LONG ISLAND
A thriving Tann With Metropolitan Airs.

Last week, in company with j F.
Morse, of this city, we drove over to
Long Island. Upon reaching the sum
NIT IF the hill on the south side of the
valley, one is impressed with the fancy
that some magicians fantastic wand has
passed over the place, for q little city
has sprung into eXistence,-a city spic
and span new glistening gaudily with
It's motley hines OF fresh paint, in the
bright sunshine. A timber fringed creek
Just north OF the town furnishes a dark
pleasing background 70 the scene.
The WhOop OF Jeamsters, the creak of
q cable and capstan as 1t slowly drags
a massive building from the old town TO
the new, the rasplng and pounding OF
saw and hammer, ali blend into one en-
terprising harmony not unpleasing to
the practical ear. Away 10 the east
ward, stretching in graceful curves like
twin serpents, are Two steel rails, the
harbingers of commerce, and the glory
OF the Long Islander. Presently a trau
of smoke lies just above the horizon,
and Il construction train comes rolling
and rumbliu0 IN. The locomotive, always
a thing OF individuality, tOOts its own
bazOO, and proudly snOrCs and struts,
as much as 10 say, 81 arn'C We doing FTP"
And thus, all uucOnsciOusly 1t may be

The good people OF this city.
Z lie business men have nearly all NOV
ed over, excepting 4. NJ. Weed, and he
his about ready to start. Two banks
have opened out here, two lumber yards,
and several stores and shops OF various
varieties Altogether there Is q brisk
ness about the new town, rather eX-
hueraung. Sometime we hope to visit
that place and write up its business but
our stay was TOO short this time Tor that.

Is not entirely unmIXed with Il tInge OF
selhshness, for we are well aware that
this road Is not alone a benefit to Long
Island, but to the whole county as Wen,
1t furnishes a new outlet for our pro
ducts and brings the encrOachmenG OF
competition.
Saving the trials that we had to IN

was very enjoyable one.

TO THE <ICKERs-

We understand that several parties
have been industIiOuSly kicking against
the HERALD's articles exposing the
whiskey traffic in this county. Before
wrenching their lower eXtremities out
of joint IN that estEe,ic amusement, it
might be we'll Tor them to STOP and think
for a moment V hat they are kicking at.
The HERALD published only tabuIated
statistics OF liquor sales, quotations from
the law bearing upon thai question and
urged proper enforcement OF, and re-
spect for all laws upon the statute book.
Now kickers 60 you wish 10 be placed
upon record as saving that the people Of

you do put it on, it IS % pretty sure siga
that it hts. We trust that the HERALD
will not be compelled to inform the pub

Say now, seriously and by authority,
that the sUrmIses made and predictions

The Atchison Champion win do well
to keep its shirt on The idea that the
people of Northwest Kansas lear the
advent of DR.. krohn in q political
sense, is absurd on its face and has its
origin only i'm the fertile Imagination
of the Champion, or, perhaps in It's
case, the wish is father to the thought,
and it takes that method of bringing
DR.. Krohn before the people as n prob
able political aspirant. Dr. Krohn is
cordially welcomed to Northwest Kansas,
just as any other good citizen is vel
coined, and no more. Should he have
other designs he would probaly meet
with the same fate as the fellow did
who started in with the money and
came out with the experience. No.
body, To our knowledge, has whined

this county, and the Champion would
do well not to kick until it is spurred.
Northwest Kansas has plenty of brains
OF It's own without importing them, aud
should IL need an infusion of such rare
and useful articles, it would never
think of going 20 AtchisOn for them.

but the natural effect of a political condition
in which they exercise entire freedom of opin-
ion and independence of action. When men
have been used for years to deciding for them
selves what officers they will have for the
management of their public business and in
what manner it shall be managed, there is a
very natural and rather irresistible tendency
to extend that independence to matters affect
ing private relations and religious associations.
Men like to select for themselves those whom
they pay for any kind of service, and Arch
bishop Purcells misfortune is warning that
money matters are best managed by the men
who own the money.

IT is naively stated that England 'has de-

campaign in the Soudan," and also that the
future would depend largely upon the move
ments of the Mahdi. When the news came
yesterday that, instead of attacking Gubat
and Metemneh, Gubat was evacuated, and the
English troops were making across the coun-
try for safe place, it seemed to us that the
''plan of the campaign had been already
changed" 1t will be remembered that when
the man quit hunting the bear, and the bear
began hunting the man, 'fhe plan of the

THE lesson of the recent communistic riots
at South Bend is not hard to understand by
the citizens Of that place. A practical and
bitter result seems already at hand, for the
indications are that the great plow works of
Oliver Brothers will be removed to some other
locality less under the influence of Chicago
Socialists. The proprietors of this great en-
terprise complain that hostile influences have
long been at work there, to prejudice
their employees partly through partisan
demagogues seeking their selfish ambitions,
and partly through the unfriendly
feeling manifested by local publication
which was continually assailing the works,
thus infaming that hostility which culmi-
mated in destructive riot Naturally enough,
the good citizens of the place are greatly exer-
cised over the possibility of losing the extern
sive works, which gives employment to LOCO
men and has monthly y-roll of $50, 600.
They have appealed to the proprietors to re-
consider their determination to go elsewhere,
but apparently without effect. AS result,
therefore, of the riots, South Bend will be a
great loser, financially, and every man,
woman and child in the city must feel the
loss
No community can afford to encourage,
actively or passively, any man or organization
of men that is unfriendly to manufacturers.
In this age of mechanical progress the people
must depend upon them for employment. 1t
cannot be otherwise. The day of the single
handed plowmaker is past, and the mechanics
must look to the great manufactures for
work. AS they prosper will employment
be steady and wages assured. He
who strikes at them strikes at the
workingman's best interests Hence it is that
the Socialist and all his class of hare Drained
and scoundrelly agitators are the enemies
alike of capital and labor. But for their per-
nicious teachings, aided by the demagogy of
pot-house politicians, South Bend would still
remain in the assured possession of works
which have given work to 1000 men, and the
comforts of life to probably 5000 persons. 1t
is the plain duty of every good citizen to dis
countenance Socialism and scoundrelism in
general upon all occasions.

WHEN the Democratic majority in the Gen.
eral Assembly propose to strike down with a
high hand the political rights and equality of
more than half the people of the State the
duty of the Republicans is very plain. The
outrage should be resisted to the utmost Ev-
erything less than revolution is iustifable
and, indeed, imperative. The Republicans
should say plainly to the Democrats: We will
assist in the passage Of all proper State legisla-
ton, in the passage of the appropriation bills
and in providing for the orderly running and
maintenance Of the State government; no
public or private right shall be injured or
fail by any action Of ours. After all
this is done, we will meet you in
fair conflict upon the infamous, damnable po-
litical measures you propose. But if you in
sist that these outrages must be consummated
before you will provide for the necessities of
the State administration, and these necessi-
ties fail to be met because we will not stand
by and see majority of the people of the
State still further despoiled of their political
rights the responsibility must be yours We
have no responsibility for the State govern
ment That responsibility belongs to you
You must assume it, and take care Of it.

REV JOSEPH Cook, of Boston, has four
teen reasons to present in favor of the forma-
ton of a new political party. One reason is
that ''the time has come for statesmen and
not mere politicians; that this is crucial
period in American history, and prompt
measures are demanded" The other thirteen
are equally convincing. His party, which is
not a third party, by the way, but fourth,
will be anti whisky, anti polygamy-and will.
in fact, undertake all reforms. When the
Republican party is done with, the sesquipe-
dalian Cook can count us in.

AMERICAN Catholics are not quite SO SUBJ
missive to the arbitrary commands of their
prelates as their brethren in Europe, who lack
their. experience of independent action.
Especially in the selection of their pastors
who marry them, bury them christen them
and smooth their way out of the world, the
American Catholics frequently seem disposed
to urge their claim for little consideration
for their own wishes, though as readily obe-
dent to all doctrinal inculcations as those
who have never known that there was any
religious faith but their own. 1t may be re-
membered that, some years ago, church in
western New York maintained for a long time
an attitude of antagonism to the bishop on
his appointment of an undesirable pastor, and
finally forced change. More recently an
other congregation in Missouri resisted the
appointment made by the diocesan. Within
year, we think, Canadian church has con-
tested the bishops power by remonstrance.
Within a few days a Fall River,
Mass, French Catholic community
has brought a long pending conflict
with Bishop Hendricken to point that may

which came reply asking information. A
day or two ago a second letter came from the
Pope's secretary asking further information.
His Holiness seems indisposed to act hastily,
even in support of ecclesiastical authority
when he thinks there is chance of misuse.
There is an indication, in these cases, of a
spirit of independence and self-regulation that
may, sooner or later, work change in the alb
solute sovereignty of the church in matters
affecting the social relations and financial con-
dition Of Catholic congregations. It would be

Rigid Sunday laws must be enacted and en-
forced. The Republican party favors this; the
Democratic party opposes it. The Republican
party believes i'll the enactment of rigid laws as
to saloons, and the vigorous enforcement of
them: the Democratic party opposes it. The
Republican party favors the vigorous enforce
ment of the laws against gambling houses and
all dens of iniquity in the cities; the Democratic
party favors liberal policy If liberal policy
is to rule this country, and liberalism is to pre-
vail in the enforcement of laws, the proud bar
