The sensible editor of the Sparta Plain
dealer tells the nabobs Of the country who
maintain sovereign contempt for the "dol-
lar of the dads" to take it easy, and not
worry so at the piles accumulating in the
Treasury; thatit wont help their circulation
to ridicule them as "buzzard dollars or
"eighty-fv cent" frauds" and the man or
newspaper is fraud who will do it. The
silver dollar, like the greenback, has
come to stay. If you don't like them, let
them alone; there are plenty ofpeople who
do.
For many years DR.. AFTER has had all
his personal affairs swell in hand" leaving
none of the details in doubt and uncertain
ty. Full directions were left by him as to
the disposition of his body; his monument
having been erected several years ago Tin
der his own personal supervision. In some
things he was peculiar, perhaps, as for in
stance in leaving directions that the casket
containing his body should be imbedded
in cement. While this is sometimes done
elsewhere, ii is an unusual thing in South
ern Illinois. His directions, in this partic-
ular, were strictly followed.
Country wagons, loaded with tomatoes,
young corn, beans, eggs, chickens, corn
meal, etc, are seen upon our streets in all
parts of the city, of late. On entering the
city, the hawkers put such high prices on
| their stuff that the residents OF the upper
part Of the city are utterly unable to effect
purchases. BY the time the wagon reaches
Tenth street the prices are put down until
they rule evenly with those of the family
grocers. In the lower part Of the city the
purchaser has the inducement of low
prices. Hence if the Fourth or Fifth
warder would buy advantageously from
country wagons, he must follow them to
the lower part of the city.
We have been repeatedly asked why
the City Council does not order special
election to fill the vacant Office of Police
Magistrate. Our answer is, 1--WE don't
know" There is really no apparent need
of such an officer Justices Robinson and
Comings have jurisdiction concurrent with
that of a Police Magistrate, and If an cleo
ton should be held the people could do no
better than elect one of these gentlemen to
the position. The police regulations would
not be perceptibly bettered by it and by per-
hitting the Office to remain vacant the city
not onlysayes the expenses of a special cleo
ton, but the salary of $25 per month to the
Magistrate. We think it altogether likely,
therefore, that no special election will be
ordered, and that the Office will remain
vacant until the next April election.
