a Good Investment.

ANYONE who mas ever dealt in lands,
knows that no investment of money will
so surely and quickly yield a return, as
such venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety oe government
bond, is added profit far in excess of
rate of interest which can be obtained
on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with q steady growth
which gives assurance OF stability. The
good season and the great tide OF immis
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate Of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas free as it is from the long
rigourous cold winter, added to soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far
mer they hold out special inducements.
Cheap land. easy term of purchase, good
markets and varied products enable him to
own his farm at a smaller cost and with less
labor than is required to pay rent for the
land he occupies here, or the interest on
the money he has invested in it.
If you are looking for a safe place to
invest money, where it will pay you a
large and sure profit, or if you are farm
er and want farm of your own, call on
me and see what | have to offer. | will

APnIiticaI SomersanItist

The X of l.. LdbOrer, weekly paper
published IN this city, and supposed to
pay particular attention to the interests
of the labor classes, whose editor is Mr..
Will Gray, last week changed its political
aspect completely and came out as an
avowed champion of W. H. Gest The
paper is a late importation from Milan,
where it was called the Record, and its
course might be excus ed ON some plea or
other had its editor not attended the
labor convention at Monmouth which en-.
dorsed Mr. Neeces nomination, and in
troduced the following resolution him
self:
Res3,ced, That the peoples party of
he Eleventh congressional district of
Illinois, assembled, by its representatives.,
IN this convention, and also the delegates
of labor organizations represented there
10, offer their thanks to Hon. VIM. II.
Niece. representative in congress from
said district, for the faithful and contin-
ued devotion he has shown to our finan-
cial aud labor measures by his advocacy
and support of them in congress. and
that We pledge our best efforts to secure
his reelection, believing that he will be
equally faithful to our interests in the
future.
That was on the Goth of September.
In Just a month the editor makes a COM
plete flop. and repudiates the resolution
he himself offered This is indeed. con-
sistency with vengeance. Some other
influence rather than pure, moral suasion
must have induced Gray to thus stultify
lis political honor

BOBBY'S CONSISTENCY.
He Takes the stump for the RAILROAD
Attorney as Against the Man
Whose Nomination he

Bobby Bennett, having returned from
West Virginia. where he had been in at
tendance upon the national assembly
Knights of Labor, being state master
workman In Illinois, and according to the
reports of the proceedings of the national
convention, was an unsuccessful candi-
date for every Office in the national or
ganization, except that of general master
workman. But thoughts of the Knights
of Labor are not foremost in Benefits
mind now; neither are the duties of his
office--that of police magistrate. He
has other fish to fry, and this morning,
with grip sack in hand, this same Bobby
Bennett started out on a political mis-
sion But in whose interests is he to
make the canvass he is about to enter up
on? Is it for Mr.. Niece, whom he
labored SO zealously to have nominated,
and of whom he wrote so many letters
urging that he be the candidate? Is it for
Mr.. Niece, whom the Knights of Labor
all over the state and country have en-
dorsed, and who is receiving the support
of every true Knight in this congressional
district? If hot, who is it that this gals
liant knight is starting out to secure votes
for2
Those who have watched Mr. Ben.
nett's course and heard Of his utterauces
during the earlier periods of this cougres-
sional contest, will say, it cannot be
Gest. Yet, such is the case. Bennett is
for Gest; Gest, the railroad attorney. as
Bennett himself termed him, and nobody
else
1t is probably not known to very
few that when Bennett first heard of
Gest's nomination for congress in this
district, he termed Gest as the tool of the
railroads.&c. had been attorney for the
c., B. & Q. road and was railroad law
yer and he would not vote for him.
When the name of Mr. Hurst was men
toned to NJ. Bennett, his reply was that
Mr.. Hurst meant Ben. Cable and this
placed Mr.. Hurst in the light of a mos
nopolist, and he would not have him, no
matter what came 4 conference was
had, as a result of which Mr. Hurst be
came the first choice of Mr. Bennett
with Mr.. Neece second He wanted
Hurst nominated, and if not Hurst,
Niece, sure. He would not support GeSt
under any circumstances. The dem>
ocratic convention met at Monmouth anu
Mr.. Niece was nominated largely,
through the efforts of the Knights of
Labor in that convention. When the
Knights came home Bennett c0ngratu-
lated them. He was delighted with the
result, and would DO all he could to re-
turn Mr.. Neece to congress.
Time, however, has put another aspect
upon the case and for ONE reason-best
known to Bennett himself, perhaps-he
has Topped, and now the railroad at
torney" is the only man for congress
from this district. and Bobby has gone
out to work for him.

AN EXPLANATION.
There has been no Discrimination as
to Democrats or Republicans On
the Island.

Saturday afternoon Congressman
Niece and William McEDiry, Esq, went
up TO the government island and had a
pleasant conversation with the genial
commandant, Col. Baylor, relative to the
report that at some time recently, when it
became necessary to lay off a gang OF
stone cutters. the democrats had been
dismissed and the republicans kept on.
Col. Baylor's explanation was entirely sat
isfactory lie pointed to two buildings,
one in the course of construction, and
the other almost completed. When the
one nearly finished had become far
enough advanced. it became necessary to
discharge, or lay off the cutters engaged
upon it and the men at work on the ether
buildings were retained Not the least
discrimination had been made as to the
party affiliations of the men; politics had
not entered into the transaction in any
way. The gang which had been relieved
had been hired some time before the 9TH
er, so that in the long run both had had
steady employment. The men had not
been employed with reference to politics
aud if they had all happened to be demos
Gratis, it was not the fault of Col. Baylor
Col Baylor further furnished his vis>
itors with some interesting information.
Two men had recently made personal APP
plication to him for employment. Know
ing that they had worked there before,
he referred to their names upon the labor
register and found with fourteen others,
their names with the entry STRIKERS. "
These were the men whom Congressman
Niece had secured atfidavits from, and
since there had been no strike on the isl
and for twelve years, it is reasonable to
presume that Col. Flagler had taken this
means of blocking out from future en-
ployment on the island the men who had
assisted Congressman Niece in compel
ing him to adopt the eight-hour law
Congressman Neece did not hesitate 10
recommend them every one to Col. Bay,

THE GREAT McNABNEY.
Himself. he seeks to Defeat OH
ers---ENtent Of his Influence.

Editor of the Argus:
HAMPTON, Oct 25-Why does George
McNabney bolt? Because he was not
elected town clerk. Now why was he not
elected? Simply because the voters of
Hampton township knew him too we'll to
vote for him. He bolts, and Just rs he
has bolted before, because he was not
given an office himself Now he seems
to put the blame on the voters of the
lower end of the town. can tell him
as a voter of the lower end, and as know
the feeling of this section. that if they
had turned out, he would have been the
worst beaten man that ever run for office.
1t seems TO me if he had been a man
among his fellow workmen, he would
have been elected, for it was his Lear
neighbors and and fellow workmen that
defeated him. 1t shows his popularity
60 when his nearest neighbors will vote
unanimously against him. Why is he
mad at Sharp Silvis? He was sick and
could not leave his bed to help him
through therefore he could not do any
thing for him.
We respect Mr.. Silsis and will show
our respect on the second Oh next nOnln,
but will say that Mr.. Silvis or any man
in this town can not help Mac into Of
flee. Oh, no George, you need not blame
Sharp, for it was myself and your own
fellow workmen that defeated you. and
We will make il our particular business to
do the same us often as YOU are fool
enough to ruiz You charge Sharp of not
being true to the order of X. of l.. will
say here as am X. Of l., that that ac-
cusatiOn is one of the most unfounded
lies ever told by man. Sharp is true to
all the laws of the order to which he be-
longs, but members of the X. of l.. all

TRYING To Gust a Justice.

Judging from a petition presented TO the
Board Of County Commissioners on Mon
day last. an effort Is being made in Mineral
Hill for the removal from Office OF George
Buchanan as Justice OF the Peace there.
The petitioners-32 in all-urge upon the
Board of Commissioners the necessity OF
requesting the bondsmen for the said
George Buchanan to withdraw their bonds
and that you declare the Office vacant"
Among the reasons put forth for the re-
moval is "to protect the interests OF the
county; that he is prone to cause dissen-
sion among the people and work up trivial
cases at law to the desriment Of this COM
munity and the financial interests Of the
county" The Board. in discussing among
themselves the petition, said they had no
recollection OF Mr.. Buchanan ever having
presented q bill against the county for off,
cial services, nor have they any record Of
his ever having had q case Of any kind be-
fore him for his official disposal. They
finally instructed the County Clerk to 10.
tify the petitioners that 1t was beyond tho
Boards power to remove upon said petit
tlon, and that for the wrongs he NAV do in
his official capacity his bondsmen are re-
~sponsibie therefor.
