A Dasterly Deed.

NJ A. Shoecraft is authority for the
following account Of viIhanous deed
perperrated in his neighborhoOd seven
miles north west of Phillipsburg, one
day last week. 1t appears that two
men drove up to the farm house Of Mr.
Byron Miller and made some enquiries
about the road. Mr.. Miller was absent
but Mrs. NJ. impaired to them the de-
sired information. They acted strange
ly but drove away. Mrs. n. was alarm
ed, and with her children fled to an old
cave, used as a stable, near by and con-
cealed her self The Williams soon re-
turned and went into the house. Not
finding any one they smashed in the
windows and in other ways damaged
the property of Mr.. Miller. A little
girl who vas not in the house at the
time Of the return of the men ran to
Mrs. Shoecraft's badly frightened
The scoundrels evidently intended to
commit a nameless crime on Mrs Mil
Ter and were prevented from doing so
by her hiding Every law abiding man
ought to be a private detective in this
case and If possible apprehend the
rufians, bring them to trial and land
them in the peuitentiary. The commu-
nifty is not safe when such miscreants
are running at large.

The TWO Kinds of Political News
papers.

The Two Kinds of Political News
papers.
There are two kinds of political news
papers. one is independent, progress
sive, and liberal, while holding to the
cardinal doctrines Of a political party,
yet it does not believe its party per
feet - infallible. It acknowledges that
some times its party has been wrong.
and the opposing party right. 1t has
honest convictions and loves country
better than party. The other kinds is
the straight, Simon pure" blind
oracle whose business seems to be 10
misrepresent those who disagree with it
and to white-wash- the party it afiIiates
with. at cares more for party than
for principle. 2 It disregards personal
worth to advance the interest of its
party. 1t is a one-idead concern and
that idea is party. 1t wars on its
neighbor and belabors all who do not
pay it servile attention. Its discussions
are more Of a harangue than "a fair con-
a-AANl- lA-As4AA Va -A-N AAA4a+-0-- AZ ms A4D
concern for right or justice except as it
effects the party. 1t slavishly follows at
the dictstion of the party bosses and
dares not venture on an expression its
own conviction. 1t has done more
harm in this country politically than il
is generally given credit for. 1t causes
division in sentiment among people.
1t misleads its readers as to the position
of ITS opponent and thus blocks pro-
gress. 1t stands in the way of political
unity and action It stimulates people
to establish hostile camps and keep up
a war Of words. It magnifes the evil
Of its party opponents and winks at or
neglects to expose the wrong of its own
political household. 1t dare not chide
its own party for what it knows is evil
and only evil. It is a ship loaded with
a crew bound 70 cut down all others not
carrying the same flag"

Quite recently a few capitalists form
ed themselves into a syndicate and they
got control of ali the tin mines in oper-
alton and will shortly raise the price Of
tin and solder and everything entering
into the tin business. from IS Is to 90
per cent. What are we coming to any
way. Today there is practically in the
United States but one freight line from
the Mississippi river to the sea board.
There are but two Telegraph Com
panies, but one Telephone Company
one oil company, one coal company,
one envelop manufacturing Co. Cor
ners have been made on sugar, on
coffee, on wheat, on every thing nearly,
and still the human hog grunts for
more and squeals because he cannot
grab more from his fellow man.
This is not the fault of any particular
political party, but the party, that by
wise legislation, cures these evils which
are so aflicung the country, will be the
trusted party of the future.

We notice that Douiphan county let
their county printing at legal rates
(SI.OO per square, as did the counties
generally in Kansas. Phillips county's
commissioners get the work done for
40 cents per square, aud yet the Kir-
win Independent and Logan Freeman
are trying 10 make their readers believe
that the county will be robbed at such
q price, though it is the lowest the
work is done for in all North western
Kansas Those papers wanted the
commissioners to designate the Logan
Freeman the official paper and send all
the work off into a remote corner of the
county which paper agreed to do the
service at ten cents per square is also
agreed to send the Freeman to every
taxpayer free Truly a fine scheme to
get bic circulation, by losing on the
county printing, and making back the
loss in the long run, in securing "a big
subscription list. The objection to the
Freeman's ''scheme' is thai the official
paper should be at the county seat
and the commissioners would not be
justified in sacrificing the public inter
ests to help on the Freeman's private
enterprises, even though he does agree
to do the county printing ut a loss to
himself.

The Kansas City "Star" says that the
Santa Fe railroad company has decided
to purchase 100000 bushels OF wheat
and ship it TO the western counties
Kansas for spring seed. 1t viii charge
nothing for transportation, and will
sell the wheat at COST taking notes
from the farmers due in one year at 8
per cent. This is a step that will great
ly aid the agricultural producers Of the
section named, and the Santa Fe will
be well repaid by the increase in traffic
which will result from this generous
action.

SMOKING WITH OYSTERS.
Recipe for Preventing Men From Making
Fools of Themselves.

Fools of Themselves.
| am told that in the volumes of Rem
iniseences lately published by Mr.. Firth.
he says that he dined with me long ago in
London, ana no doubt, if he says SO, he
did so, though / have no recollection of
TINS entertaining him. But when. as I
am informed, he goes on to say
that at my dinner table smoking
began NTH the oysters, | must protest.
No such abomination can have been per-
petrated at any dinner of mine. Then, as
now, whenever people dine with me, ! let
them have cigarettes after the rot; never
before. To have smoking with oysters
and soup would be concession which no
one would be grateful for, however invet-
crate smokers they might be. l do not
smoke; l have never smoked; and it is, |
think, silly and injurious habit (pace, all
my dear friends who smoke all day long y
which has become to so many one of the
chief necessities of life. But, as men are
constituted nowadays, they are not happy
without smoking; they do not talk well
without it; and therefore, for PHYS sake
let them smoke and, if Turkish cigarettes
come in after roti, there is no excuse for
that after-dinner smoking, which, in Eng
land keeps the men drinking by themsel-
yes in very gross and barbarous manner,
and in every other country makes them
take themselves away from the drawing
room to the smoking-room at intervals
throughout the evening.
No spectacle confirms foreigners inya-
riable impressions of the want of politeness
in England like that procession Of dozen
ladies streaming out of dining-room
without a mans arm offered to any one of
them, and climbing up the melancholy
staircase by themselves, critically inspect
ing the folds of each others trains, and in
wardly deprecating each others coffures,
fans and Jewels while dozen men remain
behind to drink more claret than is good
for them, and to smoke the tobacco for
which their souls are signing. If cigarettes
came in after the roti, this ugly and I'M
gallant custom would of itself lapse into
desuetude.
Let some few women of influence intro
duce smoking after the roh, in London, and
they will be able to do away with this
boorish habit of leaving the men alone af-
ter dinner, which strikes all foreign visit
ors SO unfavorably, and makes dull and
stupid break in the evening of every din
ner party in an English house, whether in
town or country.

of the enormous outlay of labor involved
in the building of the famous Chinese
wall, only to be told the next day by some
body else that there is, in reality, no such
wall in existence-nothing but few
patches of a very cheap sort of earthwork
faced with rock, Imagination doing the
rest We have lately, however, the state
ment, which appears quite reliable, of an
American engineer, who has made the
subject special study on the spot. He
has calculated that the Chinese wall is
solid stone structure, and that it has
an aggregate of 6,350,000,000 cubic
feet. The material used in the con-
struction of the wall would be sufficient
to build wall around the globe six feet
high and two feet thick. The stupendous
work was constructed in the comparatively
short period of twenty years, an innumera-
bic multitude of laborers being constantly.
during that time, engaged upon the work.
