AsHTABULA.

We are all very glad to see Mrs. An.
ME Fancher back to her old place again
in Ashtabula. She has almost recover.
ed from her long and severe sickness
while in Valley City. She is still very
weak but on Il fair way to her usual
health.
We had two narrow escapes from
frost here Friday and Saturday nights,
but smudges early in the morning and
heavy fog after sunrise saved us. /
wont say we escaped it entirely because
there is some spots in our fields that
shows the effects of the frost, bnt not
enough to hinder us from getting 50. 90
per bushel. which l au. looking
for.
Now there is way for the rich farm
er to get richer this fall, all they have
to do is to- hold their wheat. But what
about the poor and wretched, will you
please give him chance or will you
chase him off as soon us he get thresh-
ed and compel him to sell his wheat
for the usual SOC or 80c per bushel
when he could get twice or three times
that much by giving him chance, and
thus be able to pay two or three deLts
where otherwise he only could pay one.
Why not the merchant, the machine
agent or company or any creditor con-
fine and extend tho notes two or three
months, because the price of wheat
is bound to come up. Now don't any
of you make selfish pig of yourselves
just because you have the farmer by
the "knapp Of the neck" and clean h,m
out just this time while we have an op.
portunity and because yon think this
is your chance.
When thanksgiving day comes
around don't 60 and get up = dance
and drink and get drunk, but get right
down and thank God for such rich
harvest as we can look for this year.
Don't come and tell me you have
nothing to be thankful for, when your
grainery is full of grain this fall, now
do you hear!
Some of our farmers had prepared
themselves with smudgcs on the north
and west sides of their field last Satur-
day night, but the current in the air
changed to the south and consequently
got left.
Robert Kunze rushed out early Sun
day morning his eyes half open felt
first of the air, then the ground, he felt
his fingers slip like on ice, he rushed
for dear life to the north of his field,
rush a few matches out Of his pocket
and rushed blaze under his smudges,
but alas, the smoke went the wrong
way and kept the frost off the grass on
somebody elses land, hut Rob didn't
rush home, he only looked back at the
smoke and said something

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
ED BUTSTILL I'm
THE RING.

Last Saturday afternoon a special
telegram was sent to Agent Cowen say
ing that n frost was predicted by the
weather bureau for North Dakota and
to spread the report among farmers so
that thew could prepare smudges
and do what they could to guard
against frost. The prediction was
true and the state generally was visited
by frost. though it was nothing like
the frost of 1888 and in fact in some
localities no frost is reported. In
Griggs county reports are very con-
ficting. At Willow it is said that
there was no frost to hurt, also at Jes-
sic, Hannaford and Helena, while
around Cooperstown it froze pretty
hard. The COURIER has tried to find
out the amount of damage done but
has failed and 1t will not in ull pobab,l.
ity be found out until the grain is
tlrreslled. In this county 1t is estimated
that one.fourth of the grain was in the
shock and that at least another one
fourth was ripe, SO that fifty per cent.
of the crop will not be hurt to any
great extent. OF the other fifty per
cent. one fourth was probably nearly
ripe and the balance quite green, so
that it will be seen that it is hard to ar
rive at correct estimation. However,
there will he lots of good grain market
ed at this point and the grain that is
badly damaged can be saved fer seed.
The majority of the grain was so far
advanced compared with 1888 that the
frost did not damage it like it did in
that year. Below we give the report
from the Argus from all over the
state:
The following are reports furnished
by the Western Union.

places.

THE KANSAS JUDICIARY.

In 1892 there will be eight judges Of
the district court to be elected in Kan
sas, and the following list shows the
number Of the district, the name Of the
present incumbent, with his residence:
/. Robert Crozier, LIeavsnworth.
2. Robert NJ. Eaton, Atchison.
8. John Guthrie, Topeka.
A. A. W. Benson, Ottawa.
5. Charles B. Graves, Emporia.
IL. F. W. Sturges, Emporis.
13. NJ. G. Troup, Winfield.
IA. W. G.. EastlAnd, Russell.
The above named eight judges are
Republicans, with the exception of Judge
Eaton. Associate Justice D. M. Valen-
tine, Of the supreme court Of the state,
will have been twenty-four years on the
bench In January, 1893, and in 1892 his
successor in office will be elected.

sounded the alarm TO their employees,
saying that If frelghts were reduced the
wages Of employees would be reduced
also. This, of course, alarmed the train
men, and they sent In a remonstrance
against the bill; and not only this, but
they sent q Legislative committee to lob
by the railroad committee. They argued,
begged and threatened, but 1t did no
good, as the railroad committee was
clearly OF the opinion that che bill was
just and in harmony with the best inter
ests of the state. William Mitchell, O
member Of the railroad employees legis-
lstive committee, came to me personally
and delivered an ultimstum. He SAID
that he was at the head Of 10000 railroad
men who would oppose the Peoples par
ty in the future II we passed this bill.
But the bill passed the House, every Re-
publican voting against It. Now comes
the conspiracy. The railroad men said
to the Senate: "YOur party has been
beaten at the polls and your future as
politicians looks dark, but we have q
proposition to make you. We have 40
600 votes at our command; if you win
kill the freight bill passed by them
damned grsngers every vote Of that 40
will be cast for the Republican party"
The Senate killed the bill, and before
that legislature adjourned, Hamilton and
Grouse, two members of the railraad en-
ployes' legislative committee, were writ
ing letters through the press advising
the railroad employees to vote with the
Republican party In the future. And
following up the general plan of
action the governor and executive cOun-
Gil elected Mitchell, the other member of
the railroad employees legislative COM
mittee, railroad commissioners. II this is
not clear case Of reciprocity, then we
do not understand the meaning Of the
word. The only compensating feature
of this whole matter Ia that the Republl-
can farmers and business men who pay
the outrageous frelghts In Kansas will be
made to realize the fruits Of keeping a
lot of politicians In the Kansas Senate.

CONCERNING SOME RAILROAD LEGISLA-
TION,

In speaking OF the recent election you
fail to notice one Of the most important
factors in the mongrel mass which has
combined to down the Peoples party.
AS chairman Of the House committee on
railroads last session, I thlnk l can give
the people of Kansas little light on the
matter of the combining of the ''conserv-
atlve forces" to defeat the populiSt. /
want to say right here that this combina-
ton has, in part, at least, been made at
cost Of honor, legislative dignity, and, as
usual, at the expense of the wealth pro-
ducers of Kansas. say this not from
any partisan spirit, for j am not bitter
partisan, never have been, never expect
to be. do not believe that all of the
goodness belongs to any one political
party. The fact that q man belongs 20
this or that political party does not make
him either a good or bad man. be-
leve the masses Of all parties are honest,
for what motive can they have for being
otherwise? On the other hand believe
that most all men who are politicians in
the common acceptation of the term are
looking after their own interests rather
than the interests of the people. Self
interest, self-aggrandizement, are and
have been for several years, the great
motive power behind the politicians who
have filed our legislative halls. To this
one cause do l attribute most all of that
class of legislation which has built up
corporations at the expense Of the people
generally. Why? Simply because the
corporations have been in q position to
pay for the services Of politicians, and In
consequence of this one fact the corpora
tions have had nearly al of the legisla-
tion in the United States for the last
quarter of century. This Is not true Of
national legislation alone, but extends
down through state and municipal affairs
until the very name politician" Is q
stencil in the nostrils of honesty.
My position last winter as chairman Of
the House committee on railroads en-
abled me to be an eye witness to one Of
the most bare faced cases Of political in
fidelity perhaps ever practiced by any
political party in this or any other state,
and while the mass of the party is inno-
cent, the odium attaches to the very
name Republican"
AS every one knows who remembers
anything about the House railroad COM
mittee,''i 1t was very careful to avoid any
thing that smacked of radicallsm. 1t
opposed every radical measure that came
before 1t, and was 80 very conservative
that even the Topeka Capital commend
ed its course. 1t was evident from the
very first, to anyone who cared to know,
that the railroad committee was very
careful of the interests of the railroads
and opposed all radical measures and all
little legislation that would tend to an
noy without doing any good. l believe
no man knowing anything Of the actions
of the committee will dispute this state
ment.
But we did report bill that passed
the House (H. B. 743) for the regulation
of freight rates on railroads In Kansas.
This bill was In entire harmony with the
platform of the Republican party. Their
platform demanded the election Of the
railroad commissioners by vote Of the
