Because the HERALD opposes trusts,
monopoies, and other combinations
that are robbing the masses, and be-
cause we speak strong words against
the saloon and demand that the Re
publican party shall be progressive
and stand firmly by the masses as
against the encoachments of the
classes" and shall try to cure the ills
affecting the country, the Phillips
burg Democrat says we. are political
straddIers" and are not straight re-
publicans." The Democrat does not
dare to print a word against the mi
quities of its party; it seems to think
that it is its highest duty to wear
meedy the collar put around its neck.
Because the party is the ally and de
fender of whisley selling and whis-
key drinking, that paper opposes
prohibition just as its editor believed
IN selling and fogging and hunting
with blOOd-hounds cOlOred men and
women. The Democrat is so straight
that it is willing to be a subservient
iek-spittle for its party bosses, and
not have a single Independent
thought that the bosses do not give
1t especial permission to entertain. 1t
shocks that paper to see the HERALD
and other Out-spOken, Independent
republican journals, criticising their
leaders, pointing out the errors of the
past, demanding that the party shall
put forward its best men for Office,
and raising up a high moral standard
IN the party. Our advice to our con-
temporary is to shake of the moss
that is growing on its back, crawl out
of its shell, and have the independ-
ence to speak out against wrong
whether found outside or inside its
political organization.

Samuel J. Randall, the great demo
cratic leader of Pennsylvania, is
'.high tariff man, - while the Chicago
Tribune, the leading Republican pa
per OF the west, is for low tariff. The
truth is generally found between two

about half way between high pro
lection and free trade.

In the face of the fact that the re-
publican party IS the only party that
has made any reduction in the tariff
revenues since the war, and that
since 1867 it has increased the free
list by over two hundred million dol
lars, the effort Of the Omaha Herald
to fasten upon the republican party

The College meeting of this district
was held at Smith Center on Wed
nesday. A. P. NTcEIrOy and Prof.
Loar Of this place attended. We
have not the space nor time this week
to give an extended account of the
meeting. Phillipsburg still has an
opportunity of securing the College
but we must work for it. Other
towns will make liberal donations to
get it, and we cannot expect it with
out doing the same. If our people
let this golden opportunity to secure
this college go by, without making a
strong effort to get it, it will be one of
the surest indications that we are not
alive to our own best interests, and
are too fogy to improve the Oppor-
tunities offered us to secure those
things that would make Phillipsburg
the metropolis of Northwestern Kan
sas.
LATER-PrOf Loar reports that
the meeting was well attended,
enthusiastic and very harmonious.
An organization to be known as the
Northern Kansas Christian College
Association was completed, and fully
incorporated. The next meeting will
be at Phillipsburg, June 18th, at
which time all propositions to secure
the location of the College will be re-
ceived and acted upon. Prof LOar,

The Union Labor party, the Green
hackers, and the United Labor party
met in delegate convention at Gin
cinnati last week and attempted
to unite. They failed to do so,
and are now divided more than
ever. The bone of contention
was the Land Taxation Doctrine of
Henry George. Those committed to
that theory would not give it up, and
the Greenbackers and the more level
headed delegates refused to endorse
that political dogma. Divided as
they now are into three factions, they
can not accomplish much. They
promulgate many good ideas, and
propose many good measures but

Wonderful Specimens of Pottery Produced

"ohucrtu specimens Oi POTTERY Produced

The silvadors or musical jugs fount
among the burial places of Peru ar,
most ingenious specimens of handi
work. A silvio in the William S. Vau,
collection at Philadelphia consists ol
two vases whose bodies are joined on.
to the other. with hole or opening
between them. The neck of one OF
these vases is closed. with the excep.
ton of small opening in which a clay
pipe is inserted leading to the body OF
the whistle. When a liquid is poured
into the open-necked vase the air is
compressed into the other. and in
escaping through the narrow opening
is forced into the whistle, the vibrations
producing sounds. Many of these
sounds represent the notes Of birds /;
one in the Clay collection of Philadel-
phia, Pa. initiates the notes of the
robin or some other member of the
thrush tribe peculiar to Peru. The
closed neck of this double vase is
modelled into representation of a
birds head. which is thrush.like in
character.
Another water vase in the same col.

possesses of ejecting its saliva when

its lips (Clay collection), deserves spe.

tion of this instrument from a single
tube to more complicated forms.
Peruvian woven tissues. often dyed
in brilliant hues, are unsurpassed by
the textile productions of any other an
cicnt American people. Their jewelry
of gold and silver is remarkable.

NOSELESS PEOPLE,
Strange Sights Seen on the Streets Of New

Not long ago while in shop or
Broadway, near the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, there entered a handsomel,
dressed woman, wrapped in sealskin,
with clear white gems flashing in hel
pretty little ears, soft rings of blonde
hair on her brow. and altogether as
charming and preposscssing looking
woman as one is apt to meet on the
great thoroughfare. But she had no
nose! You wouldn't believe until you
saw it either how greatly woman
misses that insignificant feature fol-
lowed her about ut respectful dis
tance, drawn by a horrible fascination,
and to my growing amazement l dis
covered that she seemed to be una
ware of any loss.
The feature had been taken off near
the face, leaving hideous Scared
ridge from brow to lip. yet she wore
no vail, made no effort to conceal il
and seemed absolutely unconscious of
the horror of the thing. She was calm
and unconcerncd, examined and priced
goods, and, smiling at some remark
made by the clerk, showed a perfect
set of teeth
A pretty woman, evidently well salts
fled with herself. Crossing the pavement
to her carriage every one in the passing
throng gave her glance and gave
shocking start; but, apparently un-
conscious, she leisurcly entered her
conveyance and was driven away, not
even drawing down the blinds.
They say one can see any thing in
New York if one only waits long
enough, and l begin to believe it.

Treatment Of Horses.

A horse should be treated Just AS
you would man or boy. My carriage
horses Jared better at the hands of an
old Englishman who knew nothing
about horse than any other driver
ever had. When this man asked me
how he should treat them he was told
to treat them just as he did himself
only little better. He was mctllodical
in his ways. and he always fed the
horses before he fed himself. In warm
weather he watercd them whenever he
got the chance, and in winter three
times a day. Inasmuch as the hoysos
could not scratch themselves, he gave
them good brushing every morning.
