In reply to an opinion expressed in
a recent issue of the Teller, wish to
state that the removal of the tie place
around the courthouse square will
result in injury to the trade of the
city of Lancaster. AS far as the
hygiene of the matter is concerned it
can be tested by the city council. Let
the mayor and each member of the
city council and each officer of the
health department. place hitching
posts along the line of their front
yards and encourage the countrywide
pie to hitch their teams there. If they
prefer the healthfulness of that to the
offal in front Of their business places
where the width of the street in
tervenes, which the city is more likely
to keep clean, then let the rail around
the courtyard be removed.
If suitable square can be found for
the use of the general public, then
establish that for teams, otherwise
leave the tying place alone, or rather
repair it.so it will be safe. I prefer the

Mr.. Belz may be we'll pleased to
have a place for his customers to tie.
but does Mrs. Knoble, the Nathans,
McBriens and Philips feel jubilant
over the change? Would Schreiners
prefer to tie in front of their yard or
in front of their store? It is con-
venient for merchants around the
square to have this rail to tie to and
many the time they have assisted
ladies in caring for teams tied there,
but they will not be able to spare the
time to drive all over town to look
after customers teams. Ky.

He denounced the promoter of the

machine ever known in the state.
He designated it as a double action,
triple expansion, selflubricating ma

Chairman w. A. Johnson of the

was the most eloquent ever heard

did not like to mar the grand adj

brought down the house by his re-

From Indian Territory.

The following extract from
a letter written by w. J. Weir to
friend here may be of interest to
his many friends in a political way
in this section. He states:
''Since my residence of nearly
year in this territory I have be-
come firm believer in the party
and think every Republican should
vote the straight Republican ticket
in Wisconsin. If Grant county Re-
publicans could become residents of
this county for short time they
would surely vote that way. Here
are few reasons for such belief.
The population Of this territory is
composed principally of people who
came in here from the south
mainly Texas, but also from Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas
and other southern states all strict
ly Democrats, and in the inland
towns they openly boast that they
have not forgotten the Civil war
and never will A few days ago
met man with whom I was some
what acquainted and he uplifted the
lapel Of his coat and showed me
Roosevelt button and stated that he
dared not wear it openly or he would
likely receive knife in his ribs
some dark night. He also said that
if the south could control this good
government of ours there would
be trouble. I made the remark to
some Texas men that very often in
Wisconsin Republicans displayed
their independence by voting for a
Democrat, when they laughed at
me and said we must certainly be
DIN fools. Now | think the best
way to treat such people is to vote
the straight Republican ticket

"Simply HE'LL"

Rufus Choate. of the most conservative
Northern men of the time to the slavery aues-
ton, is said to have expressed the opinion as
the result of careful study, that he had no
reason to think that the industrial condition of
the slave. all things considered. was worse than
that Of the laboring population in most European
countries, but that for the colored woman the
condition of slavery was simply hell" The
race of mixed blood in America is the outcome
of that condition; and that the coored race has
emerged from such subjueaton into the compare
lively decent moral condition which IL now
holds proves conclusively that il is human in its
virtues we'll in its sins. This say as one
who has been for nearly ten years of q
school for freedmen in the heart of the Southern
black district. The simple fact. admitted by all
candid Southern and women. that no
charges of immortality ever brought against
the graduates of these schools and that wherever
they go they the center of a healthy in
fuence is sufficient proof that what the whole
Southern region needs is to deal with the negro
no longer as outcasts, but as men and
men who brought some odium themselves for
a time by advocating. during President Hayes's
administration. the final withdrawal OF the ma
tional troops from Southern States with view
to trusting them to their honor.-T. w.

Missouri paper fretfully declares that
one-half the time and energy spent by the
Republican newspapers of Missouri during
the last two years in magnifying the work
and worth of Dir. Folk. if given where they
belonged-to the Republican cause-would
have made success easy for the Republicans
in the State this year. To this the Kansas
City Journal, one of the strongest of Re
publican papers, makes forcble response
that while this may be true the fact re-
mains that though the Republican press of
the State has been CALAMITY fighting it's
party's battles, in season and out of sea-
son for years. the people have gone right
along electing machine-made Democrats;
the reason being that the press could not
get Republican conventions to nominate the
right sort of candidates and could not per-
suade leading Republican politicians to quit
fighting for pie and begin TO fight for party
and good government" This is plain talk.
but it is undoubtedly the truth Many Re
publican candidates in Missouri have prob
ably been worthy men. but they have not
been so conspicuously superior to their OPP
ponents as to compel popular support, re-
gardless of party
The Kansas City Journal goes on TO say
that Republican papers which have spoken
kindly of Mr.. Folk ''have done so not be-
cause they loved their party less, but be-
cause they loved their State more, and
wanted to insure Missouri against further
ring and lobby rule, whether the next Gov
ernor of Missouri was a Democrat or a
Republican" This is patriotism pure and
simple, a sentiment more prevalent in every
State than many people are ready TO admit.
1t is not often that Republicans have occa-
sion to express approval of Democratic
reformer. such individuals being rare; but
that they are ready to do so when oppor-
tunity offers is a proof of their fairness and
breadth Of view. Had a Republican of such
marked merit as Mr.. Folk come to the
front in Missouri his following would have
been even greater than that gentleman
commands, no doubt. for he would have
had united party back of him, which Mr.
Folk has not. The situation in Missouri
should be a lesson to political managers
everywhere. convincing them that whether
of the stronger or weaker party it is al
whom the people have confidence.

Osteopathy the drugless science in medicine,
is only about ten years old. The word is not
in the Century Dictionary, edition of 1895.
Its practice is going hand in hand with blood

be cured without pills and cut without knife.
Some principles are: Health means perfect
physical adjustment Health is natural: dis
ease and death. between the time of birth and
old age, are unnatural" 'Al bodily disorders
are the result of mechanical obstruction to the
free circulation of vital fluids and forces" The
characteristic generalization of osteopathy in a
nutshell is, Most diseases of spinal origin
