ism to nose around our waste basket for the
rescue OF the GLOBE REPUBLICS rejected com
munications2 We know better. The c.
Gs. Springfield man is away above that sor,
of thing.
The facts seem 10 be that Mr.. McDougsll
has sent us this letter; that it has either mis-
carried or been mislad here; that he has con-
cluded that we must have waste-basketcd il /;
and that he has reproduced it from memory
for the G. G.. and imputed to us motives for
rejecting ii from the CIR.
We discover nothing in the letter that
should justify any journal in declining it for
reasons imputed to the GLOBE REPUBLIC. We
certainly have "a tenderness of disposition
toward the gentleman whom the apocryphsl
Springfield correspondent OF the CONNER
cial Gazette styles "the fiery and thirsty
champion Of the probibtionsts; J" but we can
gee no harm in telling the harmless truth
about him in the mild manner in which
Thomas McDougall puts it in this letter. Mr.
McDougsll treats Mr.. Leonard ss II gentleman
but as a candidate o. a hostile party; aud Sc
we shall treat him. His private acts as illus
trstve OF his public professions are legitmat,
subjects of public comment.
If Mr.. McDougall should ever take
notion to write us again, we hope his lette
will have better luck than this one.

Society makes the laws. This is a simple
fact that is too often lost sight Of, and we
attempt to place the responsibility some W here
else. Local influences largely form public
opinion and that is law, whether it be en-
acted or not. Legislative enactments with
out the endorsement of public approval are
dead letter, and on the other hand public
opinion, without the sanction of legislative
authority, is recognized as binding. 1t is
first necessary to mould public opinion, then
the aw-making process is easy and simple.

IL is a curious fact that there have been no

asked friend, who is pretty well posted
in postofiice matters in this city, about the
chance for a change in the Springfield Of.
fee.
"The facts Of the late investigation are
ust these said he. "Some changes which
Postmaster Johnson made in the clerkships,
in the Office stirred up the wrath of certain
individuals, and there was an industrious
raking up of charges against him from all
sources. These charges were forwarded to
washington, and the result was that two
special examiners from the postal depart
tnent were dispatched, post haste, to
Springfield to see what was the matter One
OF the examiners WAS a democrat, and the
other republican. They were in
Springfield two days before Post
master johnson knew anything of
their presence. They skrmished around
privately, hunting up information on the
charges, and finally pu, in an appearance a,
the office. Here they were cjurteously re-
ceived by Mr.. Johnson and the whole Office
thrown open for their inspection. They
made minute examination of the entire
office, and found that the accounts Tailed to
the last cent, and that the Office was one OF
the most shipshape and best conducted IN
Ohio. One of the charges had been that the
postmaster had been discourteous to Mr.. Fin
ley Thomas. This charge was supported by
somebody's affidavit The examiners went to
see Mr.. Thomas, and both Finley Thomas and
his father received the information that such
charge had been made with surprise, and
said thst there was nothing whatever to give
rise to such a story. Other charges preferred
were found to be of a like trivial character.
The inspectors left without being able to
make an adverse report in the slightest par
ticular Or course there will be other at
tempts by democrats to secure Mr.. Johnson's
removal, but do not think they will be sue
cesstul The offensive partisan" dodge will
be worked for all there is iu it, and demo-
crat who IS pretty near the throne tells me
that new charges are being collected If
civil service rules are enforced Uncle Jimmy
will have the postoffce for many years to
come"

Springfield will soon take a new step
towards metropolitanism. A small stock ex-
change, or more familiarly, bucket shop, is
soon to be opened in this city. The concern
will be located either in the Arcade block
or else in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the Lagonda House. The telegraphic
reports of the stock exchange will be received
for the benefit of those who desire to speculate
on the Chicago grain market. Only few
months ago buckle, shop was n operation IN
the Arcade, which did land Office business.
1t became a passion to many business men to
run into the bucket shop occasionally, and
try their hand on grain margins. There were
some handsome gains, of course, but more
than one business man was almost ruined by
heavy losses. One merchant actually lost
$1,000 within the space Of few weeks, while
a number lost almost as heavily. In a few
weeks we will probably be entertained by the
believing of TIL bulls and the snarling OF the
bears. Whatever may be snid of speculation
and its evils, there can be no doubt that il
gives life and tone to the business world,
that nothing else will.

The grocers and tea dealers, and the whole
sale grocers and jobbers of Baltimore, have
formed two associations to prevent the cutting
of prices>of sugar below profitable rates. The
Association for the first two named, has al
ready fixed prices of the different grades from
s. to cents pound. This, it is said allows
a profit of half cent pound. The jobbers
and wholesale men want a profit of one quar-
ter cent pound on their sugar, and also to
arrange with their customers so that the Bal
timore wholesale price will always be a quar-
ter cent ahead of New York prices The re-
tailers, on the other hand, claim that an
eighth of cent pound profit to the whole
sale dealer is equivalent to half cent plofit
to the grocer, as the former, they claim, sells
in large unbroken lots, while the retailer sells
by the small quantity, and then has to run
the risk of bad bills.
