Editor Bulletin:-Ab we haye
not been represented inyour most
excellent paper for some time,
thought would send you few items.
We now have the benefit of post
office, which was established here
under the present democratic ad-
ministration. We had the pleasure
of attending the closing exercises of
Prof. w. l.. Robinson's school at
this place ON the 18th inst. The
morning was spent in examining the
classes in their different studies.
These examinations were riged and
thorough, and showed that both
pupils and teacher had done their
work well, and reflects great credit
upon them. This closed the morn
ing exercises. Then come dinner
and speaking of the dinner, it will
be impossible for us to do it any
thing like justice. 1t was sim ply a
feast of the best that could be pre-
pared. Jams, jellies, pies, cakes
and nicl1nacks in general was stored
away in enormous quantities to
to satisfy the herman, to say moth
ing of shoat and other substantials.
But there was plenty left.
In the evening the girls rested
some very beautiful selections, and
the boys acclaimed some splendid
peices. Several young ladies read
very fine and Appropriate essays. Mr..
J. II. SWeeton, read an able COM
position on Education" which was
highly applauded. Prof. Robinson
tfen entertained us a short time
with some of the funniest selections
we ever heard. His representation
of the excited student was very
laughable. AT night there was a
"Stercopticon" entertainment. the
large house was filed to its utmost
and all available space was taken
up. The proprietors ], w. and J..
r. SweetOn was kind enough to give
us their exhibition free, for which
we thank them very much.
The farmers are somewhat behind
with their work. We are going to
organize a Bob Taylor club soon.
We are going to show that sol Id
democracy is not dead IN this part
Of the banner county. With the
Bulletin, Normeut. and Miller work
ing with US, we VIII know no defeat
Long may the Bulletin live.

CONDITION OF THE PEOPLE.

If the people are suffering, as some dema-
gugues continually affirm, evidence Of it must
appear in the consumption of articles which Art
IN measure luxuries or cOmforts Nobody feel
the irresistible tug at his heart strings which
opens the purse and the hand, if the applicant
comes pleading starvation with a cigar in his
mouth costing more than loaf Of bread, o.
with liquor enough in his breath to pay for u
square meal for a whole family. So the detail
given in recent Washington letter mako it
hard to believe that the people OF this country
are in very desperate straits, when they consume
in single year 1888 gallons OF beer for every
man, woman and child, and Lie gallons spirits,
besides 6?.2 cigars for every inhabitant 2.1
cigarettes, and 3.22 pounds smoking and chew
ing tobacco. 1t l. tue that the condition of 3
Large part Of the population s not indicated by
these figures for much mUre than hail OF the in
hahtants do not use liquor OF tobacco TO any ap-
preciable extent The little ones are not as
iule consumers. and considerable proportion
Of the adults spend no money In this way. But
il q third Of the inhahittnts, let Us say 2O,0OO,-
900 persOns, consume all the tobacco and spirits
and beer, it is at all events certain that they ca-
not be starving because Of inability to buy food
For the cost of the dunk and the smoke would
average about $57 yearly for each of the
20OOO,0OO and that sum would buy bread and
meat enough to keep them all from emaciatiOD.
No sOldier yet was found who could consume
An entire army ration, year in and yeu out,
but that costs only about $5S yearly The
10000, 900 who smoke and drink appear to con-
sumo one entire ration in that WAY, at all events,
whether they earn two or three times as mueh or
not
But q still better test Of the condition Of the
entire population, ON many accounts, Il the con-
sumption OF sugar, tea and cofee. For these
articles are consumed by some members OF al
most every family, and by young as well a. old.
and the consumption varies in all conditions per-
cepnbly with the prosperity of the wage-carn-
ing classes. If there L. real want the children
