The Millheim Band has come to
the conclusion to arrange Tor a rousing
| festival to be held on Saturday, Sept.
18th. in the rink on Penn street. To
make The affair of greater interest they
expect to haye Il number of cake walks

The band purposes to get new instru-
ments and We hope our citizens will
give them all possible encouragement
in their undertaking.
The picnic Of the Union Sunday
School in the mountains south of Penn
Hall was Il very agreeable gathering.
There was Il good address made in the
forenoon by Rev. Shambaugh,o of Spring
Mills and the school sang few popular
hymns. The Millheim band was there
and filled the forest with their stirring
airs. The center piece of the pro-
gramme, dinner, was remarkable for
abundance and palatableness, and was
enjoyed by everybody rs only a dinner
in the woods can be enjoyed. Owing
tG the picnic at the Cave the crowd was
not as large as on former occasions, but
that fact did not mar the pleasures of
the day in the least. The mountain
people understand how 10 get up nice
picnic.
Mr.. Ellsworth Glenn, of Kansas,

In a review of political matters in
the state in which 1t congratulates the
party upon its unanimity and prospects
of general success the Kansas City
Times says:-"The Fifth district is now
represented by republican. Hence
the contest on its face has something in
it of interest. But an analysis of the
circumstances shows that 1t is almost
as certain to elect a democrat as any
other district. There is no doubt at
all that the democratic voters outnum-
ber the republicans by not far from
1000. There is also no doubt that the
democracy is united on Judge Philips
and that his worth as man and his
ability as legislator is so fully recogni-
zed that he will gather to his support a
large contingent of Independents who
are disgusted with republican weak
ness and lack of political principle.
The quietness of the canvass in this
district is, as in other directions, al.
most certain indication that the ma
jority will govern" So far as we can
see this is a correct statement, and the
alleged hopes of the republicans that
they may carry the district are, as a
matter-of-fact, groundless. If Major
Warner could, in decency, decline to
make the race we believe he would
do 80.

We had light rain few days ago,
the first for long. long time; not enough
to make any stock water. Let me tell you

is getting terribly scarce in this section of the

preparing to sow wheat. There will be more
wheat sOwD on Texas Prairie this fall than
has been sown for years. The corn crop is
light, but is much better than was expected.
We have no fruit nor vegetables except Irish
potatoes. Our school commenced last Mon,

The Higginsville Post is kind enough
to say:-'Harmony exists in the dem

of Jackson county have shaken hands,
Now if the two Alecks at Lexington
would only kiss and make up every
thing would be serene and not a wave
of trouble would roll across the peace
full breast of the Lafayette democracy. :"
Yes; much to the regret of the Post,
harmony does exist In the democratic
ranks. We do not know upon what
authority the Post assumes that "the
two Alecks at Lexington" need to kiss
and make up. AT least if there is any
thing personal between them they have
the decency to keep it to themselves,
and not to inflict their private affairs
upon the public attention. When tn e

A writer in the Htgginsville Post
says:-"Mr. Editor, why not give a
sketch of the republican nominees
Most of them are strangers here; some
never being heard Of" In the next
column to this the Post has an article
which takes the position that Kansas
City will vote for Warner because il
knows him better than it does Philips.
According to this rule the republican
county ticket seems to be IN bad wav,
when even republicans complain tha,
the nominees were never before heard
of.

The Post insists on making us say
that "lf man is not citizen of Mis-.
souri, he cannot be a citizen of the
United States," which is of course, mon
sensical. What we did say was that,
IF DR.. Alexander is not q citizen OF
Missouri he is not citizen of the
United States.' Because coming here
a citizen of the United States, and hav.
ing become citizen of Missouri, and
still a resident therein, we see no way
by which he could forfeit the one and

THE DEMOCRATIC RALLY.

AT the fair grounds, near Higgins
Vile, on next Saturday, September 20,
will be held the first grand democratic
rally in this congressional district, and,
so far as we know, in the state.
No human duty is more sacred that
that involved in American citizenship.
1t is privilege to be an American citi-
zen. With this privilegescomes grave
RESPONSIBILITIES. Since the infancy Of
our government there has existed a
party at first called the republican
party, but which soon, from its devo-
ton to the interests of the masses,
and from its purpose to diffuse among
the people the power of the state, came
to be known by the simpler term,
democracy-primarily from the Greek
word demos, the people. The under
lying, fundamental principle OF this
party Is trust in the people; local gov
ernment; the least possible government
consistent with the preservation of
order and the rights of person and
property. And to this end a strict
construction of the constitution, which
was framed largely to prevent the ab-
sorption of the functions of the states
by the Federal government. AS con-
tradistinguished to these principles
there has arisen in the country party
which believes IN the Capitalization OF
power; in a splendid and expensive
government at Washington; in undue
subordlnation OF the state to the nation
al authority; and hence in the most
latitudinarian construction of the limi-
tations imposed upon congress by the
constitution. AS it was epitomized by
one of their doctrinaires, "What is it
that congress cannot do?' Aye, what,
unless love for the constitution and for
the government of the fathers shall call
a halt upon the party which has sys-
tematically belittled and set them at
naught
1t is refreshing, yes necessary, that
forgetting the iealousies and ambitions
of men, looking over and above paltry
and evanescent issues, and beyond the
mere scramble tor position, the people
should once in while draw from the
fount of true democracy sound doctrine
and honest sentiment.
This may rarely be done, because the
times are too full of love for money
and power, but there are men who can
soar to the position of teachers of the
pure, simple, yet grand truths of de-
mocracy. Of these Geo. Vest is one,
and Jno. F. Philips is another. To
hear either one of these gentlemen
were well worth days journey; to
hear them both upon one day will be
such privilege as no man can afford
to miss.
Therefore, fellow democrats of La
fayette county, be at Higginsville next
Saturday. Aud you, too, friend re-
publican. ComeI You will hear
nothing to offend you; and at least you
will see for yourself, truthfully and
unmisrepresented by partisan press,
what democrats profess and what are
their hopes and purposes. We are all
citizens of a common, dearly loved
country, and whilst many of you did
not believe it few years ago, the gov
ernment of the United States is safe in
our hands, where it has reposed most
of the time since its existence. We
invite you to spend the day with us
next Saturday.
