Old "Brick" Pomeroy who made
fame and a fortune in the La Crosse
Democrat, during the w ar, is about
to start a democratic paper in Wash
ington. "Brick" has outlived his
usefulness as a newspaper man. In
his palmv days he was a prolific and
powerful writer, and did valiant work
for the party; but when it wasclosed
and Pendleton's gieenback plans
were defeated, he became a drifter
upon the political seas, and found h s
days of usefulness goire. Sedalia
Democrat.
Stl 1 in the Field.
A Democrat reporter while com
ing down Third street yesterday fell
in company with Mr. John A. V rong,
traveling freight agent tor this divis
ion of the Gould system, and from
him learned that farmers were al
most discouraged in many places in
Kansas and Missouri at the long
continuation of the bad weather.
The severe cold weather lroze the
eaith to a great depth and hence the
thaw proceeds slowly. This in turn
prevents them from getting into the
fields and removing the corn which
had been out so long. "More than
half the crop." said he, "is stiil in
the field and country merchants have
been compelled to wait all the while
for the corn to be sold, and hence
the money is kept otit ot circulation.
This will doubtless go toward allevi
ating the stringency ot money mat
ters. Sedalia Democrat.
Congreismau Stone's Taritt Vi
Hon. W. J. Stone, Congressman
from this district, has expressed him
self as follows on the tariff question
to a reporter of the N. Y. Machinist :
"I am not in fayor of a tariff
which protects for the mere sake of
protection. The only proper lawful
purpose for w hich a tariff may be
levied is the raising of such revenues
as are necessary for public use. I
tsvor the reduction of the present
tariff. In this regard, hewever, I
mean to be conservative. I am op
posed to any ra'dical measure, such
as will unsettle business or create
any widespread injury because ot a
to sudden change. Let the princi
ple of a "tariff for revenue only"
become the rule of action, and then
let the end he reached gradually,
and in sucii a way that business will
have time to adjust itself accordingly.
In other words, apply a little com
mon sense, both in making laws and
obeving them."
