instructions were issued from Police
Headquarters last evening, based on COM
plant of the sale of loavcs of bread which
were Of light weight, that raid should be
made last night and this morning, and that
parties having bread of illegal weight in
their possession for sale should be arrested.
The law authorizes officers to enter and
search bakeries and all stores, shops, carts or
wagons in which bread is stored. The
result of the raid was somewhat
abortivc by the fact that the news
became widely circulated that the
search was contemplated. However, some
good results followed, for this morning five
bread wagons were drawn up in front of the
Police Court, and the Attorneys Office was
filed with loaves which were being weighed.
Paul Burker was arraigncd for having
eighteen light loaves, for which he had left
as collateral 50 each or s36 in ALL which was
forfeited.
Justin Kaiser was charged with selling
five loavcs, which were found in one wagon,
and $40 fine was imposed, and nine in an.
other wagon, and S1S fine imposed.
John Ockershousen was charged with
having thirty loavcs in his wagon, each
weighing more than one ounce below the
regulation weight, and a fine of $50 was i'm
posed.
All the parties charged had loaves weigh
ing one-half ounce below what is required,
but Mr.. Padgett, the prosecuting attorney,
decided not to charge these.
Why not? 1t was violation of the
law, and swindle is swindle, whether
for an ounce or a-half ounce.-ED. CRITIC.

On the 9Th inst, III. Martin Williams,
Sol. Kitchen, and one "Hon. J. M.
North, Of st. Louis" went down to
Mississippi county, and poured forth a
tremendous screed of Greenback doc
trine. We extract from Mr.. North g
speech:
We would pattern after the great Father
and establish compensatimg forces; as matter
attracts matter so money makes money, and
whilst we would not disturb those great mo-
tives to human industry, yet we would pre-
vent BY lawful means the undue accumula-
ton of wealth In the hands of a few. We
would avoid this by making money easier to
get, by increasing the volume Of money I'M
til property shall pay better than money pays,
and having secured this condition of things,
men will be compelled to invest their money
in property tor gain, causing demand for
property, giving labor to all who desire to Ia
Dor; causing these accumulations OF money
to flow through the channels of industry to
the extremities Of our country, enabling our
people to be busy in the creation Of wealth
and happy in its enjoyment.
Now, we would like to know who
wants money that is easier to get than
property? And we would like to know
what one would do with money that
did not pay as well as property? No
body would sell property of any kind
for money that could not be made to
pay as well as the property itself. II
you couldn't buy property-farms,
shops, factories, mills, and their prod
ucts-with money. what in thunder
would you do with it, even if you pos
sessed it by the million?
These: are some conundrums we'd
like to have answered.
