tits untrue that Col. Corkhill's re-
moval is caused by the charge Of Nc
Neagh and Col Cooks friends that the
district attorney Is in sympathy with the
star route people.
The explanation made yesterday
shows that he has not been nj fault SO
far as the grand jury is concerned.
He notified Attorne-Genera McNcagh
before he adjoureed the grand jury last
September, and the encouragement
said that if he wanted the services of
the grand jury he would let him know.
This he never did, and the inference
drawn by the public was that Corkhill
adjourned the jury to avoid bringing in
indictments against certain of the star
route people before the statute of limi-
tations should 20 into effect.

THE TINES.

The rapid and wonderful develop
ment of the West. the tremendous
strides of our new railroad lines. the
ever increasing demand for all kinds
of skilled labor and the activity of every
kind of manufacturing industry and
building enterprise SO soon after gen
eral period of stagnation, is something
wonderful to contemplate. and the
more thoughtful among observers are
led to eNclaim. what is to be the out
come? VIII it, like & train of loose
cars on a long and steep grade, go on
with ever increasing momentum till
the grand crash comes at last, at the
foot of the grade, and buiies all in
wreck and confusion. So far as the
present prosperity is healthy and reason
able it need not, and yet, in seasons
of general prosperity and activity IS the
very time when men grow reckless and
forgetting the ever-recurring lessons of
the past, plunge headlong into doubt
ful enterprises. and become involved
themselves and involve others in their
own ruin. Action and reaction is
the law ofnature, and one follows quick
ly upon the heels of the other.
Now is the time to lay the founda-
tons on solid, enduring basis, and
the man who is square with the world,
and knows what he owns is not an
others, is the one who can afford to
laugh at panics, and snap his fingers
at hard times.

Oct. Doth. 1881. f.,

Yours Of the Goth inst. came duly tc
hand. 1t found us all well and as well
satisfied as we could be under the cir.
cumstances. 1t is true that this coun-
try has suffered wonderfully with the
drouth, probably more so than with
you: although everything is plenty at
the prices, Corn is worth from so to
go cents: prairie hay 81 per ton; oats 60
cents per bushel. The best quality of
flour 20 per cwt. AS to vegetables,
there are none to be had, although
vegetables Of every description can be
raised here as well as in Missouri.
There was no ram in this part of the
state troh the 10th Of June to the 18th
OF Sept. Consequently nothing could
make good crop.
Lewis has sowed ten acres of wheat
the seed cost him $50 per bushel.
The land is well adapted to wheat, and
will make a good crop If seasonable
| like the country very much and ac-
cording to my judgement, is as good as
there is in the United States for the
age of it. This part of Cook county
was first settled about eight years ago,
and now it is thickly settled along the
streams with nice clever people.
This is the finest grass country ever
saw. Cattle and horses live
fat the year through without any
grain. Even the work horses are turn.
ed out to feed themselves.
The greatest objection is the scarcity
of timber. The fencing is principally
barb wire.
Raw land is selling for from 81 to So
per acre: the best bottom land sells
at So to 81. in some instances S..
These lands are excellent. The best
upland for farming purposes sells for
$3.50 to So The grazing land brings
usually about 81, and is very fine for
grass Raising stock is the principal
business. Cotton Is cultivated to quite
an extent, and is the best quality raise t
n the United States.
We had no trouble IN getting water
or the horses. Hay was hard to get
md high when we did find it. The

New YORK, Nov S.-The voting
is proceeding quietly here and in
Brooklyn. Dispatches from the inte-
rior represent the weather cold, dark
and gloomy, and general apathy at the
polls. In New Jersey heavier vote is
being polled and more excitement en-
lists. 1t is said Thomas Murphy, the
Republican candidate for congress in
the Ninth District, in the same part of
his district is polling two votes to Har
dy democratic candidate, one; also that
Murphy is receiving the support of a
number of democrats. 1t was alleged
that an attempt had been made to steal
the entire vote for Edward Hogan for
Senator in the Fifth district and the en-
tire ticket of the county democracy in
that district Hogan's tickets were not
delivered, it is said, from the printers.
and is thought this was a plan to defeat
him and the county ticket in his district.

PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT.

PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., November T.
The following proclamation was ISSUED
from the Department of State to-da,
bv the President of the United States
of America:
1t has long been a pious custom o
our people with the closing of the yeal
to look upon the blessings brought to
them in changing the course of sea.
sons, and to return thanks to the all,
giving sources from whom they flow:
and although at this period, when the
falling leaf admonishes us that the time
of our sacred duty is at hand. our ma
ton still hes in the shadow Of a great
bereavement, and the mourning which
has filled our hearts still finds us in a
sorrowful expression toward the God
before whom We but lately bowed in
grief and supplication, yet the count
less benefits which have been shower
ed upon us during the past twelve
months call for our fervent gratitude,
and make it fitting that we should re-
ioice with thankfulness that the Lord
in his infinite mercy has most signally
favored our country and our people.
Peace without and prosperity within
have been vouchsafed to us. Nopest-
Hence has visited our shores. The
abundant privileges of freedom which
our fathers left us in their wisdom are
still our increasing heritage, and if in
parts of our vast domain some afilic-
lion has visited our brethren in their
forest homes yet even this calamity has
been tempered, and In a manner
sanctiied, by the generous compass
sion for the sufferers which has been
called forth throughout our land. For
all these things it is meet that the
voice of the nation should so up to
God in devout homage. Wherefore I.
Chester A. Arthur, President of the
United States. do recommend that all
the people observe Thursday, the 24th
dav of November, as day of national
thanksgiving and prayer, by ceasing,
SO far as may be, from their secular
labors, and meeting in their several
pIaces of worship, there to join in
ascribing the honor and praise to Al
mighty God, whose goodness has been
50 manifest in our history and In our
lives, and offering earnest prayers that
His bounties may continue to us and
our children. In witness whereof |
hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington,
his the 4th day of November, in the
ear of our Lord 1881, and of the IN
dependence of the United States the
Doth.

NUMBER TWENTY NINE.

The bloody work still goes on in st.
Louis. Last Monday evening while IN
the discharge Of his duty, officer Doran
was deliberately shot through the head
and instantly killed, by a desperate
named John Shea. After some difficulty
the murderer was hemmed and captur-
ed in blind alley. near the lindel Ho-
tel. and afterwards incarcerated in muir
derers row, now making twenW-nne
men who are lying in the St. Lou
is jail for the crime of murder. Ii is a
disgrace upon the name of St. Louis.
Ii seems that il is impossible, if he has
money, TO punish a man for crime.
When courts ofjustice are perverted.and
criminals escape unpunlshed. Ii
is no wonder the honest people feel like
taking the law into their own hands. Six
years ago Charles krins deliberately
shot woman because she refused to
forsake her husband and become his
mistress, yet, that man still lives, and
though a jury of twelve men have said
he should hang, Judge was found
corrupt enough to give him an oppor-
tunity to slip his neck out of the moose,
and the william has another chance for
his life. Twenty-nine men accused Of
murder, lying in the Jail awaiting trial
at one time, 1t is disgrace to the

Not all newspapers which make money
are good, for some succeed by catering
to the lowest tastes of respectable peo-
pie, and to the prejudice, ignorance and
passion OF the lowest class; but as a
rule the successful journal pecuniarily
Is the oest journal. The reasons fo.,
this are on the surface. The impecu-
NOUS newspaper can not give its rea-
ders promptly the news, and, still
worse, it can not he independent. The
political journal that relies for support
on drippings of party favor or pa
trenage is poM affair, and, in the
long run OF short run, comes to grief.
The newspaper only becomes real
power when it Is able on the basis of
pecuniary independence to free itself
from all such entanglements. An
