The Thiladi lphia Heron! say: The
meaage of President Cleveland i an
nppeal nptinsl vicious, im-puitalile and
linni'Ct'fMiry taxation baed on the idea
of sustaining unprolitnble industries at
the expense of prolitable industries.
Til k bureau of Engineer for river
improvement reports the Wabash,
Western U all way m building a dike at
Camden, in this county, that will en
daper navigation. As the report was
made to Congress, the matter will
doubtless le investigated.
A California doctor ha a device for
making it rain at will. Head all aUmt
it on the fourth p:tgeofthis i-ue. l!
his project proves a sucet'ss there U- no
more extended drouths in this country,
not even if prohibition should reach the
point where it will prohibit.
It is now at-tiled. Mr. IJIaine will
agiiiti be the Republican presidential
candidate. He takes issue with Mr.
Cleveland's message, and ba ru-hed
frantically tothe rescue of the protrac
ted monopolies of eastern at a tea. It is
not the first time Mr. Blaine has made
ft mistake.
It now given out that Hun. J no.
M. Jovcr, a St. Louis member of eon
press, has entered the race for povern
or of Missouri. He ha many strong
friends in that city as well a many
strong enemies and we are not prepar
ed to expreft an opinion on bis candi
dacy.
Tut lipht net year will be on the
tnrilT reform. The H-publican pnrtv
will e-poiiso the priiw of the m:iniif:tc-ttr-'iiiK
monopolies, while the lemo
' I'arty will take the side of the
people. The Hepubiicaii will have
the mo-d money, but the Uemocrata
will Lave the most rotes and conse
qoeutly will in the contest.
Ed. Corriran, a brutal reflian, made
a cowardly assiilt on lr. M. Munford,
of the Kaunas City Times, on Monday
lut. in which the latter was somewhat
worried, bulnut seriously burt.lt was the
act of a coward, as the attack was made
in a dark stairway by the burly ruffian,
on a man in no way his equal physical
ly. The Doctor should keep hit pun
ready ready fox uth cowardly sneaks.
It is all a mistake to suppose that the
democratic nomination for governor of
the Treat State of Missouri is going to
ofl'er itself to Judge Norton unsolicited.
The fact is that the young democracy
of the state will have something to say
in the matter, and this element want
to see a chief Executive of the slate
who is a "rustier;" a man w ho will
make his intluence felt from Maine to
California. Is Norton such a man?
Soma person has mentioned Y. A.
Yeiiuer, of Stttbolnriy, & a suitable
man for Lieutenant governor on the
democratic ticket. The first time we ev
er saw YYeinier was at the democratic
congressional convention, at Chill jco the
in 173, and we are free to confers tbat
he made just about a unfavorable an
impression on our mind at that time a
It was possible to make. In less Wei
mer hat changed bis practices very
radically, be is no timber for sncb a
position.
Tne republican national convention,
to nominate candidates for president
and vice-president, has been called to
xueet in C hicago, on the l'.Uh day of
June, Ihnh. Several cities, Su Luuir
among the number, made an effort to
(secure the convention, but Chicago
drew the prize. It is pretty well set
tled tbat Mr. ltlaine will again bead
the republican ticket, and the only
contest in the convention will be for
the second place.
The l'reftuyturain ministers of Si.
Louis tteciu to be opposed to takinir an
n.-'.ive part in the Local Option oiitest.
'iu y are of the opinion that theropr
i- in le to save the world. Ceutralia
(LUiI d.
Tut: duse of Christianity would be
i. -n fed everywhere if men, profits
' chri-itain teachers would ail
lime an vfuul amount of faith in the
(iuKpcl of JeusChrist, as that expre----td
by the I'niJibytcnan ministers. Lack
of faith in the power of the Gopel to
aave, ii what causes souie preachers to
want to add a prohibition amendment
to that i;o-.pel.
Mr. Kuiid.tll sas; "'There can be
nui'u cLlargtumil of the free lit and

without the least injury, however, to
