to come from certain class in the Re
publican party, under whose auspices
all the public lands have been given
away in the last quarter Of century.
Very naturally the spectators, railroad
mOnopolies and acre-grabbers have
clurG to that political faith. 1t Is
egua-y as natural to find them kicking
over Judge Sparks recent decision, but
as Land Commissioner he knows what
the people expect of him, and with
public Office is public trust" before
him as a guide there can be no disap-
pointment of public expectation.
He will save the Nations broad acres
until the Nations Congress hedges the
national domains in such a manner that
land grabbers cannot possibly break
through and steal.
This is the kind of protection both
parties fayor-the Republican party be-
cause it must; the Democratic party
because it has always brought forth and
built up measures for the public good
and the public welfare.

Business Prospects.

A brighter day is dawning. The pros
poets for a general OF revival business
during 1855 are very encouraging. The
financial circular of a prominent New
York firm, issued on the 18th of Janu-
ary. states: There is an undeniable
recovery, not only of confidence but
also of actual transactions in business
at large in all sections of the country"
Prices are advancing in the west, the
south has been benefited by a large
cotton crop, and the manufacturing
states report a large increase in orders.
The same circular predicts "that 1856
will prove to be the first one OF these
series of years Of prosperous activity
and advancing prices which come and
90 with the regularity of the ebb and
flow of the tides" The exports of
1885 show an excess over the imports
of ss4, 900, which says the circular,
s'should almost settle our interest ac-
count with Europe" The feeling
throughout the country is hopeful.
Money is becoming easier, railroad
companies are talking of extending
their lines into new territory, and the
spindles of the factories are beginning
to turn again.

Soothing Syrup for the Baby.

Old Reanl-Eaten seems to have touch
of something, akin to the reptile that
tempted Eve, in his pedal extremitieS.
Topeka has muddled his pOnderOus
brain: the soft soap thrown out to him
by some of the journals of the state
about him have set him wild with de-
light; he is worked up to a crazed and
frenzied pitch of excitement; the world
seems to be groveling at his feet, seek
ing, pleading and entreating him to
WELD his mighty pen in describing III
new, startling and weird phraseOlOgy
the hidden beauties Of the universe,
that none so great as he has been able
to describe. Poor George, he don't
know it is sly way they have Of tick
ling his vanity and then laughing in
their sleeves to see the articles repro
duced in the little pO0tsey-wOOtsey
daily) He hugs the silly deluSiOn that
all the papers in the state are banker
ing after his weighty (?)articles; he says
the REFLECTOR published an article
January 2Sth that originally appeared
in the Gazette January 18th. Why
bless the little "bab-y," we got it out
of.the press news of the state, credited
to no particular paper; where did you
get it and then say it was original!
And then he talks about his good name
(pardon him, no one says it for HIM.
Oh, the brass of that man! We know
Of one memorable trial in the evening
about seven years ago in the Dickinson
county court house, and when the dam
nable evidence was being introduced,
that more than one remembers, the brass
even then predOminated. Mayor Rice'S
police force in the past had to do night
duty taking care of the poor unfOrtu-
mates, whose last cent was spent in old
Rum Eaten's hell holes. He is fine
specimen to talk about rObbing hen
roosts. While many fat chicken was
laid on his table how many hungry
women and children in this county were
eating dry bread? Why a man that
would enter your hen rOOst and take
few chickens is certainly preferable 20
a man that takes a mans manhood, his
standing in society, his happiness, his
family's happiness, his money, HIS ALL.
How long will this mans low flung,
disreputable, hang dog, a genuine refuse
to look you square in the eye, brass,
egotism and vanity be tolerated by
class of people that know WHAT HE IS.
The die is cast, his ill-gOtten gains with
his il-gOtten presence will disappear,
but his cursed influence will linger
among his victims like foul miasmatic |
gas. He walks with a gold-headed |
cane-the victims Of his groggeries |
walked with their toes ont. He
lives in house with glass Windows
some of his victims look out of cross
bar windows. He lives in a richly |
furnished house-some Of his victims
live in poor houses. How he must en-
joy his luxuries, bought with blood |
But enough, the subject of |
this sketch is too loathsome to further
handle.

Save the Nations Broad Acres.

Let the public lands be reserved for
actual settlers, not for railroads and
spectators.
This is one of the great public queS-
tions pressing to the front. 1t is of the
weightieSt consequence to the future,
and must receive the earnest intelligent
consideration of both state and national
governments.
Land Commissioner Sparks has de-
termined upon this policy in advance of
Congressional consideration. He has
halted the thieves In their career and
stopped for the present land plumber in
the far West.
In his view to actual settlers, not the
rascals that heretofore have had every
thing their own way is the ruling of
Judge Sparks, and that ruling viii re-
ceive a hearty enlargement. -
In his view to the actual settler be-
longs the land; not the speculator who
runs survey by proxy and the railway
that appropriates great Sec
lions at time.

While 80 much talk is being made
over the question whether the president
must, at the demand of the senate. give
his reasons" for the removal of Off
siRls, a little paragraph in one of Gen.
Grants messages has some interesting
significance. ut could not have been
the intention of the trainers of the con-
stitutiOn," Gen. Grant said, "when pro-
viding that appointments made by the
president should receive the consent of
the senate, that the latter should have
the power to retain in Office persons
placed there by federal appointment
against the will of the president. The
law is inconsistent with a faithful and
efficient administration of the govern
ment. What faith can an executive
put in officials forced upon him, and
those, too, whom he has suspended for
reason? How will such officials be
likely to serve an administration which
they know does not trust them?''

the Office of Department Commander of

the very best of workers of the Order

Justice TO elect him. Comrade McDivitt
Is one of those old "vets, yetone whose

Protective Tariff

The cable brings the news that the great steel
manufacturer Marshall, OF Sheffield, Is about TO
remove his works to America. The firm eInyI CS
3,cOOmen some of the most skilled Will be taken
over and the rest hired in America. If this is
true, more is TO be feared by the American IRON
manufactures than from any action OF the tarlH
Dir. Marshal has the largest plant In England,
and f. a most extensive dealer In Iron and steel.
To come to America with his plant suggests
that he is not only able to compete with American
manufacturer but to Guido him" Eek.
"Wiu our freetrade neighbor the Herald"
please tell US why il is that protective tariff
IS such Dreadful thing, this great manufacturer
leaves free trade England to seek home IN this
country"
The foregoing is from the "Old Flag, "
the protective tariff organ of the de-
funct Republican party. In reply, we
say that the Herald takes pleasure in
replying to all such easy questions.
We never pretend that protection was
a bad thing for the manufacturer, but
that it is good thing for him, and Mr..
Marshall's proposition to come to
America only proves our position too
true. But while it is good thing for
the manufacturer it is very bad thing
for the consumer, and the consumer
class compose fOrty-nine out of every
fifty of onr population. For this class
the protective tariff is "a dreadful
thing" but for the rich manufacturer
it is not so dreadful The manufactur
er, by coming to this country, viii save
on the goods he sells just the amount of
the tax now imposed On him by the
laws of the United states. But he gets
the advantage while the farmers and
others of the country have to come up
like little men and Foot the bills. The
people pay in the extra amount, while
the protected special class put it down
deep in their pockets. That is what
the "Old Flag" would perpetuate on
the tOiling people of the country.
Does not even the ten year old school
BOY know, that on account of the pro-
tective tariff, everything we eat or wear
is taxed, and that every 81 out of II
of said tax goes into the pocket of the
favored manufacturer, and nowhere
else?-PMSfeLd Herald.

is not to be doubted, he is also in favor
Of an honest silver dollar, and that he
wishes "to increase the weight of the
dollar to 425 grains and to stamp silver
bars with the weight and value and is
sue silver certificates therefor" all of
which means that Mr.. Blaine is to be

Knights of Labor.

We wish every merchant
| and manufacturer, every en-
plOyer of men, every young man and
woman in Atchison could have heard
the lecture of Hon. r. T. Travellick, of
Detroit at the opera house last night.
If they had heard it we are sure that
they would have had better under
standing this morning of the relations
that exist or should exist between
capital and labor, employer and employee;
a poor opinion of the dignity of wealth,
but a better opinion of the dignity of
labor; more cOntemptuOus opinion of
him who tolls not and spins not, and a
more exalted opinion of him who earns
his bread by the sweat of his face, It
was a lecture full of advice and hope
and comfort and predictions of grand
possibilities to the working man. 1t
was a plea for the education of labor
and defence of its rights. Mr.. Travel
lick is an exponent Of the Knights of
Labor, the aims and objects Of that
rapidly growing order, and his mission
is to make clearer not only to the mem
bership its grand purposes, but to eradi-
cate from the minds Of men generally
the erroneous impression heretofore
formed. The Knights of Labor is the
youngest born of the secret organization
of the world, but never has one made
such gigantic strides. 1t was not until
1868 that the first ''local assembly" was
organized in Philadelphia. Now the
local assemblies number 1900, with
membership estimated at half million,
and the order has spread from Europe
to California and from Hudson Bay to
Mexico" The organization of new
assemblies also goes on rapidly, the
average rate of increase being one hun
bred and sixty assemblies a month,
and of membership of about
$4,000. Besides workers at the
trades, farmers are rushing by the
thousand into the new local assemblies,
which are forming all over the Western
states and territories, and among the
members of the order are many legisla-
tors and professional men.
1t may be confessed that capital has
looked on aghast at the gathering
strength and growing power of the
Knights of Labor, but no good man who
studies their creed and arrives at just |
as to their purposes can aver
other than that they are the most laud-
sble and worthy of all commendation.
They are not socialists, and they, hayed
adesigR against the peace and .pr6p-A
'rty Of any man. They aim to educate
heir young men and woman to incul-
ate temperance and morality, to make
he1f' fnore contented with thef Zoe, sFfd
o make labor dignifed and respected
nd to act in unison in maintaining and
their rights, under the consti-
ution of their government and the LAWS
their state.-Atd,ison Patrios. I

The law of Kansas is that a CO..

The law of Kansas is that con-
victed and sentenced murderer
cannot be hanged without special war
rant from the Governor. Consequently
there are now ffty-one condemned muir
derers in the penitentiary, some of
whom have been there for years un-
der sentence awaiting execution but
there are many trees in Kansas from
which has swung many bodies of men
hanged by Judge Lynch. And as is the
criminal law so is the prohibition law,
man may be convicted for selling
liqusr but the party which made the
law has not the backbone to strictly en-
force it. Thus both laws loose their
terror to the violator.
