that nearly all his old customers stick to
him now, is sufficient evidence that they
have had fair treatment at his hands, aud
it is not likely that these attacks upon his
good name and reputation for fair deal
ing will defeat his election, ON the con-
trary it ia said the Mirror has frequently
helped its opponents into office by its
TRADES and if / mistake not the ministers
will give helping hand this time.
I do not wish to make suggestion for
it is rather out of my line of business and
the ministers have no doubt studied the
snbject, perhaps they will know better.
But as christiany combines both moral
and religious codes (both having existed
independently previous to christianity
and which has been 80 eminently success
full why not add temperance clause in
the christian code and then withdraw
the subject from politics entirely. 1t
might have good effect upon large
class of people and through this source
the influence exerted might be much
greater. At any rate I hope the good
ministers who have scored Mr.. Smith so
badly will come forward and make
amends in the spirit of the command
ments, and if they must enter politics,
they will set us some good examples.
A READER.
The news., 1882-10-31

The Herald says "it is not denied
that Mr.. Merritt is the friend Of
George A. Halsey for the United
States Senatorship." The statement
is mot at all in keeping with Mr.. Mer-
ritt's statement when nominated.
In his speech Of acceptance he said in
substance that he was no mans man,
and that he pledged himself to moth
ing. He further substantiated the
same when he told the temperance
committee that he had made no pledg-
es to his own party and would make
none to them. We do not believe
that Mr.. Merritt is the friend of MIR.
Halsey any more than he may be to
other candidates that may appear.
The statement does not come from
Mr.. Merritt and at least lacks auth
ority.
The Herald also says that McPher-
son has NO opposition. This, Of
course, shows the editors preference.
He will be surprised, however, when
Mr.. Randolph shows his hand and the
chances are that he may hold the
winning cards. Instead Of no oppo-
sition We believe it will be neck-and-
neck.

received many compliments from men,
bers Of the Republican party and made
warm friends, the "Aiyr0r failed to
toast us. However, we shared the
glory.
We would like to be friendly with
the Mirror, in fact we try to be, but
deep-seated prejudice on the part Of
its editor bars us out. We are young
and need as many friends in the pro-
fession as it is possible to have, upon
them to great extent depends our
success. But the only mention we
ever get is spiteful and had better be
unsaid, as it only fires deeper hatred
in the SOU of the writer toward the
weaklings. We pine for his favor,
but alas, it is not vouchsafed. Hence
these tears.
The news., 1882-10-31

There is wellgrounded apprehension
among American farmers, mechanics and all
men except the LAWYERS themselves. that we
send to many OF "Blackst ones disclplesY to
our Legislatures. The real and substantial
interests of the county ahd the State should
not be entrusted to single class. There is
q deep-seated objection to what is called
"class legislation" There is just as much
objection to placing the bulk of tue law
making power into the hands of single
class. The men of the past dozen years who
have most benefited the people, are the far
mers and businessmen who have represe1-
ted us. 1t is not the glib t0ngued fellow
who can get up and talk learnedly about
"the law and the Constitution that makes
the best representatives. Half the mistakes
and more too, that are made in framing the
laws are made by lawyers themselves To
them. also. is to be credited the multiplicity
of our laws, and but for the enactment ofthe
provision enforcing general legislation, the
probabilities are that our statue books would
be double their present size. 1t is time to
call halt in this direction, and the people
should give tine call at once. To Judge by
the frequency with which they thrust them
selves forward for ofiice. one would conclude
that they thought themselves near neigh
bors to q privileged class and that the chief
duty and particular privilege of "the COM
mon people was to vote for a lawyer.
When In Congress, no norepreientatiye could
have been more attentive to the wants and
wishes of his constituents than represen a.
tive Smith. Seldom or never was he out of
his seat when anything that interested New
Jersey especially was under discussion. His
speech upon our system of Patent laws was
the best of Its kind ever delivered in Congress
and took views of the biect that were as
new as thew were welcome in Congress and
out OF it. From practical standpoint, not
many more useful men are to be found in
New Jersey, or elsewhere. His well-known
improvements in machinery have added
hundreds OF thousands of dollars to the
wealth of the country, have enlarged the

Of the laboring man, whether on the farm or

encouraging chapters that can be read right

honest, industrious and ambitious young

FRANK JAMES, BoLDRsr ACT

FRANK JAMES BOLDEST ACT.
The bold outrages and dashing ad-
ventures of the western bandits led
BY Frank and Jesse james, have fur
nished many sensational Incidents,
but none equalled in startling audaci-
ty the surrender of Frank James to
the Governor Of Missouri. Charged
with hundred crimes, and with in
dictments against him in dozen
States, he must have indeed grown
weary Of the life of an outlaw before
deliberately walking into the presence
Of the Governor and principal State
Officers, including q Judge Of the
Supreme Court, and laying down the
trusty revolver which had for more
than twenty years been his best
friend. The act was, however, in
keeping with the nerve and audacity
which have made the names of Frank
and Jesse James world-famous.
Trained from boyhood in the vengeful
feuds and fierce guerrilla warfare of
the Kansas-M Missouri border, their
subsequent course Of defiance to Law
in half the States of the Union, was
brilliant and successful beyond any
thing that history records. The story
Of Rob Roy and Robin Hood become
dull and prosy by comparison with
the record Of their dashing raids and
marvellous escapes. The announce
ment Of q timely, complete and au-
thentic history of these extraordinary
men, by Hon. j. A. Dacus, Pb. D.,
the wsll-known st. Louis journalist
and member of the Missouri Legisla-
ture, will be received with eager
curiosity. DR.. Dacns spent two years
in collecting and verifying the facts,
and passed many weeks at the home
Of the James boys in western Mis-
souri,, where he obtained the coofi-
dence of their family and friends,
and thus got many facts inaccessible
to others. The history is brought
down to date, including the death Of
Jesse and the surrender of Frank
james. 1t is written in digoi6sd yet
yet graphic style, and besides
is richly embsllished with 20 engrav-
ings, giving accurate portraits Of the
outlaws, their comrades their child
rem born in outlawry, and other men,
bers Of their families, the Ford boys,
etc. The book is sold by subscrip-
ton, and is said to be a genuine
bonanza to agents. It is published BY
N. D. Thompson & Co., Of New York
and St. Louis. Their announcement
will be found in another columns
