AN UNWARRANTED DISCRIMINA
TION. We aro pleased to observe on the part
of tbo Illinois Press Association, a dis
position manifested to demand from tho
law-making power of Illinois abeflttlnB
recognition of tbe claims of the prow.
Tho existing laws, regulating tho prices
for tbe publication of tax sale notices,
estrny notices, etc., are an Insult to every
Intelligent publisher in tho State. Tno
amouutn named as adequate compensa
tion for such publications are, simply, In
sulting. They scarcely repay the cost of
tho composition; butto arguo wlthsomo
peoplo tho contrary, is to lose time and
waste breath. "Tho law allows ,so much
aud they'll pay no more."
Wo hold it to bo a gross assumption of
authority on the part of the legislature to
touch this matter at all. Printing Is a
legitimate, respectable, and should be,
an untrammelled and unrestricted oc
cupation. Tho legislature has no more
right to say whaUhe prices of tho prin
ter or publisher shall be, than it haH to
regulate tho wages of carpenters and
blacksmiths, or to fix the pi ices to be
charged by merchants and physicians
save only when tho patronage Is directly
under its control, as In tho case of pub
lishing public laws. No reasonable,
rational discrimination against the pub
lisher can bo made; aud the representa
tives of the press owe it to themselves,
to the dignity of their calling to resent
every attempt In that direction, as un
warrantable and insulting. The laborer
can fix a prico upon his labor; tho grocer
upon his goods; but tho publisher a if
he were a scoundrel, from whose extor
tions tho public required protection; or
an idiot who kuuw nothing about his own
business is told by an "itmnonsely
wise" legislature that for certain services
rendered his neighbor or patron he can
collect so much and no more!
Isn't It about time for tho editorial fra
ternity todemund "equal rights" in this
regard to teach our law-makers that, al
though wo aro merely editors and pub
lishers, we have rights that they must
aud shall respect? Wo think so, aud
therefore receive with sincere satisfac
tion tho Intimations already thrown out
that this mutter will receive at tho hands
of the Press Association the action its
importance demands.
OJt A IN AND FLOUJt B USINES'S A T
CAIllO.
We extract the following paragraph,
referring to the through grain trade and
Cairo Uour market, from tho correspond
ence of tho P&ducah 'Kontuckian :'
We And tho merchants and other bus
iness men of tho city In line spirits, In
anticipation of u brilliant future for
them. As the great "grain strugglo" bo
tweon Bt. Louis and Chicago is likely to
terminate in favor of tho former city,
which fact will briug Chicago capitalists
here to Intercept the trade, which can he
done, In part, at all seasons, aud In full
during the winter season when tho river
above is locked up with Ice. One Chi
cago company has already erected an
elevator here which is capable of hand
ling somo 250 car loads of freight per
day.
This is already one of the best flour
markebi in the West.
During tho mouth of March Inst there
were shipped from here 50,122 barrels,
excluslvo of that which was shipped by
river from above, aud this is during a
season when tho river wad not free from
ice above.
The olevator of which mention is made
is proprlotored by Messrs. Buckingham,
of Chicago, who tuko rank among tho
most prominent grain operators In tho
United States. ThobulidiiiK has a stor-
ago capacity of about 600,000 bushels, and
facilities for elevating about l2(),uuu bush
els evory twonty.four hours.
Tho Hour trade In Cairo is compara
tively now, hut Is augmenting qulto rap
idly, since tho fact has beon repeatedly
demonstrated thnt our merchants can
aud do maintain a successful competi
tion with tit. Louis.
UNIONISM THAT DOESN'T PAY.
Tho President nominated Colonel
Crowe, an ox-robel, for the Governorship
of Now Moxico, and tho radical senate
continued him, to supersede tho present
governor, Col. Mitchell, who was a union
ofllcerand did gallant sorvice.
Governor Mitchell hus undoubtedly ,
ascertained that unionism In his case
doesn't pay. This sanio rebel Crowo
gave him and his little command a
whipping in Missouri durlug tho war,
aud now he turns up again and kioks
him out of a cozy office.
This is the way tho, radical pack at
Washington rowards the country's de
serving heroes.
An exchange paper tells the following:
"Ono olthe iusano In the Raleigh (N.C.)
asylum recently visited tho Legislature
Upon his roturu, ,tho '.superintendent
asked him what ho thought of it. Re
lapsing into n 'brown study! for a mo
ment, no looked up and suld: 'Well, I
think they aro a branch of this. establish
ment." Tho area of Minnesota Is 84,000 square
miles, or 63,700,000 acres larger tuau
tho six Now England States.

A correspondent of tho Paducah ,Kou
tucklim' writing from Cairo, confessed
himself fascinated by the good looking
dining room girls of tho St. Charles
hotel. Feasting on their beauty and
graces no rorgot nts victuals, ho
says, however, that If tho Introduc
tion of theso haudsome girls Into the
dining room was a trick of Swift's to
economize "grub," it is altogether par
donable. So it goes. When a Paducahite comes
to Cairo he loses his heart. When a
Calrolto goes to Paducah ho losos his
pocket book.
A lot of dead-beats have been playing
