The following story comes from RAJ

eighteen-year-old son of Solomon
Richardson, of Racine, left his home
for Portland, Ore. He reached his
destination safely and lived there until
a few months ago, when, walking
along the shore, he was suddenly
seized from behind and carried on
board a steamer which sailed for En-
gland that night. He was subjected
to the cruelest treatment and was
nearly starved. In due time the vessel
reached Plymouth, but he was not
liberated, and it was only after waiting
for considerable time that an oppor-
tunity offered itself for him to mail a
letter containing the facts. Mr.. Rich
ardson has placed the matter in the
hands of his attorneys, who will en-

THERE is one blessing that will fol-
low the close of the present redhot
campaign, and that is the suspension
OF the mongrel newspapers which de-
pend upon the Doodle of candidates to
bolster them up. Such publications
are an injury to the legitimate news
paper business, are no benifit to any
community, and are generally conduct
ed by men who have not an ounce OF
honor in their whole make up, men
who think it their right and privilege
to feed upon the public without giving
anything as value received. After the
election some of these fellows will
start out on tramp. r.

Frank W. Ross, State Senator

Rice county was honored in this sem
atorial district by the nomination of
Hon.. Frank w. Ross, of Alden, to che
Office of state senator. Confessedly is
the race a close one for senator. Barton
county has the republican, Stafford the
union labor and Rice the democratic
nominee. Rice is the battle field. The
victor in Rice county is the, victor i'm
the district. Mr.. Ross has a great
number Of friends and supporters in
Rice county who affirm that he will
carry it by majority. We could have
no better man to represent us in the
state senate than Mr. Ross. An honest,
incompatible man, ever on the alert for
the good OF the peOple.-Lyons Tribune.

REMOTE POSSIBILITIES.

Money and practical organization
have their effect in politics. They pree
sent the only menace to sweeping dems
ocratic success this year. The amounts
of cash contributed by the special ins
terests whose lOb5ies have constructed
the present tariff can not be established
but they are known to be very largee
The national republican committee hae
collected at least million dollars in
Pennsylvania, New York and NeN
England. These special interests know
the value Of money, and they have used
it with ultimate profit so often that
they are not afraid to contribute hbers
ally when the success of one party
strengthens their iRtrenched privileges
and itsI failure would compel them to
depend, as Mr.. Seth Low says, ''more
on themselves and less on protection"
The republicans are beaten in argue
ment.f They foresaw inability to hold
their own before the inquiring spirit OF
the honest public and from the adjourn
ment of the Chicago convention the plan
of campaign has been one of Doodle and
sharp practice.
Democrats should not let over conf"
dence in the justice of the principle
they advocate hide from them the pows
er of money and dexterity in placing ito
Efectual use of money is an art in
every nations politics. No set of men
are better versed in the art than the
politicians in charge of the republican
forces. especially when they have the
assistance Of lobbyists old i'm the prac-
tice of bribery.
Protectionists like Andrew Carnegie
are awake to the value of a change in
the complexion of the house of repre-
sentatives. They care more for that,
if the two can be separated, than for
the defeat of Mr.. Cleveland. With the
senate secure for the time being, the
transfer of nine seats in the lower
house guarantee them against the
chance of tariff reduction. Whether to
sMewd men congressional districts con-
sidered doubtful do not, under the Cir
cumstances, seem the best places to in
vest their campaign money, can be
guessed without much hesitation.
When the change of a few seats in adj
EDITION to retaining what they have will
relieve them from apprehension about
a cut in their tariff fixed profits or a
dissolution of their tariff fostered trusts,
/ they are very sure to insist that the
doubtful districts shall receive most of
their money!. G. 1InsAs,

his being elected. He has met with

Martin stands, at the present time, an

who has read his views on the tariff
question recognizes that he is the man
we want in the next congress. Frank

tor, will get q handsome and wefl de-

of the fact that in Rice county Mr..

superhuman effort. Mr.. Chapman has
long ago given up the idea of coming
out Of Barton, his own county, with 3
majority Of votes; he has evidently
hoped that rumor has not followed him
down into the cornfelds of Rice. But
Nemesis is on his track and defeat
stares him in the face. Stafford county
is an uncertain quantity. It is claim
ed by the republicans and democrats
alike, and the union labor party appear
to have . pretty good title to it, 80 that
it is harder to tell how it will 90 than
either of the other eounties in the dis
