least. We should have mentioned the
item without being requested to do eo,
but, it was neglected at the proper time
until too late, and then we thought best
to leave it out. It is really too bad bad
that your informant had to go so far
away with a request like that; but? then,
after all, we are much obliged to you,
may be we will want to borrow from you
some time, as correspondents often do.

Mr. N. Coon brought seyeral stalks of

Speaking of crops J. ,W. Builis thinks
he can lead in his neighborhood. He

Careless Shooting.
Frank Lightfoot of Marion, Ind., has
just shot his mother dead. He thought
of course, that she wns a burglar. People
who sleep with fire arms within reach
should remember several thingi. Bur
glars, as a rule, do not wear white night
gowns. It is even better that an occa
sional burglar should carry off a dozen
plated spoons than there should be a fu
neral in the family.
It is made certain by mortuary reports
that where one burglar is winged, a
dozen innocent people who went into the
next room to procure a drink or put out
the cat, got bored through. Another
singular fact is that the beloved relative
who is plugged never escapes death, while
the genuine burglar can have all the
buttons shot off his coat and fly into the
night without a scratch.
The amateur sliootist should think of
these things. Thought is very swift, aud
not much time will be lost by a fleeting
indulgence in it before pressing the trig
ger. Omaha Herald.
The Jicpublican has never made the
assertion that a member of the G. A. R.
is better than an ex-Confederate soldier
and any attempt to distort this fact is a
further proof of democratic ignorance.
The Confederate soldier was a brave man.
This fact was sorrowfully attested by his
former foe, thousands of whom sleep in
southern graves, and as many more bear
evidence of his prowess by empty coat
sleeves and crippled bodies. He was
brave, and fought for his home and fami
ly. No man could do more than that.
But if he was as well informed on the
causes which led to this war as was his
northern foe or those from the south who
fought to save the Union he well knew
that the "grand army which followed
Leo" was seeking to destroy our nation
that it was fighting for a cause which
was, is, and ever will be wrong irrevo
cably so, and in this respect the "grand
army which followed Lee" is to to be
compared as Guiteau to Washington and
Grant. Fayettcvills, Atkansaa Re
publican.
TnE British government has quite
promptly called upon our government
for an explanation of the seizures of Brit
ish Columbia sealing vessels in the watci8
of Alaska, which occurred during last
month. Three vessels were captured by
the revenue cutter Rush and taken to Sit
ka, where they were turned over to the
United States authorities and their cases
are now being considered by the courts.
They had been doing a good business in
seal catching, one of the vessels having
on board nearly five hundred sealskins.
The case seems to be pretty clear. The
waters in which the vessels were taken
are adjacent to the Aleutian islands, which
are under the jurisdiction of the United
States. Our laws prohibit the taking of
seals in those waters, and there appears to
be no doubt that these laws have been
violated by the captured vessels. It is
not impossible, however, that the English
government may prove to be somewhat
obtuse regarding this view, and that a
more or less prolonged correspondence
will ensue resulting in a release of these
vessels. Such an outcome would be
quite in keeping with the present methods
of the state department. Omaha Bee.
The Mugwump Disaffection.
There are numerous signs that the mug
wumps have soured on Cleveland and
would like to come under the Republican
umbrella again if only they can pre
scribe the manner af their coming. The
only exception appears to be George
William Curtis, who notified the Civil
Service Reform League that the Cleve
land Administration had stabbed the re
form in the house of its friends, and in
the Issue of Harper's Weekly following
the delivery of his annual report an
nounced his intention of supporting
Cleveland in 1888, from which it appears
that Mr. Curti9 and Mr. Eugene Higgins
both have unswerving confidence in him.
though the latter appears to be getting
all the political boodle.
In other quarters, however, the sky is
not so serene and confidence is badly
shaken. The New York Evening Post,
which has been the President's profes
sional apologist, has no apology to offer
for the Higgins business; on the other
hand it not long ago declared that if he
did not clear that business up it might
cost him the votes which elected him in
1884. Of late it has admitted to its
columns and conspicuously displayed
some significant communications, among
them one from a Kentucky mugwump
setting forth the Democratic losses in
that State and the reasons for them. A
day or two ago it also printed a letter
from Indianapolis in which the writer
says: The indications now are that the
"Republicans will win in Indiana next
"year with comparative ease, because, as
"things stand today, the "independents
"and mugwumps are in pretty close sym
pathy with the Republicans"; and in an
other place: "Here then is one reason why
"the Republicans may count upon the
"independents 'next year. Mr. Cleveland
"has ignored them utterly and they pro
pose, if the Republicans will allow them
"to do so, to ignoro him." There nre
signs that both the rost and the New
York Times, the latter particularly,
would not hesitate in breaking their en
gagements with Cleveland and coining
back into the camp, provided the Re
publicans should engage not to nominate
Mr. Blaine; and there arc just hs sig
nificent signs that it is the fear of the
exodus and the Democratic kicking be
sides which has induced tho President to
make his forthcoming swing around the
circle and patch up his boom where it is
showing signs of weakness. An im
portant dispatch from Indianapolis also
confirms thi3 mugwump disaffection and
lets in considerable light. Upon the
authorityof a prominent mugwump. Judge
Greshem is the man they want. He says
they no longer expect to find a perfect
man after their experience with Cleve
land, who has been found lacking back
bone both in the matter of tariff reform
and civil service, and that "if the Re
publicans will satisfy themselves with
"Grcsham tho mugwumps will give him
"a united support, and that means his
"election."
The position in which the mugwumps
find themselves is sufficiently embarrass
ing without any special comment, and it
would be cruel to aggravate it with the
familiar consolation of "I told you so."
We would rather call their attention, in
this time of their trial, t the fact that the
the doors of the grand old party are wide
open widethey are welcome to enter, but
they must not come in making conditions.
Ther epublican party will take cureof itself
and must decline the porffers of the mug
wumps, generous and flattering as th-y
are. Upon that point they can possess
their souls in p tience or any other way
they please. If they are willing to come
back and resume their position on the
same terms a9 other Republican to
stand by the platform and the candi
dates and put their shoulder to the wheel
no questions will be asked. All will be
forgotten and forgiven. If not they
would better stay where they are and en
joy their outing if they can. In any
eyent the Republicans are going to man
age their own party, and in 1888 they
are going to fight their old enemy and its
rrinity of mugwump, prohibition, and
socialistic allies with all tho weapons
known to civilized warfare.
We hope the mugwumps of Chicago
will not lay the flattering unction to their
souls that any of these remarks are ad
dressed to thorn; for tho mugwumps of
Chicago are so few in number and so
faint of heart that they have not been,
and never will lis, able to make one hair
blackjor white in politics. Chicago Trib.

The story now told of the way the Ute
troubles originated bears such strong ele
ments of truth that Colorow and his band
may not be altogether the only ones to
blame. It is related that after having
won in races a number of horses from the
whites, which the latter refused to give j
up, the Indians went into the corral one i
night and made off with the horses. The
whites complained to Sheriff Kendall,
who proceeded to have the Utes arrested
for horse-stealiag. Of course, when the j
capias was about being served, the Utes j
resisted, and hence the trouble. That
Colorow and his band are not anxious
to get out on the war-path as was at first
announced is plain from their present ac
tion. They have as yet caused no depre
dations, nor, as far as the dispatches state, i
have they attacked any one. But just
how long this state of things will last,
with Sheriff Kendall and 150 cowboys
chasing them all over the mountains, no
one can tell. The government is to blame
for its delay in the matter. A detach
ment should have been sent out at once
to take the Utes back to their reservation,
and if persuasion could not have done
the work, rifles would soon have brought
the renegades to their senses. It may
not be too late yet. but if the fight is
once begun much bloodshed and loss of
property may result before these Indians
are subdued. An ounce of prvention is
worth ten pounds of cure. Olobe Dem.

of great guns that will stun all Orango

OKK TO THE I it POSTS.
Watch tho boys us they go to their stations.
Tbo seniors, in their riding dress, gauntlets
and cavalry sabers, swing easily into tho sad
dles of tho somewhat vicious looking steeds
that are held in readiness for them, adjust
their stirrups, take a preliminary and surrep
titious dig with their spurred heels to test tho
mettle of their nags, then clatter off to their
posts to look over tho horses and drivers of
their detachmonts. Tho yearlings in their
natty shell jackets stand ready at the guns;
the bugle blares tho signal "cannoneers
mount," and, like so many agile monkeys,
they spring to their seats on tho ammunition
chests, and with another bnglo blast, and
rumble of hoof and wheel and clink of trun
nion, away goes tho battery down the grav
elly plain.
There aro a few preliminary moves to warm
them up to their work; tho battery comman
der, a young artillery officer who knows his
trade, swings them to aad fro, faster and
faster, from ono formation to other column,
lino and battery and then, as though or
dered to cheek tho advanco of an enemy
swurming up tho heights and give him ca:i

long before which, nimble as cats, tho can

are seated on their excited chargers.
WITH A SUDDEN SV.'IIIL.

that well nigh capsizes them tho three
youngsters on each limber seemingly hang

there is a rattle end bang of pintio hooks,
hoarse sbouki of "Drive on" to tho gun

in and out among the wheels; sponges and
rammers -whirl in air; there is a belch of
flame, smoke and thunder clomd, a bellowing
roar; another, another half a dozen in quick
succession; a thick sulphurous huzo settles
down the plain mid envelops tho gunners,
and suddenly comes another blare of bugle.
"Cease firing" is tho shout, and tho mimic
scene of Buena Vista is over.
Even before the smoke has cleared away
another order is given, with prompt, exciting
response; plunging horses, cracking whips, a
rush of teams, limbers and caissons between
the black muzzles of the guns; a 6udden
whirl about of wheels aud handspikes, and

Cigar for Gen. Grant.
Gen. Grant was able to gratify his love for
the weed at little or no tax upon hi3 $30,000
a year. So many of his friends were desirous
of making him presents and hi fondness for
cigars was so universally known that tho ex
press companies were fcept busy delivering
him boxes of the choicest brands. I know of
one gift to him of a box of 100 which cost the
donor $145 so, at least, the latter told me. I
thought this was about the highest price ever
paid for such goods, but the gentleman as
sured me that he had himself smoked, cigars
which had cost J 1.75 apiece. Ho had done so
accidentally, however, for it was iur from
his disposition to be so extravagant. The
gift to Gen. Grant came about in this way:
My informant, a merchant ot means, was
about to visit the general iu camp during the
closing days of tho war and thought a box of
fino cigars would be appreciated ua a delicate
courtesy. Accordingly, he called upon a
cigar dealer near his residence and requested
him to get the best box of cigars within reach.
It was a time when gold was over 200, and
the custom duties wyre very heavy. Tho
package was duly delivered to him in a day
or two and with it a bill for $145. Astonished
at the price he went to the cigar dealer, who
said that the bill was correct Brooklyn

even ladies aro not averse to owning it.

their unjust policy. They ki; still id

pemi-llui.i envelope surrounding the delicate
tissue of the air and food i assat'ec. that Ca
tarrh makes its ttmuifliold, i nice enabliehed,
it eats into the very vitals, and renders life but
alonji-drawn breatli of misery ai d disease,
dulling the fene of bearing, trammelling the
power of speech, eiestrojing the faculty of
smell, tainting tbe breath, and killing the re
fined pleasure of tate. In.iiduously, by ereep
inc from a simple cold iu ti.e head, it assaults
the inumhrunoui lining and envelopes tho
bones, eatinjf through the delicate coats and
causing iii'fiamaiion. sloughii: and death.
Nothing hort tf tolal eradication will necur
health to the patient, and ah alleviatives are
