To Justify the above assertion needs

follows: Highest temperature on the

The Moscow correspondent of the
Cologne Gazette says that the practice
of banishing Russian criminals to Sibe-
ria has of late been repeatedly objected
to both by legal and political authori!
ties in Russia aud that even tho Gov.
ernment recognizes the necessity of q
thorough reform of the present system.
Deportation to Siberia was frat intro.
duced as mode of colonization. and
Punishment did not depend 80 much on
the degree Of the convict's guilt as on
his capacity for labor; indeed many
persons who were innocent of any
crime used to he sent to Siberia as set
tiers. II is only in comparatively re-
cent tines that Punishment has been
looked upon rs means of clearing
Russian society of its dangerous ele-
ments. Only those arc now banished
to Siberia who are regarded as DANCE
rous to society and the State, irrespec.
tive Of any qualifications they may
possess a. coloni,ts. The number of
persons "deported" TO Siberia in 1875
was about 1880, 5000 Of these were
sentenced to Punishment by . court Of
law. 5000 were bsnished "by admins.
trative Decree" and tho rest were the
women and children of the exiles It il
estimated that the total number OF ban.
ished persons now in Siberia 10 about
1000.

Do the business men of Parsons want
people to come to town to trade? or do
they want them to 90 to other towns to
buy what they need? Other towns are
holding out inducements, are advertising
literally, and by 20 doing are getting
trade that really belongs to Parsons.
Parsons has some good, wide awake mer-
chants and live business men and few
who advertise literally but the MAORI
ty sit back for trade to hunt them up.
There are men in this town who never
spend dollar in trying to induce trade
to the town, but who wait until some one
or two Of our really enterprising business
mon advertise and otherwise induce peo-
TO come. and step in and try to get their
proportion of the trade. Such men are
too selfish and have too little enterprise
to be of any benefit TO 4 town, and it
would be q Gods blessing IS they would
shut up shop and give room to men Of
some public enterprise. If every bust.
ness man in town would put his sign in
the newspapers of the town, and invite
the trade of the people Of the county to
come to Parsons, trade would be very ma.
terially increased, and the expense would
scarcely be felt. Read the home adver-
tisements in The San, and find out who
invites You to Parsons to do your trading.
This is not particularly bid for person
al interest, but rather is said for the ben
eft of the town in general. We do not
think it right that Q few men should do
all the advertising for the town. 1t is
! matter in which all should be interested.

DUTY TO A NEWSPAPER.

Capt. Lucas at Waterloo Convention
Newspapers have a job Office in connec.
ton with their establishments. If q
cloth peddler or other peddler come along,
the merchants all rush to the newspaper
Offices and ask the editors to tell their
readers that cloth peddlers are insuch q
township, and should not be patronized.
The newspapers at once, in behalf ofhome
merchants, give the peddlers good lift
that very soon drives them out of the
country, and brings the trade as it should
90, to the home merchants. This is all
right and proper. But mark you; an
amateur job printing Office is opened and
some blacksmith goes in and becomes a
printer. He will print 1000 letter heads
for so cents less than the newspaper man
charges. You say you will save tie fifty
cents; you become economical, but did it
ever strike you that you are encouraging
peddlers? The newspaper gives notices to
churches and never thinks of charging
for them, and yet when they have a job
of work to do should it 60 to the anna
teurs7 That is wrong. We oppose this
from the same standpoint that we oppose
thepeddlers. Suppose merchant comes
to my Office and asks me to 60 through
his store, and give, with 2x4 press and
a few fonts of type, him a notice. 60
down and he shows me all the new goods
and different styles, and I write him up
the best kind of q notice that can.
Suppose that the next day he has q job
of printing, on which there is profit Of
$3.50 and he slips through some dark al
ley or around some corner, and gives it to
some amateur, just to save so cents. Is
that honest 1t may be honest, but it isn't
pretty. The papers of this Congressional
District continually labor for the uphold
ing of the town, for the building of rail.
roads and all other Improvements. Should
you intend building a church, you 60 to,
the editor and spread out your plans be-
fore him, and he gives them to the public,
and who would think of making any
charges. They only ask in return the
support they are entitled to. They have
got beyond the time when they beg for
favors and if they can't stand upon their
own merits, they should 60 down. without
any unnecessary delay in the ceremony.

WHERE ARE wEi

Under this heading the Meatodist for
August speaks with no uncertain sound.
We suppose the editor writes this - .
religious duty or possibly he ays it
because be cannot help it, at all events
no reader will doubt his political convic-
tions. He says: Thousands of freedmen
fleeing to the north, coming in their pow
erty, leaving the land Of their birth for
liberty's sake, to be the object of charity
among strangers! Thousands more intim-
idated by threats of armed men, proven
ted from following their example |!
Thousands of dollars contributed by the
people of the north to aid these oppressed
fugitives Methodist preachers arrested,
imprisoned and murdered in cold blood
in Arkansas for the crime of preaching
the Gospel to colored people, while the
courts fail to condemn the villains who
are guilty of the outrage /! Gov. Colquitt,
of Georgia, that eminent lay represents.
tive of the M. E. church south, at the
decoration of soldiers graves, eulogizing
the lost cause The arch.rebel Davis, ex-
president of the defunct slaye-oligarchical
confederacy, declaring in convention of
newspaper men amidst deafening applause
that the women of the south were never
reconstructed, and that their sons
will yet avenge the wrongs of the south
The congress of the United States in the
hands of rebel generals and dough-faced
sympathizers of the north, seeking to
choke the nation to death A grand old
hero in the White House holding the
noisy revolutionary crowd at bay! But
we pause. We are dizzy with the reci-
tai of such topics. Where are we Z? Is
this the republic born in 1861 ? Are We
Americans Or, has some fiend in the
darkness of the night, when all were
asleep, transformed and tranfered the
nation, down instead the fragments of an
efiete heather monarchy? When shall
this spell be broken When will the
spirit of the fathers return? Oh, for an
awakening of the political conscience
and purging of the legislative halls ?
Rally, brave and good men! We will
patiently wait, for the day of reckoning
will come! We shall yet see the declare
ton ofindependence and the constitution
restored, their utterances respected,
their truths understood and applied
Woe be unto the men who fight against
the upward march of humanity ! Honor
to the men who prove true in the day of
trial! Glory be to God Who overthroweth
the wicked and causeth the righteous to
triumph!
