The Democratic party ot Mississippi, of which the governor is a Shining light, has for years struck the Goddess of Liberty a death blow, by stuffing ballot boxes, murdering negroes and swearing to false returns, all of which Gov. Lowry has quietly approved of. Mississippi virtue seems to be of a spasmodic and inconsistent nature.-- Every Saturday. ' f&^NOrristowu Herald: "Some one says that, taking the railroads mile for mile, there are three accidents in the North to one in the South. It is a "Wonder the proportion is not greater. On sr me of the railroads in the South, when the engineer sees an obstruction on the track a mile ahead, he, without slacking the speed of his train, jumps off, runs ahead, and removes the cause of the threatened accident, and than waits «few minutes for his engine -oome Wlon*" J K#*' Assistant Secretary of the Treas­ ury Batchellor does not believe in Mug- wumpery. Among the applicants for Ohief of a division in one of the bureaus under him was a $1,600 clerk who was heavily endorsed by leading Republicans. Accidentia it was learned that the same clerk wa» mi applicant for the name position under the last administration and a few minutes search revealed the fa£t that at that time his endorsers were all Democrats. He is one of the thrifty kind that always manage to keep solid with the party in power. He not only got left in getting a promotion but, it having been found necessary in order to keep within an appropriation for two $1,600 clerks to be reduced to $1,400, he was one of them. * Our regular Washington corres­ pondent says: Secretary Noble had created a commotion by appointing a committee to investigate the rerating ol pensions for the past twelve months. "What does it mean?" Was asked on all sides, and all sorts of sensational an­ swers have been given. Your "correspon­ dent has interviewed Secretary Noble, Assistant Secretary Russey and Com­ missioner Tanner on the subject, aud/fean therefore tell exactly what it means. For quite a while Secretary Noble has been flooded with complaints about the looseness of the methods in vogue in the Pension office in regard to the re-rating of pensions; it was alleged that a large number of the employes of that office had within the last year had themselves re-rated illegally, and, that they were drawing large amounts of money to which they were not entitled. At first the Secretary paid little attention to these complaints believing them to t»e -on a par with the usual complaints of the class of people who oppose our whole pension system and everything connected therewith. But the complaints continu­ ing to increase he called the attention of Commissioner Tanner to the matter, and that gentlemau, after a little investiga­ tion, caiiie to the conclusion that the re-rating had been very carelessly done, if there had been no criminality on the part of the employes having charge of the matter. It was then decided as the best thing to do to have the system thoroughly investigated, and at the request of Commissioner Tanner the same committee has been authorized to investigate the charges of favoritism that have been made against the office. The system of re-rating now in use was managed by Gen. Black when he was Commissioner of Pensions, and nobody blames Commissioner Tanner foj* what has happened under it, though it is ex­ pected that the investigation will show that certain employes presumed on his well knowji friendliness towards the pen­ sioners to prevent his looking too closely into the doubtful cases they had re-rated. The committee now investigating the matter consists of Dr. Geo. Ewing and H. L. Bruce, of the board of pension appeals, and Judge F. L. Campbell, of the Assistant Attorney General's office. Their instructions are to get at the facts, no matter who they may effect. They are now holding daily sessions in a room at the Pension office. •VV'U While the case of Electricity vs. Hemp is being fought out by the ex­ perts, it is well to remember that, alter all, the worst ride of executions at present is their effect on the public and not on the criminal. No one can attend a hanging out of vulgar curiosity, or make a practice of devouring the loath­ some details served up by the sensational dailies, without degradation. Even if the new law is declared unconstitutional, there is no reason why New York and her water states should not follow the ex­ ample set by Minnesota. In that state scesr aaxt week the first execution under a new law which provides that, besides the condemned, only the sheriff, deputies, and physicians shall be present at an execution, and that only the bare announncement of the hanging shall be published. I®"The New York Sun says: "Ten days ago a party of school teachers left this port on the steamer City of Rome, bound for Europe, where they are to spend the weeks of their vacation. On Monday last their example was followed by two other large parties of school teachers, one ot them from Cincinnati, and the other from New England, who left here on the Servia. Still another large party ol school teachers is to sail to-day on the State of Nevada, and yet other parties of them are to be aboard several of the steamers that leave here next week. There must be nearly thousand men and women in the various parties of American school teachers that have been gathered together for the pur­ pose of making European tours this year. May they all have a profitable and pleasant time while abroad." IST* Gen. Palmer complains that "in many of the States organized wealth has controlled the election of Senators and dictated to the legislatures the persons to elect.1" No doubt the General speaks the truth in this matter, but he should bear in mind that when he uses these words he deals his pwn party a fearful blow. In no States in the Union has organized wealth" been employed in such a shameful and disgraceful manner to "control the election of Senators" as in certain States in which the legislature was Democratic. In California Senator Hearst, a Democrat, owes his election wholly to the skillful and dishonest use of money. Gorman, of Maryland, was not only placed in the United States Senate, but has been kept at the head of the Democratic party of his State for years by the power of "organized wealth." Senator Brown, of Georgia, is a millionaire whose money has been em­ ployed freely to advance his political interests. H. B. Payne, of Ohio, is now in the senate, and he owes his election to the lavish use of the money which was furnished by certain members, of the Standard Oil Co.--True Republican. k - Boiler Mills Swept Away. *' A special telegram from Fullertoii, Uieb., underdate of July 15th, says The storm of Saturday did much dam­ age. A number of shade trees were broken «lown and the walls of a brick building in the course of erection were totally des­ troyed. The Fullerton roller mills are a complete wreck. A force of men worked ut the mill race Saturday night, but no upeeial fears were entertained for the inill till 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, "when the head gate to the mill race gave •way. Within half an hour from this •time the mill went down. Every availa- 1>le wagon and dray in town turned out tUMi most of the flour and feed was saved tJuatfftJr night the storage room adjoin ingthe piill was destroyed. The loss is ggtintasfeftd at some $15,000. TMjp*! property was purchased some months »y the firm of Martin Potter & Co., of Saint Paul, Neb. They had made arrangements for extensive improvements, and iu fact already com tnenc@d the work--among other things putting in an electric plant to light the city. A move is on foot among the I'itiaeus to see what can be done to make I$o<h} the loss. The Fullerton roller mills svere the main manufacturing interest of the town, and the loss will be felt iu all ' jmrte of the adjoining country-. The senior member of the firm named above, is A. A.

Xieonard Swett and David Davis, Many persons thought it strange that, intimate as Licoln was with Leonard Swett, he never gave him any office, and Swett was often asked the reason. He always evaded the question, but in a letter to Mr. Herndon, written a short time before Mr. Swett died, the latter explained this fact. It seems that when David Davis was a candidate for the Supreme bench, soon alter Lincoln's election, he was opposed by a Senator of great influence named Browning, whom Lincoln was almost ready to appoint Swett was a warm friend of David Davis, and, going to the President, he said: If you will give that place to Davis will take it as one-half for him and one- half for myself, and never again will ask you for anything." Davis got the appointment, and Swett was true to his word. He said not long before his death, that he was always glad that he kept out of office.--Lew'mtoo Journal. Fish Propagation and Protection. It is proposed by parties interested in the preservation and propagation of the fishes in the state of Illinois to form a state organization. In connection with the above proposi­ tion, S. P. Bartlett, secretary of the board of fish commissioners of this fetate has suggested to the Fox River Fish and Game association, to issue a call for convention for the purpose of forming such organization. , Complying with the suggestion, the Fox River Fish and Game association hereby calls on all fishing clubs, and all those interested, to correspond with John Wilkinsou, 150 Kinzie street, Chi­ cago, respecting the time and place such convention; and also all other ger- main matters which might properly be pi interest before such convention. Not So Bad as It Might Be. Buffalo Express: Most of the Araeri cans who denounce upper chambers as "aristocratic" and "unpopular" have in mind the United States Senate, about which a great deal of nonsense is written and printed in this country.
