THE Flatonio Argus after in

The Flatonio Argus after in
vestigating the governors veto
says I'VE are convinced that the
veto was an unwarranted inter-
ference in the part of the exc
cutive and was induced by an
overwhelming desirs to crush
out free schools" Such we
think will be the opinion of all
who give the matter such
thought as its Importance de-
serves and who are not preju-
diced against the schools, as is
the governor and majority of
his adherents.

In boiling meat for soup, use cold

You can get bottle or barrel of oil

Broil steak without salt: it draws

Beef having a tendency to be tough,

presided; where the eloquence of a
Webster, Clay, Preston, Haine, a
COrwin, had echoed in solemn and state
ly grandeur; that there should ever be
heard such epithets as "blackguard, cow
ard and liar" would have seemed i'm
possible. And yet that impossibility
has just happened.
1t would seem, indeed, that in political
matters all things are possible. 1t may
be deemed impossible that both silver
and gold shall be demonetized, and "tiat
money" be made the currency of the
continent. But, De La Matyr slill lives;
and the impossible may again happen.
Political prophets may declare that the
election of Thurman, or the third elec-
tion of Grant, to the Presidency, is quite
impossible. But let such soothsayers be-
ware of discounting such impossibilities.
1t is even possible that Ewing may be
elected Governor, or Piatt; or that Lou
isiana witnesses may tell the truth before
Congressional committees; or that Con
gressmen may not steal more than the
$4,000 already taken; or that Hayes
may not be candidate for reelection.
In fact, there can be no such thing as a
political impossibility. And if any such
thing could be found, let our calculating
politicians take note ont; for that thing
will be most likely to happen.

the magistrate could see that the poor girl
was on her knees, that her hands werc
