NOBLE PRENTIs has sued the
Newton Republican company for
$1,000 for forfeiture OF contract. His
petition sets forth that he contracted
with the company to edit their
paper for three years at . salary Of
$500 . year, and that the contract
contained q provision for the forfeit
ure Of 900 by the company II II
was terminated prior to the time
specified. Mr.. Prentis had, before
his contract with the republican, q
good situation aud . good salary on
the AtchisOn Champion. He was
wise enough before making the
change, TO enter into n contract that
makes him good for losses. II was
an era when morning papers were
born In q day and vanished In q
night. That era IL not gone yet, but

The opposition to an APPropriA-
ton for an executive mansion IL not
based upon any substantial grounds.
IL IL ~ much needed a. any public
institution, and the expense IL but .
trifie to each taxpayer. We notice
that those newspapers that oppose
the appropriation are willing to
give away public money for projects
which are not near 90 much In
demand, and not near 50 feasible.
Some argue against q in q spirit Of
demagogery; others plead the capt.
tal-removal fraud. Some even have
their skirts Shiny from contact with
big steals from the public treasure.

Of Ellsworth, last Friday night. The
Ellsworth Herald IL in possession Of
some Of the pieces, which appear to

THERE IL one man In Missouri whom
the Democracy Of the Nation and
Of that state do not seem to aPpreci-
ave, and that is EX-GoT. Crittenden.
He did something which was unPar-
donAble In the eyes Of Rebel Demo-
eracy but which should almost can
oniEe him In the eyes Of all others.
He rid Missouri OF the pestiferOus,
muderous James gang. II il under
stood that he was an applicant for q
Government experimentation
Cabinet, Diplomatic, or some other
such position-And the fact that he
had made war upon the James gang
was Q death knell to all his hopes.
When the Vests, the COckerills, and
other Missouri statesmen who have
pandsred TO the influences which
the James gang cOntrOlled-shall
have been desd and forgotten,
CrIttenden's name will be luminous
and conspicuous in history.
