A PROTEST.

To fAe Republican rioters Of Sedgtriok county :
Your county central committee protest against
the action of the senatorial commute, lor the
following reasons; .,,,5
1, Because they have for ten years past called
the senatOriai conventions, and their right 70
do 40 has never been questioned anu before
.his we'll established rule can lie changed, Tie
Republicans of the county, IN cohSeh'io" M
sembied, must be consulted.
2. Senatorial committees cannot Call repre-
sentatiye district conventions, because the com
mitteemen are elected by counties-for counties
and not for districts. -,
8, The appointment Of ub-commttcemen, OF
Additional members of q committee, is usurp-
alton OF authority, and beyond the power OF an,
committee but belongs entirely to the powel
creating the committee. 3.
4 The authority has never been assumed II
this county by congressional, senatorial or rep
Observation-Disclosures committees to hpportoi
delegates in townships or wards, but was al
wave left to the county central committee
S. No change of an old and well establisne'
rule can be made unless done by the party con
yeption, or the county central committee an
no change In this case would be asked LOT uh
iese fraud and trickery was intended
We therefore urge all Republicans having IN
pesce harmony and promotion OF the party !
heart to stick to the old and time-honored pm
ciples and rules of the party, as anything shoi
of this means defeat.

UNHAPPY " BEACON

We wish we could say something
which might contain potent tenden-
CIV in making Capt. White, the able
but lugubrious editor of.our esteemed
contemporary on the other side of the
street, and on the other side of every
thing generally, trifle happier. lie
is feeling worse, actually, than his
mournful editorials would indicate.
His unhappiness is more sad than
settled melancholy begotten of a cross
in love matters. more desperate than
that which leads to the swift relief of
hari-kari. Neither suicide nor recluse-
ness offer anv satisfactory solution,
however such a course might make the
general public rejoice. The Beacon
this week Just groans all over, up and
down and crosswise, and all because
of the mistakes made by the republic
casn convention at Chicago. The 'lcad-
ing democratic journal of the SOUTH
west" regularly entered at the post
Office as second''c class matter at the low
rate of So per annum, in advance, like
o flaring pot of sour dough, scethes up
and over letting fall ever and anon
great glumps of sulks with a sicken-
ing thud on our platform, ever our
candidates and upon our convention
This unhappy condition of our broth
er in reflex effects our own political
atmo sp here. That a democratic or.
gan should thus find fault with repub.
licau nominees, and thus criticist
the soundnoss of republican
platform, is something inexplicable
In his unmitigated bitterness he
compares one 10 Peruvian bark, and
in his sickness the other to rottci
segments.
Without stopping to go to the die
tionary let us indulge in the hope tina
after the great uEwashed shall have
mixed their iucongruities-their pa
triOts and their rebels. their high tar
i'll and their free trade, their kicker
and ghosts, their whisky and brain
all together at Chicago next month
that our unhappy brother may b'
able 10 extract sufiicicncy of the es
seuce and sweetness thcrcfrom TO save

WESTERN KANSAS AND THE RAIL.
ROADS.
A Few Thoughts for unpreiudiced, Fair
Minded Men.


Scholars have long been writing en-
pertaining trcatises upon what is called
"The History of Civilization" Among
them they have made some captivating
studies of the slow, hating, painful
development from our various condi-
tions to higher ones, The entire path
OF human progress is strewn with the
monuments of glory and of shame,
which the sons of men have uncon-
sciously bu;lded. And from a
human standpoint, an enormous
lapse of time has been necessary
to bring about almost inn
perceptible improvements. Conser-
vatism has retarded and revolutions
have advanced the cause of humanity
and every step forward has left its in-
eifaceable print. The building of the
worlds communities as they stand on
the map to-day, has required enor-
nous time and infinite pains.
Leaving out of consideration the
stubborn tolls of the fathers of New
England, and the mistakes and vicissi-
tudes of the jamestown experiment,
all this is true of our own middle and
northern states. Ii is true also of a
community now SO wealthy as Illinois.
The striking exception is the last fif-
teen years of the history of Kansas.
At the time of our beginnings and
the day of our small things, we also
had our vicissitudes. We were un-
Willingly on the brink of a national
revolution, and the first blood of the
most momcntous struggle of modern
times was spilled on these fair plains.
But in 1868 began what may be call
ed our age of progress. We may dig
Nifty it by that term because lis results
are tremendous. Many an age has
passed in the history of the Saxon
race whose results were not equal 10
our last ten wears.
In this last respect we are unique.
and stand almost alone. With the
facility in the use of language for the
expression of concentrated thought
for which he is remarkable. John j.
Ingalls, puts it thus: "We have wit
messed Oh the magnificen: processes Of
the erection of an empire" To us,
ten years is long age in which
the wine of the centuries has
ripened. All ancient processes seem
70 be by common consent dis

A Chat with a Weather Prophet
HIS Predictions for she Current
Week. q
A. ]. De Voc, the weather prophet Of
Hackensaok, N. j., wAAin town Monday
and paid brief visiesso the GAZETTE.
He came to arrange for q course Of
lectures next fall and some other bust
ness. Mr.. De Voc has been furnisliirg
weather forecasts for the New York Sun
for some time past and has achieved some
reputation In his chosen line OF meteor
oloey.
In the conversation which enaued he
stated that he based his prediction
largely upon observation OF the aspects
and movements Of the olouds and dwelt
upon the general ignorance regarding the
distances Of visible clouds, especially
when near the horizon. A cloud two
miles above the eArth's surface, lie said,
may be seen, however incredible II may
seem, at a distance OF $50 miles and
the meteorological whom experience has
taught TO calculate with approximate
tocuracy the distance, nature and direo.
tion OF motion and speed Of these distant
cloude can readily foretell where they
will be day or a week hence, whether
they will bs disspated or increase and
what effect they will have upon the
regions over which they will travel.
Being requested to give practical
illustration Of his skill in foreoRstipg the
weather, Mr.. De Voe stepped to one of the
windows Of the GAZETTE office which
gives view TO the northward, and after
inquiring precisely in which direction
the north point lay, he devoted about five
minutes to an inspection of that portion
of the sky visible from the window and
then immediately diotated of the follow.
ing to the stenographer Of the staff:
There will ba cool storm along the
sou'h Atlantic coast. There will be very
red sunsets to-day (Monday) and to.
morrow (TuesdAy), II will remain clear
here with cool northwest winds Tor two
days. The wind will back from the
J northwest to the northeast, then shift tC
the southeast with a fog on ThursdsJ
morning followed by rising temperature
and shOweIy weather towsIds Friday
! evening to the north. Thunder showers
4 here during Saturday aud Sunday
I Wednesday will be the coolest day during
Q July. The rainfall during July will bt
0 about double the average.
This prediction, Mr., De Voc said, may
be depended upon for places within I
circuit Of so miles Of Wilmington. Fol
greater distances some ALLOW ance must b,
made; for example the showers due her,
