In HIS speech at Humboldt Monday
evening, Mr.. Foust challenged the dem.
ocracy or.any one else, to name single
article of clothing from his hat to his
shoes that he could not buy cheaper
now than at the close of the last period
of revenue tariff. We have heard Mr..
Funston and other speakers make the
same challenge to other audiences, but
we have never heard any man open his
mouth to dispute the proposition, An
old gentleman i'm the Humboldt audi
ence called to the speaker that he had
sold corn in those days at eight cents a
bushel, another said he had driven a
three hundred pound hog eight miles
to trade him for second hand axe.
And these are the days that democracy
would have us go back to, when every
thing that counted for profit or loss
was against the poor man, everything
he had to buy was higher, every thing
he had or could raise for sale, including
his personal labor, was cheaper and
would bring him less money than now.

A NEW EDITOR FOR THE AMERICAN
MAGAZINE.

Mr.. John Gilmer Speed has become
the editor of the american Magazine
which, under its new ownership, has
already shown many evidences of Wig
or and enterprise. Mr.. Speed, who be-
longs to the well-snown Kentucky
family of that name, is well fitted by
taste and training to successfully carry
out the new work he has undertaken
He has passed through all the grades
of journalism, and was for several years
managing editor of the New York
World, before it was purchased by its
present proprietor Since then he has
spent much time in foreign ira vel, and
has also been frequent contributor
to the magazines and newspaper press
He has written life of John Keats,
and edited his letters and poems. For
this.work Mr.. Speed had peculiar ad.
vantages, as his mother, daughter of
Geo. Keats, the younger brother of the
poet, had preserved all of John Keats
letters to his brother, and many Of the
manuscript poems to which Geo. Keats
fell heir, upen the untimely death of
the young poet in Rome. Mr.. Speed,
in turn inherited these letters and
manuscripts, and made good use of
them in his edition of Keats. In con-
Quoting the magazine it is Mr.. Speeds
purpose to make it all the name i'm
plies: an illustrated monthly, repre-
sentative Of American thought and
life. He will have the hearty cooper
alton of competent and resourceful col,
leagues, and he therefore starts out
with bright prospect of making the
american Magazine worthy of the
success which usually follows we'll di-
rected effort.

THAT FAMOUS LETTER.

The following is the now celebrated
letter of the British Minister, Lord
Sackville West; for which he was
given his passports by President
Cleveland.
BEVERLY, MASS, Sept 13, 1855.
SIR am in receipt of your letter
of the 4th inst. and beg to say that |
fully appreciate the difficulty ia
which you find yourself in casting
your vote. You are probably aware
that any political party which openly
favored the mother country at the
present moment would lose popularity
and that party in power is fully aware
of this fact. The larty, however, is,
believe, still DESTROYS of maintaining
friendly relations with Great Britain.
and is still as DESTROYS of settling all
questions with Canada, which have
been unfortunately reopened since the
retractiOn of the treaty by the Repub-
lican majority in the Senate, and by
the Presidents message, to which you
allude. All allowances must, there
fore, be made for the political situation
as regards the Presidential election
thus created. 1t is however, imposs-
ible to predict the course which Presi.
dent Cleveland may pursue in the
matter of retaliation, should he be
but there is every reason to
believe that, while upholding the
position he has taken, he will manifest
a spirit Of Cancellation in dealing with
the question involved in this message.
I inclose an article from the New York
Times of August %, and remain yours
faithfully,
L. 3. SACKvILLE West.

Weather Report for October, 1888.

Prepared by Prof. F. H. Snow, OF
the University of Kansas, from Obser.
vations taken at Lawrence.
The temperature was below the av-
erage for October. hut there was no
killing frost. The cloudiness and the
wind-velocity were nearly normal.
The rainfall was nearly an inch above
the mean. Nine of the past fifteen
months have had rainfall above the
average.
RAINFALL-3.74 inches, which is O.
Sc inch above the October average.
Rain, in measurable quantities, fell on
4 days. There were two thunder show
ers. "A small amount of hail accom-
panied the rain of the 10th. The en-
tire rainfall for the 10 months of 1888
now completed has been 1886 inches,
which is $40 inches above the average
for the same months ip the preceding
20 years.
WINDS. w., 80 times; n. W., %
times; N. E., Ii times; s. E., IL times;
n. times; E. 4 times; 8 3 times; w.
twice. The total run of the wind was
IL ,16O miles, which is 403 miles below
the October average. This gives
mean daily velocity of $50 miles and a

LIBERTY.


Term opened Sept. 3, closed Oct. 90
No. days taught, 40; no. pupils en-.
rolled, males 20, females Is.
To the patrons: We are doing our
best to make Liberty a model school.
With the cooperation of the pupils W
have almost entirely destroyed whis-
pering among the older pupils. We
are happy to state that we seem to
have the good will of each and every
pupil. The list of those who stand
very high in scholarship and deport-
ment is too long for our limited space,
but we cordially invite you to inspect
our discipline and methods of instruc-
ton. There is one thing that we,
scholars and teacher, earnestly ask the
male members of our district to consid-
er. That is, the use of tobacco i'm our
school-room on public occasions. How
disagreeable this is you can only know
when you have sat all day by the side
of miniature lake of the nasty, filthy,
sinking, ugly expectorant. Think of
your nice room at home when you are
tempted to spew tobacco amber on our
schOol-house floor.
With the greatest interest for the
welfare ofeach pupil under our charge
we submit this report.
Yours truly,
GRANT Billie.
Teacher.

Merit Wins.

We desire to say to our citizens, that
for years we have been selling DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consump.
ton, DR.. Kings New Life Pills, Buck
lens Arnioa Salve and Electric Bitters,
and have never handled remedies that
sell as well, or that have given such
universal satisfaction. We do not hes
itate to guarantee them every time,
and we stand ready to refund the pur-
chase price, if satisfactory results do
not follow their use. These remedies
have won their great popularity purely
on their own merits. Goodhue & Ev.

THE enterprising little cityof Hutch
inson got out boom last week in the
shape of a supplement to Hdrper's
Weekly. 1t begins with a remark
that calls to mind the wonderful
growth and development of our proud
young state. In the days when most
of the present inhabitants of Kansas
were OF school, the ground upon which
the city of Hutchinson now stands was
hopelessly lost i'm the great American
desert. Hutchinson is typical Kan
sas city; lively, enterprising and wide
awake. Men who are energetic enough
to keep on booming their town through
hard times as well rs prosperous sea-
sons deserve success and seldom fail to
attain it,

A Virginia Metaphor.

This is somehow a figure that lin
gers in the imagination:
In Virginia church, at the end of a
revival, there were three persons who
were expected to unite with the church.
only two were present; the third,
quite an old lady. was prevented by
the lnclemency of the evening. Alay
brother was called on to pray, which
he did very fervently, especially for
the sister with one foot in the grave
and the other galloping on to eterni-
ty."~Harper's Magazine.

murder. to hold property which other
