The CRY PREss.-A bill was recently in
troduced into the Senate. and passed that
body, entitled "A Bill to Encourage the Use
OF Private Capital" The Banner thinks the
bill is for the benefit of shavers and brokers.
Whether the Banner has reference to the
shavers who transact the business of their call
ing beneath the sign and seal Of a striped
pole or the little shavers whose field of oper-
alton Is the public streets, where they have
private contract for doing the general mis-
chirf and particular swearing of the town,
we shall not undertake to say; hut il the bill
il intended to benefit either or both of these
classes-to make the one Use sharper razors
and cleaner lowell, and the other purer Z e
Iish and cleaner faces-we hope the BInner
will choke itself off. We are not prepared TO
say how much good would be accomplished
by encouraging by legislative enactment the
use of a few shillings of private capital in
that direction; but no further preparation is
needed to say that there are lcgislators-in
some of the neighboring states who will ac-
compIish much more good in tinkering
with the interests of BARRIERS and brats,
about which they perhaps know something.
than in triggering with more weighty affairs
about which they know nothing.
The local Banner has been up to the Capitol
taking notes OF its progress and improve
ments. Among other things which fell under
its observation were some newly put-up lamp
posts, very handsomely ornamentrd by
three colossal statutes representing Morning.

seen all the landscapes in America through

whether the Bmner is correct in this or not;
bit we take it for granted that it is.

BILE editor the Ne.Os was talking about, in
stead of an uepressible one. That alters the
case materially. After having in vain over
hauled all the dictionaries in iowa for the
word. and fruitIessly telegraphed the adj
ministrators OF the late Noah WEBSTER for

cluded that il was some naughty term which
the photographers thought too small to be
