Cow hiding u brutal Father.

\ Ssrahsville (ohio) special says
The two children of Tom Howard, of
this place, were late in returning from
school Wednesday, and excused them
selves by saying they had played. The
father in rage beat them SO badly that
they had TO receive medical treatment.
The citizens became indignant, and last
night teok Howard TO the centre of the
village. tied him to post. stripped
him 60 the waist. and whipped him
with cowhides till the blood ran. Notice
has been served that the post will be
left standing, and wife-beaters and
petty offenders will be punished in the
same way.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1885-07-11

"Gail Hamilton" discusses prohi-
bition in the July number of the
North american ReUieaC, in her own
peculiar style, which it need not be
said is Vigorous and breezy. Take,
for instance, what she says about the
dangers to temperance from a "Pro-
hibition party"-viz
SIN Georgia three-fourths of the
counties enforce prohibition; in Geor-
gia, of total vote of 143, $40 the Pro-
hibition candidate received 1875. But
in the North, where the Democratic
party is weak, it cherishes Prohibi-
ton like nursing mother, and its
caresses are returned with a collusive
fondness. Straight as if winged from
a Democratic bow the Prohibition
arrow fled to the States where the
Democratic party had the best show
for victory, Torpid in all the States
where it could harm the Democratic
party and where it could not vitality
harm the Republican party, it was
active in those States where even its
small power could turn the tide
against Republicans. What has been
done may be done again, but it will
be better understood. Prohibitionists
may continue to be Democratic allies,
but they will not be so we'll disguised
Democrats. "God and home and ma
tive land" will always have a suspi-
cious twang, and even woman's in
stinct will need to show its credentials
when itappears on the stump bearing
the st. John sort of ''home" in a
charger.

A War Threatened.

LEAVENWoRTH, KAs., July GA
brief interview has been obtained
with Roman Nose, the renegade
Sioux, who has cast his lot with the
Cheyennes, and has apparently de-
voted all his energies to making
trouble. He possesses a considerable
following among the Cheyennes, and
has led several raids on the cattle
owned by the companies which have
leased grazing lands from the Chey-
ennes and Arapahoes. His complaints
are chiefly against the cattle cOmDa-
MES, which, he asserts, have fenced
in much of the best hunting land and
forced the Indians to tramp over
sterile plains in search of game. He
claims that the payments made by
the cattle companies to the Cheyennes
and ArapahOes are not fairly divided
and that the cattle turned over to the
Indians and branded to denote their
ownership, are "gobbled" by the big
ger chiefs to the exclusion of the les
ser ones. He believes that before
long there will be a general Indian
war and that the Indians might as
well die fighting as to be driven about
and hemmed in and starved by white
men. 1.-THE war;" said he, twill be-
gin with the Cheyennes and Arapa-
hoes, and then the Comanches, Apa-
ches, KiOwas and other tribes will
join them and fight even to extermi-
nation"
'Do the cowboys trouble you
much ?" he was asked.
"Yes," he answered, "they have
rifles, and revolvers, and whisky and
shoot Indians when they get drunk
but Agent Dyer tells US that the
Great Father at Washington wants
us to give up our guns and plow, and
plant and raise cattle. When we do
that the cowboys and other bad white
men will kill US and take away our
property, for we will have no way to
defend ourselves and the soldiers will
not help US"

The President and the Senate.

DETROIT, Mich, July 2.-An in
teresting and significant interview
with Senator Conger, of Michigan, is
published this evening. He has just
arrived home from Washington,
where he has been a close watcher of
events since the 4th of March last.
at is hard to tell" said the Senator,
"what the Senate will do in regard
to appointments made by the Pres
ident during the Senatorial recess"
"Haye you talked with your Re-
publican colleagues as to the course
they will pursue in such appoint
ments ?"
1.-THE newspapers say that we have
caucused on that point. Now, with
out saying that we have or have not
caucused, it may as well be under
stood that we have conferred with
each other, exchanged views, and, to
a certain extent, formulated plans for
next winter when the nominations
come in. You may put it down as
pretty certain that the Republican
Senators will concede to the Presi.
dent the absolute right to name men
of his own choosing for any of two
kinds of positions. The first is those
where the terms of Office haye expir-
ed. In regard to them there will be
no controversy whatever. The Sec
ond is those positions which are in
any way connected with the Adj
ministration. This is for precisely
the same reason that the President
should and does have the privilege of
naming his own Cabinet. There is
hardly case on record where the
