DODGE CITY TIMES.
SEVENTH YEAR.
DODGE CITY, KAS., NOV. 2,1882.
NO. 337
REPUBLICANS MAKING ASSES
OF THEMSELVES.
Some months ago we staled that the dem
ocrats would endeavor to secure a good
working minority in the legislature, and
tliii prediction is about to be verified. It ia
stated that the minority will be at leant 50
members, making 31 more independents or
democratx than in the legislature two years
go. The editor of the Atchion Cbapion
i-f a shrewd and observing politician, and
from his psper we clip the following:
There are more independent candidates in
the field for the legislature this fall, than
ever before in the history ol Kansas. They
are running on all aorta 01 isues aome as
prohibitionists, because the regular repub
lican nominee are not sufficiently pronounc
ed on that ques ion; aome aa anti-prohibitionists,
because the regular nominee are
too pronounced; aome aa anti-monopolists,
upon the assumption that their opponents
are not sound on this issue; aome upon the
old, time honored and neTer failing pre
tence that the conventions which nominated
their opponents were "packed;" some just
because they are sure that the destinies of
this imperial commonwealth of our will be
utterly wrecked if they are not called upon
to take a tarn at the rudder which guides
it; and some because importunate friends
hare demanded that they shall sacrifice
themselves upon the altar of public duty.
and they cannot resist the demand.
The net result, we think, will be that
the next legislature will contain a larger
minority of democrats and greenbackers
than any legislative assembly of Kansas
since the admission of the State. In a few
districts, the cacdidatea for the legislature
-are all republicans, but in most cues where
two or three republicans are in the field, the
democrats will take adt antage of the divis
ion to run in a candidal of their own polit
ical faith. They are working the prohibi
tion issue very shrewdly. Where the re-
publicana nominate a candidate who i not
a prohibition!) the democrats play upon
the prrjudice of prohibitionists, urging them
to bolt; and where a prohibition republican
is nominated, they urge the anti-probibi-
tionisU to bolt, promising to support either
faction, and at the same time keeping a
lookout for a chance to run in a candidate
of their own faith.
The republicans in many districts are
making conspicuous awes of themselves by
permitting the opposition to use them as
cat's paws in this wsy. They ought to see
the purpose ol this game, and stop their
foolish feuds. It is time that republicans
everywhere closed up their ranks and went
to work unitedly to secure the old time re
publican victory.
Mies Pinneo ol Greeley, Colorado, who
started out last year to uecouie toe cuaiu
..:., r.mal. rider has ended her short ca
reer by poison. The tale need hardly be
told for the calling almost gives ine qu.
She was a bright, dsring girl, just in the
morning of womanhood, virtuous and hap
py, but possessed of a romantic turn . As an
equestrienne, she won bright laurels; and
intoxicated by success she drifted away into
the world. Utile by little ah fell from
path el rectitude nntil the found herself the
mistress of a Topeka saloon keeper. The
waa only one step more to take suicide
and that she took last week. A man may
stem the tide of sporting life for a time, bat
where on succeeds, a thousand fail. No
woman can go through the ordeal ud live
long. Selina Herald.
The St. Louti Pott-Dispatch wants tem
perance agitators to read th lesson of the
fall election, aright, and turn their atten
tian lo more practical rtmediis for the evil
of intemperance than prohibition.
BEECHER.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, being inviied
by the Traveler to express bis views of the
criticism of the various ministers of New
England upon hi recent withdrawal from
the Congregational body, writes the follow
ing letter:
My Deab Sir: I thsck you for the let
ter and papers. I have read somewhat
largely the eipicsicns of these many and
excellent men in regard to my orthodoxy,
consistency, influence ard general merit,
without wishing for a moment to make re
ply, which tou kindly requested.
WHEN A DEAD MAN
is lying on the dissecting table under ex
pert?, it would be unbecoming in him to
rise np suddenly and discuss with bis sur
geons the propriety of their methods and
the truth of the results. It ia not often one
can tee himself as others see him, and more
than all, as Boston clergymen see him. I
am reduced to a palp, but thank heaven,
not to ashes. When you sugges. a reply to
these, I am sure you c.n have no concep
tion of the subdued and enlightened state of
my mind. I am bent on improvement,
LATINO ASIDE XT OLD KOTIOKS
of belief and my standing. I ana carefully
putting together the real man, which 1 am
now taught that I am. When I get my
new personal identity together and in work
ing shape, I intend to study theology some
where, though in my present confusion, I
cannot yet decide whether I shall study at
Andover or Boston. New Haven ia nearer,
but Dr. Smith has been settled there, and
fear a laxity cf doctric in his neighbor
hood. Princeton is not loo far routh of me,
BCT DB. X'COSH
is a christian evolutionist and it would be
folly s.ter what I have suflered, to come
under the malarial influence of that philoso'
pby. On the whole, I decline to study at
Park stret, but wherever I may go, I am
determined before I die to find a theology
which will pass muster at Bangor, at Ando
ver, at Cambridge, at New Haven, at
Princeton, at Alleghany, at Uberun, at Ubi
cago and at Park atreel; then I shall will
ingly die. Yours,
Hekbt Wabd Beeches.
A law in Virginia, passed in the year
1863, reads as follows: "Whereat, many
babbling women slander and scandalise
their neighbors, for which their poor hat
bands are often involved in chargeable and
vexatious suits and cast in great damages;
be it enacted, that in actions of slander,
occasioned by the wife, after judgment pass
ed for the damages, the women shall be
punished by docking; and if the slander be
eo enormous as to be adjudged at greater
damages than 509 pounds of tobacco, then
the woman to sutler a ducking for each 500
pounds of tobacco adjudged against he;
husband if he refuses to pay the tobacco.
When a youn; man kisses his girl goor
night, about 1:30 a. m., he may have nearly
a mile to walk before reaching hia home,
and be envies his girl, who, he supposes.
jumps into bed and is fast asleep ten min.
ntua after he leaves the house. He doesn't
know that she must first fish seventy-nine
hairpins out ol her head, one at a time, and
twist her hair up into bits of paper, so that
it will crimp nicely next day, and that be it
in bed snoring before she tarn off the gs.
If h waa aware of this fact, perhaps ba
would leave earlier.
The Topeka Capital says of a second crop
fspples: A twig from an apple tree eta
the farm of W. P. Douthitl waa left at this
office yesterday. Four rosy apple hid
grown on it, the second crop for the year.
Mr. Douthitl, who is a well known lawyer.
is confident that this second appl crop is
lb result of hi txeaUeat d practical
farming.
The cow boys have removed five city mar
shals ol Caldwell, Kas , in five years.

Where will this thing end?
Picident Arthur has irsued the cu-loma-ry

Real early rising doesn't pay. Mr. An

and broke her neck.
Indiana grew nearly 47,000,000 boshels of

Indiana.
An enthusiastic admirer of Jersey cattle
recently purchased a copy of the "Life of
Ole Bull," and now, whenever he hears the
sound of a violin, he goes out behind the
barn and bangs his head against the build
ing. "If you don't like my sermon, pray
what kind do you like?" said a petulant
minister to an over candid pirisboner.
"Well," was the reply, "I like the kind that
drives a man into lbs corner of hia pew and
makea him think the devil is after him.
When you preach like that I shall be coo
verted." The situation in France is becoming sig
nificant. The existence of a well organised
revolutionary movement seem to be well
settled. The members of the organization
ar justly named anarchist. Those who
realize That anarchy mean in Franc will
await future movement with the greatest
anxiety.
A frog fell into a pail ol milk In a Coa
ecticut town, on night recently, and in
the morning was found titling upon a roll
of fresh batter. A local paper say that the
ole explanation ia that, in trying to extri
cale himself, be had, by diligent and con'
tinuous strokes of his long leg churned the
milk into butter.
A young man started for a drive of twenty
mile with his sweetheart, through an un
inhabited tract in Minnesota. At a point
about midway of the lonely rrnte, the pair
had a bitter quarrel. The fellow unhitched
the horse, mounted it, and rode away,
leaving the girl alone in the wagon. He
evidently gave her credit for being a whole
team and a dog under the wagon.
A London paper describe a American
girl in that city who "wears a gown with a
flight of embroidered swallow, beginning
on her left shoulder and ending at her right
foot; and a wallowa alto fly about herpar-
iL" The American yoatb in London it
also addicted lo "swallows," bat they don't
begin on hi shoulder. They begin nndtr
hi cote and ran down hi throat
