NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. MAY IA. 1881.
AT EVENING.

Upon the hills the wind is sharp and cold,
The sweet young grasses wither on the void,
And we, o Lord, have wandered from thy 1old;
But evening brings us home.
Among the mists we stumble, and the rocks,
Where the brown lichen whitens, and the fox
Watches the straggler from the scattered flOcks;
But evening brings us home.
The sharp thorns pick us, and our tender feet
Are cut and bleeding, and the lambs repeat
Their pitiful complaints-O, rest is sweet,
When evening brings us home.
We have been wounded by the hunters darts,
Our eyes are very heavy, and our hearts
Search for thy c0ming-when the light departs,
At evening, brings us home!
The darkness gathers. Through the gloom no
star
Rises to guide u.s. We have wandered far,
Without thy lamp we know not where we are
At evening brings us home!
The clouds are round us, and the snow-drifts
thicken, u
o, Thou, dear Shepherd, leaves us not to sicken
In the waste night-Our tardy footsteps quicken,
At evening brings us home!

RATIONAL TREATMENT, POSITIVE

DIR V. Pierce, President of:the worlds

ever seeing the patients, and having
also the largest sanitarium in the world

complicated cases, and also for surgical

ST. JOIN AND RAIEOADs.-The farmers of
Kansas are loudly demanding relief in the mat
ter of railroad transportation and freights.
They have been holding Convention at Tope-
ka, for the purpose of bringing their grievances
before the Legislature. The farming element
re-nominated Gov. st. John, and carried his tenn
perance amendment. Had it not been for them,
neither the Governor nor his hobby would have
seen daylight. The farmers have strong claims
upon the sympathy and assistance of st. John.
What has he done for themi What measure for
their relief has he recommended in his message
He makes an appeal for his temperance hobby,
but ho docs not even mention railroads, except
in two-linn paragraph, giving the number of
miles of road in operation in the State. He COM
mends the Agricultural Department, with one of
his pets at its head but he does not say word
about the farmers, or their needs. He has his
Office secure, and his hobbyadoptcd, and has no
further use for the farmers. On the contrary, he
belongs to the railroad companies, and will do
their bidding. The Legislature is full of rail-
road attorneys, and they have control of all im-
portant committees. The farmers may well
settle down to work on their farms for nothing
will be done, this winter, contrary to the wishes
or the interests of the railroads.

WE TRUST Nor 1t is very common, of late,
to read in the Washington specials that Garfield
will be advised by the Blaine men and others
who aided in his nomination, and give the cold
shoulder to Conkling and the Grant men. While
Blaine and his friends deserve hearty recogni-
tion by the incoming Administration, we hope
that he contemplates nothing of the kind, as in
dicated above, toward Conkling and Grant and
their friends. In fact, we do not believe that he
has any sueh thought. Garfield could not have
been elected without the aid of the Blaine men,
the Conkling men, and the Grant men. Indeed,
no man did more effectual work for him than
Gen. Grant himself. While Garfield should not
allow himself to be influenced by Conkling's
hates and animosities, he should give him due
honor and prominence. We believe that Gar
field has too much sound sense to attempt the
idiotic policy of the fraud who now occupies the
White House.

STATE PRNTER.-On Tuesday, Timothy D..
Thacher, of Lawrence, was elected State Printer,
receiving the entire Republican vote, George W.
Martin having withdrawn in the caucus, the
previous evening. Individually, Mr.. Martins
chances were the best, at the outset. But a syn
dicate of three or four persons was formed, to 60
"snacks' in the Office, sharing the profits, and
making the profits as large as possible, by doing
the work with the least possible cost to them
selves that it could be done and have the work
accepted. This ring were pledged against Mar
tin, all the time. Then, several country black
smiths and patent outside daubers from the ru-
raj districts came in as candidates, with shirt
tail full of supporters. Their object was black
mail, to compel Martin TO buy them off, As he
is not one of the buying kind, and found that he
could not win without resort to such practices
he drew out of the race. The same game would
have been played on Thaeher; but the Others,
in fighting Martin, had so pulled up Thacher
that the sudden change demoralized them, and
they could not bring their ofal-batteries to bear
upon him until he was safe. 1t is understood
that Thacher agreed to buy Martins establish
ment at fair valuation, that he will lose
nothing on il.

Fifty Years.

The readers of the Chief will pardon us small
space TO devote to ourself personally, especially
as we always cheerfully devote space to congrat-
ing friends upon important occasions in their
lives. We are upon the eve of an anniversary
of our own. Next Saturday, the 22d, we will
complete our fiftieth year; and as we may, if we
have good luck, live to be one hundred years OF
age, we shall have reached what may be called
the halfway house. As it happens, the day We
were born a Saturday; so that our fiftieth an
niversary finds us around to the same day Of the
week on which we started. In all probability,
the completion of our next fifty years, or the
next, will not occur again upon Saturday.
The first fifty years have dealt kindly with u.s.
No misfortune or especial bad luck has befailen
us. We find ourself fat and hearty, health good,
and feeling almost as much boy as We did
twenty-five years ago. We have, upon the whole.
a splendid list of patrons and therefore never
suffer for something to eat or wear, with ocea-
sionaIly something good to take. We can set as
much type, and work as many hours day, (54)
as weiever could, and, in fact, if it were not for
a few gray hairs, we could pass ourself of for
thirty. If we were a single man, we know we
should. We have worked steadily at the print
ing business for thirty-three years. During thir-
ty years of that time, We have gone to bed often
er after midnight than before. During those
long nights work setting type, working press,
making up mail, writing or reading, we have
had the benefit Of all manner Of eIecrable lights,
from the tallow-dip to cloudy coal-oil; yet, with
all the abuse to which We have subjected our
eyes, we have never worn glasses, nor felt the
need of them. We came to Kansas weighing l35
pounds; now we pull down 1s5. Our appetite
and digestion are good, and we sleep the sweet
sleep of the virtuous.
Having said thus much of ourself, We hope to
talk TO our readers on general topics for the COM
ing fifty years, and trust that they may all con-
tinue in tho land of the living, and stay with
ms during that time.

~ While at Topeka, We met Ira C. Buick,
of Lincoln County, who informed us that he and
another gentleman had been elected State Sena-
tor at large for the great Western District, and
they were at Topeka for the purpose of present
ing their claims to seats. If the people OF West
ern Kansas are destitute in some respects they
do not lack for cheek. II is true, that the Sena-
torial District they claim to represent is very
large, and has increased greatly in population,
since the last appOrtiOnment; but this is thing
that will befall any new country. There is no
precedent or authority for admitting them, and
they must find relief in the new apportionment
to be made this Winter. A great many other
Districts and Counties have outgrown all expec-
tations since the last apportionment; but they
are all biding their time.

"FARMERs' AIIIAScE."-Last week, at Tope-
ka, n convention of farmers met, under the name
of Farmers Alliance" call for which had
been published for some weeks. The object was
to take measures to induce the Legislature to re-
lievc the farmers from the effects of railroad ex-
tortion. 1t was good purpose, and something
the farmers are badly in need of. But We are
afraid the thing was an utter failure. Why it
was so, will readily be understood, when we
mention that the shyster, Sam. Wood, the old
hypocrite, Elder Mitchell, the Played-Out fraud,
p. p. Elder, and other similar cattle, were there
in force, and attempted to run the thing. They
ruin everything they take hold Of Their last
victim was the Greenback party. They thought
they saw in this Farmers Alliance" chance
for a new party, in which they could become lead
crs, and humbug the people for a season longer.
We are sorry for the farmers; but even farmers
cannot come in contact with rotten eggs without
getting in bad odor.
