Under Republican administrations
horses and carriages were purchased
with the peoples money, and kept at
public expense, tor the use of the
leading officials of the departments.
The Treasury Department, for in
stance, had a half dozen horses and
as many carriages, and the Interior
Department was almost as we'll sup
piled. 1t was somewhat of sur
prise, of course, when the horses and
carriages were ordered to be sold and
the money turned into the treasury.

NO POETRY IN A MAIDEN'S LOVE.

From Lecture by Pastor Hammond
1t was diyinely announced in the
early history of the world that XII
was not good for man to be alone, y
and the announcement has received
the almost universal Endorsement OF
our race, especially the male portion
of the race. 1t may be that some are
discouraged by frequent failures
that is, those who failed to marry
those they wished. To the male sex
this would seem to apply, as it is sup
posed that the men only do the court
ing. But a.close observer will some
times admit that the ladies take part
in it. | once heard of a party who
asked a lady of over three score years
how old a lady would become before
she would relinquish the idea of mar
riage, and the answer was, Only son,
go ask some one older than l." PEG
pie will marry. 1t is necessary that
they should. But they should love
first. Those who write of love gem
orally treat the SUBJECT with too much
levity, and associate it with soft
glances, moonlight walks and poetry.
Love and poetry go hand in hand
sometimes, but poetry is generally
left-left away in the background.
The young man, when he first gets in
love, is a poet in his own conceit.
The girl does not get that way. She
has practical idea of love, and
whether or not she reciprocates the
passion of the young fellow who is
letting out his soul to her, she will
knock all the poetry out of him on
the first round.

WHAT THE SOUTH WANTS.

Artisan: The South wants bust
ness prosperity not political agitation
Our people want factories, furnaces
and railways and schools; we want a
literally diversified and prosperous
industry; we want to undersell the
Northern iron-makers in their own
market, we want to spin our own cot
ton and keep at home the hundreds
of millions we pay annually to North
ern furnaces. We are just begin
ming to appreciate the fact that we
have every advantage over the North
in economy of production. Our eli
mate alone would make Yankee in
genuity and energy outstrip the
North in every industry logically
competing with us, and we are wisely
getting enough Yankee into us to
call a halt to our servitude to North
ern industry.

talks about the Sunday School work in the
west.
A great deal Of interest and spirit were
unaffected during the gathering. and the
members of the Canon church We'd with each
other TO make all things agreeable.
One of the strong points during the ses-
sion uss the passing Of = resolution concern
ing prohibition. The event will be marked
in the history of its work as body.
On Friday the association in body visited
the State prison, taking in all its important
phases, and on Sunday the morning services
were held in the prison chapel, the couvicts
making the greater part of the congregation.

From the Rcvicw.press Of the i.th,
Their wtrc some papers filed in the Dis
uict Court this morning in this county which
by reason Of the many things they anticipate
are of great importance and of interest 10 all
Gannison county people. /, ~as al apple. :
ton Tor mn injunction forbidding the Com.
mi.sioners to hold special meeting to issue
warrants upon which TO raise money to pay
the interest on the bonded debt, which inter
cs, falls due September first.
1t appear. that word got out last evening
that Commissioners Steele and Bebel would
hold a meeting this morning to issue suif.
cicnt warrants to raise 1850 cash due as
the scmi.annuai interest on the bonded debt
of sise, 900. The law provides that money
for such purposes shalt be raised by n levy
and the collection of the tax. To raise the
money In the manner proposed il would have
required. at the present value of county war
rants, the issuance of fully 10000 in war
rants. Interest on this $4,000 each year
would be $4,000. Thus il is apparent that
tn pay the little debt Of $3.50 interest the
county's debt would be increased 100000,
and s.. 900 year interest. Just how long n
county eau afford to pay debts on that basis
requires no very profound fnsncicr to de
tnmnr.
In the absence Of the District judge.
County Judge Colborn was applied to for an
injunction restraining the County Commis-
sioncrs from meeting for such II purpose.
This is regarded Ms the first step toward in
qulring into the legality of the county in
debtcdncss. This move dos not directly
bring up the que.tion, hut it will follow.
1t was noticed that almost every man one
met on the street, without regard to politics,
heartily recommend the move. We under
stand Mr.. Bebel was complaining over the
matter. but Mr.. Steele thought II good
move. and the injunction relieved him in the
matter. lie did not think the injunction
would he fought at all hswevcr, some an.
swer will he made. Commissioner Freeman
