The members of the Republican County Central Committee and Executive Committee are hereby requested tc meet in the office of the Chairman in L. C. Thayer's Block at 1.30 p. m. on Saturday, July 30, 1892. Every member of the above named committees are expected to be present to transact very important business. JOHN* CORCORAN,

Those demagogical papers who attempt to make politic capital out of the trouble of employers and employes are not the true friends of labor but papers rather whose advice in the end tends to lawlessness and anarchy.
No party that trades and buses and traffic for political office and the spoils there of should say but have no "principles'' they have no principles but office. A party of deep and honest conviction cannot abuse. A thing is right or it is wrong, there is no middle ground, for Gods sake dont set on the fence and straddle.
Most men say the man who shot Mr. Frick was no friend of labor. That is self evident. Neither are the blatant blatherskites who are always fomenting disturbances between employers and employers friends to labor. They are best knewn as '"JawSmiths" and have a continual running off at the mouth. As a rule they are incompetent, ungrateful or dishonest and cannot hold a job long them selves and do not want to see an honest industrious workman succeed. They prefer to do little but secure a lions share of the spoils. Honest competent workmen should fire the "Jaw Smith."
Col. W. P. Tomlinson of Topeka who for ten years was the editor ot the Kansas Democrat has come out for Harrison and Reid. He opposed the surrender of the Democrats party to the People party. The People's Party should take measures to suppress the reports of R. Gr. Dun & Company's agency until after the election. There is atone to these reports that must be very discouraging to calamity sbriekers and destruction howlers. This agency, which can not be charged with partisanship, reports business improving in nearly all lines and at almost at every point, money unusually plentiful, crop prospects excellent and indications everywhere of continued prosperity. This is a starting contrast to his jeremaid with which the People's Party introduced its platform, which pictured the whole country as on the brink of ruin. Dun & Co., base their statment upon cold figures the fourth party croakers depend wholly upon the credulity of their followers Indianapolis News. It is not the Peoples Party alone who bewait hard iime. As first class calamity shrielters some of the leading demagogues of the Democrat party like Dan Vorhees cannot be surpassed. As the News says above Dunn & Co's and Bradstreet reports simply show the cold facts as they are now partisan. The fact is a great and prosperous country. We were glad to see the Hancock Democrat publish Dun report last week. It showed the country to be properous.
The l-'lag on tlie Scliool-Hoiise,
I rejoice in nothing more than in this movement recently so prominently developed of placing the starry banner above every school house. I have been charged with too sentimental an appreciation of the Aug. I will not enter upon any defense. God pity the American citizen who does not love it, who does not see in it the story of our great free institutions and the hope of the home us well as ol the Nation, aud I think, notwithstanding perhaps a little too much tendency to rote in our public schools, that it is true that our teachers, and especially the women, are not without sentiment.—President Harrison at Saratoga.
Ftthjr, Pointed an* Porttarat. It is a little late to enter a state of (defense of Cain for killing his brother, Abel but a book having the end in view is out.
Mr. Stevenson dropped into his too" role with as much ease as though he had devoted years to echoing the remarks of the only Graver.
An exchange prints a telegram headed "uncomfortable at gray gables." It isn't half so uncomfortable there now as it will be early in Novemaer.
Gladstone's majority in the British Parliament promises to give him almost as much trouble as the majority in our House of Representatives has given the Democratic party.
Now that the Senate has struck out the amendment prohibiting the sale ef intoxicating liquors on the grounds, perhaps Texas will reconsider and agree to officially take part in the World's Fair.
If the courts keep up the good work of sending the democratic ballot-box thieves of New Jersey to the penitentiary a little while longer, the State will certainly cast her electoral votes for Harrison and Reid.
Big crops make this another bad year for the calamity wailers. In fact, the soil and atmosphere of America are not healthy for this class of freaks, and it is yearly becoming more unhealthy for them.
Governor Flower says of the new chairman of the republican committee "I know Mr. Carter well, having been in Congress with him, and can safely say the G. O. P. has no more clever and brainy a fellow than he is. ir'l&v
The democrats of the country will soon find out (those in Montana know it now) that there are no flies" on Thomas Henry Carter, the new chairman of the republican National committee, if he is the youngest man ever selected for that responsible position. T~ "Stand up for Kansas," the republican battlecry in that State, furnishes a battlecry for republicans everywhere ly substituting "America" for"Kansas." It as foremost nation of the world should adopt as its fighting not to, "stand up for America."
The democrats on the House committee which went to Homestead to invest ivate, learned a great deal more about the actual and direct benefit to wage-earners of the protective tariff than they will ever dare to officially tell. It was directly contrary to what they expected to learn.
Jerry Simpson says "If I had a million dollars I would use every cent of it in helping to elect third party men to Congress." May be he would, and yet ther^ are reasons for believing that Jerry, who is by no means a pauper, will not use one cent to help any body to be eiected, except himself.
Beginning a Presidential campaign with all the surroundings of a circus is a democratic idea, and it will remain such. It is probable that the exhibition of Cleveland and Stevenson in New York was decided upon by the democratic managers as about the only way to get a democratic crowd together curiosity was the magnet of the occasion.
I
Why do men of prominence allow their names to be used by the promoters of "snide" investment schemes? is. a question made pertinent by the failure of the company controlling the imaginary city of T-illapoosa, Georgia which carried on its Board of Directors a list of names well calculated to impress people"with its responsibility.
Ex-Senator Mahone, of Virginia, judging from the Congressional Record, is much more anxious to sell the Government a site for a new Government Printing Office than he is to carry Virginia for Harrison and Reid. Perhaps that accounts for the assistance he is getting from such democratic Senators as Vest, Blackburn and Butler in the first-named undertaking.

GKMS OF THOUGHT AND DICTION
Culled From President Hariison's Speeches:
"Every man should take off his hat when the starry flag moves by." "I know of no higher honor in this world than to be call 'comrade' by the survivors of those who saved the Union." "The Confederate soldier has a full, honorable and ungruded participation in all the benefit of a great and just Government. "When hope goes out of tne neart anil life becomes so hard that it is no longer sweet, men are not safe neighbors, and they are not good citizens." •'I pity the man whowants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who producs the cloth or shapes it into a garment shall starve in the process." "I believe that our legislation should be as broad as our territory, should not be for classes, but should be in the interest of all our people."
THE retaliatory law which the United States Congress has just passed against Canadian vessels in American waters is eminently correct. The Canadians were tolling American vessels that passed through the Welland and St. Laurence •canals, and Uncle Sam put a tariff on freight and passengers passing through the canal at Sault St. Marie. The Canadian papers are blowing and blustering, but the United States is able and pro poses to run her own affairs. President
Ilairison has taken a highly patriotic and Americwn policy on every inter national quesliou that has arisen, and it has the •indorsement of all loyal Americans.
As To Stopping Comity Paper..-
It is the custom of some papers when the) subscribers are well known to them as reliable to continue the paper from year to year, unless the subscriber requests that it be discontinued at the expiration of time paid for. Some papers will not stop then, but the REPUBLICAN under no circumstances desires to impose upon a sucscriber and will not do so. In case you have ordered your paper stopped and by some oversight we fail to get your name off the books, just drop into the office and remind us of the fact, or have your postmaster to send us one of the cards which he has for such pur poses and we will stop the paper. Always be sure however that your subscription is not delinquent. Remember the REPUBLICAN does not, and will not knowingly push the paper upon any one.

A PURPOSEFUL, NOVKL-
The Editor of the Arena Describes Helen Gardener's New Story as the Uncle Tom's Cabin of the White
Ribbon Crusade.
In the Arena for June Mr. Flower gives the following pen picture of the new novel by Helen H. Gardener: "Pray You, Sir, Whose Daughter? Such is the striking title of Helen H. Gardener's new novel, a storv which, in my judgment, is the most finished aud, in many respects, the strongest woi which has yet come from the pen of this gifted lady. Helen Gardener posesses in a rare degree the power of holding the interest of the reader, which she emphasizes in a most telling and effective manner truths of vital moment to civilization. The present is pre-eminently the age of purposeful fiction. Against this innovation conventionalism has raised its voice. The old slogan cry, "Art for art's saKe," is being drowned in the new and vital watchword, "Art for truth." The great political, social, economic, ethical, and religious problems of to-day are being most effectively presented under the veil of fiction. Few writers, however, possess the power of subordinating the lesson to the story in a sufficient degree to hold the interest and thrill and impress the average reader, who is merely looking for something entertaining. Thus many writers of modern fiction in this new age of unrest and growth defeat their purpose by preaching where they should picture. The story deals with expanding womanhood. It the legitimate product of the present growing age. it is in ^perfect touch wim the thought of the hour. Incidentally the cause of the very poor in our giv.it cities is touched upon, and in one chapter we have a prose etcniug of an aparimeut in the slums, which is pain fully Hue to life. The great cardinal thought, from the side of utility, is the picture ot' the crime against girlhood tolerated by our present "age of consent laws." In Victor Hugo's masterpiece it will be remembered that he sought to picture man's-struggle with unjust liw. In Miss Gardener's new book she paints most vividly the struggle of girlhood with unjust social conditions. Like Hugo, Miss Gardener also deals in types. Gertrude Foster, Frances King and Ettie Bercon are types, but they posess nothing of the colossal nature of Hugo's or Shakespeare's great creations.
Dickens also dealt in types, but he intensified them until they often resembled caricatures. Not so with Miss Gardener. While typing young womanhood of today, she does so with such perfect natus ralism that one feels that the siory isomething more than fiction. Each character lives, and we feel while reading that we are being acquainted with the happenings of real persons. This, of course, is the art of the realist and, indeed, while Miss Gardener is in no way writing history in "Pray You, Sir Whose Daughter?" she is narrating episodes and incidents which are happening every day in every great centre of life.
There is no plot in the story but the interest of the reader is held from cover to cover. The most delicate subjects are dealt with but they are so handled as not to offend any healthy imagination, while the atmosphere of the book is pure and lofty. Iu Gertrude Foster we have a magnificent picture of the modern girl free, educated, untrammelled with strong and positive individuality the broadminded, noble-souled modern girl, who dares to think and to act up to her high est conyictions of right regardless of consequences. There are to-day hundreds -jf Gertrude Fosters, aud they are the advance guard of the twentieth-century womanhood. I wish every young woman in America could read this book, if it were far nothing else than to catch inspiration from this splendid creation. In the other two typical girls, Ettie Berton and Frances King, we have strong, natural, life-like reproductions of thousands of young women who may be found today in every great city. Beautiful, illstarred little Ettie! How the heart of every true man and woman will go out in love and sympathy for her! and in her fate it should not be forgotten that we read the fate of thousands of maidens, who, through accursed laws, fall victims to something far worse than death while they have scarcely crossed the threshold of womanhood—laws originated by moral lepers for the protection of the most heinous forms of licentiousness and from year to year discussed in secret Sessions in various legislatures, where systematic attempts are constantly being made to lower the age which reuders a moral leper exempt from a crime far more colossal than murder. Eveu this year"a bill was introduced in the New York legislature to lower the age of consent from sixteen to thirteen years! and had it not been for the vigorous efiorts of some stalwart friends of purity, doubtless the measure would have passed.
xlTHE
N
"Pray You, Sir, Whose Daughter?" is far more than an intensely interesting novel it is a brilliant appeal for justice and purity a protest against one of the most glaring crimes which blisters the brow of nineteenth-century civilization. It is pure, wholesome and inspiring. If the white ribbon army should make it the "Uncle Tom's Cabin" of their noble crusade, it would, I believe, accomplish more iu one year than their present efforts will realize in a decade. The price also of this volume is within the reach of ail, being only fifty cents per copy. It is published by the Arena Pub. Co., Boston, Mass., and is one of the handsomest books of the ear.
