THE January number of Scribner's
Magazine, which is at hand, opens
the'7th volume. This number con-
tains some articles of unusual inter-
est, among them, "Water-Storage in
the West" impressions of the Paris
Exposition" ELECTRICITY in the
Household" etc. The illustrations
of this number are also very fine.

THE Cannon Courier is pouring
some broadsides into the viOlators of
law in Woodbury. and Cannon county
in general, particularly regarding the
whisky traffic. Here is a little sample
from last weeks issue: "There are
some of our officers-Squires and Con-
stables, for instance-who, if not en-.
gagged in the illegal sale of whisky,
frequently become connected with it
in such way that they are too drunk
to be considered SOBER" In another
article the Courier speaks of Wood
bury as "a town where whisky is al
most as accessible as any article of
merchandise kept by our merchants,
where drinking is frequent and fights
are common, where a portion of the
officers Of the law engage in drunken
carousals and another portion turn
their backs to keep from seeing viola
tons of the law, and where the pistol
is used as disturber of the peace"
The purpose of the Courier is not to
show Woodbury. up in bad light to
the outside world, but to correct the
evils by exposing them. Every law
abiding citizen of the county should
support and encourage the Courier in
the fight until better condition OF
things is effected. Woodbury. hasn't
good name abroad for law and
order, and the Curriers' fight is nc
doubt a just one. Such fight is not
a pleasant task for any newspaper tC
undertake, but it comes plainly in
the line of a newspapers duty, and
cannot be avoided if the editor con-
scienciously fulfils his trust.

Frederick Schultz sues August Michel
to recover on damages sustained in a
novel way, says st. Paul dispatch to
the New York World: Michel is pro-
prietor of st. Paul hostelry, at which
Schultz put up on the night OF July s
last. Michel and Schultz were old-timc
friends. The mutual goodwill had
never been disrupted in any way. After
the usual good night Schultz went into
the room assigned him, crawled into
bed was soon aleep. Downstairs, where
Michel was distributing liquids to his
customers at the bar, all was hilarity.
Michel, taking advantage of the frame
of mind his customers were in, left the
bar in charge of an attendant, and, Sc
curing pots Of red and black paint
from his woodshed, proceeded upstairs
to the room occupied by Schultz, who
was fast asleep.

was smearcd with paint and was unable

Michel's work did not stop here. He
wanted n suitable wind-up; so, opening
the door wide, invited the public to
come in and gaze at his handl work.
Quite crowd assembled in the frescoed
mans room, and had more fun over the
matter than anybody. They laughed at
and guyed Mr.. Schultz in iiendish
manner. as he said. Finally they let
him enjoy his appearance alone. Then
he went to work to remove the obnox-
ious substance from his body, which was
not the work Of few minutes. BY rea-

Singeiug Pigs.

Our readers often see in the mark et
reports quotations of siugeing pigs and
m ay have noticed that they always sell
higher than other grades, say the Iowa
Homestead. "Singers" form about
per cent of the receipts in Chicago and
are long, fine-boned pigs, not very fat,
but OF choice quality and we'll bred,
weighing from 1870 to 200 pounds. They
are used to make choice cuts, such as
Staffordshires, ,Birminghams and Wilke-
shires, for the foreign trade. The hair,
instead of being scalded off, is ''singed"
by machine made especially for the
purpose, which makes the meat firmer.
These pigs come from Iowa, Missouri
and Nebraska, and always command a
premium over other grades. The de-
mand for this grade of meat is another
evidence OF the protest OF the human
stomach against too much grease.

The Care of Eggs.

Gather daily washing the soiled ones,
and if to be used within two or three
days, place them in a cool room. If you
wish to keep them longer than this, or
''set" a hen with them, put them into
basket, in which first place about two
inches of bran, packing them closely
with the large end down, says the Ne
braska City Wyandotte Herald. The
philosophy is this: The air-cell in the
larger end of the egg enlarges when
the egg is laid away. If the butt end
is up, the evaporation of moisture is
greater,and the pressure of air through
the open pores at the end rapidly in
creases the size of the bubble. If the
butt end is down, the weight of the
liquid contents pressing down on the
bubble hinders the entrance of air, al
lowing only very slow and gradual
increase in the size of the air cell.

it fall on any cut in the human flesh, or

A STARTLING SCHEME.

An Illinois Congressman's Plan for Count
ing the Presidential Vote.
The proposition of Congressman
Springer to elect the President and
Vice-President by direct vote OF the
people, each State to be entitled to as
many votes as it may have Senators
and Representatives in Congress, will
probably receive the serious consid-
Grafton of the House.
Mr.. Springer recently made an in
teresting computation of the vote in
the recent election, based upon his
system, which provides that the ag-
gregate popular vote in each State
shall be divided by the number of
Presidential votes to which each State
is entitled, the quotient to be the ratio
of the Presidential vote, and the candi-
dates having the largest fractions be-
ing entitled to the odd Presidential
votes votes. According to the plan
Mr.. Cleveland would have received
2OS votes, General Harrison, 1877. and
Fisk and Streeter, the Prohibition and
Labor candidates respectively. each,
making in all 401. These votes,
divided among the various States,
would have stood as follows:

SHERMAN'S CUNNING,

The Ohio Pharisee's Corrupt and Wicked
Centralizing Project
Senator Sherman has prepared a
bill to regulate the election of men,
bers of Congress which is intended to
place i'll the hands of the President
the control of the House of Represen-
tatives. 1t is bold and startling prop
osition to centralize the Government
in the Executive Department. Senator
Sherman proposes that the President
shall appoint five persons in each State
a board OF canvassers and three persons
in each Congress district an electoral
board for such district, their terms to
be during good behavior. The cleo
toral board of each district is to APP
point registrar for each precinct or
election district, to hold office for six
years, and three judges of election for
each precinct or election district. A
registration of voters shall be made
and only these registered shall be per-
mitted to vote.
1t is SO plain as to require no argu-
ment to demonstrate it, that the effect
of this measure would be to put the
control of the election machinery, so
far as Congressional elections are con-
cerned, absolutely in the hands of
the President. He would, if he were
so minded, be able to secure at any
time the election of Congress which
would serve the purposes of his am
bition. The independence of the Leg
islative branch of the Government
would thus be placed at the mercy of
the Executive. Instead of purifying
elections or charging the freedom of
suffrage, it would tend to the further
corruption of the ballot through the
patronage of the Federal Government
and the exclusion of thousands of
working-men from the polls who can
not afford to lose the time to apply
for registration before Federal as we'll
as State officials. 1t is simply a cum
ming but cumbrous device to narrow
the privileges of the people at the bal
lot-boX.

say to his party in Congress, let us pro-
hibit the apportionment of States into
Congressional districts and fix ratio
for the election of Congressman by
dividing the vote of State by the
number Of Congressman to be chosen
and admitting to seats only such can
didates as receive the full ratio or
more or come nearest to receiving the
full ratio. If he were to do this and
Congress were to adopt the suggestion

DUDLET'S ABSOLUTION,

"RefOrm" Administration.

Tie Snivelins Hypocrisy of tho Incoming
"Reform" Administ IA ton.
The crimes of Dudley. whereby In
diana was carried for the Republicans,
have not escaped punishment without
seriously compromising the incoming
Administration. Through a direct ex-
ertion of the influence of the President
elect the judge of that district has re-
versed his opinion of the guilt of Dud-
ley, and the grand jury has been in
structed that it must have proof, not
only that Dudley mapped out the cam
paign of bribery, as charged. but also
that persons, accepting his advice,
aid, counsel and process, advanced to
the concrete act and accomplished the
debauchery of an electorate, through
the exploitation of five voters at
time.
The organ of tha Presideut-elect,
which is edited by the private secre-
tary of Mr.. Harrison, does not conceal
its joy at this outcome, and the Chica-
60 mouth-piece and financial agent OF
the Republican committee OF Indiana
echoes the song of triumph. 1.-The
fears of a possible Indictment have all

The Herald. from the first, has main
tanned that a sniveling hypocrisy
would be the outer garment OF the
new regime Under so much sanity
apparel, all the skullduggeries of poll
tics and jobbery would hide. The
escape of Dudley is like the recent
escape of Gould. Naught but the
scandalous interference, by judge,
with the logic of judicial procedure
would shield the object of legal in
curry After the failure of other ex-
pedients, that Intervention went re-
morselessly on record.
