AMERICAN CoURsING..

The sixth annual meeting Of the
American COursing Club opened Tues
day morning the Goth. with the weather
all that the sportsmen could wish: just
cool enough to keep the dogs in good
trim, and warm enough to make out
door exercise invigorating.
The drawing of dogs for the races
occurred Monday evening at the Morri-
son, Mr.. j. Fl. Watson, of Brooklyn,
N. T., vice president of the club, pre-
siding in the absence OF President D:
N.sHeizer. There were forty-six dogs
entered for the American Field Cup
stake, and twenty-five for the Great
Bend Durbs, or puppy stake, a larger
number than have been entered at any
season heretofore. The sportsmen say
that next year they will have sixty
two dog stake-the largest ever made
in America.
Tuesday the opening day was success
full in the matter OF quick races and
exacting ones, and a large number of
matches were run off. Wednesday the
forty-six runners were shaved off to d
smaller number of fleet footed favorites.
The judging of Mr.. John Grace was
giving very general satisfaction. Next
week we will give report of the win

and ''if that could be done why not
loan money to the farmers at two per
cent?" The inconsistency comes in
when it is remembered that this same
man, when stumping this county for a
democratic ticket. denounced the
national banking system as being
wrong, unjust, and a favoring of a
certain class as against the interests Of
all others. And the third party, up to
the time of the Cincinnati conference,
took the same position But. forsOoth,
as soon as the sub-treasury scheme is
sprung, the plan by which he says the
government will be continuing its
national bank policy. is all right
and ] just, and it is all right
for the government to go into the bust
ness of favoring certain class. Con-
sistency, where art thou?

The Shiftless Poor.

We mean that sort of folks who don't
bestir themselves when there is a
chance to chase down an honest dollar;
those who let little things hinder them.
We have had an annoying experience
with dawdling sewing girl. once
read of rich woman who employed a
seamstress who through exhaustion,
tainted while at her work. This kind
hearted lady inquired into the cause
and the girl confessed that she had not
tasted meat nor very substantial food
for two weeks, though her working
hours were from seven to six. She
boarded herself and skimped in her diet
in order to be able to wear good clothes.
She, with other working girl, refused
to board at a working girls home,
which had been established by phil
anthroplc people in order to give
working women good, wholesome food
for moderate cost. The objection
found by these silly girls was that they
did not serve IL" cream. The good
people thought II heir venture made
expenses they could al I'd this dissert
later on; but, no matter, these huffY
young women, ungrateful in the ex
IRENE, left-bag and baggage
their faces showing disgust.
One sewing girl wore ten-dOllar
hat, such one as an average woman
could not afford. We said, why,
Anna Linsey, can you really afford
such expensive head gear?"
She laughed aloud while two deep
dimples bored ito her sweet, pink
cheeks.
''Well,' said she. when Pa was alive
/ just would have nice hats an be-
came so accustomed to rice ones that
l can't bear to wear cheap ones. You
know they give such an air to person.
Sometimes I'd have to cry whole
week before father would give up to
me.-IoWa Homestead.

There are few Lincoln's.

Shortly after the battle of Gettys-
burg, President Lincoln was being
shown over the battlefield.
Here said the general who was
escourtlng him, there on this brow OF
this hill stood our brave men, who
three different times repelled the as
Sault of the rebels. l shall always be
proud to know Mr.. President, that the
men who held these heights, were
American citizens.'
And - replied President Lincoln,
''shall always be proud to know that
the brave men who charged up these
heights, and though repulsed, charged
again and again, were likewise Ameri-
can citiZens.''

EVERY day the prospects are grow
ing better for the success of the demo-
cratic party in 1891. The educational
experience that the people of the land
are now going through, and have been
going through for the last twelve
months, is making it more clear to the
popular mind that our theories are
right and in a reconstruction of our
tariff laws, publication of political
methods, and closer attention to the
demands of. the laboring masses lies
the safety of the nation. Republican,
ism has won its last battle on the issue
of sectional hatred and protection to
the wealth of the land; and the moment
all the people understand the real and
only object of that party, that moment
the sweeping success of democratic
principles will be assured. There is,
therefore, no reason why any man who
has for years stood by the principles Of
true democracy should now turn from
that party and link his fortunes or cast
his vote for any untried party. If an
honest, conscientious democrat wishes
to enjoy the satisfaction of seeing the
successful elimination of his laudible
efforts for the good of his country he
will not now put himself outside the
ranks just on the eve of success. You
who have fought long and faithful for
what you know to be right need not
now halt between two opinions; need
not fear that our present effort will be
as fruitless as some efforts have been in
the past; for the day of jubilee am

IT. Is somewhat amusing, and a
little bit disgusting to people who ad-
mire fairness and honorable dealing in
politics as in all other things, to see the
methods used by the Beacon editor to
traduce and malign his political oppon-
ents. In the face of the fact that there
are two straight tickets in the field
championed and advocated by the dem
ocrat and republican parties, he still
insists on asserting that there is u
combination" and probably is fool
enough to think the public will believe
it. Again, he takes extracts from an
article written by Hon. John A. Eaton
of Winfield, and published in the DEM
OCRAT, and tells his readers that "Mr.
Stoke says" 30 and so. While we in
dorse every word of the article in ques-
ton, we condemn the Beacon man 9

The republican county committee
has issued an address to the voters of
WyandOtt county. No allusion what
ever is made to prohibition. The fact
is that prohibition in Wyandott county
has been turned into such a sham and
fraud by the republican officials that it
would be ludicrous for the party to
longer make any claims in behalf Of
the law or its enforcement. Prohibit
tion in this county, under republican
officials, has become a loathsome hypoc-
risy, the machinery of the law being
constantly worked for blackmail, and
to further political corruption. The
law is not enforced but corrupt officers
grow rich from the proceeds of tribute
levied upon the saloons in pretended
proceedings to enforce the law. The
prohibition law as administered in this
city and county is most Astounding
source of corruption and of official and
Political demoralization.- Wyandott

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

THE three sets of candidates are
focusing" it over the prairies of Barton
county, in pursuit of votes. They are
not particular whether they are ''long-
cared" votes or only just cotton -tails''
the number they capture and the
amount of ''points" they make is what
counts" When the race is finished
we PREDICT that the candidates running
under democratic s'colors" will carry
off the ''prizes," while the peoples and
republican "cOursers" will be running
bye" up Salt Creek valley.

In A recent speech Governor Camp
bell challenges Major Mckinley to
name single protected industry in the
state Of Ohio wherein the wages have
increased by the operation of his tariff
law. The governor made the fair prop.
osition to his opponent to "give him
the votes Of all the men whose wages
have been increased by the bill if he
will give me the votes of all the men
whose wages haven't been increased by
it," and ION that basis" he declared,
'I'l carry Ohio by 100000 majority"
The tariff was raised on the pretense
of paying higher wages to American
working-men. That it has utterly
failed to do this is abundantly shown
in the operations of the Mckinley bill
in Ohio and other manufacturing states.

in the State platforms of this year
only three Demo ratio declarations of
principles have contained planks that
can be construed as favoring sound
money In Pennsy wanna, New York,

themselves opposed to the free and I'M

other States in VIII CHI conventions have
been held the Democracy has asserted
the potency Of free S liver as remedy
for the financ al ills of which the people
are said to be complaining. Last year
twenty two Democratic State conven-
tions adopted free silver platforms, and
only four favored "hard money" 1t is
from evidence like this that the general
ten .ency of the two parties on the silver
question is to be as ertained.
# the record of the last Congress is
searched it will be discovered that in the
House on test of the free silver ques-
tion 101 Democrats voted for unlimited
coinage, and only thirteen against it,
While in the Senate twenty three Demo
cratic members votel for free coinage
and only three against it There can be

friend OF cheap money!" and would del

Pope Leo's Startling Message to the Eu-
rOpean Powers.
Pope Leo XIII. on the 10Th adj
dressed letter to the powers, in which
he insists that it is impossible that both
the papacy and the Italian govern
ment shall longer remain in Rome.
The Pope adds that the recent disor-
ders in the Pantheon make the contin
uance of his residence in Rome out Of
the question. The recent scandalous
fight over the tomb of Victor Emman
uel, he says, was of the greatest import
ance.
The result of the troubles arising be-
tween the Church of Rome and the
state government will be received with
surprise throughout the Catholic world,
and it is not improbable that the pontif-
ical seat will be removed at an early
date. The announcement is too sudden
to foretell at this time where the Vati-
can would be established.
The Pope recently stated that the
Pantheon disorders were inStigated by
the Italian government for the purpose
of casting odium upon the church, for
political purposes. The outbreak in
the Pantheon was the result of dlspar-
aging remarks passed upon King Victor
Emmanuel over the latter's tomb by a
band OF pilgrims. Students attacked
the pilgrims, and riot, entailing blood
shed, resulted.

SeitZ'S Record.

The record Of John SeitZ, candidate Of
the Peoples Larty for Governor Of Ohio,
is ventilated in d thorough manner by
the Ohio State Journal, whose editor has
looked the matter up The Journal
shows that Seitz has belonged to every
party under the sun except tle Repub-
litan; that he has been a chronic Office
seeker for many years; that he voted in
the Ohio lie ,islatGre against ratifying
the constitutional amendment giving
colored men the right to vote; that he
recorded his oppo itiou to the appoint
ment of a committee to pay q visit to the
Soldiers Orphans Home; that he even
voted against the establishment Of such
a home, being the only member of the
House who did so; and that he fought
most bitterly the placing Of a Lin DIN
memorial in the rOtunda OF the Capitol.
The journal finds, also, that he opposed
the pa sage of a law equaliZing the
bounty Of soldiers and sailors; that he
favored a joint resolution instructing
Congress to buy the r. E. Lee estate;
that he voted against the purchase of
portraits Of Gems. Thomas and McPher-
son; and, in short, never lost an OppOr-
tunty to show his hatred of the soldiers
of the republic. In 1871 resolution
was offered in the Chic Legislature au-
thorizing the appointment of a commits
sion to inspect the coal mines OF the
State and report their condition as af-
fecting the health and safety of the
miners. This humane measure was
adopted by an overwhelming ajority,
there being only four votes in the mega
tive. John SeitZ was one Of the four.

SmartinG Under Defeat, the Premier Re-
tires to Private Life.
SYDNEY, \. s. W., Oct 19.-Sir Henry
Parkes, premier of New South Wa.es, as
anticipated in these dispatches, has resigned
as result Of the defeat of the govern
ment on Thursday last. The government,
it will be remembered, upon that occasion,
opposed the motion to the effect that
the government bill regulating the mining
laws should be returned to the committee
which had considered it in order that the
eight-hour labor clause which was con-
tanned in it might be eliminated. This
motion was carried in spite of the
stand taken by the government, and
the House adjourned with the under
standing that the cabinet would
resign. Sir Henry ParkeS, however. was
opposed to the eight-hOur provision in the
bill, but other members of the cabinet were
i'll FAVOR of the clause. Its again said that
Sir Henry, owing to his advanced age, will
retire permanently to private life.
