the next time q paragraph !e quoted
from these topics into the commercial col

the clause. 1.-The very excellen: commercial

''politicay' in ''soMething besides mere po-

With what We said. We now yepes: that

Two highly intelligent and influential
Democrats, specimen bricks, called at the
Office of the United States internal revenue
collector the other day, and paid their fed
eral taxes with tire snarl. This is the way
Kellogg eversaxes. His Internal United
States revenue takes all the money I'VE can
make. Unless he is overthrowu. che d1s,
tillins Susipess will be ruined"
Tire Democratic grand jur. has much 20
say about police who affiliate with gcbbefs,
bu. not word concerning grand jurymen
~Ao .ympathise with gun store burglars.
7he improved charge agains: the police Is a.
csyin: s!ander. fog political purposes and
Ought 20 Se punished. This thing Of
grand jury making itself the tool of party
causus has gone far enough. No such
slins is tolerated anywhere else. II It and
is Democratic judge were as severe upon
criminals as the police are, life and property
y EeI Orleans wsuld be safe.
