PATRICK FISLEN, the Democratic candi-
date for county clerk, has been in Ottawa,
and we hear of him at La Sale, Mendoza,
&c, making the acquaintance of the voters
and looking after his "politiCaLfences,' 1t
is very well-no more than he ought to do
in fact-for Mr.. Finlen TO put in little
honest work for the success of the ticket,
but so far as he himself is concerned, he
might as we'll dismiss anxiety and 90
a,tishing. His election by at least loco
majority is as certain as that election day
will come w. A. Morey, his opponent,
will need affidavits after the election to
prove that he was a candidate. Finlen
will beat him thousand in Ottawa and
La Sale alone, and his majority in Sreator
will overcome any possible majority for
Morey in the rural Districts

There were fifty-one new cases of yellow
fever at Pensacola on Wednesday and five
deaths. The cases to that date, 2,05S, and
16S deaths. The cool wave which had
lasted several days passed off without CIV.
ing the coveted frost. The demands for
relief increase as the sickness is prolonged.
The fever has crossed the little bayou two
miles from the city. A vessel of the board
of health went TO the neighborhood and
some slums Of the city revealed many
scenes of misery and suffering, combined
with some that were almost indescribable.
MIR. Tarbell, son of the mayor and collect.

HIM, shooting him through the body, but
this did not stop him. HolComb ielled
him with blow from his billy, and ter

Sherltf's body, when he missed his aim
and drove il deep into the floor of the barn,
the blade breaking off short The officers
at last overcame him, and took him to the
Jail, where at last accounts he was dying,

Hitherto the south has always been de-
pendent upon the north for It's corn. The
occupation of the fat boats from time out
of mind was TO carry corn and coal to the
south and bring back sugar, cotton and
rice. The tide seems now to be partly
turned. The Chicago Board of Trade on
Tuesday was surprised by offers of large
quantities Of corn from the south. One
lot of 100000 bushels was 10 come from
Kentucky and 100000 bushels were to come
from Tennessee The difference between
the buying price of the corn IN the south
and the selling price in Chicago is said to
leave large margin for profit, even large
enough to make the deal remunerative to
the Chicago buyers in the event consld-
cradle proportion Of the corn should grade
as low as rejected.

Sidewalk Report,

Messrs. Lockwood, Beatty and MacKin.
Law, the Ottawa sidewalk commissioners,
are finding much TO do, and will scarcely
get through this week. The complications
and lack of uniformity in size and shape
of lots in some OF the additions to the city
render II difficult TO make comprehensive
and accurate report without close figuring,
The city may rest assured that the report
of these gentlemen, when submitted, will
be complete and fully satisfactory, They
were appointed for specific duty-that Of
ascertaining where dangerous walks were,
and the amount of repairs, TO the extent #
entirely new walks, needed, To prCv. 1t
injury to persons is infinitely better thnn
the payment of hundreds or thousands uf
dollars rs awards of damages caused 10y de.
tcctivc walks. Besides the regular Official
report required from these gentlemen under
the statute, the commissioners will prohu-
bly, submit supplemental or informal re
port, giving certain information upon the
character of walks they, in their individual
deem best A close observation
for years has convinced them that plank
walks are the least permanent, rs well rs
the most expensive. II allowed TO run
down they also become the most dangerous
to life and limb, and most destructive to
shoe leather and ladies' skirts from contact
with nailheads and splinterS. Anopinion
seems to prevail in the minds of the com.
mlssionerS that flag. stone for the center,
where travel is the greatest, lined on either
side with coal ashes or cinders, and covered
with gravel or cement, all properly curbed
with plank or stone, would make cheap,
durable and perfectly safe walks. These
suggestions of the commissioners are prob
ably induced by the questions of hundreds
of our citizens wLo have not the slightest
conception of what Is best or cheapest un.
der the circumstances but they Will IN no
wise be binding upon the citizens, But
many repairs 1ril be required when the
necessary legal forms are complied with.

PRIMARIES.

it will likely be some time yet be-
fore the Democratic Central Com
mittee of this county will have oc-
casion to meet to transact such nee
cssary business as the approach of a
campaign may require. But, in the
time intervening, would it not be
wise for the individual members of
1hat committee to consider carefully
the different systems of primaries,
discuss the subject with the Demo-
Gratis of their respective townships,
in order that each might be fully
conversant with the workings of all
plans, and the opinions OF the peo-
pie regarding the same.
That the results of the primaries
of 1880 were satisfactory to the party,
none, We presume, will question.
Primaries were what the people
wanted, and their production left
peace and good will. To those who
understood the system it worked we'll
enough; hut there were some details
about it that appeared complicated,
and admits OF improvement. The
good old-tashioned way OF holding
primaries is to let the feetest horse
have the money-the man getting
the highest number of votes have the
office. Such system can be COM
pretended by every man in the party,
and as the results in either case will
in nearly every instance be the same
as was demonstrated by the pri-
marics of two years ago-then why
not pursue the most simple method.

IT'S A LITTLE QUEER.

lngratitude is birth-right with
some individuals, but it is not, there
tore, an exclusive heritage. Corpo-
rations and organizations are infested
with the same thing, and even re-
ligious denominations are heirs to
such human weaknesses.
When publisher, with a gener-
Gus good will and cheerful heart,
opens the columns of his paper to
every manner of church items and
''puffing" for concerts, festivals,
tairs and the like to the exclusion of
other, perhaps, more valuable mat
ter, it is accepted with a sort of
palaver over the publishers big
neart etc. and considered as mat
ter of course The church has no
money to pay for such notices. 1t is
not expected. Hence no disap-
pointment or grievance arises on this
score.
But, occasionally, they have
dollar or SO to spend for posters or
programs for instance; and then
they go straight way to neighbor-
ing office, which hasn't either the
facilities or disposition to do even
one-fourth the free advertising that
the other has done, and get their
work done and pay them the money. |
Not as much as single compli- !
mentary finds its way into the Office
where daily publication has blow
ed benefit of some kind for a week |
previous. 1t such be Christian grati-
tude, as it is acted by certain
denominations, well take but little
in ours.

application IN Butler among a certain
sect of religious people, and the
