Albert Cowgirl, of Dover, deprecates
the spirit that is likely to rule in the
coming campaign and says: 1 read in
this weeks Inder fanciful description
of some prominent Republicans in
which their presumed peculiarities and
ambitions are set forth 1t will be in
order for the Republicans to reply, and
their cannon can be loaded to the muz-
zle. But lOhere WU ii stop We are
at the beginning of very excited politi-
cal campaign, in the which national
questions will form the principal issues.
Since the war, our political campaigns
have been noted for their freedom from
personalitions that broke into the social
relations of life in our town. 1t would
be very sad if these and other reflect
ions of personal peculiaritics should
leave their sting behind them, perhaps
for years after this political contest in
itself has been forgotten. This class of
writing feeds our natural love for scan
dal, but is no argument and can do no
good to the cause thus advocated.

The ElktOn and Masseys RaiIrOad.-
says the Cecil Whig: The passage OF
the Jaw authorizing the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to build road
from Elkton to Masseys, which it pro-
mises to begin within ninety days and
complete within two years, is therefore
no surprise, simply because that com
pany was the single and only source to
which our people reasonably looked
for the hoped for connection. At no
time, has the Baltimore aud Ohio Rail
road Company, so far as we have been
able to ascertain, entertained the idea
either of building or backing a con-
nection between Elktsn and Lamb
sons. The most that can be said is
that friends of the B. & o. hoped it
would finally do so, and become in
this territory a competitor of the
Pennsylvania. But it never has.
Maybe the people i'll the southern
Cecil will get a railroad and maybe
they won't. The proposed ElktOn aud
| Southern, which contemplated com
peting line down the Peninsula, has
been ruled out by the refusal of the
| legislature to transfer the $58,000 to
the new Company. The Pennsylvania
Company retains the control of the APP
| prOpiatiOn. That company has no use
for road through the lower Cecil dis
tricts, save to prevent the entrance OF
rival into peninsula territory. 1t
very frankly volunteered not to ask
for the State appropriation until the
completion of the road, and that is all
that will be forfeited if the road is not
built in two years. OF course it can
promise to begin the construction of d
road within three mouths in order to
keep the appropriation from the Elk
ton & Southern. The simple act OI
lifting a shovelful of dirt will comply
with that requirement. The forfeit OF
the appropriation if the road is not
built to CeciltOn in one year or com
pleted in two wears amounts to little
if anything. The Pennsylvania Com
pany won't bother about crossing that
bridge until it gets to it.-NOrth Eds

no new cases developed from such
seeming carelessness, still there is al

According to the young crowd'

The Chicago Inter Ocean, that
great republican newspaper has not
suffered by the recent era Of financial
depression but has gone right along
adding to its foundation stones-a
large and substantial circulation
with a stride that under the ciroQm,
stances is truly wonderful, At one
time additions to the subscription list
were coming at the rate Of 800 to !, 100
per day for the daily issue, and as
high as 1,5OO per day for the Weekly
Inter Ocean.
The result % this is to place it
easlly at the head of the list Of great
Chicago newspapers. 1t Is certainly
a good, clean family newspaper Of
the highest order.

The populists have chosen the
birthday of Kansas as the date for
the opening of their campaign "for
the further redemption of the state"
The manifesto of to-day bears but a
Gemote-a very, very remote-resem-
blance to the fiery manifestoes of the
early days, and the redemption" to
be worked out now cannot by even
the most skillful political artist be
modelled into anything like the "re-
,demption" of early days.-Star.
But it will be no less a redemption
than that of the sixties, and like that
redemption it will extend to the whole
United States, bearing freedom for
mankind on its wings. The lack OF
such fiery" msnifestoes only proves
the advance made by civilization in
thirty years. The redemption will be
a bloodless one-but no less certain
in its results.

Logan Items.

Logan, in common with other plac-
es, is infested with people who look
with covetous eyes upon their neigh
boris goods. A system of thieving
has been in operation for some time
and thus far the parties have escaped
detection. The store of Dye and
Koontz has been twice entered, but
little was taken, save q small amount
of change in the drawer. A farmer
south of town recently lost a consid-
cradle quantity of sorghum, which
was boldly carried away in wagon
from cellar near the house. Last
Saturday night entrance was effected
into the store of John L. Shulze and
merchandise consisting of ARTICLES for
home consumption, shoes and dry
goods to the amount of some fifty or
sixty dollars. His atoEehoQse had
been previously entered with but
triAing loss. Matters have been kept
quiet in the hope of detecting the
guilty parties, but close watch will
hereafter be kept and the offenders
will be warmly welcomed. "

Tora Down the Flag.


A sensation was caused at Hiawa,
tina, last Monday by the action of a
few members of the local g, A. r.
post in tearing down the flags raised
by the ladies Of the Equal Suffrage
association to commemorate Kansas
Day. The ladies had arranged to
celebrate the day with an entertain.
ment and dance. They hung across
the main street, two large flags hay
ing the regulation stFipes bHt three
yellow stars taking the place Of the
regulation forty-four IN the field
This IS the Regularly adopted emblem
Of the National Suffrage association,
two of the stars standing for the
states Of Wyoming and Colorado,
which grant the Fight Of suffrage to
women, while the third star just
showing above the edge Of the field
is supposed to represent Kansas. A
few local Grand Army men headed
by one of their number who has just
paid in the district court a fine Of
three hundred dollars for violating
the prohibitory law, saw in this a des-
ecration Of the flag, and proceeded to
tear the offending emblem down.
The ladies are very indignant and
public sentiment is with them.

REPUBLICAN objection to the free
coinage ofsilver has been all along a
panicky fear that the silver barons Of
the west would be enriched at the ex-
pense Of the government. Their
numerous propositions to coin none
but American silver, shows how sin
cere they are. Only few days ago
there was introduced into the house
by republican and supported by re-
publlcans to man, an amendment
to the Wilson bill providing for q
high tariff on silver. The people ask
for free coinage in order to secure
more money, to benefit the farmers,
mechanics, and business men. The
republican policy is to tax the people
to pay the silver barons. The demo-
cratic policy to issue bonds and pay
interest on money when the govern
meHt already has the silver in the
treasury aud wants bRt to coin it to
have the money it needs.

LAST Mondav Kansas passed her
33d anniversary Of statehood. The
day was appropriately celebrated in
almost all parts of the state. Within
the abort period Of one-third of a CEN
fury the world has sseR IaqRy changes
and human advancement has been
phenomenal. But nowhere has there
been greater development than in our
own state. The barren waste OF
prairie inhabited by rowing Indians
vast herds oR buffalo has been trans
formed into o fertile regiaR, tho hap
by home Of more than a million peo=
pie. But material progress IS not
all. Kansas leads the van in the in
tellectual and moral progress Of the
world. Her schools are to-day the
pride Of Ampriga, and she is one of
the two states in ths nnioR Which
have prohibitory amendments incor-
porated in their constitutions. The
people of Kansas have always been
aggressive and fearless in carrying
out their political sentiments, In
1861 she led in the revolution against
human slavery, and again in 1890
when the liberties of the people were
threatened Kansas was tho fret to
throw off the yoke Of party prejudice
aud declare for good government.
Throughout the present financial
panic Kansas banks and business en-
terprises have remained firmer than
those Of any other state, and to-day
Kansas securities, notwithstanding all
that has been said to the contrary,
are fully equal to those of any other
state in the Union.
