With descriptions and fancies glitter
ing with delights and every variety of
spiendor, the stories of Harriet Prescott
Spofford would be charming if their
only merit was their artistic coioring.
Mrs. Spofford began writing when very
young she was born in Calais, Me.
April 8, 1885, but in her youth was
taken by her parents to Newbnryport,
Mass, which city has ever since been
her home. At the age of seventeen she
was graduated at the Pinkerton acad
emy, at Derry, n. H. While
in school at Newburyport her
prize essay on Hamlet attracted
the attention Of Thomas Went
worth Higginson, who became her
friend and counselor. Her father
Joseph n. Prescott, suffered stroke of
paralysis which permanently disabled
him, ard her mother also became a con-

esty and ability to carry them into
successful execution And the
American people has not called
the republican party to power to
serve party purposes, but to serve
their own, to retain the fruits of
its victory. The party must de-
serve them. 1t must hold fast to
its principles, and putting behind
all questions of mere party expe-
dlency, with a view only to patri-
otic purposes, courageously and
conscientiously face every question
OF national policy affecting the
Interests Of tile people. No party
can live on its past. 1t must ade-
quately meet the burning ques-
tions of the time and anticipate the
e3igencies of the future. The
mission Of the republican party,
now possessed Of power in only
one branch Of the government; is
to prevent SO far as possible fur
ther democratic mischief and to
secure for the country and IFS bus
mess interests the rest so much
needed, when restored to power.
With proper conduct on its part,
it will be its mission to lead the
country out of the wilderness into
which democratic stupidity has
plunged it, by such legislation as
shall conform to the conscience,
the intelligence and the lofty par-
poses of the American people.
Several of our yonng men, now
that the election is over, are caper-
ing for some Of the political plums.
J. W. Taylor, our deputy, has
made fine record as an official,
and while there may be some who
do not agree with the writer, it is
common comment that he has not
winked at wrong, but has manfully
and courageously done his duty,
hoping that his past record will
again commend due consideration
from the sheriff-elect.
George w. Baptist and B. Dy-.
son have associated themselves in
partnership and opened mp a nice
and neat lunch room Oh the corner
of Third and Nebraska street,
where one can always find accom-
modation.
The Colored Republican club
held a very interesting meeting
on Thursday evening. Being a
permanent organization they are
getting in trim for the spring cam
paign and also the presidential,
and at each meeting some national
issue is discussed They have be-
came aware Of the fact that to ac-
complish anything they must be
organized, for ''in union there is
strength"

TIE EREPUBEICAN VICTORY
Special to the Iowa State Bystander

Special to the Iowa State Bystander
Sioux Cry, Nov. 10, 1896
The smoke of the battle of ballots
has blown away, and we are amazed
at the magnitude Of onr victory,
for all along the line from Mary
land to Kentucky the good news
has gone forth that the people Of
Ibis country are tired of democratic
mismanagement, and they have
determined to restore to power the
party of protection. But these
victories of '94 and '95 mean some
thing. The victory means the su-
Premacy of the people; the lesson
means popular contempt for the
lncompetency of Grover Glove
lands administration, and victory
and lessons combined means
y responsibility for the victor.
With the democratic party in pos,
session of all the departments of
our government, aud the patron
age incident to the ruling of our
people combined to strengthen it
in its position, and yet never since
the birth of the republican party
dld the party receive such signiti-
cant and enthusiastic endorsement
as it has in recent elections. The
circumstances under which these
results were obtained were excep. /.
tional. It was an off year in our
politics. No president was to be
chosen, only local officers, but the
voters were not off.year voters.
Now call the roll Of States, and
mark how many arrayed them
selves on the side Of the republi-
can cause; states that were reliable
showed their loyalty by increased
majoritics; states heretofore doubt
ful brought eager and willing sup
port, and Kentucky and Maryland
heretofore hostile made haste to
join the resistless march, keeping
step to republican music, and re-
cording themselves under the re-
publican banner. And / think
that the popular verdict OF Nov.
3, 80 is plain. In a word, it
means that the American people
have had enough ofthe democratic
party. To express it more in de-
tail, it means that the American
people favors no party that does
not believe in the American sys-
tenn OF protection, in maintenance
OF the honor and supremacy Of the
American flag, in honest money,
in decent civil service, and in
justice to the nations defenders.
Nor do they believe in any PaSfy,

ses, tbo4 do y "a

Taking bird's-eye view Of both
cases we are led to believe that
the sympathy (s) of Americans for
the Armcnians is merely a mock
ery-a pretention, show-off. We
believe the civilization (white) of
this country could do even worse
than the Mohammedans and feel
proud OF their work. Such is our
belief of the condition Of affairs in
the United States.
Every friend of civil and reli-
gious liberty will rejoice in the
finding Of the Tennessee jury in
favor Of the Adyentists who were
arrested on the charge of Sabbath
breaking. We believe it more Of
a physical necessity than a rcli-
gious duty to rest one day in the
week. One day in the week is
just as holy as all Of the others
and no more so. A crime com
mitted on the Sabbath is just as
bad as one committed on another
date. Religious bigotry has held
sway long enough. The world
needs today religious common
sense; something that cares for the
