LEFT HANDED COMPLIMENTS. 49, The
Union, of course, is never stupid, butt
does pay some of its friends very equivocal
compliments. Here is one:
Or s. &. Plummer captured an elegant double
barrel shot gun on the battle field Of Salem, Mis-
souri, which had been used by the enemy in the
nght," and sent 1t home"
Guns, or anything else, captured on
the battle field" are not the property of
those who capture them, but are the pro-
perty of the United States.
Next door neighbor to this doubtful
compliment to DR. Plummer, is another
item putting Mayor Murdoch for causing
the city to pay $lS6.50 more than the
lowest bid for building the hose houses.
Says the Union: Fortunately the City
has Mayor who knows his business ''-i. c.
how to deplete the city treasury to the tune
Of $lS6.50l 1t seems, to the Union, to
be fact worth rejoicing over, that the
people have to pay 1885, so more for build
ing the hose houses than somebody else
proposed to do it for. The Union il
nearly as happy over that fact as it is that
DIR. Gregg coming out of Champion
skinned his nose against one Of the wooder
blocks which represent blank books, fas
tened on the front" The innocent" re
marks attributed to the DR.. about the bibl
are truly affecting.
Pears to us that these three gentle
men would prefer to be unpufed-by tn
Union.
