A Well Deserved Rebuke.

The country editor who pub
fishes all the local happenings, no
matter how trifing some of them
may appear to stranger, has the
true journalistic instinct. The city
editor, which sneers at his rural
brothers work, evidently does not
understand the situation. The
Chicago Ink Flend presents the
matter in its true light, when it
says, editorially:
"Some of the city dailies seem
to think it a cunning thing to
clip from the country press items
of purely local interest-and mean
ingless to people at a distance
and hold them up as samples of
rural journalism, the intent being
to convey sneer. OF such are
these
1.-The graveyard afence needs white
washing.
1--WE thank Heber Birdsalls wife for
the cake sent to our Office to-day.
Healer's popular meatcart is :nended

..Elder Elliot has swapped his buck
board for set of teeth. He looks fine in
them.
"'Mrs. Abbie Foster has netted SII.54
on her chickens this year. Who says
women are not possessed of business
ability
"And so on. Now the editor who
gathers and publishes such items as
these deserves, instead of sneer,
the heartiest commendation. He is
giving his readers the news-that
is, the news which is of most in
terest to them their immediate
neighbors and their own little
world, which is more to them than
the movements of emperors and
kings. Horace Greeley said that a
mans first concern is for himself
and next for his neighbor; from
which it is rightly argued that a
country newspaper should publish
all the local happenings of its COM
munity. even to the exclusion, if
need be, of the foreign news. The
rural journalist who does this brings
his paper and himself nearer to his
people than he otherwise could, and
is thus enabled to broaden and
deepen his influence among them,
and should reap more abundant
material harvest. The editor who
does this is wiser than the city fell
low who turns up his nose at him. :

Post-office Intelligence.

1t is not generally known that
the United States post-office
authorities will redeem stamped
wrappers or envelopes which have
been misdirected, and so made
useless. Such is the case, how
ever, and the clerks who have this
business in charge at the general
post-offices take back thousands of
dollars worth of them every year.
Their best customers are large
banking houses and concerns
which keep numbers of envelopes
on hand, already addressed to par
ticular customers. The customer
dies, moves away, fails or transfers
his account or business to rival
firm, and all the envelopes ad-
dressed to him are useless and
would be dead loss if Uncle Sam
were not willing to redeem them.
This has led to attemps at fraud
Sometimes the postage stamp on
an envelope that comes through
the post-ofice is missed by the
cancelling stamp, and then by
tearing the cancellation mark off,
the mntilated envelope, with un-
cancelled stamp, has been offered
for redemption. Envelopes will
not be redeemed, though, unless
they are whole and unmutilated.
Neither will the redemption be
made in money, but always in
postage stamps.

back from that body with a record
tainted with treachery or coward

Gratis on the tariff issue and the

well to vote so as to best advance
these ends, leaving their other

They are evidently not likely to do
this. There are too many Don
nellys among them. Their mis-

emaciated without distinct action.
The indications look to a more

Gambling in Grain.

The introduction of Senator
Washburn's bill against gambling
in grain has aroused great opposi-
ton among the gamblers and their
organs, and, as is usual in such
cases, they try to scare farmers
into opposition to the bill, on the
ground that option dealing helps
the price of grain by making the
farmer market. Such talk is
twaddle.. People do not buy
wheat unless they want it, and the
gamblers do not buy it at ALL.
They simply buy ''fat'' wheat,
paper obligations, wind and moth
ing more. They do not cause one
barrel more of it to be kneaded
into bread and eaten. Consumers
make the market, and legitimate
buyers serve both producer and
consumer. Betting on futures
does not increase the price of
wheat, any more than betting on
horse races increases the demand
and the price of horses. The dis
astrous effect it has on the market
rs Indirect but none the less damag-
ing. 1t drives out legitimate buy
ers, gives the control of prices into
the hands of men who care nothing
for supply or demand, but make
or break markets by manipula-
tons, secret combinations and COR
ners. If this form of gambling
can be reached by law, it is high
time that it should be suppressed.

THE ST. LOUIS CONTENTION

NJ HOo AO NON Y LIN lION.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 23.-Probablv
no more sensational, turbulent
scene was ever witnessed at great
political gathering than one start
lngly presented this afternoon IN
the big national industrial confer
ence. Southerners were pitted
against Northerners, Farmers AL
lance men against Alliance men,
and for many anxious minutes to
hundreds in the huge Music hall,
the convention seemed about to
break to pieces in riotous blood
shed. The extraordinary tumult
took place with hardly moments
warning.
"lf it is a crime to be Demo-
crat, then you can take me out and
hang me now!' Thus, with quiv-
ering frame, distended eyes, up
lifed arm and clenched fist, Con-
gresham Charles L. Noses, of the
Fourth Georgia district, hurled de-
fiance at the delegates. A perfect
cyclone Of groans and Kisses, start
ing on the floor and following it's
track up to the top gallery of ex-
position hall, followed in the wake
of the challange. Hang me,
now," repeated Moses, in a voice
that penetrated the din, and again
there was an avalanche Of I'M
earthly sounds, in the midst of
which, with apparently every nerve
and fiber shaking with passion and
excitement, the Georgia congress

ST.. Paul Dispatch: The voice
of Congressman Hall, of Mime
sofa, is still for Cleveland and
against Hill and Tammany.
Neither is Mr.. Hall opposed to
such a combine of Democrats and
Alliance men in Minnesota as shall
defeat the Republican electoral
ticket next November-''if a fusion
can be made alike honorable to
both parties and without sacrifc-
ing principle by either, I should
favor it." There ought to be no
trouble about such an amalgama-

EVIDENTLY the St. Paul Globe,
the mouth-piece Of the Northwest

fusion of the Democrats and AL

ing from it's editorial columns:
The Yankton Telegram, the old
est, and perhaps most influential
of the newspaper supporters Of the
third party cause in South Dakota,
vigorously opposes the attempt at
st. Louis to prevent independent
political action. "Brother LoucEs''
and some other Alliance leaders

intentions. Their aim, as stated,
has been to induce the old parties.
or one of them, to indorse their
principles. 1t appears that at
the meeting of Alliance presidents
at Washington, attended by Mr..
Loucks, he agreed to go to St.
Louis, and in the conference this
week urge that no independent
action be had until the Ocala de-
mands have been submitted to the
conventions of both parties, ten
dering the support Of the elements
represented to the party that ac-
cepts the conditions. The Yank-
ton paper is intensely hostile to
this scheme, and claims in this to
represent the great majority Of the
Independent party. They are in
no mood for trifing, it alleges, and

claim that he can be elected presi-

that the ''stuffed prophet would

Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, the
two Dakotas and Wisconsin. With
Harrison as the Republican nomi-
nee, Cleveland's friends have some
grounds upon which to base their
claims. Republicans may as well
look facts squarely in the face, for
they cannot afford to lose a SINGLE
Northwestern State and stand anv
show of winning. The third party
movement is strong only in Re-
publican States-in the Northwest.
The Democrats will carry every
southern State; the man who ex-
poets the third party to cut any
considerable figure in the south
must be bereft of his senses.
