BROTHER CHARLES. whose name ap-
pears at the head of Judge Chapman s
paper, the Register, still thinks it neces-
sary to stick to the lie about the
Willms letter. He probably had to lie
about it in the first place to appease
the writer for his-Charles'-n neglect
ing to furnish us the letter in time.
and like good republican that he is,
thinks it necessary to add insult to
injury by continuing his charge. If the
matter was one to interest our readers
in the least we should give it more atten-
ton; but as it is only bait thrown out
to involve us in an endless warfare of
an Objectionable nature we shall not
give it further attention.

The Harvest is Past.

The Harvest is Past.
One might suppose that with the
coming of the most perfect days Of the
year, when fruits and flowers have ma
tured into perfect form and color, and
full gamers are telling Of successful,
crowned labor, that the mind would be
filed with rejoicing and the heart exult
in the crowning days. But while the
royal purple and golden flowers clothe
the prairies and the harvest moon looks
down upon the heavy ripened ears of
corn, there comes a feeling of sadness
that the labor Is done, that the harvest
IS past.
We try, unavailing, to analyze this
unsuitable frame of mind, and refrain
from some old songs will come and tell
us that others have felt a like regret.
Bryant said of a time, Gttle-only a
ittle-farther on, 1.-THE melancholy
days have come, the saddest of the year. :"
Another poet pensively sings: "Leaves
have their time to fall, and flowers to
wither at the north winds BREATH" It
was the morning prophet who wrote,
''The harvest is past, the summer is
ended and we are not saved
But what is this regret which comes
stealing over us as we look across the
quiet September vista through the
warm, bazy September air? or wakens
us in the dead of night as though a
''touch of a vanished hand" had satis-
fed our longing?
have been wondering, lately, if the
sounds of autumn were not responsible
for this detection. It is then that insect
life is the most abundant, and the sum-
mer solos of katydids have been swelled
into the grand harmony Of all parts.
This constant ringing and singing is
the same music which has come to us
every fall since we first became sensi-
tive to sound; and sounds never change.
The landscape of one year will never
be exactly reproduced; the trees are
growing constantly; here some old mon
arch of the forest may be storm riven;
or there new roofs or chimneys may add
another element of change. Even our
friends are not the same that they were
few years ago; lines have been added
to the fresh young face, and gray hairs
have almost made us forget the friend.
But he speaks, and the sound of his
voice revives a vivid memory of what
used to be. The changed appearance
is forgotten in the rush of old times
and old places into our thoughts.
So the myriads of singers sing on in
the whitening grass every fall, and
their song is unchanging. We heard it
when children, when We wonderingly
asked mother what it was; and we are
recalled to the fact that far away the
same song, converted into a requiem,
is going on in the brown grass over her
grave. Yet it is not always some un-
pleasant circumstance of the past which
comes to us with these suggestive au-
tumn sounds; it is the recalling of old
scenes which we would fain live through
again, that gives us the most poignant
sorrow.
Does the wind sing different tune
at this time of the year? It reminds
us of the colder blasts to come-too soon,
and of the preparations which must
soon be made to close the windows and
light the fires, and gather closer together
around the harth, and wait for an
other seed time and another harvest

How Humphrey Would Do It.

The following circular has been re-
ceived from Lawrence, which we give
in full, and which shows just what kind
Of man the republicans of Kansas
have nominated for governor. Every
educator and every man interested in
the matter OF education will condemn
the sentiment oppressed by Rice and
sanctioned by Humphrey by his pres
encee
CIRCULAR.
LAWRENCE, KAN, Oct. 9th 1883.
DEAR S1R:-Believing that you are
interested in the welfare Of tho State
University at lawrence, and that in
common with all loyal Kansaps yeu do
not wish to see its professorships given
IS rewards for party purposes, we wish
to call your attention to the following
political attack made on one of the
brightest men in the institution. The
following is from the Star and Kanson,
Of Independence:
SAT the republican meeting here last
Saturday, August 18th, General Rice, of
the Fort Scott Monitor, promised that if
Humphrey was elected Governor, Prof.
Garfield should be dismissed from the
state university, because as political
economy he teaches the principles of
that science, regardless of the republi-
can party's oppositian to tariff reform.
Prof. Garfield has great many friends
all over the state who will warmly re-
sent such a threat. One member of
the reception committee here when Rice
made that statement is reported to
have thrown down his badge and left
the platform, declaring that if such
was the programme he should vote for
John Martin. Unless Humphrey dis
claims the purpose attributed to him
by the valorous general of the Georgia
militia and author of a confederate
geography, the democratic press of this
state should keep Rice's threat promi-
nently before the people from now un-
til election.'S
Humphrey sat on the platform when
this speech was made, and by his silence
endorsed the statement. The students
of the university know, that while Prof.
Garfield is outspoken in his belief, he
does not go out Of his way to force his
opinions upon anyone, but always al
lowing the greatest freedom Of discus
sion in his classes. They know that
he is the only man in the institution
who has achieved national reputation
and that it would be loss that years
could not replace to have him removed.
Knowing these things, they should be
apprlsed Of any organized attempt for
his removal; hence the purpose of this
circular.
Hoping your love for your Alma
Mater will prompt you to good use Of
the information contained in this cir
cular, we are, Respectfully Yours,
L. A. STEBBINs,
6. w. HARRINGTON

a VETERAN REPUBLICAN, DESERTS

Since the nomination of General Har.
e1son and the adoption of the free
whisky platform at Chicago IN June
fast, there have been @ great many re-
publicans chat have gone over to the
slemocratic camp Day by day the pa
pers have recorded desertions OF the
eife long republicans and from the
great number of them within the past
few days it would appear that the flop
ping toward Cleveland had just begun.
Recently the republicans of Osnaburg
8ownship were almost dumb>founded
upon being told that Mr.. George H. Sny-
aers an opposes OF democracy all his life,
wac going 60 vote the democratic ticket.
Mr. Snydeg has been one OF The old
@'stand byaH OF Che republican party and
aeyer voted zox q democratic national
eickes in his life, although he is In his
9Sth year. He has been connected with
Che republican party since its organize
eiono
He east his 6rss presidential vote for
Henry Clay in 1882 In 1885 he voted
eor General Harrison as he also did in
sS40e He continued in this line of faith
nutil the whig party disbanded and he
chen allied himself with the republi-
can party and has voted for every re-
publican candidate for president to Che
present times This year he proposes to
be Tailed upon the democratic side.
His reasons are that the republican
partys which always claimed to be a
party of the people, has become a party
OF millionaires and monopolists. He
claims that they are controlled by mon
9ed men and that they care little or moth
eng about q poor man. Yesterday a
Nescs- Democrat reporter ran across Mr..
Snyder and he at once interposed the
question whether it was true that he
vas going to support the National DEM
cratic ticket.
"Yes sir, ! am going TO vote for
Cleveland and Thurman because be-
leve it is to my interest. / am q poor
man and think it is to the interest of
che poor men to vote with the demo-
cratic party because they are in favor
OF reducing the tariff on the necessaries
of life. l made up my mind some time
age that l would vote for Cleveland and
said SO, but it has lately been reported
that | was not going to stick up for
Cleveland and came to Canton pur-
posely to correct the error. ana going
to support Cleveland and Thurman and
the entire democratic ticket and am
going to do it openly, too,"
Mr.. Snyder has lived In Mapleton for
over 4S years and is man that always
welded considerable influence in his
neighborhood. For 33 years he served
as postmaster in Mapleton and made a
!, very efficient and faithful officer. He
has six sons and four son-in-laws who
are republicans, and a big Relationship
throughout the township that is largely
republican. His desertion from the re
publicans will exert great influence
over some of his sons and sons-in-lav
and many of his republican relatives
He has been the backbone of republi
canism in Osnabnrg township and i
mas often been admitted by men Of par
ties that he has been tie 3eadms spiri

EDITOR Leader:-The statement
made by Mr.. Chapman Wednesday
night that President Cleveland offered
to return the rebel flags to the southern
states is false, and entirely devoid Of
the truth. The president never signed
letter, order or document Of any kind
suggesting their return, or Offering TO
return, or endorsing the return Of any
flag. But there is proof that the adju-
tant-general of the army, by the way
a strong republican, suggested to the
secretary of war the returning Of the
flags, and caused all the controversy
tpeEtaining to them.

The Road Fiend.


A public meeting of farmers and tax
payers of Hartford county, to consider
plans for improving the public roads
was held at Bel Air on Monday by the
election of Col. John Carroll Walsh
chairman and F. w. Baker secretary.
The draft Of bill to be submitted to
the Legislature, and prepared at the
suggestion of the Deer Creek, Fallston
and Wilma Farmers Clubs, was read
and discussed. It provides for an en-
tire change of their road system by
2acing the public roads under sep
zle commission of three, independent
of the county commissioners, and the
employment of a civil engineer. The
discussion was animated. and lasted
until near night. when an adjournment
was voted until the first Monday in
! February.
I'VE published the Hartford plan in
detail few weeks since, and to our
mind it is bungling arrangement
with too much machinery about it.
Judging from the way the project hung
fire in the meeting not few of the
Hartford people are ofthe same opinion
In multitude Of council there is wis
dom. however, and we hope something
will grow out of the agitation.
