II is frequently asserted by the Farm
er and people from the country generally
that there is feeling of opposition by
the town citizens, to anything that orgi-
mates in the country for the interest Of
the Farming classes, and that Farmer,
no matter how well qualified, would not
receive fair recognition by our people.
This, we are sure, is not the case, and
we hope our town people will show by
their votes for Judge Sangster today,
that that impression has no foundation
in truth. Let US give him vote that
will forever disabuse the minds Of our
country friends. Show them that our
interests are their interests, and that we
are ready to march shoulder to shoulder
with them in the great work Of reform,
they are embarked in.


Merchants, Professional men, Mechan-
les and Laboring men, let us oday, for
ever, by our votes, bury the prejudice
that exists between the country and town

act of clearing the track. his foot caught
and he fell lengthwise il the center of the
track while the engine was coming to-

and as the pilct cleared his lower ex-

it, keeping bis head before the pilot, all

to the engineer TO stop the train, this was
accomplished after the train had taken him
on his lack about ninety feet. He was

The continuance of the Indian Commission,
after the resignation of Messrs. Stuart, Dodge,
and the other members who gave it character
and the confidence Of the country, is of course
feeble farce, modelled upon the continuance
of the Civil Service Commission after its
original Commissioners had discovered their
limitations and necessary failure. With the
best of men the new Indian Commission can
no more do what was expected of it than the
second Civil Service Commission did. The
appointments at the best can only be a re-
spectacle way of covering break down. At
the worst, they may prove means of con-
cealing such practices in the Interior Depart
ment as may well make the latter end of the
Indian problem worse than the first.-Mean-
time those who think the view here taken of
the Indian Commission too gloomy, will do
well to consult the letter from the late clerk
of the Board, which we print this
morning on the fourth page. The Com
missoners themselves have been little
disposed to argue their case in the
newspapers. The clerk has no snch hesi-
tation, and the facts he gives concerning the
Department of the Interior, and the constant
efforts to thwart the actions of the Commits
sioners, are the best possible comment on the
appointment by the Secretary of the Interior
of new Commission to take the place of
the one he drove away.

the question of abandoning the

WOMEN HATERS AND BEATERs.-
The Phoebe Record, speaking of

We read terrible tale of an un-

drown herself and her babe, being
driven to desperation by her hus-
bands cruelty. A brute that would
under almost any circumstances
raise his hand against woman,
ought to be soundly scourged; but
the man that abuses and ill-treats
the woman that he has sworn to
protect and defend, ought to be pun
ished so severe as to be warning to
all such brutes as we'll as himself.
The lash, we'll laid on, should be his
fate"


Holland had better discharge
that man; he knows too much, or
too little, else he would let the wife
whipping question alone. = ED.

This is so, says the Nevada Yrib-
u,ae, and yet we know of men who
are in the constant habit of beating
and i'll treating their wives, and yet
have the audacity to mix in decent
society and call themselves men.
This kind are easily to be distin-
guished, and for the benefit of un-
married ladies we will endeavor to
draw picture: The woman-beater
is generally pale, white-livered
looking creature; man on whose
cheeks blush never appears; man
who in business will grind the last
cent from poor customer, and, If
he dare, abuse him in the bargain.
He is generally puffy, slobby-look-
ing individual; between the eyes is
the spot to look to distinguish such
a one from a gentleman. His in
stincts are british as well as his
acts, and though he may flourish for
while, his filthy appetite will drag
him down to habitual drunkenness
and the brute's level.

things. $1,000 served as a years
living of father, mother and three

creator of home; her relations with
her children were the most beautiful

enabled to do good work for souls by
the atmosphere which this woman
created; every inmate of her house
involuntarily looked into her face for
the keynote of the day, and it always
rang clear. From the rosebud or clo-
yer leaf, which, in spite of her hard
housework, she always found to put

the story she had on hand to be read

mission OF her influence. She has
always been and always will be my
ideal of mother, wife, and a home


maker. If to her quick brain, loving
heart, and exquisite face had been
added the appliance Of wealth and
the enlargement of wider culture
hers would have been absolutely the
ideal home. AS it was it was the
