Harper's Weekly has now become a compound as destitute of moral character or intellectual stimulus as Bourbon whiskey. Instead of being sold with pabulum that appeals to the intellect from the nows-stands, it should be dispensed at the bar along with mixed drinks calculated only to elate tho depraved and impart a stimulus to animalism. From its first editorial line to its last wood cut it ia depraved, and is seduously reserving its columns for tho propagation of every political lie. It seems to think no depth of stolid ignorance to bo so brutal that it can not authorize Nast to attribute just that mental condition. to the whole American people, or to numerous and respectable portions of them. In its last number it has a cartoon representing Mr. Blaine as bowing to a supposed Western farm er, who is pictured as sitting on i stump with an ax by his side, wearing knee boots, with pantaloons inside, and with his sleeves rolled up above his elbows, reading Mr. Blaine's let ter of acceptance. The West is a prairie country, and in very few portions of it can farmers sit on Etumps. Nor doea the Western farmer invariably wear his sleeves rolled up to his elbows or his panta loons iuBido his boots, inveterate as the tradition to that effect may be in New York City. The western farmer is not a boor nor a serf, but a culti vated man, and when ho sits down to read Mr. Blaine's letter of acceptance bo is likely, as a rule, to bo as well dressed as Mr. Blaine Jb when ho sits down to writo it. Western farmers are not paupers, nor dependent upon anybody. Most-of them have more capital than Curtis or Napt, and a few of them employ more capital and not larger returns than tho Harpers themselves. When au Illinois farmer pays a sum equal to two and a half years of the salary of Curtis or Nast for a calf, ho does not look upon a man who helps make a ten-cent week ly newspaper as a man who knows everything. He does not derive hiB ideas of statesmanship from cartoons any more than lie would buy a calf on a photograph. Hundreds of thousands of Western farmers will read Blaine's letter in their libraries instead of sitting on a st ump. If the Westhad been as poor in purse and as ignorant as Harper's cartoons would represent it, it would not have nominated Blaine. Power is never associated with poverty! The West nominated Blaine over the heads of a great many people at the East because tho West is rich. We are no nearer to "mother earth" and the toiler than are the dudes of Franklin square. If in such pictures Nast ex presses the idea he really has of West ern farmers he had better get down from his stool and expend enough of his wages to find out how much larger dividends certain of our Western farmers get than his employers obtain. Meanwhile, in the cartoon the West ern farmer is made to say : "So it is your protection and your twenty years in Congress that mako the soil bo rich !" The stupidity which is here attrib uted to the Western farmer is sublime. Mr. Blaine has Bhown in his letter of acceptance that the increase iu wealth in twenty-four years of protection exceeded all the wealth in the country in 1860 twofold. There has been no corresponding increase in the fertility of the Boil during that period. In deed, there has been in many places a decline. The sources of two-thirds of the wealth thus created are not in any degree agricultural and have nothing to do with fertility. Moreover, the Western farmer is familiar with the Btory of fertility iu soils and knows that it may bo created where it is wanted or may be gradually deported and lost. He knows that the true source of the prosperity of the coun try is not tho fertility of its soil, but tho activity of its whole societary movement, including its exchanges, manufactures, commerce, arts, inven tions, capital and labor, production, distribution, aud consumption. If it were iiioro fertility that makes prosperity, then as there was more fortuity in the soil when the Indians left it unfilled than has ever been iu it since, thero ought to have been more wealth and a greater consumption of wealth among tho Indinns than now by the whites. On the contrary, tho richest of the Indians were pooror than our paupers. Flow long a pub lication can deserve contempt as pro foundly as Harper's Weekly docs and continue to live is now an interesting question. The distillation and sain of gin is quite as intellectual a business as it now is to conduct such a iiowh paper. Gin might produce illusions and hallucinations which those who imbibe it would mistake for exalta tion of spirit, just as these wretched slanderers might produce a form of crazy hate for things they don't under stand on the part of a few ill-informed mortals, which they might mistake for the spirit of righteous reform. People, however, have got to be too essentially wicked to bo ol much value before they can enjoy tho low intoxi cation produced by this quality of illustrated gin. fvler-Occan. It is generally believed by cIobo observers who have watched the political manojuvcrings of tho David City ring, in years paRt, that a sly scheme is being worked up to capture Butlor county's congressional district delegation, to bo used for "trading" purposes. It is stated that the dele gation, if secured, is to ho placed in charge of J. C. Iiobbcrts, and that he will appear as a real, live candidate for Congress. But the delegation is, however, to have the ex-Governor Nanco flavor. This scheme must bo pretty thoroughly organized, as each member of tho ring will give you the same answer, when interrogated with reference to the congressional candi dates. They claim that they have no interest in the matter, and do not care who secures the delegation, when we know there is a great deal of sly work being done by the David City ring. Let every Republican voter of Butler connty who is opposed to ring rule, attend his township caucuB. The other fellows will be there, and "don't you ever forget it." David City Republican. Citizenship of the republic must be the panoply and safeguard of him who wears it The American citizen, rich or poor, native or naturalized, white or colored, must everywhere walk 6ecure in his personal and civil rights. The republic should never accept a lesser duty, it can never as sume a nobler one, than the protection of the humblest man who owes it loy alty protection at home, and protec tion which shall follow him abroad, into whatever land he may go upon a lawful errand. James G. Blaine. Ex-Minister Sargent recently said there arc twenty American girls at the University of Zurich, Switzer land, studying the higher branches of science and tlltiog themselves for fctore nsefalneea. Wait a, Chi ge. Ym?" Judge Breunan of Sioux City, an Irishman, has been a democrat twenty years; and will vote for Blaine. In a speech delivered the other day to a Blaine and Logan Club at Sioux City he said : "Gentlemen, all of you have known, me as a democrat, and if I appear on this platform without good reasons for the faith that is in me, I am not an honest man. I came to this country twenty years ago, in reconstruction times, and whether the southern peo ple were right or wring, they had my sympathy, for they were down. I voted for Greeiey, Tilden and Han cock, and then in 1880 I began to ask the reason. I began to think. Now a German, or a Dane, or Scotchman, or a negro, or a Norwegian every body but an Italian laughter has the right to reason. What set mo to thiuking was this. T. Bailley Potter, member of parliament and member of the Cobdcn club, came over to plant a branch of his club in this country. A Sioux City man is a member of that club. Laughter.J Tho membership of this club includes 200 members of parliament, a number of lords so called and men interested in pushing tho sale of English goods. The naturalization of the principles of this club moans American markets for English goods. The coming of T. Bailey Porter and his Cobdcn club mado mo begin to think, but I con tinued to voto the democratic ticket. Iu 1SS3 I so far broke tho habit as to vote tho republican ticket. Ap plause. Now in 1884 the question comes, Blaine or Cleveland? And the answer is plain and clear Blamo. Applause, Tho republican party, we aro told, has burdened tho coun try with a surplus of $100,000,000 a year, aud that nothiug can savo us but a democratic president. With states as large as ompires, inland lakes that arc seas, 50,0001000 of prosperous peo ple, the country dotted with shops and homes, a home on every hill and a farm in every valley, with no paup ers but those who aro so by misfor tune or their own iniquity the sun of God never looked down on a land so well fixed as this. Who is it wants a change ? I don't want a change, do you? Cries of "No, no." I went to Chicago to see who wanted a change, and I found them there from Kentucky and Missouri. I wonder if these states want a change why they don't send a tariff senator to congress for a change. Those that clamor most for change themselves never change." The David City Republican notes that certain manipulators of repub lican politics in Butler county will endeavor to give the congressional delegation from there a Nanco flavor. Tho Republican party of Nebraska is fast moving away from the political swamps where the ex-governor was wont to pitch his tent Pretended friendship is the poison with which many a would-be groat man has un wittingly committed political suicide, and ex-senator Paddock has many friends in tho second district and the state at large who would not take kindly to the ex-governor's aspira tions. Besides, tho plain people of this country are desirous that Ne braska should have in the lower houso one or two men anyhow who would put themselves in line with General Van Wyck, who has dono so well in the Scuato in expressing the wishes of the general public iu re gard to transportation aud industrial subjects. Let us have a congressman or two alive to these vital interests, and through whom the hand of monopoly can not paes; men who will stand Arm as a rock against en croachments on the people's just rights. However good looking a man cx-govnruor Nanco may bo, ami however successful a "rustler" he showed hinmelf iu gutting the offices ho held, it is very safo to say that his administration of slate affairs showed no marked opposition to railroad demands for legislative favors. The North Bend Flail shows a little anxiety as to whether E. K. Valentine is really a candidate for congress, and does not fully uuder staiid what all this clamor means. The Flail further puts forth the fol lowing conundrum: "was he in earnest, or was he playiug with the credulity of the men who were his friends and had faithful!' fought for him on stubbornly-contested fields? We supposed that the gentleman was in earnest, and from that day wo have had no thought of E. K. Valen tine for the position. Some of the newspaper men who know the gen tleman best, however, seem to think that he is still in the race." And so on. If the Flail man will burnish the tablet of his memory he will re collect that Mr. Valentine's withdrawal was with a decided proviso, for ho said that ho would bo ready to answer any call of tho dis trict or the "state. Of courBo if the district "calls" him, why shouldn't ho bo a candidate? The Chicago News, which has been very strongly opposed to Mr. Blaine, has in a recent issue condescended to do him justice iu the following state ment: It appears from a further examina tion of the Congressional Record that the inferenco drawn from the discrep ancy between the Mulligan memoran dum of letters and those read by Mr. Blaine on the floor of congress that he suppressed four of them is unwar ranted by the facts. One of these was written by Fisher to Blaine, another was a memorandum of Fisher's, a third was not found by Mr. Blaine in the package, and the fourth is proba bly covered by one read under a mis taken date. This exonerates Mr. Blaine from the charge ofwillfnlly suppressing the whole of any letters written by him. It is a statement cheerfully made by the Daily News, which is only anxious that the facts shall be known. A great many people of these United States think it not worth while to attend primary conventions of their party, believing that their in dividual influence does not amount to much, but after a convention has been held they will then begin to make their complaints. If they would reason with themselves about this way of doing they conld not help con cluding that it is altogether wrong. Make your voice and voto as effective as possible at every stage of the pro ceeding, from the very outset to the )aat boor oi election day. "I IOK't Ben. Butler's speech to the national democratic convention whon it was about to adopt a platform of principles upon which it proposed to ask the voters of this country to again place that party in power, is worthy to be read several times even by tho men who tried to disconcert him and failed. Among the things which he said were these closing words: "I want to call your attention back to the main thing, because all these other matters are matters of slight consequence in comparison. .Bring your minds once moro back to this tariff platform. Tell them this to-night that the workingmen and women of this country to-night, whether wo will or will nut protect them no, not protect, but cheerish and foster like a mother her child, the laboring mon and women of this country tell them that aud you will sweep the couutry. Rcfuso to tell them that aud they, sorrowful that the Democratic party has deserted them, will go thoir way sadly to thu workshop, aud remain there on election day." It is scarcely necessary to say to tho intelligent reader who has followed tho subsequent pro ceedings of that body that they re fused to tell thera "that," and tho consequenco will not be as the Gen eral predicts that tho voters will stay at home on election day, but that they will go forth in largo numbers aud voto with tho men who are de termined to "protect, cherish and foster, liko a mother her child, the laboring mon and women of this country," and the interests that enable them to bo their own masters. Kcatacky lilood. Election difficulties in Kentucky cause several deaths and a number of injuries. Iu the race for sheriff at Lexington at tho court house, a dis pute arose between Geo. Stowart and J. G. Gccrs, resulting in Geers shoot ing Stewart through the head, killing him instantly. Another row occurred between Jack Cleary and Dick Murphy, in which Cleary was disemboweled and has since died. It grew out of an old trouble between them. At Morehcad an altercation be tween Wm. Trumbo aud H. G. Price, Price was slightly wounded. Solo mon Bradly killed Ed. Jemmerman, fatally wounded John Martin and Allen Sutton was seriously hurt. Bradly was a prominent citizen and was trying to stop a fight when he was shot. From Enterprise comes the report that R. M. Griffy shot two unknown men aud received a shot in the head. All supposed to be fatal. j.he west romi republican is generally supposed to reflect pretty accurately tho sentiments of E. K. Valentine on the congressional situa tion. Referring to Clarkson's can didacy it closes with, "It is really too bad that the boys c.innot all have the privilege of walking up the capitol steps with an M. U. commission in their pockets." "The boys" began to know Valentino shortly after the election two years ago, and cau hardly bo deceived now by any at titude he may take in tho present nominating campaign in this dis trict. It is very safe to assume that none of them along this railroad will sacrifice themselves again, for his especial benefit. Great excitement prevailed tho other evening at Washington City occasioned by the fall of a large por tion of tho United States hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, between Third and Fourth streets. Tho entire rear wing, SO feet in length and three stories high, without a moment's warning, crumbled and fell with a tremendous crush, burying several persons in the ruins. Annie Dickson, a chamber-maid, Mrs. Beldcn, wife of the proprietor of the hotel, and Ernest Snooks, were rescued all more or less injured but not fatally. It is feared that others who are under the debris arc detid or will be beforo they can be fouud. The Wcstliche Post, Carl Schurz's paper, has returned to the Republican fold. In this actiou the paper says: "To-day we do not find that wo aro justified iu makiugany guarantco that a Democrat, bo his name Grover Cleveland, even, would present an uncompromising front under all cir cumstances, to the menacing on slaught of JJio Southern brigadiers. We have criticised tho Republican ticket thus far freely, but admit now with equal freedom that wo have erred. Wo expected of -the other party what tho Republican party can best perform. Republicans can do no better than to remain true to their ticket." The attempt of the Democratic party to straddle on the tariff is illus trated by the Btory of the young man who was examined for a school teacher. Having failed to answer any question satisfactorily to the com mittee in tho ordinary English branch os, he requested them to try him in astronomy. When asked whether the sun revolved around the earth, or the earth around the sun, he replied that ho was in the habit of teaching both ways, to suit tho views of the inhabi tants of the district. Blue Valley Blade. uThe principle of the public regula tion of railway corporations is a wise and salutary one for the protection of all classes of people, and we favor legislation that shall prevent unjust discrimination and excessive charges for transportation, and that shall secure to the people and to the rail ways alike the fair and equal protec tion of the taws." Republican Plat form. A San Francisco paper advertises for "a minister of tho gospel who can preach two strictly original sermons every Sabbath one in the morning for saints, and oue iu the evening for sinners." Hon. William Purcell, editor of the Union, at Rochester, N. Y., has been granted a leave of absenco until after November, at his own request, becauFO he says he cannot with service to tho party, credit to tho paper, or honor to himself, conduct tho Union during the present political campaign. Ho has also seut his resignation as candidate for pres idential elector to Chairman Man niug, of the democratic state committee. The editor of the Schuyler Herald has turned prophet, or something ot the port. Listen: "Washington's chair in the White House will never be disgraced by Blaine. He never can secure votes enough to elect him President." The democratic electors, relying upon what their prophet says, will now bo sure to place their bets ; what they have been needing all along was somebody in the prophet liuo to brace their ncrvos. They will now know there is no un certainty about tho result. Rev. Wm. McCandlish died at his residenco in Omaha on the morning of the 4th, from paralysis of tho heart. Ho was educated at Washington Col lege, Pa., aud was ordained as a min ister of tho Presbyterian denomina tion in 18157, aud has been actively engaged in that sorvico and in the Bible causo over since. He leaves a wife and three children, residents of Nebraska, where Mr. McCandlish has made iiis homo almost continuously since 1858. A severe shock of earthquake lasting ten seconds occurred Sunday afternoon iu New York alarming citizeus at a terrible rate by rocking buildings, making tho cars jump, causing people to frantically rush into the streets in a state or pauic. The shock extended to Long Branch, Philadelphia, New Haven, Boston, Portland, Me., and into some parts of Maryland, especially tho vicinity of Baltimore. Queen Victoria sends her hearty congratulations to the President and people of the United States on the rescue of Lieut. Grccly and the sur vivors of the Artie expedition. Pres ident Arthur responded to the Queen by sincere thankB for her most wel come congratulatious and for the timely gift of the "Alort," which was a generous act and added spirit and encouragement to tho expedition. The New York Post, which is a very warm supporter of Mr. Clove land on the platform of alleged re form, says : "We do not boliovo that the Amer ican people will ever elect a notorious libertino and a profligate to tho office of president of the United States.

The electrical motor running street cars was power for tested the other day at Cleveland, Ohio, aud proved so successful that tho railroad company say they will at once apply tho motor to tho whole line. It is claimed that tho road can bo operated with electricity at one fourth tho cost of working it with horses. The thiof who robbed Mr. Coch ran's jewelry Btoro at York, Nob., several weeks ago was captured last week at Plattsmoutb with all the stolen property. Ho goes by the namo of Jos. Cooper. Ho is about 28 years of age and had been working on a farm near York for six mouths pre vious to the theft. The father of Charlie Ross has spent $C0,000 in tho search for his son, and examined over seven hundred cases of boys supposed to bo his. Tho evidence in the case of tho boy re cently sent from Quincy, HI., appears to bo greatly in his favor that he is tho genuine Charlie Ross, but he has been rejected. Wm. Holiues, a boy 1G yoars old, was beaten the other night on the head, by private watchman Young at the Vine Street Opera Hodse, Cin cinnati, for shouting for Blaine dur ing a performance. His skull was fractured and it is thought be will die. Young was arrested.

This postpones the banging until after the January term of the supreme court. A large fruit dealer in San Francisco, who has recently been on a tour to the southern part of tho state, reports tho orango crop of California as the largest ever known. It is estimated that the crop will reach 120.000 boxes. We notice a very few of the State papers are advocating the re-election of Isaac Powers as attorney genera), but they uever mention the Leidtke bond business. Fidelity to public trusts is a good teat to apply to office seekers. i The first brick building in Cin cinnati was the St. Clair House, built in 1806, of brick brought from Pittsburg, and is still standing upon Main street, between Seventh and Eighth. Attitude el' the Irish. Washington special, 28: Judge J. S. O'Conuer, formerly a resident of Washington and an officer of the old Irish brigade during the war, writes as follows to a friend here concerning the feeling among the Irish voters of Now York City, where tho judge has been iu the law business for somo time past : "Referring to tho political situation, to a looker-on it would appear that the 'buck bone' of the democratic party here is broken. The disaffection among our people from tho democratic ranks is something wonderful and a causo of much alarm to tho old war horses of the party. No matter whero I turn the success of Blaino and Logan is looked upon as a foregone conclusion. Although immersed in business and well tired of the excitement of political strife, as you kuow I have just reasons to be, I cau not resist the public feeling, which is somothing akin to that of tho old war days and, indeed, tho results of tho next election are to bo equally as glorious to the country as the results of the success of tho uniou arms wore aud so I intend to strip off' and do my level best tor tho party which alone stands between tho American workingman and the con dition of semi-serfdom to which tho workingmen of Europo havo boon ro duccd."
