The Logan County (Kas.) Sentinel

what will be done with the "niggers, "
with the laws, and the Constitution
when the Democratic party again gets
its grip upon the throat of the coun-
try. We give our readers the follow
ing ex tracts:


1.-The day that gives the power into
the hands of the Democracy dooms
the policy of niger exsltntion to
death. We will smite it down with
swift and remorseless hand, and hurl
it to the devil without the benefit of
clergy.


"There ia no misunderstanding
this. We submit at present. because
it ia the law but the power that
made the law can unmake it, and
when that power comes to the hand
of the Democracy. as come it will, we
will use the power to smash the Con-
go dynasty. clean up the Statute
Books by rending away the whole
chapter of Black Republican legisla-
ton; to place the sovereignty of the
country once more in the hands of
the only race able and fit to use it
wisely and well, reinstate the white
man in his place Of power and su-
premacy, and remand the negro to
his proper position of subordination.

The frequency of explosions of deadly
character in the mines Of Great Britain
is to be ascrihed to the great depth al
which they are worked, rendering VENT
lation extremely difficult and often very
incomplete, so that gases accumulate and
often explode with terrific force and dis
astrous results. The vast amount of Goa
taken from these mines shows thai
America has yet only touched the tor
layers of the immense veins of fue!
which underlie our coal regions. As the
production of coal in England become,
more difficult, expensive and dangerous

that bright era of prosperity will one
day dawn upon the American anthracite
region. If anything was required to

vine Providence. the immense deposit

sea serpent.

about 500 yards off. The crew supposed
it was,,a swordfish, when the man at the

on every available place where view

surmounted with q head that appeared 10

TIE neck for about ten ieet from the
head was as big round as large barrel,
and then the fin begun.


Determined to see the fellow clear, the
steersman put up his helm, and the

craft struck him ait OF the in with
slight shock. No sooner had the sehoon.

of dash, the fellow dove and, as he did
so. he brought his tail round with

mere touch that the vessel received,
which showed what would have happen

It is natural that in the present politi- cal situation there should be thoughts of a third party, and there are reports from Washington ot conferences lately held there upon the subject. But those who would prevent the perils of Democratic restora- tion must see that the effort to organize a new party at this time could end only in the election of 8 Democrat in 1876. There Is no doubt that clear majority of the people of the country d1strust the Demo- cratic party; and while they do not ques- ton the patriotism or the high character of men like Governor Tilden and some others, they doubt the power of such men to direct their party. There has always been very little independence among Dem ocrat1c leaders. They fear the following which they fatter and to which they yield. Even nan of the character of Senator Thurman, with his eye upon the Presi- dency, takes occasion to aIlude to the Ro- man Catholic as ''the grand old Church. J The Senator was thinking of the Irish vote.

 There is this difference between the two parties, that the mass of those who are in- cliRed to the Republican organization are better and wiser than their leaders, while the Democratic leaders are very much saf- CT than the mass of their party. In decid- ing upon his political action, therefore, the voter must 1ook over the shoulder of Gov ernor Tilden and Senator Thurman, and see what stands behind them. He will see there many of the most dangerous ele- ments and tendencies in the country. The surviving passions of the war; the kind of barbarism and impatience of law which slavery breeds in the society in which it has long existed; jealouy of the negro; hostility to the eommon-school system; ex- travagant dogmas of State sovereignty; the most relentless party tyranny-these

Since men do what they do in this mat ter concerning women and children and society, what do they do to themselves? what effect has all this upon mans own wel-being, mental, moral, physical? I wonder why fathers who have learned out of the bitter school of experience, why older brothers who know the truth in many and many case in sorrow, why these never tell the truth to the boys, to their sons and any other brothers who are growing up about them. wonder why mothers, who protect their boys against every slightest harm other than this, never speak word to save themI Why do fathers and mothers. why do those who through experience or observation know the truth, fail to tell these young men that this act, that concerns but himself and himself so slightly, works such results as 1t does?
