We clip the following items from
the Leader:
Ed Conley has traded his property
in this city-the Commercial Hotel
to John Lowe for 800 acres of land
nine miles southeast of here.
Rosenberg & Co. packed the rem
nant of their goods left from the fire,
on Monday, and on Tuesday Leon
Marx started with them to Kirwin,

that place his future home.

satisfactory manner.

Editorial Philosophy.

Judge Klnne, of the Des Moines
Leader PHILOSOPHERS thus:
Accustomed all their lives to fight
ing the battles of others and receiv-
ing only the politicians word of prom
Use, to be broken as a hollow sound
ing reed, editors are not apt to be
cast down or seriously put out by the
shape adalrs may take after the VIC
tory is won.
Editor Swain INDUCES in a similar
philosOphic strain and says:
The work of an editor in party har-
ness is found in the fitting of men for
public station. Some reflect credit
on the workers, but the majority of
the editors find the creatures thus
made, very early turn on them, and,
if possible, betray them or their in
terests on the first occasion. The
more fellows an editor has out, whose
clay he has helped to put up, the
more certain he is of enemies and of
men ready to assume the role of Jul
das without even the excuse of the
thirty pieces. Editors are for work
and talk taffy-not to sit with the
elect in the Sanhedrim.

prohibition the Only Method"

ErOn1p1blOu the Only Method.
The battle for prohibition is bound
to go on until triumph is achieved
It is not a question of religion, nor of
personal liberty, nor of regulating
peoples food and drink" nor any
thing else but a plain matter of using
legislation for the greatest good to
the greatest number. There is no
reason why alcohol in any form
should be used as a beverage. The
latest testimony of science is that it is
a poison, pure and simple, that its ef-
feet upon the human system is al
ways harmful, and that the degree of
harm is in direct proportion to the
amount imb1bed and the frequency
with which It is taken. All the pleas
for rum in any form-for wine, for ale
or beer, for whisky, brandy, gin or
any other are simply to cover the
desire to get alcohol into the system +;
for alcohol is the constituent that
causes Drunkenness and all other
harm to the body, and if the alcohol
in any form of rum were taken out;
no man could be hired to swallow
the slop that would remain. All
these pleas are but part of the effort
of the rum power to maintain its sell
fish hold upon mankind. There is
but one way to abolish the saloon and
to save the people from drunkenness
and its brood Of vice and CRIME, and
that is tostop the manufacture and
sale Of rum sand prohibition is the
only method whereby we can do this
and also pulverize the rum power

a bill restricting the ownership of real

The law passed by the legislature
this winter, which requires the sigma
lures and. joint consent Of husband
and wife to make valid chattel mort
gage on personal property exempt by
law to the heads of families, is a very
wise enactment and IS just as neces-
sary as that law which requires the
joint consent to a mortgage on
homestead. The last COW, and often
the last hoof on the place, IS taken
away under the present law by the
heartless holder of chattel mort
gage, when the property would not
be pledged at all If the wifes sigma

People who think that an adver-
tisement of three months standing is
going to make them rich make a mis-
take. Advertising is like eating. IF
you want to be healthy you must eat
regularly, as meat to-day will not
serve you for meat tomorrow. To be
well and hearty, eat at every meal
time; to be prosperous in business,
advertise regularly. Stop the one,
and you starve and die. Stop the
other, and your business takes con
sumption and dies also. Spasmodic
advertising is like having a ''feast and
famine''-more famine than feast as
a rule-and is never satisfactory To
take out your card in hard times is
like killing your horse because he is
little lame. It is in dull times the
most advertising should be done, and
1t is In dull times that advertising is
the most effective, as more attention
is then taken of printers ink than at
any other tlme.-EC.

Elk. CONGRESSMAN YosT.-Ex- Congress-
man Jacob Yost, of Virginia, has been ca,
gerly looked for in this city for the past two
days, but the young man is thought to have
gone straight home from Deer Park, where
the President is reported to have denied
him an interview. Nearly every one is in
terested in knowing just why the exCon-
gresham could not get an audience. The
presumption is that Mr.. Yost, not being a
follower of Malone any longer, the latter's
influence may have had something to do
with the refusal to see him on the part of
President Harrison. 1t may be that this
was not the case, but Mr.. Yost, il he knows
what the cause was, owes it to himself and
to an anxious public to give in his own
paper, the ValLey Virginian an account of
his recent pilgrimage to Deer Park. =

A writer in the New York Evangelist Wis
ting Lexington, quotes Prof. White, OF
Washington and Lee University, in refer
ence to Stonewall jackson as follows
"There has been some disposition even
among Southern writer's to caricature jack
son as a man, in the effort to place jackson,
the soldier, in bold relief. 4 certain blunt,
curt, and reticent habit, which marked the
soldier, has been thought to characterize
him in social intercourse. Such was not the
case. met him very often in society, and
do not hesitate to say that he was modest,
genial, courteous, and notably polite to ev-
cry one. He was not graceful in figure or
in movement, but in spirit was highly So.
He had a peculiarly gentle expression OF
countenance, and moved easily in social
scene, making it point to speak, at least
for few minutes, to every lady present,
with no appearance Of constralnt or embar-
rassment, and. had smile and pleasant
word for every acquaintance. His whole
manner was so gentle and unobtrusive, his
punctilious regard for the feelings of others
so invariable, his unselfishness so striking,
that if his reputation in the Mexican war
had not been known, do not think the
rough soldier would have been thought OF
in connection with him. My friends of both
sexes concur with me in these views"

THE PRESIDENTS PRoMIsEs.-A great
many people in this country believe in the
civil-service law. And in order to catch
the vote of the friends of civil service reform
Bepjaman Harrison, before his election,
harped upon the beauties of the law and
pledged his hearty support of the law.
A glance at the list of appointments made
from day to day shows how the President
fails to keep his pledge. The spoilsmen,
the corrupt politicians, and the Republican
plunderers have got their grip on the Pres
ident and they are running the Admins
tration in the interest of the Doodle ring.
During r. B. Hayes's Administration
the Star Route thieves made way with over
81, 900, 900 and the Navy ring and the whis-
key thieves, from the close of the war to
the Inauguration of Cleveland, robbed the
Government of untold millions-enough to
have paved Pennsylvania avenue with gold.
And from the present outlook President
Harrison is going to place his Administra.
ton high up on the corruption list.
Cleveland was vig'lant and fearless as
we'll as able and honest. The country al.
ready prays earnestly for the return of hon.
