RIG THINGS IS HARPER COUNTY

ANTHONY, KANSAS, June II, 1883.
Figuratively speaking. everything is
on the top shelf in this locality at the
present time, and nothing short of a
good sized earthquake could possibly
cause an interruption.
Seventeen hundred men and six hun
bred teams are now at work throwing
up the grade of the Frisco extension to
Anthony, and July 1st will hail the ar
rival of its first train with a grand ex-
cursion from ST. Louis and intermediate
points. Work is to commence next week
on the depot, and it's to be a dandy;
same plan as the st. Louis unionidepot,
only on a much larger scale. The road
fully realizes that this is bound to make
metropolis. and is building accordingly.
The new shops are to be in proper keep
ing with the depot, and the company's
grain elevator is to have capacity of a
million and half bushels; must have it
for this years crop.
Farmers are now busy garnering the
immense crop, the likeness of which has
never been known in this country: wheat
must average sixty bushels per acre,
while oats is liable to run anywhere from
ninety W OlIC huAuiCu t114A AOltS PEI
acre.
Great preparations are being made
here for the celebration of the 112th an
niversary of the American eagle, which
is expected to surpass anything of the
kind ever attempted. Six hundred old
soldiers are expected to partake of the
city's hospitality and beans ON that
glorious occasion. while athletic sports
are to occupy large spot on the pro-
gram. Oh, you bet we're on top down
here and never allow anything ''pica-
yunish."
The immense salt works scheme is
now taking tangible shape and ere this
article shall be put in cold type-if it
does not hit the waste basket-tbere
will be a stupendous concentration of
Chicago capital here and a plant put in
operation that will send cold chill
over Hutchinson even in the middle of
July.
Railroad travel has increased to such
an extent lately that our hetels are
crowded to the wall to keep up with
the demand. If it should contiue so l
can't say what the out come will be.
If any more new and startling de-
| velopments take place will write. Tn
| thoroughbred kansan, thoroughly &C
| climated and am something of liar
myself. o. CoMEoFF.

Secondly. we must have wages here as
low as in Europe to convert the raw ma
terial into the finished product for the
use and benefit of mankind. Thirdly,
we must have freights on land and on
sea as low as they are in Europe. And
lastly, we must have money as cheap as
the manufacturers of England, Germany
and Belgium, with whom we must wage
a RELENTLESS competition. The Demo
cratic party, relying in the ignorance of
its followers. invites them to enter into
this fools paradise. VIII they do it?
There is class of men who will be
benefited if the Democratic party be
permitted to bring about this state of
things. 1t is the class who have fixed
incomes, and are content in that station
in Ne in which it has pleased God to call
them This class can take care OF itself
without the aid of any party. But when
the ultimate object of the once great
Democratic party is to bring our repub-
lie down to the level of British provi-
dence, it is time for msn who love their
their country more than they love any
party to cast their votes silently but eff
fectively next November to consign to
Aerited obscurity the ex-sheritf OF Erie
county-Groyer Cleveland.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM HYPOCRISY

Gne of the most prominent figures IN
the st. Louis convention was Col. VIM.
r. Morrison. member of the interstate
commerce commission. This commits
sion is court, created by congress under
section of article II of the constitution
of the United States. Before the pas
sage of the civil service law 1T was not
regarded as grossly wrong for executive
or legislative officers to participate In
political conventions. though pubhc
sentiment was then growing up when
held that there was improperly IN these
classes taking part in caucuses or nom
mating conventions.
Yet at no time during the palmlest
DAYS of the old spoils system, was 1t
deemed respectable among either Demo-
Gratis or Republicans for Judicial officer
to condescend to bedraggle the robes OF
his Office in the mire of politics. Here
tofore the judicial ermine has been
sacredly guarded by a virtuous PUBIC
sentiment, not less than by delicate
sense of judicial dignity and proprlety
upon the part of the wearer hlmsei1'
from the polluting atmosphere and de-
moralizing influences of political conten-
ton and violent party detraction.
1t has remained for the civil service
reform administration of Grover Cleve-
land to furnish to the people OF the
United States the first conspicuous VIOLA
ton of that good old rule of respect Tor
the purity of the judiciary, which until
now has found reverence even among
the most greedy of spoilsmen.
Score another point for the hypocrisy
of civil service reform!

We are in the midst of an era of edu-
cational enterprise and activity I'M
equaled by any period of modern times.
The desire for information, for knowl-
edge, is well nigh universal in enlight-
ened communities, and the parent who
is not anxious to have his child receive
the benefits of every educational advan-
tage possible is very rare exception, and
it is encouraging to note that the same
spirit obtains among the children of to-
day. Another gratifying evidence of
the stronghold this educational impulse
has upon the people every now and then
some capitalist is moved to establish a
new institution of learning or further
endow some one in successful operation.
Among the former that have been in
augurated during the past year may be
mentioned the donations of 81 ,000,0 900 by
Tulare to establish university in Louis
lana, of 100000 by Clark for one in
Massachusetts, of several millions by
Stanford of California, $500, 900 by Miss
Caldwell for Washington, and the under
stood promise of 81 100000 by Furber for
one in Chicago.

DEMOCRATIC GRIT.

The Democrat who has the grit to face
the music in Kansas, has the grit that
will make this state Democratic some
day.-Arkansas City Daily Dispatch.
1t takes no grit for Democrat Ito
face the music in Kansas or elsewhere
in these United States. There IS not
township or precinct in this vast country
| in which Democrat cannot walk up to
the polls and vote openly sand unchal-
lenged. He may live in a community
| where thousand votes are cast, every
one of which is Republican vote save
his, and his right to vote the Democratic
ticket will not only not be disputed but
it will be counted. That's Republicanism.
But there are places, and many of them,
and states too, where Republicans are
even in the majority and yet they dare
not vote, or if they do dare they must do
it in the face of grave chances and
with an assurance that their votes
will never be counted. That's Democracy,
clean and unquestioned; that's the De-
mocracy which sustains the present adj
ministration of which it is a part; the
Democracy which put said administra-
ton into power and again renominated 1t
last week; Democracy whose deter
mination to rule overshadows every other
political consideration even to an appeal
to the sword; the Democracy which
owns and absolutely rules and runs the
only country which was ever made as
free in fact as in name, and so maintain
ed it for a quarter of century, previous
to its re-capture by party which be-
lieves in the ballot only for its friends
the Democrats.
