-"Phocion Howard, the we'll known cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune, has
been spending the present week in Southern
Illinois, investigating the probable damage
inflicted upon agrictural and other interests
by the late drought. Col Howard says
there is a general feeling among prom
inent men in favor Of called session to
enact stay law for state and local taxes"
| - Shawnee News.-Mr. Howard, with un-
usual consciousness in his utterances
does not boldly suggest that the feelings
| among prominent men" be satisfied by an
order from the proper state authorities to
stop the collection of taxes Probably his
failure t. suggest this is due to the fact
that the reasons which, it is alleged, call
for such action, are very weak and the re-
suits that would follow it would be very Sc
rious. The state tax, thanks to the economy
in the management of the government, en-
forced by the democratic members in the
legislature, is very small, to be relieved of
which would hardly be fealt. Relief from
local taxation would be more important
affair, but while such relief would do mite
Of good here and there, the evil consequences
would be incalculable in advance The
county, township and district governments,
many Of which are in debt now, could not
possibly be carried on without the coec-
ton of the taxes, and the natural result
would be that officers could
not receive their salaries, courts could
not be convened, prisoners would
have to lie in Jail without a keeper
without food and without trial-in short
the whole machinery Of the county govern.
ments would suddenly stop, causing the
greatest confusion and much suffering. A
good suggestion is made by the Carmi
Times in the following words: The best
way to ease up matters is for each and all
to stop trying to borrow trouble about
hard times and go to work to meet their
| liabilities IF times are hard cut off enough
Injuries to even up on, and when the year
| is over you will be thankful that no bills
were stayed.

and as the people have not increased their
funds there can have been no change toward
greater liberaity in the policy pursued by
the commissioners in the case of INDECENT
or wounded strangers, The editor OF the
evening paper, having villifed the county
authorities because he thought their policy
toward the county poor was illiberal will
certainly not, being an honest man, attempt
to justify such villifcation, now that he has
"earned" from The BULLETIN and been
uniformed" by The BULLETIN otherwise,
by pretending that that policy has been
changed, when there was physical impos'
sibility of such achange.

creased and becomes known. In the case
of Lawson, as in many other cases, DR..
Parker and the sisters were imposed upon
by the friends Of the victim. Lawson was
taken in charge by the sisters and by DR..
Parker with the understanding that they
were to receive compensation for their SER
vices from the friends Of the patient. Sub
sequently these friends played the doctor
and the sisters falsely, refusing tos tand by
their promises, and thus lawson became a
charity patient and burden upon the sis
tiers and the doctor, which they can not de-
Gently abandon. If the evening paper
will but inform itself of the factsin case,
read the law bearing upon it and ponder
we'll over the whole matter, its editors SUI
perior wisdom, the result of superior age
will be less liable to break out in uncaled
for slurs and laundering criticisms, and it
would not then be compelled to resort to
Misrepresentation in order to extricate
itself out of the DILEMMA into which such
surs and criticisms have thrown it.

He acknowledges that the policy of the

in very ambiguous way. He seeks to

that there has been change in the policy

The supreme court Of Illinois has de-
cided that all game is the property Of the
state, and hence that farmers, even on their
own land, cannot shoot game during the
season included by the game laws. This is
probably news to large number, but a
rigid enforcement would not create any SIS
rious inconvenience, for farmers are not
much given to sporting at any time and
they have something Of more importance to
attend to during the busy season.

The price of corn has gone up kiting.
and now booms along at sixty and sixty
five cents. You can tell the farmer who
has two or three thousand bushels to sell,
by the complacent self-satisfied air with
which he surveys the doing of the jewellers
in the city. He wouldn't change places
with bank president, and even goes so far
as to turn up his nose at a newspaper re-
porter. When a man gets that far you may
know that he is literally rolling IN wealth
or has great expectations.
