It is argued that they would have been encount ered before in digging wells il thev entended any distance in solid beds. However, there is a probability that they will be found to be valuable, even if they are limited in area,and that the discoverers will reap a sub stantial profit from them. Journal. Interesting" statistics were re cently put forth showing the rela tive voting strength of Catholics and Protestant in the United States.

Of these actual voters 3,500,000 are Protestant communi- cants, while more than 10,000,000 are nominally Protestants.- - The total voting force of the Catholics is a little more than 2.000,0)0, or about one-fift-h that of the Protest- ants.

It may be well to state in the begin- ning" that articles are not written with a view to elicit replies from those who may entertain dif- ferent opinions from those herein ex- pressed, nor to draw any one into a newspaper controversy which at the best is not condusive to any great benefit to the general reader; but the one motive in view is to place be- fore the reading public a plain, simple. concise statmentof the facts with the hope that they may be beneficial in enabling very many who may now be in doubt, to form correct conclusions on this impor- tant subject. The writer wishes further to add that any one who may be bubbling over with in- formation and argument on this subject, taking an opposite view. and is afraid he may effervesceand waste his sweetness on the desert air, will be accomodated at any time and at any place suitable for a for ensic display of ability. No attempt will be made to ques- tion the honesty of those who enter- tain opposite views, no argu- ment will be introduced to show that the "free silver" advocate, generally, is not true to his convic tions. In fact most men are per- fectly honest in their views as ex- pressed on different subjects, and this being true, every man has a right to his opinion, and within cer- tain limits, freedom of speech is ac corded to every citizen of the coun try; but there is a class of individ uals known as the CHEAP JOHN POLITICIAN. upon whom it is necessary to be stow a passing word. Like bad j - weeds they flourish everywhere, but the western prairies of Kansas and Nebraska appear to be peculiarly adapted to their growth and devel- opment, so like the Russian Thistle they roll onward, ever onward, and as that weed scatters its pestilent seeds over the farmers broad acres so with their blatant mouths they scatter their obnoxious theories broad-cas- t over the countrv, little caring- - what damage they do, so long as the result brings them notoriety, and makes it possible for them to be elected to any pettv office in the gift of the people. Too much can not be said in deprecation of these fawning sycophants who hasten to foist their false doctrines upon the minds of a too credulous people. When the country is in a prosperous condition, when labor is every where employed, whenthe pleasant hum of the spindle, the deafening-roa- r of the furnace, and the ringing music of the anvil is everywhere heard, telling to the ob- serving man plainer than words can tell, that the people are pros- perous and happy, then comes the winter of their discontent to these craping agitators wha being; pes- simistic in their opinions languish and droop and die, when peace and plenty bring- - contentment and happiness to the people, During the continuance of these pleasant and prosperous conditions the energeticandaggressive Ameri- can Citizen, desiring to progure a competence, or increase his wealth, gives little attention to theorists and their visionary and falacious schemes; but when the scene is changed, when the nation is no longer prosperous, when labor is idle, when a scarcitv of monpv causes the most extravagant to practice ecomony, and when the or dinary business man, not havin"- - tne to bestow on these econ- - omic questions, is ntterlr unable to divine the causes which have combined to producesuch disastrous try, and which, unfortunately have - , . . nearly four years in every section of the United States, then these wiseacres, and their name is.Legion, like the toad-sto- ol The. fact that these cars run daily j results when such deplorable The Overland Limited" and iditions as these exist in any coun- - -- j "The these r PRICE REDUCTION That makes the people repeat tfejjSp saying- - ..!"... v .

When traveling in Kansas a few weeks ago the writer was or un- fortunate enough to see and hear one of these "cheap John" Solo- mons who for hours poured forth a tirade of abuse against national government, Kansas governor, and all Legislatures in while the banks in particular came in for a large share of foul epithets which would have done credit to the most unprincipled fish monger of Billingsgate; yet judging from the appearance of his team, the delapidated condition of his wagon, the ancient looks of his har-ness,a- nd the general contour of the man, he never had a cent in the bank in his life and consequently could not possibly be injured by the so called -- gold bugs."

Veins ofa good quality of bituminous coalhave been encountered nine milessouth ot Friend and also about threemiles from the town. Both veinsare near the surface.

I The Financial Question.

in undertaking- - to write a seriesof articles on this important subjectwhich like "Banchos Ghost" willnot down, there is no probability.that anv new argument will be advanced, that any new data will begiven, or that anything1 will be written which has not, in some form orother, been said or written br themany speakers and writers whohave flooded the country with pamphlets and speeches on this ques-tion which for several vears hasagitated the minds of the peopleand caused a feeling- - of unrest anddissatisfaction to pervade the pub-lic mind to a greater extent thanhas ever before been known in thehistory ofourgreatCommonwealth.It may be well to state in the begin-ning" that articles are notwritten with a view to elicit repliesfrom those who may entertain dif-ferent opinions from those herein ex-

pressed, nor to draw any one into anewspaper controversy which at thebest is not condusive to any greatbenefit to the general reader; butthe one motive in view is to place be-

fore the reading public a plain,simple. concise statmentof the factswith the hope that they may bebeneficial in enabling very manywho may now be in doubt, to formcorrect conclusions on this impor-tant subject. The writer wishesfurther to add that any one whomay be bubbling over with in-

formation and argument on thissubject, taking an opposite view.and is afraid he may effervesceandwaste his sweetness on the desertair, will be accomodated at any timeand at any place suitable for a forensic display of ability.

No attempt will be made to ques-tion the honesty of those who enter-tain opposite views, no argu-ment will be introduced to showthat the "free silver" advocate,generally, is not true to his convictions. In fact most men are per-fectly honest in their views as ex-

pressed on different subjects, andthis being true, every man has aright to his opinion, and within cer-

tain limits, freedom of speech is accorded to every citizen of the country; but there is a class of individuals known as the

CHEAP JOHN POLITICIAN.upon whom it is necessary to bestow a passing word. Like badj -

weeds they flourish everywhere, butthe western prairies of Kansas andNebraska appear to be peculiarlyadapted to their growth and devel-opment, so like the Russian Thistlethey roll onward, ever onward, andas that weed scatters its pestilentseeds over the farmers broad acresso with their blatant mouths theyscatter their obnoxious theoriesbroad-cas- t over the countrv, littlecaring- - what damage they do, solong as the result brings themnotoriety, and makes it possible forthem to be elected to any pettvoffice in the gift of the people. Toomuch can not be said in deprecationof these fawning sycophants whohasten to foist their false doctrinesupon the minds of a too credulouspeople. When the country is in aprosperous condition, when laboris every where employed, whenthepleasant hum of the spindle, thedeafening-roa- r of the furnace, andthe ringing music of the anvil iseverywhere heard, telling to the ob-

serving man plainer than wordscan tell, that the people are pros-perous and happy, then comes thewinter of their discontent to thesecraping agitators wha being; pes-simistic in their opinions languishand droop and die, when peace andplenty bring- - contentment andhappiness to the people,

During the continuance of thesepleasant and prosperous conditionsthe energeticandaggressive Ameri-can Citizen, desiring to progure acompetence, or increase his wealth,gives little attention to theoristsand their visionary and falaciousschemes; but when the scene ischanged, when the nation is nolonger prosperous, when labor isidle, when a scarcitv of monpvcauses the most extravagant topractice ecomony, and when the ordinary business man, not havin"--
