JOSEPH MEDILL TO THE
FARMERS

The farmers of the west do not need
to be told who Joseph Medill IS. He is
not only editor of the Chicago Tribune,
the leading republican paper of the
northwest, but he is man of broad in
formation, wide reading, studious hab-
it's, serious thought and earnest devo-
ton to any cause which he espouses.
For this reason his words ought to ap-
peal with especial force to the republic
can farmers Of Kansas and Nebraska.
And following is what he said concern
ing the relations of high tariff and the
American farmer, the occasion being
the assembling in Chicago Of represen-
tatiye republicans from the various
counties of Illinois for consultation as
to the welfare of the party:
What, then, is the remedy from the
heavy burden of fifty per cent. tax on
the necessaries of life, both imported
and domestic? There is only one ele-
ment or class able to remove it, and
that Sampson is sleeping on the lap of
Delilah and will not wake. |, of course,
mean the farmers. The plundered, UNI
protected, 25,000,0 geeselike farmers
who permit themselves to be plucked
of almost every feather by hundred
thousand protected mOnopOlists. So
long as the simple-minded, bucolic
class do not kick off the burdens laid
upon them congress will not disturb
the war taxes and manufacturers cor
responding bOuntieS. While the plOw-
men act like Issachor's ass and crouch
between two burdens, both will be kept
upon the backs. The lubricants live
localized in the cities, and plot and
scheme for the promotion of their sell
fish interests and bring their united
lobby influence to bear on members of
congress, whereas, our farmers live isO-
lated and scattered, and can't or don't
combine In defense of their interests;
hence, are unprotected, unrepreSented
and unconscious of what keeps them
poor. They are captured by the spe-
cious cry of protection to American IN
dustries,' tho they get none of it; and
of the value Of the protected home
markets to them, as if monopolists eat
any more than other men. Not until
the verdant, imposed-upon agricultur-
lists wake up to realization of the con-
fidence game being played upon them,
will they get their eyes open and act?
In your lifetime? Samson-the farm
ers-is under the spell of Delilah-the
manufacturers-and his locks are short
and he feels no strength to resist. I'm
til the protected manufacturers them
selves ask congress to reduce their pro-
lection bounties in order to enable
them to cheaper the process of fabrica-
ton with view to finding foreign
markets for their surplus wares, there
will be no relief from the heavy burdens
it imposes on the fool farmers and the
| consumers. But when will that be?'

Saturday evening last three men IN an
old rattle-trap wagon, with poor horses
and poor harness, stopped ON the road
between here and Kiowa, and killed Il
calf belonging to MIR. Brown, living
about eight miles south of the CITY,
Some time that night Mr.. Brown made
the discovery, and by that time they
had the animal nearly skinned. He
gave the alarm, and Robert Craig and
others, pressed the rascals so closely
that they jumped on their horses and
struck out. leaving the wagon and har-
ness and the carcass of beef. They
went south for some distance, and then
turned west, as they were met by par
ties on the road, and were not met by
other parties on the same road half an
hour later. A pursuit was made, but
up to the time of our going to press, no
capture had been made. Nearly every
farmer in that vicinity has lost cattle.
and they are getting tired of it. Some
body will get badly hurt If the stealing
| is not suddenly stopped.

A Remarkable Dream,

A happy octogenarian, ready to de-
part in peace, very recently related to
the writer the following experience
When young man he was examining,
with intense interest, the evidences of
the inspiration of the Bible. This led
him to careful reading of infidel objec-
tions, some of which greatly troubled
him; and retiring one night, after wake
full hours Of anxious thought, he fell
asleep. He dreamed that he was at sea
in storm, the pillows about to engulf
the ship, on the deck of which were
stored all the Bibles accessible to him
And suddenly came a mighty wave,
which, with the boom it swept across
that deck, bore from it every sacred vol
ume into the wild waves. The shock of
the disaster awakened him in perspira
tion from his agonizing agitation over
the loss forever of the living oracles, to
see the very Bible he had read a few
hours before lying upon the table near,
rejecting brightly the light of the un.
clouded moon. His grateful surprise
brought to his relief flood of tears
While having no superstitious regard fo,
dreams, he said, "From that experience
l have no unrest or passing doub, of the
divine authority Of the holy Bible II
was certainly an impressive illustration
Of what we all have had--clear and deep
impressions made in 'dreams and visions
of the night. ."-Congregationalist.

The Land of Scott.

The chief impression stranger is
likely to get from h.s first visit to Scot
land is that 1t was discovered, if not Gre
ated, by Walter Scott. Wherever he
goes, whatever he sees, Highland and
Lowland, lake and stream, gray ruin,
and green glen, that potent spirit is lord
and master Of all. There is nothing quite
like it, think, elsewhere; no other land
or which the genius of one man has
written his name 80 deep, Greece still
oherishes the memory Of Byron, and few
Englishmen, at least, who travel those
haunted shores are likely to forget that
he owed to them his best poetry and gave
them in return his life But Byron's is,
after all, but one Of the many memories
that throng that marvellous land. In
Scotland all seems Scott. There Nature
and Man, the Present and the Past, all
seem to speak to us with his voice, and
take the most part of their beauty and
their glory from him The Bruce and
the Douglas. Cavalier and Covenanter,
noble and moss trooper-they start from
their graves at every turn to the call OF
the Great Magician.
The mighty minstrel breathes no longer
Mid modering ruins low he lies;
yet surely Of few men are the old words
