ACCORDING to the New York Trib
une the independents are getting so
mad thai they forget they arc Utterly
Good and are calling the straight repub
licans very vulgar names , such as
"rowdies , " "bummers" and "riffraff. "
Even an Utterly Good man should en
deavor to hold himself in when he feels
the angry passions running riot through
his blood vessels.
WE are pleased to note that the York
Conference college has conferred upon
our old friend , Elder T. B. Lemon , the
degree of D. D. The divinity of which
that excellent minister is now the titled
exponent may not be so learned and
abstruse as the theology of some preten
tious men further east , but it js'of the
essence of the spirit a kind that will
ring when dropped on the counter.

IT is beginning to be whispered very
loud that "ourVal"hasa gubernatorial
bee in his bonnet , a circumstance which ,
if true , would go a long way toward ex
plaining his surprising conduct in declin
ing a renomination for congress before it
was offered him. We have had some
doubts all along .about Yal giving up
public life , voluntarily , and turning
farmer. But we shall see what we fhali
see. Ord Quiz.
THE editor of the Atwood Citizen
takes this manly "tumble to himself. "
Having had the conduct of our local
land officers misrepresented to him , he
does the amende honorable as follows :
We regret having done the officers at
McCook an injustice. Our information
we deemed correct , and are glad that it
is all false. Our friend , J. E. Cochran ,
formerly of Oberlin , but now of Mc
Cook , writes us that the statement that
the land officers at McCook have ever
spoken disparagingly of this section of
country is a "barefaced lie. " On the
contrary , they have ever spoken well of
it , arid referred settlers to the uniform
success whicli the farmers of Herndon
have had in raising crops.
MR. BLAINE is a man whose force of
character compels partisanship ; those
who admire him , worship him ; those
who hate him , fear him. This is inevit
able. The "man whom his party deems
a hero willinspire just as strong feelings
amongst his enemies in the other direc
tion. The one phase of character which
awakens no very powerful emotions one
way or the other is the one which is of
all others'most fatal in a. leader , and
most absent from the character of James
G. Blaine. It is called vacillation. No
wonder that his opponents are afraid of
him. No wonder that weak-kneed re
publicans shrink from the path that
he treads so boldly. He is the ablest
statesman in America , and the bravest.
He never held a principle that he was
afraid of i and he never shrank from
its logical consequences. Of course he
lias been maligned as few men have.
He possesses a power that makes him
dangerous to faj # enemies. His greatness
has invited attsdk And he has been
the shining mark thafc ficaodal loves.
JIalicious slander has been poured out
srjwu him in torrents , but to no purpose.
Hasfetegrity has made him.proof.againet
attack. Tfee
WiiE.v'it come'ffto "enthusiasm of tlftf
'crowd Ben Butler beats the whole can-
didatorial outfit now in sweating ex
pectancy at Chicago. The labor asso
ciations , the antimonopolists and the
grcenbackcrs are there in force and they
arc fairly making the welkin ring witli
their shouts for the hero of New Orleans.
The town is said to be in a perfect up
roar over him. lie is a bigger man
than Honri Watterson. Ben is regarded
as the great protectionist mogul and
the fierce Ulysses whose strength is the
dread of the democracy. He assumes
a loftiness that is not consonant with
his surroundings. HisJ contempt for the
other "statesmen" is something decid
edly cooling and refreshing. creating
coldness in the hot politics of that city.
He is reported full of fight , defiant and
yet exceedingly hopeful getting into
some sort of power that will compel
his nomination. Being backed by the
laboring people , he is a protectionist
and hence will have no help or counte
nance'from the free traders , but this
is way Kelly and -Tammany Hall are
covertly doing what they dare for him.
They can see no hope for them in Cleve
land's nomination and will be ferninst
the reform governor. We are compelled
to sympathize with Cleveland , because
it seems too hard that his "reform"
ideas are to be repudiated. It is true
he has neither the culture , education ,
breadth of mind , experience or ability
of any kind for a presidential candidate ,
however well he may have done as a
sheriff or mayor , and hence should not
be presented to the people as a 'candi
date. But the fact that the workers
in the party are repudiating him shows
that they are doing it because of their
opposition to his reform notions. The
fact that Butler has many prominent
democratic supporters on account of his
protection ideas makes it clear that the
tariff ( juestion is the rock on which the
party is liable to strike and go to pieces.

ran a short distance and stopped. Mr.
Birdsall does not seem to be fully sat

him , or the ground flew up and struck

former is the case. He is in no doubt ,
however , about the location of two pain

BONDVILLE :
Such warm weather is very trying 01

The rains of last week were just in
the niche of time. '
Grain is fast ripening to the harvest.
Already some farmers are at work.
Ed. Mack was a guest of A. J.
Brent , Saturday.
Boudville celebrated at Indianola ;
all report an enjoyable season.
Mrs. Adams and son of Indianola
visited the family of A. S. Boughton ,
last week.
The store has just been treated to a
coat of plaster. Mr.'Armstrong has
been doing the work.
Joseph Junker came in from the
county capital with a new harvester ,
John Peake with a mower.
Services were held in the new church ,
Sabbath. When seated it will be a ver)1
comfortable little affair. Has a very
pretty location. The next quarterly
meeting is lo convene there , August
26th. Doubtless the dedication services
will occur at the same time.
One of Bondville's stockmen has con
ceived of a plan for the preservation of
the health of sheep , when so rudely
divested of their coat. He catches his
sheep , takes the scissors and cuts a
small portion of wool from one side ,
then turns it over and cuts about the
same amount from the other side , then
( "There go sheeny , their is no danger
of your taking cold now , " ) and so on
each day. He vouches for his plan and
commends it to the notice and perusal
of all sheep raisers.
We were called to Cedar Bluffs , a
few days ago , and while there learned
of a very sad death which had occurred
there a short time previous. A young
man ( whose name we did not learn )
from Ohio had come west a short time
before , taken claims , and gone to work
in the mill at C. B. On the evening
of his death , in company with the miller
and son ( aged 8 or 9 years ) , went for a
bath in the dam. ' The boy was the first
to enter the water , followed by the
young man , who 'tis supposed was seiz
ed with cramp , went right down , and
'ere the miller could reach him , he was
drowned. Among his possessions was
found a very encouraging letter from
his sister ( of recent date ) telling him
not to become homesick or disheartened
for they would visit him in the fall.
What must have been the feelings of
that sister , when ( instead of a letter
from his own hand ) she received the
sad intelligence of his untimely end just
at the verge of prosperity.

CORNELL.
This vicinity was visited by a heavy
rain on the evening of the 3rd , doing
the crops an immense amount of good.
The hail fell so gently that the damage
to the crops was small.
The morning of the Fourth found
things a little-moist , but did not inter
fere in the least with the enjoyment of
the occasion. The speaking was splen
did , the American eagle soaring to un
known heights. The Declaration of
.Independence was well rendered by
Constable Pollard. The Marshall of
the day , Frank Pollard , was the right
man for the position , and his affability
and courtesy made him popular. The
call to dinner was welcome , and the
crowd set to with a hearty good will to
dispose of the excellent repast spread
out before them. This department was
under the management of Mrs. Shurlcy
and Mr. Neifert. Well , the crowd was
large , everybody enjoyed himself , and
all wished that the "day we celebrate"
was of more frequent occurrence. The
writer thought of ye editor , but you
were too far off to catch any of the
choice cake and pie we would like to
have thrown you. W. B. NEIFEUT.
THE Springfield Republican says
that college degrees are getting lee
cheap to be valued very highly , as
the honors of our colleges are allotted
by boards of trustees , made up of the
butcher , the baker and the candle
stick-maker , and such bodies of course
make up the highest kind of an aca
demic court. Then , too , the power
to grant degrees exercises a powerful
fascination for the men intrusted with
it , and they sometimes resent sugges :
tions to the effect that economy in
the distribution is desirable from
every point of view. This is a big
country , its cpjlegep are many and
struggling and the tempjtation Jo
advance the material interests of
institutions through the more or less
open barter of degrees is not always
resisted. All these causes and many
more combine to make honors indeed
easy , and reform in this matter comes
very slowly. Bee.
THE first democratic national con
vention was held in 1832 , when Martin
Van Buren was nominated for vice-
president , Andrew Jacksou having
been already selected for president.
Prior to this time Dominations had
been made by legislative and congres
sional caucuses. The first national
convention to select a candidate for
the presidency was held by the anti-
masons at Baltimore , in 1881. The
convention plan was soon afterwards
adopted by other parties. The two-
thirds rule , which prevails in demo
cratic ; "conventions , was adopted in
18B5\vhen , Van Buren was nominated.
BEKOKH the senate adjourned , Gen
eral Logan took occasion to submit
some official letters and documents
disapproving the slanderous charges
of little McAdooand big Bill Springer
on the floor cf the house concerning
the alleged attempt of himself and
others to grab a part of the Zuni reser
vation. The general not only demon-
O * /
strated that he had no interest what
ever in the pre-emption of the lands
mentioned , under the desert land act
but further that the said lands , bj
whomsoever pre-empted , were not a
the time any part of the 1mlian reser
vation , and were legally open to an }
one who chose to pre-empt them.
Afterwards , by the order of the Presi
dent , on application of the Zunis , the
entry was cancelled , and the land
were added to the Zuni tract.
