The whole country will be gratified
with the decision of the New York court
sustaining the validity of Mr. TildenV
will. The foundation of a great free
library was perhaps , the best possible
use to which Mr. Tilden could have de
voted his wealth. It will be the means
of storing up the intellectual harvest of
the whole world for the benefit of whom
soever shall hunger for it. A nobler
'
monument to a great man s memory
could hardly be ennceived of.
The effect of prohibition iu Iowa is
beginning to be seen in the reduced pop
ulation of the penitentiaries in that
state. During September there were but
twent3'two commitments , the smallest
number in thirteen years. The number
of commitments for that month was one
in 7,550 of the population , against one
in 5,500 for the preceding sixteen years.
Iowa now has , it is said , a smaller per
centage of population m penitentiaries
than any other state in the Union.
There were 2.050,000 tons of steel
rails made last year in the United
States. This is more than the quantity
made m Great Britain during the s ; me
period. Now the free traders always
assumed that if we made no steel rails
we could buy them just as cheaply iu
the English market as we can tmy them
iu that market while we are producing
them hpre on this immense scale. Any
man possessing common sense ought to
be able to realize that this assumption
is absurd. Who , that understands any-
tliuig of the laws of trade , does not know
that if we had called on England last
year to manufacture double the quantity
of steel rails that she actually produced ,
their price would have greatly increased
not only in England but throughout the
world.

Wheat has taken a tumble in the Chicigo

We urge every republican to whom these

the jury the people of the laud. We are
strong in the faith that they have the best in
terests of the country at heart , and knowing
their intelligence and inclination to act up to
that knowledge , we have no hesitancy or fear
iu submitting the cause. The verdict can 't

dence. Yote straight.

The Poultry Record gives this method of
liming eggs for long keeping : To one pint of
salt and one pint of fresh lime add four gal.
Ions of boiling water. When cold put in ston < . •
jars. Then with a dish let down your fresh
eggs into it , tipping the dish after it fills with
the fluid , so that they will roll out without
cracking the shell , for if the shell be cracked
the. eggs will spoil. Put the eggs in when
ever you have them fresh.

Then supper was served and it was a good
one and plenty of it. It was the intention or
the ladies who served the supper , to treat all
alike. The bouse was crowded and every per
son seemed to be iu good humor and I think
everybody had a good time. One pleasing
feature of the evening wusthesongby the two
little girls , Pauline and Mahel Esher ; one Is G
years old , the other 5. It was the first time
they ever tried to sing in public , and thoy sung
the song twice without making a blunder.
Mrs. George Frederick's creurn cako wafl a
daisy in three respects , in beauty , size and
quality ; everybody enjoyed it. Kutliie and
Annie Grundy sold popcorn bulls and realized
75centB which they put into theSunday school
treasury , and they deserve credit for the same.
After supper was over , and the Sunday school
social finished. Mr. T. M. Helm of McCook , ud-
dr ssed the audience on the U. L. side of the
question. He spoke mildly and intelligently
and a nice feuture of his speech was that he
stated his own side of the great political issues
of the day , without maligning or condemning
everybody else's Bide. The people wero all
well pleaBod with his remarks. The people in
this community would do well to meet in this
social manner often. Wo hope that the Sun
day school at the Frederick school house will
continue to bo a success and that in the f uturo
in may be said to be a neighborhood enclosed
in the walls of brotherly love and good feel

Come , let us ponder ; It is At
Born of the poor , borr to the poor.
The poor of purse , the poor of wit.
Were first to find God's opened door-
Were first to climb the ladder round by round
That tell from heaven's door unto the ground.
God's poor cane first , the very first !
God's poor were first to see. to hear.
To feel the light of heaven burst
Full on their faces. Far or near.
His poor were first to follow , first to fall !
What if at last his poor stand first of all ?

The telegraph informs us that the democrats
are taking another poll of the voters iu Indi
ana. This is the third time within the present
canvass that the campaign committee of that
party has begun an enumeration of the citi
zens of the Hoosier state regarding their par
ty prefereucer ! . Dich of the two preceding
counts , uccorJing to reports published at the
time , revealed a decided majority for the re
publicans , and there is no good reason to be
lieve that the one now under way will tell a
different story. In fact there is a stronirprob-
ability thai the present computation will be
more unfavorable to the democracy than
either of those already made.
Judne Greslmm could not consistently or
witii propriety take the stump to advocate the
election of the republican candidates , but he
has done the next best thing iu having public
ly announced his desire that they shall be
elected , and iu udvisiug his Indiana friends by
personal letter not to play the mugwump iu
this campaign , but to work for the republican
ticket. Uopublicuns everywhere who honor
JudgeGreshum should give heed to this ad vice ,
which is given in all honesty and sincerity.
The judge is thoroughly a republican , and as
such he heartily desires the success of the
party.
Neither through money nor through passion
ate appeals to party prejudice can those ele
ments in whose power the decision lies be
brought to change the judgment they have
once formed , or to desert the camp of the en
emy. It Is what is called the silent vote that
decides at the last moment : and there is no
doubt that on the 6tli duy of November many
a man will cast bis ballot into the urn without
having indicated beforehand whether he is in
spired for Harris , n or believes in Cleveland.

Iu answer thereto I wou'd atato that under (
tho provisions of section 115 of chapter- . on- m (
titled elections , ull such schemes to decelvo w II
the electors are declared to bo fraudulent. nil
Section 110 of same chapter makes It a crlm- 9 j

be printed with a designated heading , contain- m II
my u immo or names nut found on tho regulur in II

tton to knowingly pyddlo or distribute atiy such Mil
ballot. * wlfl
The stututo is remedial , and to arrive at tho | SI |
intention of the law makers wo must consider , mM \
the old law. tho mischief , and the remedy.'M
With this rule In view there can bo no doubt ?
but what the Intention of tho law makers wus f B
to avoid any deception that might tie praotlo- i H
• • d on the elector. And I would deem It tho H
duty of tho eanvuBirtng board to ref use to count
the vote tor anyone whose iiamo Is printed or H
pasted iu print upon tho ticket , unless the H
namo of that person is round upon the regular 9J
ballot baring such heading. flj
The ticket sent mo for Inspection headed H
"Ucpuhllt'Hn Ticket , " and the names of presl-
dentlal electors are thereon under tho head of H
• Electors. " Now. under tho word "State" on H
on such ballot to printtlic words "Democratic H
Candidate foi'Goveriior. "or"Prohlbltiou Can- H
dldate for Governor. " or "Union Labor CuudI- H
date for Governor , " or uny other olllcer , and H
following thereafter a mime not found on the H
rctrulur ballot of the party of such heading , in. H
in my opinion , an Illegal vote for such candi- M
date for governor or such other ollice. |
Tho heading is "Ucpuhllcuu Ticket. " Tho
words "democratic. " "prohibition , " or "union H
latior. " candidate ror governor , as printed on H
the ticket , is a designation of the olllcer to bo H
voted for : a name found thereon , othcrthun |
the name found on the regular ballot , is but a M
scheme or device to mislead , ami contrary to M
law. The only method by which such namo |
can tin legally counted. Is Tor the elector , or B
"onie other person , to erase the name found |
tliprcou , and write iu tin ; plucc thereof the |
name of the person the elector wishes to vote |
lor. Any other method in in my opinion illegal. |

The growth of Texas has been so phenomon- H
al during the past decadn that It is estimated H
that the next census will give that state a pop * |
ulation which will entitle It to at least twenty H
members of congress. It is claimed that at |
the present rate or development it will have a H
greater representation in the national Ieglsla * H
turu In 1000 than In the stato of Now York. M
The expansion iu the population of the western |
states within t be lustdecade furnishes u record H
of growth that has never been equaled in tho H

all nations to the boundless resources of tho H
