There is no doubt of Sherman's speech at Springfield proving what the people of the Uni- ted States have known for some time, that John Shernian is a broken down politician and has never learned any- thing for 30 years. He might have been a statesman before the war and “fo those days his mind ever reverts, and he tries to fight those battles over again from ‘60 to 64. He for- gets that these same bloody shirt issues were brought into the fight in ¥S3 and the people forever settled them. His speech is very similar to that which he made before the re- turning board of ‘76, when he held Fliza Pinkston up to the outside world as a specimen of injured inno- cence outraged by a brutal South. * Little Johnny delights in living over those anti-bellum days, of Missouri Compromise and States rights. ete.

Wolfe, as will be seen by a dispatch in another column, has been appointed Mine Inspector of the state of Missouri. This was a wise selection by the Board of Ex aminers, as no better appointment could have been made, and one that will give better satisfaction to the people generally of this portion of | the state. Mr. Wolfe is # native of Maryland, but moved to this state and settled in Johnson 1859. Shortly after the war he moved to Bates county where he has since | resided. Mr. Wolfe has been twice elected to the se of Surveyor and Bridge Commissioner of Bates county and served for four years as Mine Inspector under appointment by the county court, which office he filled with satisfaction both to the miner and operator. He has taken a promi nent part in local polities for a mum ber of years, but has never made himself obnoxious to the people or been accused of any dishonorable practices. He is an honorable, just gentleman, true to his friends and without a bitter resentment to those who despitefully Mr. Wolfe is a practical miner and civil him. engi and will labor assidously to do full justice to the miner as well to protect the interests of the opera eer tor. 2ud the Governor has made no tinistake in confirming his oppoint- lient NATURAL GAS. lu interests of the country which nat ral vas has was first u i824. in Fredonia, Canutar eOULLY, Yn oily bored to the depth of Was 27 feet.

The use of natural gas in manu- factories has given a cheaper fuel thereby giving a big advantage. over all competitors not thus favorably located. Manufacturers are not slow in appreciating this fact and are rap- idly taking advantage of it. and if this cheap fuel is not accessible, are preparing to move their manufacto- ries to localities where they can se- cure this product in large quantities. It has been asserted by learned geologists that only in the Missis- sippi Valley is this gas found in large quantities. Only after much study and vast researches has this conclu- sion been deduced. Now, granting this to be true, the only conclusion that would naturally follow is that the whole of the Mississippi Valley, where the gas is found will be a vast manufacturing section.
