has ever known, and, providing the
conditions under which this pros
perity has been brought about are
not disturbed by free-trade and free
silver legislation, there is no hint or
suggestion that reversal will set in,
The Philadelphia "North Amer
lean" suggests that the workingman
compare his condition now with that
of the period when President Nc
Kinley entered Office; let him note
that protection was given him by a
Republican Congress, and that the
gold standard has been maintained
by the Republican administration.
Then let him decide, for he will have
to in the next national campaign,
whether he would prefer free silver
and free trade.

Juoicial Convention

The Republicans of Neosho county
met at Erie last Monday in delegate
convention and elected 20 delegates to
the judicial convention which meets
in Chanute, June Is, to nominate a
Judge of the 18th Dist,
The convention opened up for bus
mess at 1880 sharp and elected L. B.
Keifer chairman and Chas. Dennison
secretary. The temporary organiz-
alton was made permanent. On ac-
count of the unanmity prevailing the
convention dispensed with the usual
committees
A Committee consisting Of j. j.
Hurt, w. T. DuttOn and Harvey
Lowrance were asked to appOrtion the
20 delegates among the various town
ships and wards. While this commit
tee was doing its work the convention
was entertained by some very well
chosen remarks by Judge Stillwell.
The committee reporting, delega ties
were selected as follows:
Grant-O. N. Heron.
Big Creeks S. Wheatley.
Tioga-J f. Plummer.
Chanute-Flrst ward, W. p. Wright;
Second ward, w. II. Johnson; Third
ward. John Terrill; Fourth W ard G. A
Cox and j. J. Hurt.
CanYile-Chas. Foetish
Erie-H. Lodge and O. Denious.
Walnut Groves. r. Adamson.
Missiou-J. n, Cutler,
Centerville.-A Myers.
Chetopa-H. G. Lowrlnce and John
Sperry.
ShiIo--G w. Hizey,
LadOre-C. N. Bacon.
LincOln-Logan Powers.
Delegate at large, r. n. Allen.
The resolutions adopted by the COM
mittee are as follows:
WHEREAS, Our personal esteem for
Judge l.. Stillwell as a fellow citizen
and neighbor and our implicit conf
dence in his special equipment of the
mind, and heart attachments for
position of Judge, have been strength
ened and confirmed by The righteous
ness and justice Of his decisions for the
last fifteen years, as Judge of this dis
triCt, therefore be it resolyed
FIRST: That the Republicans of Nee
sho-Co., renew with emphasis for the
fifth time, their endorsement of the
ability and special qualifications of
Judge Stillwel for the position Of
Judge of the Seventh Judicial Dist, of
Kansas and believing his decisions to
have been the nearest possible in har-
mony with law and justice, we most
heartily commend him as an honest
and upright Judge loved for his per
sonal honor and purity of character,
respected for his culture and legal at
tanments and honored by the citizens
as well as by the legal profession Of
the state, for the correctness and JUS
tice of his decisions. We the refo.e ask
the PEOPLE to accept no untried man
as an EXPERIMENT but TO renominate
Judge Stillwell an ineorruptibe, exper-
fenced iuriSt, unbiased by political af-
tiliations, or personal friendships.
SECOND. The delegates of this con
vention are hereby instructed to vote
and use all honorable measures to Sc
cure the denomination of Judge L.
Stillwell for Judge of this Judicial
district for the ensuing term

SENATOR PETER

CONE of the papers seem to be
, making quite little buster
over the fact that Senator PETER has
come back into the Republican
fold. No use of so much fuss about
a little matter like that, gentlemen.
The Republican party holds out its
arms to embrace all repentant sin
ners:
"And while the lamp holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return"
If a few more of the really intel
ligent Pops of the country would but
stop to consider their course for the
last few years and realize, as they
must, how badly deluded they have
been, and would say, "Here, boys,
l am tired of this fooliohness and
heartily ashamed of the company l
havs been keeping, take me back in
to the fold again, and l will try by
my future good conduct to atone
for my misdeeds of the past, they
would be cheerfully taken in on pro-
baton till such time as the party
could be convinced of the sincerity
of their conversion, and then be re-
stored to full fellowship.

Lines Inspired by Dealing With
Dishonest Men
and free.traC

Some folks like and some hate
With perfect detestation;
like the just and hate the knayes
OF every name and Nation.
like to see handsome church
With neat but modest steeple,
pure devoted humble priest,
A good and honest people.
l love to see good honest folks
To God their homage paying,
But hate, yes hate, the very sound
Of hypocrits praying.
Ihate all snakes and rats and skunks
And men that retail whisky,
Aud dislike men that drink so much
That they get wild and risky.
l like to grasp an honest hand
Made hard by useful labor,
But hate lazy, swindling knave,
That robs er cheats neighbor.
think it right if any man
gets rich by honest dealing,
But to deceive or cheat In trade
think is bad as stealing.
l think when honest people die
The Lord will not forsake them,
But when villains cease to breathe
think the devil takes them.

q hood home. We LETT tina
country with our parents
ICldEoin the winter of '65, anc
have only been back once since tina
time, for short visit in the summer
of II.
We notice many names in the
locals and ads. that sound familiar,
yet seem strange, and we wonder il
they are the boys we played
hockey with in the bright sunny
days, or the sons of those boys.
The flight of years has wrought
many changes, and were we in that
country now we would be stranger
in strange land. The boys and
girls with whom we used to coast
down the steep hillside by the
schoolhouse, summer and winter,
are now past middle life, and we
would not recognize them nor they
us. should we meet. The whole face
of that country has changed; the
heavy forests have been cleared
away and not even the stumps are
there to show where once those
magnificent oaks and sugar naples
lowered; the mud roads have given
place to the graveled driveways, and
the old worm fence has been super
coded by the barbed wire, The old
fashioned fireplace with its big back
log and generous supply of hickory
wood, which used to furnish both
heat aud light for the sports of
childhood in the long winter even
ings, has been walled up and its
place taken by the modern coal
stove.
Hundreds of our readers who left
their old homes in the East in their
younger days and came West, re-
naming away long series of years
without returning, can fully appre-
ciate these reaections-especially
those who in later life make visit
to the old home. We have ever no.
ticed tinge of sadness upon their
return in relating the pleasures of
their visit. They all say: "Things
are not like they used to be; found
SO many changes had taken place I
scarcely knew myself, and almost
wish l had not gone"
The visions, thoughts and scenes
of youth are indehbly fixed on the
mind ami they are the last ones to
fade when forgetfulness of age APP
proaches.
Then, dear friends, don't fret
over your inability to visit the old
home. The old home exists no
longer as you knew it, save in your
loving remembrance; the gay and
thoughtless days of childhood are
long since over, and they, with the
scenes with which they were associ-
ated, can only live in memory; your
home, your interests, your life, is
in Kansas and the West.
No brighter suns shine anywhere.
No cooler breezes blow
No better people live on earth
To make life pleasant here below.
And in ninety nine cases out of a
hundred you are better situated
than you would be in the old home
locality. Let the old scenes live
only as a Renaissance of youth and
your energies 60 forth to make of
your Western home the ideal which
youthful visions pictured.
