The daily papers of the 9th give
particulars how a hildnamed Bloom
er was missed at Rosalia, Kansas,
and could not be found, and how
Alonzo Williams and wife were ac-
eused Of numbering the child, how a
mob gathered and put ropes around
the necks of Williams and wife, and
treated them shamefully, threatening
to hang them. if they did not confess,
and tell where the body of the child
could be found and how, just before
they swung up the unfortunate pair,
the prattling little one was found IN
hurt. Mr.. and Mrs. Williams were
renters Of Boomers and were wholly
innocent. Mobs are dangerous ma
chimes and often murder innocent
men and women. The safe way, the
only civilized way to punish Grimm
ais, is by law, ealmnly, deliberately,
without passion or prejudice. 1t is a
maxim Of law that st were better
that ninety-nine guilty persons go IN
punished than that one innocent per
son is made to suffer the severe pen
atty Of the law" We should always
remember, too, that there is a higher
law than the statutes, and that the
transgressor may escape the penalty
prescribed by the civil law, but can
not escape the punishment provided
by the higher law. Let every good
citizen strenuously oppose mob VIC
Ience.

r. A. Dague who has been absent
nearly four months and who returns
to the editorial chair of the HERALD,
desires to express his qualification
that the Republicans of this county
have placed before the people so
strong a ticket for the respective
county offices-strong because Of the
eminent fitness of the men who com
pose that ticket. They are among
the most honorable and thoroughly
competent gentlemen of the county.
AS IS pretty well known we are per
sonally of the Independent stripe of
Republicans. We are no blind par
tisan who supports the party right or
wrong, hence we are glad to have so
good a ticket this year-one we can
conscientiously and enthusiastically
work for Let the little jealousies
and petty quarrels among Repubh-
cans be dropped and let US all give
the ticket a warm earnest support
1t is a splendid ticket and we must
remember that it is the election Of
good men that strengthens a political
party.

The Chrenie Kicker of the Long
Island Inter-Ocean.

The Chronis Kicker Of the Long
Island Inter Ocean.
As was expected, editor Montgom-
cry of the Long Island InteT-Ocean
is kicking against the action of the
late Republican County Convention
but when has he done otherwise 4?
Montgomery would not be happy un-
less he could find fault with some
body and load somebody with cpl
thets. In his last paper he says
Had we space we should like very
much to dilate upon the proceedings,
and comment upon the perfdy which
seems to be a predominant feature
with Ia certain clique at the county
seat. =
A specialized dude from Solomon
township, n8med LcLeOd, has neither
the honor Of a gambler, nor the sense
of a school boy. We
would rather have for a friend the
most bitter enemy, than the guaran-
teed assistance of a Yacillating,
treacherOus cOXcOmb.
The old soldier principle was a
hobby for the ring so long as it work
ed to it's advantage. 1t was a savior
in the case Of Kingery, but a maels-
from for Fisher. Faithfulness to
principle, as alleged, IS a snare and a
delusiOn. To gam point is the par
amount text. Principle be id II
it stands in the way Of Il desired end.
| Campbell was a soldier, but he was
not the sort of timber suitable for the
purposes of the Shiny politicians at
the county seat, hence Scrivener, or
long tailed rat was preferable.
Anybody familiar with Montgom-
ery's writings would know who wrote
that It is the same old complaint,
of clique "ring," ''slimy poll
ticians," with an admixture of lit
tie profanity and an injured limo
cence tone"
Now the facts are the late conven-
ton was composed mainly OF intelli-
gent farmers-the solid substantial
voters of the county, and the ticket
they nominated is one of the best il
not the best ever placed before the
people of this county.
This practice our contemporary
has of going to Republican Conven-
tons as a delegate, and because he
cannot have his way in everything, tc
go home and ''howl" and ''kick'' and
swear, and call other people bad
names, and get up a division and dis
satisfaction, is a bad habit and we
hope our contemporary viii quit it.
Some candidates must always be dis
appointed No party nor Govern
ment can be successfully carried OF
without mutual concessions anC
cheerful acquiescence by the minority
in the expressed wish Of the majority
Any other course would not only de
stroy a party but our system of Gov
eminent itself The county ticket L
a splendid one it was honestly nom
mated, and we say let all nonsense bt
abandoned, and let the candidate
have the warm support of all tn
voters of the county who wish to Sc,
an honest, efficient administration o
county affairs.

manner but gave us fair warning that
he had his war paint on, politically.

zeal prophet he is a dismal failure.
Every year he is just as confident as

nominations, but we are delighted at
the splendid ticket put forward by
the republicans and we can work for
its success most cheerfully. The

Revival of the Half Cent.

The American Newsdealers' Associ-
alton will petition Congress to estab-
1ish half cent coinage. On one cent
papers the dealers profit is only half
a cent, and in many instances the b alf
cent is lost because there is no coin
OF this value. An appreciate loss
arises from this source in the course
OF year. Forty years ago there was
a half cent coin in the country. 1t is
a favorite way in marking retail goods
OF all kinds to rate them in such a wav
that the half cent comes in. and in
every case it goes to the dealer This
odd cent in a large establishment Ger
tainly amounts to several dollars daily,
which the buyers lose and the seller
gains, for want of the half cent coin.
The infinitesimal divisions of industry
and retail supplies long ago made
these small coins a necessity in Eu-
rope. A centime is the fifth of cent
Switzerland has a centime piece, Bel
GUM a TWO centime piece. Germany
has the pfennig. equal to one-fourth

AN IRON RACEHORSE.
Locomotive Capable of q Speed of Sew
enty-five Miles an Hour.

A Locomotive Capable of q Speed Of Sew
enty-five Miles an Hour.
A locomotive. invented and patent
ed by a Hungarian, NJ. Ala Besthy,
is announced as a startling novelty in
railway engineering. According to
the patentee. the ordinary speed of
this engine is to be s5 miles an hour,
and will admit of being increased by
IL miles an hour. M. Besthy encases
his engine and tender in a shell of
thin iron. with the sides parallel and
tapered off in front, somewhat re-
sembling a plowshare. and presenting
smooth surfaces. Where great speed
is not absolutely required, but rather
the pulling of very heavy train, this
engine is claimed to be specially
adapted by reason of the enormous
power it is capable of generating.
This power is secured. the patentee
contends. by two boilers 16I feet long,
the barrels of which stand one
above the other. 29S tubes.
eter by 192-inch stroke, and driving
wheels feet 81 inches in diameter. 1t
might be contended that the total
length OF engine and tender is ex-
cessive, being IS feet. and the weight
in working condition-914 tons-far
too great; but this, it is claimed, is
obviated by placing the front of the
engine on four-wheeled boyle, the
tender on a six-wheeled boyle, and
coupling the four driving wheels This
provision prevents. it is also hoped,
too great stress on the rails, and with
the extra large wheel base, the engine
is capable of taking without difficulty
a curve as sharp. as 6 chains radius.
If this engine proves a success-as its
patentee expects-the consumption of
fuel on account of diminished air re-
sistance. will fall to point hitherto
unthought of. Although this new en-
CINE and tender will be II tons heavior
and % feet longer than any at present
running. the permanent way would, it
is urged. be quite strong enough
