EDITOR TRIBUNE:
DEAR SIR:-As was looking over your
paper the other day, going up one side and
down the other, / could not help but notice
great void in the non-appearauce of the
Business Ads of our thriving town. Your
paper certainly is smart, toney, and wide
awake to the general prosperity of this
county, as well as the surrounding country,
and should be in every hamlet in the coun-
ty. We know "Barkis is willin'" to do
his part, x. Y. z. tried to get them up q
good Boiled Dinner, the ether day, and
because he put in littlo vinegar and
mustard to tone it up, some are disposed to
go back on the diet Well, there is no use
in trying to account for the varied tastes of
humanity.
Well, after filling our elevators to suffo-
cation, and piling up wheat sacks ON the
sidewalks, from one end Of town to the
other, for pedestrians to stumble over, the
North Star Elevator Co." have got up on
their ear! and SO up goes another elevator,
which will probably be enclosed this week.
The new one is rather an amendment to
the one now up, capacity somewhere from
IS 900 to 80, 900 bushels, and so it goes.
There is destiny that shapes our ends,
rough hew them as we will" 1s il not q
shame that x. Y. z. should put so much
ass-id in his painting as to almost neutral
ize the colors, and yet we live, move and
have fellow feeling for oil.
understand Mr.. Sherwood steps down
and out Of the elevator; reason, the pay is
not adequate to the labor performed, also
his health will not warrant him in staying
any longer.
AS II is the fashion now days to change
names, the question is, will the old eIeva-
tor be called the Old Reliable, Queen of
the West" or would Rose by any ether
name smell, &C.
WE'LL since cannot prove lover to en-
tertain these fair we'll spoken days, will
step down and out, for some one more tai
eLted and worthy than your
Humble Serv't, Z.Y.Z.

Remember the poor. Those who enjoy
health, comfort, and plerty. should re-
member their less fortunate neighbors.
The sick, the needy, the unfortunate should
not be forgotten; e trifle given, not as cold
charity, but as seasonable gift, as a pres
ent, will gladden. the hearts, and tempora-
rily help the distressed, lessen their bur-
den, and brighten their cherries homes.
Think, you who are surrounded by every
comfort, think Of the many to whom some
small gift of food or raiment might prove
most opportune AMI acceptable, and do not
bcgrudge the sharing of portion OF your
riches with those who are, perhaps, in ac-
tual want

A stranger might think the lighthcartcd-
ness and good humor of the people of this
State, was attributable 10 the magnificent
climate, bountiful crops, good prices, ex.
celleut prospects, or the thousand and one
other blessings we enjoy, but have not
space to enumerate. Yes, u visitor would
naturally jump at this conclusion; yet the
cause would be but partially explained.
Stranger, attribute two-thirds of our ecstat-
ic emotion 10 biennial sessions; it is be
cause Of no session of the legislature this
season, that the heart of the average citizen
rcjoices and feels glad.

The governor Of Maine and his cocoon
spirators have canvassed the returns, and
the result is about as anticipated. The re-
publicans have been counted out, and the
democrats counted in. The voters of the
State made choice OF a legislature in which
both branches were republican by large
majority, viz: on a joint ballot of 100 to 20.
The returns have been manipulated in such
manner as to almost reverse the figures,
as instead of the republicans having a ma
jority. they are now in the minority. 1t is
of course claimed that Garcelon and his
gang acted in strict conformity with the
law, but that nearly all the alleged inform.
alitics and defects should be found in the
returns from republican districts, looks as
if the returns had been examined through
a democratic microscope. There is no use
in trying to hide the crime, it is 40 plain
and as hideous as picture of damnation
on mud wall, and 1t is without doubt one
of the boldest and most infamous political
crimes ever perpetreted upon q people.

COMMERCE WITH MEXICO.

Hon. William A. Phillips, of the first
district. delivered speech in the House Of
Representatives the other day on the subject
pending on bill for the building Of an ill.,
ternationsl railroad between the United

one and has attracted widespread attention.
We clip from the New York Tribune the
following interesting comment upon il and
the important subject which it treated:
mo one interested in the future CONNER.
ciai greatness Of the republic can read with
out interest the speech Of Hon. William A..
Phillips Of X snsas, in the House of Repre-
sentatives, on the subject of an international
railroad between the United States and Mex.
leo. The road which has been proposed
would run from Austin, the capital OF Texas,
TO TOpolovambo, a newly discovered bay on
the west coast Of Sinalos, Mexico, about
midway between MaIulan and Gusymas.
The capacity, convenience and safety Of the
bay ssd suitability and excelerce rs har-
Dor, have BEEN demonstrated BY three sep-
arAte surveys already made By our navy de-
pirtment. If feasible railroad route can
be found to this entrepot, immediate bene-
fits viii result 10 all cities in the lower Mis-
sissippi, middle, southern and eastern
States, which will gain in going TO Topolo-
vzmbo, about 500 miles over their route TO
San Francisco, and about 400 miles over
their route to San Diego. Every seaport,
according 10 the estimate Of Mr.. Phillips,
on the Atlantic, from Maine to Texss, will
have shorter line to the Pacific than can
possibly be had at any port north or south
of ToPo!ovambo. The proposed railway,
If is suggested, will open new and prac-
tically unknown country, nearly q moiety of
