Fine Cattle Sold.

The sale of high grade Shorthorns
at John Taylor's big farm Tuesday
was not well attended owing to the
rains of the previous night having
made the roads almost impossible.
The stock offered, 80 head of young
bulls, was all sold, however. The
largest purchaser was j. B. Case Of
Abilene who took q head at S25 each.
Two were sold at 1872 each. They
were fine stock and the purchasers
may well feel proud of their property.
Mr.. Taylor's splendid farm with its
large buildings and complete arrange
ments was the admiration Of every
visitor.

the services Of one Of the best carriage
painters In the State and is prepared
to paint carriages, wagons, etc, on
short notice in the most approved

The Abilene people guarantee us
one hundred children for the Model
Department, hence it will be held

department will be divided into
four rooms in charge Of efficient
teachers, each with an additional
assistant, and the whole will be d.

The children will have the kindest
attention and will greatly enjoy it.
Children from other parts Of the

a month. May we not enroll fifty
from the district schools?

hart. Under the new plan, voted
by the teachers, we dispense with
the conductor, the oversight being
wholly in the hands Of the county
superintendent. Thus we save the
salary Of one man and can expend
that much more on lectures. At
the close Of the Normal, each teacher
who does his duty in observing and
taking notes will have a full course
Of study for district schools in his
own handwriting and will know
when each topic should be taken up
and how to do it. We will devote
most Of our attention to methods.
However, academic work will be ar.

benefit of those who feel the need Of
it. The following is suggestive

posed plan:

REPUBLICAN PATRIOTISM.

TcW SpSoChOS, II ehJ'
in the halls of Congress have
caused more comment than the ad-
dress of Senator Ed Wolcott on
the Monroe doctrine.
1t is certainly significant that
one of the representatives Of the
Centennial State should take trip
across the waters to dispose OF
mines at a profit of some thous-
ands per cent and afterwards es-
pouse the cause of our Cousin
Jacks, and this in the shadow OF
the Rockies; the home of the en-
blematlo bird of freedom, the Am
erican eagle. For years Arizona
has been accustomed to regard
Colorado as the acme of wisdom
and progress; and in the struggle
for the reinstatement of the white
metal, the States and Territories
opposed to British domination
have looked upon Colorado as the
leader in the great fight which is
being waged against the Roths
childs, and the syndicate of for
eign bankers who, like vampiers,
are drawing the life blood from
the American republic.
But what is the world to think
or expect when the senior Senator
of Colorado openly announsed thai
| he thanks God he is of the race
British and that the position o
the United States is not tenable
that he (Wolcott,) has shown tt
Congress the unsoundness of th,
, Monroe doctrine; that war will
, only be averted because of Britlsl
magnanimity, and that caution
should be the watchword of tn
American Congress because tn
r American people are not only will
5 ing, but anxious to engage in MOI
tai combat with our natural enem,
: England.
Since 1859 and go has any on
t had the assurance to make use o
as unpatriotic utterances as the fol
lowing comment of Senator VOL
colts on the Monroe doctrine?
at is and ever has been withou
recognition by other countries, ant
has always been refused the ap
proval Of Congress. Not only wa
the Monroe doctrine the direct out
come Of English suggestion, but il
all the wars for independence
! fought in swamps and jungels ant
in the fever infested districts o
: these tropical provinces Of Soutl
America, and in the long struggl,
for liberty which drenched The
Spanish colonies in America will
the blood of patriots, British vol
unteers fought ever in the from
of battle. Without Great Brltian's
aid Venezuela might not now be
Free"
Seventy miles from Denver is
the beautiful little English city OF
Colorado Springs, better known as
'little London" where the horses
tails are all short and the mems
ears long. Is it possible that this
English influence (?) has kept ex-
tending until, like tidal wave. it
has swept over the banks of Cherry
creek and engulfed Wolcott and
other Republican leaders, drown
ing all feelings of nationallsm and
honor, and leaving them stranded
on the bar of British venality.
The people of Colorado owe t.
themselves and to the friends of
silver and the Republic, to repudi-
ate the words of this demagouge
and not let her Britanic majesty
labor under the delusion that she
has made a bloodless conquest of
the brightest star that glimmers
with silver simmer in conslel !
