OURrcaders will observe by 4 clipping
printed elsewhere that republicans Of
the state are already awakening ~ the
duties and pleasure, the campaign Of
this year imposes, h,,I that they are oy-
gauizing for the work. The party has
not had SucH encouragement TO exert
its power for 4 score Of wears as exist
ing conditions offer. In the recent past
duties have been ptrfmctnry and per.
formed in the assurance of victory and
with confidence that checked the best
efforts. In the present the fact that the
party is confronted ny an opposition
that was successful IN the last cam
paign. and has devoted its allotment Of
time and prestige TO the work OF organ
iZation and preparation for the contest
is stimulating. THAI party has proved
recreant to every duty imposed by elec
lion and violated every confidence re-
posed IN its ability 10 act. Its years
have been wasted and its record is only
q miserable failure. ~ that while the
republicans party FAUST meet this strong
organization ii has yet the confidence
that the victory may be won by united
effort
RepubiicaMS If audubon county
should organize 10 perform their part
of the important work. An organiza-
ton should be effected in each town
SHIP, each i'll turn being merged into an
enthusiastic and harmonious county
organization. To make the work more
effective and to secure representation
in the February meeting at Des Moine3,
action should be taken immediately.
Let Audubon county bs among the first.

After the Public Printer.

>Ince tie appointment of Benedict as
public printer the pYolulnemt feature of
that Office has been its incapacity. lie
is bitter and offensive partisan. When
he first assumed the duties of the Office
the news was hCrnlded over the country
that he had discharged several hun
dreds of employees in the interests of
economy. 1t was learned that the dis.
charged men were generally Union
soldiers. Benedict then commenced
lllling their places, but this was carried
on quietly, and x was discovered later
that the new men were OF TIT chQsen
democratic faith, without ability or ex
perience. The business Of the office is
now far behind, and the fact is an an
noyance to all interested. in the House,
Tuesday, resolution was adopted ask
ing benedict If he had discharged or
furloughed his force, and if so for what
reason at time when printing is so far
in arrears; also whether In making such
discharges regard had been paid to the
statute giving preference in employ
ment to honorably discharged Federal
soldiers. benedict has probably obsery-
ed the statute, but by license Of admin
istration. substituted Confederate to
qualify the word soldiers.

TIE jury in the Arensdorf case III
acquiting the defendant set him forever
free from The penalty the law might
prescribe for the murder Of Rev. Had
dock. TIE REPUBLICAN has averred
that their verdict was not in accordance
with the preponderance of evidence,
and our opinion is shared by great
many people in Iowa and the adjoining
states. Newspapers and individuals
would be 10th to adversely criticise the
action of twelve good men and true, I'M
less the violation of their sworn duty
were palpablc. Counsel for the state in
dismissing the remaining cases against
conspirators said in their motion:
1T is claimed by the plaintiff herein
that said defendant, John Arensdorf,
fired the fatal shot that killed Mr..
IIaddock and that the testimony shows
that At rensdorf liredhe fatal shot"
The states counsel had thus the con-
fdence in their case to state their con-
yictions more clearly than has been
done by any other authority. The chi.
cago Ne,cS returns Il strong indictment
against Arensdorf when ii thus speaks
OF his removal to Milwaukee, and e.
tablshes skeleton in his closet:
HE will carry two things with him
from Sioux City whcresoever he goes,
aud they will accompany him night and
day, waking and sleeping, to the end of
his life. No human force can divorce
him and them; nor will any human
fattery prove competent to conciliate
him and them. The first of these is
memory, and the other conscience. This
memory is a picture that cannot be
oblterated, this conscience is bloody
finger that points forever at thepicture."

THE talk Of new telegraph line be-
tween New York and San Francisco
has aroused the old timers to lively
"reminiscences of the building of the
first line across the plains. One pole,
100 miles west Of Laramie, was set up
four times and each time hacked down
by Indian tomahawks. Each time
there was bloody skirmish with the
redskins for the temporary possession
OF the stump. At last the pole was
given to young man high up in the
management OF the Western Union. He
laid mine in the hole, set up the new
pole, trailed the fuse to an ambush of
rocks close by, and waited with two
armed friends. Then a band Of eight
Sioux came along and held a war dance
around the pole. When the mine was
fired all but three were killed, and those
three carried off mimic balls with them.
The powder blew up the pole again,
but it cleaned the hole out nicely for a
new one, which was thereafter let alone.

We desire to return thanks to all
those, who by many acts of courtesy
and kindly remembrances of delicaeies
and the like, did so much to render the
last days of our dear wife, daughter
and sister pleasant and comfortable,
also to those who so kindly assisted,
both before and at the funeral and to
the church authorities for courtesies.
Lest an unintentional omission might
do an injustice to some, we refrain from
calling names.
We do sincerely thank all, whose
truly christian principles have thus
been shown in time of sorrow to us
and may the same measures of consid-
Grafton be your lot from others, when
that time that must come to us all shall
come to you, thus smoothing that jour
ney, we all must take to that undiscov-
cred country, from whose bourne no
traveller returns.

SELLING FERTILITY.
The Losses Sustained by selling Crud
Products from the Farm.

The Losses Sustained by selling Crude
Products from the Farm.
An honest old farmer who had acc,,-
mulatcd IA snug little fortune when
asked how he had made his money, re-
oiled: BY buying steers and selling
them for less than they cost me-"
There was philosophy in the old mans
'eply from manurial standpoint /; and
100 few OF us realize what we lose in
selling crude products from our farms.
/ never knew a manure crank who
lid not make money by farming. When
We sell nitrogen. potash and phOsphoric
lcid in the shape of hay, straw and
yrain, We are apt to neglect to replace
hem. A man may reduce his capital
% an alarming extent in this way, while
aboring under the delusion that he is
making money. A long-headed Vir-
rinia farmer used to say that he only
old from his place what could walk off
IN its own legs, and his policy was a
rood one. The following well-ascer-
aimed facts, as stated in paper read
~ Mr.. Bailey before the West Michi-
ran Farmers Club, are sound and stlg-
FESTIVE:
In ton of timothy hay there are
hirty pounds Of nitrogen, worth 81 50,
orty pounds OF potash, worth &, and
ourteen pounds phosphoric acid worth
l.l2-total value in one ton of hay in
hese elements, 1872 This 1892 is
What this ton of hay would be worth
o the farm for manure, provided it
hould become necessary to buy COM
nercial fertilizers such AS bone dust,
uperphosphate, etc., to keep up the
ertility Of the farm. If the farmer
old $500 worth OF hay at $l2.5Opcr ton
forty tons-he would sell in nitrogen,
potash and phosphOric acid that which
&c could not get back for less than
316; $500 worth of clover hay, at $40
YER ton, would remove the same clc-
cents to the value Of 1866; $500 worth
# corn, $3.50; 500 of wheat, ut 81 per
ushel. 1925; $500 Of wool. $50; $500 of
ailk and butter, $3a; 500 Of fruits,
auch less than either; $500 of cotton
nd tobacco, more than any two of the
theirs.
Now, could we feed this hay and grain
III the farm in the production OF milk.
nd butter, and wool, and meat, and
et enough in the products to pay for
he hay and grain, we would retain be-
ween So and 80 per cent. Of these fcrtil-
zing elements on the farm, as only
bout 10 per cent. of these elements
reappropriated by the animals. So that
we pasturcd sheep in the summer and
ed the hay in winter, and sold wool
nd mutton TO the value of $500, VIC
'ould remove from the farm only $50
yorth of these essential fertilizing ele-
nents, and the tendency to impoverish-
nent Of soil would be very little. We
would tend to Improvement OF land
even times faster by selling 5000 worth
# clover hay, six times faster by
cling timothy, three and half times
~ selling corn. two and a half times
~ selling wheat, ana, estimating
oughly, more than ten times by sell
ng tobacco and cotton, and only three
ourths times faster by selling milk and
,utter,and even less by selling fruits
