"A New York policeman en-
joys the distinction of having
saved five lives. He ought to be
put on the police force of West st.
Louis and paid a large salary.
ST Louis is not tagging in
the work of securing funds for the
Worlds Fair. The Star Sayings
keeps a watchful eye on every pro-
ceeding, and the moment there is
any disposition shown to become
Indifferent, at once proceeds to stir
things up in a most lively man

We have been informed that
the fair cleared the association
about seven hundred dollars above
all expenses. This is an unusual
showing for the first year of any
fair, and beyond all expectation of
the association. The surplus
money will be expended in beautl-

Second P. S. We are in favor
of kicking all lazy or incompetent
officials out of office without inqui-
ry as to party afiiliations.-Kirks-
vile Jonrnal.
The above declaration is good as

the grass. The Monroe City dogs
made raid on the sheep one
night last week, and killed them

still goes on in the Democrat
press without any sign of abatine
But does the Democratic pres
appreciate the magnitude ant
difficulty of the task that a refor
nation of the tariff would presen
