The extent OF Republican, teaching has
been to inform the colored man OF import
ant political truths, his truest friends, his
best interests, and the way to secure his
rights and privileges of full citizenship aud
equality before the law; referring to the
facts Of history, and the personal knbwl-
edge OF every intelligent man, for proof OF
the fact that the line OF safety for all peo-
pie, and especially for the colored man, is
in unfolding the rule Of, and giving per
petuity to, the principles OF the Republican
party.-[ Winchester, Va, Leader.l ..
AS matter OF protection labor Is organ
izing to defend itself against the warfare
waged against 1t by capital. 1t viii suffer
many defeats; meet with many rebuffs, but
we have confidence enough in the intelll.
gence Of the masses TO believe they will
masses are crowned with victory, then we
may expect to hold our positions In the
ranks Of civilization. II labor should be
crushed, the world Will soon relapse into
the ignorance and barbarism that character
lied the Dark Ages, Channels, Wis, LIB

All the Protestant ministers of Richmond
have declared for local option and pledged
themselves, by resolution adopted In public
meeting, to work and vote against license
Colored ministers and white ministers are
making common cause and working as q
band OF brothers for cause In the success of
which the good OF the church and society is
deeply implicated There were no race
preiudices suggested or thought of In the
meeting. An appeal was made by the
white ministers and the colored ministers
earnestly responded, and the two races
have thus Joined in crusade against the
deInoraliZiDg influence of drinking sand

There can be no permanent revival OF
business, aud society itself will be in a state
of constant turmoil, until one vexed ques-
tion which Is being agitated by the press is
settled; and that question Is whether or not
President Cleveland is engaged to Miss
Folsom. For the peace Of the public mind
and that people may be allowed to attend
to their own affairs, the President should
settle the matter by proclamation.-tRe Re-
corder, Monterey, Va. ....
Sparks has now ruled that final proofs
can no longer be made before probate
judges in Dakota. While we do not care
to question the correctness OF the decision,
we cannot help but reflect that Sparks is
man who looks after his own-very different
from Cleveland. The effect of this ruling
will be to put many more dimes into the
pockets OF Democrats. You see the pro-
bate judges are all elected by the people
and are all Republicans in Dakota, while
the clerks OF court are appointed by federal
judges, who are, or soon will be, all Demo-
Gratis, who will appoint Democratic clerks.
Thus Sparks is serving his party under the
pretense of meeting the requirements of
law.--l Redtleld journal, Redheld, Dak.1
Farmers should seed down as much tame
grass as possible, and then turn their at
| tention to stocking up with cows. There Is
| no longer any question but that wheat will
| be low for thenext few years, owing to the
| largely increased acreage OF this cereal In
| the old world, and 1t Is simply sheer folly
for our famers here In Dakota TO expect TO
| make money In this direction. Get into
stock and dairying as rapidly as possible.
| Grant county farmers, especially, should
| do so, as we now have flrst-class creamery
in Milbank ready to take every pound OF
| cream offered, and pay the highest market
price for it.-lCounty Review, Milbank,

The Democratic campaign speakers In
| 1884 solemnly declared that the Republican
| party was responsible for the strikes and
| business depression of the country; that
with Democratic President at the head of
the government, such things as strikes
would be unknown. Well, we have q
Democratic President, and arc now enjoy.
ing one of the greatest strikes on record.
Business is practically on Estandstill, and,
as consequence, we are having hard
times. While President Cleveland holds
forth with his swell dinner parties and ele.
| giant afternoon receptions, the poor man Is
compelled to go about begging FOR crumb
OF bread. Oh, for the days OF Jeffersonian
simplicity 1.-THE Commercial, Mitchell,

We have not yet reached that condition
OF independence that will admit OF our
Congress eeasing to leglslate for the United
States and endeavoriDg to legislate for the
whole world. The time is not yet at hand
when our home industries can enter into
open competition with the pauper labor
and grinding monopolles Of Europe. For
the good OF our country, for the good OF
our people, for the good of our laborlng
classes, God grant that we may never reach
that point.
Neither American capital nor American
labor can afford 10 see our ports opened ia
the world. With protection we have
bloomed and blossomed into comparative
prosperity. Progress, enterprise, and sue
cess have attended the protection of Amer,
lean industries, and in every valley and on
every hillside are the evidences OF its In
fuence.
