Mr.. 8. v. Baker hands us copy Of
the New York Weekly Tribune,
dated Saturday, May 6, 1855. which
we have examined with much interest
II is in mourning on every page for the
death of Abraham Lincoln and has
many columns of matter relating to
the assassination, the capture Of Booth,
etc. We observe. by.the.way. that in
referring to the Confederates, either
Individually or collectively, 1t calls
them "Rebels,"-with a big Rand
once in awhile it calls them "traitors. f"
We were quite shocked at this mani

"The Harrison. Tippecanoe and
Patriotic Songster," is the title, and
1910 is the date, of little time-stained
book that is placed on our table by
Mr.. Robert Cook whose wife has been
guarding the volume all these years.
1t is a common saying that sold
Tippecanoe" was sung into the White
House; and we can easily believe it
after reading some Of these stirring
and pointed verses. And the best Of
| 1t is they breathe sentiments that are
az inspiring to-day as they were forty
years ago; and that will have some
thing to do with carrying "Young
lTippecanoe" in the footsteps of his
grandfather.
Since the close of the war the epub-
lican party has had control of the low
er house of Congress-the place where
all revenue bills must originate
eleven years, and the.democratic party
has had control of it the same length
of time. During this period the repub-
lican party passed laws reducing the
revenue $3.50, 100000 and the demo-
cratic party passed laws reducing 1t
Sc, OOO, 900. This is simply quotation
from United States history, but 1t will
doubtless be in the nature of news to
the President of the democratic club
who said i'm his speech Monday night
that there had been no change In the
tariff laws since the close of the war

| Quite lively contest is likely to be
had between the political clubs of Iols
for the possession of handsome flag
which our enterprising cigar manufac
turer, Mr.. sampsel, proposes to giv'
away to one of the clubs on the frs
day of October. The scheme is lik'
this: Mr.. Sampsel Is manufacturing
1.-TWO brands of cigars, the Cleveland 4
Thurman cigar, and the Harrison ant
Morton cigar. Now If there be NOR
of the Cleveland cigars sold in lola
then the flag will be presented to tn
Cleveland and Thurman club, and
more of the Harrison and Morton ci
gars are sold in lola then the flag will
be presented to the Harrison and MOI
ton CLUB. The sale of these cigars vii
be closed on September 3Oth as far a
1 the contest on the flag is concerned
Let the republicans see that the Harrl
d son and Morton club secures the prize

q from democracy to republicanism an
:. spoke enthusiastically Of the certaint

sarcastic way the many inconsii
tencies and false pretenses Of the SUI
porters of the Mills bill, and pointe
