The last car load of flour we sold was Jersey Cream: Wesold it at $1.25 per sack when allother were ask- ing $1.40 per sack. This caused a@ kick among our competitors and through their influence the mill re- fused to sell us any more of Jersey Cream unless we would raise the price to $1.40 which we would not do.

The party or parties who placed them there undoubtedly has some syite against the company, and in order to reek his vengeance took in his hands the lives of innocent persons, for there is no doubt but what the obstruction would have de- railed the next passing train. A per- son who is guilty of such a diaboli- cal crime, when apprebended, should be hanged by the neck until dead.— Pleasanton Herald. Butler's citizens held a meeting recently, at the suggestion of her ministers to formulate a plan to open upa public reading room in that city. Such an enterprise is worthy the consideration of every town of any note in the state. A place of resort for both the young and old where leisure and idle time can be passed, would be valuable in direct- ing the steps of mavy from the as- sociations ef the viscious, as well as cultivating the mind. But it isa noted fact that it is difficult to find enough persons sufliciently interest ed to pay the expenses of opening and maintaing such places in the fact that surplus wealth can not be put toa much better use. -—Clinton Democrat.

Jones, ina dignified editor | ial emphatically denies that he is a candidate for congressman-at large. He is one of the few American statesmen who considers his profes. sicn above holding public office. Af- ter quoting the charge that he is a candidate, made by certain papers, he says: Under these circumstances— though it is a good rule not to de- line anything until it is offered—it is proper to say that the editor of he Republic is not a candidate for any office whatever, and would not accept the position of Congressman at-large even were the nomination, which cf course would be equiva lent to an election, tendered him. In fact,he would accept no office ef any kind that would conflict in any way with his duties as editor of the Re public, his conviction being that in the performance ef those duties he can render greater services to the party and contribute more largely to the success of the principles and politics which he believes in and ad- vocates than he could render in any official position whatsoever.” It is a great pity that like inde pendence and love of profession is not exhibited by more of our jour- nalists, professional and business mer In such anevent the glamor of pubiic office would be removed to @ great extent.

Once upon atime there dwelt in St. Louis a person—yclept Bogy— General Begy. He was aman of such note as to enjoy the wrath and scorn of Tom Benton, who made speeches about him and said bis name was not Bogy but Bogus. In those crude days this little flight of Benton was deemed the height of wit and an undoubted “hoss” on General Bogy. The other day a |grandson of General Bogy was in- continentally discharged from the pension department, where he held down a moderate clerkship, for writing a book. It was a novel bas- ed on department life and unmask- ed the hidden gaities of department heads and the ladies who work in the vinyard of pensions. Raum felt very badly about it. So did sev- e-al gallant statesmen of the senate and the house, who saw pictures of themselves in the book. So indeed did numberless ladies of the pen- sions, who tearfully declared they knew themselves described in Bogy’s volume. These ladies wrung their hands and declared vengeance on the catiff Bogy: As some hundreds of ladies feel aggrieved, and as only two or three female characters appear in the people in the grand stand as sus picious. Raum, with his usual good sense, discharged Bogy the other day, and of course Bogy and his book were at once promoted from dark ubscur- ity to prominenee. book, and the general verdict of the men at the clubs and hetels, men who should easily know, is that Bo- gy did not tell half the truth. and gave indeed nothing better than a dim outline picture of the utter mor- al rottenness which enfolds the pen- sion department like a black cloud. The next congress it is understood, will probe Raum and his department to the bone,not forgetting Bogy and his book.
