How Is 1T that an old union soldier
who served through the war was the
savior of his country, the very pink of
perfection and exemplificatiOn of patri-
otism so long as he voted the republic
can ticket, but becomes an anarchist,
calamityite, repudiator, rebel SYM
pathizer, destroyer of the Union" and
all that the moment he ceases to vote the
republican ticket? The republican
press charges that the change takes
place: will the republican press please
explain HOW such thing can be? Is
the man not to have the same credit
for his bravery and his patriotism? Or
does he eliminate all such elements
from bis character by simply believing
that he has the same right to change
his opinions and his vote that is pos
sessed by other American citizens?

TWENTY years ago the 9th of thi

TWENTY years ago the 9Th of this
month, the town site of Great Bend
was proved up on, and the organization
of the city established. Where to-day
there are handsome substantial blocks
of stone and brick buildings, broad
streets we'll graded, and lined with
magnificent trees surrounding elegant
residences; where the electric, tele-
phone and telegraph wires interlace
and form net work overhead, twenty
years ago there was but vast stretch
Of buffalo grass, bare, sandy breaks and
unbroken sameness. It was the heart
of the ''Grest American Desert" where
it was supposed that only the buffalo
and the wild horse, the coyote and
antelope could find sustenance. Will
twenty years more note as great
changes? Will another score of sum-
mer suns awake to life more beautiful
and useful samples of kind Natures
works than now adorn our streets and
beautify our homes? Will another
twenty years of enterprise and vim
and western push be exemplified in
grander buildings, greater business in
terests and more solid industries? The
babe who was yesterday ushered into
life, in twenty more years will be the
coming man, to whom we of today who
are now in the prime of life, will look
to carry out our plans. And yet, twenty
years is but short time, when meas
ured by our experiences, our hopes and
their fruitions.

p. B. MAxoN, of Emporia, was in
the city last Tuesday, and addressed
the farmers in the matter of shipping
grain and all farm products direct 10
the markets without the Intervention
OF the local dealer. His argument was
logical, and doubtless if the farmers of
the county, irrespective of politics,
would go in together and ship over one
route, and coEsign their products to
one house, they could have the advan-
tage OF much in the way of rebates or
reduced freights that now go to the
local buyer or dealer. We understand
the plan is to invite or extend the privi-
ieges OF shipping to any and all farmers,
and the greater amount of business
that is thrown in one direction, the
more concessions could be got in the
way Of reduced freights.

election to discuss State affairs, and
advise the next Legislature what TO
do in the way Of ren,cdying bad laws.
All the same don't forget, we need q
new constitution, and it will require
constitutional con vention to give it
to us. State sentiment in regard to
the poll tax qualification for voters,
the convict lease question and other
important matters, is so chrystalized
that all of them would be acted upon

Deafness Cant be Uured

by local applications, as theyo cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is anly one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the muscous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out, and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by TAX

Why Southern Farmers Should Vote
Against Harrison.

Because he has favored tariff legisla-
ton which has had a tendency to re-
duce the markets for agricultural pro-
ducts. Although thero has been a
great abundance in this country and a
famine abroad, the value Of the agri-
cultural products exported in 1891
was $642,751,3l4, while in 1881 it was
$730,394,943, or nearly $lO0,O00,000
more. On the other hand, our ex-
ports of manufactures have nearly
doubled in that time, so that a protec-
tive tariff, such as Mr.. Harrison favors,
cuts down the profits Of the farmers
and restricts their market. Because
he fayors the infamous force bill.
For these and many other reasons,
no Southern farmer can afford to vote
for Mr.. Harrison, or his "aider, mate
rialy, indirectly" Mr.. Weaver.
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1892-10-08
IS THE FORCE BILL DEAD'

Below is an article from a recent
number of the National Republican,
of Washington Cd. c. an ardent sup
porter Of President Harrison:
With the Lodge National Election
law IN full force over the South and
various Democratic stronghOlds up
North, we may confidently look for a
different state Of political affairs than
now exists. New York city will then
return several more Republican Con
gresham than at present, while more
than twenty negro representatives
from the South will render the Re
publican control Of the future Con-
gress absolutely safe and secure.
Heavy taxes should he laid upon
the property of the whites to develop
and extent the public school system
of those States, Separate schools for
the two races should be abolished,
and the plan Of bringing the youth
of both cOIOrs into close and equal
relation iu sch, OILS and churches CIV
en- fair trial, as one Of the most po-
tent elements 10 break down the detest-
able bourbonism of the South.
The state laws against the inter-mar
riage of the races should be repealed,
and any discrimination against the
blacks in the matter of learning trades
or obtaining employment should be a
criminal offense, while the colorcd
mans rights to hold office should be
sacredly protected and recognized, a
few years of this policy would solve
the race problem satisfactorily.
With a castiron force bill in force,
we should, in a few years, reach either
the condition overshadowed and de-
sired By the National Republican, or
a bloody revolution.
Wrestling control Of their elections
from the people at home would be
the first step in the short march to a
centralized despotism.
1t is proposed 10y the Republicans,
led by president Harrison, to put the
negro on top of the white man in the
South. The first step is to be the
abolition of free elections, by turning
them over to Federal emissaries, not
responsible to the people. The rest
will follow logically and consistently.
In Arkansas we have a Republican
party demanding force legislation.
Let the white men Of Arkansas
reat these miserable conspiraters
against the peoples liberties to an
overwhelming defeat next Monday
