Republican Convention.

county are hereby called to meet in con
vention at the Court House in Columbus

m., for the purpose of placing in nomi

Columbus 1st Ward, 5 Delegates.
Ik the -present stage of relations be
tween the people and the railroads con
troversy has been passed and left be
hind. The differences have grown to a
contest and the contest to a war.
There is simply a war between the rail
roads and the people. It should be
governed on the people's side by the or
dinary rules of such conflicts. There
need.be no fear of going beyond the
bounds of strict equity. That is something
for the railroads, the other side, to look
out for. For years, even since railroads
have been a system, the roads have been
governed by the single rule of "getting
all the tariff would bear." Turn about
is fair play. The people have been the
under dog long enough and should now
turn their individual attention to the
undertaking of getting on top. No mat
ter about the methods. The people is
to get there. A little severity will not do
any harm. A trifling temporary injus
tice would doubtless serve a good pur
pose as an admonition for the future.
Something in the way of retaliation
would most likely serve a useful pur
pose. It would be fair and right for
the people to dismiss every case as to the
equities of the matter and go on the
policy of getting everything out of a
railroad that can be had, no matter how
it is got. There is no danger of getting
back more than the merest moiety of
what has been unjustly wrung from the
people.
Let us have a f ulL fair and complete
understanding of the matter. The state
of thincs is war. Until the corporations
are subjected the rules of war should
prevail. Any measure or means that
will give the people any advantage over
their antagonist should be adopted with
out scruple or hesitancy. The man who
purports to tremble lest injustice be
done to the incorporate powers is on
their side and should not be listened to.

Coofer Union in New York was pack
ed the other night with anarchists and
socialists. The audience numbered fully
3,500, and assembled to protest against
the hanging of the condemned Chicago
anarchists. Ushers, wearing red ribbon
on their breasts, handed every person
who entered tho hall a copy of the in
cendiary proclamation which was dis
tributed on the streets the latter part of
last week, declaring that the condemned
anarchists should never be executed.
Our hnmble advice, given in all kind
ness to those mistaken men, is that they
not interfere, in this republic, with an
honest and faithful execution of the law,
even if it does in its enforcement stretch
the neck of a bad anarchist or two oc
casionally. In our system of society and
government, there is no room for one
anarchist. They, as well as our own
citizens, must submit to the law while
it exists, and if objectionable, amend or
repeal it, in a legal and peaceable way.
It now turns out, taking the report of
Lieut. G. R. Burnett, of the United
States cavalry (who was sent out by
Gen. Crook to investigate the late Ute
trouble), that the white man was more
to blame than the Indian. It appears
that in every instance the Indians were
attacked by the white man first, and
that the Indians furnished the victims
of these attacks. In the first bout one
buck, two children and a squaw were
wounded. In tho second they were fired
upon without warning, and one buck,
two small girls and one baby boy killed.
Here, in their haste to get out of the
way, they lost their horses, sheep, cattle
and provisions.
Tont Esquival, a cowboy with Buffa
lo Bill's Wild West, met with a serious

formance and while he and his comrade
Jim Kidd were indulging in some of
their pistol practice, the latter's pistol
went off, and the unexploded grains of
powder struck Esquival with full force
on the right side of the nose, entering
and completely filling the eye. The
physicians express slight hope now of
saving tho sight of the injured eye.
The association of ex-confederate
veterans at Atlanta, Ga., held an im

and Cumberland, who fought from
Chattanooga to Atlanta. A program of
reception and fraternizing will extend
through the week, beginning Oct. 10,
and will be elaborate.
For several weeks past business men
of Madison, Wis have been bothered by

nent individuals. The other day Frank
Swettmore, aged 15, the son of respect
able parents, was captured in the act of
passing a check, and, on being arrested,
confessed that he was guilty of all the
mysterious forgeries. He was sent to
the reform school.

vailed last week at New Orleans, La,

than this.

WashiftgtOB Letter.
From our regular correspondent.
As intimated in a former letter, there
is no secret here of the absolute divorce
of the administration from the uncon
genial alliance with the mugwumps. The
democracy never meant the union to be
an honorable and lasting one, and the
only matter of astonishment is that they
have sojourned together so long as they
have. The decree of separation has been
issued, and Cleveland leaves the old lady
and the off-spring to search and wander
for themselves, while he runs over, with
all the household effects, to the out
stretched arms of pure democracy. It is
the old story of promise, infamy and de
sertion. And perhaps this treatment is
really merited. Certainly it is in per
fect harmony with the history of the
democratic party for the last forty years
and more. They are good to promise,
but bad to redeem. The older readers of
this letter will well remember the demo
cratic campaign of "Polk, Dallas, and
the tariff of '42." That was the battle
'cry then, for Pennsylvania was necessary
to success, and hence they put Dallas on
the ticket, a Pennsylvanian, and locked
arms with protection, and won the cam
paign. What was the result? Why, the
very first session of Congress under the
administration of Polk repealed the
tariff of '42, and that by the casting vote
of Dallas himself. There is no use in
multiplying instances since that time to
show the duplicity and perfidy of the
democratic party. Its history is blurred
from beginning to end with 'just such
hypocrisy. It is no better or worse now
than forty or twenty years ago, and there
is no hope of it being better in the fu
ture than in the past. Professions count
for nothing among thoughtful men, when
made by a party with such a history.
But the difficulty heretofore has been
that the thinking comes too late. That
is a great misfortune of the mugwumps.
They left the republican party iu a fever
of heat because thev did not like the
Chicago nominees, and that was all, and
tramped through the filth of a campaign
over to the democratic camp and receiv
ed promises of food and shelter in con
sideration of their votes that actually
elected Cleveland. Now, after two and
a half years of quarrel and contention,
they are unceremoniously pointed down
the back stairs of the Executive Man
sion. It don't seem possible that there
are other discontents that want' to try
their hand with democracy, after all the
teachings of the past.
A new idea has just forced itself to the
front which is making quite a commo
tion among numerous department clerks.
The civil service commission, desirous of
"turning the rascals out," have racked
their brains of every conceivable pre
tense, and at last have hit upon an ad
ditional device. It has the semblance of
fairness and rather in accord with the
spirit of civil service law, if continued
as revolutionary in its action. They have
discovered the momentous fact that
several of the northern and western
states have more than their quota of ap
pointments, while several of tho south
ern states have less, and that several are
credited to states who really have no
legal residence therein. Tho whole
thing is to be investigated, and the sur
plus cut off.and practically those who are
wrongly credited. This of course means
republicans and is regarded as an ex
cellent subterfuge to make place for ad
ministration adherents. It looks like
pretty small business, but the pressure
is so fearful and the clamor so persist
ent, and the needs of the confederates so
pressing, that there is scarcely any way
of escape, so the door will be opened, and
experience and skill will walk out while
incompetency and swagger will stroll in,
and all under the guise of "improving
the public service."
The state department is considerably
incensed at the recent speech of the
Queen in closing the British Parliament,
wherein she claims, among other things,
that the joint commission to settle the
fish question between this government
and England, is another distinct and
positive triumph of British diplomacy.
As to the truth of this claim, the peo
ple of this country are in blissful igno
rance up to date, for the state depart
ment has resolutely abstained from giv
ing the public any information touching
negotiations going on. This declaration
of the Queen, in so public a manner,
tingles the ear of Secretary Bayard, and
the prospect of any laurel wreaths dang
ling from his massive brow in the settle
ment of this vexed question that has
stirred up a good deal of bad blood,
seems to be vanishing away like morn
ing mist. It is not improbable that the
sequel win snow inai wun less pre
tense to dignity and more practicable
application of brain force in our foreign
relations, the rights of American citizens
would be better secured. You will re
member that last winter when this ques
tion was up in Congress, the democracy
mounted the war horse with flying col
ors, under the leadership of Perry Bel
mont, chairman of the House committee
on foreign relations. It was a huge
bluster, and amounted to nothing. Let
us hope that the Queen, in her congratu
lations, may prove a little premature,
and after all we are not completely
worsted in this important contest.

Platte Center has a marshal 1 and a

business men and superior officers of tho
town to support the marshall.
Little Worrick (of the Argun) and Dr.:
D. P.Shevlin hist Thnreday had a. lit
tle scrap over an editorial in the Argus.
Only one round was fought and the
pugilists were separated. No blood was
Bpilled and they parted to meet at no
future date.
Last Tuesday evening the marshal!
attempted to run in a "drunk aud dis
orderly" but was not able to do so, so he
called on the city mayor to assist him
and the mayor said he should let him go
and not to bother him. Now if this is
the way the law is to be upheld, tho
townsmen might as well close up and
let rum and riot reign.

A Complete Cnre of Cancer.
Gentlemen I bad a eoro on my tip
per lip for oigbt years. Seven different
doctors attempted to heal it. One gave
me a small vial for fiye dollars, which
was a "certain cure." It is needless to
say that it did me no good. About two
yoara ago I became quite uneasy, as peo
ple thought I had a cancer, and I took a
course of eighteen bottles of S. S. S.
The result has been a completo cure. The
ulcer or cancer healed beautifully, loav
ing scarcely a perceptible scar. From
that day I have been in excellent health,
the Specific having purified my blood
thoroughly, increased my appetite and
perfected my digestion. In a word I
feel like a new woman, and, best of all,
the eight year ulcer is gone entirely.
Yours sincerely. Mrs. W. P. Cannon-.

Two Bottles Effect a Cnre.
Gentlemen My blood was in such a
condition that on the slightest abrasion
my flesh would fester,and sores were
difficult to heal. I took two bottles of
S. S. S., and after that any abrasion
would heal on first intention, and my
flesh was firm. W. T. Wilkins.

I have tried Francis Marak's patent radiator
on my cook stove mid foand it to do all that he
claims. It caused the kettle to boil 'and the
oven to heat, quick, with one-half the fuel we
had been oaing without tho Itadiator. We got
breakfast with 19 corn cobs, and the oven was
hot enough to bake biscuits.
