One of the finest pieces of ingenious work
manship which we have examined Of late, is
a model of the drop axle wagon invented by
Mr. Hiram Clark of this city. This model
consists of the axles, springs and cross bars
of completed wagon running part aside
from the wheels. and in every part the
work of Mr. Clark's own hands. The wood
used is lance wood, the axles and springs are
of steel, and the other work of iron, all
handsomely polished, the work showing the
skill of the real artist and being nice enough
for watch or clock parts. The axles are
about Is inches long, the extreme length of
the model about Is inches its weight about
q lbs, and in every part it is made to a scale
one fourth the real size. Mr.. Clark's wagon
combines some of the best principles ever
employed in carriage building. The body is
only "a inches from the ground, and as the
point of the circle or king bolt is carried
back from the forward axle about six inches
il can be turned on a very small compass.
The wagons are especially adapted for the
delivery of goods, are made of three sizes,
capable of carrying load of from 700 to
2 900 lbs. and are meeting with large sale

TARIFF REFORM MEETINGS.

The Lafayette county democratic
committee at its meeting held in this
city last Monday, decided to hold three
tariff reform meetings in the county,
the first to be at Odessa, on Saturday,
October 5th; the second at Higgins
vile, on Saturday, October 18th; and
the last at Lexington, on Saturday.
October 10Th, the local committees at
each place to decide as to whether the
gathering should be a picnic, barbecue
or otherwise, and to make such neces
sa-y arrangements as should be neces-
sary for the entertainment and comfort
OF those III attendance. Should the
weather prove favorable there will no
doubt be a great outpouring of the
people at each place, as the distin-
guished citizens who have been invited
70 speak. and who have signified their
willingness to be present, are men of
national reputation and would draw
large audiences upon ordinary occa-
sions even where general political SUBJ
iects are to be discussed, but ON the
great subject of tariff reform, which
mas occupied the attention of the people
almost to the exclusion of every other
subject since the issue was presented
by President Cleveland in his message
to congress, and in which all, rich and
poor, farmer, mechanic or laborer, are
so vitality interested, there will no
doubt be such an attendance as will
astonish even the most saDguine.
| While we would have preferred TO
have had one grand gathering only,
tor the entire county, the committee
thought that for the convenience of all
and in order to reach the greatest num-
Der possible, the plan adopted would
be the better. Let there be therefore
a friendly rivalry between the points
named as to which shall draw tie
larger crowd and make the day mol
enjoyable and beneficial to those in at.
tendance. Don't forget the dates-Oct

THE COMING ELECTIONS.

The entire country is now contemplate
ing with interest the results of the cam
~paigniug in the various states which
hold elections within the next two
weeks. The four new states have been
special objects OF interest on account
of the uncertainties of their complex
ion and voting MATERIAL Ii is certain
that the republicans at Washington
have left no stone unturned to carry
those states, and it seems equally GER
tain they will carry a majority OF them
With all their work in Montana, they
already concede that state TO the ueuo-
Gratis, and it Is altogether probable that
their concession is timely. Montana
has Missourians all over it, and oil
course they are democrats. Oh course
too, they know how TO eight the deVll
with fire." and 1t will be surprising II
they cannot sweep the opposition Into
the sea. The democrats Of the country
have, however, not expected to carry
more than Montana. The three re-
manning new states, peopled by nation
alltjes which almost invariably vote
the republican ticket, can be counted
upon TO vote it in this emergency. II
such had not been the case, a repub-
lican senate would not have voted for
the admission OF these territories az
states.
But the general interest occas.oned
bv the campaign in these new states
will serve to strengthen the position o
the west az the center of political
power. Future campaigns must be
fought in the west, and future victories
for either party wrenched from the
great grain.growing valleys. The re
publicans. last year, recognizing thai
fact, deceived that mighty section by
false reasoning and specious promises
and within a year has betrayed il t.
the arch enemy, protection. Before
another presidential election the farm
ers and laborers will have learned tina
the cause of all their mortgages ant
misery, their financial shipwrecks ant
distress, is the vicious tariff policy o
the party in power.

MR., HARRISON AS A CIVIL SER
VICE REFORMER.

The pretense of friendship tor civil
service reform on the part of MIR. Har-
rison has SO often been punctured that
it may hardly be worth while 10 do SO
again.
Mr.. Harrison i'll his letter of &C
ceplance Endorsed the republican
platform, which denounced the demo-
cratic party for alleged failure 10 ell
force the civil service reform law, when
as amatter of tact Mr.. Cleveland had gone
even beyond the law in the direction OF
reform. Among other things the plat
form said that ''any system of the civil
service, under which the subordinate
positions of the government arc con.
sidered rewards for mere party zeal il
fatally demoralizing." Well, that il
pretty clear, and under it Mr.. Harrison
stands convicted before the country Of
"fatally demoralizing" the public
service.
1t is not necessary in order to prove
| this to refer to the VIGOROUSLY bac
appointments made, in some cases oj
ex criminals and persons of atrociousiy
evil character, for everywhere, on
every hand, we see evidences of ap'
continents made "as rewards for mere
party zeal"-good men with special 1T
ness, turned out, and republicans who
are less fitted, put in their places
merely because they have been active
partisaus, III one case, recently, as We
have already shown going even int
the judiciary to pluck down a man
who was above ~reproach as a citizen
aud as a judge.
But no more fragrant case has oc-
Cured than the demand recently made.
and complied with, for the resignation
OF Col. VIM. +. Switzler, chief of the
bureau of statistics.
Col. Switzler was a union soldier
he is a man Of rare general information
and culture, and as a statistician anC
historian has a more than nationa
reputation. He is worth to the bureau
over which he presided very many
times more than what 1t was worth tt
him. Indeed even among expert sta
tisticians Col. Switz!er occupies a unique
position in having journalistic ant
literary experience beside. Here !
a man peculiarly adapted to his posi-
ton, hard to replace, honest, of excel
lent character and habits, yet he j
called upon to step aside for som,
republican politician who wants
place and who has been conspicuou
for party zeal.
Senator Harrison when contem
plating Mr.. Cleveland's shortcoming
on one occasion rolled up the whites o
his ewes and said:-"I do lift mp
hearty prayer that we may never hav'
a president who will not either pursue
aud compel his cabinet advisers Il
pursue the civil service policy pur'
and simple and upon a just basis
y Either that kind of civil servic,
n for Gods sake let us have that other
rank and bold, if brutal, method o
turning men and women out simpl!
for political opinion"
Let Mr.. Harrison lower his eye
toward earth a little while and tell u
"frankly and boldly" if the turning on
OF VIM. f. Switzler is not that ''bruta
method" of which he spoke in his in
vocation to the throne of grace.
