ABOUT INCOME RETuRNs.-The commits.

ABOUT INCOME RETURss.-The commits
sioner of Internal Revenue is creating
considerable excitement relative to the
return made for incomes the past year
The recent expose made by the New
York papers as to income returns in that
city, and the general agitation of this sub
ject all through the country, has led to
the belief that many persons have not
made full and correct returns of their
respective incomes.
Our own opinion is that the governs
ment has been grossly swindled all
through the country, and we are glad to
know that thorough overbauling of the
returns throughout the country is to be
made. We understand that assessors
generally have received peremptory or
ders to institute rigid inquiry in their
districts, and dix out those who have
thus far defrauded the Treasury Of its
dues. Those who are liable, bad better
at once set their houses in order and
come down with the stamps.

CHICAGO PoLITIcs. - There are two
tickets put in nomination for the various
Offices of Cook Co. and the city of Chicago,
and the campaign is lively though non :
political. A straight Republican ticket
nominated by those who have generally
managed such affairs is repudiated by a
large number of Republicans, who have
coalesced with the Democrats and nom
mated peoples ticket, made up about
equally from the two parties This ticket
is supported by nearly all the papers of
the city, of both parties, including the
Tribune, Times, Republican and Jour>
nal, and appears to have the inside track.
For long time there have been charges
of corruption against the managing Re-
publican politicians, and this split is on
that ground.

THE SOUTH.

Although the elements of dlscord are
still rife in the South, great material pro
gress has been made during the past
year There are still vestiges of the ku
Klux, but the great mass of the people,
aided by Northern enterprise and CAPT,
tai, have gone to work with the resolu,
ton Of redeeming their lands from the
desolation that has clung around them
since the war. There are now at least
100000 white men nobly at work cult-
waiting cotton with their own hands
The prospect is very encouraging, The
cotton crop is estimated at 100000
bales and valued at $500, 600 00O--equal
to the best crop ever raised before the
war. Besides this, corn will yield to
Southern industry 2Sj,000, 600 bushels,
worth S2OO,OO0,O00; and sugar, tobacco,
rice and wheat are far more abundant
than they have been for years 1t is
believed that the entire Southern crop
will bring over 100000, 00o--an amount
more than sufficient to place the South
frmy upon its feet once more
This is the kind of reconstruction in
the South that will be permanent Once
get the Southern people to work, get
them to lay aside politics and study az,
riculturc, get them to lay down their re-
yolyers and knives, and take up their
hoes and spades, aud they will become
MS industrious and lawabiding poeople
Ms any in the world Idle hands always
have u disposition for mischief Ge,
them employed and the brain will cease
to plot and contrive wickedness. just
ms soon MS the Southern people are sat,
ished that their prosperity does not de.
pend upon wre.pulhng at Washington'
just SO soon will the civil law become
paramount authority in their country 49,
They are approaching this knowledge
rapidly. From present appearances it
would seem as if another year would
bring them that peace which all their
loyal men and women have so long
prayed for

THE THERMo WATER-CURE There is no
institution offering its services to the public
that we have watched witt greater interest
and mo ore satisfaction than the Cure at the
corner of Fourth and Sycamore streets. That
this institution is founded upon system OF
measures more efficient, safe snd agreeable
than any other in the Northwest, there can
be no question. Hundreds of our best citi-
zens and scores of strangers testify in its be
halt, and many are the living monuments OF
its curative powers.
In one short year and Q half DR.. Hanson
has gained wide celebrity for his Cure, and
we are glad to know hat he il rsaping q part
of the reward he deserves for his enterprise

are pleased to see the above notice of the

Careless use Of Firearms.

hoy Of John Smith of this place shot
himself through the hand and arm on last
Saturday afternoon with powder and shot.
He was getting over the fence sof'the Gene.
terry and probably took thesmuzzle of the gun
in his right hand to raise 1t, by doing which
the trigger caught upon some thing which
fred off the gun. Or he may have had the
gun in his left hand ndthe1right at little
distance from the muzzIe of the gun. The
charge Of powder and shot and perhaps wad-
ding passed into the palm of the hand and
passed upwards in front of. the wrist and
came out in front of the lower part of the
arm, tearing and burning its way through. A
few of the shot passed partly around the arm
and came cut to one side and back Of the
arm-others remained under the skin, and
perhaps others too deep to be discovered.
Altogether 1t Is bad gun shot wound.
When will boys and even men learn to be
careful in.the use of fire arms The reck.
less careIessness ii the use Of firearms is as
t)nishing aud ~ reprehensible. They are
used with as much carelessness and reckless
ness as ifthey were harmless toys. Some
