The Rev. DR.. Cyrus Hamlin, formerly
a missionary in Turkey, now an call
round" reformer, in recently published
letter. in substance declares that our
schools (meaning colleges are dominat-
ed by English influence, which influence
may be reckoned by the resources of
organizations as the Golden club; that
our college professors get their heresies
from the fashion of catering to this infiu-
ence. He does not hint at personal cor
ruption by British gold, but the letter re-
fleets in some ways as severely upon the
independence of these gentlemen as a
charge of self interest would do. Can it
be that our own Garfield is thus influ-
enced? Perish the thought.

exemplifcation of one extreme following

One month ago we were in sheoi of
heat and drouth; now it has rained
almost continuously for four days and
nights. On Saturday morning the rain
stopped our work of filling one hun
dred ton silo as we were putting In the
last load, and it remains yet uncovered,
except so far as building paper and
boards may protect. We were three
days filling: kept two horses in the silo
while at work the first two days; it was
a picnic for them. We used a No. Al

11-feet elevator, which would cut as fast
as three wagons could supply the corn

pays largely for the labor, and the labor
amounts to nothing extra, for it saves
husking the corn and threshing the oates.
Two men have to be kept to do the work
anyway and we find by setting the ma

the oats and hay with great ease and
rapidity into large boxes holding a ton,
made of light lumber, on wagon. This
cut feed we place in self feeders, under

troughs when thought necessary.
My oat stubble was plowed and sowed
to oats and t;lrnips for fall feed. The

STREETER AND COMPANY.
Newton Republican,

NeNsuu NtpubliCtn,
Our friends. the Union Labor men,
says the Arkansas City Traveller. have
been peculiarly unfortunate all around
in the selection of their candidates. We
say unfortunate because the rank ana
file of the party are honest men, who
believe that the public's interest can be
best subserved by the adoption OF the
principles advocated in their platform.
Should they succeed in the election of
their national and state tlckets-a thing
they do not claim to be possloie-the IN
struments they have nominated to carry
out their cherished principles would fall
far short of their fondest hopes. Streeter,
their candidate for president, Is the
wealthiest of the many candidates
for that Office and Is recog-
nized at home as grind
ing and unfeeling money lender.
Elder. the candidate for governor OF this
state, has been a beggar tor office ID

during the past quarter OF century. He

perhaps, he's the most unsavory record OF

strict economy and a close application to
his office, he managed 10 save consider

upon the candidates Of the Union Labor
party are not given with the view OF IN

say that il is very unfortunate Tor any

would expect to see eternally quarreling
with a woman. We always thought it
was the nature of the hue to kind of like
them. The Wichita EAGLE is now in
trouble with Mrs NJ. +. DeGreer, who,
in the days of that eminent feminine, St
John, had the additional name of Call
Murdoch says he does not know her, and
perhaps this accounts for it. Mrs De-
Greer informs the editor of the EAGLE
that she is about to organize a Woman's
Republican club at Wichita, which
throws him into spasms about the sphere
of woman, and probably biased by local
jealousy, since Mrs. DeGreer is from To-
peka. Mrs. Cougars bowling around
against a man Of Ben Harrison's charac-
ter for purity in every relation of life,
gives color to the kick of the EAGLE.

party have agreed to fuse on candidates

THE UNION SOLDIER A HJRELING
AND a CUR"

The Wichita EAGLE says the criticism
of the Newton Republican neither disturbs
nor convinces u.s. We certainly had no
desire to disturb and very little hope of
convincing" The point we tried to make
was. that the EAGLE in singing out a del
egate TO the late state Union convention as
a black beast" and n ''yawpipg negro
and black fool" was making an unjust
discrimination. 1t was making out that
this particular orator stood on lower
plane than the rest of the convention We
insist that the orator was addressing his
peers. The color OF his skin had nothing
10 do with the case The sentiments ut
tered by this speaker were the sentiments
of the convention, neither more ''yawpful'
nor beaStly nor foolish. The EAGLE thinks
a white man could not have safely made
the statements uttered by this black man.
We beg leave TO differ. We cannot think
of speech So mean, so dastardly, so I'M
patriotic, so untruthful that that conyen-
ton would not have applauded it. If the
EAGLES report is TO be relied on-and we
do not doubt 1.-THE black mans speech
was hailed at its close with the remark
That is the best YET or an equivalent
expression. The truth is, while the orator
under discussion has been spoken Of as a
black fool" he was the Mirabeau of the
convention, he was the Rupert of Union
Labor debate. Others struggled to voice
the feelings. the loves, the hates the hopes
Of the convention. but it WAS reserved Tor
this orator. into whose skin the sun OF
Africa had burned its brand and in whose
veins II had left its fire. 10 speak out what
the others would have said: THE Union
soldier was hireling and q ur'-Newton

condemning, the color of the speakers

phaslzinS the more glarlng outrage of
his words and declarations If they had
fallen from the lips of an alien anarchist
they would not have been so unexpected
nor sounded so UNI easonable. although

cisn lust as pointed and personal. AS
