POTTER COMMITTEE.

Late dispatches from Washington
state that the Potter Committee are
nearly ready to report. Of the majority
report, which has been read before the
committee, the N. Y. Tribune saws:
The report, which is an unusually long
document, is one of the most intensely
and outrageously partisan papers that
ever emanated from a partisan commit
tee. 1t seems to have been prepared for
the purpose of terminating the dead and
buried cry of fraud" and of making it
the motto by which the Democracy may
win the election of 1880. As such a
document, and prepared for campaign
use, it has been constructed with won
derful skill. Unless its authors are dis
appointed, it will at once take its place
as the first and one of the strongest cam
paign papers of the next Presidential
contest.
OF course the Republican members of
the committee had nothing to submit, as
it was impossible for them to prepare
their views until the Democrats had dis
closed the position they intended to
take The Republicans now have in
their possession Mr.. Potter's paper, and
will have their views ready by Monday.
The minority report will be no less
able and strong document, and will GER
tainly contain the antidote for the polir-
ical poison which the Democrats have
instilled into their paper.
No provision will probably be made
for the discussion of these reports in the
House.

The millers of Minnesota have been
annoyed a good deal of late by wire in
the wheat, caused by the use of wire
binding harvesting machinery. At one
time the matter had become so trouble
some that they thought seriously of ad.
vising the disuse of such machinery.
But way has b.en found out of the
difficulty by the invention of simple
ndexceedingly ingenious device, consist.
ing of two gangs of horse shoe magnets
placed in a spout through which the
wheat passes. Numerous pieces from
the size of a pin head to an inch in
length, were counted and mixed with q
quantity of wheat, and being passed
through the spout the exact number
would be found upon the magnets. The
millers were highly pleased with the
workings of the simple device, and it
will undoubtedly be introduced into all
the mills. A point of interest in this
matter is the fact that this device is not
patent.

We are told by very responsible an.
thority that some of our banks refuse ia
take the American standard silver dollar
coined previous to the passage of the
silver bill for more than ninety cents.
This was very hard for us to believe, but
the gentleman who gave US the informa.
ton is perfectly reliable The way we
came to hear Of it was that we offered
one coined in 1851 in payment of a bill,
and it was declined because of the fact
stated. This is simply dishonest and
illegal both, and banks that refuse it
cannot collect the debt for which that
sort of money was rendered, except At
their own cost. Let the people try this
plan on them for awhile.-Ransas City

What a dignified spectacle the Demo.
cratic party presents in the Senate ofthe
United States! Its three loudest, if not
most gifted leaders, stretching their
lungs in grand competitive display Of
simulated indignation against law
whose sole intent is to preserve the pur-
ity of the ballot. boxl Reducing their
uproar to hard facts, they are determined
to do all in their power to make ballot
boxistuffing easy and unpunishable, and
are willing to stop the wheels of the
Government, if necessary, to succeed.
Bayard alone tries to hold them back.

At recent educational meeting Presi
dent Andrew ID. White, of Cornell Uni
versity read an address on obstruction
in Political and Social Science" The
speakers views were that the difficultie.
under which the country was labOring
could be best and soonest removed BY
giving to the young men of the country
a thorough political education. The
chief reason for the continuance of oul
political "muddle." and for the threaten.
ing aspect of the future was the ignor.
ance of the masses as we'll as their leaders
in matters of political science. Our Leg
islatures, State and national; our judicial
and executive Offices, should all be filled
by men trained by special education for
their duties. At present we see the work
of our Legislatures full OF grievous mis-.
takes, which find their counterpsrts in
the history of civilization, and which any
student of history would avoid. The
speaker thought that the mass of the
people should be educated to such a
point that their judgment on matters of
public interest would be in the main cor
rect; and this should be supplemented
by special training of their natural lead
er., such as is not now regularly offered
at any of our instructions of higher edu-
cation. Such a course of instruction
should include: first, history; second,
an exhaustive course in political econ
omy; third, social science; fourth, gen.
eral Jurisprudence; fifth, international
law. These ideas were already largely
adopted in the educational systems of
Germany and France, and the results
were beginning to tell in the administra-
ton of public affairs in those countries.
He closed with some practical suggestions
on carrying out the plan proposed, and
pointed out the vast field for patriotic
work, for those who possessed the abili.
ties and the wealth, in the carrying out
of these plans.

The Democratic party continues its
work of repeating the taxes which bear

and retaining taxes which bear upon the
whole country. The tax on tobacco il
reduced because the Solid South de-
mands it. but that on matches, the re-
peal of which Mr.. Conger demanded in
the name "forty millions of people" is
retained. The new Democratic policy
of retrenchnent consists in retrenching
in the revenues which the party doesn't
want to pay.

Mr.. Bartolet contemplates erecting q
slaughter yard in the southern portion
of town. There being some oppo-
sition and fault found We inter.
viewed Mr.. B. who informed us that the
report was true. He takes the position
that the idea Of slaughter yard being a
nuisance, necessarily, is incorrect, and
claimed that he should keep it in good
order and when it became . nuisance
was time for opposition to commence. If
Mr.. Bartolet keeps everything clean and
free from noxious smells we do not see
how it can be declared nuisance. On
general principles it is easier to prevent
an evil than to regulate one afterward-
but there being no ordinance to the con.
trary he undoubtedly has a right to do
~ he may see fit. If it should become a
nuisance prompt action would be taken.
A complaint was fled before Justice
Boyd last Tuesday, charging Marion
Christy and Robt. Penland with assault
and battery upon Sanford E. Warner.
The trial of each was held separately.
The facts a. near as we can learn are ::
Mr.. John A. Christy rented his farm to
Warner, but on account Of certain talk
the sons of Mr.. Christy concluded that
they would not permit Warner to move
on the place. Upon the arrival of War
ner they met him at the gate and after
some words and blows had passed War
ner drew a pistol and fred at Marion
Christy, the ball passing through his
blouse. Penland was also shot at at
some time during the melee. The case
sttracted some attention and crowded
house was the result. John A. Christy
fled the complaint against the boys,

a verdict of guilty in the case of Marion

circulation of statistical articles and
pamphlets setting forth of the advantages
of this section before the eyes of eastern
people. Descriptive circulars should be
printed and sent out to every address,
where it is thought good would result.
Articles upon the soil and climate, upon
the natural and artificial advantages
should be prepared and sent. Our mer-
chants are as deeply in crested as any
one. For to them will come the natural
trade of all newcomers. We would
suggest to our real estate men that they
call meeting of business men apd see if
some systematic and good plan can not
be agreed upon whereby they can divert
a good share of the immigration this way.
