COLLECTING TOLL.-Last week &
young man from Lancaster thought that
it would be fine thing to "run" the
toll bridge at South Lancaster, and in
spite of the toll mans protestations and
calls of 'stop!" "stopm he succeeded.
Mr.. H., the toll man, went to the bridge
directors and laid the case before them.
They told him that he might collect q
fine of "a, from the smart young man.
Accordingly the next day Mr.. H. went
to Lancaster to see him. The young
man acknowledged the fine and pub
licly told him that if he would call the
next Saturday he would pay it. Sat
urday came, and with it Mr.. H. Com
PLEASANTLY, and with a serene counte-
nance, the young man walked behind
the counter and paid over to Mr.. H. 81
in old-fashioned One-Gent coppers. AS
Mr.. II. did not come prepared for this
unusual display of copper coin, he was
in a dilemma. How could he get it
home? But his face frightened when
the young man offered to lend him Il
satchel. Having other business to
transact before going home, he remark
ed that he would leave his satchel there
until he was ready to go. In little
while he came back, took his heavy
burden and departed. Imagine his sur
prise, and anger, when on opening his
satchel, to find there only trO bricks
which the young man had placed there
in his absence. The last heard of Mr..
| I'll. he had come to the conclusion that
the directors might collect their own
| fines hereafter.

A BIG SToRY.-Mr. Asa Hoyt says he
has kept jersey COW during the last
year from which he has made 676 lbs.
of butter, and has sold 468 quarts of
milk. During the month of June, 81
quarts of milk made one pound of but
ter. Thus if all the milk had been set
for cream he would have made 748 lbs.
during the year. This does not include
the milk and cream used in family of
two and three persons. This COW
weighs about 1000 lbs. She has been
fed all the good hay she wanted in the
winter; in the summer she was pas
tured on piece of land stocked down
the year before with rye. During the
whole year her rations of meal were
common three-pint basin twice full of
shorts and once full of corn meal. Now
we are ready to hear from the next
man! Please send an affidavit with
the next item of this kind.
People here are using a good many
adjectives not to say swe- to express
their feelings in regard to the mud.
Very little sugar made as yet. AL
most every one applies some particular
epitbet of their own to characterize the

Mr.. Asa Sergeant has been laid up
now some weeks with sciatica, and as

General Garfeld's prompt and explic-
it denial of the authorship of his alleged
letter to H. L. Morey on the Chinese
question only corroborates the already
developed facts which proves it forgery,
| and at the same time demonstrates the
desperation of the Democrats in resort
ing to such dirty practices. The scoun-
drels who are managing the Democrat
&c literary bureau have already been Sc.
verely denounced by the better class OF
their own party journals, and the follow.
ing from the Chicago Times shows the
sentiment of the independent press in
regard 70 this matter:
"This letter was alledged TO have been
written to 81. Z. Morey, member of the
Employers Union, Lynn, Mass. A dis
patch from Boston announces that nc
such man as 81. L. Morey, has been known
in Lynn, and that no such organization
as the Employers Union ever existed
there. This is a sad blow to the
Democratic literary bureau With
a view to discourage correspond
ence with Mr.. horey in regard
to this letter, it was announced that he
had gone the way of all the earth, and
that this letter was found among his
private papers after his decease. The
ingenuity of this is creditable to the
bureau, but its failure to address the let
ter to some one who had resided in Lynn
and who had been a member of some or
ganization known there, shows that the
bureau is not yet what it ought to be
1t is said that countless copies of thii
letter have been printed for distribution

bureau it also proves that that zeal il

AN ENCOURAGING INDICA-
TION


1t has been especially gratifying to
note the purely non-partIsan standpoint
from which the temperance amendment
to the constitution has been regarded by
the public in the present canvass. With
all that has been said and written pro
and con in regard to this measure, it has
not assumed the phase of a party ques-
ton nor become involved in the sharp
political asperities of the campaign.
This is eminently proper, and Is proud
commentary upon the sound sense and
superior discretion Of our people. The
amendment is purely moral issue, which
affects the welfare of the community
at large, and will be staunchly support
cd by the better elements of both parties
and antagonized by both Republicans and
Democrats who favor a continuance of
the liquor traffic. The moderation
which has marked the consideration of
this proposed reform, augurs well for its
accomplishment as 1t indicates that there
exists IN the minds of the people, ire
spective of their political faith, a
conviction that the moral and material
interests of our young commonwealth
will be greatly subserved by the passage
of the amendment, and there is every
reason to believe that the verdict which
crystalizes at the calm level of fireside
opinion will be returned In favor of a
measure which will promote sobriety
foster virtue and remove out of the way
of the coming generation the insidious
temptation which now lies In their path
The sentiment of the people, who are
the true sovereigns, is always just and
right, and upon this condition we base
our hope and belief in the passage o.
the temperance amendment.

AN INrEREsrINo rroHr

The congressional fight in the Kansas
City district is assuming an interesting
shape and attracting general attention
in the west. The two Democratic aspi-
rants, Allen and Crisp, have failed in all
attempts to harmonic their contest, so
that the Democracy might be united. In
this condition of things the Republicans
have put Col. r. T. Van Horn, fthe Kan.
sas City Journal. in the field. The dis
trict is strongly Democratic, but the Re
publicans are hopeful of success on &C.
count of the division in the
Democratic ranks. 1t would be a
matter of rejoicing throughout
Kansas If Col. Van Horn should be
chosen, because he has ever been q true
friend to Kansas, and has done much
for our advancement. Kansas City lies
in the path of empire from the east to
the west, and is great and thriving city.
She is destined to be still larger and
greater. and there is no doubt but that
hei true interests material and political,
would be subServed by electing Col. Van
Horn. In the six years he represented
that district in congress some years ago,
he did much for his city. In fact the
very prosperity which Kansas City is
now enjoying is owing more to
the foundations laid by the Colonsl
than to all other sources. He is
far sighted statesman, possessing
a mind that can grasp the needs of the
west, and with energy and power snfi.
cient to accomplish what he undertakes.
We believe ii would be & step in the
right direction for the Eighth district tn
send Col. Van Horn to congress.

GOING ROB GRANT

The Bourbon editor of the Clark
County, Kentucky Democrat. thus pays
his respects TO the old hero who saved
the country in war and preserved its
honor among the nations of the world
in peace:
We have always regarded Grant as q
coarse, low, vicious blackguard, whom
animal courage and bulldog pertinacity
had elevated to high position. His ex,
ample has done much to lower the tone
of private morals, while his course as
president has wrought an injury to the
public service from which it will
never recover When the young
men see the first citizen of the
land is a drunkard, horSe-racer, q pro-
fame swearer, and the daily associate
through choice. of thieves, gamblers and
scoundrels of every class, how it mus
affect their own conduct: Before thi.
brazen image was set up by the Repub
lican party Washington with his pure
| life and clean hands was the model Il
which the youth of the land were point
| ed now Grant, with his bestial tastes
and low-bred ways. is the hero WHOSE
success is commended as worthy of gen
eral consideration. Nowhere, save il
the declining days of the Roman
Empire, can a leading man be founc
with personal character so base anC
contemplate. Whenever you try &
think of him there comes the image of
rough, sensuOus epicurean, wearing
greasy, seedy clothes, grasping ever!
dollar that he can get, from the gift of
house to the bride of bottle of whisky
continually consuming that noxiou
weed which King James described a
nasty, attending horse races, swearing
like trooper. and consorting with tn
vilest characters that the republic ha
produced. Nearly all kinds of animal
have been objects of alteration anon
men, but we have never heard of hJ
man being, except the American Radios
of q certain type, who wOrshiped tn
mire-wallowing hog.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MEETS.

We are to vote on three amendments
TO our state constitution next Tuesday.
We wish To call the attention of all voters
to the liability of getting them mixed and
of voting for some they do not wish to
support and against those they may
wish 20 vote for. Read them carefully.
Some are printed with the words both
"For" and against" on the tickets. One
of these words must be scratched out If
you wish your vote to count. For in
stance, if you want TO vote
for the temperance amendment see that
the word against is erased. If you want
to vote against the proposition for con-
stitutional convention, see that the word
| for is erased.
The temperance amendment has been
thoroughly agitated, and is understood
The friends of the measure should see
that their votes go in right. We believe
the proposition for constitutional con
vention should be defeated. It would
cost the state an immense sum of money
before we should get through with it,
without corresponding benefits. By
amendments we are getting our pres
ent constitution in fair shape
We had better postpone u convention
for some years yet. The other amend
ment submitted to the people seeks to
strike from the constitution, the claus
which exempts from taxation persona
property to the amount of $500 for eaci
family. While there are some reasons
why this should be adopted, Their
are weighiy ones against it, and we sup
pose 1t will be defeated by large ma

Of Kansas, in which he appeals with
frantic vehemence to his fellow Bour

and "drive from place and dominion the
usurpers that now control the govern

crimes against liberty and the rights of q
free people. "Usurpers and criminals ID
what this superb statesman" on q pro-
vincial scale is pleased TO term the men
to whose support he is indebted for
every position of public trust which he
ever occupied. The contemplate IN.
gratitude of Martin is not palliated by
the fact that the Republicans of Kansas
have only been fittingly rewarded for
their idiocy in voting upon various oc-
casions for the dirty copperhead which
they warmed into life that he might
turn and sting them.
