EIRMNESS-
[FrOm Nye's Boomerang


We were panied to to see large mule
brought into town yesterday with his off
side worn away until it looked very thin.
1t looked as though the peusivc mule
had laid down to think over his past
life, and being in the company of seven
other able bodied mules, all of whom
were attached to a government wagon
going down a mountain, this particular
animal, while wrapped in brown study,
had been pulled several miles with so
much JUNCTION, as it we're, that when
the tram stopped it was found that
this large and highly accomplished male
had worn his side off so thin that you
could see his Utmost thoughts.
When we saw him, he looked as
though if he had his life to live over
again, he would select different time
to ponder over his previous history.
Sometimes mules fr.nness causes mis-
teetota and everlasting overthrow.
Firmness is good thing in its place.
but we should early learn that to be
firm we need not stand up against cy
clone until our internal economy is
blown in the tops Of the neighborlng
trees. Moral courage is a good thug
hut it is useless unless you have liver
to go along with it. Sometimes a man
is required to lay down his life for his
principle, but the cases where he is ex-
peeled to lay down his digestar on the
altar of his belief are comparatively
seldom.
We may often learn valuable lesson
from the stubborn mule, and guard against
the too protuberant use of our ideas IN
opposition to other powers against which
it IS useless to contend It may bt
wrong for giant powder to blow the TOT
of mans head off without cause, bu
repeated contests have proved that even
when giant powder is in the wrong it Ii
eventually victorious.
Let US therefore, while reasonably
fixed in our purpose, avoid the display
of a degree Of irmuess which will scat
ter us around over two school district
and confuse the coroner in his inquest.

WILLIAM BISSELL, Editor.
a Wild Kansas Ride.

Buffalo Bill tells new story about his
first ride with Custer. SIN 1867" he
says, Il was post guide and scout at
Fort Hays, Kansas. Before that time
1 had met Gen. Custer WREN he was
stationed at old Fort Fletcher, but I was
not well acquainted with him. One
evening early in June he came to Fort
Hays with only light escort and was
on forced march to Fort Larned, which
is 65 miles from the former place. At
that time there were, of course, no rail-
road connections. When the general
expressed a wish for some guide to &C.
company him the commanding officer de-
tailed NE and orders were given to start
at daylight the following morning. At
the time my best long distance horse was
a big mouse colored mule, AID as l had
heard what lightning traveller Custer
was L knew that only my best runner
would do to keep ahead of the 'Whirl-
wind as the Indians called him. l
thought would be prompt and ahead
of the general at day light, but when l
arrived he was already on the ground
with his staff and orderlies. When l
rode up I noticed him cycling the animal
I was riding and when l announced that
1 was to be his guide he aSsented, but
said 1 would have to get a better horse.
1t would, l would find, take something
better than an old mule to keep ahead Of
him. l vigorously maintained that the
mule could get over siAty-fve miles as
quick as any horse he had, and he seem
ed to be satisfied when the post COM
mander spoke up and confirmed what l
said. For the first ten miles [ had TO
use the spurs pretty lively to keep the
general from riding over me, but after
crossing the Smoky Hill river and get
Ting on into the sand hills the mule got
his second wind. He commenced to
leave Clusters Kentucky thoroughbred,
aud the soldier in time acknowledged
that was riding a pretty good horse.
For a long time we kept up this rapid
travel, his escort being scattered out for
miles behind, and as the country was
dangerous the general called halt, to let
the men close up and become less con-
venient targets for vagrant bands Of In
dians. When we started again l made
up my mindto show him what a good
mule can do. and struck a gait which
astonished him Sc much that he did not
call for another halt. We left the escort
to follow as best they could, and before
noon the general and myself rode into
Fort Larned. The escort struggled in
for hours during the day"

The vote cast in this State for
Congressman at the late election was
one of the smallest ever polied. Nor
is this to be wondered at, in view of
the fact that there was no contest in
the First District, and very little in
the First or Second. As far as can
be ascertained now, the entire vote
will not exceed 50, 450, as compared
with a vote for Congressman in 1880
of 81, 1O1, decreasr of IA. 66l. Had
it not been for somewhat large vote
of 1915 polled in the city, in con-
sequence of the municipal contest, q
still larger decrease would have been
chronicled. The city, as will be
seen. cast "a per cent. of the entire
vote of the State, considerably more
than its average proportion. The
falling off, however, is not the same
with the two parties, the Democracy
being the heaviest sufferer. Thus,
the total vote stands: Democrats,
49, 1855; Republicans and Greenhack
ers. 80, 395, leaving Democratic ma.
iority Of 1870, as against a Demo-
cratic majority Of 1878 in 1880.
