WE think it will be admitted by all can.
did persons that Buffalo township, IN this
county, has the honor of turning out more
ready made armed and equipped doctors
of finance to the square mile than any
other locality in Iowa. 1t is wonderful
and little bewildcring to sec with what
abandon and confidence in their own
proves the financiers of Buffalo Grove
attack problems that are confessedly the
most difficult in the whole range of states
manship; problems involving principles
and policies Of finance before which the
most learned publicists and,.scholars pause
with distrust of their own powers of dis
elimination. No such weakness embar-
raises the philosophers of Buffalo Grove.
Each has pet theory, evolved out of his
own inner consequences, or built upon
the rawlings of some lunatic of the Sam
Carey model, which, though 1t may differ
in essential features from the pet theory
of his neighbor, he urges with all the con-
fidence and dogmatism Of demonstrated
fact, and which, moreover, he claims to
be the one condition of human happiness,
content and financial beatitudc. 1t makes
no difference what difficulties may be sug-
gested as to the workings of his theory;
he has peculiar and heroic way of sur
mounting all obstacles, and is sure to DEM
onstrate, to his own satisfaction, at least,
that if his advice were followed, white
winged plenty would brood over . rescu-
ed land, the black cloud of business de-
preston would melt before the rising sun
of unexampled prosperity, and the peck
cts of every man, especially every farmer,
would bulge with greenbacks.
All this is predatory to story that was
told us the other day. regarding one of
these newly-riscn lights Of finance. He
was holding forth at one of the meetings
of the club upon the necessity for more
greenbacks, when a doubling listener sug-
gested to him that provided a houseful OF
new grecnbacks were printed, it might be
difficult tor the government, in any legiti-
mate way, to put them in circulation. and
asked him how he would do it. Equal
to the occasion, he Immediately respond
ed that he would at once set men to work
to dredge the Mississippi river fifteen feet
deeper, from its mouth to its source, and
If that were not enough, he would have
the government essay the task of leveling
the Rocky Mountains "Do this" said
the triumphant theorist, "and money
would soon be plenty enough He is
one of the men who overlook the simple
fact that if his farm had produced a good
crop of corn and wheat, he might have
had his pockets full of greenbacks.

EDITOR BULLETIN-A few words Of
explanation may serve to correct some
erroneous impressions occasioned by my
resignation of the office OF Postmaster.
Nobody asked for, or suggested
my resignation, nor was it caused by bus
mess embarrassment.
2.-It affected nobody's political plans,
nor was it effected by or through any
body's political plans.
3.-Judge Toman did not ask for the
place, but on the contrary, hesltated some
time about accepting it upon my suggest
ing to him, much to his surprise, that
would resign if he would take it.
4.-Thc salary is not, as represented, n
large one. After October first, it will
amount, in gross to about $4,000. Out
of this must be paid all expenses, includ
ing clerk hire, rent, fuel, lights, stationa
to say nothing of political and other do
nations, which are inevitably claimed by
n confiding party and public. Sharpen
up your lead pencils gentlemen, and figure
out the fortune. The above amount is
less, by about six hundred dollars per an
mum, than it was for the two years prior
to the first of July. | resigned simply
because of this reduction.
Prom all which it appears that the
tongue Of gossip has been wagging to no
purpose, except to temporarily injurc one
whose only crime has been that of man
ifest lunacy in spending his surplus salary
in ministering to the convenience and
pride of the public, rather than laying it
up for rainy day.
Let me say in conclusion, that a crust,
with independence, is better than even
milk toast with post office; that the pub
lie servant who boards every cent, regard
less of public grumbling, is the only one
certain of considerable treatment after he
goes out of office; and that desire to ex-
press my high appreciation Of the exceed
ing kindness of such of my friends rs
have demonstrated in manner not to be
misunderstood the sincerity of their per-
sonal regard, and who have given me 80
many indubitnble evidences of their "dis-
tlnguished consideration. My Only re-
greet is that may not be able, in the near
or remote future, to give such proof Of
the fulIness of my appreciation, as BELTS
these exceedingly generous manifestations
of personal friendship.

The New OPERA HOUSE is RAPIDLY ap-
preaching completion. The artist, Mr..
Skiff, his finished his contract for the
scenery and decorations of the auditorium
and departed for Chicago. The other
work IS well along, and the Hall will I'M
doubleday be ready at the time set for the
opening. AS the unsightly scaffolding
came down, the magnificent proportions
of the noble hall were seen to full advan-
tage, and drew from ALL expressions of
pleasure and gratified pride, that our city
should be so we'll provided with place
of amusement. No town in Iowa pos
sesses more elegant and spacious public
hall; this is the invariable testimony of
strangers who have seen it, and the fact
naturally begets in the breasts of our peo-
pie, feeling of gratitude to Mr.. King for
his enterprise and outlay, in furnishing
in such complete and elegant style, this
much needed public convenience. This
gratitude they will manifest in substan-
tial way at the opening entertainments in
the new Opera House, Oct Sd and 4th,
the whole proceeds of which, deducting
expenses, are to be given him as benefit
That it will be grand testimonial admits
of no doubt. Not that the performance
itself ION that occasion, aside from its
character as benefit to Mr., King, will
not warrant full houses and great
enthusiasm. 1t has been the object
of those having the matter in charge
to signalize the Inauguration of the
new temple OF song by an enter
tainment of high order In the selection
of Payson's English Opera Company, we
think that object has been obtained
From our own knowledge, we can assure
all who appreciate singing and acting of
superior merit, that they will not. be dis
appointed. The company has IA very
high reputation, and win the unqualified
praise of press and people wherever they
appear. There is already lively interest
manifested by our citizens in the opening
performances at the Opera House, and the
choice of reserved seats is already the
subject of inquiry. The sale of reserved
seats will not begin however, until the
goth inst, at which time they may be
found at Amcs & Sprague's, Post Office
Store, and at Wallace's Drug Store, where
also diagrams of Hall will be found.
We would advise our friends in the
country who intend to be present, to re-
member the date, and send in their orders
early. Reserved seats will be 81; other
parts of the house rs cents.
