Among other just and agreeable

A much needed improvement has

extends the right hand of fellowship
to the Independent as a companion

We are in receipt of a paragraph

T."
Piatte Cexteh, June 2S, 'S4.
Edctoe Jouhxai., Sir: In your
issue of June 25th, 15S4, your "Platte
Center Items" are signed "Logan the
Chief." I would like to know if yoar
correspondent has found his position
becoming so exalted on your staff
that he requires to have a name equal
to his position, or is it because he
does not wish to be known as the
writer of the items referred to above.
In either case I think it bad tadte to
sign himself "Logan, the Chief." I
presume he has a perfect right to take
a nom de plume, but there is some
danger in signing another person's
name to an effusion ot one's own.
However, I will submit this point to
the consideration of " Logan the
Chief,." and pass on to others which,
not only concern myself, bat every
other republican in this vicinity.
"Logan, the Chief bless the mark
says ''republicans are all getting new
hats and democrats are looking
around for some one to slaughter. I
wonder if Sammy J. will consent to
run." If republicans get new hats I
have have an idea they pay far them,
and far from noticing any murderous
or blood-thirsty feelings amongst our
democratic friends, they seem on the
whole to think well of the republican
nominations. Party feeling has nev
er heretofore degenerated into ill
feeling in this community On the
contrary I would wish it distinctly
understood that the best feeling has
ahvay prevailed between both the
republicans and democrats here. Both
parties have strenuously avoided mud
throwing or abasing each other and I
hope that it will not be commenced
by the republican party. We are
each ot us upholding principles that
we conscientiously believe to be for
the best interests of the country at
large, and we have a right to respect
the feelings and opinions of others, it
we expect them to do so by us.
There are as honorable, patriotic and
just men in the democratic party as
there are in the republican, and I do
not think it best to find fault with
them because they cannot see through
the spectacles that suit our eyes. I
regret very much that "Logan, the
Cbief," referred in such a slighting
manner to several of our most ener
getic business men ; he ought to re
member that the more business that
is transacted, the better for all. Our
insurance men seem to be all doinir
well. The people of Platte Center
like to encourage men of energy and
enterprise to come and make their
home among them. "Ted" and both
his partner? are welcome and as many
more as we can get, if they are as
good fellows as he is, be they lawyers,
doctors or the much-abused insurance
agents. If I am not very much mis
taken "Logan the Chief" met with
every encouragement and considera
tion when he first came here, from
democrats as well as republicans, and
therefore he should not be the one to
start the blaze.
We are willing to accept the choice
of the people next November, but we
are not willing to quarrel with our
friends and neighbors because we
cannot persuade them to see things
from our point of view. I will close
by apologizing for this long letter
and by reminding "Logan the Chief"
"That those who live in glass houses
should not throw stones."

The business and normal school
of Beardsley &: Panteon, advertised
elsewhere in the Jovrsxl, opened its
summer session Monday of last week,
under favorable auspices. A com
modious, airy and well-lighted hall,
close by the public park, and near
the heart of the city, makes a pleasant
room for the pupils, and the instruc
tors are practical, thorough educa
tors, who believe in no humbug
devices. From a lon personal ac
quaintance with Mr. Paulson, we can ,
cheerfully commend him and his
methods of instruction to those young
men or women who desire to pre
pare themelves for the actual work
of teaching or engaging In business.

Mr. T. W. Atkins, Girard, Kan.,
writes : "I never hesitate to recom-1
mend your Electric Bitters to my j
enstomers, they give entire satis- j
taction and are rapid sellers." Electric j
Bitters are the purest and best
medicine known and will positively !
cure Kidney and Liver complaints, j
Purify the blood and regulate the
bowels. No familv can afford to be i
without them. They will save hun- j
dreds of dollars in doctor's bills every
year. Sold at fifty cents a bottle by .
