The gallant and manly fight being waged by Governor Campbell in| Obio against overwhelming odds, is attracting the attention of the whole | country and commands the admira- tion of even his political enemies. Governor Campbell's suecess would mean more than the governorship of Ohio. It would mean that such a victory would make him the next National Democratic standard bear- er. Let him but demonstrate his powers to carry Obio inan off year when the full force and energy of the national administration is thrown against him, aud no power on earth could defeat him for president on the democratic ticket. The republi- caus understand this and the full force of the national machine, fat- frying features and all, is concentrat ed and focused at this point. The most outlandish and infamous re- ports have been published and cir- culated by the partisan press to break down Gov. Campbell’s stand- ing and credit, but these falsehoods are already reacting, as they are al most sure to do when given time. He is meeting with a perfect ovation at every point he touches at aud the unbounded enthusiasm his canvass is creating is unprecedented. ae Last fall some hitherte good dem- ocrats caught the union labor fever and when remonstrated with invaria- bly justified their course by asking “what has the democratic party done for us?” This query was pro- pounded to Joe Smith, ef Wal- nut township, who proceeded to show what the democratic party had done for him in Bates county by producing his tax receipts under the republican administration and comparing them with these under the democratic rule. He showed that under the former he had paid nearly double the tax and had about one-fourth the property to pay on as under the latter. Then he show- ed that during nearly twenty years of administration the county affairs had been conducted economically and honestly, the officers had inva- + riably proven themselves competent, clever and accommodating. We consider this one of the stong- est, in fact an unanswerable argu- ment. Ifa party has given you low taxes, has administered your affairs honestly and economically and has furnished you with courteous and obliging gentlemen fer public ser- vants, what else do you want or can expect in county affairs. La Tom Reed is to make election speeches in Obio. He won't have time to say anything for McKinley as it will take all his time to explain away the billion dollar congress. A sarcastic journal says: Senater Peffer is determined to make him- self popular in Obio at any cost. He has just announced that he will make no more speeches in that state this fall. Jas. G. Blaine will give the coun- try a correct report of his nealth when he reads the election returns from Ohio and New York. He will also tell you whether he will cast his anchor to windward or remain on the indisposition list. a—_—_—_—_— "The American hog is about to root his way into France and Italy.

KILLED THE INTRDER. A Texas Farmer Chops a Burzlar to | Death With an Axe. Paris, Tex., Oct. 16.—H. C. Col- ston, a farmer living six miles south- east of here was awakened about 3 o'clock this morning by screams in a room where his daughter and two little boys were sleeping. Jumping ‘from bed he ran to the room picking | | up @ piece of fire wood as he went. | Reaching the room he found one of |the boys standing up in his daugh- ter's, who on seeing Colston, said: |*There be is papa.there is the man.” At the same moment a man sprang at Colston from a corner of the room, | but a blow from the stick drove him | back. Colston raised the stick for| asecond blow, but it caught on! some object behind him, and the | throat and a hand to-hand struggle ensued, in which the intruder was getting the best of it, wheu Mrs. Colston, in response to her husband's requst, brought him an ax. With this Colston soon bested his | opponent; who, upon the lamp being | lit, proved to bea negro. He had raised a window to enter the room, and in so doing stepped on the boy and awaked him. The young lady | bad jumped out through a window | as soon as he awoke. | Colston had split the negro's| head and nearly cut the neck in two, ! besides inflicting cuts on other parts | of his body. The negro lived until nearly 9 o'elpck this nnorning. Col- | ston came in today with the wit- nesses aud went before the grand jury, which 1s in sessicn. Nothing will be done with him. The negro who isa resident of Paris who had gone to the neighborhood to pick cotten. He was subject to spells of insapity and may have been in oue when he so unluckily entered Col | ston’s home. MORE 1. AND FOR. SETTLERS Over a million acres of flue land ob- tained ata cost of fifty-five cents an acre—n_ country of fine resour- ces and opportunities. Cheyenne, Wyo , October, 16.—The po commission appointed by the secre , ers, 635, Sunday schools, §95: tary of the Interior to negotiate with the Shoshone and Arapahoe Indians of Wyoming’ for part of the Wind river reservation has affected an agreement with the Indians under which they cede to the United States mora than half of their reservation, the government getting about 1,100- 000 acres out of the total of about 2 million acres. The commission made an earnest effort to also secure 60,000 acres of the southern part of the reservation, which would have aided in the development of the country around the town of Lander but the Arapahoes refused to listen te propositions. For the lands ceded the Indians receive $600,000 or about fifty five cents an acre. Of this all but $50, 000 will be put into funds for the benefit of the Indians. and the an- nual interest will be expended in the purchase and maintenance of an In- dian cattle herd and in giving them irrigation ditches, schools and other things necessary to make the Indian self-supporting. The Indians as far as practicable, are to be given pref- erence in work under these arti- cles. ‘ The lands ceded include practical- ly all the land north of the Wind river and a strip in the eastern part of the reservation. The country is well watered, the bottom lands are rich and there are 100,000 acres of} bench land which irrigation compa- nies can make good agricultural land at a reasonable cost. The whole of the reservation isa fine sheep and cattle range. Coal and oil are found on the ceded lands and there are in- dications of the presence of more valuable minerals. The country is 150 miles from railway communica. tion, and for its development needs a railway line through it in the di rection of Yellowstone park and the Northwest. It isobserved that the political campaigns througheut the country have been conducted this year with rare decency and decorum. There has been little tendency to introduce personalities, and there has been a gratifying absence of the disgrace al vituperation aud asperities which were se common in American poli tics even a few years The cam paign between Cleveland and Blaine witnessed the culmination of that sort of blackguardism. It reacted so disastrously against the party in- troducing it that it has been in dis favor ever since. It is to be earnest- ly hoped that it will never be reyiv ed.—K. C. Star. General W. H. F. Lee Dead. Alexandria, Va , Oct. 16.—General | W. H. F. Lee, second son of Gener | al RE. Lee, died at his home in Ravensworth, Pairfax county, last evening aged 54.
