OPTION DEALING
squirrels" Beware.

1t appears that some ofthe citizens
of Vandalia, as we'll as Mexico, have
been dealing in options. What the
Vandslia Leader says to the Vanda-
lians will apply equally to some of
our citizens:
Everyone in Vandalia, who have
invested in options, has come out
handsomely ahead, and they will CON-
tinue to do until their ranks are re-
cruited to number worth hauling,
and are well baited, then the anglers
will draw their hooks into your gills
and land high and dry so suddenly
and dexterously as to make your
head swim. We say this confidently
because this has been the experience
Of every town that has ever dealt in
grain options. Our neighboring city
Of Louisiana is an instance in point.
Pat Dyer, J. Carstarphen, Fos Mat
thews, A. NJ. Weir and the Pike
County Bank, were all wrecked a.
one sweep, by the Chicago Option
Board.
And this is the explanation OF it:
The prices of grain, on the option
board, are not regulated by the nat
ural laws of trade, but are purely ar.
b,trary-go up and down at the
lsweet will Of the rings Of operators
that are always there on the ground
They systematically bait town till
they get all In that can be likely b;
gotten in, and then they scoop the
town for all it is worth. There nev
er was all exception to this expert
ience. Vandalia will be no excep
ton. They can well afford you th'
| nice little gains you are now making

Committed For Libel.


The trial of Kenward Philip, the
editor Of the New York paper, Truth,
which first published the Chinese let
ter attributed to Garfield, Terminated
last week in a commitment Of the
prisoner for criminal libel. The case
was tried before Judge Noah Davis
of the New York Supreme Court and
in delivering the decision the Judge
took occasion to indulge in lengthy
and vituperative stump speech, Bit
terly denouncing the people and
newspapers who had anything to do
with tue circulation of the Garfield
letter, which he pronounced a forgery
beyond question. He was especially
severe upon Aif. Hewitt Of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee for
having publicly expressed a belief in
the gennineHess of the letter. Hew-
lit replies taking the judge bitterly
to task. During the trial one wit
ness claimed to have known Henry l..
Morey to whom the letter was ad-
dressed and another Who swore that
Morey was his nephew, confessed
that their statements were perjuries.
The prosecutors of Philip declare that
they will yet prove beyond question
that the letter is forgery. II
they can do SO let them do it. The
Democratic newspapers and polite
lans who have believed it genuine,
| have as q rule, been honest in it. II
they have been deceived ! they will
cheerfully acknowledge it. One
thing though is certain, Mr.. Gar.
Geld has never nor viii be ever deny
that the letter expressed his senti-
ments upon the Chinese question.

Names and Numbers.

There are some things that Mexico
needs more than others. One of these
is the naming Of our streets and the
numbering OF our houses on the prin-
cipal streets The names Of all our
streets should be painted and posted
at the corners. The city council
should take hold Of this matter at
once. 1t would cost them nothing,
for property owners would pay the
bill. It is almost impossible for man
to locate his business house 30 any
