THE ENTEEPRISE. WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 17, 1890. Look Here Just One Moment ! c " : THE ENTERPRISE. J. ft. Smith, proprietor. WELLINGTON, OHIO. Hnteredatthe Pntt-offloe at Wellington as Seoond Class matter, according to Statute. 'nYor..... fl SO UMonths Tt Three Months ; Advertising Sveeenti per line, each Insertion. Spsie and Column Ratos made known on appll. eton. Tub Republican Congress should round out it grand record by giving tbe people one cent letter postage. It was promised In the last national platform, and the nroniise own lit to be fulfilled before tbe fourth day of March next. These are many good reasons why tne farmers who had for quarter of a cen- tury voted the straight Republican ticket Imuld have voted tbe Farmer's Alliance or "People'a" ticket at the late elections. but there does not exist a single sensible reason for expecting those Republicans to follow the southern win of the National Farmer's Alliance, which dominated tbe recent Ocola convention, Into tbe Dem ocratic party. After a month's deliberation everybody agrees that the Mckinley tariff bill did it. Elyria Democrat, Yes, it was an excellent club to handle t- duteat us at the late election. But we venture to say that there is not a man In Lorain county tlmt realizes any difference in the price of the articles. It reduced the annual revenues on Imports $14,000,000, and increased the duty on ilka and Dlush goods just what was te. cesssry to do, but for all that onr Demo. crut friend over in Elyria thinks it will prove to be oppressive. The young Emperor of Germany claims to be progressive in his ideas, and lo be aiming to keep the mighty empire, found ed by the iron will and hand of Bisniark. abreast of the tront rank of modern civi lization, and yet he has Just recognized the Brazilian republic. Royalty and progress do lot assimilate in this ago, nor. In tort, did they ever assimilate in any age. This Is the era of freedom and the people, and it is only a question of time a very short lime when kings and emperors will be bnt relics of ;a bygone period. It has now been ascertained tbat C. 8. Brice and family were enumerated in New York city last June. This, of course, has no beaming upon the case to establish his citizenship In Ohio previous to bis election as Senator. Mr. Brice bad not been a citizen of Ohio for many years, and it certainly was no credit to the Gen eral Assembly to elect a man for Senator whose place- of residence would be dis puted, when there were so many able men la tbe field deserving the position. Mr. Brice appears to be somewhat alarmed over the matter, and well he might be. as the Indications are tbat bis seat will be declared vacant at the convening of the flfiy-second Congress. We did not dispose of our stock to the parties we expected to, so we will continue to close our stock at reduced figures for an indefinite time. As we said at the beginning of our slaughter, that we would save you ten per cent, below the lowest figures any other house will give you, and we, mean just what we say. Mr. F. C. Leach will manage this store until closed. Hoping you will come in and buy some one a Christmas present while the line is complete, we remain, Yours, &c., v W. W. HARVEY & COMPANY. Letter from Dakota. Grand Rapids, N. Dakota, Dec. 5, '00- To tbe Editor ot Tin ExTaaraisis The lost month of tbe fast receding year. How time Dies! Ana yei we are The ipportionment bill agreed upon by the Bouse Census committee is, perhaps, all things considered, about the best that could have been framed. It makes the House consist of 356 members it's a pity tbe number could not have' been reduced which is at the rate ol one representative to every 173,001 persons. Of the 24 new members added to the House, no state, with the exception of Nebraska, will obtain more than two, and no Slate will lose any ot its Representatives. Ol the 24 new members, the North and West will get 18 and the South and Southwest t); aud taking the political standing of tbe States t- be hat they were at tbe last Presidential election, the Republican party will gain 17 and tbe Democrats 7, Now that the bill has been agreed upon, let tbe Republicans in Congress see to it that there Is no unnecessary delay In passing It Tbb indications are good for ' passing the Federal Election bill after tbe boll Jays. This we consider a more In tbe right direction. Ever since tbe Southern States were reinstated, there has been con slant complaint entered tbat th colored race were not permitted to go to tbe polls and vote without fear ol personal violence or intimidation. A number of laws have been passed lor their protection at the polls and up to date they have neither been enforced effectively or if Ihey have been, they are of no practical benefit, Now considering tbem all to be a failure for reaions unknown, other plans must be substituted to try and secure tbat freedom to tbe colored elector which be Is en titled to. What Is known as the Federal Election bill is no before tbe Senate, nod let them pass It lortbwith, then if the col ored man gets bis rights, which he Is en titled to, there will be no cause to enforce it, but if not, put It In force and see how it will work end If it proves to lie Just what Is required, we will consider that a victory has been gained and if it proves adverse to public good, it tan bo rtpcaltd.

From daylight until dam, every duv must count, for the chilly blasts of old winter may be lurking near, ready to spring upon us at any moment and woe to the ones who are caught napping, where once his icy breath sweeps dowa from the north-west, fastening itself with a tenacity front which there is no escape usually, until the warm rays of the returning sun loosens little by little Its Icy lingers and slowly but surely relaxing its grip, it slips away and once more Dakota blos soms forth with but I digress. Instead ol balmy spring, I look out and see tbe snow covering the earth and realize It is December. We bad tbe finest weather all through November, much mora like June, but since the beginning ol Decem ber colder weather has prevailed and a light fall ol snow Is now on the ground. There is always so much to do on a farm la any country, but our winters here re quire more preparation than wlib you, but thank fortune we never havo the rain and mud to contend with. Stock ol all kinds Is going into winter in fine con dltmn, The hot winds which so "demor alized" om crops did not effect grazing which was abundant. Wheat averaged from nothing to 8 bushels per acre In this county, of poor quality, very few oats and no millet. A light crop of rye will be aliout the only feed raised In tbe county- The situation 1 must ounleas, - Is any thing but flattering. Deplore It as we mayi it nevertheless remains a fact, that the continued poor crops are compelling a great many to leave and seek other fields of labor, a lew returning to their former homes In the several slates, while the majority by far, are pushing on west to Wnsbington and Oregon and a lew to Idaho, etc. Probably 30 or more from hereabouts have located iu Dululb, but "we still live!" No doubt of those re- maining, not a lew have lurched in land stock and machinery, made extensive and expensive Improvements and realize that to leave now, would be simply to abandon everything, for there is absolutely no sale for any of these tilings. It is not sn easy thing to do, so they still bold on and "hope on, hope ever" I would not have you believe there are more staying here Irom choice, for there are many such and they are taking tbe advantage of tbe less fortunate ones and Increasing their herds, acres and implements, etc- at their own figures. The ground was in excel' leiit condition (for plowing, better than since tM, one thing favorable towards next season's crop. A great many far mers are buying sheep. Thousands of head are owned in this county alone and tbousauds have passed through on this line for South Dakota. The low price ol dairy products and beef have somewhat discouraged a good many cattle owners and sales are slow, Drecsed beef can be bought for 8J ctj. per lb, but II. II has been buying a lew hundred gauges of cream per week at IB cts. per gauge. lie closes up tbe creamery this week, but will buy dairy butter and dressed poultry for tbe western market. Ue has paid out ovet $3000 to bis patrons the past season and although It is by no means what the same products would tmve brongbt a few yiars ago, ll is a fair compensation under existing circumstances. Politics waxed warm Indeed here, and although somewhat disappointing In re sults, I find our record as a Stats com pares favorably wltb most of our older sisters, who seem to bave been "off the books" ss the saying goes. La Moure Co. senas a Democratic Butte Senator, but a Republican to the House. White Co. officers were nbout equally divided between tbe two parties. A coun ty composing a district alone as sparsely settled as this Is bound to make a stirring campaign. Personalities entered largely Into this one, the Democrats being rein forced by so called Independents making a strong ticket. II. II. and myself attend ed tbe South DaUnka Fair at Aberdeen in October. It was a decided success not withstanding tbe sore trials they art fac ing, tine notable teature was "woman's day." The gate receipts that day amount ed to over $2400. The day was given up to tbe ladies and among tbe many sneskers were such prominent women ss Susan B. Anthony, Rev. Olympls Brown Anna Bhaw and others, flaying beard Miss Anthony many years ago, I could but notice the change in public sentiment regarding her sine that time. Then she was "Woman's Riits," "Bloomer; Susan', and almost a jest by a majority, but to-day having stood nobly and loyally ' by her principles, she was the honored guest ol the assemblage and was received by an ap plause worthy of her strenuous efforts to see her sex given tbe right ot suffrage. It was lost at this election, but Is gaining ground every day and will win yet. The capital fight between tbe two cities, Huron and Pierre, was no doubt one reason of so large an attendance. It was a bitter fight. Huron was represented one day by seven full cornet bands in uni forms besides a company of girls number ing about thirty, In uniforms and well drilled, called the "Huron Guards." Pierre was' represented by brass bands and had vanous other attractions, etc. Pierre gained the victory, but it was an expen sive one. Tbe display in all depaitments was excellent, especially so In horses, of which there were some beautiful oues, equaling, if not excelling anything lo the same lines anywhere. I saw Dakota grown apples from the crab variety, to Urge ruddy cheeked apple, delicious in taste, but don't infer from tbe above that we have barrels of them and send any orders for the same for fear we could not fill them. The most enjoyable feature of tbe whole occasion to us, was the meeting ot an old friend trom Lorain Co., A. O, Johnson, whom many of you remember. He made our stsy very pleasant indeed through many courtesies, we appreciated fully. He was Vice President of tbe as sedation and Superintendent of Grounds and altogether I should say a popular In fluential man of H. I). "Long may he wave " Well, as near as I could judge, farmers In general are about the same financially, at here, with a much larger per cent leav ing. I appetl to your readeis to know If we are not entitled to their sympathy ,that after so valiantly withstanding drouth. ball, gophers, hot winds, etc, we should now have visions of our own precious scalps, dangling Iroin the belt of a Sioux Indian.
