Veins of a good quality of bituminous coal have been encountered nine miles south ot Friend and also about three miles from the town. Both veins are near the surface. It is argued that they would have been encount ered before in digging wells il thev entended any distance in solid beds.

Interesting" statistics were re cently put forth showing the rela tive voting strength of Catholics and Protestant in the United States.

It may be well to state in the begin ning" that these articles are not written with a view to elicit replies from those who may entertain dif ferent opinions from those herein ex pressed, nor to draw any one into a newspaper controversy which at the best is not condusive to any great benefit to the general reader; but the one motive in view is to place be fore the reading public a plain, simple. concise statmentof the facts with the hope that they may be beneficial in enabling very many who may now be in doubt, to form correct conclusions on this impor tant subject. The writer wishes further to add that any one who may be bubbling over with in formation and argument on this subject, taking an opposite view. and is afraid he may effervesceand waste his sweetness on the desert air, will be accomodated at any time and at any place suitable for a for ensic display of ability. No attempt will be made to ques tion the honesty of those who enter tain opposite views, no argu ment will be introduced to show that the "free silver" advocate, generally, is not true to his convic tions. In fact most men are per fectly honest in their views as ex pressed on different subjects, and this being true, every man has a right to his opinion, and within cer tain limits, freedom of speech is ac corded to every citizen of the coun try; but there is a class of individ uals known as the CHEAP JOHN POLITICIAN. upon whom it is necessary to be stow a passing word. Like bad j - weeds they flourish everywhere, but the western prairies of Kansas and Nebraska appear to be peculiarly adapted to their growth and devel opment, so like the Russian Thistle they roll onward, ever onward, and as that weed scatters its pestilent seeds over the farmers broad acres so with their blatant mouths they scatter their obnoxious theories broad-cast over the countrv, little caring- what damage they do, so long as the result brings them notoriety, and makes it possible for them to be elected to any pettv office in the gift of the people. Too much can not be said in deprecation of these fawning sycophants who hasten to foist their false doctrines upon the minds of a too credulous people. When the country is in a prosperous condition, when labor is every where employed, whenthe pleasant hum of the spindle, the deafening-roar of the furnace, and the ringing music of the anvil is everywhere heard, telling to the ob serving man plainer than words can tell, that the people are pros perous and happy, then comes the winter of their discontent to these craping agitators wha being; pes simistic in their opinions languish and droop and die, when peace and plenty bring- contentment and happiness to the people, During the continuance of these pleasant and prosperous conditions the energeticandaggressive Ameri can Citizen, desiring to progure a competence, or increase his wealth, gives little attention to theorists and their visionary and falacious schemes; but when the scene is changed, when the nation is no longer prosperous, when labor is idle, when a scarcitv of monpv causes the most extravagant to practice ecomony, and when the or dinary business man, not havin"- tne t-i,ne to bestow on these econ- omic questions, is ntterlr unable to divine the causes which have I combined to producesuch disastrous try, and which, unfortunately have - , . . , nearly four years in every section of the United States, then these wiseacres, and their name is.Legion, like the toad-stool PRICE REDUCTION saying- ..!"... v .

When traveling in Kansas a few weeks ago the writer was fortunate or un fortunate enough to see and hear one of these "cheap John" Solo mons who for hours poured forth a tirade of abuse against national government, Kansas governor, and all Legislatures in general, while the banks in particular came in for a large share of foul epithets which would have done credit to the most unprincipled fish monger of Billingsgate; yet judging from the emaciated appearance of his team, the delapidated condition of his wagon, the ancient looks of his har ness,and the general contour of the man, he never had a cent in the bank in his life and consequently could not possibly be injured by the so called -gold bugs."
