LANDING THE SHORE END.
An Interesting Description Of How q
Cable Is Secured on Land.

We steamed of and anchored as near
in shore as we could ger. opposite the
place intended for the landing place. All
was now activity on board. No sooner
were we at anchor than couple Of boats
were dispatched for the beach, with a
party Of men and the necessary tools
and implements for use on shore. On
board both picking up and paving out
gear were being made ready for action,
as they both played their part in land
ing the shore end; huge coils OF rope and
a number of collapsed air balloons made
their appearance from below.
These balloons were inflated with air
TO their full diameter of three or fouE
feet. and the quarter deck of the Dial
malta began TO assume the appearance
of a giants toy shop. Meany lie the
shore party had firmly anchored to the
beach two large spider sheaves,' OF
skeleton iron pulleys. These were plsced
some two or three hundred Y1rds apart.
forming two angles Of psrAllelogr8m.
OF which the bow and stem sNez-es OF
the ship made the other two.

How the Players league can continue

that the organization would have more
chances for success by letting such IN

Johnnie Dawson has a fine colIec-
ton Of petrifcatiOns. What shall
we call him, Tat, a petrifactiOnist or
a ''fossilOlOgist"?
Mr.. Editor, we are constrained by
Judge Bertram's letter to ask a
question or two. When we have a
Supreme Court that will decide that
a law made by a sovereign people is
unconstitutional, how may that peO-
pie know what constitutional amend
ments and laws to enact? If a court
may set aside the decision of the
UOter8, then our form of government
is a farce.
Another question. Would Hon
| Betram have dared to write such a
! letter while on the bench if it had
not been for said decision? We
venture that he would not. It was
well known that the Judge was a re-
submissiOnist before his election, but
no one would haYe said that he was
not a good citizen, yet here we actu-
ally have ''Our Judge" excusing meI
for violating a law which after ter
years of trial has been found to bt
as acceptable to a majority of the
people as any criminal law; openly
saying that perhaps fifty cases o.
! perjury occur every day in Kansas
yes in each county IN Kansas. Tha
makes $50 cases in the Judges dis
trict. Ought the Judge on the bencL
even by implication, excuse violation
of the law in this way? Ought b.
not rather, as long as he holds tina
Office to do all in his power to enfOrc
each I0lU until it is repealed.

The Alliance Convention.

The Alliance County Convention
held at this place last Monday was
largely attended. The business part
of the convention was of course
secret. At 2:3O p. M, q vast crowd
gathered in and about the Court
House to hear the speech Of VIM.
Baker, the Alliance candidate for
Congress. There was so great a Jam
that it was finally decided to have
the speaking out doors on the east
side of the Court House. o. L.
Smith introduced Mr. Baker with a
few appropriate remarks.
Mr.: Baker spoke about twenty min
uets. He remarked that owing to
the fact that the Alliance had county
think it prudent to speak at length
at this time, but he had arranged to
make three speeches in Phillips cOun-
ty between this time and election
when he would present more fully
the issues now before the country
The speaker declared that the cause
Of hard times was the contraction of
the currency the past fifteen years.
It is agreed by political economists
that there should be S1.00 in circu-
lation to every $1,000 of business
transacted. We are very far from
having that much and it is to this
scarcity of the circulating medium
that we can in a great degree attri
butte the hard times and low prices
especially in the west. Mr.. Baker
touched upon the subject of Trusts,
MonOpoIies, Watered Stocks, and
other evils which had grown up in
this country since the war, and de-
clared that the law-maIGIng bodies
should see to it that tn csc wrongs
were redressed.
Mr.. Baker is ffty-nine years of age
has the appearance Of being an hon
est, quiet, cultured gentleman. He
is a ready and fOrcible speaker, and
makes the impression on his hearers
that he is a candid, una ssJIming gen
tleman of good mind and morals.
After the speech the c roWd dispers-
ed, and the delegates returned to
| Cummings Hall to nominate a coun-
ty ticket, which they did, though
they did not finish th,lr work till
after midnight. The tic ket nominal
ed is as follows: For Representative,
P. S. Wagner; Clerk of the District
! Court, +. Q. johnson; Superinten-
dent of Schools, 0. L. Smith; Pro
bate Judge, j. S. Friant-= County At

EDITOR HERALD: I see IN your last

liberty to state that w. j. Palmer

Chief, signed Republican,. Now
please allow me to say that your
statements were made without any
truth, it was a Republican who is af-
ter Scrivner, but his name is not Pal
mer, this I can prove by the editor Of
the Chief. I am not traducing Scriv-
ner in that way. What 1 have to say
I say to Scrivner. Our fight is pure
Iy of a private character, if he pre-
fers to make a public fight let him
open, my time has not come yet, if he
is anxious let him shove his quill
Now all I want is that you correct
the statement duplicating me, until
you know what YOU are talking
about. Respectfully,

With what was said in the HER
AID of last week about a controversy
between Sheriff Scrivner and T. n.
Shlnn, we had hoped that matter was
ended so far as newspaper discussion
is concerned. But Mr.. Shinn has left
with US another card for publication
in which ne denies that he has mis- e
represented Mr.. Scrivener. Believ-
ing that enough has already been
printed IN the HERALD on the subject
and that further publications would
only tend to make more bitter a per-
sOnal misunderstanding, and desiring
to act in the capacity Of a peace-mak-
er between two good citizens, we de
cline further contributions on the sub
ject.

The Democratic Congressional
Convention,

OOuF
The Democratic Congressional
Convention of this District met in
Phillipsburg last Tuesday Nine
teen counties were represented. The
convention was organized by electing
Hon. Tully Scott of Oberlin, temper
airy chairman and Prof COntrel,
secretary.
A majority of the committee on
permanent organization recommend
ed w. D. COvingtOn of this place, for
permanent chairman, while a minOri-
ty nominated Tully Scott. Right
here was decided the test question.
COyingtOn represented the element
opposed to putting a candidate for
Congress in the field, while Scott fav~
OIed a nomination. The COYingtOn
crowd triumphed, and while the bat
tie ragged all afternoon in some form
or another, yet the no candidate par
ty held the fort and finally adjourn
ed to meet in Colby, September 23d.
1t is claimed that the crowd favOring
DR.. Harris for Congress had the con
ventiOn packed, but CovingtOn's mo-
ton to appoint the committee on Gre
dentials by naming one from each
county spoiled the plans of Tully
Scott q Co. We congratulate our
contemporary on his political gener-
alship displayed in that convention.
There was a platform adopted but
we are unable to procure a copy of
the resolutions. There is the usual
plank, Of course favOring a resub-
mission Of the prohibitOry laws. IL
would hardly do for a Democratic
/ convention to be held without declar-
ing IN favor of the saloon. Let it be
said however to the honor of several
delegates that they vigorously oppos-
ed this whisky plank.
