people. None of them were needing
collins, either. IL,
old man Eli Stone was taken SICK
before the undertakers had eomprom'
ised matters, and was not keeping
abreast with the coffin war. he was
known TO be the most contrary man III
Nevada. He was old and failed rap
idly. The doctors told him to make
whatever preparations he desired as
the end was not far off. A lawyer, be-
ing called in, was writing the old mans
will. The dying mans words were
scarcely audible, and he would have to
cease speaking, at short intervals, to get
his heeting breath. He could hear
well. As the writing of the will pro-
crossed, he overheard some OF his
friends in another room talking about
the monopoly in cofins-the unheard
of charges. He told the lawyer to stop
right where he had got. Said he was
not going to die. He didn't.
The feeling of hostility toward
Hotchkiss increased. There were NUT
terings for day or two. Finally mob
gathered in front of his establishment.
The men composing the mob did
not appear to be suffering for collins
either. They were healthy looking,
and some of them would have weighed
200 pounds. One Dutchman-he was
very mad-would have weighed 400
pounds. No one ever thought of his
being buried in cofin-nothing short
of hogshead would hold him. The
men hardly knew how to proceed, their
knowledge of mobbing coffin shops be-
ing quite limited. 1t was at first pro-
rosed to burn the building and con-
tents. This was objected to, as it would
leave the town without collins, and,
consequently, without inducements to
the citizens to die. Then one infuri-
ated little man shouted:
"We can't use his cofins!"
81 don't want to use one,' said an
other.
burned # I do" exclaimed a third.
"Me, nuther," chimed in a man
dressed in buckskin.
And "me, nuther, "iseemed to be the
general feeling.
At last, Hotchkiss, speaking through
an auger-hole, agreed to compromise.
He was to reduce prices for poor people,
and where whole family died, to allow
them excursion rates. s.
Old Eli Stone got we'll. It was thought
he would put up an opposition under
takers shop and punish Hotchkisss for
his meanness. No. He presented
Hotchkiss with a 5000 gold watch,
inscribed, "Yours gratefully. 1.-The

What Female Suffrage Will Do.

It will be suddenly discovered that

for woman who works fourteen hours
over n washtub while man who SHOW
els dirt ten hours gets $3.50. 1t will
suddenly occur to great many people
that young lady who stands behind a
counter selling goods, earns as much
wages as the young man by her side,
who spends three ffths of his time
twisting his moustache, and the other
two-ffths chattering with acquaintance
who happen in the store. 1t will then
develop that q lady teacher in the pub

disciplining and teaching a room full
of restless, wide-awake, irrepressible
boys and girls, and occupies her even
ings over long tables of standing and
computing averages, aud devotes Sat-
urday to the institute, renders as much
service and is entitled to as much re-

The Campaien "Republican."

THE WEEKLY NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is
the best Liberal and anti-Bourbon cam
paign document that can be circulated in
the South.
The weekly edition is handsome
double-sheet of eight pages and fifty-six
columns.
THE WEEKLY REPUBLICAN will be fur
nished during the campaign, up to and
including November 8, for TWENTY CENTS
esch subscriber, postage paid by pub
Usher.
No other paper in the country has been
such an effective champion of the Lib
eral and anti-Bourbon movement in
the South as THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
and the remarkably low rate at which it
is now offered during the campaign
should secure for it a very large circu-
lation. Now is the time to subscribe.

dent and the measures proposed by the
House cannot go through the Senate
without Democratic consent This is
because the Republican party has been
cheated out of at least dozen Senators
from Southern States.
The remedy for all this is not in Fed
eral bayonets. These were tried and
failed Force is at best but q temporary
eXpedient. The changed temper of those
who resist law is the final medicine for
the political ills of the South. This
comes only with changed temper in the
North.
A strong Union feeling is manifestihg
itself among the Southern people. In
Virginia it has swept down all barriers,
and will have its way. Other States
have caught the inspiration. North
Carolina and Tennessee will never more
be under Bourbon rule. Is not this good
for the cause of Republicanism, which,
after all, only means the Union, the
Constitution, and the enforcement of the
laws H' 1t is this growth which narrow
ness, bigotry and treachery would arrest.
To enable Bourbonism to regain its sway,
Mr.. Blaine eXhorts the Republicans to
break up the anti-Bourbon majority by
separating from the unconditional
Union men, without whose aid the Re-
publcans of Virginia are as powerless as
they have been during the past ten years.
Can such advice be honest?
Shall the South be met as rapidly as it
becomes nationalized? Or shall petty
personal schemes and revenges give the
North to the Bourbon foe? Shall we
follow those who howl against the party
as machine in States where it is a
majority, but who sickle for political
straightoutism where it is admitted to be
powerless?

LOVE AND VISION.

My love is more than life TO me,
And you look on and wonder
In what can that enchantment be
You think labor under.
Yet you, too, have you never gone
Some wet and yellow ev,n
Where russet moors reach on and on
Beneath windy heaven?
Brown moors which at the westernedge
A watery sunset brushes,
With misty rays yon sullen ledge
Ofclouds casts down on the rushes.
You see no more; but shade your eyes,
Forget the showeTy weather,
Forget the wet, tempestuous skies,
And look upon the heather.
Oh, fniryland. fairylandl
II sparkles, lives and dances;
BY every gust swayed down and fannedj
And every raindrop glances.
Never in Jewel or wine the light
Burned like the purple heather;
And some is the palest pink, some white,
Swaying and dancing together.
Every stem Is sharpened clear,
Every bell is ringing
No doubt some tune we do not hear
For the thrushes' sleepy singing.
Over all, like the bl oom on grape,
The lilac seeding grasses
Have made haze, vague, without shape,
For the wind TO change as II passes.
Under all is the budding ling
Gray-green with scarlet notches,
BOssed with many mOssy thing
And gold with llchen blotches.
Here and there slim rushes stand
Aslant like carried lances.
] saw It and called II iairylandi
You never saw It, the chance is
Brown mooIs and stormy skies that kiss
Al eve In rainy weather.
Pronounce on that-what the heather Is
know, for saw the heather.

REPUBLICANS, whenever you hear the
Bourbons roar loudly they are hurt
hence the noise they make about Chal-
mers. Don't mind displeasing them.
They are against us. Chalmers's inde-

More About the SneaISs.

Our Bourbon morning contemporary
comes to the rescue of the political
sneaks who, while pretending to be Re-
publicans, find themselves compelled by
painful sense of duty to aid the Kelly
Tilden combination in New York be-
cause President Arthur is so unworthy q
citizen and Secretary Folger so incor-
rigible ward politician. The Post is
making game of its readers when it pro-
fesses to respect the mercenaries and
malignants who are now polluting the
political atmosphere with their fetid
breath as they shout their curses against
a President honored by all classes
whose praise is not a reproach. The
mean excuses made by these sneaks
for their conduct in New York are char
acteristic of their class, being fimsy
false, and transparent. Take for example
the rascally trick played upon Commits
sioner French in handing him forged
telegraphic proxy to sit in the State Com
mittee. This is gravely set forth as cause
for aiding in giving New York to Kelly
and Tilden. Say the sneaks, this trick
helped control the State Committee to
nominate Madden for chairman of the
convention. Behold how plain tale
puts them down. The convention paid
no attention to the committees recon-
mendation, but elected Madden on a call
of the roll, at which no delegate voted
for him who did not want him to pre-
side. Mr.. Pitts received nearly as
many votes, but not enough. Could
anything be fairer than this? The
sneaks are those editors who pre-
tend to feel awfully over the disasters
which they predict, but which they fear
they cannot cause. The editor of the
Post would not trust such creatures within
digging distance of silver coffin plate
We are not advocating any allegiance to
the President. He is only one man in a
great party. But we shall not argue, for
the editication of political confidence
men, that he is not SO very bad man
after all, nor cease to say that their
affected distrust of him is the mere inso-
lence of very brassy knaves. We feel
no more awe in the presence of such
mountebanks than we would Of 80 many
counterfeiters of coin. They are politi-
cal swindlers, endeavoring to cheat
honest folks into voting against their
convictions on false representations
The only reasoning required in their
case is to show them up. Read the New
York Commercial Aduertiser for that.
