The New York Sun makes this strong
point: "The pay and perquisites of
President Grants term amounts In
round figures to $4G2 600; those Of Pres
ident Lincoln during four years amount
ed TO $I64 900. Thus four years OF
Grant cost the country $26S, 200 more

These figures are all the more remarkable,
for the reason that the sales of the principal
Companies in 1878 are LESS THAN
THEIR SALES IN 1879; whereas, as

The account of sales is from sworn returns

body. After which Henry Clay, of
Kentucky, moved a Conference Com
mittec of the two House on the ad
mission of Missouri, and on the Goth
of February, Mr.. Clay, from the Con.
ference Committee, reported a com-
promise resolution, providing tor the
admission, OIL a "certain condition."
which passed, after much discussion,
March 2, 1921. The provisions of that
resolution were accepted by the Leg
islature of the State, June ~, 1921,
protesting, however, at the time,
against the constitutional right of
Congress to annex the condition to
the admission. On the 10th of
August following, the President, by
proclamation, announced Missouri's
acceptance of the terms, and her admis-
sion as q State in the Union. This
conflict was a dragon tooth sown-an
entering wedge of war, as subsequent
events demonstrated.
The act Of Congress, March 6, 1920,
defined the boundary of the new
State, the western line of which is
thus defined: commencing al a point
OH parallel of latitude thirty-six de-
grees and thirty minutes, where said
parallel is intersected by a meridian
line passing through the middle of
the mouth of the Kansas river, where
the same empties into the Missouri
river, thence north along said me-
ridian line to the intersection of the
parallel of latitude which passes
through the rapids of the river Des
Moines, making the said line to cor
respond with the Indian boundary
line" This boundary line failed to
take in an extensive district of coun-
try between it and the Missouri river,
and the mouth of the Kansas river,
and the parallel line which passes
through the Des Moines rapids, the
topography of which could not have
been known when Missouri vas adj
mitteG. Through the influence of
Colonel Thomas II. Benton, United
States Senator, from Missouri, this
western boundary line was, by act Of
Congress, approved June 6, 1886, ex-
tended west to the Missouri river,
and north and south between the
point where the Kansas river empties
into the Missouri, and the parallel
line of the State north, the act to take
effect when the Indian title should be
extinguished, and when the State OF
Missouri should assent to its pro-
visions. Missouri assented, by all act
of the General Assembly approved
December 16, 1886. The titles of the
Foxes, Iowas and Sacs Indians, were
extinguished by treaty, signed at
Fort Leavenworth, September IT.
1886, and ratified the 18th OF Febru-
ary, 1887. This district of country
then was subject to settlement by the
whites.

Cherry Grove Items.

We are willing to r~eiterate the state
ment in regard to the wheat crop in this
vicinity, believing it to be the best that
was ever raised here. To your corre-
spondent who complained of the poor
wheat prospect, we would say, fear not,
Is Cherry Grove ear supply all the de-
fects in wheat that may occur in this
county.
7. w. Mackie, who has been attend
ing the Normal School at Kirksville
during the Summer, returned home n
few days since, looking as hale and
hearty as a ~two-year-old. Tommy has
improved his Uranium greatly during
his stay at kirksville.
We see that ''Confugle" complains of
a poor wheat crop, but this is nothing
unusual, as he was never known to
raise wheat, corn, Or anything else, with
the exception of a large crop of gourds,
which were planted by accident and
grew without the work OF c~ultivating
them.
The contract to build the school-house
here has been awarded to Mr.. Frank
Knickerbacker, of Fillmore, he being
the lowest bidder. Work will begin
Immediately after harvest.
The items of Confugle are taken here
to be the ablest productions since the
days OF Calhoun and Webster.

New Grange Song.

Il is an ancient farmer,
Aud he is one Of three;
He said unto the middle man,
1--WE have no need OF thee.n
This man here makes his cloth,
And sells it into me;
He buys my wheat and thus we save
The slice that went to thee"
"Your eyes too dim are growing;
Get spectacles," said he;
THAT you may see some higher grade
OF wheat than number three!
The cunning middle man
Laughed out, "Ha-ha! te-he!
Upon your back III stand and fill
My pockets 7om the tree"
Then turned that ancient farmer
The middle mar about,
And with some words of kind advice,
He gently kicked him out.

The argument is gravely advanced that
to put stop to the sale of whisky on
Sunday would be an interference with
religious rights! Of course, this is purely
an abstraction. as no religious denomina-
ton in the whole country, that we are
aware of, is in favor Of grog-selling at all.
We believe there is a general agreement
among all the denominations Protestant,
Catholic and Hebrew-:hat the sale Of
intoxicating drinks. as q beverage. is a
great evil any day in the week. and that
its suspension. even for one day out Of
the seven. would be regarded by them as
a blessing. SO far as it goes. And, as our
laws have always recognized Sunday as
the Sabbath FOX all other matters, it can
not be considered very violent outrage
to put whisky dealing on the same scale
as banks. insurance companies. and other
places where contracts are made and exc
cuted for six days in the week, but are
not lega! il made on Sunday. nor can
compliance with them be demanded on
that day. II Sunday may legally be
made dies non for respectable business.
we can no: see any grea. violence to reli-
gious feeling by including drunkard max
ing in the list Of prohibited vacations on
that day. We think the Church and State
question can stand that. and if any per-
son is to be shocked in his religious SEN
timents. by being deprived Of getting
drunk on Sunday. let him lay in supply
on Saturday night. and lock himself in
his own house. where he can become as
drunk as lord. But we objec. to his
practicing his peculiar religion OF the
stree. corners.
