WHEN it comes to enthusiasm Of the
crowd Ben Butler beats the whole can.
didatorial outfit now in sweating ex-
pectancy at Chicago. The labor asso.
Citations, the antimonopolists and the
greenbackers are there in force and they
are fairly making the welkin ring with
their shouts for the hero of New Orleans
The town is said to be in a perfect up
roar over him. He is bigger man
than Henri Watterson. Ben is regarded
as the great protectionist mogul and
the fierce Ulysses whose strength is the
dread of the democracy. He assumes
a loftiness that is not consonant with
his surroundings. His contempt for the
other Statesmen is something decid-
edly cooling and refreshing creating
GOODNESS in the hot politics of that city.
He is reported full Of fight, defiant and
yet exceedingly hopeful of getting into
some sort of power that will compel
his nomination. Being backed by the
laboring people, he is protectionist
and hence will have no help or counte-
nance from the free traders, but this
is why Kelly and .Tammany Hall are
covertly doing what they dare for him
They can see no hope for them in Cleve-
lands nomination and will be feminist
the reform governor. We are compelled
to sympathize with Cleveland, because
it seems too hard that his reform
ideas are to be repudiated. 1t is true
he has neither the culture, education,
breadth of mind, experience Or ability
of any kind for a presidential candidate,
however well he may have done as a
sheriff or mayor, and hence should not
be presented to the people as candi-
date. But the fact that the workers
in the party are repudiating him shows
that they are doing it because of their
opposition to his reform notions. The
fact that Butler has many prominent
democratic supporters on account of his
protection ideas makes it clear that the
tariff question is the rock on which the
party is liable to strike and go to pieces.

The Springfield Republic

The Springfield Republican says
that college degrees are getting too
cheap to be valued very highly, as
the honcrs of our colleges are allotted
by boards of trustees, made up OF the
butcher, the baker and the candle
SHOEMAKER, and such bodies of course
make up the highest kind Of an acar
demic court. Then, too, the power
to grant degrees exercises powerful
fascination for the men intrusted with
it, and they sometimes resent sugges-
tons to the effect that economy In
the distribution is desirable from
every point Of view. This is a big
country, its colleges are many and
struggling and the temptation to
advance the material interests of
institutions through the more Or less
open barter of degrees is not always
resisted. All these causes and many
more combine to make honors indeed
easy, and reform in this matter comes
very slowly.-Bee.

Mrs. Adams and son of Indianola

The store has just been treated to a

been doing the work.
Joseph Junker came in from the
county capital with new harvester,

Sabbath. When seated it will be very
comfortable little affair. Has very
pretty location. The next quarterly
meeting is 10 convene there, August
26th. Doubtless the dedication services
will occur at the same time.
One of Bondvilles stockmen has con-
ceived of plan for the preservation of
the health of sheep, when so rudely
Invested of their coat. He catches his
sheep, takes the scissors and cuts a
small portion of wool from one side,
then turns it over and cuts about the
same amount from the other side, then
('Therc go sleepy, their is no danger
of your taking cold now, y and so on

commenGs it to the notice and perusal
of all sheep raisers.
We were called to Cedar Bluffs, a
few days ago, and while there learned
of very sad death which had occurred
there short time previous. A young
man Whose name we did not learn)
from Ohio had come west short time
before, taken claims, and gone to work
in the mill at G. B. On the evening
of his death, in company with the miller
and son Jagged s Or 9 years., went for
bath in the dam: The boy was the first
to enter the water, followed by the
young man, who It's supposed was seiz-
ed with cramp, went right down, and
ere the miller could reach him, he was
drowned, Among his possessions was
found very encouraging letter from
his sister (of recent date) telling him
not to become homesick or disheartened
for they would visit him IN the fall.
What must have been the feelings Of
that sister, when Gnstead of letter
from his own HANDY she received the
sad intelligence OF his untimely end just
at the verge Of prosperity.

BEFORE the senate adjourned, Gen
eral Logan took occasion to submit
some official letters and documents
disappearing the slanderous charges
of little McAdoo and big Bill Springer
on the floor CT the house concerning
the alleged attempt of himself and
others to grab part of the Zuni reser-
walton. The general not only demon
strated that he had no interest what
ever in the presumption of the lands
mentioned, under the desert lard act,
but further that the said lands, by
whomsoever pre-empted, were not at
the time any part of the Indian reser-
walton, and we're legally open to any
one who chose to pre-empt them.
Afterwards, by the order Of the Presi-
dent. on application of the Zunis, the
entry was cancelled, and the lands
were added to the Zuni tract.
