and accepted by the government until in No
vember, 1881, after Chester A. Arthur be-
came President. Also, that on the 18th Of
December, 1880, the president Of the road
wrote Mr.. Schurz that the reason he wanted
this certificate was because, under the plan Of
reorganization, the company could only issue
bonds on a road that had been accepted; and
the president further stated that the bankers
had requested the certificate asked for. I'm
sued the certificate. Put all the Fisher
Blaine letters by the side of this letter and
the act of Mr.. Schurz, and see if there is any
thing approaching the corruption and prosti-
tuition of official power in the one case equal

great an act Of kind injustice, put up the
money for the purchase Of the New York
Evening Post, and Mr.. Schurz was installed
as editor at a fine salary, he thus becoming
the beneficiary of those whom he had used
his official power to befriend. For this act Of
maladministration Mr.. Schurz was attacked
by those with whom he is cheek-by -jowl to-
day, bowling in chorus about the corruption
of James g. Blaine. The New York World
denounced him broadly, as did other Demo
cratic papers all over the land, and George W.
Julian maintained most caustic controversy
with him over this waste of the public do
main. We call the attention of Mr.. Schurz
and of the public to this matter simply to
show how easy it is to convict a public man
of corruption" by malicious and maladroit
Misrepresentation. Can Mr.. Schurz afford to

against Mr.. Blaine and maligning at least one
half of the people of the whole country9

they address It is of piece with the stuff
uttered by Mr., Hendricks, Mr.. Voorhees,, Mr.
Pendleton, and other Democrats, during the

steam presses could turn it out and give to
every man wheelbarrowful of greenbacks

THE Charleston, s. c., News grows quite
eloquent in its expressions of admiration for
the mobile and disinterested' Northern indie
pendents, but declares Southern independent
leaders to be nothing but political Hessians,
whose sole aim is to obtain the spoils of Office
by supporting any candidate that will pay his
price. The difference is explained BY the fact
that the boilers in the South are departing
from insteadof entering the Democratic party;
but there is really no necessity for calling
such hard names. No one in the North has
yet been heartless enough to accuse the high
moral kickers Of having sold themselves to
the Democracy for price, whatever may be
the secret conviction. Such charge would
be cruelty to animals that is to say, to the
Democratic animals, who, if they engaged in
any commercial transaction of the kind, have
since found themselves badly sold

judge had by no means confined his attention to

thus crushing the belief of the military firt with
the belief that he alone is irresistible the judge
adds the final blow by remarking that the Pc
culiarity is equally pronounced with men who
wear livery, and that the latter are perhaps the
most dangerous of all to women's peace Of mind.
These views have all the more weight from hav-
ing been expressed semi iudiciously in regard to
a suit brought against an elevated railway con-
ductor by woman who had been annoyed by
his attentions. If the New York officials views
are correct, probably it was the coachman's
livery that captured Miss Morosini.

Another Pioneer Gone.

Died in vornon township, Feb. Goth, 1884, Mrs. N.
A. widow Of the late Thomas Randall, aged years,
months and 26 days. She was born in Boston,
Mass. At the age of 22 she became the subject Of
saving grace and united with the Baptist church, in
which communion she lived and walked with Christ
for fifty years. In 1879 they celebrated their golden
wedding. One year afterward Mr.. Randall was
called home, leaving her with six of the ten children
she had born to him to mourn his loss, one OF them
we'll known here, I. W. Randall, who superintended
the construction of the Baptist church edice in this
city. Mrs. Randall was endowed by nature with an
amiable disposition and gentle spirit. The strong
est element in her nature was love- In her departure
from earth, she was calm and triumphant, longing
to be with Jesus and him with whom che had trav-
eed earths maizes so long, strong as were the ties
that bound her to her children and the many kind
neighbors among whom she had lived 80 long and
was so dearly beloved, yet the great object of her
life had been to prepare for the 'house not made
with hands, eternal in the Heavens She welcomed
the summons and entered the upper sanctuary sus-
tanned by that faith in which she had lived so long.
1t Is such characters these that have given Cowey
county its moral standing unsurpassed east or west
and makes 1t the most desirable home of the good
and true citizen. FRATER.
The above were among the early set
tiers of this county, living in Harrison
township for twenty years previous to
their moving to Kansas, and were the
father and mother of Postmaster Randall.
