The greenbackers and republicans OF
Missouri are quarrelling among themselves.
If ever there was an unholy alliance it is that
between the two parties above mentioned.
1t is marvel that the rank and file of the
greenback party can allow themselves to
be duped by their leaders into an ALI
ance with their political enemies. There
is no sympathy between the two parties in
any shape, manner or form. And 1t is
only where the republicans are hopelessly
in the minority that they viii consent to
have anything to do with the crazy intia-
tionists, as the republicans call their green
back allies.

1t is said that Frank H. Hall, the green
back nominee for state superintendent of
public instruction of Illinois is receiving
assurances from democratic politicians
that he will be nominated by the demo
cratic party. The ARGUS hopes that no
such programme is thought of. The dem
ocratic party has had enough of trading
and trafficing. 1t sold itself out in 1872
to Horace Greeley and has hardly yet re-
covered from that stupid mistake. 1t has

POLITICAL OPINION
Pougkeepsie News.

Thus far the tariff commission has heard
only arguments ON the side of the manu-
featuring interests of this country. When
are the claims of the consumers to be pre-
sented? We are forced to make this re-
Election upon the committee from the fact
that when the rates on sugar were under
discussion the manufacturer stated tha:
sugars should be considered as to it's
saccharine strength; that if they should
admit light-colored sugar in condition
acceptable TO consumers it would affect
the interests of the reffners. Mr.. Kowlton,
of New York, who was present, possessed
the fairness to say that the consumers
should have some voice in the question of
greater interests than fifteen or eighteen
refiners. The commission made no reply
and it would seem, from the manner in
which they are proceeding, that the inter
ests of the consumers were to be entirely
ignored.

A SAD CASE OF HEARTLEssNEss AND iNsAN-
ITY FROM THE GOLDEN STATE.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, July ga sad
sequel to love affair has Just been brought
to light in Oakland, Alameda county.
A Miss Smith was employed as a clerk
in one of the stores of SanFrancisco. She was
accused of being heartless tiirt by those
whom she had made to drink the bitter cup
of disappointment, and no sooner had she
succeeded in bringing one lover to her
feet than she would be off in quest of new
victories She was always fortunate
enough to have reserve on hand, and
never felt the need of that pet so much
sought after by less fortunate women-a
man. Finally she met her affinity, or
thought she had.
A young lieutenant from Vallejo was
caught in her net, and she thought the
prize worth keeping. In due time the
marriage ceremony was TO be performed,
and the bride had selected her rousseau
and informed her family of the prospec-
tive son soon 10 be admitted within the
circle.
One day Miss Smith was absent from
home, lady friend called and picking up
Miss Smiths album asked her mother how
she became acquainted with Mr.. Brown,
Mrs. Smith replied that it was not Mr..
Browns photograph which she was looking
at, but Lietenant Blanks, of Vallejo, and
that he was engaged to be married soon to
her daughter.
Engaged to be married to your daugh-
ter! Why, that's impossible, exclaimed
the lady visitor, "he is my brother-in-law.
Bring your sister, and if she recognizes
that picture as her husband | will believe
what you say. and not before, replied Mrs.
Smith.
The lady brought her sister to the house
Immediately, and opening the album asked
her whose picture that was, when the
reply came, Why, it is Harry, my hus-
band.
He was not, and never had been, an
officer of the navy, and had borrowed the
uniform of lieutenant in which to have
his photograph taken to carry out the de-
ception being practiced on Miss Smith.
When Mrs. Smith was convinced of the
truth of the matter she gave way TO grief;
but soon indignation gained the mastery,
and she insisted upon the ladies accom-
panying her to Oakland, where her daugh
ter was, that she might be made acquaint-
ed with the facts.
Crossing the bay, the three ladies found
Miss Smith in the company of her affianc-
ed.
The mother, white with anger, said.
Hattie, do you know who the scoundrcl is
you have promised to marry?"
Promised! scoundreli" cried the girl,
jumping from her chair, pale and fright
ened.
Yes, Hattie, scoundrel,'' replied Mrs.
Smith; "a married man, low villain, and
this is his wife" pointing to the injured
wife.
The girl fell to the floor with a shrek.

A Boston paper is responsible for the
statement that the disgusting habit of snuff
dipping has spread among the female OPP
peratives in Massachusetts factories to such
an extent that fifteen tons of snuff are an

the Catholic bishop of the state publicly
forbade this use of the weed, and for time
there was considerable falling off in the
sales of snuff, but the prohibition has now
become practically dead letter.
