He Needed It.

H. P. Connor, who exposed tne Re. publican method of carrying this State at the last election, is a candid ito for Auditor of Newton county. If he should be defeated we wonder if ho knows what done it.—Fowler Republican. » “Fighting Dick Coulter” may be the Democratic nominee tor Governor of Pencsj lvania. He carries about a dozen Confederate bullets m his body. It aQ V Republican carried that much lead he would demand the Presidency or perhaps the Popedom, and call it “the fruits o the war." The irrepressible Howgat*, the defaulting Army Paymaster, has sent jvord to District- Attorney Corkhill that he “will be on hand and make a defense that will sicken a certain crowd who have done so much to pull me down to cover up their own rascalities.” Howgate will make some of his pals squirm when he is put on trial. “When rogues fall out hmiest men get ihelr dues.” Let th® investigation proceed.

Senator Bayard gave the high protective theory a black eye the other day: • ‘We have, by the ring legislation which is called protective, made a system ol artfieial prices that we endeavor to confuse with prosperity. We have so protected ourselves that we have driven our people from the oceans, and are attempting to bring up our country by hand, as if in a glass case. We prohibit shipbuilding at home by unnatural prices, and|forbid the purchase of foreign-built ships. On this subject we have not half as much sense as the Turks." —*•*— The Philadelphia Press wants the New York Sun to give James F. Blaine fair play. This the Sun professes to have done, an declars that it has never lost sight of Blaine’s virtues “no matter how deeply be has involved himself in trickery and or smirched with such base transact tions as were revealed by the Mulli" gan letters.” Blaine, like Dorsey* has his virtues, but the Republican party, which is capable of taking desperate changes, hasn’t sufficient imdubence to name Blaine for Presi* dent.

Don Cameron, who bosses the Stalwart wing of the Republican party in Pennsylvania, in a recent address to his clan in Convention said: “I would vote for an ox if he were the nominee of my party.” Several asses had been nominated, and Don’s attention having been called to the fact, He at onee silenced the braying by saying: “I would vote for an ox or an ass, dog or half-breed, if either were the nominee of my party.” This sound ed like compromis, but the Stalwart oxen and asses bore ofl all the prizes of that Convention.

-The spring term of the Osceola public|school opened on Monday with 155 pupils enrolled--37 in the Princi. pal’s room; 38 in the intermediate, and 50 in the primary. Several vis ltors called during the week who re. port affairs progressing finely. The teachers, at their own expense, are embelishing the walls with fine chro mos, twelve having been placed in the grammer department, end six in each of the other rooms. Prof. keever hafe also added a geological cabinet of 1.500 specimens, including relics of Mound Builders. These serve as subjects for morning lectures. With so fine a school building, and so able a corps of teachers, the citizens of our town may justly point with pride to our excellent educational advantages.—Poke Co. Kansas Advocate.

The Protectionists go easily to the ground in the argument drawn from the steel rail manufacture. The Davenport (Iowa) Gazette thus disposes of the plea so often advanced that protection is a good thing because the price of steel rails and of transportation have both diminished in the last twenty years: This is mere nonsen le. What difference does it make even if the price ot steel rails has been decreased the world over so long as a tariff of 100 per cent, enables the American railmaking monopolia to - charge here S6O a ton tor the rails that cost S2B in England? As long as our railroads are obliged to pay that difference, the cost of their construction is - artificially enhaneed to that extent, and the cost of transportation correspondingly increased. And thus the sum forced from the railroads by this system ot iniquity is paid, not by those wealthy corporations, who could more easily endure'such drains, but from the pockets of eyery famrer in lowa Whose produce travels a mile of railroad. It comes from the- pockets of those men whose crops have given us our proaparity. And this is only one of the thousand enormity of this system. How long will the farmers of the West submit to this whole iale robbery and legalized extorttonf

Senator Hoar of Massachusetts I recently ga w e a disgraceful exhibition of bis plantation manners in the j United States Senate by personally attacking Senator Rollins, of New Hampshire,over the Boston collector ship, Senator Rollins, whojdesired t® leave the Capital temporarily, said to SenatoT Hoar. “When are you going to call up that matter?” “Did you address me sir?” replied Senator Hoar sarcastically. “I did,’ replied Senator Rollins. “What matter do you refer to?” Whv, the Bostoncollectorsbip> of course,” replied Senator Rol line. “What business is thatef yours? What business have you to be intruding in a inattc-r that does not con cern you?” sternly asked Senator Hoar. “Well, I have a v >«<-,” replied Senator Rollins, “and 1 would like to have it at the time the matter comes up.” “I want you to understand,” said Senator Hoar, “that we don’t proposed to be trifled with in this matter. I regard this nomina tion as a personal insult—an iufam ous outrage—and T want to inform you that we send men up to ConcQrd next year to take hold of the election up there.” “Don’t get exciied. Sen. ator.” replied Senator Rollins, “I shall be very glad to see Massachusetts men in Conhord. because they always vote right.” Shaking his fist in the air, and flying into a passionate rage ? Senator Hoar replied, “I do not propose to be jested with on this subject* It is a very serious matter with me' I want you to understand that we have marked all the men who have put the President up to commit this infamous outrage. It is an outrage upon the people of Massachusetts. It is a personal insult to mei and those who stand by the President are marked by us for future treatment. The plantation Senator from Massachusetts, the successor of Daniel Webster, soould resign, a la ConkliugsPlatt, and spite the President. “Whom the gods would destry they first make mad.” “You must take a bottle of my medicine.” said a quack doctor to a consumptive.“and you’ll nevor cough again. ” Is it is fatal as that?” gasped the patient. Tne temperance fury in Ohio is making the life of the Ohio guzzler a burden to him. If he goes into a sa* loon, the saloon may at any moment be blown up. If he goes into his own house, his wife blows him up.

[Evansville Tribune.] A laughable thing tooK place at a revival meeting recently in one of our neighboring towns. The minis ter noticed a saedy-looking chap in one of the seats, looking as though he needed religion or a good square meal, so he stepped up to him and asked him if he was a Christain. “No sir” said he, “I am the editor of the Republican paper of this place.” “Then, in the name of God, let us all pray,” responded the devoted minister.
