key is sullicitiitly dicstod to permit
much busiin t-d to Im iluno just yet.
Ir u the one fear of the Democrats and
the oae hope of the IndjH.'udt'utd that
when Cleveland Maid ho wus u Democrat
he meant he was partially a Democrat.
II. V. liEi.iiF.n's recent Kcturo was
fleeted by a small audience. The people
twnn to expect that wheu he opens his
mouth homethin vile will come out of it.
It is alleged that Kate Smulsoy, of
Fort Plain, N Y.f has fasted Stf) days.
Sheruut Kin to have a little spark of
fetflin;? for the Democrats who have had
to fait for near twenty-four years.
If the Itepublican party hadn't been
beaten we never should have had the
amusement of Keeiiii,' Tom Ilemlricks
dancing and executing the fandanj.
Tliere's considerable comjHMisation in thit.
Tub Toronto Uhtt says that a man
wa lately fined $10 for beating lus wife.
A few days aftr another man was lined
Sj0 for vagrancy. From this it may be
inferred that it is better for a man to beat
his wife than to do nothing.
It is quietly whispered unions; the faith
ful that one of the "three Colonels" is to
have a "consulate in a warm climate" if
he will only ko. And now the people are
wondering which one it is whose fervices
are tho more valuable the farther away ho
must o to ierform them.
One of the early sequences of the re
cent election is the receipt for review by
tho press of a email book entitled "The
Modern Bar-tender's Guide." The work
is evidently meant for Prohibitionists who
agisted so largely in creating a demand
for it, while confessing themselves ig
norant of the matters of which it treats.
To one who has any feeling of sympa
thy for the lower orders of creation the
writhing of the Democratic ofllce-Feek-ers
under the fearful apprehension that
Cleveland will respect tho civil service
rules, is something very painful. Mr.
Bertfh should servo an injunction on
Cleveland.
That distinguished linguist who now
represents the United States at Berlin.
Mr. John A. Kasson, apparently thinks
ho discerns Foniethiii in the distance.
In celebrating Thnnk?j?ivintf at a banquet
he proposed three cheers for Grover
Cleveland, the noxt President of the
United Statea
At the Republican primaries held in
New Haven the other niht several Inde
pendents had the brazen audacity to pre
sent themselves and insist on a right to
rote. Thy were, of course, promptly
"tired out" of the meeting. An Inde
pendent, it is becoming more and more
nppr.rent, is a brazen-faced bundle of
conceit, who wants to run two parties at
once. They went out of the Republican
party to purify it, so now let them stay
out that it may remain pure.
i
The free-thinking Governor of Ohio
emitted the mention of the Deity in his pro
clamation inviting his people to celebrate
last Thursday iis a holiday. He evidently
believe in the social but not the religious
celebration, in thanks-eating rather than
thanks-giving. Sancho Panza said. "A
good liver is the best preacher, and thnt
ia all the theology I know." This seems
to bo the sum of Gov. Hoadly's religion.
He looks no higher than tho turkey he
carves.
Titk New York Tribune hns loen ac
cused of misrepresenting the returns in
Now York State. The final canvass
shows, lwever, that that journal wiw
much more nearly correct in its estimates
than the Time., the Herald or tho World.
On the day following election these pa
per gave Cleveland a plurality in excess
of th l.(U7 which the final canvass gave
him of from tV2: to S.W, while tho
7i7 uve was only l.' l out of the way.
Had it In en poible to prove the frauds
which there was abundant reason to he

without doubt have Kvn elected.

Michigan for ver. To precipitate a
Hcuatorial ounttfct in the State cf Michi
gan at this unfortunate ieru)d would be
mot injurious to tho party which has
done to much fur Senator Couger, and
which has a right to expect s much of
him. liut recently tho party iu thLs State
has seriously biiilerod in a Senatorial con
test where a few meu were enabled to
take advantage of the ainall Republican
majority in tho legislature to dictate who
hhould not be Senator. Happily they
were not able to bay who xhuuld bf, but
with the bare majority in the present
legislature, and the presence there of one
of the chiefebt of these malcontents, to
gether with his well-known disposition to
have his own way at whatever cost, it
would hae lceu a serious calamity to
Republicanism in this State if Senator
Conger had resigned to accept an otllce
merely because it would have assured
him bread and butter for life. To havt
been a Senator of the greatest nation of
modern times is to have had one of the
greatest honors tho world could bestow,
and no one should bo elevated to such a
post who is not able ujon occasion to le
a Roman of the Romans. Better that
Senator Conger should retire upon a crust
of bread with water to an .honored and
dignified seclusion for tho remainder of
his life, than to injure the party, bring an
honored name into question, and lower an
elevated position by being tho first to
scramble after a inero life salary. Tho
Senator has evinced his sense of the
dignity of his position, and Michigan Re
publicans owe him increased respect for
his manly aud honorablo course.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Philadelphia Times: It is the first
real, solid Thanksgiving this generation
of Democrats ever saw.
Syracuse Standard: Election frauds
in Albany and Chicago hint that the
South is already in the stirrup.
Cleveland Leader: Tho Coukling Seu
atoral boom lias been pretty effectually
bursted. It becomes more evident every
day that ho could not command more
than threo or four votes outside the Dem
ocratic members of the Now York As
sembly, who aro twenty-six short of a
majority.
Philadelphia Press: Mr. Blaino may
not be a candidate again, and probably
never will be. It was not by his own
wish or effort that be becamo a candidate
this time. But anybody who imagines
that ho and his friends can be counted
out as a great political factor of the fu
ture will make a mighty big blunder.
Detroit Post : According to the Grand
Rapids Leader, "Democrats nil over tho
South agreo in declaring that tho color
line is now wiped out." Possibly; but a
good many colored folks were "wiped
out" first. Before accepting tho Leader's
statement, the Post would like to hear
the opinion of tho colored survivors.
Philadelphia Times: The kindly war
again tho slaughter of birds for the pur
p e of d corating ladies hats and bou
jacts iias no reference whatever to the
wholesale killing and plucking of tho
turkey for the religious purposes of this
national holiday. It used to bo the eagle,
then for a few days after election it was
tho rooster, to-day tho turkey is tho
feathered king.
A FRONTIER ROMANCE.
The HUtorj Which a Recent Elopement
In Nebraska EmphaLzc.
Omaha Taper.
Thclopemtnt of Mrs. Laura Soper. of
Beatrice, Neb., with James Vance, a butch
er, brings to mind an interesting bit of
frout.er history. Mrs. Super's maidei
camo was Laura lloper, she bein. the
daughter of the lion. Joseph B. Roper, of
Uage County. In lMJJ Laura was a beauti
ful Krl of eighteen, aud waa engaged to a
young train boss named Kelly At that
time there were no settlements west of the
Big fcJandy, in Thayer County, except at
the military posts and ranches along Uncle
Sam's highway. These ranches usually
consisted of a rude log houso surrounded
by a stockade, aud were lrorn forty to fi.ty
miles apart. Kelly started an establish
ment of this kind at Oak drove, situated
on the Little Blue, in what is now Nuckolls
County. Ou tho day of tho feariul Indian
massacre, in August, I80l, Laura wiw going
from Spring Banch to Oak Grove by stage.
Th Indian on that day inado a general
attack on the whites all along the traveled
road, from Julrburg clear east to the Big
Sandy, nearly two hundred miles, bands
of bitvars springing on the little
settlements simultaneously. The stage
in wh.ch Laura was riding wa
riddled with bullets, and the driver and
othtr passengers killed, the girl being car
ried oil a prisoner. 8he was takeu to Oak
Urove, where the Indians dscoyed her lov
er into a conversation with the chiefs, and
then kdled him before her eyes. From
Kelly's ranch the red fien ls weut to the
hum of tho Ubanks family, where they
shot ten people, sparing only a young girl
al-out Laura's aiz and ae. Miss lloper'
Irieud, with the aid of the military, mada
a le-ng anrch for the captives, but nothing
could heard of tain except fhen a rov
lag scout er irapper wonid occasionally
come in and report having two whit
