a REFoRM,-a constitutional one,
is being agitated by the rural
press of this State. Old laws and
old customs were just what the peo-
pie needed when they were adopted,
and the people were satisfied with
them. As time hurries along
changes are made, old laws become
antiquated, and a change become
necessary for the working of good
government; old customs are laid
aside and news are adopted. The,
is all true. The Stf what is worth On

WE DO not wish any one of our
readers to think that we encourage
the sale of oleomargarine We do
not want the article in the market
if possible, but as it has beenaround
several years under an assumed
name. and we have all eaten it,
more or less, it is well to speak well
of taxing it, and being sold as oleo-
margarine. 1t is not injurious, and
no one is forced to buy. 1t is, We
think, preferable to rancid butter
and the people will soon find GU
the fact

On last Sunday we visited the
camp meeting in Civil Bend The
services are well attended and the
best Of order prevails. The people
Of the Bend appreciate the meetings
and are disposed to get good out Of
them. Several people have been
converted and many Others are deep
~ interested. We thought that per-
haps the people of many privileges
do not appreciate them.
In conversation with Hon. Isaac
Moore, we learned something of the
volume of business he is transacting,
Mr.. Moore has sawed 100000 feet of
cottonwood lumber since establish
ing his mill in its present location,
and has 200, 900 feet of logs to saw.
This will clean up the lumber bust
ness. He keeps seven hired men,
has 100 acres of heavy corn, is fat
tening two cars of heavy cattle, ETC.,
so there is no lack Of business. Mr..
Moore's aged father is with him and
has now reached his four score years
and is very feeble. Father Moore is
a man of mighty frame, and strange
to say has been a sufferer from
chronic diarrhma for over 40 years,
yet no complaining. When we
were informed of this fact, our MEM
DRY at once called up the ungener-
Gus and unchivalric words of the
President when he stated in a veto
that the beneficiary has flourished
for twenty-four years with this dis
ease. The desire of every true
American should be to respect the
chief magistrate of the nation, but
such low filings are mighty obstacles
in the way. All through the coun-
try which we passed, cora is i'm
mense, except narrow strip where
the water passed oyer, just below
Kiplinger's. Donovan has splen-
herd OF fat cattle. We passed Mo-
sier's country seat, standing in the
edge Of the grove looking, if you
please, ike unto great white swan,
1 with 4 background Of dark green
tho contrast very pleasing to the eye

Resting lazily across the way was a
fine herd of mammoth steers, and
the great turkeys strutting about.
Oceans Of hay everywhere. Antho-
ny Summey has some potatoes that,
to use slang phrase, are the dad
dy of 'em all''; and Tucker squash
es beat everything. Father Pond is
running two evaporators in the sor-
ghum business and showed us some
of the products clear as amber. AT
the saw mill west of town business
is lively. Five new houses have
been built for the families of the
employees to live in. The logwar
is full Of new logs and the yard is
being filed. The metaphor is chang
ed. This is not only land of milk
and honey, but of cattle, hogs, corn,
sorghum, lumber, turkeys and chick
ems. The wine is the pure juice OF
the grape, and that's right.
OCCASIONAL.

 Tho following report Of the cop per market is taken from the En- sineeriug and Mining Journal of the 9th instant:
 This market is extremely strong and r cents is not only talked of Us something in the future, but it has been paid for spot Lake. Other brands are still quoted st lJl and Il cents, though Ii, her prices are talked Of in these @lso. There is 10 indication of either Ari- zoua or Montana mines going 10 work; indeed, there are signs that they will not resume for son. timo yet.
 No one Seems to be frightened by the an1ouncement in our lust issue of what the BoleJ Company will do some day. Indeed, some of tho smelters who have worked in our Western works ridicule the idea that E25 per ton will cover the cost of Boleo bars III England. Neither is any one alarmed at the mountain of copper" near Sud bary, Ontario, the orc already shipped hom which has been far below expectations in grade.
