The Pound Bolt.

The Chicago Tribune reports an in
terview with ex-Secretary Kirkwood on
the Pound bolt" He says Pounds
statements in his boiling letter are so
wildly extravagant as to show their ut
ter unreliability. Pound, he says,
seems to hold Mr.. Blaine responsible for
all the mistakes of the Republican par
ty for the last twenty years. including
the six years in which the Wisconsin
statesman thinks he was prominent
Republican member of Congress
Pound also attributes to Mr.. Blaine all
the evils arising from Safeguarding in
New York and grain-gambling in Chi
cago, and Mr.. Kirkwood is astonished
that the solitary Wisconsin boter does
not hold Mr.. Blaine responsible for all
the wind and hill storms and cyclones
of the last two or three years. The ex-
Secretary of he Interior intimates that
Mr.. Pound has q personal grievance
against Mr.. Blaine which he nurses as
some men nurse pet boil, and with the
same effect upon his temper" Pound
dislkes Mr.. Blaine for the friends he
has made, and they constitute almost
all the Republican party. which pos
sesses much the greater portion of the
brains and conscience of the country.
Mr.. Kirkwood quotes from Senators
Dawes and Hosr in enlogy of Mr..
Blaine, and recalls the fact. which Mr..
Pound and others like him seem to for
get, that Gen. Garfield, who knew Mr..
Blaine thoroughly tor many years, chose
him as the chief of his cabinet in 1881
with the approval of the whole Nation.
The War Governor of Iowa concluded
his interview with the remark that
when Mr.. Pounds boil gets well
he will wish he had not writ
ten that letter against Mr.. Blaine.
That viii be about the night of the 9th
of November.

The Crank in Politics.

The crank is generally very harm
less individual until he undertakes to
NEEDLE in politics. The concentration
Of his mind on politics, has tendency
to make the crank only more cranky.
He can't have his own way. His pet
schemes are always being ignored, and
strength enough to secure nominations.
And then the crank bolts the ticket.
And as he always imagines himself
"the people," Of course he imagines
that the people have bolted, and in his
mind he sees dire disaster and defeat
swooping down on the party whose
nominations he has bolted In politics,
the crank is sometimes one thing, some
times another, oftener an "Independ-
ent,n but always a ''crank," and dis
turbing element and curse to any par
ty that he may claim to belong to.
Sometimes the crank is an editor His
paper is independent, generally
independent Republican. "Repub-
lican' because he thinks his power to
do mischief is greater inside of the par
ty lines than outside. For every one of
these Independent" cranks who bolt

to escape political association with him.
stand ready to step into the ranks to
take his place As an enemy, the crank
is harmless; as friend only is he dan
gerous. There is no room nor place for
him or his snivelIing independence"
in the Republican ranks. Kick him
out!

Fall In.

The Republican party is very large
institution, but the fact was pretty
clearly demonstrated two years ago,
that it is not quite large enough for two
parties; and it is time that all differ
euces were healed, and that all who
have the good of the party and the
principles it represents ut heart, should
cease their chickering's, and their refer.
ences to old differences and quarrels,
and, standing shoulder to shoulder, pour
their shot into the enemy's ranks, in
stead of waiting for opportunities to
slash at each other. In fractional con-
tests in party ranks, argument is use
less, for no amount of il will convince
either faction that their course has been
wrong. Persons do not always look at
questions from the same standpoint;
but every true Republican, looking
from Republican standpoint at the
Democratic party, sees danger to the
prosperity of the country in Democrat
ic success and Democratic ascendency.
Let past differences in the party be bur-
led, now and forever, and for the good
of the country. and also for the sake of
change and little diversion, let us
all so in and whoop it up to our old en-
envy, the Democratic party.

A Temperance Man.

A gentleman took the pledge, but
somehow his abstinence from the mod
crate quantity of wine he was accus-
toned to drink did not agree with him.
His doctor was sent for, who recon-
mended slight alcoholic stimulant.
This advice was received with horror.
How can l." said the sick man, "vio-
late my vow? / have forbidden my
servants the beer which they love so
well, and | am going to preside at a
blue ribbon meeting next week. All
/ can say" said the doctor, SIS that a
stimulant is necessary for your health.
You had better get bottle of whisky
and hide it away, and when your shay
ing water comes up just mix yourself a
tumbler of whisky and water The
doctor departed, and, meeting the pa
TENTS servant a week afterward, he
asked him how his master was going on.
"Oh, very well as to bodily health, "
was the reply; "but, between you and
me, sir, think he has gone wrong in
his head he has taken to shaving him

The subject of school hygiene is one
of great Importance to the rising gener-
alton, and is receiving the attention of
educators everywhere. The authorities
of France have taken up the question
of the health of school children. A
commission on the subject was appoint
ed sometime ago, and its report is now
before the Minister of Education. In
it there are some remarks about clean
illness that were to be expected as mat
ter of course, and some conclusions
about costumes that are rather surpris-
ing. 1t seems that French children
generally, and especially the children of
the very poor are dressed much too
warmly. In the school-room they wear
nearly all the outer garments and wraps
which they wear out of doors. The
same mistake is made by children in
our own schools. There is more danger
of being too warm than too cold in
doors, and the matter of clothning as
we'll as ventilation should be carefully
observed by teachers.

Tribute to the Memory of Good Man.

The genial frank and sterling nature
and character of Richard Bennett won
for him true respect, warm friendship,
and high esteem wherever he was
known, whether in his native "Merrie
England" where his youth and early
manhood was spent, or in British Hol-
low or Lancaster, Wis, where his prime
and maturer years were spent in act
i've life; or in beautiful Oakland, where
he rested from his labors and from
whence his labors will follow him. As
business man he was sagacious, con-
sciencious and trustworthy; as a citizen,
intelligent, honorable and upright, his
word always as good as his bond; as a
friend, true, faithful and sympathetic:
as q Christian-devout, sincere and
cousistent-a leader of the faithful, ev-
erywhere and under all circumstances,
ian honest man, the noblest work of

ssHOp.Tode. and Bear Stories.

"Little Johnny's" stories from nature
have no written moral. but the reader
can generally pick out one. Here are
two good specimens of boy narrative:
One time frog and hop-tode they
met, and the frog sassed the hop-tode
cos it was clumsy, but the tode it sed,
IF you will come here on this flat stone
where we can start even, lie beat you
jumping hi, best two out of three" So
they done it, and the first time the tode
it only jest cleered the stone, but the
frog it went up so high that it hurt it.
self coming down, and cudn't jump no
more at all, and the tode beat it the
other two times.
And now lie tell you story about a
bear. One day the bear he went among
a flock of sheep and picked out nice
little labm, and cot it, and the labm it
said ba-ba-ba!" cause it kanew it was a.
going for to be ct every little tiny bit
up. But the bear took it in his fore
poz, like it was baby, and set it up
full length and rocked it, and sed,
There, there, never mine, my precious
darlin', were does it hurt you?" But
the labm keep hollerin' louder and
louder, cos vile the bear was a-smiling'
and singin' hush boy, he was a-ska-
weezin' liter and liter all the time.
Bime by the ole ramb he seen wot
was up, and he dropped his he'd, the ole
ramb did, and come like he was shot
out of gun and let him have it in the
stumack and dubbed him up like he was
a razor and set him n r0l1in' over and
over without his preshous darlin'
Just then he see how it was, for there
stood the old ramb a-holding down his
head ready for to LET. him have it agin,
and shakin' it like he said
THAT little shaver wudent make
more than a moufe for q TELLER like
you. l guess you better serve up the
ole man"
But the bear, he walked off, sayin';
Il don't banker after dinner which

Good Old Democratic DAYS,

Charges of official corruption brought
against the Republican party in the
management of National affairs, come
with poor grace from Democratic
sources. They cry 'stop thief" to COW
er up the thieving rascality of thcir-own
party. Their below for reform when
out of Office is IN marked contrast with
the record Of their siealings when they
were in power. 1t would be well for
these self-righteous Democrats to take a
retrospective glance Mt the past history
of their party while in power going
back, for instance, TO the palmy days
of Jackson. The defalcation of Samu-
el Swartwout, collector of customs at
New York under President Jackson 5
administration, according TO report of
committee, Twenty fifth Congress, third
session. No. 313. amounted to the sum
of 81, 225, 705. jesse Hoyt, Swartwout's
successor from 1888 to 1871, followed
the example of his lluslrious prcdeces-
sor and stole from the government the
sum of $24S,S Sol, and like Swartwout,
was allowed to go sect free. Here then
is the sum of S1.447, Az stolen from the
Government by two Democratic officials
under the Democratic rule. Following
down thro' the different new admins
trations from the term of Andrew Jack
son to the end of the most corrupt and
theving administration of James Blu
chanan, it will be seen that stealing was
the order of the day in all departments
of the Government. In verilieation of

plunderers are given below, the office
they held and the amount stolen by

The stilted Alterations and petty foibles
of the class denominated show people are
as amusing sights as any presented for the
elification' of the people of the wild West.
Many of these people seem to consider it
a vast condescension to stop over in a city
like Cheyenne, and to properly contain
their lofty assumptions the corporate
limits should be extended eighteen or
twenty miles in each direction. Some Of
the giddy members of the theatrical com
binatons imagine that it is only necessary
for them to appear in the streets to excite
the most open-mouthed amazement on
the part of the natives. They all hail
from New Yawk," and have acquired the
silly notion that nature does not produce
men outside of the metropolis. Many of
the actors strut along the streets with
assumptions of grandiose airs that are
laughably absurd. The cut of their cloth
ing is only less extraordinary than the pat
tern of the goods, and they indulge in an
a~fluencc of shirt collar, which leaves the
impression that they secure their linen by
wholesale contracts direct from the fac
tory. Their display of seal and diamond
rings is profuse and %extravagant, while
the prodigious showing of fob chains and
lockets and charms would possibly stir the
the heart of a Baxter street broker. A
much smaller proportion of actresses are
given to these outlandish affectations, yet

ALTHOUGH it was not presented until q
late hour last night we, this morning, pre-
sent to our readers the complete platform
adopted by the Democratic Convention.
None will deny that it is an able docu-
ment, and as compared with hating
historic and mosaic platitudes of
the Republican platform its decided
tone and vigorous language cannot
but command for it the genuine respect
and hearty sympathy of the American
voters. The arraignment Of the Republi-
can party is peculiarly incisive, and plain
truths that should startle the people are
so compactly stated and with such direct
force that he who rum may read. We
feel that the positions assumed or all the
questions of lively public concern will meet
with general approval.
