What Is Respectable Society

We heard q man, othcwise iutelii-
gent enough, lately sneer at another
"hecause.n said he, "one never meets
him in respectable society," The
speaker did not mean, however, that
the person he affected to look down
upon was immoral, but merely that
bis circle ofntinates were not COM
posed of the fashionable aud rioh
This nodoa Of what constitutes
respectable society is quite favor
ife one with a class Of individuals
whom Thackory has SO significantly
called "snobs.' Empty prctense al
ways makes its cwn characteristics
a standard by which it strives to
measure the respeetahility Of per
sons ct large. In a community o.
mere money-getters, wealth is the
test of respoetability Among the
proud, nmfow-minded, eifete nobili-
ty Of the Fautorg st, Germain re-
speetahility depends upon being de-
scenaants from ancestors who have
fsarried their cousins for so many
centuries that neither muscles nor
brains are left any longer to degen,

tered condition Of Che ch@neI It's
the old, old story; ifit is not one
thing its another. Nothing is right
on the old stream. Whenever a pi-
| lot hits q bar OH the east bank the
bar was on the wrong side of the
river, and vice versa. In the sum
mer of 1881 1t was the buffalo that
impeded navigation. They blocka-
| ded the river above Fort Peck to
such an extent as to make life
burden to the pilots and captains
and mates. 1t was dry season,

the interior ranges, and in that year
. there were vast herds Of buffalo on
the upper Missouri river where
/ thce is now uot a single one. They

they got into the river in such quan-

The Petersburg Troubles.

In the Hastings Court Of Petersburg on
Monday the bill of exceptions fled by coun-,
sci for Eirginius Johnson lDemocrat). city
treasurer, who contests the election of z.
W. Couch (Rcadjustcrl treasurer elect, who
was qualified by Judge Mann Saturday night
was refused by the court. The Court stated
that in his opinion. the proper remedy for
Johnson was by writ of quo warranto or
mandamus, not by a writ of error. After
the refusal Of the court to receive the bill of
exceptions, the rcadjuster finance committee
made formal demand on Mr. Johnson fol
the papers and all other appurtenances to
the office of city treasurer Johnson rcfus-
ed to accede to the demand until Couch's
bond should have been approved by the
City Council which was done at the night
meeting Couch will not recognize war
rants for any moneys issued by the auditor
elected by the outgoing council This de-
termination on his part renders it doubtful
as to the officers elected by the outgoing
council receiving any pay. A noticeable
feature of the Council meeting was the alb
sencc of all Democratic members who, not
recognizing the present council as legally
organized body, re haned away. T.J Jar
rett, readjuster ma or elect, says that he
will not qualify till the 25th of this month.
This determination on his part gives the
ctya Democratic mayor until that time
