not be 1T all surprised that all The terrific and

the awful things they will do 10 put down the tariff
should end in the kicking Of few sheep and lambs.
They will be very careful indeed not TO try their
boasted prowess upon any thing more dangerous.

BLAsPHEME.--Ws can scarcely take up paper
which does not contain, IN some form other, one
more blasphemous expressions. These expires.
sons are generally introduced into littie tales
anecdotes. for the purpose Of imparting pquancy
and making them more spicy" in their flavor
The authors of these tales anecdotes seem 90
imagine that unless their productions arc well sea
soned with oaths and curses, they fail to win the
applause of the public. Certainly, so long the
public are willing 10 receive basphemy for wit, we
are not surprised that writings Of this character
should plcntifully abound.
IL should be the duty Of the public 10 frown upon
this infamous system, which, regret 10 observe,
has grown 10 an enormous extent Whether in
conversation public newspapers the use Of BIAS
phemous expressions should be discountenanced by
every christian man and respectable citizen. How
ever innocently those expressions may appear To be
used they should, on all occasions, be condemned.
They have tendency, insensibly, 10 undermine all
sentiments Of respect for religion and virtue The
press above ALL should never allow itself 10 be made
the vehicle Of blasphemy under any shape or form.
II should never, on any pretence, admit into its
columns a word, an expression which could offend
rcig iOn, bring blush into the check Of modesty.
These observations, We trust, will not be deemed
obtrusiye. They are true, and they are called for
by practice which prevails extensively with some
country editors, Of inserting stories or anecdotes
filled with blssphemous or obscene expressions.
Sclinerest alone, If no higher motive exists, should
prevent this abominable practice. Papers Of this
kind are u course excluded from every respectable
family circle itsbtrg Mercury.

without much consideration said that the verandah

THE MARKETS.


Hoes.-We are compelled by press Of business
to make statements on the pork market as short
and comprehensive as possible. This we do by
stating that the prices range here for average weight
200 lbs hogs S2a2,l0.
We have heard of offers for good lots at 81 65 gross,
the sellers demanding Sl.75. At Madison Mon
day. 300 good hogs sold at $780, and an average lot,
at 255. Also the product of 10, of 500 hogs
shoulders, q cents; sides, 81 cents hams, At cents,
from salt; head and leaf lard 81 cents. in barrels
We informed that the Madison market is Plen-
tifuIly supplied although the packers are exeriIng
themselves to keep ahead. and that there many
hogs there as will require fifteen days to slaughter.
Also that corn commands from 80 to 40 cents per
busel that city. If these be statements, dro
vers must calculate for themselves their chances
Of profit.
We notice the prices at Cincinnati with al active
market, on Monday, of lots dividing 200 lbs, at
262 2.75; and the average price for 30 lbs and up
wards, 267ca 275. For extra heavy. over S2.75 is
paid. Prices improving.
In Louisville. The prices range about the same as
ut Cincinnati. with decided upward tendency, ac-
cording to the Louisville Courier, winch has late adj
vices from New Orleans, and which it states shows
an Improvement in the prices uf Pork.
We will here state. that Mr.. Blythe (whuse estab-
lshment we shall notice again) informs that he is

ated we were in possession of large amount OF

That property being disposed Of there remains no ne

payment of interest) just as well be attended
to by the Treasurer, and at saving of from three TO
five thousand dollars annually. This amount. GER
tainly is worth saving TO the people, and we hope
their representatives will do it.-Stats Journal.

Odd be of the opinior expressed above, in
his letter To the Governor, which We published some
time ago. Perhaps he forgot there democratic
majority in the General Assembly, and that probably
the new Agent would be of the stripe! If all

Gov. DUMMIES MEssAGE.-The State Journal
speaking of this message, admits that it is ga fail
recital of the present condition of State affairs,
but. respecting his illusions to the policy of the gen
eral government, il remarks -
''Had the Governor seen proper TO conine his re-
marks to measures of State policy, his message
would havve contained nothing very objectionable
but, il is marred by the endorsement of the British
tariff of 1896"
The Journal then copies this Questionable matter
amounting in all t0entythree ines and following
up its slang of "Briish Tariff of 1885," talks abou
the superiority of ''home Market" and the neces
sity of protection to manufactures to enlarge it.
We have no patience to listen 10 such stuff at th
late day, and cannot reconcile ourselves the tasl
of showing the utter absurdity Of the Journals at
tempt tu bolster up this obsolete. exploded, dead
buried humbug, in view of the true interest of tn,
people Of this State and of enlightened public opin
ion upon the subject of the true principles of poiti
cal economy. We only allude to it for the purpos
of noting the Journals position. and to show that
still favors the dishonest policy of giving ad an,
comfort" to Capital at the expense of Labor, and th
rewards which it is justly entitled 1t is an adj
tional proof that ''the Bourbons learn nothing AM
forget nothing"
lhough we are no advocates Tor long 'Iuoernato
rial dispositions about national affairs conceive
that Governor would be derect in duty not to al
lude to such topic. We conceive that the peopl
have degree of interest in national policy ant
while this is the case. it is highly proper for the Gov
ernor to ailude To it in official communication
whenever he may believe that the prosperity of th
State demands il. Beyond these limits Gov. Dunnn,
