EDIroR OscEoIA TIMEs-Sir: 1t
is with considerable hesitancy, and
contrary to my precious 1Laieunina-
ton, that prolong, even b, short
note, further notice of anything that
Robt Dean should say. But the
mendacity Of the creature a. so un-
buulrjed, end some Of has assertions
being SO 1di,nluusly False, that
feed it my duty to notjce some parts
of lbs last letter.
First, on my retuu from Wash
ington, l saw and read Deans letter
and hot being well posted about
the law in regard to sending or ac-
accepting challenges, sent for Me-
Weigh and Blackwood, and told them
that / considered it challenge, and
any intention was to accept 1t. They
both read the article aad said that it
could not be construed into a chal-
lenge, bat il | considered it as such
that | could send hin note through
the mail, and let him say if he in
tcudcd i. for such. did so, AID my
letter was returned ARA RENvLy un-
o;,cned. Nothing was further from
my nlind than the libel sait" that
Dean seemed to anticipate Such
proceedings are not in accordance
with m, idea of the manner gentle
men settle difficulties. immediatc.
" after ] received my rejected let
ter, Mr. Carmack came Into my Of
fee, and stated that he had ou,ne at
Mr.. Deans request, To propose that
he, Dean, would select two or three
friends, naming himself, McGavock
and Gridcr, and for me To select two
or three of nay friends, and let them
meet and talk the matter over and
settle it up. told Carlnack that
since my letter was returned in the
way it was, that ! had my course
uarkcd out; that if he had any pro.
positions To make to go TO McNcigl
and Blackwood- Whether he went
to them or not, don't know And
aow. Bob Dean would convey th,
idea in his communication M the 26
that either one, or all of his deaI
friends, Carmack, McGavock ano
Gndor loye him so well that they
would delight in giving me satislac'
tion. Well now, Mr.. Dean, if they
really feel like putting thcaselvr'
up as targets to shield ym- they
know my address, and if ! fail TO re-
spond 10 every PARTICULAR, | hope tC
forfeit the respect of all my friends
whom think comprise about all the
ladies aud gentlemen in the eo,nmu
nity. As 10 my opposing Mr. Has
kins, would ask in the name o.
common sense, IL that is crime?
The Osceola times., 1886-01-02

but will simply content myself with
asking Mr.. Dean one or two ques-
tions, viz: Show me where the pub
lie school ever received any benefit
from the two hundred aud fifty dol
lars paid Haskins by J. A. McAlister
as rent money, on a portion of the
10th section for the years 1882 and
1883? And ! would like to know
why the school lands are not rented
t. the highest bidder as the follow
ing seetioW Of the Digest directs?
See. 630a. Ar School lands in any
county in this state susceptible OF
cultivation shall be leased by the
County Collector of said county from
the first to the tenth of January in
each year. The manner aud terms
of leasing said lands shall be by pub
lie outcry to the highest bidder, the
lessee fsying one half faf the amount
of rent in cash at the time Of leasing,
and the balance at the end of the
year. At least twenty days public
notice Of the time and place of offer
ing such lands for rent or lease shall
be given by said Collector, by pub
fishing the same in the newspapers
of the county, and by posting up
hand bills at the most prominent
points throughout the county.
Answers to those questions, Bob,
will greatly oblige yours,

CURE YOUR COUGH.

A cough should not be neglected,
as it often leads to consumption. For
the cure of all lung disorders, no
remedy will compare to "Mansfeld's
Hungarian Balsam for the Lungs"
Thousands have been cured by it;
physicians prescribe 1t, and it is the
King of all Lung Medicines. If you
have consumption, try it; it has cur

It is said that they never come
among us with the intention of max
ing our country their home, but to ac-
cumulate their pile and to return /;
that they are heathens, retaining pecu-
liar religious notions, building their
Joss houses and carrying on their
idolatrous worship IN our midst, great
ly to the annoyance of our christian
population, and seldom yielding to
christian influences.
In reply to this, the same charges
may be made against our own citizens
who go to China. They go to make
money, and return to enjoy it; are con-
sidered as heathens by the Cinnamon ;
retain their own religion. never yield
ing to the native religious influences,
building their Joss houses or churches
in their midst, and even proselyte the
natives. This latter charge cannot be
made against the Cinnamon, It must
be considered that their own religious
yiews-howeyer absurd they may ap-
pear to us-are as important and as
dear to them as are ours to us, who
have been subjected to different teach
ing.
1t would be far less unreasonable to
war against more dangerous alien
population than the Chinese. Our
government demands of China that
our citizens shall be admitted to that
country, enjoying the same privileges
as +" the most favored nation" and it is
not unreasonable that the Chinese
should demand reciprocal favors.
Their personal presence cannot be con-
sidered more obnoxious than thousands
who were born, or have come among
+, us, and to whose presence no objection
| is ever head. All we ask for the
Chinaman is simple justice. d.

TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

In the course of the Catholic Mis-
sion held in this city during last week,
Rev. Father Doyle, on Thursday even
ing, gave temperance lecture, which
was fully up to the demand of the
times. Father Doyle is a fearless, out
spoken speaker, calling great wrongs
by their right names, and not over
cautious about hurting the tender feel
ings of whisky and beer drinkers. If
intemperance be the great crime of
the age, as most good citizens profess
to hold, why need ministers of the Cos
pei treat it SO carefully, for fear of
giving offence to some parishioner or
patron.

While they were holding an open-air
meeting in the city on Friday evening
last they were assaulted by mob and
treated with violence. Mayor Parker
had ordered the Salvationists to re-
frain from the beating of drums on the
streets, which is one of their instru.
ments of music. 1t was the disobey-
ance of this order which was the pre-
tence by the rioters for their attack on
the Salvationists. By what authority
or code CT morals does the Mayor of
Beloit discriminate against the Saliva
tionists, prohibiting them from parad-
ing the streets with instruments of
martial music, and allowing other
classes of persons to use the same kind
of instruments on street parades? 1t
frequently happens that professions,
not the most orderly. are seen, preceded
by fife and drum and other instru-
ments not the most harmonious, with
out any thought of their being inter-
rupted by the authorities. The Saliva
tionists, it is charged, are sometimes
noisy; so are camp-meetings sometimes
loud-voiced; so are other assemblages
of various kinds yociferous and noisy,
but so long as they are not aetuated
by vicious intent they are tolerated,
1t is said those persons engaged in the
riOtOuS attack on the Salvationists at
Beloit claim they were defending the
religious character of the city! So then
the instigators and participators in
these brutal assaults are after all the
conservators of public morals, and the
guardians of the churches AS to the
religious practice of the Salvationists
we are not their defenders; we only
claim they should not be subject te
arrest for offences of which Other
classes of persons are tolerated with
out hindrance. The Salvationists
since their first appearance in this
country, have been objects of persecu
ton for alledged disturbances of the
peace, while disturbances, if caused by
men struggling home from grog shops
are allowed to pass unnoticed.

POLITICAL EDUCATION.

A great want of the country is one
which of late years has not been so
much dwelt upon as formerly; it never.
theless is becoming more apparent
every year. Our public schools are
doing good service in the general edu-
cation of the young, but they fail to
reach great necessity-the science of
government. A knowledge of the
ordinary branches of study, the higher
mathematics, together with Latin and
Greek, does not meet the demand. The
machinery of government cannot be
understood and its problems solved
by mathematics and the help of Latin
and Greek. Our law makers-state
and national-are called upon to crap
pie with new and untried measures
the results of which when enacted into
law involve principles of action
weakening or strengthening our politi.
cal institutions. The government OF
the United States requires more skill
to manage than any other on the globe
because it is more thoroughly a gov.
eminent of the people, and where the
people have all the work of govern.
ing to do. We have but few govern.
ment officials holding life tenure
offices, compared with England and
other nations; hence the people here
are called upon with greater frequency
to attend to governmental affairs
Our voting population should be suf.
iciently educated in the science of gov.
eminent, to judge of the propriety and
expediency of the enactment of bills
which comes before Congress. The
people are justly responsible for the
kind of laws which Congress eaacts;
members of Congress are simply the
agents of the people, and what the
people do through their agents thew
are themselves accountable for, unless
their agents are betrayers of trust.
1t is not desirable that the young men
of the state should become experts in
political partisan matters, but that
they should give attention to questions

THE CHINAMAN.

The number of Chinese i'm our coun-
try is computed at about 100000, which
is about one in 600 of our population.
1t would not seem difficult to absorb
that number, their presence being
scarcely felt. Their services could be
utilized to good advantage, and there
need be no cause for jealousy. The
quota for our city would be about ten.
No complaint is heard of their pres
ence, except from the Pacific states,
where they are found in the greatest
force. In San Francisco, where they
are most numerous. and occupy locali-
ties by themselves mostly, their quar-
tiers are said to be filthy and their hab-
its degraded, which is undoubtedly
true; but local police regulations should
be sufficient to remedy that matter.
Let them be dispersed more generally
throughout the country, and their
presence would be no source of annoy-
ance. A severe strain upon bridge
may be borne with safety if evenly
distributed, which, if concentrated.
would crush the whole structure. 1t
is the aggregation of our alien popula-
ton of vicious tendency which concen-
trates the strain upon one certain por-
ton of our social and political fabric.
and which creates disturbance, or rem
ders their presence annoying. Seldom
do we hear of disturbances in the rural
districts except where there NAV be a
concentration of aliens of vicious dis
position, as in the mining regions.
The loudest complaint against the
Chinese is heard from our alien popula-
tion, who have no better rights in the
country than they, but who would
drive them out, in order to occupy
their places themselves, which is no
less than downright robbery. The
Chinaman is Industrious and economi-
cal, willing to work at all times. If he
cannot get high price for his labor
he will take less rather than to be idle.
on the principle that half loaf is
better than no loaf" He is patient of
labor and living on pittance on which
others would starve, hence the jealousy
of a turbulent element, which would
control the industrial community and
dictate terms to those who furnish
employment. Admitting that their
presence in some of the larger cities of
the Pacific states in such numerical
force is not desirable, they are far
less dangerous element than the social
lists and anarchists of Chicago, New
York and other cities.

of governmental policy is highly i'm
portant. A distinguished writer on
political science has said:
There is no nation to-day that is
not suffering from the mistakes of law
makers. Pauperism has been increased
by legislation to alleviate it. Ill-ad-
vised measures for warding off public
restitution have time and again
brought great peoples to the verge of
starvation. Crime has been made
more prevalent by repressive systems.
It is mistaken view generally taken
in this country that man becomes
fitted for American citizenship and
capable of assisting in the enactment
of laws, when he is old enough to vote.
The importance of giving the science
of government greater prominence in
this country has been frequently
urged by our wisest men, but the sug-
gestions have been but little needed,
hence the wonder is sometimes heard
expressed. why our law makers pass
so many ill-considered laws.

services. The remembrance of the
martyrs who gave their lives to save
the country iu the time of peril should
be perpetuated through coming gener.
atoms. The recollection of the stir
ring events of the war for the sup
preston Of che rebellion should be re-
freshed every year, not to keep alive
the spirit of hate of the country's
enemies, but to show the immense sea-
rifce of life and property it cost to
save our national life. The children
in the public schools will, before loDgt
have the control Of the government
and it's institutions, and they should be
early taught the responsibility.

CLEVELAND MARRIED.

The much-talked-of event among all
kinds of people-the marriage of Presi-
dent Cleveland-was cOnsummated on
Wednesday. We are sure very many
people will be heartily glad the affair
is over. 1t has been prolific theme
for leading city newspapers; whole
columns were devoted to Miss Folsom,
describing everything pertaining to
her, real and imaginary. Every move
ment of President Cleveland, however
trivial, was noted and invested with
wondrous significance. The lovers of
gossip can now take rest for a little
time.
