4 Ayery's wool circular
OF July 10th SAYS sthat it IS probable
the current demands of consumers will
be sufficient TO prevent any great ac-
emulation in the eastern markets.
The same circular says that California
woods have been in fair demand, and in
Boston sales thus far this month con-
stitute q considerable part Of the mar
ket. Texas woods are steady and
have sold moderately well. Early in
the month there were liberal -sales OF
foreign woods mainly Of Australian and
English woods, (which with some ship
ments 10 England have reduced the
stocks considerably. The importatiOns
for The month were something :over
1000 bales. During the first six
months of 1850 our importations were
2,O00,OO0 pounds. 1t IS evident that
manufacturers and dealers are moving
cautiously, There is, therefore, no
fears Of excitement in the market, as
the wool clip IS fine one. Still .it is
not expected that prices will decline;
on Tie contrary, 1t IS not improbable
that certain kinds Will ADVANCE
Manufacturers are reported as supplied
with the coarser grades, but need the
better grades ofdomestlc.

The SunGOWer.

We have lately met with a paragraph
ia several oFour exchanges recommend
lag The planting ola sxnhower seed in
the middle Of each hill of poll beans, so
that the stalk of the sunfOwer, growing
faster than the beans and always keep
lag a lltile ahead, would serve instead
Of 4 pole, saving to the grower consid-
cradle labor and expense. How this
wosld work in practice we cannot say,
but We DO know that for many uses the
sunf0wer Is a valuable plant to raise
Il grows very rapidly, and when thickly
planted around sink drains, priyies and
other unsightly and offensive places, it
not only servers as a screen, but it also
is said TO have the property Of absorb
lag malarlous oXhalations and purifying
the atmosphere. The seeds are much
relshcd by poultry, and, if not fed too
literally, are very wholesome. A cor
respondent Of the Country Gentleman
recommends the seeds as cure for the
hcaves IN horses, and says: A gentle
man told me that there IS nothing equa

with two bushels OF oats. and gave {
