A Coon JoKE.-Our friend Charley An
derson is recognized as the chief flag man of
the town, and on every occasion of note he is
sure to hang out the flag of his native land,
Sweden, surmounted by the flag of his
adopted country, the Stars and Stripes
Finding that this county had gone Union,
Charley thought he could discern glory
enough in that fact to run up his flags. and
accordingly did so, where he allowed them to
remain for several days. Meantime the
Democracy assembled here to rejoice over the
election of their State ticket, and when
Daniel Dodge, Esq, late candidate for Dis
trict Attorney, arose, with the dignity of
Webster, to address the meeting, the greater
portion of the audience were surprised and
amused to hear him open in scathing invec-
tives against Charley's flags. which the
intelligent speaker characterized as " flag
of mourning" hung out by some Union man
to signalize his disappointment over the
defeat of the Union ticket. Mr.. Dodge
wound up his illusions to the flag (which is
q dark blue field with large red cross in the
centre), by expressing the utmost contempt
for the offending bunting and the man who
placed it there. Mr.. Dodge was then fol-
lowed by the eqally intelligent Dr. Conklin,
who also alluded to the flag in question in
terms the reverse of complimentary. Can
Sweden allow such insults to her flag without
a formal declaration of war? We under
stand Charley will lay the matter before the
Swedish Government without delay.

SuERIDAN.-The name of Sheridan-Cav-
airy Sheridan-is becoming the watchword
and rallying cry of the hosts of freedom
throughout the land. He is to-day the idol
of the loyal masses of the country, and the
people feel that in him they have true
representative of the noblest type of the
genuine American, soldier and patriot. His
lips are ever ready to open when loyal words
need to be spoken, and no mysterious silence
or veil of mystery enshrouds him, but on all
appropriate occasions, either with sword, or
pen, or words outspoken, he boldly charges
down upon the enemy, breaking up their
reasonable clans. and cutting through their
subterfuges and false issues, to make way for
Liberty and Right Hurrah for the gallant
SYSTEMATICALLY Sheridan-the idol of the
people! Who shall dare to step between
him and his admiring corntrymen, and
saw he shall not be the next President of
this great Republic, upon which his patriot
ism and genius has shed so much fame and
glory?

The great contest for the election of State
officers has been fought, and decided in favor
of the Democracy. 1t is useless to enter
into any explanation of the causes which
operated to produce this result, as the facts
are transparent to the Judgment of every
intelligent man. The Democrats were as
much surprised at the success of their ticket
as Union men were disappointed at the failure
of theirs. But that California, containing a
large majority of Union voters, has passed
into the hands of the opposition, is an indis-
putable fact, and the result, and the means
by which it was brought about, should and
will teach Union men salutary lesson, and
will, in our judgment, ultimately prove
beneficial to our party, and pave the way for
a more compact organization aId harmonious
action in future.


With this defeat should perish all the
personal chickering's and petty side issues
heretofore raised inside the organization, and
every Union man should hold the unity and
welfare of its principles paramount to all
other considerations.


On the 10th of October another election
will take place. Union men will then have
an opportunity to prove their superior nu-
merical strength in the State, and show the
Democracy that their triumph is not the
result of permanent political reaction in
favor of their pernicious doctrines. Califor-
MIA is undoubtedly loyal State and we are
confident she will so prove herself by tri-
umphantly re electing John Currey and John
SWEET on the third Wednesday of October
No fault whatever has been found with these
men, nor with the manner of their nomna
ton. All loyal men can cordially unite in
their support, and by electng them reward
faithful public servants, and vindcate the
loyal record of the State. Therefore let US
waste no time in useless comments or regrets
over the defeat of September 4th. bat like
true Union soldiers close up cur ranks, and
prepare for the contest in October. The
4th of September proved a Bull Run defeat
for u.s. let US rally in our might and gain
Gettysburg victory on the 10th of October.

The question of impeaching the Pres

as il did some weeks ago. Though the
managers who have taken the job In

pretty generally conceded by 10th par
ties that the result of the coming cleo
tions will settle the question. If the
Radicals should triumph and show an
increase of popular strength, the Presi-


dent will be promptly brought before


the bar of the Senate, and proof or no
proof, he will be convicted and deposed.

fer defeat, and the results show that the
tide is running against them, we shall

are decided and clear. We have faith

HIGH wages and the right of suffrage
have been promised by the Radical
leaders to all negroes who come North
from the now unrepresented States.
The object of this movement is twOfald.
In the first place, the votes of these
negroes are to be used for the purpose
at keeping white men in minority in
THE and other States; and i'll the next,
negro labor, being cheaper, can be put
in dirsct competition with the labor Of
white workingmen. 1t has been well
said that "if negro suffrage is estab-
li.hed in the Northern States of the
Union, il will be the most deadly stab
ever Yet given 70 the interests of white
Northern labor; and the laboring man,
who by his voice or his vote, aids in
fastening this curse upon our State, will
sooner or later repent the ignorance
and folly of his conduct"

Our sleeping car from Davenport for
Chicago was set buzzing, just before

OF blooming, pretty, modest lady Of
some twenty summers, accompanied

EDITOR CHRONICLE I'm the fall of
1916 my father started one lowery
morning to go through so much Of the
neighborhood as formed a school dis
trict, for the purpose of collecting some
money to compensate the school ms'am
for her services as teacher, taking his
trusty rifle and his faithful dog Boss"
as was the custom when doing eIrands
in those days. He had to call at two
houses which were in a straight line,
about twenty rods apart. But to go
from one to the other he had to go
down steep hill, SO steep, indeed,
that one must use much caution lest he
lose his foothold, across a small stream
and up bank equally as steep. As
cending the hill, Boss gave evidence of
beIngVery much interested about some
thing. In looking around, father could
see nothing but black dog on the
hog pen, about six rods from the house.
As father came up to the house, he
heard yelp or two from Boss, which
attracted his attention, and looking
around he discovered that his black
dog was bear, which was making for
the hill. Running to the brow OF the
hill, be saw Boss and Bruin in a sharp
contest and foot race. Under the
circumstancesr the chance Of effecting
anything with the rife, was slim; but
to encourage the dog, he " let have, }"
and was fortunate enough to lodge the
ball In Bruins hip. While he was re-
loading, he heard Boss giving loud calls
for assistance. Coming to the spot, he
found Bruin comfortably seated on an
oak limb, Boss keeping guard below.
Another crack of the rife finished the
job and laid Bruin low. Boss seemed to
realize that he was at least one deg if
not two, and acted as large as life and
twice as natural. Well, we had choice
bit, then-neighbors and all-for bear
steak is luxury.


Two nights after this, as father was
in the act of getting into bed, he heard
a tremendous racket among the hogs. |
Stepping to the window, he discovered |
a huge bear about eight rods from the |
house, with young hog in his mouth.
Seizing his rifle and rushing to the door,
he gave directions to have the dog kept
in the house. till after he fred. But
Boss, by some means, crowded out. As
he went by, father "blazsd away"
which caused Bruin to lay down his hog
and make tracks for off. Boss coming
up, seized him by one hind leg. and
commenced swallowing him without
waiting TO say grace. Bruir brought
around one of his huge paws, and sent
him over and under the logs, and into
the bushes as far'as from here to yonder,
leaving him sprawling on the ground,
helpless but not lifelesE. j;

While father was reloading and get


ting on his clothes, mother had gone


to neighbor's and got them started
with rifle and dog. Boss being Grip
pied, and the other dog not liking to
go alone, they could not start him that
night. Early the next morning they
started for the scene of conflict; found
plenty of blood, but the farther they
followed on the more dim were the
traces of blood. After following about
two miles, they lost all trace of him
and gave up the chase.

one bear got away, and one bear didn't.

you think It's worth the space it would

Since the elections in PENNSYLVANIA and

cidedly in favor. The latest illustration is
furnished by the NeW York Evening Post,
whose former truculency for negro suf-
frage, and the power of Congress to man.
age the suffrage question to suit itself, was
outdone by that of none of its Radical con-
temporaries. In looking round to fairly
determine what the elections did settle, it
is safe to conclude that they put the finish
ing thrust into those hateful dogmas which
the Radical leaders are now making haste
to abandon. These were ''settled." if moth
ing else was. And the Neao York Post ad-
mits as much in switching off with such
promptness from the track it was
running on, and confessing that, after all,
it would be better to leave the people
themselves, in the States of which they are
the respective inhabitants, to determine
the whole suffrage question. 1t draws
screen before its admission-such as q gen.
eral constitutional amendment-but 1t is
plain that it would much prefer that the
people of the several States should have
sole control, to permitting its assumption
by Congress, always to be at the mercy of
the party majority. Then why not show
courage enough to say so when the matter
first came up? An adverse m ,jority, we
suspect, is the only Thing that can cure
Radicalism, and then simply by killing it..
