HOMESTEAD ALIENABLE.--fna q re-
cent case carried up from Fairfield
the State. Supreme Court decided
That tho Constitution and acts thcro.
under create 70 new estate of homo-
stead, but the object of the law is
only TO protect Il certain amount OF
property, not to subject estates to
new rostrictiOns. Legislation cnn>
not divcst II man Of hia estate and
vest it in his wife and children, nor
even say that q man shall hold his
property in trust Tor his wife and
children. The right Of homestead is
a "rlp ht Of exemption, not IN estate. !"
In this case it would appear that a
homestead may be aIlenatod after
admeaauromrnt rs well ~, before.

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN CHARLOTTE.
N. I've have Just received II
private dispatch, stating thnt the
nolg hboring city of Charlotte was
rejoicing over the wonderful cure
effected on an old gentleman living
Lhcro. 1t seems thnt he had been
suffering with chronic Diarrhma or,
in other words, inflammation of the
stomach over three years. After
trying all other remedies without
avail and hoving given up al hope
OF recovery, was persuaded to try
Normrn's Ncutralizing Cordial. 1t
acted like II charm. Two botLIos did
the work. Tho party has entirely
recovered and will verify this ato'o.

After Judge Hoadley was nominated
by the Ohio democrats as their candi-
date for governor, over General Ward.
the latter was called on to speak. II
appears that the General claimed to
have done great work for the party dur
ing the past thirty years, and imagined
that the party was under obligations to
him, and so he proceeded to rebuke the
convention for failing to recognize his
claims. Exactly Not one time i'm a
hundred but these old ''war horses" as
they are pleased to be called, imagine
that their parties owe them something
and without any regard for results,
they want to be given the front seat in
every political affair: they would be
paid and repaid, and pensiOned in an
Office they could not satisfactorily fill
all on account of the many sacrifices
they have made for partyl When a
man talks of how much he has done for
his party, it is safe to put it down that
he has been a constant Office hunter;
that he has been often in office; that he
has never declined any position of profit
or trust, and that he never will as long
as he has breath enough to say yes.
They are the man who have not only
shaped tickets with their own names
for the fat places, but they are the ones
who have most generally handled the
campaign funds. They are the men
who imagine they are not appreciated
and who are always about TO withdraw

WINGED Postmaster General Gresham
that there has been much lOOseness in
the transmission of newspapers through
the mails. Numerous complaints have
been received by him to the effect that
postal employees break wrappers con-
tanning newspapers, and are Indifferent
as To whether newspapers reach their
destination. The postmaster general
says he proposes to remedy the evil if
possible, and that he will adopt meth
DDS To detect and punish cases Of negli-
gence and violations of the law and
regulations in this regard. He says he
will insist that postal employees shall
treat newspapers just as sacred as any
other packages intrusted to the mails
for safe and prompt delivery. /

There is some apprehension about a
disease that has been killing cattle in
Texas lately. The Live Stock Journal
mentions that n shipper from Colorado
City, Texas, started a hundred and
eighty head of beeves for st. Louis, and
when they arrived at Fort Worth TWEEN
ty had died and others were sick. The
owner attributed the sickness to bad
water the cattle drank from the Colora-
do river before shipment, but many
stockmen fear it is Spanish fever, which
the animals contracted by occupying
the same cars used in shipping gulf cat
tie for months without being cleaned OF
renovated.

their valuable influence from the party,
and retire to private life, where affairs
political will no longer worry them.
But observe, they never retire, until
death retires them.
These men who have done so much
for their party forget that they have
been well paid in hOnors and usually
in emoluments. They forget that in
doing so much for party the are doing
more for self. If their name adds such
strength to ticket that it is elected,
they are doing themselves as great a ia
vor as they are their party.
1t is such a common occurrence to
hear of men acting as General Ward did
on the occasion referred to, that young
politicians become disguised. No par
ty is free from these ungrateful MEM
bers, and we suppose all future gener-
atoms must endure them.

Senator Bill Hackney has the people
of Topeka down on him now In earnest.
lie severely criticized the citizens meet
ing held there two weeks ago and de-
clared that the people who took part in
the meeting were the worst kind of
criminals and should be hung or driven
out of town. 1t transpires that the cit
liens who conducted that anti-prohibi-
ton meeting were the heaviest tax-pay-
ers and most respectable class in the
capital city. Hackney appears to be
little more than a bigoted, conceited,
vulgar politician, who assumes unwar-
ranted privileges in discussing public
measures and who makes an ass Of
himself by writing letters which reflect
on the motives Of his betters. II he
were only honest in his declared opin-
ions IL would be different; but they do
say he has every vice he condemns
others for. and iswithout a redeeming
virtue.

general thing cattle are counting out
remarkably well. though i'm many plac-
es the calf crop is reported short on &C
count of the poor condition of cows

tions. Grass was never better at this

about the Santa Fe building a new line

route which now goes around the great
bend of the Arkansas. Then the ST.

headed towards the Southwest, and to
