LOOKING FOR AN I1EM-In police circles
no stir is made; nobody has robbed some.
body; banks are secure from fOrgers. and
private citizens laugh at burglars. Well
air our Latin on that, and say, "vacuus
-idtor cidat coram latrones," which means,
freely translated, that the fellow without a
cent singers in the face of the garroter;;
Tue American plan is for the burgla1ized
individual to watch and wait; should any
thing of value fall into the hands of the
burglar, it remains for the mercurial
American to arise and take it from said
burglar.
This leads to dissertation on burglars.
Night thieves, as q class, are cowardly;
they seek darkness and court the protection
of obscuriry. When met with opposition
they invariably flee. The veriest knave is
usually the most miserable coward. He
seeks an unprotected household and takes
his 'swag," all things permitting. The
slightest determination appals such thief
and paralyzes his nerve. The figure OF a
dauntless woman has been known to dis.
may the most desperate night thief.
Moral: Therefore, fight for your property
aud xiii all robbers.

THE WEATHER, CROPS AND BUSINESS
The Thermometer and barometer indicate indicate
;nf-iences govern and determine the crops,
and the crops regulate business. We have
had a heated term unprecedented in the
history of the country; theperiod of caloric
has been succeeded by rain and clouds and
a fall of the barometer. 1t has not been
made clear that the weather has had any
undue effect upon the crops. During the
heated term. of course, business was stag
nant; still the crops grew and tiOurished.
Now trade has revived, and with the f1utter-
ing breezes we may expect an increase OF
circulation in the matter of legal tender
notes.
Merchants are confident that the present
season will float the commercial fOtilla in
N matters intervene not to disturb the equi-
poise of commerce. Capital is sensitive,
and does not like to hear of White Leagues,
the pistol and the shotgun. The banker
locks his strolg box when the freebooter is
siguaI6Q.

CONCERNING CITY CARs.-lt is admitted
that the street cars OF this city are great
convenience. Then convey people to their
homes when the days labor is done: they
form the means of arriving at business cen.
tres In word or two, city cars are good
institutions.
Some people, however, abuse the privi-
lege of the city cars. There are idiots,
mostly adult males, who stand in the front
door way and choke off the breeze; other
masculine simples stand on the door step.
A third class of super-retined brutes cross
their legs and thus wipe their shoes on
passers by. The car companies have
nothing to do with these facts, but if
drivers would only brain offenders in above
particulars, nothing in the public press
would initiate against their immediate &C
.qu,ttal.
To this proposition is modestly suhjoined
tie request that the lattice windows of the
Magazine street line be put in repair
speedily and at once.
