Mr.. Boutwell, is one Of the most fa-
NOUS "hanky .panky" men in prominent
places that tue world has ever seen. No
rival iuggler oan toss balls, mystify with
disappearing pocket-handkerchiefs, or
shuttle cards with half the ingenuity he
displays in manipulating tho national
balance shoots. In his hands the no
tionai dnbt becomes perfect phantas-
magoria, assuming any and all forms at
his magic bidding. Ho has lately trent
ed the country to some dissolving views
OF this great burden, calculated to cheer
and encourage, but how long they will
remain impressed upon the vision do
pends entirely upon his manipulation OF
the magic lantern, from which they are
evolved. He says that the debt is now
only s2.276. 1928, 01.44-1OO, (he is par
ticular about the cents,) and that the re-
duction in October alone amounted to
IS, 228. AT. 32-100. This presupposes
the conclusion that only thirty-three
years will be consumed in paying it of
to the uttermost farthing; and we
sincerely hope that such may be the
prospect. Unfortunately, Mr. Bout
Wells practices do not keep pace with
his professions. While lie was max
ing this brilliant exhibit he was
strenuously opdeavoring to conceal
q secret issue of S5,00O.00O in
currency, made in connection with the
gold sale upon the eve OF the Pennsyl-
vania election, to rig the stock market
out OF funds for Radical election cx-
penscs. Now that the danger is pust
and Grants triumph is assured, he owns
up, and saye: ''Thcre is no Official con-
cealment;" but promises not to repeat
such n dangerous aud oppressive expert
ment. This is all the satisfaction to be
had by the many heavy losers. some of
whom were entirely ruined by this shah
by trick. For this promise accompany
ing tho confession wo have, unfortunate
~, no other guaranty than Mr.. Bout
wells word. He holds in his two little
hands tho destinies for good or evil Of
every man doing business in The coun-
try. He not only regulates the price OF
gold, controls exchanges, but by enlarg-
ing or contracting the currency at will.

which he jerks us up occasionally to in,
spect them.

A Washington City Democratic

cause and consequences of Greeley's
defeat. throws the whole blame of the
disaster upon the Liberal Republican
leaders, who became contestants for
the Presidential prize before even a
basis of cooperation was established.
or a plan of organization perfected.
1t is particularly severe upon Senator
Trumbull. whom it accuses ~ofp.evens-
ing the acceptance of the Davis and
Parker ticket by Democrats, in order
to secure his own nomination. 1t
further says that ''retributivc justice
did not allow Mr.. Trumbull and his
followers, who we're mainly respons-
ible for the great wrong, to profit by
their selfish faithlessness tn n great
cause. The marpiots, who, in their
intense s~clffshness, rejected the grand
est Of opportunities, have at last got
their deserts. The cost is great, to
be sure, but.these political pests who
have so often provoked discontinue.
who have traded with all parties, and
always in their own interest, arc at

New County Line Road.

"A petition was rec entity presented
to the County Courts of Andrew and
Buchanan, praying for the location
of a road running from the intersec-
ton of the Maryville road with the
Andrew County line westward along
the line between the two counties
to- the old road from st. Joseph to
Savannah. The opening of this road
will necessitate the building of two
bridges, one over the Platte river and
one over the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
river. The commissioners appointed
by the respective counties to examine
the proposed line of road, report
that the road is greatly needed, and
be easily made, and that the
bridges above mentioned will not
have to be over IS feet long, single
span. We presume that the county
courts will soon order the location of
the road. We are familiar with the
line of the road proposed and think
it is much needed.dHerald.

as true as it ~ old, and its truth is again

be called the best route in the West.
The Line consists of the Kansas
