DON'T REPEAL.
A just law Enacted and Should
Stand - Printers and
Publishers Stand
Firm.

Shelbina, No.. Democrat
The National Editorial Association
through its legislative committee
Hon Owen Scott being chairman
secured at the last session Of congress
an act prohibiting the postmaster gen.
eral from printing return requests
on envelops. These returns were
printed by the government free of
charge: and the postmaster general
says 34S, $50 900 envelopes were thus
printed by the government in 1892.
The postmaster general in his re-
port attacks the law. and gives the
large number printed to show that
the old practice has become ''popu-
lar"
If the government would furnish
envelopes free of charge. rs some con-
gresham has proposed, no doubt it
would become similarly popular, >
and hundreds of millions would be
called for in a year. So a law to fur
nish any useful article free Of charge
would become popular"
But would that make it right? l.
it right to tax all the people to fur
nish part with free envelopes, or
print on them return requests free !
Would it be right to thus break
down the envelope trade carried Oh
by private individuals? Is it right
for the government to interfere with
the private printing business by doing
such work for nothing? Or by doing
it at all?
The plea that it saves letters from
gong to the dead letter office has no
force. Those who get this printing
for nothing are business men and cor
pOratiOns who must order not less than
$50 at one time. They are amply
able to pay for their printing, and
they know its value, and they would
patronize the printer and pay for the
work if the government did not do it
without pay. The Scott law does not
prohibit the government keeping at
the postoffices and selling envelopes
which have printed on them, eff not
delivered in ten days return To-"
but does prohibit the printing of the
names of individuals, firms and cor
porations on them.
There is a proposition led by the
postmaster general to repeal this
Scott law. Every citizen which be-
lieves that the government should
keep its hands off private business.
and especially every printer should
protest against such Apeal.

JOHN A COCKERILL,
Written for the BAzoO's Grounding edition.
CONGRATULATIONS.

Written for the BAzoO's Ground-hos edition.
CONGRATULATIONS.
The great Sedalia BAzoO is to be
congratulated and encouraged by
every man who appreciates enterprise
and more particularly when, as in the
present instance it takes the form of a
new idea and Of justice SO long DE-
layed. No thinking man will deny
the great ability Of the grounding III
general and his economic value 10
mankind and yet the thought OF
recognizing him In his true relation to
society had occurred to no one until
in some moment of sublime inspi.
ration it came to the great mind of the
BAzoo. For unnumbered ages the
classic animal has continued his bene-
ficient habit of coming forth like a
prophet of the olden days to read
the signs Of the times and
shed light upon the future,
and yet he has hitherto been only the
subject Of witless jest and ill-concealed
sheer, and this often from the very
parties most allied to him by nature
and whom his prophecies would most
benefit. 1t would seem as If such
long continued i'll treatment would
have caused him to abandon his self
imposed task, but with patience and
sweet spirited forgiveness character
istic of no other creature in the
world, he serenely pursues the even
tenor of his way.
Very few people would recognize
him in chance meeting, and perhaps
fewer still would know him by his
true name Of marmOt, but this fact
does not disturb his complacency or
interfere with his digestion. He pur-
sues his ordinary avOcations with all
the sang froid of a civil service
man who is equally at home
with Cleveland or Harrison, or a phil
osopher to whom fame is worthless
and reputation but bubble.
The grounding is wiser in his gen.
Grafton than the children OF men. tie
knows a good thing and stays by it.
When the summer grows sentienl and
the voice of the tax gatherer isheard in
the land he calmly remarks that II Is
about his time to retire, and he leaves
no order in the Office to be walked tor
the 5 o'clock train. He wraps Lie
drapery of his couch about hi,n AND
lies down to pleasant dreams.
Short-sighted man may worry him
self in planning how to ''stand IA" i,l-
creditors and keep solid with lne coal
man-the gas man-tbe butcher ami
baker. He may start paper IN lne
billy country Of Judea To supply u
long felt want or worse than AL lie
may run for office and after months vi
audacity, mendacity, sagacIty AMI
pertinacity find himself elected, no.
to go, but the ground snores On IA
happy Inconsistencies of all lie l.s
to which flesh is heir
But a change has cOme-which lie
sure to be rewarded in the long run
and when the grounding makes his
annual bow to the public next Thurs
day if by chance he beholds copy
OF the Sedalia BAzOo, and recognizes
the speakinglikeness Of himself on the
front page and reads the many tri-
butes to his modest worth which fill
its columns he will blushingly confess
that the world is better than he had
supposed and that the BAzOO is after
all, the best paper possible, for the
people now on earth.

Flower Raising in Sicily Islands.

The Sicily islands have in the last
few wears been made paradise OF
flowers, and flowers are now almost
the sole business of the inhabitants.
The islands have become TO London
what the Bermudas are tolNew York
aud rs the Bermudas send us tons and
ship loads Of lilies and other beautiful
flowers for Easter and for early spring
so the Settles send cargoes Of sweet
blossoms to London.
The crop of narcissi this year was
enormous. As many as twonty-seyen
tons OF these flowers were shipped to
the London market in one dav. and
litty-tye tons were exported in one
week. In February 1872 tons of mar
cissi were shipped and the whole cx-
port of these lovely flowers is csti-
mated at more than 400 tons for this
season.
The distance from the isles to Lon
don is 32S miles The flowers are all
shipped by steamer from one port in
the island of ST. Mary's The flowers
are brought from the numberiess little
iSlets to St. Mary's in sailDoats and it
is an interesting sight to see in the
early mornings, the dozens Of these
little craft, with their cargoes Of dainty
blossoms, battling the rough waters
that beat among the rugged islets, on
their way to the steamer. Narcissus
farming is the principal branch of the
industry, but all manner of flowers are
raised, and all through the spring aud
summer these rocky islets are filled
with blossoms, and are become like so
many beauteous and fragrant bou-
quets floating in the waters of the
blue Atlantic.

Makes His Living Matching Button,

Not long since discovered man in
New York who makes a speciality of
matching lost bnttons. His shop, a
dingy little To- -ceilinged room, was
surrounded by shelves, on which were
piled boxes of buttons Of all sorts and
conditions. While | was there a girl
came in and asked him if he had any
like those on her jacket. He took
down several specimens and presently
found one which he sewed on. She
paid him 10 cents. This is the usual
price, though rare buttons sometimes
come higher At regular intervals he
goes round collecting buttons among

them for him and sell them very
