In 1879 he was again elected to the circuit bench of Kane county, ^pd re-elected in 1885. His pres­ ent term expires in 1891 and the frater­ nity is naturally agitating the judicial question.

Several years ago the Lafayette bank, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was robbed of f 10,000 in bonds. No attempt was ever made by the thieves to dispose ol the bonds, and Laraey now says he will disclose the hiding place of the land* If he is given his freedom.

Tt would iM^^ngeia^^iflbysa^ilO. It was a bitter dose the rebels had to choke down when forced to it. Policy alone holds it M qaletly as possible, but very few of tbtlfk have in their hearts ever consented to liave their State ruled by any but those of the clans that ruled before the War, and by the power of force or fraud they intend to keep it so. Never will they cease to figlit "election law," and every Ihw and mm-, and party looking to a free vote and a fair count. uOiisuauH can remember bow gleefully the "copperheads" of the North rubbed their hands and echoed the rejoicings of Southern rebels in war times, whenever our army was cut in piecfis or our cause solfsrfcri. To-day the same spirit of "rule or ruin" seeks to tyrannise every foot of Its old stomping ground in the South, whSait is reaching for the throat and pocket-book of the Nation. Fully do they recognize that their hope and their chance is through the Democratic party to-day--a party made up almost wholly of three classes, vir: What is left of the old rebels of the South and those they control; what is left of the old copperheads of the North and those they control, and the so-called Prohibitionists and those they control. Take away from the Democratic party either one of these three classes and that party could not keep house. Every old soldier must know, need not be told, that every dollar of pension money to him or his, comes like pulling teeth, as the men who tried to kill bim see the country count It out. Only let the South get sufficient control and your pensions will be cut off, of course, and every Southern claim will be allowed and paid by the government instead. By advice, Southerners are saving up their claims against that day. Let every man think carefully as to whither we are tending and be wise in time. The policy of the Democratic party is "still hunt." Their plan and their hope is by indirect methods. Knowing their strength and main hope is in cities they pat the Farm­ ers' Alliance on the back, and the South pats it, too, hoping thus to divide the opposition to the Democratic party and work their success. Just so with the Prohibition party. Democratic money helps work it, and Democrats laugh at they thus divide the opposition forces and keep their party in power. The Southern workers ;ire so anxious and in­ terested that they have men lecturing and working in this and other States, in the interests of the Prohibition party and Farmers* Alliance. Men who once were officers in the rebel army, even, are so anxious for our dear interests and our morals--not able to find any reforma­ tion needed at home--are among us. Let no one be deceived. Let every Re­ publican be very slow to abandon old and tried friends, leaders, principles and party. Ever remember that shrewd Democratic politicians make no quarrel to-day with the Prohibition party. They are not afraid of it, because its theories and doctrines are not practical, calling too much for perfection to ever obtain such control of votes in this age as to in- jore its alley, the Democratic party. Yes, the Democratic politician laughs as he usee that party to divide his op­ ponents and thus gain Democratic suc­ cess. The Farmers' Alliance, too, is dear and valuable to the Democratic party just for the use they can make of it in dividing the opposition, for they hope it will so help them to seize early that thor­ ough, complete and permanent official control which they hope, by close, sharp, united work, to gain and hold, and use, for ends and purposes exactly in the lint* above indicated. L«t every man who ever felt proud to be a Republican, very carefully consider his ways and go safely. Be not deceived by semi-Democrats and mugwumps, who are buying up organs of the Republican party, putting copperhead soldier-haters at their head as editors, and attempt to palm them off as Republican organs.

We shall undoubtedly have some soft-hearted per­ sons decrying the killing of Hitting Bull as an act of injustice and even as a down­ right murder. But there is nothing in the affair as now related, or iu his career to warrant any such sentiment. He was resisting the lawful authorities, and his follower* Were endeavoring to rescue him from custody under his encouragement. En spite of early educational advantages by which he learned to speak French and English, Sitting Bull was a brutal, blood- thirsty, cowardly old savage and ruffian, a polygaroist and a mischief-maker. If his violent death serves as a warning to other excited Indian chiefs who have been running riot under his encouragement, and causes them to become peaceful, no one can possibly regret it. If, on the other baud, it stirs them to fighting pitch, we shall then speedily have an end to the Indian troubles through the mil­ itary branch of the government, and in either event find Sitting Bull's death a DON'T WHIP A SICK HORSE, M.
