Because, 10 the exercise Of its ancient, con.
stitutional, guaranteed rights, it insisted upon
serutinizing the conduct Of public servants.
Opposition to the Administration, has for
four years past, been the test of dIsloyalty.

Southern States to the Union, as proposed by

battle Of Solferino there were more than 3OO,.
600 soldiers In tho deld, and the losses must
have amounted 10 ct least from 10000 to 81,

three days, the $50 900 allies had against them
26O.OOO French; the latter lost 10000 prisoners
and g, 900 killed and wounded, and the former
$4,000 killed and wounded. After teipsic.
the most sanguinary battle was that Of Moscow,
on the 7th September. 1919. The Russians
had 10000 men and 60O pieces Of cannon.

DEADHEADs.-The Northwestern Packet
Co., and other steamboat companies that
navigate the waters Of the Upper Mississip.
pi, have inauguratcd new and very sensi.
BILE arrangement in regard to gentlemen
who receive free passes for steamboat trav-
cling over their respective lines. The prac,
tice Of boardiny, as well as carrying them
free Of change, will be henceforth abolished.
Hereafter, desdheads on steamers will be
treated just AS they are on railroads. When
the recipient Of free pass rides over
railroad, he pays for his own meals at the
dining stations and hotels. So when o
"ticket.of leave man takes q trip on
Mississippi steamboat, hereafter, he can do
the entire journey from Dubuque to ST.
Paul without paying cent. except for his
meals. This is perfectly right and Just.
1t is asking too much of steamboat com.
Pany to furnish to free pass gentlemen
their transportation free Of cost, and in
addition carte blanche to table loaded
with all the delicacies as we'll as substan
tials Of the season. This new regulation
will 60 into effect the coming summer.
