Professional Etiquette.

The farmers Of Sumner county will
be shocked to learn that Mr.. Rogers
has been guilty Of breach of profess
sional etiquette"
Now, if there is anything on earth
the farmers can't stand it is to have
lawyer make a breach Of profess
ional etiquette.
just think of it, farmers.
Ivan D. Rogers has told the truth
about some of the lawyers Of this
county.
And that is a breach Of professional
etiquette.
The STAY says Ivan isn't slick
enough.
And the Monitor says be shows
bad taste"
Now, gentlemen, farmers, it will
will never do to cleCta man attorney
for this cultured and critical baili-
wick, who makes a vulgar display of
bad taste, and who actually in def
ance Of legal precedents tells the
truth and ruthlesSly tramples on eti-
Quette.
These things must be carefully
avoided.
Why, this man Rogers may even go
so far in his depravity as to eat pie
with a knife or drink tea from a Sau-
Ger.
He is certainly of vulgar mould, of
the earth, earthly.
Branaman, the banker, has watched
Rogers eat in fashionable restaurant
of this city, and may be at this mo-
ment preparing a description of his
manners at table that would shock
the 400 worse than a fOdder-shOCk.
Why, this man Rogers actually
tucks napkil in his collar and eats
soup with spoon.
Taste and professional etiquette"
with all their time-hOnOred and tobGC-
cO-Stained whiSkers are driven to the
Woods, and tod to root hog or take
the "hog train" south.
This nan Rogers may also be
guilty of using language more forcible
than elegant-and all the grammarS
a nd rhetOrics of the world pronounce
that bad taste.
This had taste" Is in manner con-
tagiOus.
The republican leaders of this coun-
ty have had a seal brown Shiny bad
taste in their mouths ever since
Rogers wrote his letter.
They are bilious.
The exposure was too much for
them. They have chills and fever
and bellyache.
No: it would never do to elect this
man.
The republicans don't like him.
Society leaders pronounce MIN bash
full and awkward.
The profession" considers him
breachy-and you know the DrOfesh
is boss of affairs in this county.
It won't do to elect a man to office
without consulting the lawyers.
Ask the lawyers what you shall dc
in this matter-and then do as you
please.

If Christ had come to Chicago and
attended the exercises Tuesday night
at the formal opening of the new ar
mOry OF the First regiment, Illinois

said and done when Col. II. L. Turner
uttered the following basphomy:
THE soldiers whistling bullet has

The Rev. DR.. Thomas, pastor of the
Peoples church God save the mark
chaplain Of the regiment and sO-called
disciple Of the son of God, invoked
the divine blessing on this new bastiIe
of plutOcracy and1he speech of Col
Turner. Would not he who pro-
claimed the sermon on the mount
have diSOwned DR.. Thomas as a dis

claiming that he and his uniformed
miniOnS Of brutality are GOd-ap-
pointed instruments to bring to
earth's children the message Of peace

Be sure you know what you are
about,
The destiny of this great state and
nation depends upon the kind Of men
you select to transact public business.
Your vote should count as much as
any other mans vote.
This has been campaign marked
by villifcatlon and abuse upon the
part Of the republican leaders.
The devil himself would be ashamed
to be found in such company as the
gamblers and thugs who have led the
republican campaign,
By sensational and depraved meth
DDS, they have sought to detract the
minds of the people from the great
moral and business issues of the day.
They have thrown mud right and
left.
They will continue to do so until
election day.
Their papers this week will be filled
with sensations, lying and abusive ep-
ithets, great disclosures" and all
that.
The wise voter willSnOt consider for
a moment stories gotten up on the eve
of election.
It IS a favorite method of old party
politicians to spring" some horrible
outrage" just when the people have
made up their minds how they intend
to vote.
They prepare the rottenest carrlon
for their last ghOulish feast.
They will howl and screech and
pick their teeth with dead mems
bones.
But the honest voter believes that
all the evidence should re in before
the instructions are given the jury.
Evidence that would be accepted
in a court of real justice the republi-
cans have offered none.
There will be no opportunity given
the people to investigate the sensa-
tions they will expose" on election
day.
Our government is too much in the
hands of politicians and not enough in
the hands Of the people.
The VOICE believes the people can
be trusted if the buncO politicians
were kicked out of the councils.
You can vote them out.
1t is your duty.
You are responsible for your part in
the affairs of the country.
Are you studying what is for the
best good of the people?
Or are you Stufing your mind with
the vile campaign lies, which the pol
iticians use to excite people and make
fools of them?
Don't be a mud-Sucker
Be a man, a coed citizen, and look
out for your own interests.
Don't believe anything without the
testimony of honest men.
Consider yourself one of the rulers
of this land.
Don't cringe nor tOady.
On the other hand don't whoOp mol
boast, nor act thecOnfOunded fool,
There have been three months tC
bring out all the evidence and discuss
the merits of the case.
You have a right to your own opin
ion on all subjects before the people
And you have a right to demand
proof of all assertions made against
the integrity of other citizens.
If you have not carefully considered
the situation, you can blame nObod!
but yourself if you make mistake.

Foes to the Death.
Major FergnSon is 10 twin.


He never was; but he wishes now
that he had at least been a little more
chummy to the democrats in the
past.
But he hated them so.
He never dreamed of asking any ia.
vOrs Of them.
He thought the republicans had a
dead cinch on eternal majority in
Kansas.
And he loved to sneer at the imper,
tinent pretensiOnS Of the democrats.
He considered them as NANCY ours,
unfit to sleep in the same township
with the Major.
In 1891, when the Pops were Just
beginning to break ground in the new
field, they were endowed with cOnsid-
cradle Of what is commonly called
"nerve."
They were even cheeky enough in
this county to ask Major Ferguson,
who was at that time chairman Of the
republican central committee, to join
with the democrats aud POpulists in
Joint discussion of the issues of the
day.
But the Major answered in stilted

There was gloom in the hearts of the
Lynchburg rootets last night Abous 8
dozen OF them came up from the Hill
City in tho afternoon to see their pets
down the homo boys but they were
doomed 10 disappointment.
The most refreshing thing about the
game was the way in which the Roa-
noke boys hit the ball, and the most
disgusting was the mouth work Of Knox
Maginnis again distinguished himself
by pulling down Jobes apparently safe
three Dagger after a hard run, and
Meade played left field to the queens
taste. He also had his batting clothes
on and made three hits Cavauaugh led
In batting with two doubles and single.
His field work was also excellent.
Daniel started in to catch but he has
not recovered from the injury he re-
ceived on the Fourth OF July, and he
was replaced by O'Hagsn in the second
inning, Fitznorris going to right field.
Mccoy agsin pitched winning ball He
held tho Lynchburg batters down to six
hits, two Of which were scratches.
Roanoke opened up the game in a
lively manner. O'Hagau was given a
base on balls, Meade and Crockett 10 ade
singles and Cavanaugh a two Dagger.
These, together with passed bail, NOTED
three runs. Another was added in the
third on Csvanaugh's base on balls and
hits by Daniel and Mccoy.
In the fourth O'Hagan, Meade and
Crockett hit safely and CavaDaugh lined
out another two Dagger. Tho result was
three moro runs for Roanoke. In the
fifth base on balls and errors by Knox
and Webster sent Froch across the plate.
Roanokc's last two runs were mado in
the seventh on singles by Frech and
Meade and McKenna's error.
Lynchburg made their runs in tho
first ana third innings. In the latter
Knox made two-base hir, and Cleve
followed with z homo yum After that
but two hits were made off Mccoy.

APPLICATION FOR A MANDAmUs.

Judge Horsley Reserved His Decision on
This Point in tho Contested Election Case.
The application of Messrs. Pattie and
Hartwell for a wri OF mandamus to com
pei the board of lection commissioners
to count and correct the election re-
turns in the Third ward and to compel
the clerk of the Hastings Court to issue
certificates of election in accordance
with that result, came up in the Hust-
ings Court before Judge Horsley, of
Nelson county, who had been reques ted
to hear the case, yesterday afternoon at
5 o'clock.
Judge Horsley arrived in the CITY at
4:20 o'clock and proceeded to the circuit
! court room, whore the counsel on both
had assem- bled. Harvey II. Hall, of the
law firm of Hansbrough &c Hall, read
the application for mandamus and
the question arose, suggested by a re-
mark OF the court, as to whether the ap-
plication should be considered now or
whether it should lie over until July
16, when the contested election case
proper will be heard
Counsel for Messrs. Gooch and PAYNE
argued that, inasmuch as the petition
for mandamus and the prayer and allie
CATION in the contested election case
were almost identical and involved tho
same evidence and argument and had
the same end in view, it would be i'm
proper to hear the application for a
m andamus now, thus giving only a par
tial hearing to the case and giving room
for the decision rendered now to be re-
gersed July l6
Counsel for the petitioners claimed
that mandamus was the only remedy
for the Republican candidates, and the
applica ion and the contested election
case were entirely separate and distinct,
and were brought into court by different
parties.
Judge Hershey took the papers in the
Gaze and adjourned court until this
morning, when he will decide whether
the application will be considered to-
day or July l6. when the contested
election cases will be tried. Should the
application be heard, the mbents
will demur to the application, and the
fight will practically be on the de.
murrer.
In either event the whole day will
probably be occupied in the matter.
