pledges and local enactments ofthe times
of Taylor and Fillmore. Who brought
this about or who opposed il? Have you
forgotten who the leaders were and the
following in this breach offaith? lfso,
we name them, Senator Stephen A.
Douglas, his associates or his party-the
Democrats. Then follow the Kansas war
and the effort by Mr.. Pierce and Mr.. Bu-
chanan to force the Lecompton inquity, a
pro-slavery constitution, upon people
the majority Of whom as bona fde resi-
dents were anti-slavery.
These sad treasons eliminated in seces-
sion and the civil war-a piece of history
you have not forgotten.
Which was if that carried on the rebel
lion? Which party sit that to-day de-
fends that rebellion? Which one is then
in the last analysis, responsible for the
fearful loss Of life, the destruction ofval-
ues, the wealth of the nation, the incur
ring of the immense national debt, and
the consequent necessity for taxes TO pay
off that debt and keep the wheels of gov
ernment going? The plain answer rises
in your mind as you read.
Since the restoration of the seeded
States and the frequent supremacy Of the
Democrats in Congress, and for four years
in the Presidency, what has that party
done to advance the country and benefit
the farmer? If anything, or anything
worthy to be named, let some one arise
and state it.
On the other hand, what has the Re-
publican party done for the country !?
1t crushed the rebellion and established
that this is nation. 1t wiped out slav-
cry, the blot on our civilization, the par
alysis of the Souther section. 1t gave us
our currency, the like of which for good
ness we never had before. BY charters
it opened up way to our rich farm lands
and inexhaustible mines of silver and
gold. 1t gave us the free homestead law.
1t has protected American grain, cattle,
horses, pork, lumber, hay, everything
the farmer has to sell, and has done very
much to open to him the markets of the
world.
Now, which of the parties is the friend
of the country and of the farmer? |
leave you, my gentle, patient reader TO
decide; and, having decided, stick to
you- friend. Let your power be felt in
the party counsels, and l will warrant
you your friend will stick to you.

swering these fellows" So spoke Bob In
gersoll in the corridor of the Helena hotel
yesterday. He was referring to some re-
marks made at a meeting of the Methodist
ministers of Chicago. The colonel had
been described thus by one of the minis.
tiers: ~"Ingersoll is a coward. He resigned
from the army in the face of the enemy.
The mention Of his name creates a moral
stencil. ANY man who would advocate the
use of the United States mail service for
the sending of obscene literature to school

500 miles of and his face was invisible.
Now as to hat obscene literature business,

law keeping intidel and free thinking litera-
ture from the mails. Under tho law it is
classed with obscene literature. l am op-
posed to allowing obscene literature in the
mails, but am not in favor of excluding
infidel writings. But you see they accuse
me of favoring allowing obscene literature

THUS far all the legislation in this
country looking toward the preservation
of our forests has proved futile. New
York is losing year by year her great
north woods, and even SO old a state as
Pennsylvania is a greater sufferer from
forest fires this season than at any time
in her history. The legislature of
Idaho last session passed a very strin-
gent law to prevent the carelessness OF
hunters and prospectors, but the Boise
Statesman says it has proved inopera-
tive. The Portland Oregonian says that
Oregon's forests are equally unprotected
and adds:
Germany and France do some things
better than we do in America: One of
them is the preservation OF the forests.
The matter is systematlZed. Foresters,
whose duty it ID to guard against wan
ton Telling or firing, constantly guarc
the timber, and the utmost vigilance is
exercised in order that the o
the country in that respect shall not be
impaired. Until the necessity of such
action is recognized in Oregon all tina
can be done is to keep constantly before
the minds of those who travel or traffic
in the mountains the Importance O
caution in the use Of fire."

JOHN YOUNG BROWN, the democratic
nominee for governor of Kentucky, was
onoe censured by the United States
house Of representatives for a personal
attack on Ben Butler and republican
organs are now striving to make capital
out OF that fact. What Brown said
was that all that was corrupt and con-
temptible in politics was represented by
the word Butlerism. He spoke the
truth and declined to apologize. Hence
the censure OF the republican majority.
Brown is all right.
