The "Milch Cow Racket. "

Chicago T ibune.
During his wanderings through the yards
Yesterday the reporter stumbled onto an
other little scheme which it was thought
was exterminated few months ago, but
while there are suckers" in the world
scalpers and other not over scrupulous
persons do rushing business" The
"milch COW racket" is the term used by
those who are posted, and from the profits
derived therefrOm the racket is profitable
one. Mich cows are always in demand
and the prices approximate sixty dollars
When the demand exceeds the supply the
'scalper," i'm order TO accommodate" the
customer, goes to some remote pen and
purchases q COW, C. led ''stripper"-that
is one whose DAYS of usefulness as mixer
are over A calf few days old is then
purchased for few dollars and tied in q
pen along with the COW, which is supposed
To be It's mother. The customer soon makes
his appearance and trade is effected-the
purchaser takes the oogus COW and cali
and the accommodating "scalper" the
sixty dollars. The trick is soon found ont
and the buyer makes a strenuous com
pla mt, but there is no remedy, and he has
to accept the Inevitable. The trick was
practiced yesterday and came to the sur
face shortly afterwards. The buyer on
this occasion made an unusually strong
break, which was subsequently settled by a
compr onise.

ABOUT BRADLEY.


Sundays BAzOo gave long account,
gathered from Captain Stephens, of Iowa
City, Iowa, concerning the criminal career
of one q. w. Bradley, who was arrested
and lodged in Jail here, to await the ar
rival of officers from Iowa, where he was
wanted for the crime OF stealing a pair OF
fine horses and a spring wagon, and also
for seduction.
Bradley protested his innocence, saving
that while he bore the same name vi the
Iowa criminal, that he was not the same
man that he had committed no crime and
that it was clear case OF mistaken iden,i-
ty Neither the officers who made the ar
rest nor the one who came from Iowa, had
ever seen Bradley and, consequently, were
unable to swear that he was the man, but
they avowed that the chain Of evidence
was too strong TO allow Of any mistake
and he was duly started to the Hawkeye

True Blue Tennsssseans Rallying
to Bate.
plans of the BO1ters and Their
Backers.

Correspondence Of the Courier Journal.
COLUMBIA, TENN, June A.-The
simon. pure Democrats in the neck OF
woods are for Bate without an excep-
ton. They do not like the platform
to any alarming extent, but they know
that the Governor is not the party to
settle the debt, but the Legislature,
and they know also that Bate is q
good man and a good Democrat, and
they mean to vote for him solid, and
BY a large majority. You can rely on
this and bet on it.
Bat the boilers, under the lead OF
Colonel Bailey, of GAINESVILLE, are
railroad men, capitalists ndsoreheads,
who are after Governor Harris seat
in the Senate, which they expect to
get BY electing six or eight "lndepen-
dents" to the Legislature, these to act
with the Republicans to elect Colonel
Bailey. The railroads own halt the
newspapers of Tennessee, and will put
a hundred thousand dollars up to elect
Hawkins and Bailey. 1t is a fight
between the people and the monopo-
lists, the Democrats, the Republicans
and the railroaders. But the end Of
it will show a revolution unexpected
and unparalleled in the annals OF Ten
nessee politics. for the people are
aroused and in earnest, and they will
not be deceived with chat and such
like; no, not by a jugful.
The noble, disinterested, high
minded, truly Democratic stand taken
by the Courier j Journal on the side OF
the people and the party is duly ap
preciated by all in this vicinity. We
thank you, Mr.. Editor. You are right.
It is Just Hobson's choice between a
mustang and a mule, sixty cents and
fifty cents, and as far as the debt is
concerned both sides are dishonest.
That is the blessed truth, and no true
Democrat can hesitate. There are
other things than the debt. 1t is
only one of many. Hawkins is as
much a repudiator as Savage, and a
DISTINGUISHING Republican, while Bate
is an honest, good man. At least this
is the universal view of the people of
old Maury.

veftising, the fest being made up from
subscription and sales ofpapers. Fifty
four thousand persons were employed
during the year in the manufacture of
newspapers, and $1,000 in an editorial
capacity. The wages paid to these
persons amounted to $2S,000,O00, H.
linois alone paying for this purpose
nearly $3,000,00O.
The curious facts about the neWspa-
per business are: First, the rapid in
crease in circulation during the decade;
and second, the large number of papers
that die after brief existence. Dur
ing the ten years, the increase in our
population was 30 per cent, while the
increase in newspaper circulation was
46.16 per cent. This Increase was at.
tended by rapid multiplication Of the
number of newspapers, the tables
showing that the increase between
1870 and 1880 was something over "a
per cent. During the census year,
ITO new journals of one kind and an
other were started, while during the
same period 9O5 suspended net
increase for that year of only 2 per
cent, though the increase, as before
stated, for the decade, was 81 per
cent. The large number of suspen-
sions during the year shows that the
business was being overdone, and the
natural penalty followed.
One of the surprises of the newspa-
per tables is the exhibition made of
the circulation of newspapers In the
various cities of the country. The
eleven cities standing first in circula-
ton are New York, Chicago, Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati,
Indianapolis, st. Paul, San Francisco,
Pittsburg and Springfield, Mass, and
the average circulation of the newspa-
pers in those cities, taken as whole,
is but eleven thousand copies each. |
When it is remembered that included
in this average are papers like the |
Herald and Sun, of New York,
some idea can be gained of the |
paucity, Of the circulation of many |
Of the papers publishedin these cities. |
There are, of course, other newspapers
besides those mentioned having fair |
and even larger circulation, but it is
clear that most of them issue but a
meager number of copies, aud that
little dependence can be placed on the
empty and unsupported boasts of pub
fishers, who take good care that the
real circulation Of their journal shall
never be known by those most inter,
ested in obtaining the truth. For the
rest tho census shows that journalism
N this country is in a healthy condi
ton, and that it is fast approaching
the time when it can truthfully claim
equality with, if not superiority to, any
newspaper OF the world.
