SEE 'EM CoME.-The Post this week
piles up huge fertilization Of wordy
notwithstanding of wild asser-
ton, elimination and recriminatioH-
behind which to hide its contemplate
meanness in regard to the burglar es-
cape business. We promised TO have
done with the matter last week and
certainly have no cause to reconsider
such decision SO long as our state
ments Of fact, one and all, stand un-
impeached and unimpeachable.
If it has any hope Of sustaining itself
before fair minded people, let it prove
something specific. and stop scatter
ing bird shot out Of its bunder-
buss without, rs it AYERS, aim
ing at any one In particular.
Brag. blow, buster and personal dia-
tribes, are very cheap land very poor
arguments with which to come before
the public. But much leniency Of
Judgment should be exercised toward
the Post man. He feels bad aud can
not be expected to speak pleasantly.
1t is not seldom that for hidden pur-
poses he has said and insinuated mean
and unwarrantable things; but it is
very seldom, we sincerely hope, that
any one suffers such palpable detec-
ton and humiliation as he has done
which he makes full and complete
this week by the publication of his
correspondence with the Sheriff Out
Of the fullness Of the heart the Post
snarleth.

DON'T make fool of yourself by
getting mad when bill is presented
to YOU There is nothing wrong in it.
Hundreds and thousands Of men as
good as yourself have had bills pre-
sented to them and did not get mad
thereat. Even If there is mistake
in the bill, 1t Is better to ask calmly
for an explanation than to get into .
towering rage about it aud threaten
the withdrawal of your patronage.
The best of men make mistakes some
times, and there are very few In BUSH
ness who will not cheerfully correct q
mistake and thank you for pointing it
out. Ifyou can't pay when the bill is
presented. aud the fault is yours, then
you ought to feel angry at yourself
but there Is no more sense in getting
mad" on the presentation of a bill
than to fly into passion when your
neighbor extends to you the compile
ments Of the season. 1t exposes a
weakness which Is not commendable
to any one.
N. B.-We saw the above in an ex-
change and copied it, because we in
tend to present few bills soon.

THE BANDITTI OF THE CEDAR
The constantly increasing develop
ments regarding the depredstions to
which we alluded some weeks since
a. having been made for two years
through quite large section Of coun-
try west of here and near the Cedar
river, confirms the impression that an
organized system Of preying upon the
public has existed there. The thieves,
who for the want of another we desig-
nate by the above rather high sound
ing name, have certainly from time to
time done an immense amount Of pet
ty stealing with astonishing regulari-
ty and uniform success-if hiding well
and long may be so called.
AS we before stated, the thefts en-
braced almost everything which could
be used or found about farm aud
rumor hints at darker crimes, though
concerning any such there is nothing
now known which would warrant
even a repetition Of the story. As an
example of the thoroughness of the
stealing business. however, the case of
Mr.. Ed. Rates blacksmith shop is re
lated. Mr.. II. had a blacksmith shop,
well fitted out with all the necessary
tools, &C., for ordinary business. We
say he had" such shop, because the
past tense is eminently proper under
the circumstances. Some two years
ago one thing after another began to
come up missing. Hammers, files,
punches and saws disappeared one at.
ter another until, as sure a. you live,
all Mr.. Rate had left Of that shop was
the bellows and the anvil every 9TH
er identical article seemed to have
gone where the woodbine twineth, at
least, the owner could find no trace
of them, and never did until last Mon
day, when Sheriff Shea,er, in the
course ola thorough overhauling Of
Longs premises, tore down the cellar
wall and 10! nicely hidden away be-
hind the masonry was the long lost
blacksmith shop.
What the real status of the matter
now is, and how great the probabili-
ties that the depredators may be
brought to justice. we would not be
permitted to say II we knew and we
are free to confess we don't know.
| We fear, however, that while delaying
| to make proof sure and SUFFICIENT the
birds have flown. Time will tell.

A HINT TO HOUSEWIVES. How to
keep kitchen ware clean and bright
Every housewife of neat and tidy hab-
Its takes especial delight in keeping
all the tin, copper and iron ware Of
her kitchen as clean and bright as
painstaking labor can make them. A
pride in this direction is commendable,
and always meets the smiling approval
of the "tyrant man" who pays the
household bills. Remember that
Sapolio is the only thing on earth that
will make an old furnished tin pan or
rusty kettle shine as bright as new.
And by the use of Sapolio it is the
quickest and easiest thing in the world
to keep every utensil in y high state
OF polish.

Charles Clinton, Auditor of the State
of Louisiana, was born in Massacbu-
setts in 1890. At the age OF sixteen
he removed to St. Louis, Mo-, and
there resided until 1865, when he came
to New Orleans and engaged actively
in business as commission merchant.
His manners and mercantile method
soon inspired confidence, and he had
mastered a proud pos;ition in the
commercial community, when in
March, 1869, numerous responsible
recommendations were made to Presi-
dent Grant that to him might be con-
fided the bureau of the Assistant
Treasurership Of the United States in
New Orleans. He was at once ap-
pointed and held this critical post
until he entered the Auditors chair
last winter. The fidelity with which
he discharges his new duties is album
dainty attested in the confidence e1-
hibited in our local and in foreign
money marts. He has already proved
