The In~telligercer hiss 6.eivei tbs
following letter. dated November IS.
from Dr.. 1. G. w Steedman president Of
the Missouri Fish Comm ssion, residing
at St. Louis. which will be OF interest
to lis readers:-'I am happy to tell you
that we are now draining our carp
ponds in Forest Park. We have COM
pleted the drainage OF numbers n and
two. In number n We found our
brood carp in good condition, aver
aging in weight from 4 to 10 pounds,
fat and in fine condition; also about
1000 young carp of this years spawn.
Ing, from three to Elk inches long. also
tat and fiue. In number two we found
brood fish equally good and larger
some of them IL pounds. but found only
1,500 young carp IN the three-and.a-
halt acres, and we got tadpolss. catfish,
minnows, Sc by the three barrels at
each haul of the seine. We lost no fish
by overflow, but the carp eggs were
evidently destroyed IN this pond by the
catfish, SC. We have three ponds yet
to drain. Hope to get 1000 more. VIZ
have enough to supply all applications
now on file. Two of the new spawning
ponds are completed and one filled with
good water. We have placed 300 brood
carp in it for the winter. These ponds
have cost more money than We estimat-
ed. am building as economically AZ
possible. Weather has been bad for
economical work" This communication
contains much that is encouraging to
the culture OF carp in Missouri. and
of instruction in the hint of
tho destructiveness to carp spawn OF
tadpeles. catfish, SO. The commission
receives no pay. but is as active in its
work as it it were literally remunerated,
and we are glad to know that their
labors are beginning to be appreciated.
As things are now going 1t will be but
a few years before our farmers will BE-
rs plentifully supplied with fine food
fishes a they now are with bacon, which
not only add a pleasant variety to
their tables. but be a matter of genuine
benefit to health.

ISLANDER AS A POLITICAL INSTRU
MENT.

The Thalbote, OF this week, says =
"Ihe Lexington Intelllgencer. in its
last issue, says in reference to the vote
Cast for Alex. Graves and j. T. Crisp
at the last election In this county all
the negroes and the Concordia Germans
voted for Crlsp.' TIE paper intended
to say. negroes and ignorant people.
Yes, as long as the Germans can be
used as voting cattle, and vote tor the
gentlemen OF the courthouse, pay their
taxes promptly. and then submit to be
told that none OF them is qualified to fill
a county Office, so long The Germans
are welcome. Bat the Germans OF
Concordla have proven. on the 9TH OF
November, that they will net submit to
the drawing of a ring through their
nOses.'"
With all due difference to the truth
full and liberal Thalbote, does it not
think that it makes more persistent
efforts than does anyone else to put a
ring In the noses OF The Concordia Ger
mans, to use them as voting cattle,
aud to lead them around at its own
sweet will? For instance. who has
taken such questionable g TO do
misrepresentation of political oppo-
nentsP
Que OF its roorbacks is sneakingly
put forward in the paragraph we quote
above, where it is falsely iniimated that
democrats in this county say that no
German is qualified to fill a county
office. We elsewhere expose how this
ialsehood was coined and printed, and
we should like to know by what author
1ty the Thalbote asserts We ''intended"
to cay things which we did not say. Tho
In%telligencer did say, 'sln this county
the negroes and the Concordia Ger
mans voted pretty solidiy for Col.
Crisp" This Is undenlably true. and
it Is no fault of ours if the Concordia
Germans choose TO ally themselves ir-
revocably with the negro element in
the county, which is influenced in cleo.
tons by the same sort OF demagoglcal
t%lciions that have been used by the
republican Bourbon newspaper at Con-
cordia. A Bourbon, the enlightened
Thalbote may observe, is n who never
learns or iorgets.
The Germans at Concordia wore told
that Mr.. Mountjoy said no Germans
were given Office in Lafayette county
because they were incapable of fulfilling
the du,les Of a county Office, and the
negroes were told not to vote for Mr..
Graves because. il elected. he would do
away with the colored schools in the
district. 1t is not the Intelligencer
which insults the intelligence of the
Germans at Concordta or the negroes
OF tie county. but i, is the miscreants
who drag politics into the mud and
mire by coming such stories as these
who do so. That they we're used is a
matter of public uotoriety. We do not
envy the people who set them on foot,
matter how great their success may
have been in winning votes by such
m ans.

TIE lntell,gencer has said that Cieve

has the tact t., keep the democratic FAC.
tons together in his own state, no pow
or on earth can defeat his nomination
by the democrats for the presidency III
1884, and nothing. not money. patron
age, the hundred thousand federal
Office holders, or any other influence,
Can defeat his election. The democrats
have but to be wise to win. If they
will elect Carlisle speaker, make Morri.
sou chairman of the committee on ways
and means, and Sam. Randall chairman
of the committee on appropriations,
lower the taxes, aud reduce the tariff
to a evenu basis their star will be in
the ascendancy.
The Archbishop Of Quebec commands
the priests in his diocese to refuse the
sacrament to all persons subscribing to
or reading the Courier DIES Etats-
Uhas. This seems to us a ridiculous
proceeding. The Courier is q very
respectable newspaper printed in
French in New York city, and even If it
does not subscribe to all OF the very
reverend gentleman's views. it ia a lit.
tie hard on his people to refuse them
the rites of the christian church to
which they belong because they choose
to read it. Priestly interference OF this
kind appears to Us more calculated to
bring religion into disrepute than to
advance the cause OF Christ.
