JSebraska City, Neb., Aug. 30tb, 1S7C,
On the 23d of August four hay
makers were killed by Indians within
four miles of Custer City. Their
names were, James Kidd, Thomp
son , Samuel Wallace and Jacob Wei
ley. When found they were scalped
and their brains beaten out.
What is the chairman of the Repub
lican State Central- Committee
James W.Dawes doing as to the fall
campaign? He was selected because
said to bo "a young energetio man."
Wo hope he realizes the situation,
and will stir up things lively. We
dou'L want any child's play this fall.
The rebel Democracy of South Car
olina have nominated the rebel Gen
eral, Wade Hampton for Governor.
And the ku-klux. reformers down
there are making things lively for
Tilden and Hampton. How long
would this government last in the
bands- of-sueh reformers.
Democrats are Democrats just be
cause they are Democrats. Prove a
Democratic candidate to be a liar, a
perjurer, a ballot-box stuffer, a trai
tor, a monopolist, arobbcr of laboring
men as has been proved en Tilden
and Houdrloks, and cannot be suc
cessfully refuted yet Democrats will
vote for them anyhow, and for no
other reason than that they "always
vote the dimicrat ticket.
Fred. Nye, editor of the Fremont
Tribune, Neb., was arrested and lodg
ed Jn jail one day-last week and fined
$100 for contempt of court which con
sisted in publishing a notice for a
school meeting after an injunction
had been served upon him ordering
him not to publish it. The editor did
right in disregarding the injunction
for no court has the right to make
Such an order.

The result of the Grangers' revolt
against the grain ring in San Franois
co will be watched with Interest. The
ring stood between the farmers and
the ships, and prevented them from
exporting on their own account, or
without paying a heavjT tribute to the
middlemen. They have now united,
agreed to sell no corn for le98 than
$1.C5 a bushel and are arranging to
charter vessels on their own account.
Democratic papers in this State, and
elsewhere, who a few years ago, when
ex-Senator Tipton was in good stand
lngin theRepublican party, denounc
ed him by using tha vilest language
known, as a ''fraud" "a man of no
abilIt3T, or practical use whatever,1'
now Bpeak of him as "one of the
ablest men on the stump' "few men
in tho country are more powerful."
Strange how suddenly and radically a
man can be "reformed!" Isn't it?
Oh'tlio Slst ult., near Newcastle,
Pa., two men named Weedon and
Walker engaged in a prize fight.
A'bout one thousand roughs were pres
ent to witness tho combat. Sixty-two
rounds were fought. On thelastround
Walker fell and never recovered. The
next morning his bruised body was
found dead on a wharf where it had
been left. He was only about twenty
years old. An officer tried to stop the
fight but was prevented by the large
crowd of brutes present. Weedon and
several others of his gang have been
arrested. The full penalty of the law
against murder Bhould be Weedon's
punishment.
The Nebraska City News boasts that
railroad men or those most interested
in railroad monopolies are Tilden'6
friends. We quote the following
from, the News of tho 2d inst:
"How is it that the men most Inte
rested in the-welfare of these railroads
are among Tilden's most ardent-admirers
and zealous supporters?'
We admit the claim a3 far as pres
ent eastern railroad oompanies are
concerned, and ask the honest labor
ing man meohanic and farmer if it
is consistent with his idea of reform
on questionscf commerce, labor and
capital for him to support a man who
has acquired his wealth and reputa
tion as a railroad lawyer, a Tammany
lawyer, (Tweed paid him $230,000 for
legal services,) and a speculator in the
bonds of railroad companies he swin
dled and helped to wreck ? We admit
that eastern monopolists are general
ly supporters of Tilden because he is
one of them.
A, Democratic Tlirust at the Public
Sehool System.
A striking example of the degree of
favor with which our public school
system is regarded by tho 'reformers,'
is to be found in the District of Co
lumbia, the only territory which is
wholly and absolutely under the con
trol of the national government. By
the limit which Congress placed on
the expenditures of tho Commission
ers of the District of Columbia, it has
been found necessary to so reduce the
allowance for pchool service,, that the
term during which tho schools can be
kept open has been cut down to eight
months in the year instead of ten
months, as has always heretofore been
the case. Let it be remembered that
this action is not through a refusal to
appropriate the money of the country
at large, but merely an arbitrary and
unjust refusal to permit the taxes,
which are paid by the residents aud
property holders of the District, to be
applied as heretofore in favor of a full
school term of ten months. The
school syBtem of Washington under
the fostering care of Republican Com
mittees in former Congresses has
grown from a mere nothing to a mod
el, and one that has been commended
and followed in many other localities,
and yet we see the Democracy at the
very first opportunity striking at it in
a manner and with a force calculated
to make its friends and admirers stand
aghast. A movement is on foot by the
more earnest and friendly by whioh
it Is proposed to keep the schools open
through the full term by private sub
scriptions from those most interested.
President Grant has frequently al
luded in his messages to our free school
system as of the utmost importance
to the country, and not only the plat
form adopted by the Republican Con
vention at Cincinnati, but Governor
Hayes in his letter of acceptance urg
es the importance of fostering the sys
tem as the surest meaus of ensuring
the prosperity and perpetuity of our
Republic.
Air There
Senator Morton in his great speech
at Indianapolis, referring to the polit
ical elements which constituted tho
Convention that nominated Tilden
and Hendricks, said :
There was the old slaveholder, with
a heart full of bitter memories, be-
lievinc that emancipation was rob
bery, and his only hope of indemnity
in tho Democratic party.
There was the old agitator and se
cessionist, who had hurried States-in
to rebellion and drafted ordinances of
secession.
There were the officers and soldiers
who had borne the Confederate ilag
upon many a bloody field, and who
proudly pointed to their rebel record
as their title deed of office and glory.
There were the members of the reb
el Congress at Richmond, who had
debated with closed doors the question
of the black flag.
There were the architects and de
fenders of Belle Isle, Libby, Ander
eonville and Salisbury, scenes of hor
ror of which the Modocs in their lava
fortress had never dreamed.
There were the Northern sympa
thizers aud doughfaces, who had wait
ed and- watched over the- border,
whose hearts aud hopes were in- the
South while their bodies were in the
North.
There were a few Union soldiers
who had carried their scauty laurels
to a Confederate market, where decoy
signals were scarce and in large de
maud. There was the sore-headed Repub
lican, whose neglected claims for of
fice had broken his faith in civiliza
tion and convinced him of the neces
sity of reform.
In short, there were assombled the
mourners for slavery, the organizers
of rebellion, the Kuklux and White
Liner, the Northern sympathizer and
doughface, the advocate of Southern
sovereignty, and tho representative of
every element that bad torn the coun
try with civil war, drenched it with
blood, and watered it with the t oars
of the widows and orphans.
No Democrat who cares a snap for
the truth will deny that the Senator's
picture is a true one. That Conven
tion was composed of the most cor
rupt, disloyal and dangerous lot of
men ever assembled for alike purpose
worse than tho Charleston or Chi
cago Convention. Will any citizen
understanding!', who loves country
more than party, vote for the nomi
nees of such a convention? No, not
one.
Northern Democrats declare, as we
heard one the other day, that that
party and its newspapers condemn the
massacre of negroes in the South and
especially the cowardly Hamburg
butohery. But it is false. We have
never seen a Democratic newspaper
that said a word against the ku-klux
manner of reduoing the Republican
vote. Democratio newspapers, Dem
ocratic speakers and Democratic Con
gressmen apologize for and excuse on
flimsy and false grounds the murder
of negroes and "carpetbaggers," and
some, as the Jackson, Miss., Clarion,
oppenly approve of such crimes and
oppression. That paper, one of the
most influential Democratic journals
in tho Stale of Mississippi, speaking
of the Hamburg murders, said :
No impartial person can read the
reports of the affair without apjiroving
the conduct of the whites, and at the
same time sympathize with them in
the misfortune of having been forced
to suoh an extremity of action in self
defence. The whites were the originators of
the disturbance, and murdered those
unarmed, defenceless people in the
most cowardly and cold blooded man
ner, as an act of intimidation.
A Virginia Democratic paper, the
Lynchburg Siar understood the de
sign well when it said :
The South Carolina negro3 are get
ting their backs up. They had better
remember the fate of their brethren in
Mississippi. "An ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of oure."
A majority of the Democratio party
to-day cherish and practice the doc
trine that intimidation, force and
fraud are legitimate meauBto carry en
election. This is believed in from
Tilden the ballot-box stuffer down to
the masked ku-klux night rider that
murders Republicans .white and black
for opinions sake..
!
t
When the question in New York
was mooted amongst tho Democratic
leaders, as to the propriety of nomi
nating Tilden, the Albany Evening
JJews foresawwhat has come to pasB,
viz: questions asked concerning
Mr. Tilden which cannot be,
for him, favorably answered, and
tho "thin disguise of 'reform stripped
from him" most effectually. We quote
from this Democratic organ, the Times,
as follows :
Let us remember that the following
are a few of the questions wo must
answer if Tilden succeeds in getting
the nomination :
1st. Did Tilden, liko Church, or
Keruan.givo his time, his money, his
pen, or his tongue to tho tabk of put
ting down the rebellion?
2nd. Who, according to the oath of
Oakes Ames, drafted the Credit Mo
bilier law?
3rd. Who, according to the official
declaration of Judge Davis of the Uni
ted States courts, was the head and
front of an infamous fraud in working
out the great railroad consolidations
of the West, from which the region is
still suffering?
4th. Who, according to Mr. Gris
wold, of St. Louis, wa3 guilty of cut
ting oil" and getting payment on cou
pons, for more than ten years, on other
people's railroad bonds, and appropri
ating to himself other securities left
with him in trust?
5th. Who, according to C. T. Har
vey, gave him a written obligation,
pledging his 'saored honor' to pay him
some one hundred aud thirty-seven
thousand dollars in a certain contin
gency, which did occur, but the pa'
ment was repudiated? His 'sacred
honor' was notBtrong enough to hold
him.
6th. Who came into the office of
Governor finding innumerable 'rings'
robbing the Treasury of the State aud
plundering great municipalities like
Brooklyn? True, he had made a great
ado about destroying 'the Canal Ring,'
after the Legislature had determined
not to appropriate to it another dollar
of money j but did he not do tenfold
more toward protecting the 'Printing
Ring,' the 'State Printing Ring,' aud
the 'Brooklyn Ring' than any of his
predecessors had dared to do?
7th. Who, in a special Message dat
ed March 24, 1S75, recommended anew
scheme of enlarging the Erie Canal,
at an expense to the tax-payers of the
State of $5,000,000, which is declared
by all the Democratic Canal Commis
sioners utterly useless and absurd?
These are only a few of the ugly
questions which must be responded to
by Democrats if this man is made our
candidate. The thin disguise of 're
form' would be stripped from him the
first ten days of the cauvass.
Had Mr. Tilden been other than
what he is now charged by tho Re
publicans, why the dread of these
questions by the Times, Mr. Belmont,
Kelly and other leaders in the Demo
cratio party?
Honest voters, look at the charges
above made made not by Republi
cans but by a leading Democratic
newspaper in New York, located
where it knows Mr. Tilden and all
his works too well for gushing admi
ration. Is not th;9 preponderance of
the testimony against Mr. Tilden?
Can you trust him? Will you?
No surprise need be felt at tho abuse
aud slander which the owner of Mr.
Hayes are heaping up against the good
name and unblemished life of Gov.
Tilden. Omaha Herald.'
We need-no Republican authority
to provo Mr. Tilden not only a corrupt
politician but a dishonest man. We
have plenty of Democratio authority.
August Belmont come forward and
testify. Mr. Belmont saj's:
"I think he (Tilden) cannot carry
New York. Those whoolaim that he
is unassailable do not know him, or,
if they do, then they are quite as dis
honest as he is. He has been counsel
for all the broken down corporations
with which New York bus been af
flicted for a long term of years, and
out of them he has not come with
clean bauds."
Mr. Belmont Is now aud has been
for many years a leading New York
Democrat. Will the Herald say Mr.
Belmont iB not a reliable witness?
Well, here's another the Cincin
nati JEnouirer Bourbon all over, or
thodox to the backbone. That pa
per Bays :
Tilden's surrounding are bad. If
elected, he would take to the White
House the woret set of political job
bers and thieves ever seen in Wash
ington, and that is saying a good deal.
It could not but be that a man edu
cated in cunning, in hypocrisy, in in
iquity, nominated in corruption and
shameless effrontery, even though his
millions could elect him, would give
us the most corrupt administration
the country has ever known.
General Steadman, of Ohio, who was
a delegate in the St. Louis Conven
tion that nominated Mr. Tilden, said
of him :
Under no circumstances that could
be imagined would we accept Tilden.
If Tilden should unfortunately re
ceive the nomination, Hayes would
beat him in Ohio by 60,000 or 70,0(3
majority, and Indiana he would beat
him by 20.0CO or 2-3,0'JO. If any other
man that has been named should be
nominated'on a platform deolaring In
favor of the immediate repeal of the
Resumption act, we can carry Ohio
by ' .( ) majority. We would not
even accept Tilden on a platform with
that plank in it, because the man and
the platform would neutralize each
oilier.
Gen. John M. Palmer, anotherDem
ocrat a leader in that party in Illi
nois, said of Tilden :
I am confident that Tilden cannot
carry any of tho October elections,
and do not tee how Democra can af
ford to lose Ohio and Indiana. Gov."
Tilden would be an objectionable can
didate on several grounds, among
others his record in the Chicago Con
vention of 1S64. I do not believe tho
Democrats could elect any man who
was Identified with the promulgation
of the idea that tho war was a failure.
The young men of the country could
not be induced to support such a can
didate or such a platform.
This is all good Democratio authority-
These men and papers are all
noted Democratic leaders. The utter
ances above were tho true sentiments
of their hearts before Tilden was nom
inated. Mr. Belmont, an old citizen
of New York, Intimately acquainted
with Tilden, having acted with him
In many a political campafgnt, knows
whereof he speaks when he says Til
den is dishonest j that "he has been
counsel for all the broken down cor
porations with which New York has
been afflicted for a term of years,"
and tbat "out of them he has not come
with clean hauds.'' JWe need no Re
publican witnesses to show most con-
J
clusively that Tilden iB a most corrupt
man, politically and otherwise, and
most unfit of all aspirants to properly
represent and execute laws for the la
borer, the mechanic, the poor man
and the agriculturist. Democratic
witnesfes of this fact are abundaut
and sufficient, and this testimony, We
insist, should be weighed well and
candidly considered by all honest men
who want to bo informed of tho truth
that they may do right and vote right.
The President is in Earnest.
President Grant, says the Wash
ington Republic, was never mor earn
est than he is to-day. Hisdetermina
to use all constitutional means to put
down political assassinations, and
have the polls kept open, is not to be
trifled with. Nor is the temper of the
North to be trifled with. The elec
tion in the South must be as safe and
as free for Republican citizens, white
or black, as in the States of Vermont
or Massachusets. Let the Southern
Democracy take a noto of this. It
may be for their comfort. And to
show how thoroughly the work of
protection is to be done, and how busy
the proper officers are In making pre
parations for it, the following infor
mation is made public as to carrying
out the election laws :
The Attorney General is preparing,
and will in a few days issue, specific
instruction to the United States mar
shals in every State in the Union, in
structing them as to their duties and
rights under the election lawa. Tho
object of the administration, asBtated
by the Attorney General, is to secure
to every citizen, in Massachusetts as
well as in the South Carolina, his full
rights uuder the Jaw. The marshals
having once been instructed as to
their rights under the law will be ex
pected to enforce them; and if they
cannot do this with the usual force at
their command, then the military
will bo sent to assist them.
Under the order issued to General
Sherman there will be no present
change in the stations of troops in
"any of the States, North or South,
but the order itself will bo issued In
the form of a general order, and sent
to all the officers commanding divis
ions, departments, and posts, and thejT
will regard it as a sufficient notice to
hold all their troops in readiness to
answer any legal demand that may
be made upon them to assist In exe
cuting the law. General Sherman, in
speaking of this order, says he does
not believe it is the intention of the
President to interfere unduly in the
affairs of any State, but thinks that
the President has determined, as far
aB lies in his power, there shall be a
fair and pearenble election in every
State in the Union, even if all the
available force of the army must be
used to protect their rights.
Tho is one charge that should be
made against Tilden without further
delay, and before so mauy are made
that there will not be room for any
more.and thatisthaf'hestole Charles
Ro3s." Philadelphia Times.
So many serious charges are made
against Mr. Tilden, with the proof to
bach them, that it is not necessary to
make false charges, even by tho most
unscrupulous or over zealous parti
sans. The truth is bad enough. Til
den has made his own unenviable
record, which damns him in the eyes
of all good men as thoroughly as if he
were in reality a child thief. A man
who will connive with a thief to'stuff
a ballot box with fraudulant tickets is
equally as mean as the thief himself,
and a thief is a thief whether he
steals children or money. The man
who would put upon record a false
oath to cheat his government out of a
few dollars of tax, is a meaner man
than tho man who stole little
Charley Ross. The naked truth is
sufficient to dispose of Mr. Tilden's
case.
The Omaha Herald Geo. L. Miller
editor referring to an article of oura
In relation to Union soldiers voting
for Tile"n says :
"Who is this editor of tho rotten
sheet at Browuville? What part did
he take in the war that heshould now
be so anxious about the record of sol
diers who choose to vote for Tilden
and reform?"
Wo can inform the -editor of the
Herald of some things we did not do!
Wo were never run out of St. Joseph,
Mo., because being a rebel! We never
skulked in the rear of Steele's army
down in Arkansas stealing cotten!
We never was Sutler at Ft. Kearney
and forged the names of dead Union
soldiers to sutlers' orders and collect
ed tho money thereon ! These aro a
few things connected with the war
that wo did not do! Can George L.
Miller say as much ?
There is "something too much cf
this." Every day somebody or other
"comes out" for ouo candidate or the
other. In. nine oases out of ten, ev
erybody outside their own village
feels like saying, "Come out, if you
want to ; who cares ?" The last man
at least, the last heard from is Gen.
Geo. B. McClellan, and he is "coming
out" forTilden and Hendricks. Why
need ho "come out ?' If a man who
has always been a Democrat, and has
been houored with the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency, con
siders it necessary to state now that
he is going to vote for its nominees,
he must think that the party is in a
bad way,indeed.7Vtfctfc(pAfa Times.
The Omaha Herald never hiakes a
serious charge against a publio man,
or any other man, without being able
to prove it. Omaha Herald.
The Herald published an editorial
recently regarding ourself and Col.
Penick's regiment which it cannot
prove, and we hereby denounce the
editor of the Omaha Herald, G. L.

Of the sanguinary scenes being en
acted these times in the Black Hills
country, the following is reported:
On Saturday evening, Aug. 19th,
two miners of Deadwood went to hunt
for game, and when about four miles
east they caught a peaceable sneaking
around through the brush, and thev
shot at him, and it being late at night
they left him were he fell, for dead.
The next morning they went out to
find him. When they came olose up
to where the Indian lay, he raised his
gun with his left hand, his right arm
and both his legs being broken the
evening before, and shot the two men
named Lew. Mason, of Mich., and
Charles Holland of Sioux City, both
through the heart.

men were found dead in Buffalo Gap.
Cheyenne, Aug. 31. A courrier,
who left the camp of Crook and Ter
ry on the 20th, on the North Powder
river, arrived at Fort Fetterman to
night. The command was then on a
trail which was estimated contained
10,000 ponies. Their camp fires indi
cate seven distinct bauds. There is
reason to believe that the Indians are
almost destitute of food, as traces left
in the deserted camns indicated that
they are reduced to the extremity of I

to strike Sitting Bull in a few days.
Omaha, Aug. 21. A. A. Jones,
agent for Clark's pony express, from
Deadwood City, arrived atSidney this
morning. He brings in the report
that the Indians raided the road be
tween Deadwood and Custer, on the
20th, and killed Weston Smith, a min
ister, and three miners, named Brown,
Collins and Mason, carrying off their
stock. On the 22d they made a raid
on a party five miles south of Custer
City, and killed James Kidd, Samuel
Wallace, J. Willey and Thompson.
The Indians aro supposed to be the
northern Sioux from the hostilecamps,
who are now on their way to the
agencies. Jones say3 that the coun
try is full of Indians, that there is
no truth in the statement of Dead

A Democrat asks, "If Mr. Tilden is
so unpopular how was it that he was
elected Governor of New York over
Gen. Dix?" The Albany Times,
Democratic, explains it thus:
"Mr. Tilden was elected Gover
nor in 1S74, but the vote he received
indicated his personal unp)pularity
for it fell far short of tho Demooratio
vote polled six yeara before. He was
elected in spite of his unpopularity,
by-the abstention-of the Republicans,
who were disaffected toward Gen.
Dix. In a Presidential election the
Republicans will all vote for their
nominee.
Remember that the Albany Times
is a leading paper of New York and
now support Tilden simply because he
was nominated, and not that it be
lieves in ills honesty, his popularity
or his election.
We believe that in certain probable
contingencies Nebraska can be car
ried forTilden and Hendricks in No
vember next. Omaha Herald.
Will the editor of the Herald be
good enough to inform an anxious
publio what are the "probable contin
gencies" to which he alludes? We
understand from private sources that
it lias been represented by Democrats
resident in this county, that Senator
Tipton's going over to the enemy
was intended that he would take with
him a majority of the Republican
party not only in this county, but in
the State! Now, if it can be shown
that Tipton has taken a single indi
vidual with him in this county, or
any other in the State, "we'll give our
head for a foot-ball."
The Democratio idea of political
morality is well represented by a story
which is told in Hartford. It is told
that when the Connecticut delegation
to the Democratio National Conven
tion reached St. Louis they were at
once seized upou by tho anti-Tildeu
men of New York, who used every
argument against his nomination.
"Why," replied August Belmont,
"Tilden has bought up all the scatter
ed delegations. '
"Well," replied Senator Barnum,
unmoved, "it was with his own mon
ey, was it not?" Exchange.
Tilden was nominated because he
had plenty of money to run a cam
paign. This argument was use effectu
ally as his principal accomplishment.
The argument was that ho could buy
Tammany, secure New York and bo
probably secure his election,
In 1SG1 Tilden helped to frame the
plank of the National Copperhead
platform which declared the war for
the preservation of the Union a fail
ure. Tilden's Nebraska champion,
Miller, in a public speech delivered at
Omaha on the 30th day of September
of the same year, made the following
declaration :
"This Rebellion will never be put
down by xvar. Tf the Union is ever re
stored, it must be by concessions."

cerning newspaper slip announcing
that I would come into Indiana and
make speeches in advocacy of Hayes
aud Wheeler, and iuquiriug whether
the statement be correct, is just at
hand. la reply permit me to say that,

that,
notwithstanding tho tnrrns nf
the platform of the Republican party
and the letter of Governor Haves.
currency reform, as I understand and
have explained, can be more safely
intrusted to the Republican party
than to the Democratic.
My judgment is that It is wiser to
labor for the conversion of an honest
and avowed opponent than to hope
for fair and honest dealing at the
hands of a pretended friend whose
constant evidences of treachery com
pel you to fear that while embracing
you. and asking you, "How goes it
brother?" may put a stilletto under
your fifth rib meanwhile.
I remain, as ever, yours truly,
Wm. D. Kelly.
Destruction of Grasshoppers.
Minnesota has been sorely afflicted
with tho grasshoppers this year, and
what is worse still, the old 'hoppers
have laidtheir eggs and seem to threat
en another devastation next spring.
However, the St. Paul Pioneer gives
tho following cheering news:
There has heretofore been some talk
abouta parasite having been found ad
hering to the grasshoppers, which,
it was fondly hoped woud ultimately
exterminate that destructive insect.
Eearly in the spring several parties
forwarded to thi.s office specimens of
the 'hoppers, underneath whoso
wings could plainly be seen a little
bug, which, it was alleged, wassurely
killing the grasshoppers. It Is need
less to say this hope was never realiz
ed, and that no substantial relief was
furnished by any labors of the parasite
upon the live 'hopper". Now, howev
er, we have a different story to tell,
and there is almost positive evidence
to prove that a remedy is at hand in
the shape of an egg eating bug, which
is surely and certainly destroying all
the eggs laid by the grasshoppers this
year, thus insuring an exemption
for Minnesota from tho ravages of this
voracious and destructive insect next
year. This bug is of a deep red color,
about the size of a flea, or rather a
louse, resembling the latter somewhat
iu its shape and movements. Ex-Governor
Stephen Miller has forwarded
to President Drake, of the St. Paul &
Sioux City railroad, a box full of earth
whioh originally contained a mass of
grasshopper eggs, but which has beeu
transformed by these parasites into a
loose soil, mingled with the remnauts
of discolored egg-shells, with a mul
titude of the fat little red bugs pranc
ing around the surface apparently in
pursuit of something mora to eat.
Now, as to the utility aud complete
success of these bugs as destroyers of
the grasshoppers' eggs, there would
seem to be no doubt in the minds of
those who have given the subject a
general examination, as well as those
who have personally inspected their
mode of operation and the place where
they have already utterly destroyed
tho eggs laid by the 'hoppers a few
weeks ago.

Hendricks a Demagogue Proof.
His whole career Is full of demagog
ism aud dishonesty, but we will refer
to but one instance as a sample :
In a publio speech made at Laport,
Iud., July 26, 1872, Mr. Hendricks de
nounced President Grunt for having!
innrovpil the Northern P-ioifin Rail- I
approeu tue xNorinein racilio -"an-
ruuu uui giuuuug o,uuu,uuu ueiea ui
land to that company. He was fear
fully indignnnt over such awful pro
fligacy. When Senator Morton came
to reply to the speech, he pointed out
the fact that the bill granting theland
in question was passed in 1SU4, during
the first term of Mr. Lincoln's Admi
nistration, and was supported and
voted for by Thomas A. Hendricks as
Senator, who made tho following
remarks while the bill was ponding.
Mr. Hendricks said:
"The bill before the Senate proposes
to encourage the construction of a
very important railroad, to connect
the water of Lake Superior with the
water of the Pacific Ocean. Every
body can see at a glance that it is a
work of national importance. It pro
poses to grant lands iu a northern lat
itude, where, withouttheconstruction
of a work like that, tho lands are com
paratively without value to the Gov
ernment. No person acquainted with
the condition of that section of the
country supposes that there can be
very extensive settlement until the
Government shall encourage those
settlements bv the construction of
some work like this. I do not think
that a work of such national impor
tance ought to be embarrassed in its
passage through this body, and thro'
the House of Repe?entatives," &o.
Congressional OlobelSGG-4. p. 3,201.
He is now being sued, together with
his associate Directors in the Indla
noplia Water-works Company, for ap
propriating a large amount of the
bonds of that company without paying
for the same.
A "reform" paper down south, pub
lished at Brandon, Miss., rejoices as
follows over the Custer massacre :
"Sitting Dull," the chief sioux In
dians, has a summary way of dealing
with carpet-uaggers ami military
straps. He recently put to death two
qundred-odd bf them.
That is what thoy think of union
soldiers down there. And why do
they bo hate federal soldiers? Be
cause they fo3ter in most rancorous,
malignant memory the "lost cause,"
lost by the bravery and patriotism of
Federal soldiers. Yet Democrats
whine about Republican speakers
bringing ont the "bloody shirt.''
Gen. Wade Hampton, the rebel
cavalry general, who burned Colum
bia, 8. C. and then attempted to fas
ten the responsibility of the act on
Gen. Sherman and his soldiers has
been nominated as the Democratic
candidate for governor of South Car
olina. Ho is fair representative
southern democrat Grand Island
Times.
And a better man, as leader, than a
northern Democratio leader, for Ham
pton is a rebel yet and don't deny It,
and therefore consistent and true to
hi3 convictions; but a Northern
Democratic leader is a living lie, a
hypocrite, a domagogue, a shyster,
whose whole aim aud object is to de
ceive the people.
In Mississippi negroes must be Dem
ocrats to save themselves from the
vengenee-of the Democratic ku-klux.
Referring to this matter tho Herald,
published at Magnolia, Miss., says:
If tho negroes of Pike county de
sire to continue the amicable relation
now existing between them and the
whites, to have their rights respected
and to prosper, let them prove it by
organizing democratio clubs and by
voting for Tilden and Heudrickn.
To "con tinuetheamicable relation,"
they must be Democrats. "To have
their rigJits respected''' they must vote
tho Democratic ticket. To "prosper"
it must be at the sacrifice of voting as
free citizens. Through fear of violat
ed rights intimidated through dread
of the loss of property, and life, the
negro must go to the polls and vote
for Tilden aud Hendricks, whom they
would not vote for but for this fear.
We would rather be forever disfran
chised than to vote with or belong to
a party of such damnable practices.
On the 8th of July last the United
States grand jury, sitting at Oxford
Miss., made its report, statating,
among other things, "the fraud, in
timidation, and violence perpetrated
at the last election is without parallel
in the annals of history," but also
pointed out some of the defects in the
notional election law, and their fail
ures to find indictments in couuse
quence. Reviewing thi3 report the
Meridian (Miss.) Mercury 13 led to
say:
The lesson wo draw for our benefit
from this report aud action of this
packed jury is, that there is quite a
margin for "intimidation" between us
and tec can govern ourselves accord
ingly. As there is a defect in the election
law, they will "govern themselves
accordingly," and continue the prac
tice of intimidation, violence, and
like their standared hearer Tilden and
his ally Tweed, perpetrate frauds up
on the ballot box sufficient to curry
the election in that State. That is
pure unadulterated Democracy.
"Oh, yes 1 the democratic party is a
party of reform of one kind. One of
its "reforms," accomplished by the
democratic house, the past winter,
was that of discharging fifty-seven
uuion soldiers, the most of them crip
pled, from the offices' about the house
and putting democrats in their places,
forty-seven of that number having
been confederates."' Des Moines Reg

FOWLER FLY FAN!
TO THE PUBLIC.
HAVING purchased the solo right to the
"Fowler Patent Fly Fan," wo oUer the
Machines for sale through Agents and Mer
chants, with full knowledge and conlldence
that they will do what we claim for them.
The machine Is self-acting, keeps tiles off
the table, winds up into a ciock, and runs
about one hour and a half at eacli winding.
For convenience, a key is attached to the
case, so that It can be re-wound nt aur time,
and run as long as desired. It Is light and
portable, a perfect substitute for tho old fly
brush in the hands of a servant. It is orna
mental, and occupies less space on the table
than a castor. It has a beautiful brouzo base,
with the stem and projections nickel plated,
to which fans aro attached, which revolve
noiselessly, abovo tho head, with no Incon
venience to persons seated at tho table. It
tills u long endured want In the household,
and is io simple that a child can operate it.
Tho first cost is a permanent investment, as
It will last many-years. It has been adopted
in some of the llrst hotels and private fami
lies of the country, and wherever introduced
has given entire satisfaction. It Is easily set
on a bed or chair, to keep files off children
or the sick; and Is far preferable to net
work, being much cooler. To the invalid in
summer it will boa most welcome compan
ion and faithful sentinel, never weary. Files
frequent most where there is most to feed
on. Use Fowler's Patent Fly Fan to keep
them from the table, and they will leave tho
house; this is the best receipt yet given. Dot-
