TERMS OF .SUiWCRIPTION: I he Week.IV liMKs, puoni-rieu eery Wednesday, will be sent to any address one year, postage paid, for $1.25. Th body of Stonewall Jackson has been plueed in a new grave. Tb New York farmers alliance refuse to take 11? with the tbird pur ty movement. Tbe city papers bare it that Mrs. John A. Logan, in soon to marry a New York millionaire. A bronze statute of Henry Ward Beecber, tbe great preacber was uu Tailed in Brooklyn New York, laht week. The Globe-Democrat thinks tbat defeat would be more burtful to re publicana in Ohio tban to demo crats. A democrat bas been appointed city treasurer of Philadelphia, in place of Bardsley the republican de faulter. From reading tbe papers it would eeni that Yale and Harvard colleges have been turned into base ball training schools. William Hays bas just retired from the Brooklyn police force with a penson of $550 a year and a for tune of $40,000. Officer Hays ap peals to have clubbed the tree of prosperity as vigorously as the iieadg of the vicious. The Republicans of the country would bo sorry to lose Pennsylvania; but this would be a smaller calamity than holding it while it is dominat I by its present bosse?, and being obliged toopologize for their villainy. Globe Democrat. Senator Plumb in speaking of free ilver the other day and what would he done in congress said, Wall street taunt go. When the people tackle a great question the politician drops to ins knees. By the way Senator Plumb is a pretty good tariff re former also. (Senator Brice, chairman of the national democratic committee, has gone to Europe. In his absence Senator Gorman of Maryland will take charge of the committee and take a band in the Ohio campaign. It is said McKinley and Quay would be glad to see Mr. Brice cut his visit short. "Secretary Foster has issued a cir cular specifying the classes of irai grauta that are not desired in this country. The list includes '.paupers and idiots." This part of the circu lar will be denounced by Quay and Dudley as being against the interests .uf tbe republican party. "Mrs. Elizabeth L. Harrison, wid owof the president's brother, has just been granted a penson and giv. n back pay amounting to $8,329.93. Her application bad been previously disallowed upon two different occa sions, but then that was before her brother-in-law became presides t. Public office is a family swap in the republican creed. awFy .1 - - - J President Hall of the Missouri alliance is fighting the sub-treasury scheme and he should have the as sistance of every farmer in this state. Suppose congress should pass 'the sub-treasury scheme, of what use would it be to the farmers of this ounty. Do you suppose a warehouse would be located here, if you do you would miss it bad as it is extremely doubtful .whether this congessional district would get one. The campaign in New York this year like that in Ohio, hs national Interest and significance. A Gover nor and other State officers, a Leg islature in both branches, a Con gressman to succeed the late Gen Spinola, ten justices of the Supreme Court, a Mayor of Brooklyn, and numerous county officers are to be chosen. This not only implies prizes well worth contending for at any time but the result of the election will have a direct and potent bear ing upon the great battle of next year fer the possession of the Gov-rnment.

Ca.dwed of the Lr.e purpose ol tbe petition is praying the county court to employ expert bookkeepers to investigate the rec ords of the different county officers for the past twelve years. Another stipulation in this petition is that the court shall take the money out of the county treasury to pay the ex pense of this investigation. One of these petition papers was receiv ed by a gentleman living south of the river a Bhort time ago, but he refused to circulate it. Just why the originators of this petition want to go back over a period of twelve years, covering the democratic ad ministration of county affairs, and let the republicans go free is not set forth in the petition. Neither does the document give the signer the faintest idea or conception of the cost of employing experts to do the work of twelve years standing. It simply asks the court to go ahead with the investigation regardless of expense that it may be ascertained how the books have been kept. Well, this bookkeepiug business was the hue and cry of the union la bor party during the campaign. Their song was, books and banks aud banks and books, aud we took it as a matter of course they were going elect officers fully competent to overhaul the records and expose to broad daylight all the defalcations aud bad doings of both the republi cans aud democrats for the past twenty years But we never dream ed of this economical party being so bold and extravagant as to o down into tbe pockets of the county treas ury after the money to pay experts to do this job. However, we may have been on the baek track in regard to that 40 eent levy, as that extra 10 cent might have been put ou to defray the ex pense of this investigation instead of paying the county attorney's criminal costs. 0ASS AND ST- CLAIR C0 BONDS The county court and the citizens of Cass county are now in a greater dilemma over their railroad bonded debt than they have ever been Their late interview with Judfre Phillips of the United States court, at Kansas City, has placed the coun ty judges in a position where longer escape from actiou is impossible and their further refusal to act in the matter of payment of the debt is likely to get them iuto serious trouble. Consequeuty the judges have called a delegated meeting of representative tax-payers of the dif ferent townships of the county to meet with the court at Harrison ville July tth, to formulate a plan of compromise to be offered the bond holders. In presenting the matter of a settlement to the county judges Judge Phillips said: These bond debts were properly c.Uled fraudulent but yet their legal ity has been affirmed by the highest courts. That all lawful means of resistance had been exhausted by the county. That it has ceased to be a question of justice or injustice aud the question ujw is what can the people pay. That to talk of a forcible resistance to the levy of a tax or to its collection was utter fol ly. That it would be wise for the holders of these claims and the peo ple to adjust their differences and that action must be taken at once." He continued the causes until the first Monday of September, and stated that by that date the people and the bondholders and judgement creditors must agree upon a basis of settlement and in case they could not agree a basis would then be fix ed by him which he would promptly enforce. That should the people refuse to sanction a compromise up on said terms as he should consider reasonable and the county judges still refuse to levy a tax in obedience to the writs said judges would be severely punished. He said his court had deferred action for years in the hope that a complete adjust ment could be effected by mutual concessions, but that a crisis had now been reached and no further de lay would be granted. He urged the tax-payers to give the matter their immediate attention and not to delude themselves with the idea that the federal court would not en- wnoan iei.u im awui me same :is that of Cass county NAMKD A FT K II JKr FIl.SON DAVIS.

All the gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, petroleum and lead produced iu tbi-i country last year could not pay ilie expenses of the government for tho same length of time. All the the ottou, all the wool, or all the rye, u u ley, wine potatoes and the to bacco produced iu this country a year could not do it. The national banks of tuts country have a combin ed capitalization of $599,000,000. One year expenses of the government would all but swallow up this sum. Thesj uie liyuren on jfuveruiueut taxation alone. Add to this city, county and State taxation, and some thing of the enormity of the burden may be comprehended. The Unit ed States has no yreat standing ar my, no government railroads, no im mense navy, no profligate court of kings and princes. Yet its annual expenditures are greater than those of Austria and Great Britain and Ire land, or the Germau Empire, great er than British, India, and Chiua, us great as those of the Russian Em pire. Th revenue for the enormous expenditure is acquired iu but one way, by taxation, by levy iu one form or an other, mainly in an indirect form, ou the sjbstauueu of the peo ple. The St. Louis Republic announces that its great feature from now un til the end of the campaign of 1892 will be a tariff department which will be given large epactj iu the weekly as well as iu the daily. The depart ment will be edited by Hon. Wil liam L- Wilson, of West Virginia, a member of the ways aud means com mittee, and one of the ablest demo crats in congress, aud in addition to the articles he promises, there will be contributions from the ablest and most authoritative writers ou the various phases of the tariff question. The departments begins early in July. The Weekly Republic, two issues a week, one mailed Tuesday and one Friday, is only one dollar a year. Sample copy free. Impnled ly au Iron Bar. Altooua, Pa, June 26. Shortly before noon to day at the large quarries at Piuey creek Robert Cal bert and a gang of men prepared two blasts and fired them. Our, however, failed to explode. Calbert took a sixteen foot bar and prepar ed to drill it out. He placed the end of the bar in the hole and let it drop, when aa explosion occurred. Twelve feet of the bar was driven through his body and it ia said his screams were heard half a mile. The remainder of the bar was pulled through the wound and after twen ty minutes of agony he died. Whitelaw Ried has been called upon to explain why he imported two marble layers from Austria to work on his new house, contrary to the labor law. Mr. Reid will perhaps explain that he thought that great republican editors were exempt from the law. Kansas City Star. rmlio.ul a!iJ H. M.
