The Lawrence Standard, in speaking of the
newspapers of Kansas, says:
There is scarcely a newspaper man in the
State who does not work hard from twelve to
sixteen hours day, while many ofhis neighbors
The newspaper man is public slave. He labors
for his town, his neighbors and his State-con-
tent with a.bare living, while his neighbors are
laboring for themselves and generally prosper
ing. We have q. somewhat extensive acquaint.
ance with the newspaper men of the State, and do
not believe that Kansas contains . more patient,
persistent, enthusiastic, self-sacrifcing, hard
working or poorer paid set of men than they.
They are the wheel-horses of our social and pO-
liticai organizations
And why is it that they are kept poor and their
papers SO often obnoxious to the criticism of
dizziness and lack enterprise? Simply because
they are not patronized to an extent that enables
them TO be otherwise, or according to the good
they do their localities and the State. Too many
men who are directly indebted te their local pa
pers for the prosperity they add their towns en-
joy, send off east for some pretentious dollar
weekly, and never think Of taking the little
county paper printed in their town. 1t sounds

and keep itself alive. They say: ''It'- Of no

many who are reaping the benefits of its efforts
day after day, do not patronize it. There are
thousands Ofbusiness men in Kansas who do not
advertise dollars worth in their home papers
from one years end to another, yet that paper,
week after week, is doing more to bring people to
that town, and to bring business to these very
men who ''can't afortP' to take their home

'costs too much, they ''can't afford it, - or

many such men in our travels about the State
during the past year. We say to them and to
every man: Take your home paper. IfyOu can

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescription of DR..
A. Boschee, celebrated German Physician, and
is acknowledged to he one of the most fortunate
discoveries in Medicine. 1t quickly cures Coughs,
Colds and all Lung troubles of the severest ma
ture, removing, as it does the cause of the anec-
ton and leaving the parts in u strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an experiments
medicine, but has stood the test of years, giving
satisfaction in every case, which its rapidly in
creasng sale every season confirms. Two mil
lion bottles sold annually. Beware of medicines
of similar names, lately introduced. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the United
States in 1868, and is now sold in every town and
village in the civilized world. Three doses will
relieve any ordinary cough. Price 75 cents.

ssOccasiOnal'' Correspondents.

The Boston Transcript gives the fol
lowing nine commandments to those wht
write now and Their to the press:
l. Write upon one side of the leaf
only. Why? Because it is often neces.
sary to cut the pages into 'takes'' for the
com pnsitors, and this cannot be done
when both sides are written upon.
2. Write clearly and distinctly, being
particularly careful in the matter o.
proper names and words from foreign
languages. Why? Because you have nc
right to ask either editor or composition
to waste his time pulling out the result
of your selfish carelessne>s.::
3. Don't write in microscopic hand.
Why? Because the composition has to
read it across his case at a distance Of
nearly two feet. Also, because the edi.
tor often wants to make additions and
other changes.
4. Don't begin at the very top Of tire
first page. Why? Because if you have
written a head for your article the editor
will probably want TO change it, and il
you have n0t-whicl, is the better way
he must write one. Besides, he wants
room in which to write his instructions
to the printer as to the type to he used,
where and when the proof is to be sent,
etc.
5. Never roll your manuscript. Why
Because it maddens and exasperates ev.
cry one who touches it-editor, compos
itor and proof reader.
6. Be brief Why? Because people
don't read long stories. The number OF
readers which any two articles have is
inversely proportioned " the square OF
their respective lengths. That is, a halt
column article is read by four times a
many people as one one Of double that
length.
Z. Have the fear of the waste basket
cons. antly and steadily before your eyes.
Why? Because it will save you vast
amount of useless labor, to say nothing
of paper and postage.
s. Always write your full name and
address plainly at the end of your letter.
Why Because it will often happen that
the editor will want to communicate
with you, and because he wants to know
the writer's name IS q guarantee of good
faith. If you use pseudonym or initi-
ais, write your own name and address
below il. 1t will never be divulged.
9. "These precepts in thy memory
keep," and. far fear you might forget
them, cut them out and put them where
you can readily run through them when
tempted to spill innocent ink.

eevslA. Of the States, for the performance of
their duty, or the free expression Of their opin-
ions. The Government has been weak and
blameworthy, ever since the war, in that it has
not made its authority and protection more full
~ respected It was weak, In this respect.
during the eight years when General Grant was
President, and massacres and assasinations were
never more frequent than at that time; it has
been weak in the same respect since the inaugur-
alton OF President Hayes. The people want =
President who will put stop to assassination rs
q mode of conducting political campaign, and
who will take care that the laws be enforced
without unnecessary exposure Of the lives of un-
supported officials by mobs of law-breakers or
rebels. We do not believe that the Republican
party will nominate or elect any man this year
without stuff to give the country strong Gov
eminent in this respect. Ha
A strong Government is wanted to protect the
right of the United States and those of its citizens
in other lands. This country is tired of having
its flag treated with contempt, and its citizens
forced to fly for protection to British counses or
British ships. 1t is tired of having foreign COM
panies, protected by foreign Governments, es-
tablishing themselves in the control of highways
between the Atlantic and the Pacific 1t believes
that the United States ought to have as much of u
foreign policy as will compel foreign nations to
respect the natural rights of the United States ON
American soil, and the rights of American citi-
zens everywhere.
1t this sense y strong Government is demanded
by the best and most conservative thought of the
country. There is q conviction that Demo-
cratic Congress is q pitlful congregation of
wretched incompetents, and that Democratic
President would be not much better There is 4
belief that the Government of the United States
ought to be strong enough to have an intelligent
and honest policy as to the performance of its
financial obligations; policy which its executive
head should not urge in vain upon the attention
| of Congress. There is feeling that Cancellation
toward Southern rebels and Northern revOltiOn-
lists may as well stop, if it encourages fraud and
| violence and utter supervision of rightfdl self
government. 1t is not surprising that the Dem
ocrats object to strong government of that sort.
But they will have to put up with it, whatever
candidate the Republican party may see at to
nominate and elect, for that party does not mean
| to elect any man who will not give us q strong
Government. -Neu York Tribune

Democratic and Republican
Ideas.


In our American politics the democratic party
has idealized liberty, and the republican party
equality, the two main objects sought bv our
form of government; and the difference between
these two ideals, OF their respective emphasis,
constitutes the main difference between the prin-
ciples of the two parties. The Democratic party
would have. in q general way, all kinds Of lib
erty, and liberty to the greatest extent. The
republican party would have all kinds Of equal
ity, and equality in every particular. The dem
ocratic party would have. - far as practicable,
liberty from rulers, from laws, and from the
central government; liberty of trade, Of speech,
and Of the press; liberty of assembling, of arm
ing and even of expressing The republican
party would have equality of individuals, Of
races, and of colOrs; equality Of sections, Of
states and Of religions; equality Of rights and Of
powers, equality enforced by constitutions and
by laws; and equality guaranteed against both
the states and the general government. Esdh
party has taken . term-liberty and equality
respectively-and analysed and perfected ito
meaning, and drawn out and clustered about Is
all that it implies or suggests 1t Is the distine-
ton between these two ideals a thus constructed
and their clashing in the attempt to reslizd them
in their unlimited application that constitute the
yearly issues in our politics.
The Democratic party from its standpoint Of
liberty, would have all liberty; while the repub-
lican party, from its standpoint Of equality,
would have liberty for all. The democrats have
wanted liberty even to enslaye, while the repub-
licans have wanted bonds, even on the free.
against slavery. The democrats considering the
interests and progress Of liberty to consist in the
extension of its degree and the republicans in the
extension of its subjects, the former have always
wanted to make men more flee. while the latter
have wanted to make more free men. The dem
ocrats would select portion of the race to be
made perfectly free, while the republicans would
take all and make them Is free rs possible. The
democrats, in short, want unequal liberty, while
the republicans want equal restraints. The
form are willing to sacrifice some OF the people
that the rest may be free; while the latter are
willing to sacrifice some Of our rights that all
may have the rest. The democrats looking over
the whole range of liberties, and the republicans
over the whole range Of men, in their ideals, the
former viii not sacrifice anything for all, the
latter will not sacrifice anybody for anything.
The democrats will not bind themselves partially
for the freedom Of the whole, the republicans win
not bind anybody wholly for the freedom Of .
part.-G00d CoMps1y.

Aqueer conspiracy, that if carried into

fraudulent report on the Nicaraugu claims
pale with insignifcance has Just been I'M.
earthed in the House Committee on Indian
Affairs. Some days ago Judge Scales, OF
that committee, went home to North
Carolina, whereupon General Hunter, OF
Mississippi succeeded him as chairman.
Hunter is generally opposed to the ap-
preparation committee, and as soon as he
temporarily succeeded TO the chair on
Indian affairs several meetings OF the com.
mittee were hello, and someimportant bust.
ness undertaken. A copy Of the Indian
appropriation bill was sent for, and COM
munications opened up with Secretary
Schurz, with the Indian Commissioner and
with the chief clerk Of the Indian Bureau
on the subject OF the financial wants ofthe
Indian service. The result of their delib'
erations were an addition to the Indian
appropriation bill amounting to 500, 1000.
This was approved by the committee, and
was to have been reported as substitute
for the regular Indian appropriation bill,
but at the last moment, as often occurs in
conspiracies, the conspirators weakened,
and none ofthem had courage enough to
offer the result OF their unlawful labors to
the House. The Indian committee has no
authority 10 report appropriation bills.

.TuE first two Republican National Con.
yentions ever held-it is we'll observed by
the Albany Jotrnal-camo together in re-
Spouse to calls for delegates from "each
Congressional district" The Conven-
tons Of 1884 at Baltimore; 1858, at Chi
csgo; 1872, at Philadelphia; and 1876, at
Cincinnati, were conducted somewhat
differently. They authorized each State
to send number of delegates equal to
"twice the number bits members of Con.
gress, or equal to twice the number OIL
Its Presidential Electors" Spite Of the
call by States, the Conventionsof 1868 and
1875 abrogated, or disregarded, the unit
rule adopted by State Conventions. Now
It appears that the call for the Chicago
Convention returns to the earliest practice
ofthe party. Republicans this year are
invited to send two delegates trom each
Congressional district, four at large from
each State, two from each Territory, and
two from the District Of Columbia" This
shows that the original wording of the cal
has been resumedi and that-whether &c
cidental or uot-the Republican party has
gone back to the earlier Conventions OIL
1855 and 1850 in giving more prominence
to district representation. 1.-THE National
Convention could not regard the unit rule
when the call was issued to States how can
it do SO when the call is 10 districtsf
Representation by district is the true and
fair plan. 1t should be adopted not only
this year by the Chicago Convention, but
for all time.
