He Writes an Open Letter to Senator Edmonds on the Effects of the Suh. Passage of tie Force Weatherford. Tex... An Hon. Geo. P. Edmonds. States Senator from Vermont, ington. Sir—While I have sonal acyue being a feel jus d you utter my protest. feeb u may be, against the fet bill, and to urge upon you vad 3 colleagues in the Senate needlessness of such 2 some reasons that seem to as so strong why it should not come alaw. And it seems that from the fact that I am a ie publican and voted for Harrison aud Morton; that I lived in a Republican state until I was 29 years of that my only brother was a Union soldier and died in actual service;that I myself enlisted in the Union army, but was not mustered into service on account of my being but 14 years t me be me age; "| of age; that my father, a Republican and an Abolitionist, sat in the first Republican convention and support- ed vigorously Scott, Fremont, Lin- coln, Grant, Hayes and Garfield. I mention these things to show that I was bred in your political faith and ought to be firmly fixed in the doctrines of your party. What I feel aud shall try to ex- press ought to have some weight, for surely the feelings and opinions of Southern Republicans merit some consideraton at the hands of Republicans of the north. I have lived in Texas 11 years. My four living children were born here, and two of my children are buried here. I have lived a portion of that time in Northern Toxas and the remainder of the time in Southern Texas. My business has been such that I have traveled in the cars and by private conveyance in all parts of the State, and have been among all classes of its people. I am _ usually credited with keeping my ears and eyes open, and I affirm without fear or contra- diction that a man’s politics (his being known to every one to bea Democrat or Republican), has as little effect, so far as the treatment of himself or his family is concerned in busines or socially, at school, at church, in the courts—nay, even at the ballot-box-as it does in Vermont or Minnesota, and it cannot be just- ly said that this applies only to Texas for the reason that Texas is largely peopled with natives of other South- ern States, and very many of them recently moved here from those states. I can truly say that I have often been filled with astonishment and wonder at the universal acquiescence of these people in their defeat and the results of the late war, and any Northern man must marvel at it who comes here and lives or mingles freely among these people, when he rememebers what an awful war it was. Iknowthat Abraham Lincoln's character is almost universally res- pected and admired among South- ern men; I know they feel that the war ended for the best, that it has been and is better for the South that slavery as an institution passed away with the war, and if there is here and there a man who feels at all sore itis a feeling caused more I believe, by some phases of carpet- bag reconstruction as it took place in some portions of the South than by any other occurrences during or direct and necessary results of the late war. The chief cause, in my opinion, for the feeling of alarm and anxiety that exists throughout the South— and it does exist and is genuine, and ; occasioned by the proposed passage Kansas City to Denver.without cnunge jof the Federal election bill—is that H. C. TOWNSEND. General€Passenger and Ticket Ag’t the people of the south fear a rep- etition of those oecureances. I feel certain that if President MISSOURI, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 10.1890. R. R.

Des Moines, Io., Aug. 29.—Leo- nard Brown of Polk county, a bright verdict at Appomattox needs affirma-| writer on economic and industrial tion. Ask the members of the Grand questions and an orator of uncom- Army of the Republe, who gathered | mon eloquence and power, has writ- from eyery city, village and cross- road post office throughout the South in Boston recently, whether they think the war is over or not, whether they think there are any verdicts of the late war to he affirmed, and if a single business or professional man among them all says that the South- ern Republicans need a Federal election law to protect them in their property or rights, then I will con- fess that I am an abnormal idiot; that I have departed from the faith of my fathers and am wandering in strange ways and following false gods, that Ido not know a happy free’and prosperous country when Iam living in it and move back North and teach my children that it is alla mistake that the war is not over; that I have been dreaming for the last 11 years in thinking that peace and harmony prevails in this section. It may be urged that frauds have been perpetrated in fsolated places and negroes deprived of their. right to vote, but suppose this true. Is it necessary to pass this election bill which is a menace to the whole South because of what has occured Are there no other ways or means to be used to insure a free vote and a fair | count but by the passage of this | in some sections of the south? law? In conclusion I must say that I wait with anxiety the action of the | Senate and I know of many South ern Republicans who do, as we can- not see anything but trouble ahead for us who have come here to live ten a letter to First Assistant Post- master General Clarkson detailing at length his reasons for leaving the republican party. The letter is in answer toone from Mr. Clarkson coaxing him to remain with the po- litical faith in which he was born. . Mr. Brown’s reasons briefly are that congress and the executive are controlled by eastern capitalists,and the western people are being robbed by class legislation. He arraigns his party for pressing the Lodge force bill. He says: “It is the culmination of a series of bad laws. It is the dagger pluny- ed into the heart of the American Republic, not accidentally but de- signedly. The result of a conspira- cy of plutocracy to destroy democrat- ic liberty and the inauguration of an autocratic and plutocratic despot- ism. BeforeI will see the ballot- box wrenched from the hands of the town meeting and handed over to the tender guardianship of United States marshals, appoined by a for- life-appointed supervisor at a super- vised election, I will willingly give up my life on the scaffold as Sir Henry Nave did his; as Sir Walter Raliegh did his; as Robert Emmet did his. Ilove my country as in- tensely as did Warren. So I believe I loye the flag of my country with as deep a fervor as did Jasper. So I fondly think,but loyalty tothe gov- - | ernment will cease in my heart the {moment the ballot box has been wrenched by Federal legislation from the hands of the people.

I will do baiile against despots. I would take down the old flint lock musket from over wy eabin door, that my great-grafid- | the the British flag when it became | the emblem of their oppression.” | Mr. Brown reminds Mr. Clarkson | that the people of the south can best | solve the problem confronting them | without a resort to Federal interfer- ance. What is needed is for men like Mr. Clarkson to extend to them the great confidence and faith they pre- tend to have in humanity. Let them attend to their own affairs while the northern people attend to their. Mr. Brown’s standing in the repub- lican party can best be understood by the statement that in the cam- paign of 1888 he was called east by Mr. Clarkson and put on the stump in eight different states, including New York, Indiana and the Virgin- jas. The Pulpit and the Stage. 3 Rey. F. M. Shrout, pastor united brethren church, Blue Mound, Kansas, says; ‘I feel it my duty to tell what wonders Dr. King’s New Dkcovery has done for me. My lungs were badly dis- eased and my parishoners thought I could live only atew weeks. I took five bottles af Dr. King’s New Discovery and am sound and well, having gained 29 pounds in weight.” Arthu: Love, Manager Love,s Fnnr.y Folks combination, writes: ‘Atter a thorongh trial and conyincing eviderce, I am confident Dr. King’s New Discov- ery tor Consumption, beats them all aud cures where all else tails. The greatest kindnessI can do many thous- friends is to urge them to try it.” Free bottles at any drug store. Regular sizes soc and $1.00. Breaking Down the Chinese W all. The republican leaders in Wash- ington are manifestly solicitous that Secretary Blaine should be with- drawn from the stump in Maine. It is not that they dread the influence of his reciprocity speeches upon the election in that state, where he is still a great popular favorite. They fear much more the effect of his ar- guments upon their tariff programme throughout the republican party. He is completely distroying with the farmers the familiar plea that the Chinese tariff is building them up a “home market,” and that they have no need to trouble themselves about the miserable markets of the semi- barbarous and half starved people of the other world. By his brilliant rhetoric the secretary is turning the republican farmers from these nar- row notions and opened before them vistas of profitable foreign markets under his reciprocal free trade. As to the entire practicability of his programme that is another question. A Valuable Discovery. 6 Dr. Brown Sequard’s clixir of youth may be an important discovery, but ev- ery one knows that Dr. Franklin Miles’ New Heart Cure certainly is. It has given thousands afflicted with serious heart disease a New Lease of Life. Drug gists who can observe its ettects on many customers ev-rywhere speak very highly of it. Mr. John Weaver, ot Knightstown, Ind, says: “I have sold much of Dr. Miles’ New Cure and have received mary good reports.’’ O. Mon. roe, of Dunkirk, N. Y., reports larg sales. bottle has given satisfaction.” and guaranteed by H. L. Tucker. Soid “‘And the best part of it isevery! WHY!

FLEMING BROS., - Pittsburgh, Pas Late investigations have determin ed the majority of deep sea depres- sions come from other than volcanic origin, andthat the coldest waters of the ocean stand in deep troughs, instead of running, as was formerly thought to be the case. The transition from long, lingering and paintul sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the lite of an indi- vidual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been at- tained is gratefuily biessed. Hence it is that so much 1s heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to the use ot the Great Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease ot Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standing you will surely find relief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at soc. and $1 per bottle at all druggists. 3 The victories of peace are no less than those of war, as may be seen by the progress of electricity.
