The Downton patent on the roller
process of making -four, which has
created q great deal of u~neasiness
among millers all over the country has
been declared void for want of novelty,
as the process is an old one:

This bit of journalistic wisdom is
going the rounds: "Newspapers have
their friends, and also their enemies.
That paper whose editor strives to be
truthful and faithful to his party and
.hisJriends-whO stands up in season.
and out of season for his home people,
according to the light that is given him
will win and prosper; while the
editor who seeks to toady or deceive.
and is aver ready to let truth and JUSTICE
slide for the sake ofhis own personal
comfort or gain, will get left in the
long run.H
(. The politicians, who imagine that the
tariff question can be lodged or post
pened until after the next presidential
election are reckoning without thei'
host. Issues do not always wait to be
ma lie !; they exist. and comre attention.
And the Phi adelphia Recor'' is entire
Jy right in saving, that t'until there Is a
measure OF tax reduction in this coun-
try sufficient to restore an approximate
equality between the needs and the
means of the government, the revision
Of the tariff will be a standing and i'm
,perative matter for the consideration OF
every succeeding congress-" The peo-
pie, it adds, can get along for the next
term with a republican or a democrat
in the white house, but they can't get
along without tax reduction, and they
don't intend to try.
The Jefferson City Tribune has this
to say:-"It is reported that the people
of Lafayette county are after Mr. Thos.
r. Skinker, the supreme court repor-
ter, and will petition the supreme court
to remove him. They charge him with
being instrumental in having the La
fayette county judges imprisoned by
the order. of the q. s. district court,
and that he had a hand in the imprison-
ment Of the Cass county judges, and
also that he was responsible for defeat
ing a proposed compromise, of Lafay-
cite county bonds. We do not know
anything about the matter, but if Mr..
Skinker is thus engaged in h%arrassing
the people of this state with suits in the
U. S. courts, he should have the de-
cency to resign a position, the salary of
which is paid out of the taxes collected
from these same people,"
