The most scaudulous Of anything
that We have ever been called upon TO
losk % 70 the ANAL shinplastow Issued
BY two or three psrties in this town
for general circulation TO take the
place Of silver change, and yet the
most surprising part oft, is, that good
aensible men in the mercantile BUSH
ncss will take them. Do you not know
that they arc driving every dime OF
silver from the country There is no
doubt that change was scarce whcnt they
we're issued, it is more SO now, and un-
less this movement is vetoed at once,
no one can calculate the deleterious
effect il will have upon the retail trade
Of the city. We hear great complaint
Of it already and we suggest that
something be done to abolish it at
once. Will not the merchants make

NThe Gazette is extremely an

ETThe Gazette is extremely anx-
ious to know whether the State Demo
crat reflects the sentiments of the
Democracy of Scott county. We will
give it an intlallible test Of newspaper
orthodoxy. Whenever the leaders OF
a party contemplate establishing an
other paper on account Of tho weak
ness and imbecility Of their old organ,
it may be concluded that that organ
does not reflect the sentiments Of the
party. The Gazette's own history a.
fords an example Of that kind. 1t is
only last year that all the prominent
Republicans in this county, disguised
with tho dwelling Of the Gazette, &C
tually took steps for tho establishment
of a Republican journal in this city Of
sufficient ability to be Of some service
to the party. The Gazettc's fearful
promises Improvement touched their
hearts, however, and they consented
to give it another trial.

Florida comes nearest to the case Of Oregon.
That State had only 1878 white and free

colored portion numbered 932, leaving the
whites l7.2O3. Florida was admitted a. a
State in the year ls45. In 1910 it had but

"The area Of Nebraska is greater than Of
New York and the New England States
Our invigorating climate, productive soil
and natural advantages, win attract multi
tudes Of emigrants driven to our shores by
the political troubles of the Old World
Politically we have equal reason to rejoice.
Our future increase will give to us the con-
troll, to a great extent, Of the country's po
litical destiny; and it is gratifying to be-
lieve that that power will be used with a
patriotic and unfaltering determination to
defend the Federal CONSTITUTION, and pre-
