The first subject treated Of is the sale Of rail-
road franchises by the City Council for ridcu-
lousy low prices. An investigation OF the books
Of the New-Oreans Traction Company, which
now owns nearly all OF the street car lines OF the

paid to Henry Bier. the broker. besides a COM

The time has arrived when the Pop
ulists of the lst district of Missouri
should be looking around for good
candidate for congress. While there
is undoubtedly good material in all OF
the counties in this district, yet we
know that Scotland county can present
q man that cannot be excelled and one
that would add strength to the ticket
generally. This county should be
entitled to the candidate, especially
when it is known that the one it will
present would stand good chance OF
an election and be an able representa-
tive if successful. The Democrats OF
this county think they are justly en-
titled to the candidate on their ticket
this fall and talk OF putting out very
able man. They are almost shure OF
being disappointed and will be glad to
assist in confering the honor on one OF
the county's sons, even if he is not OF
their political party exactly. The
Scotland county populists should early
move in this matter and victory is al
most sure.

After all that has been said by the
old party papers, about COlorado's Pop
ulist governor taking revolutionary
means to remove two police commits
sioners, it is satisfaction to know that
the courts of that state sustain Gov.
Waite. It will be remembered that
the governor removed the two officials
because they were aiding and abettine
gamblers and law breakers generally.
Ever since that time old party papers
and politicians have been covering
themselves with the vOmitings of hell,
in order to bring reproach and disre
spect on the Governors party. This is
not to be wondered at much, when it il
a fact that the Democratic and Repub
lcan parties are but the tools of NAM
nom, and is ever ready to delude the
masses. Shame on such dirty work.
