In recent magazine article, Mr.. Er
nest Ingersoll, the noted writer, says:
The climate Of southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt. Its
equability is constant, and its dryness is
proverbisl. The only complaint made is,
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents bred
in the eastern states confess now and then
that rousing storm would give them
grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fed from q superAuity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and to the invalid
dreading the advance Of disease the still
and arid atmosphere is as the breath Of life.

BELLEVILLE, Kan, Nov. 10, 1871.
At regular meeting of the Republic
county F. A. & I. U. held in Belleville on
the above named day, the following pre-
smble and resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, On the 4th of November, 1891,
a mob at the city of Emporia, Kan, in
celebrating what they claimed defeat of
the Peoples party, so far forgot all laws of
decency as to offer to all farmers and re-
formers the grossest insults by dragging
through the streets, burning and shooting
at efigies of well known men and women,
citizens of the United States and Kansas.
Among them L. L. Polk, our honored presi-
dent, MRS. Viokery, vice president of the
Kansas Alliance, Mrs. Annie L. Diggs,
Senator PETER, and others. We regard this
as emanating from the lowest class, and it
behooves all good citizens regardless Of
party to place the seal Of disaproval upon
such acts, and be it further
Resolved, That we extend TO our brothers
and sisters who have been thus wantonly
assailed in Kansas, and within sight of the
flag that guarantees liberty of speech to all,
our fraternal esteem and pledge them our
unswerving confidence and support in their
defense of the right.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
tions be sent for publication to THE ADvo-
GATE and Republic County Freeman.
