DoN'r Do IT.-We may as well repeat the
caution to everybody; Don't sign any note, con-
tract, agreement, or any other kind of paper,
presented by any person whom You do not know,
or by any transient peddler or agent. Don't do
it-dont do it! When you are travelling, or are
away from home, don't change money for a
stranger who applies to You for that purpose
don't loan him money for few moments; don't
advance money on n note or check until he can
get to where he can raise the money. Don't
have any transaction with strangers who offer
you chances to make money on their little tricks.
If you do any of the foregoing things, you are IL
able to be swindled ont of your money. Now,
read this, and remember it. Don't forget it, the
moment you lay your paper down, or imagine
that you are sharp enough to match any profess
ional sharper, or You will be taken in and done
for. There is no excuse for any one who allows
himself to be swindled in these ways.

PLANT BEAUTIFUL RosEs.-Spring has come again,
and while all lovers of flowers making up their
lists of plants and vines and other pretty things to
put in the ground it is warm enough, We
wish to speak word for Beautiful Roses. Plant as
many other flowers as possible but don't forget to
plant a bed of choice Everhlooming Roses. They
exceed all other flowers in beauty and fragrance and
the choicest varieties within the means of
all. Among the many Floral Catalogues now issued,
We know of none more entitled to confidence than
the New Guide to Rose Culture, published by the
Dingee & Conard Company, Rose Growers, West
Grove. Chester Co, Pa. 1t is finely illustrated,
describes culture and treatment II is sent free
application. The Dinsee & Conard Company have
fifty large houscs devoted to alone. and the
most extensive growers of roses in this country.
They send safely by mail postpaid to all post
offices in the United States, and can always be
depended on for reliable plants at reasonable prices.
They have a national reputation for prompt and
liberal dealing and said to give away more than
fifty thousand year in premiums to their Gus
toners.

An IMPORTANT MATTER A question has just
been decided by Judge Martin, which is of inl-
pOrtance to Justices of the Peace and parties
implicated in misdcmeanors. A case of assault
and battery was tried before a Justice, and the
accused found guilty, and sentenced TO pay
fine and costs An appeal was taken to the Dis
trict Court but before the time for trial arrived
the parties compromised the matter, and in the
agreement, the party referred to was TO pay the
costs. They were found to be very heavy, where
upon n. b. Wood, the mans attorney, made
motion for a re-taxing of costs. Judge Martin
took the bill of costs, and cut it down largely in
almost every item; and he decided that, under
the statutes. the fees of the Justice and Consta-
BILE combined could not, in any case of misde-
meanor, be more than ten dollars. This plays
smash with the cost bills of some Justices of the
Peace, and is an important item to those who
may become involved in actions for misdemeanor.

CUT-THRoAT.- Certain city job-printers have
agents ont over the country, soliciting job-work,
and their policy seems TO be TO take work at any
price, TO get it away from the home printers.
These agents often take jobs at less than their
employers can afford to furnish the raw material
for. business man of shis County recently
came to us for lot of work We gave him prices
that would afford us a reasonable profit, when
he stated that he had had the same work offered
TO him at a much lower price. We at once wrote
several city printers, for their prices for similar
work One answer was from the ST. Joseph Steam
Printing Company, that does first-class work,
carries on legitimate business and works for a
fair profit. Their price for part of the work was
the same ours on another part, il would
amount so 81 less-making the entire job 81 less
than we charged. They said that was their reg
ular price. But among the other replies were
sent prices that were less than we could buy the
blank paper for at the Wholesale paper dealers,
to say nothing of freight bills. How they eau
afford to work that way, is more than we can
tell, uuless they put their work at any price that
will take it away from the country Office. These
concerns not only have their soliciting agents
out but they have city booksellers and whole
sale dealers bumming for them with customers
who come in from the country to deal with them.

THE "RoMAN LAwYER."-0n our fourth page,
we republish W. W. Story's magnificent poem,
"a Roman Lawyer in jerusalem" in the First
Century. We published it some six years ago,
and then could not supply the demand for cop
les. We have had so many applications, from
time to time, that We determined to reprint it,
lengthy as it is. This eve of Good Friday is an
appropriate time, as it refers TO the Crucifxion.
1t represents Roman lawyer in Jerusalem,
writing to friend in Rome, narrating the be-
trayal of Christ by Judas, and the CrucifIiou,
ns he received it from old man, captain of the
Centurions, who had been an eyewitness to the
scenes 1t is one of the most powerful, logi,
cal and ingenious productions ever written.
Lawyers will especially appreciate it, as will all
persons of fine reasoning faculties

THE FIRST ShMPLE.-We have expressed the
belief that it will be next to impossible to con-
yict man for a violation of the liquor law, es-
pecially in the eastern Counties of Kansas, where
the sentiment is largely against the law, The
only way to do it, is TO pick jury for the ex-
press purpose; but jury selected by lot or at
random, can hardly be made unanimous. The
feeling on the subject is so intense, that the av-
erage juryman will be governed by his prejudic-
es and sympathies, and at the same time firmly
believe that he is deciding according to the law
and evidence. The case from Severance, tried
in Court last week, although not under the new
liquor law, was fair sample of what the rule
will be. The jury could not agree, and would
not have done so, had they been kept out whole
year. All such cases, if not acquitted, will have
to be strained over and over, until they wear
themselves out, or are dropped after the first trial.
to avoid an accumulation of costs.

THE SET OP THE CURRESr.-In quite a num-
Der Of Kansas cities and towns that have here
tofore chosen temperance tickets, the citizens
this Spring have united in the election of tickets
opposed to the temperance law passed by the
Legislature. Among these places, Lawrence and
Manhattan stand forth prominently. Why is
thisi Itis not for the purpose of granting licenses
forthat could not be done; and it would seem use
less to make Temperance issue in this election. 1t
can have no other significance than to show that
a reaction is already taking plaee-thst since
the Legislature enacted an arbitrary and tyranni-
cal law, the people are determined that the
same class Of fanatics shall not enforce the law,
and carry on system ofespionadge and persecu-
tiOn in the enforcement Of it. 1t is a reaction
that will in a very short time wipe out the pro-
hibition amendment and the law to carry it into
effect. 1t will be found that the prohibition
element in the Legislature overreached itself,
and hastened the downfall of its cause.

Let the "Fool- Try It.

1t is said that the President will be guided, in
his North Carolina appointments, by the advice
of Judge Toargee, author of "a Fools Errand"
His plan is to make appointments only from men
of Southern birth, and even from those who had
been Rebels. This gives great dissatisfaction to
the Northern men in that State, and to original
Southern Unionists; hut Tourgee says it will
take the bitterness ont of politics, and make
North Carolina a Republican State. The out
come will show what the Fool" knows about it.
In his ''Fool's Errand," we believe Judge Tour
gee toook himself for the character of "Fooi.'
1t was done in mock humiliation, as if to say:
"ol, no; don't know anything about it; am
a fool: those wise men at the North know it all"
But the impression left is, that he was the only
one who knew all about it, while the men IN
Congress who were puzzling and worrying over
the problem Of Reconstruction knew nothing.
While representing himself 4 man without
fear, keeping his wife and daughter in agony OF
fear for his safety, because he was so lion-hear-
ed that he disdained to follow the advice OF
Southern men whom he knew TO be his friends,
when following it eonld have sacrificed no prin-
ciple or point Of honor, but might have done
good; and when eensuring Congress for not see
ing az he saw, and acting accordingly, he fails to
give any better plan of Reconstruction. Now
that he has apparently got the President to con-
sent to let him work out the problem, We shall
wait and watch for the result.

x Are the calamities to be caused by the
planets, prophesied by Prof. Grimmer, about to
come to pass' There have been terrible storms,
all winter; floods are now devastating the eoun-
try; an earthquake has killed thousands of per-

Greece; the Black Death plague, that devastated
the East some centuries ago, is said to be reap
pearing; and calamities of all descriptions are
occurring throughout the world.

n The Emporia Ne'rs, replying to an article
in the Atchison Champion, attempts to show that
Kansas editors have been amply remembered, in
the way of office. In making out its case, it
mentions number of editors who have been
elected members of the Legislature. Isn't that
q tremendous honor and reward for newspaper
drudgeryi Editors like Jake, who are enjoying
s, 900 post-Office, afford to tell how news
paper men have been rewarded.

n The Kansas City Tnes publishes list of
Missouri cities that have gone Republican, to
show that Governor Crittenden is turning the
State over to the Republicans. The election of
a Union man as Governor by the Democrats is q
hard blow to the Democracy; but if paper
claiming the influence that the Times does, can
not prevent its own city from going Republican,
it ought to be easy on Gov. Crittenden.

The 'DEAD-LOCK.-This is what the wrangle
in the United States Senate is called. 1t is
simply n scramble for the subordinate offices,
and has become very great nuisance. The
Democrats have nothing to lose by it, and it
makes no difference to them how much time Is
wasted. Almost month and a half of the EI-
eeutive session has been wasted, and but very
little legitimate business done. Nominations
are stacked up, awaiting their action, but they
go on sparring and fillibustering. 1t is time the
Republicans got down to business. The only ef-
feet will be to postpone the reorganization until
December, and they should have waited until
then, any how. OF course, the Democrats set
the precedent for the present attempted action,
and the Republicans undoubtedly right; but
Democratic precedents are poor things to follow,
and the Republicans could have waited for the
assertion of their rights until time when there
could be no dispute shout the propriety of their
action. They may fear that they will loose Ma
hone, if they prOcrastinate; but, the other
hand, David Davis may lean to the other side of
the fence. A clearing up of the business, and
postponement Of the scramble for the Offices,
would be acceptable to the public.

THE BoND CONPROMIsE.-0ver $4,000 Of the
County bonds have been compromised. Some
parties, who had large amounts, have been hold
ing back, and commencing or threatening suits
They held out the impression that if they could
get &C cents for them, they would sell. As the
law permitted only 30 cents to be paid, an amend
ment was secured, at the late session of the Leg
islature, authorizing the Commissioners to in
crease the amount. Now, We learn, those same
nen are refusing to compromise, demanding 75
cents on the dollar, with full back interest. The
truth is, not of the bOndholders paid as high
as so cents for his bonds. They averaged not
over 35 OF 40 cents. They would make a large
profit, at 50 cents The people of the County
are not able to pay the full amount, and they
never received the consideration for the bonds
that was agreed upon. With their wheat crop
killed. and poor lookout for other crops, on
account of continued cold weather, the people
are murmuring, and we hear considerable talk
about holding public meetings to protest against
any compromise whatever, but that the payment
be resisted in toto. As things have turned ont,
We do not know bnt that it would have been
just rs well to have fought the whole thing from
the start; and this is what it may come to yet.
