IT is said that the grain spectators
are quoting the following passage
from Solomon's Proverbs. to the un U.S.
pecting Changers:
He that withholdeth corn, the people
shall curse him, but blessing shall be up
on the head of him that selleth it,"
That is all well enough when the buyers
are starving, but for speculative purposes,
unless Solomon's reputation for wisdom is
overrated, we don't think he would advise
the people to sell corn rashly, with the
present prospects of the market; unless in
deed, he was figuring to 'bust" corner
on corn.

A PLUM THAT MissED.-"There many
slip betwlxt cup and lip says the old
proverf. When the slip is unavoidable
we can find consolation in imputing it to
adverse fate and in anticipation of "bet-
ter luck next time" When, however, the
slip is the result of our own negligence or
ignorance of facts that we are supposed
to be especially cognizant of, the chagrin
has no mitigation. This is precisely the
fix in which the candidate for Solicitor on
the Peoples" ticket at the late city cleo
ton finds himself Said candidate is
young attorney, ambitious for distinction,
who by jealous and no doubt honorable
endcavor secured his nomination. and
election by just four majority, to the re-
sponsible position named The official
count confirmed his election, and, as was
perhaps natural, he was considerably
elated in anticipation of his assumption
of civic dignity. But, alas, either ignor-
ant that further formality was necessary
to place him in undisputcd possession or,
forgetting it in emotions of gratified am
bition, he started off on u journey--to lay
his honors at the feet of fair one who has
cnmeshed his heart, as some aver-with-
out filing the customary oath of Office,
and the limit of ten days, prescribed in
the code, having elapsed, he discovers the
official plum suspended just beyond his

privilege to declare the office vacant.

TEMPERANCE SERMoNs.--The clergy of
our city, mindful of the influence and re-
sponsibility of their sacred office, have
been preaching some powerful sermons of
late upon the subject of intcmperance,
with practical application to the situation
as it exists in Independence. A large
audience listened with absorbed attention
to a short address by Rev H.. S. Church,
at the NJ. L. Church, on Sunday evening
following the terrible death of Gushing,
by the burning Of the city prison. The
subject was: "Who is to Blame?" the
speaker, placing the dread responsibility
for the sorrowful tragedy primarily upon
the constituencies men who piled the vic
tim with drink, but not forgetting to lay II
proper share of it at the doors of the
public opinion that permits the vcndcr of
liquid death, unmolested, to pursue his he'll
fish trade, and the officers of the law who
fail of their sworn duty regarding it
The subject was treated with words of
burning eloquence and power, which
went direct to the hearts and consciences
of the nearer.
Rev. j. l. Gosker, of the Catholic
Church, also improved the same mournful
occasion to read to his congregation q
most impressive lesson upon the sin and
folly of intemperance, and the misery and
ruin resulting from it.
Last Sabbath morning. Rev. W. B.
Phelps, of the Presbyterian church,
preached in his earnest and pungent style
sermon from the text "Woe unto him
that giveth his neighbor drink, that put.
test thy bottle to him and makest him
drunken" The discourse, which we hear
everywhere warmly praised, went right to
the core of the matter, discussing the evil
of whisky selling and drinking, as we
find it here, and the duty of the church
and community to do something about it.
The whisky tragedy of two weeks since
was effectively employed in the way<st
illustration and enforcement of the lesson
of duty and responsibility.
We hope that the other pastors who
have not made this the subject of special
effort will do so. 1t is time that all the
moral forces of the community wers
united to rescue our city from the evil
reputation it is acquiring from free rum.

The "BLIZZARD. That's the euphoni-
Gus title with which some of our western
contemporaries decorate the furious snow
storms that block up railroads and other
roads, stop the mails and business and dis
joint and disarrange things generally
Well, we Lave had blizzard-ve cannot,
by the widest stretch of probability, col
ceive that this will be news to anybody,
still, people like to be reminded of the
state of the weather--lnd that blizzard, as
its proportions come into view. appears to
be the biggest specimen of the winter
Talking about railroads, property of that
kind this week has not been worth one
per cent of its cost, even throwing out
the watered stock. The Burlington road,
about the first of January, left its track
out and it got lost About 100 Irishmen
have been hunting for it ever since until
Saturday last when it was fortunately
found. On Monday the blizzard came,
and it is again missing. In fact, the hold
ers of its bonds before they can draw their
interest, will have to get affidavits from
the original builders that there is such u
road. The Central had until yesterday
two trains between here and Waterloo
that anybody was welcome to who would
bring them in, and so far as news from
the Beecher trial was concerned, the other
end of the road was not, from Monday to
Thursday, of half as much account as a
piece of corduroy through an Indiana
swamp. The roads east of Dubuque are
said to be effectually sealed up, with six
or eight snow-plows burrowing along them
like mites through an old cheese. And
this is the middle of March! And Swans
tell us that the sun is several thousand
miles nearer than in the good old times
when we used to SOW wheat in February
