Messrs E. Brunswick & Co., of Chicago;
Brunswick Bros. of Chicago and st, Louis;
and Stephan, Hart & Co., of Chicago,
The combined frm will be called The
Brunswick Bros, Stephan & Hart Com
pany." The fame of Brunswick's tables
is well known. as we'll as that of the other
firms, and the consolidated firm will be
able to combine all the advantages of each
in their new combination. 1t is also con-
templated to establish in connection with
their business, monthly Billiard Journal,
ably edited and containing all the current
billiard news of the day, to be distributed
gratuitously among their patrons. MIR, II.
A. Baldwin, favorably known among our
business men for many years, is one of the
travelling agents, and was in town early
this week, leaving for Chicago Wednesday
evening. He will be here again, soon, to
talk billiards to those who want Lice ia

Those persons who have believed the
reports that the Independent party in Cal
ifornia is dead, and who have thought it
so immensely funny to call its members
Dolly Vardens, will not find much comfort
in the assurance of the San Francisco Bul
letin that there is scarcely a county in the
state where an organization has not been
made to secure the election to Office of In
dependent candidates. Moreover, in many
counties the old parties are too democrat
lied to organize at all, and the 1ndepen-
dent party is the only one in the field.
This is the case in counties where at the
last election the Independent party was
unknown. After careful review of the
state, the Bulletin gives this gratifying
assurance:
'The outlook daily grows more encourag.
ing. The events OF the past few weeks
have shown that to trust any one of the
various departments Of the state govern
ment to the old parties would be suicidal
The same old leaven still exists, and would
soon leayen the whole lump. With a
Democratic legislature we should have the
same subserviency to corporate monopoly
as was witnessed under Gov. Haight's ad
ministration, while nothing is necessary tc
prove that rings of Federal Office holders
are only synonym for the Republican
party of California,

a Silly Affair.

On Monday night, James j. Murphy got
on board of Peorioa freight or aocommod-
alton train at Coal Valley, Frank Morgart
conductor) to come to Rock Island. He
had waited several hours for the belated
train and claimed that he ought not to pay
because the train was behind time Then
he claimed that he had no money. The
conductor wanted his fare, and he still re-
fused. whereupon the train was stopped to
put him off. Murphy then pulled his
weasel skin" and paid. He was very
abusive of the conductor and blackguard-
ism on both sides soon brought slap in
Murphy's face from Morgart, and little
choking. The whole trouble could have
been avoided of Murphy had acted the
gentleman at the start, and paid his fare
like man. And it could have been avoid
ed, too, if Morgart had made no words,
simply collected his fare and said nothing.
The law does not allow man to be put
off train between stations, and there are
plenty of mean men who, knowing this fact,
get on train for free ride to the next
station. The only way railroads can pro-
| tect themselves against such people is to
permit no one to get on board until they
| show their ticket or pay.
Of course conductor has no right to
''wallop" his passengers into good behavior,
but if one makes nuisance of himself he
should call his help and put him into a
baggage car until he reaches the next
station, and then put him off The courts
will protect a conductor in that course.
Murphy swore out a warrant from Jus
tice Pinkley, against Morgart for assault
and battery and the case was tried Thurs
day evening. Three dollars fine lowest
the law would permit) and costs were
assessed upon Morgart, which he paid.
Conductors often have to put up with
Iimpudence and insult and are sorely tempt
ed to punish mean men on the spot, as they
deserve, sometimes,-but they should
remember that the law protects mean mer
as we'll as gentlemen, and that employees d.
not represent themselves-they represent
their employer and should always act al
they think their employer would act unde
the same circumstances,

Gets Down Easy,

We regret that Judge Drummond avoids
direct decision of the question as to
whether federal court can supercede a
State in the collection of taxes, due the
State; whether a federal court, taking
possession of the property of a corporation
or of an individual can override the par
amount claims of State to its taxes, and
cover up and exempt the property from
taxes, or delay the collection of taxes due.
The substance of his remarks, as we copy
them from the Inter- Ocean shows clearly
to US that he is of opinion that the fedora
court can do no such thing, and he slide:
over the matter in the easiest way posi-
BILE. He says:
No doubt in all cases upon an intimatioI
to the court that taxes were assessed an(
due upon the property in its possession i

would be the duty Of the court to give full
effect to any paramount claims which tn,
State might have for taxes, and as tn
facts have been brought to the notice of tn
court in this case that taxes are due, i
would direct the receiver to pay all such a

In other words, Judge Drummond order
ed Mr., Receiver Ferry to pay the taxes
and discharged the sheriff, and thu

must have ended in his discontinue ha,

Paper---1ts Uses---Paper Carpets, Bar.
rels, Fruit and Cheese Boxes.

The many purposes for which paper can
now be used would quite astonish our
grandfathers, if they were here-it even
astonishes us who are here. Paper
collars, cuffs and bosoms for ladies or gents,
and hundreds of other useful and necessa-
~ articles have from time to time proved
the value of paper, outside of its use for
writing and printing purposes. Many pat
ents have been granted for articles manu-
featured from paper, some of which have
proved of invaluable benefit to the public
and reaped rich harvest for the inventors.
Among the latest discoveries. as to the
uses of paper. is what is known as paper
carpeting and oil cloth, which is said to out
wear the ordinary carpet, and look better.
Among the many advantages claimed for
this new kind of carpeting is that of its
non-conductive powers of heat and cold
It can be washed, the same as ordinary
flooring, and when it becomes dim in color
needs only to be re-varnished to present
an entirely new appearance. The patent
ees are F. N. Davis & Co., Of Beloit Wis
who are doing very large business in thi:
line. The same firm are patentees and
proprietors of paper -four and fruit barrels
which are lighter and more durable thar
the wooden barrel, and can be made per
fectly air tight or perforated, thereby prov
ing invaluable for shipment of fruit o.
vegetables. Egg boxes, cigar boxes, lap
boards, and paper packages Of all dsscrip-
tons are made by this firm from the pat
ent compressed board. Another specially
with Messrs. F. N. Davis & Go. is wha
they call ornamental Alluminous Pape
Board" to be used as a substitute to
plaster. The inventors claim that thi
board will obviate the use of plastering ant
papering of walls. and is manufactured t.
initiate all shades of the many uses Of pa
per, wainscoting &c. With the same de
gree of progress in the discovery of tn
many uses of paper, we may live to Sc
paper cars on our railroads, and house
built entirely from that material Wha
