GOVERNOR CUIIOM has refused to honor
the requisition of the Governor of Pcnnsyl
vania for the bodies of Mcssrs Gatiigan and
Merrick. The Springfield Monitor praises
the Governor on the score of his refusal, and
claims that the right thinking people of the
state will honor him for it. Governor Gull
lom is said to be cautious official who
does nothing under momentary impulse; but
first satisfies himself that he is right, then
goes ahead. The Pennsylvania rcquisition,
like thousands OF others, no doubt,
seems 10 have been obtained
by an officer Of the law whose object was
not so much to ,ub,crve the ends of justice
as to place reward Of few hundred dol
lars in his own pocket. The Monitor in.
Inmates that this was manlcstly the para
mount object, and that the Governor of
Pennsylvania innocently or ignorantly lend
inc his official warrant to the proceeding,
had failed even to state for what purpose
the alleged culprts were wanted. They
might have committed murder, robbery
or burglary; bat the Governor Of Illinois
being furnished no proof of their guilt,
could inter or presume nothing, and was
compelled, therefore, to spoil the eager con.
stables prospects for pocketing the reward,
by refusing to issue his warrant under the
reQuisition Governor Palmer was one of
the attorneys for the accused, and raised
new questions under the interstate extra
dition laws that will scarcely fail to excite
attention, What these questions are the
Monitor fails to state; but if their consider
alton will put an end to the "looseness'
that characterizes the issuance Of rcquis-
itions, the aims Of justice will not be foiled
thereby; but the doors will be more eifec-
tually closed against the too frequent
schemes of bad men, who with eyes
goating on fiat rewards hold the liberty
and fair name OF the citizen as of no mo-
ment whatever

SOME of the total abstinence people in
Connecticut are letting their zeal run away
with them In Norwich, the other day,
two children swallowed poison that had
been carelessly left within their reach.
Brady was at once procured from one OF
the drug stores, and their lives were saved.
But in letting the parents have the brandy
the druggist committed technical viola
ton of the law, and, incredible as il seems,
the zealots actually threaten to prosecute
him. OF a piece with this folly is the en-
ployment Of INSCRIPTIONS detectives to
work up cases against the liquor sellers. In
recent trial at New Haven the fact was
brought out that one OF these rascals OBJ
tanned the liquor by pretending that he
wanted it for sick wife, and two Of them
induced farmer TO buy the liquor by
promising to help him sell the butter he
had brought into town. So Disguised was
the presiding Judge, himself a staunch tenn
pcrancc man, that he let the liquor sellers
go, and denounced the tricks by which
they had been cntrapped as ''mean and
contcmptible.'

Mill-Crcck station shipped ESQ ca loads
of lumber, 200 ear loads of railrol ties,
80 car loads Of wheat, so Of flour MI 80
car loads Of slaves.
Villa Ridge, Pulaski county, slipped
9,436 crates Of Strawberries, l4,70G BIKES OF
peaches, 3,303 boxes Of pears, 4,l4sboxes
and barrels Of apples, 1890 bask,s Of
grapes 4,SSS boxes wax beans, 022boxes
pears, besides quite respectable shimcnt
of onions, Irish and sweet potatoc, to-
m0tocs, etc. From these figures it ccms
that, as a fruit and berry shipping pint,
Villa Ridge is but little behind thcmost
important stations on the Illinois CNtral.
The business indicated by dle igurcs
given, is exclusive of shipments of grain;
vet to the resident of twenty-five years
standing they show Il progress in aglcnl'
tural pursuits that is wonderful, ance the
result itself is the work Of that interval.
Twenty-Five years ago there were not two
acres of Strawberries in Southern Illinois.
The towns named were not in existence.
Orchards were planted with ycw only TO
home supplies; nothing was known OF the
grating process, and MS everything else
was subordinatcd to the grow,llo ic0rn, the
finer kinds of fruit were not grown, In
moral, social and educational point OF view,
the condition of the country was but little
better AS a rule the people were poor and
satisfied with their primitive surroundings
the most thrifty and intelligent among them
failing to forcsce the charge the future
would work in the material and intellectual
pcct of the country. But the change has
been wrought. The rich soil of our vallies
and highlands yielded abundantly to the
touch Of intcligently applied industry; the
forests gave room for farms school houses
and churches multiplied, and Egypt came
rapidly up out of her bondage d hard work
undirected by brains--out Of her era of log
cabins and corn fields, to frame barns and
fruit farms. The change is great one ; but
great as it is, nothing is hazardcd in the
prediction that the change to be produced
during the quarter of a century coming, will
be equally great and equally wonderful.
