the Commissioners to perform duties as in

very doubtful if the Legislature has the power
to compel roads to carry passengers free, and,
as the Commissioners would necessarily have
to ride over the several roads at least once

A NARROW ESCAPE. Eureka Leader
Of Wednesday tells the following;
A boy has the proverbial luck of a cat, and
although credited with but one life, preserves
that with the good fortune generally sup
posed to attend drunken man. Early this
morning, before school hours, youngster
was engaged coasting down Clark street, and
Just as he got under full Roadway, a, coal
team came down main street and swung
across the side street The boy, either not
seeing his danger, or reckless of the conse-
ouences, came Oh with added velocity. and
shot under the second span of mules in the
team, miraculously escaping the animals legs,
and ending his race down in the vicinity Of
huei street The bystanders held their
breath with fear during the incident, but the
bov seemed oblvious of the danger he had
incurred, and trudged up the hill to resume
his pastme.

The Good Results" (2l.

The people we're promised wonderful
things when resumption was established,
but not even the most sanguiue supporters
Of that measure ever dreamed that the
scope of its benefits would be so far
reaching. But there is little that repub-
lican organ would not claim if only it was
for the benefit of the party. These
results Of resumption" as the stalwart
organs call it, have gone too far and it is
time to call q halt. Lately it has been
carried to the extreme, limit and the ease
with which republican editors presume on
the credulity of their readers is cheeky, to
say the least, For instance-if some
Spectator 10 Colorado makes a fortunate
strike in mining,-the, fact is heralded
through the country and an editorial gener-
ally appears in the republican press, 10
which this freak of speculation is claimed
as evidence Of prosperity and one of the
beneficial results" of the resumption
policy, IF there is a sudden rise in stocks
owing to the manipulation of the market
by spectators, resumption is credited as
the cause. If wheat advances in London,
owing to the scarcity of the article and the
probable failure Of the English crop,
and American grain merchants make
handsome margin, resumption Is the cause,
shrieks the stalwart editor. If, through
bountiful crops the farmer is enabled to
lift a mortgage that has been hanging on
his farm, and which through light crops
he has been unable to lift until now, agar
come the republican editors and leaders
and shout to the people-"behOld the

republican party is deluding its followers

because the republican party leaders an
organs dare not face the true issues tina
they continue to harangue on the "bene

The Memphis cOlorea reputation.
ON Missouri Republican


The colored people of Memphis have is
sued an address to the people of the
United States, giving their reasons for re-
fusing to go into camp, and appealing for
contributions of money to enable them to
dwell in the city. They assert that 1t Is
not necessary for them to go into camp,
as the fever does not originate among
them, and they are in q measure exempt
from its ravages; but they are threatened
with doom more terrible than the yellow
fever, and that is death by starvation. ="
They say further that the city authorities
will give them no food unless they remove
from the city and go into camp In the
country, and they call upon the people of
the land to send them money.
Their appeal will not, we think, meet
with a very cordial response. The general
public approve the policy of removing all
the population of Memphis that can be
removed and establishing it in camp, sc
as to diminish the supply of material the
epidemic shall have to work on, The re
fusal OF the colored people to leave abe
city, where they have nothing to do, and
where they are exposed to the fever, i:
unreasonable and foolish, aud it is not pro
bable the country will uphold them in i
by sending them supplies of money.

in announcing that the reconciliation Of
silver in that country is likely to occur
soon, has had wonderful Strengthening
effect on silver, and if Germany establishes
the bi-metallic standard, other nations will
follow and soon our silver "buzzard dol
lars" instead Of being below par intrinsi-
cally will be above par and better than
gold.
This is just what the democratic ad-
herents of the silver dollar have always
claimed would be the result, and just the
reverse Of what the republican opponents
predicted At all times, under all circum-
stances the democratic party has been
consistent 10 its advocacy of the double
standard and the republican party has
endeavored by every means possible tC
defeat any measure that favored the
reconciliation OF silver. After the wisdom
Of the democratic policy is established
and it is daily being demonstrated tina
reconciliation was and is a wise tinancia
measure it need surprise mo enc to reat
in republican papers that the republican
party always favored the silver dollar
This is the usual manner of stalwart argu
ment-and it was always so-whateve
the republican leaders cannot accomplish
legitimately they will endeavor to do, b
brazen assumption and that unhedged in
pudence for which stalwart leaders an
organs are uniformly noted. Where mi;
representation of facts will answer, reput
, lican papers seldom worry over givin
their readers the truth.
