The Great Land Slide, has “slid” back again. “Kentucky, Virginia and the South Precinct are still democratic. ——-• ' ? ..

Altgeld Anarchy was grandly rebuked in Chicago, by the election of Judge Gary.

Tammany and Dave Hill’s election returns stealing got a blackeye in New York, by the overwhelming defeat of their hired thief, Judge Maynard.

A general election now would be a bigger scoop for the Republicans than last year’s was for the Democrats. Tuesday’s election proved that, conclusively.

Does the esteemed People's Pilot still class the Republican party in the category of things deceased? Verily, it is about the livest corpse that history has any record of.

The election in Ohio was the squarest contest between protection and free trade ever waged in this country. The result shows beyond all possibility of dispute, that the American people favor protection.

The result of Tuesday’s election will do vastly more towards restoring confidence and prosperity than the repeal of the silver bill. It will knock the wind out of the free traders’ sails, to au aiHEzihg degree.

It will be next to impossible to pass a free trade bill through the Senate it the Republican Senators unite to oppose it. The results of Tuesday’s elections shows that the people do not want Democratic free trade, and will justify the Republican Senators in opposing the passage of such a law, by every lawful means in their power.

Owing . the .unexpectedly large demands made on the county revenue on account of the preliminary expenses of the Wakarusa, Iroquois andjWheatfield ditches, toge er with the exceeding slowness with which taxes were paid in, the payment of county orders was temporarily suspended, about three months ago, for the first time in many years. As will be seen by notice given elsewhere, by the county treasurer, the payment of orders has been resumed, and they will draw no interest after Saturday. The money advanced on the ditches above mentioned, amounts to a total of about $4,000. This will all be paid back again to ■ Jhe county if the ditches are constructed. If they are not constructed, it is a question whether it can be collected from the petitioners, but from the wording of the law it is probable that the county will lose the whole \ sum.

And You Pay a Fine Every Time.

“Boys are allowed too much latitude in this country,” says Deacon Beane, of the Goshen Democrat. Some of them (belonging to good families) are as saucy as the devil. They can steal your peaches, your Water melons, run over your lawn, throw pebbles against your windows, ring the door bell, daub your sidewalks and commit all kinds of mean little acts, and if you should “sprout” one of them* the devil Would be to pay. and the parents would “take the law on you.”

WBvsThis THE LAND SLIDE HAS SLID BACK. ALE OLD TIME VICTORY FOR REPUBLICANS. Ohio’s Majority The Biggest Since the War. OWA GRANDLY REDEEMED, - FROM 30,000 TO 40,000 MAJORITY. MASSACHUSETTS ALSO ELECTS A REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR. Even New Jersey Has Gone Republican.

The results of the elections of Tuesday restores faith in American intelligence ” and American patriotism. It was a grand Republican victory. A regular land-slide. Ohio, the great battle-ground between American Protection and British freetrade, re-elects McKinley by from 50,000 to 70,000 majority. lowa is redeemed from Democracy by from 30,000 to 40,000. Massachusetts, after electing a Democratic governor three times in succession, rolls up a splendid Republican majority, 30,000 anyway. New York elects Republican state officers, and snows under the notorious Judge Maynard by 100,000 majority. The undersigned has purchased of Thos. Burns the new livery stable, on Vanßensselaer street, west of the public square, and proposes to conduct the same in a manner to give the amplest satisfaction to all patrons. Nothing but good rigs sent out. Prices very reasonable. Give me a trial.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

Court resumed its sessions Friday morning, after an adjournment of one week. Judge Wiley rendered his decision in the consolidated fire damage suit of Thomas and Eleanor Florence against Peter Johnson. The parties live near Virgie. Tuesday, Sept. 19, Johnson burned around a stack, or some other property, to guard against prairie fires. He watched the fire all right, at the time, and by carrying water and other means seemed to have put it out effectually. Moreover, it was on a damp, misty morning when Johnson made his fire, and it also rained some the following Wednesday night. On the next day, after the rain, Thursday, or two days after Johnson had his fire, when there was a tremenduous high wind, fire was observed near the place w here Johnson had his, and this fire spread until it burned hay and other property for the plaintiffs to such an extent that they sued Johnson for 11050. It was not entirely ch tain, from the evidence, that the destructive fire of the Thursday originated from Johnson’s fire of the Tuesday before; but the court held that in any case, it was shown that the defendant had exercised all reasonable diligence to prevent the spread of his fire, and that therefore he was not liable, and

the decision was therefore in his favor. Charles Ferris, the alleged insane party from Newton county, who has been held in the county jail so long, was brought before the court Friday, on writ of habeas corpus. There is no legal grounds for holding him in jail any longer, and the judge o rdered him released unless the people in Newton county who had him incarcerated, would promptly begin action to have him regularly declared insane. Ferris is a rather brainy looking fellow and in all respects but one, he is intelligent and clear witted. The wheel in his head is the idea that he invented about all kinds of farm machinery now in use, and the hoise that he stole was taken from a man of whom he demanded $125 as royalty on a windmill, the owner of the horse had on his farm. He admits that that manner, of collecting his dues is not law, but it is equityW he says, and equity is what he is going in for. When asked in court what he would do if released, he said he would go back to Newton county and collect his royalties. It is impossible to name any kind of a farm machine that he will not claim the , invention of. Sheriff JHanley held him until Tuesday morning and then released him.

The court’s decision in the ease of Wm. H.Kelley vs. Geo. E, Vincent, was in favor of the plaintiff, for brothers-' in-law. Mr. Vincent lives in Remington and Kelley in Illinois. Many years ago Kelley sold Vincent some property. Small amounts were paid, at times, and finally $2,000 in a lump. Mr. Vincent thought this paid the whole debt, but the result of the law-suit was a judgment for Kelley, as above stated. Wm. B. Russell was granted a divorce from his wife, Isabel, and the custody of their three children. The grounds were abandonment. Mr. Russell lives in Fair Oaks.

Judgement for plaintiff for $139.55 and costs. Cordelia P. Monnett, administratrix estate of Thomas Monnett, deceased; in partition. Deed of land to Cordelia, Elmira and Lucinda Monnett set aside. Administratrix ordered to sell the land to pay decedent’s debts. Land appraised at $5550. Makcever & Williarhs vs. James Maloy, et al, note and mortgage. Judgement for plf. for $1235.50, and costs, and foreclosure. Samuel C. Curtis vs. Nathan Fendig, acct. Judgement for plf. for $204.49 and costs.

Sarah Shaffer, vs. William and Jas. Shaffer, et al. Agreed suit for the construction of the will of contestants’ father. Held by the court that the money in controversy,

$124.28 belonged to plaintiff, Sarah Shaffer. The Gifford ditch case, appealed from Commissioners’ Court, was argued by Hammond and Thompson, of the opposing counsel. The Judge will study the papers in the case, the decisions cited, the briefs to be submitted by counsel, and render decision at the January ter m. . The application of John Reed of Jordan Tp., for the appointment.of a guardian for his daughter, Mary Casey, lately proved insane, was tried Friday. Plenty of good evidence showed that she was insane and incapable of managing her property, and the jury so found, under instructions tb that effect, by the court. The unfortunate woman was in court and gave a demonstration of her condition by berating her father when he was on the witness stand, “cussing” Mrs. Jane Platt when she was testifying and fairly making the whole room blue by her swearing at the deputy sheriff when he was taking her back to the jail. Her father is appointed guardian.

DAIRYING.

To the patrons. of Rensselaer Creamery Co., greeting and the members of the Milk Church; I have been watching with great care and anxiety, and am glad to know that a good many of them have proved their faith by their works. Henry Fifer, Henry Eiglesbach, Jno.. Martindale, Ponsler & Strong, Wm. Lowman, Bruce Porter, Fritz Zard, Edward Parkison and others. I will say that no one need feel slighted by not having his name mentioned. I will also say that I think Bruce Porter stands head in the class. He has the best lot of twenty cows, taking their condition and size, that I ever saw. They are above the average flesh of the cattle killed by our butchers. He is “up to snuff” and has learned and practiced his knowledge that a cow is a machine to transform feed into milk. I am glad to state that we have the best creamery in the state. We took first premium at the world’s fair over all other exhibits of this state. The patrons have made more money than any other class of the farmers. The skim and butter-milk this season has been worth 40 cents per 100 pounds for pig feed, owing to the high price of swine, and as the Creamery Co., has paid SI.OO for Sept, that would equal $1.40, which is 20 per cent, more than the shippers to Chicago have realized. I hope every patron will increase the number of his cows, and that the milk church may have a revival that will astonish the natives. We live in a naturally adapted dairy country, and milk here is worth as much or more, than in dairy districts, where lands sell for SSO to $75 per acre, and by developing the dairy interestshere, irwilh iug price of our lands, and give every member of the milk church cash every 30 days, and make them independent, prosperous and happy people. The Boss Deacon.
