\ Bottom man recently inquired ~ cN.
Governor Crawford whether the condl
ton Of things IN Kansas was really as
bad as represented and whether the Kan.
sas farmers actually favored the repud,a.
ton Of honest deb,s. To this inquiry Mr.
Crawford responds in u manner calculat
ei to correct the un:nvorable impression
caused by the PETERS, Simpsons AMI
other upstarts who came to the front
in the political revolution OF Last fail
The ex-governor spurns the idea that the
Kansas farmers IN class, will not pay
their honest debts. "rhey have" he
says, been too often tested IN the seal,
Of justice and humanity Ia desery. ever
an imputation Of that kind" As for the
value Of Kansas farms aud their incum
brance, he says:
Every Kansas mortgage, with isolated
exceptions, il secured by tract Of land
worth, at the time the mortgage was exc
cuted, ut least twice as much ns i, called
Tor. Having resided in Kansas for 2.
years, know something of the qusllt,
aud value Of Kansas lands, ind say
without the slightest hesitation, thai
your mortgage and all other Kapsai
mortgages, unless fraud Was practiced il
securing them, are just IA good aud saf'
as government bonds. The great major
ity OF Kansas farmers commenced life IL
that state with little else than the make,
prairie, and hence they found II neces
cary. az we'll M advantageous. to borrow
money. But at least niue t.nths Of tn,
money 81 borrowed was invested in stool
or substantial improvements which ia,
farmers nov have M the fruits % sacl
investments. Kansas, mind you, lie large
in area than all New England, New York
New Jersey, Delaware and Marylan'
combined, and hence il has taken grea
deal Of money and labor 10 bring il up 4
its present position among the agricultu
raj states Of the Union"
These words have the true ring an,
will go Tar TO restore the credit 81 Kan
sas which was badly shattered by TIA
defeat 81 Senator John j. Iugals. Bs
fore another year shall psss the Allianc
craze will have subsidized and Kansas vii
have resumed her normal relations wit
the rest % the country,
liz appears that under the Direct Ia
Refund law. passed by the last congress
nineteen states have applied Tor pay

DUSHORE ITEMS.
U. n. O.

This seems to be very unhealthy
time.
When is Dushore to- have new
depot?
DR.. Kelly of Towanda, is in town
this week.
Hon. w. G. Rogers, of Forksville,
was in town on business Monday.
Our streets are now alive with
newsboys every evening i'll the week.
j. V. Rettenbury has remodeled
the interior of his jewelry store
making it more spacious and con-
venient.
The boys have been doing con-
siderable fishing in Headley's pond
and, we believe, have met with quite
good success.
E. A. Carl has opened his new
boot and shoe store in Cronin S
building and is ready for business.
MIR. Carl says the outlook for good
trade is very pleasing to him.
Last week was week of amuse-
ments. During the week there were
three dances. show and two church
parties. Two of the dances were
private affairs and we understand
another is looked for this Wednes-
day evening.
Farmers certainly cannot complain
Of prices for their produce at present.
If they have anything to sell they
ought to prosper. Butter brings
from 35 to 80 cents in Dushore
markets, grain and all other earm
produce in proportion.
We are still anxicusly waiting for
"gentle spring" The springlike
appearance of the first Of last week
ended quite abruptly and snow fell
good portion OF the week, but she
ground was at no time covered
with more than one inch of snow.
James Dunn, nearly if not the
oldest citizen in Cherry township,
died on Tuesday night Of last week
after long illness He was about
IS years of age and was one of the
pioreers of this section, having set
tied on his farm near Dushore when
quite a young man.
Soon the click of the carpenters
hammer will be heard and by next
fall Dushore will be possessed OF
several fine new dwellings as well as
handsome new Lutheran church.
The building boom will not be as
great as in some former years but
carpenters are looking for better
season than last year, both in town
and in the villages and country sur
rounding.
Fred Heverly has moved to the
house on German street opposite
the Burke property and will do
business as wheelright at the old

The spoils system has been the greatest
obstacle i'll the way of honest and effici-
ent government control of the Indians.
BY making appointments in the Indian
service reward for partisan work it has
frequently resulted in putting incompe-
tent and unworthy persons in positions
where their inefficiency and untrust-
worthiness have brought on Indian wars,
costly not only in money, but in brave
mems lives The action of President
Harrison in extending the civil service
rules to officials and teachers of the Indian
school service is a significant advance in
the right direction. 1t shows a settled
purpose on the part ofthe administration
to lift the Indian service out of the arena
of partisan politics. While the change
made is only partial one, it is regarded
as being the forerunncr of reform that
will place the whole Indian service under
civil service regulations. That this will
improve the morale and tone of the ser
vice cannot be doubted. Taken in con-
nection with Secretary Tracy's recent
authoritative announcement of the pro-
posed elimination of the spoils system
from the government navy yards it is re-
newed positive proof Of the loyalty ofthe
representative elements of the Republi-
can party to the essential principles OF
honest civil service reform.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1891-04-24

The speeches which are being made by
President Harrison on his pleasure trip
recall the marvellous wisdom and sound
ness of thought which characterized his
public utterances at indianapolis during
the eventtul period of the Presidential
campaign of 1888. From the period of
his nomination until election day he was
called upon daily and even hourly to
make brief addresses to delegations OF
visitors from the various States Hewas
always felctous in his remarks, always
sturdily Republican, invar ably patriotic
unswervingly humane, and above al
God fearing Republicans, who had hest
tatcd to consider his candidacy for Presi
dent rs fortunate, because he was i'll &
measure an unknown quantity,
brcathcd easier as each days new record
of his public expressions was published
while Democrats were amazed that h,
made no slip of the tongue which they
could criticisc. When the campaign endet
in his election no one could deny that h,
owed his successin very large part to tn,
estimate the people had placed upon hi
character by reading his reported ad
dresses. The President is simply repeat
ing in the South the same exhibition o.
his powers of plain, common sense, ear
nest and thoughtful oratory with which
he so perfectly rounded out and mad
victorious the campaign of 1888.
