One has but to listen to the many street

ill columns about the new towns being

Said gentleman, usually well-posted, to

boomers-are 70 get fifty thousand dollars
in cash for recognizing Comanche county,
and making the county seat at Smallwoods
Well it's so; and this Is how it happens:
There are $4,000 bonds outstanding
against Comanche county, and past-due in
terest amounting to as much more-making
$4,000 that the county will be RESPONSE
bic for when it is once reorganized, espec-
tally If the old organization is revived.
Well, don't you sec the bondholders could
afford to give $4,000 to get the bonds COM
promised, for now they are of no more
good than old paper"
''But how do you know this is true 20 we
asked orr informant.
"a man who says he is in the scheme
said that was what was to be paid for the

A gentleman who lives in the western
part Of this county and who is undoubtedly

had talked to representatives OF the Nescu-

he was satisfied that both elements would
be glad to compromise and have but the

that SmaIIwOod, the old county seat had
been agreed on by the Cavalry creek crowd
as the proper place for brig town.

Evidently there are some grave errors in
the reports Of the trustees, and especially
in the matter of population. For instance
Lake City township is credited with but
l52 population, when IS votes were cast
there hast November. The population of
that township March 1,lwas not under 400.
Sun City township is placed at 32S, which
is more reasonable, though 81 votes were
cast there.

Old residenters of Comanche county are
inclined to favor the Nescutunga people in

claim jumping, fence cutting and all such
pleasantries liable to occur under the ex-

Ii The wholesale business of taking ND
school lands in Comanche county continues
there will not be enough lands left in six
months to furnish lots for the school hous-
es. And in this connection there is seri-
Gus question that has arisen: Have Barber
Der county officials any authority to dispose
Oh thS school lands of COmanehe county,
which is unorganized; and is title to the
lands in question worth anything? When
Comanche county is organized, the resi-
dents may conclude that they would like to
dispose of their school lands themselves.
This Is only suggestion, however, and is
not intended to interfere with the capital
lists from this town who now have such
good thing In having these lands settled ND.

however, a great responsibility, and we ask
him TO take good heed as to mis- steps. We
suggest to him that there may be merit In
the sef-discipline which permits people to
have their own way, because even IL our lives
be cleaner and our judgments better than
theirs, there is still a possibility that our in
formation Is incorrect, or our conclusions from
il erroneous. We appeal 10 him, If he live in
Massachusetts, not to mistake for conscience
the resentment he may feel for sharp words
spoken years ago, and which broad. minded
men have forgotten; and II he live In New
York, that he see to it that his conscience does
not conceal his approval Of certain English
views upon the subject Of political economy
We, In Pennsylvania, see no reason to strike
at so distinguished and able Republican.
We perceive no merit and no wisdom in hurry
ing into an alliance which necessarily includes
the most corrupt elements in American poll
tics. We decline to form league with men
who always opposed the measures We held to
be of the most importance, who now reject the
reforms which we regard as essential, aud who
still cling to those means Of sitting minorties
which Republicans have discarded as unwor-
thy. We feel that whether or not Mr.. Blaine
was our choice for the nomination, his election
will best serve the interests of the people, and
that to defeat him would be to aid in the res
toration of machine" methods, and to ia
trust With general power, a party which has
given every evidence of inability to exercise 1t
in such way as to promote the common well

THE FRENCH FETE.
Parisians Celebrating the Fall of
the Bastile.
SOCIETIES PARTECH-
PATENG EN THE CEREMoNIEs-
ENRAGED AT GERMAN FLAGS.

PARIS, July 14.-Thousands of sightseers
anxious to participate in the revels today, the
day of the national fete, arrived in the city
early this morning. So great were the throngs
poured into every railway station in the CITY
BY excursion trains that the usual precaution-
airy measures against the introduction of chol-
era were dispensed with, except in cases of
passengers from the south arriving at the
Lyons terminus, who were put through
course of fumigation and disinfection which
was anything but pleasant. The city is hand
somely decorated with flags and bunting, and
Is crowded with speople dressed in holiday at
tire, bent on enjoying the festivities of the day.
Notwithstanding the published opinions of
several ply sicians that the holding of the fete
under existing circumstances is certainly run
ming dangerous risk. The military governor
of Paris concluded the preparations last night
for the disposition of his forces for the grand
reviews today. TIE spectacle was magnifi-
cent one. At 10 a. m. the brigade of artillery
OF Vincennes, commanded by General Thew
enin, and the sixth division of infantry united
at the Place du Trone General Greyy, the
brother OF the President of the republic, then
passed them in review. At the same time the
artillery brigade of Versailles, commanded by
General de CONTAINING, and the seventh divi-
sion OF infantry, under the orders of General
ROLAND, defiled before General Saussier, mill
tarY governor OF Paris, at the Champs Ulysses.
In the afternoon the cavalry brigades of Paris,
Versailles and st. German, composed of the
Fourteenth and Sixteenth Dragons, the Sew
enth and Tenth Cuirassiers, and the renowned
Eighteenth Chasseurs, moved upon Long.
champs, where they we're joined by three bat
teries of horse artillery. The President and
ministers were present in the tribune generally
reserved for them, and the minister Of war
was represented by General Gressot. The pro-
gramme of the eVolutions was unusually at
tractive, but the march past was shorn of some
OF its dignity in consequence of the dispersion
OF the troops in different districts, which was
done to lessen the danger of contagion.
Several Alsation societies arrived in the CITY
this morning for the purpose of taking part in
the celebration. On reaching the Continental
Hotel, which was gayly decorated with flags of
all naGfe,ns, aIsraabar of the Alsatians became
enraged at the sight of German flag ffyTrs
from the front of the hotel and rushed up aud
tore down the flag. They then began stoning
the buildings, smashing many of the windows
and doing considerable damage to the proper
| ty. They then burned the flags. A number
| of other German flags were torn down in other
parts of the city by the Alsatians, and the city
is in an uproar of excitement.
