/ Correspondence.
Last Saturday J. D. Pierce and wife
celebrated their golden wedding. Al
though the day was exceedingly in
clement, about 100 friends gathered to
tender their respects and congratula-
tions that the worthy couple had
reached their fiftieth anniversary, and
to wish them dismond wedding in
the future. A gold headed cane to the
groom, and gold bowed spectacles for
the bride, and gold coins for both ac-
companied the congratulations. On
the same occasion their son Edward
and wife celebrated their silver we'd
ding, and were the recipients of many
valuable articles of solid silver ware.
This is an occurrence that happens not
often where parents and children cell
ebrate their golden and silver anniver-
safies on the same day, or the same
day, or the same year even.
Eugene HaMmon and Lizzie Fink,
formerly of this place, but now of
Mantua Station, were married last
week at the residence of Prof. Dean,
which rounds out a circumstance,
where father and daughter marry
mother and son which brings to the
minds of the older residents that, half
a century ago, or more, James Green
and his son Lyman married Lura
Pinney and her daughter Sarah.
Mrs. Sherwin, who lives Il miles |
north of the Center, when hanging
out her washing, fell and broke her
hip. There are no hopes of her re-
cOvery.
If the people in all of the towns and !
villages around about US insist on
one of our citizens every
time he makes call at their place, we /
would suggest that they give him one
that will last, say couple of days at
least. One that would last a week
would he better, as it would save him
time and travel.
Just now we congratulate those who
got out their sleighs and used them in
the storm of last Friday, for the pros
pect now is that they won't do so again
for day or two.

day goods We're sold here during the

by =" the simple mindes and uplettered

sidered a serious affair.
We spent some time in reading the
comments of the press upon President
Clsveland's message. After much
reading pro and con, we concluded TO
read the message, which we found to
contain the most good solid common
sense of any message we have read for
many years. 1t is a simple, plain,
common sense talk to the people, and
we advise everyone to read it and make
their comments, and not depend en-
tirely upon political newspapers for
their information. w. II. B.

on him, telling him to the floor, and
while thus at the mercy of his ugly

made free trade and its effects
study. He Is probably the best in
formed foreigner on general topics in
TINS country to-day. He is earnestly
supporting Harrison and opposing
the introduction of free trade into
this country. In the last number of
ms paper, the IRISH World, he saws:
Protection to American labor means
good wages and a higher standard of
living Tor the American workman.
The millennium is not attainable In
this world, but of all countries the
one that offers the best opportunities
to the poor man is America, and the
most prosperous and progressive
times the nation has had have been
under the protective policy The
adoption Of British free trade. on the
other hand, would mean reduced
wages and a lower standard of living.
Common sense, history and expeT-
lence teach these things.
A situation Of affairs is BROUGHT
about when every American citizen
must be practical on the question
raised. The man who believes in
protection to American labor cannot
consistently vote for Cleveland and
Thurman, and the man who favors
free trade cannot logically support
the platform on which Harrison and
Morton stand. There are surprising
~ foolish things done at times IN this
world, but to me it does seem impOs-
sible for the American people, on an
issue so sharply defined as this tariff
question is, to deliberately vote for
their own ruin. ''Were it possible
writes Mr.. James G. Blaine from
abroad ''fOr every voter of the re-
public to see for himself the condi-
ton and recOmpense of labor in
Europe, the party Of free trade in the

the two oceans. It may not be
directly In our power to elevate the
European labOrer, but it will be a
lasting stigma upon our statesman
ship If we permit the American Ia
bOrer to be forced down to the
European level"
On a true presentation of the ques-
ton the wage-workers of America
viii not vote to support the free trade
party.

DOUGLAS, KAN, September 12.-The
Douglas Sugar works commenced
operations on the 10th and accumu-
lated sufficient syrup to make the
first strike last night, resulting IN OBJ
tanning 1900 pounds Of sucrOse
which yields 80 per cent, pure sugar,
or 5000 pounds. They are using
about fiifty-fye tons Of cane every
twenty-fOur hours, and by Saturday
Will Der running 120 tons, the full
capacity Of the mill The works
cost about $4,000 and were put up
by. the people of this town with out
side aid. They adopted the Hughes
process and find 1t satisfactory. The
machinery was put In by J. S. Maus,
Fred Mencz, a German sugar boiler
OF many years experience, having
charge of the sugar making. 1t is a
home concern under the management
Of practical men and demonstrates
that sugar can be made Ia paying
quantities from sorghum cane with
out assistance from sO-caEed experts.
The best results so far obtained are
from some old fashioned cane which
has been grown IN this vacinity for
the last dozen years. The analysis
shows 90 pounds Of sugar to the ton
Of cane, which is looked upon as ex-
tFaOrdinRfy. These works are to be
run night and day till freezing
weather, as they have an abundance
Of cane. Dr.. CrOmptOn. United
States Chemist, was here this week,
consulting with two government
chemists already here, and giving the
benefit Of his experience to the opera
tors Of the mill Within week
these works VIII be making from
twelve to fourteen thousand pounds
Of frst-Class sugar daily.

The labOring record of the Repub-
Hcan state ticket ought to be good
enough to satisfy the worst labor man
Of the period. Hon. L. y. Humphr-

ed widowed mother and attended
school during the winters. He finally
became an iron-mOulder and machin-

When grown he studied law and work
