browns MEN IN PERDITION.-Thc
Religious Herald says: "1e was the
best member we had until lie got rich,
and now he is the worst" That is the
account one of our pastors gives OF one
of his flock. If you will notice, you
will see that too often the acquisition
of wealth ruins forever the Christian
influence of a man or woman who was
previously very useful. Many will
admit this ard yet toll and sweat and
fret in the effort to get rich, just as il
the Bible had never warned its readers
against the love of money.

Negro Emigration to the Congo state.

Stanley is full of the idea Of trans
porting negroes from the Southern
States of America to Central Africa.
The precise sight fixed upon is the
Upper Congo forest country. $4,000
square miles in extent, which Stanley
estimates would provide for each of
the negroes Of the Southern States
something like quarter of square
mile of land for his inheritance. The
climate is healthy, the country abound
ing in navigable rivers, with bills and
valleys u diversity the the scenery. 1t
struck Stanley in passing through 1t
that it resembled Arkansas, Missis

swamps. Anything might be grown
ON it, he says. from the oranges, su-
gar cane and cotton Of suh-tropicai
lands to the wheat Of California and

THE FEAR OF DEATH.

The first element in the fear is an
idea of physical pain. 1t is natural
that this should be connected with the
idea of death, for in many cases IN
tense pain precedes death. But the
two are far from being invariable ae-
compartments. Intense pain may be
followed by life as well as by death.
We must distinguish between the fear
of pain and the fear OF death. Death
may be painless. Pain and death do
not stand IN the relation Of cause and
effect. One is sometimes the proceed
inc condition of the other, but not the
cause. Besides this, the fact must be
recognized that death IS but a point
of time-an instant, IA second-and
that neither lhe preliminary process
nor the immediate dissolution is con-
stantly preceded by pain. Even the
worst death may be welcomed as
bringing "A release from suffering So
let us thrust aside the notion of pain
and keep carefully separated from 1t
the fear OF death.
Second, Is it tie idea Of the mys-
tefy of the change. One moment was
life, the next was not life. One in-
stant was the exercise Of vital ener-
gics, tie next their total stoppage.
one second, one VAS with this world;
the next, he is gone from IL forever.
This my stery, unlike pain, Is INSOFAR
able from death and the idea OF death.
One cannot think OF death aud not
think OF the mystery OF the change
anu the ionesOmeness OF 4. Every
one has 10 encounter il for and by
himself.
lhifd, Is the idea OF that which IS
beyond death. This idea also Is H.
separaDle from the contemplation OF

latlun, makes no difference. There Is

All these three ideas are connected

The Company own 5000 feet of
placer ground in Robinson Canyon,
commencing at the mouth Of the
canyon and running 5000 feet along
its course to the Joanna mine. They
have sunk two shafts about 900
feet from the mouth of the canyon,
and at depth of 45 feet find large
quantities Of black sand, with good
prospects of fine gold, and have not
reached bedrock. Shaft No. 2 is about
1000 feet from the mouth of the
canyon and the rim rock was struck
at a depth of 30 feet. This prospects
we'll in coarse gold and is getting
richer as depth is attained on the rim
rock. Several pans taken out OF the
incline going as high as 30 cents to
the pan-the gravel averaging about
8 cents to the pan--leaying no doubt
that the channel is rich. Some pieces
on the rim rock weighed as high as
Is cents. The company IS going to
start several other shafts to thoroughly
prospect their ground, and have every
confidence of finding placers that will
rival the richest spots in California in
the palmiest days.
The recent storms and heavy snow
have retarded prospecting, but the
company has determined to have
things in shape to take advantage of
the spring thaws, and will sluice
enough dirt to prove beyond a doubt
that the ground is a dividend-paying
investment.

PMlLLIPs.FOxTER DECISION.

BY the decision of Judges Phillips and
Foster, published in full in to-day's
GLOBE, the original package is again a
lawful thing upon Kansas soil, our pro-
hibitory law to the contrary notwith-
standing, and will remain so until a new
law is enacted regulating their sale in
the state.
The decision is based upon the law as
interpreted by competent authority. and
though it has caused great excitement
throughout the state among the friends
of temperance, we are pleased to note
that the people do not condemn the
judges for their action. Coming. as it
does. on the eve of election. will inten-
sify an already lively campaign and will
make the issue purely one of prohibition
or open saloons. With the unanimitv
there is in Kansas against the liquor
traffic. and with the unanimity in which
the temperance people will cast their
ballots for the republican ticket, the re-
suit need not be feared.

persevered until he had fitted himself
for his chosen profession. that of teach

give the desired information. But after
spreading yourself over the greater por-

OF the earth to which he is entitled. We
have some examples Of Mr.. Hoover's leg
islation in favor Of the laboring man
and farmer. We quote below the BUSH
ness end of Chap. AZ, session laws of
1883, the term in which Geo. NJ. Hoover
was member of the legislature from
this county:
Sec. l. Any corporation may increase
its capital stock to any amount not ex-
ceeding three times the amount of their
authorized capital, by vote of the stock
holders in conformity with the bylaws
thereof; and if a majority of the stock
holders shall vote for the increase of
stock. the value may be increased by the
hoard OF directors. trustees. or other
business managers Of such corporation;
and upon such increase of stock being
made in accordance with the bylaws.
the date and amount of such increase
shall be certified to the secretary of state.
etc.
This is the law which Jerry Simpson.
in his speech at Dodge City, character
lied as the wickedest and most iniQui-
tOus law ever enacted by the legislature
of any state. The law which allows cor
pOrationS to water their stock and then
draw from the people revenue sufficient
to pay interest on stock which represents
not dollar of invested money. On page
1916 of the House journal of 1888, Mr..
HoOver's name is recorded in favor of
this.law.
During the same session law was in
trOduced relating to the mining of coal
by the convicts in the state penitentiary
During its consideration, an amend
ment, in the nature of an addition to the
bill, was offered, providing that no coal
mined by cOnvicts should be sold on the
market for less than such coal was sold

PURCHASING RAIL ROAD VOTES.


MIR. EDITOR: he short space
in your paper in which to correct IA false
impression in the minds of many of those
who were formerly my friends, but who.
[ regret TO say. are now unfriendly to-
wards me. 1t seems that the crime of
charging that the railroad vote Of this
county could be purchased at two dollars
per head is imputed to me. l foOlishly
believed that my reputation for veracity.
and what thought was a firm friendship
for very many of the railroad men, would
render a denial unnecessary, but it seems
that credence is given the report among
those whom thought should know bet
ter. therefore take this means of brand
ing the report as an infamous lie.
l have never made the statement as
imputed to me. but on the contrary have
asserted time after time, when charged
with dislOyalty to the republican ticket
one year ago. the charge being based on
the democratic majority in the second
ward. in which live, and from which l
was at that time member of the CEN
trail committee. that there was no power
on earth known to me that could have
changed that result! That the history of
the railroad vote on the county ticket had
always been. so far as could see, that
they voted for those who they deem their
friends. and that no influence could be
brought to bear to induce them to desert
their friends or support those unfriendly
toward them.
10 the railroad vote of this county 1
owe, in an immense degree, my success of
two years ago. and that in the face of
the fact that they were under not the
slightest obligation to me and was
total stranger to many of them. That
should e,under these circumstances, the
author of such SANDER toward men who
have never done anything toward me
but what placed me under obligations
toward them. seems so prepOsterous that
it is not strange that l am surprised to
be called upon to deny it. do not wish
to be understood as saying that such

THE MUG. WUMPS SHOW THEIR
HAND.


Jerry Simpson and Geo. NJ. Hoover, by
which it appears that Jerry Simp-
son is to deliver the Farmers al
lance vote of the county to Hoover in
consideration of the endorsement of
Simpson by the democratic central COM
mittee, is tearing up the earth, as it
were. 1t appears that Simpson cannot
deliver the goods he bartered away,
while the mug-wumps, whose whole
hearts are bound up in the endeavOr to
be good republicans by repute at dis
lance and traitors at home, are on the
warpath because they cannot now sup
port the county democratic ticket with
out also supporting the 'Humble Peas
ant and their course will of necessity
put them in light with ''Prince Hail.
that is anything but pleasant to them.
They are earnestly endeavoring to pre-
sent proper front to the republicans of
the state while they stab the party at
home.
1t is also amusing to see the readiness
with which the democratic leaders of
the county have turned over to these
gentry the management of their political
matters. and the outcome of the demo-
cratic meeting of Monday,
which was characterized by some tall
cussing at the democrats by these mug
wump would-be political leaders for
what had been done in endorsing Simp-
son, and what had not been done in let
ting the republicans secure a lead that
was naturally invincible, will be watched
with some interest by those who are fully
SON.
The poor mugwump is in hard row
of stumps, and what with cursing the
democratic stupidity and the vigor with
which the republicans are waging the
fight. his chances of salvation-if he dies
before he has time to repent after election
day-will be slim. indeed.
The democrats have usually assumed
control of their own affairs in this county
but the NJ. WIS (Which stands for mug
wump) propose to show them how the
thing is done this season, and the lion
and the lamb will lie down together;
yes, even on November 4th, and when
they rise it will be resurrection. We
understand the NJ. WIS have ordered a
train load of sheep to be used in the
manufacture of Brown-Sequard's elixir
of life. to be injected into the democratic
managers of the county, and they hope
to be able to have them out in time to
gather up the fragments after the cy-
clone of November 18th. This county
should prepare to demand the banner
which is due to the best republican coun-
ty in the state, for we wager that no other
county in our borders can show both
parties in charge of republican leaders.
and under their guidance and direction.
1t will certainly require most glori-
Gus success to furnish balm for wounds
received for political perfidy, but the
leopard cannot change his spots. neither
traitor be true friend or honest poll
tician.
