we are not afflicted with petit criminals out here,
only as we have to pay tax to support them.
What think you? OF course, we mny expect OPP

barbarisns, but we think if a man is SO brutal as
to whip his wife, he ought to be made to take a
dose OF his own medicine. The Jail has ceased to
be a terror to some. and we think the lash would
be better. When a penalty ceases to be a cor
~reotive. il should be set aside, and something
moro potent substituted. We do not believe 1t

sparkling refers to unmarried persons. but 1 en-
joyed sparkling my wife SO, in our unmarried
days, that 1 have not ceased sparkling her yet,
though We have been married for some years.
Now, Mr.. Editor, don't you think 1t u good
plan for married persons to rehearse their VOW
occasionally?
like your paper, but do not agree with it on
all subjects. l have no use for immigration So
cieties; the reason is. that l have no land for
sale. 1 do not oppose people coming here, and
settling among us, but l want them to come
without. being Coaxed. Then, f dissatisfied, they
cannot say,''You Missourians lied to u.s." We
should not oppose foreigners coming to Amer
lea; neither should we solicit them to come.
Men who have land for sale are interested IN
having immigrants to buy it, but to no other
class OF men is it any advantage. When mel Oh
bors are as thick as we are. and a number of
them raising twin babies, it is enough to alarm
us. Here are j. j. Browning and j. F.. Dalton

babies, not over two or three months old. Now,
in the face of all this, what use have we Tor I'M

Gov. Phelps saws in bis message:

Gov. Phelps says in his message
1.-The last legislature performed a very
important and arduous labor. The laws
OF this state, contained in the last revis-
Ion and also embraced IN about a dozen
volumes OF acts of the legislature, passed
since that time, were revised and dlges-
ted in q manner which reflects great
credit on our legislature and the indi-
vlduals having charge of the work. and
would reflect great credit upon any leg
islatlve body. 1t is not to be expected
that such a labor is perfect. No very
important amendments to the laws sug-
gest themselves to me. Perhaps. how
ever some errors may have been discov-
cred which will require amendment; il
so, you will take the necessary steps to
remedy them. Frequent changes OF the
important laws of the state are not desi.
rable, bat bad laws should be forthwith
changed or repealed. Where changes
are numerous and frequent, it sometimes
becomes difficult for the most skilled ju-
rist to determine exactly what the law
is" This puts the matter of new legis-
lation on the proper basis. If 1t is nec-
essary, it should be had. II 1t is specu-
lative or predetermined it should not be
had.
