JIM ODHNINGs.

The St. Louis G be- Democrat seems
to have a monopoly of the correspondence
Of Col. jim Cummings. To q person
Louis papers the idea naturally suggests
Itself that Jim Cummings" will In time
turn up, and when he does il will be found
that he 10 part. at least, is one Of the regu.
lar stsf Of the Globe Democrat. At least,
that is what the NEWS predicts. We
have known of much stranger tricks than
this by s.. Louis papers. We remember
distinctly when the st. Louis Globe was
siArted-before the consolIdat alton with the
Democrat-that it had sort of grapevine
method of getting the Associate Press
dispatches. Il hired a telegraph operator
70 take an extra duplicate copy and place
it under q brick in the sidewalk, where q
Globe employe would find It and take It to
the compc sing room. At another time q
committee from the state legislature was
holding q very secret session at the Lin
dell hotel, on what subject we forget, but
one which excited much interest In the
Mound City. Each member OF the COM
mittee was sworn to secrecy, and the SEES
sions were held und~r lock and key.
Strange to say, full report of the entire
doings of the committee appeared
in one of the daily papers. and at the next
days meeting the charge was made that
one Of the members had betrayed his trust
and broken his word, etc. But. stranger
still, all this, in connection with the
rest OF the doings of the committee, ap-
peared In the same paper of the next day
and the days following. To cut the story
short, q reporter of the paper alluded TO
had rented q room next to the one occu-
pied by the committee, bored q small hole
through the partition wall, anc, with his
ear glued to the hole and q note
book In hand, took down
in short hand the entire proceedings YER
batim ct literatum. Now, we think 1t
would be about an even wager to- bet that
Joe Mccullough can put his hands on
"Jim Cummings" just when he chooses
to do so, and We should not be q bit sur
prised to learn that his real name Is
''Johnnie Jennings," if John is in that
burg at present.

AT Its session in Chicago on Tuesday
last the National Butter, Cheese and Egg
association adopted report recommend
ing that every state pass law prohibiting
the manufacture and sale Of oleomGrgarine,
but 1t Indignantly refused to recommend
that the mixing or aduleration of diary
products be declared illegal. In other
words the association wants the states to do
what they cannot and ought not to do, and
it doesn't want them to do what they can
and ought to do. There is no dishonesty
in the manufacture and sale Of oleomar-
garlne under its proper name, while there
Is much dishonesty in the adulteration OF
dairy butter; yet the ASSOCIATION condemns
the honest practice and approves of the
dishonest one. The association under
stands 1t own interests, but it is evidently
poorly posted in morals and constitutional
law.

LAST Sunday was very quiet day at

men employed at the gas works. on the

AT the meeting Of the New York and

churches at Plymouth church, last week
Rev. William Lloyd of New York made
an address. in which he suggested that II
would be much better TO give sacred con-
oerts In the churches on Sunday nights
than to attempt to ediiy people with dull
sermons. The suggestion was spplAuded.
The question naturally arises, which Of
these ministers that applauded the idea
would be willing to acknowledge that his
sermons were dull.
