There is no iwftnon for it. It is open and unblushing robl>ery. It is just such infamies that make laboring men dissatisfied and some times rebellious. If a retail dealer dares to stfll below the established price these barons soon make him taste the bitter- Here of their tyranny. •ST* It is hard to please jpemocratic or­ gans. Twenty-five years ago "the im intense public debt would never be paid." Later they groaned because it was being "paid too rapidly." Last year they united in a prolonged groan about "the evil of a great surplus in the treasury." Now they are combining in the whine over "the certain deficit." In the mean­ time the party which saved the nation and inaugurated all its prosperity is at the helm and the public will feel safe.

J have found it necessary to Postpone as above, but can nay it will •ponitivefy take- place on • Ipatriate. jVIt will not be surprising if the presi­ dent calls an extra session of Congress to meet immediately after the November elections. Such a course is considered necessary by a great many Republican senators and members, who forsee the trouble there will be in passing the elec­ tion bill, the apportionment bill, and the regular appropriation bills at the short session, and who recognize the' value of the three weeks which aa extra session might make use of before the time for the regular session to meet in December. I®*"Congressman Hopkins, of the Com­ mittee on Post Offices and Post Roads, had charge of the Anti-Lottery bill which passed the House a few days since. If it becomes a law it will do much to sup­ press the infamous business in Louisiana that has such a corrupting and demoral influence upon tens of thousands of people. Mr. Hopkins was very ly complimented upon the skill and lility with which he managed the bill, e is recognized as one of the Inadtim in the House.--Sandwich Gazette» - HON. FRANZ AMBERG. The nominee of the Republican State Convention for State Treasure is a well known citiieu or Chicago, a reputable business man, and one who is highly esteemed in all eirelws of society. We present a portrait of Mr. Am berg, also a brief review ol his life. Mr. Amberg was born Sept. 1st., 1837, in Germany. lie attended school and acquired a good business education. He worked at the wagon-maker's trade. Upon the breaking out of the war he enlisted in the First Illinois Cavalry, and served till the close of the war as a private, participating in the battles of South Mountain, Antietum, and other battles in Virginia, serving under General Crook and Rosen- cranz. In !>Ki5 be returned to Chicago and became engaged in the grain business, and for nine vears has been a meml»er of the Board of Trade. In 1871, in connec­ tion with the late ex-Sheriff John Hoffman, established his present livery business at 156 and 158 W. Washington St , and upou the election of Mr. Hoffman to the office of Sheriff, Mr. Amberg succeeded to the entire control of the business. Governor Oglesbv appointe I Mr. Anilierg one of the Penitentiary Commissioner* and he dis­ charged the duties of that office most acceptably. He is a No a mem Iter of several singing societies nnd at a late meeting of the Saengerfest was elected president ol the society. He is also president of the United Singing Society, in which body he is highlv regarded. He is a member of Lessing Lodge, No. A. F. & A. M., Wash­ ington Chapter. R. A. M., Chicago Commandery, No. 19, Oriental Consi tor.v 32°, S. P. R. S„ and Medinah Temple A. A O. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He is also a member of Syria Lodge, I. O. G. F. and Excelsior Encampment, also a member of the Sharpshooters Society. He was recently elected President of the German Old People's Home, aud has always contributed liberally to these societies. About two years ago he was elected President of the German-American Republican Club. N< man stands higher in the estimation of business men thau Franz Amberg, and he is eminently worthy of the high honor that has been conferred upon him. A little over a year ago Mr. Amberg WHS elected City Clerk, the onlv man thus honored on the Republican city ticket. This is an evidence of his extreme popularity. lepop |&~It seems incredible at this day of the railroad and telegraph that an entire town could be taken possession of by a lot of desperadoes, aud be run in defiance of law, order, police force and the just vengeance ot its citizens, without being interrupted from without or hindered within; yet such is the fact. Bucyrus was the scene of this reign of terror- Accompanying Sells' circus was an ap­ parently well organized band of ruffians, numbering perhaps twenty-five. During the night, while the performance was go­ ing on, they committed burglaries throughout the village, and concluded their wholesale housebreaking by sand­ bagging aud robbing the citizens on their return home. So bountiful,wa* the har­ vest of their crimes that they decided to abandon the circus for the time being, and to devote themselves to the purpose of leaving nothing of value in the place. nothing small or trifling | The f01^ I®" There's about the demands made by the Third Party Prohibitionists of Nebraska in their State convention. These wholesale reformers go iu for a lot of changes in the existing order of things. Incidentally they want prohibition, bnt they also want woman's suffrage, they want the 8tate to own the railways and give every­ body transportation at cost, aud they want the President, {he Vice President and the 8enate of the United States elected by the direct vote of the people. On such a platform as this a choice col­ lection of cranks should be able to roost. 10-Messrs. Mason, of Illinois; Walker, 'of Massachusetts; Wilson, of Washington and Beck with, of New Jersey, converted the congressional arena into a prize ring last week. The lard bill kicked up the fuss and these "honorable" representa­ tives not only indulged in the use of blank blankety blank expressions of the blank­ est sort, but actually attempted to fight it out. Mr. Mason amused himself by trying to punch Mr. Walker and Messrs. Wilson and Beckwith actually clinched for a grand pugilistic settlement, and all on account of the great American hog whose interests these men seem specially qualified to protect. Let pe%ce have a victory, gentlemen. The hogs of Ameri­ ca blush at such conduct, even if it is in their behalf. isrif the following from the {ten of CoL Henry Waters on represents the senti­ ments of the South, they are not so bad rebels after all. In a recent issue of his paper, the Louisville Courier-Journal he says: "Happily, we have that flag back again, that flag which never floated over a mean and cowardly nation, whose history is an unbroken story of patriot- inn and valor, and which, as ift spreads itsell to the battle and the breeze, to the : sunshine and the storm, tells to heaven and earth as plainly as words could tell the origin and genius of our great Re public. God bless the flag! The South was never so fortunate as when she found herself once more encircled by its folds, drawn at Appomattox by the bands of a far-seeing,magnanimous and braveman awed. People were clubbed and robbed on all sides until, at length, burdened with their treasure, the gang withdrew. Six of the merchants of the town are con­ fined in bed, with wounds received in en­ counters with the thieves, and two are in a critical condition. This experience does not speak very eloquently for the courage of town officials in that partic­ ular part of Ohio. Dead Fiah. Fish Warden Buck has just returned from down the river, where he found a state of affairs not compatible with un­ ruffled feelings on the part of lovers ot piscatorial pursuits. At Batavia four wagon loads of dead suckers, pike, black bass, bullheads, pickerel, etc., had just been hauled from Fox River, and were to be gotten rid of by plowing under. He noticed during bis cursory inspection some tine large specimens--pike nearly three feet long. The mortality is at+rihnted to the dumping of large amounts of refuse into the river at Geneva, by the glucose con - pany. The water is said to be poisoned for a long distance below Geneva. It is understood that a batch of spoiled stuff, containing much acid, was turned into the stream, although the company claims that nothing but gluten ineal has been scattered to the waters. Mr. Buck has consulted an attorney of high standing, and will probably take such proceeding to prevent a recurrence of the deplorable affair as the case war­ rants. Certainly it is to be hoped that the fish in the Fox are to be fostered and not destroyed in any such wholesale manner.--Elgfn Advocate. Car" We find the following in the Aurora Bencon which will be of interest to the Agriculturists of McHenry county. Some recent tests of milk made at. i he ex|>eri- ment station at the Uuiversity of Illinois threaten to almost revolutionize the dairy business. Heretofore it has always been customary for the creameries and butter-makers to purchase milk of fanners without any refeience to the amount of butter fat which the milk con­ tained. These tests at the university reveal the fact that the percentage ol butter fat in the milk submitted varied all the way from six to two and three- tenths the best being worth fully two and a half times the poorest for purposes of butter-making. It must soon follow a" a matter of course that the dairymen will avail themselves of Some device for testing the milk and wilj not pay so much per gallon for milk irrespective of the quantity of butter fat which the mjlk contains,, If one farmer markets a quality of milk which contain* more butter ihan that of his neighbor he is entitle I in all fairnes to a better price. The time will no doubt, soou corne when the milk as it is brought to the creamery will fgi through a machine which will register it* butter-making capacity and the farme» or dairyman will receive his pay accord­ ing to the percentage indicate d by the register. This, in time, will cause a weeding out of all poor #tock among fartnersand they will raise only those breeds of cows which give Milk that is richest in butter fat. The Battle of Gettysburg. We beg leave to advise onr our readers to be sure and not forget to see the Panorama of the battle of Gettysburg, while in Chicago during the Exposition. Take advantage of the low rates aud see Gettysburg. There is no picture in the world like this of Gettysburg; no other picture presents such a scope of country or gives such a thrilling representation ot b ittle.
