Stick to the Farrns

The old adage: LET the cobh.er
stick to his last, although some thou
sands of years old and common among
the ancients, is still worth as much AZ
ever, and It win probably retain lnll its
value in spite of time and wear SO long
as men continue in the original foolish
ness. Here is an instance: IA wealthy
,cattle-dealer who was not satisfied with
the profits his own business afforded
him, and not content with the snug
fortune Of $30O, 900 or more, but eager
to double it, undertook to speculate in
stocks, and, OF course. as all such men
invariably do. lost his money and came.
to ruin. Farmers furnish many less
bright examples Of this sort, and are
continually losing small sums which
they can not afford in stock specula-
tions, tempted thereto by deiusiy0
advertisements Of willy brokers, who
themselves often were reared upon
farms, and who know the weaknesses
of their rural victims. Farmers should
heed these warnings and learn that,
there is no investment so safe as the inn
provement OF their own farms. and that
money sunk In drains and inlthe enrich
ment Of their soil or the Improvement
Of their stock will easily pay one hum
dred per cent. prefit. which IS more
than Is even promised by these Sc
ductive specu1ations. The common
games of chance known to small boys
are certainties compared with the risks
Of the gambling of stock speculations,
which are all ia favor Of Che brokers
who manage them. and all against the
fools who supply the money for mar
gins and commissions. aFIt il simply
game of s'heads you lose and tails 1
win every time. 1 / Any reasonable man
can not fail to see it. and yet farmers
even borrow money and sell their best
stock to get It to throw away in these
so-called investments. Farmers should
stick to their farms, and avoid all these
fraudulent speculations which only de-
fraud themselves. Nv X. Times,

+ When William Pitt Kellogg was
placed at the bar to answer criminal
Indictment we told the people to pre-
pare for another farce
Thursday Kellogg walked out of court
free man. The Indictment was de-
clared defective. A false date had been
inserted, but the prosecution was barred
by the Statue of Limitations.
The Administration has known of
Kellogg's guilt for three years. 1t knew
the charge involved Tom Brady. 1t de-
layed the prosecution purposely until
the Statue of Limitations had expired
1t further fortified the accused by flaws
in the Indictment.
f The Republican Administration did
not dare to punish kellogg. He is
representative Republican leader. He
had been fraudulenlly made Governor
of Louisiana; fraudulently elected to
the United States Senate; fraudulentlv
kept there by Republican votes. He
had been a partner in the fraud that
seated Hayes. He holds the secrets of
Republicanism in his keeping.
Send Kellogg to Jail? AS soon con-
denim to the penitentiary the whole Re-
publican party. .,. Hz.b
The Government had the witness who
paid Kellogg $20.0On for himself and
Brady to have his Star-route contract
raised so that he could rob the people
of $4,000 or 100000 1t had the
banker who had cashed the drafts. It
had the proofs of payment. Its only
way to protect Kellogg was to delay
the Indictment until the Statute of
Limitations would debar, the prosecu-
ton.
+ So Kellogg walked out of the court
Thursday and escaped jail. But by
what right did the Judge allow the
jury to indulge in legal fiction and
returd the lying verdict of mot gull
ty?"
Kellogg was guilty! He was not ac-
quilted. The Indictment was quashed.
He was saved by the Statute of Limita-
tons!
Thus another Star-route rascal is
saved, and the people are furnished
with another illustration of the impossi-
bility of furnishing public crimes while
the Republican party remains in power.
Z In such occurrences as these lies the
foundation of popular disaffection with
the Governments. They are the hot
beds of communism. They force the
belief that there is no equality of JUS
tce, but that one law prevails for the
rich and influential and another for the
poor. They bring all law into con-
tempt and impress the people with the
conviction that the courts are as cor
rupt as the politicians.-N. Y Sun.

Kellogg ssAcquitted. .

William Pitt Kellogg is at present a
Congressman from Louisiana and
formerly was Governor and United
States Senator. He has Just been
found guilty of receiving $50, 1000 from
a Star-route contractor named j. B.
Price, and acquitted. The, paradox of
the assertion is only apparent. The
payment of the money and the payment
of it to Kellogg. for his influence in get
ting q contract, were not only proved,
but admitted; the offense was de-
monstrated and confessed. But because
the transaction took place five years
ago. it was held to be barred by the
statute of limitations. The court,
thereupon, directed the acquittal of
Kellogg.
1t may be asked, how did the Law
Department of the Federal Administers
ton come to arraign this man on a de-
fective indictment? 1t will never be
possible to say whether this was by ac-
.cident or design. The Indictment put
the date of the reception of the bride at
June Is, 1879. 1t was shown that at
the date named Kellogg cashed the
drafts given to him as bribery money
and that was not quite five years ago.
But it was also shown that he received
the drafts about three months before he
cashed them. The court held that the
reception of the drafts was the date of
the bribery, not the time when they
were turned into money. The Admins
tration lawyers declare that they did
not know the drafts were three months
old when cashed; but the informer
Price, on whom they relied for convic-
ton, swore on the stand that he told the
Government counsel that very fact.
1t is miserable business. Kellogg
has been acquitted because his crime
has "aged;" the indictments against
Price have been nGlled, because he
turned informer. albeit a useless in
former, and all the remaining charges
against Brady have been Cancelled, be-
cause, since the nolleing of the indict-
ments against himself, Price declares
he will not be q witness any more. An
even month before the Chicago Con-
vention, the Arthur Administration
presents the last of the Star-routers
with complete acquittal. The fur
ther announcement is that Kellogg and
the rest OF the Louisiana delegation to
the Republican National Convention
have declared for Arthur.
Such incompetencY and corruption
combined ought to injure the Admins
fration with its party, but so far it has
\ply gained it delegates. A more con-
emning commentary on political Re
nblicanism than these facts make
build not be made. As for Kellogg,

Revolt q the Negro ysterA

The Interstate confeence Of the CO..
ored people at Pittsburgh is full Of
political significance. We don't know
that the leaders of the Republican party
will be wise enough to read the mean
ing of this Pittsburgh Convention. and
we are sure IL they do they will be- BOW
erless TO avert the dangers which IS in
dfcates IS threat ening the grand old
party. It Is unreasonable % suspect
that the negroes will go or. voting
blindly, as directed by the Republican
party, for all time to come, through q
mere sentimental fancy that gratitude
requires they should make themselves
political vassals. Emancipation gave
the negro political freedom, and it has
only been q matter of time for him to
assert his political independence. This
Pittsburgh conference shows that the
time for the second emancipation is fast
approaching, perhaps, has already
come. There have been expressions,
not alone of discontent and dissatisfac-
tion. but of turbulent Indignation also,,
and these manifestations by the leaders
may be taken for fair reflection of the
feeling of the colored masses. The
adoption of a resolution declaring.
against an Endorsement of the
Republican party was practically
an act OF war, and it will
be found impossible for the Repuh-
lican party to frame the basis Of
a compromise. The colored people are
tired of being mere votingscattle and:
the only thing to satisfy them issa fair
share of the Offices; but this is the one
thing they can not be given, since the
great body of white Republican voters
invariably and always bolt negro
Every Republican leader j
knows that, and is aware that the thing
the colored leaders are asking would
ruin the Republican party if given. It
is already apparent that the weak en-
deavor to stem the torrent of this re-
volt by electing few negroes as alter
nate delegates to the Republican Ma
tional Convention has intensified in
stead of allaying the discomfort. Little
things like these counted for much in
the first years of freedom, but the
negro is no longer satisfied with the
hollow honors that carry no substance
Of reward with them. He has been
told he is just as good as a white man,
but he has found the Republican party
little disposed to act upon that political
principle. There is nothing Strange,
therefore, if the negro has at last con-
GUIDED that he will be more of free
man and get great dealmore personal
benefit from his right of suffrage by
putting his ballot where it will do the
most good for himself, whether that |
lurts or helps the Republican party
