As will be seen by a news-iteu, printed
elsewhere, the Republicans have called
another Council meeting for Tomorrow
night to make one more effort 10 get
through their precious gerrymander ordi-
nance in time for it to be of some service
to them at the approaching election. They
are in a hurry. They know that their
atrocious methods of procedure in Council
Friday night will not stand judicial test,
and they want to get beyond the reach OF
interference if possible.
That Friday night meeting was the talk
of the town yester day, and everybody at
all converssnt with the facts held that the
action of the majority was unprecedented
and outrage Gus. 1t was the general pre-
dicsion that the people would resent this
most unusual attempt TO keep Republicans
in power, when the proper time comes.

The @. &. ?. road has done a fair busi.
ness this year, but freight cent out was
not as great as during 'S7. The river has
been at good boating stage most Of the
year and this fact alone accounts for the
falling off Of the receipts of the road.
Said Agent Gus. Greenfield to the report
er: THE railroads loee considerable money
in freights when the river is navigable.
Most all the heavy shipments of steel,
iron, rails and glassware for points below
are sent by water and this year the Ohio
was satisfactory most of the year for such
shipments During 81 the reverse was
the fact and the revenues of the railroads
in this section were quite large. The
amount OF freight received here by the C..

outlook for '88 is only fair"

by Prof. VIM. Henry Peck. The scene
opens in tie manufacturing centre of Lyon s
during troublous period in her history,

tain their rights rgainst the nobility. Tee
hero, whom fate has made an humble
workman, finds opportunity for the dis
play of those self-asserting qualities which
always force their possess to the front in
every contest. While most CT the action is
thrilling and dramatic, captivating love
episode is adroitly interviewer with the
main thread of the romance. The mystery
sppsrtaining to the early life of the Lock
smith, the appalling accusation which
makes him the victim of unseen foes, his
fortitude in the most trying positions, ard
his final vindication and reward, are forcib-

Tom ueeps, n Mormon Yap.


Who worked at the Argus mill, says the
White Pine News, must be demon
from hell if the charge sworn out by
Mrs. Balm against him is true. His
crime-assault ON l6 months old child
is repugnant, inhunan and destestible,
that we hesitate to believe it, though the
facts related to us are very strong in sus'
tanning the charge. For crime so abb
horrent to human nature, with Ger
tainty Of guilt, the perpetrstor should
have met summary punishment then and
there, and hanging to the first post would
have been the proper thing. We are a
law abiding citizen and dislike to coun'
sci disobedience to the law, but when q
monster in human shape places himself
outside both human and divine laws he
should be disposed of as rattlesnake
or rabid dog. But it seems he was per-
mitted to skip out and return to the
"promised land whence he came, with
out much effort to hold him and have
him punished.
There now seems to be diversity OF
opinion in this community as to the
truth of the charge against Heeps, many
believing he is not guilty and that other
motives inspired the charge against him.
We have been requested to keep mum on
this alleged outrage. but we decline to
do so, as il is against justice and public
morality to let it go unnoticed. 1t is
indeed TO be regretted that Heeps was
not brought before Justice and the case
fully ventilated.

A Trmih well Told.

An excellent article is now going
the rounds of the press, as follows;
"The publisher of a newspaper has
one thing to sell and one thing to rent.
Can any one inform us why we should
he expected TO give away either one or
the other? lie can do so il he chooses,
and he does, as a matter of practical
fact, furnish a great deal OF space rent
free. But it does not follow that he
ought to be expected to do it. 1t
ought to be recognized as a contribu-
ton exactly as would the giving away
of sugar or coffee by the groceryman;
But strange to say it is not looked
upon in that light at all, yet every
body knows that the existence OF a
newspaper depends just as much on
the rent OF its space and the sale OF
the paper as the merchants success
depends on selling his goods instead
OF giving them away"
