"LOg-ROllIng" in Politics.

This term, says Current Literature, is
an American slang expression for mutual
assistance rendered by persons in power
to the detriment Of the general public.
The English phrase, "You scratch my
back and I'll scratch yours" and the
Scotch, "Caw me, cav thee" are
approximate equivalents. In it's original
sense lOg-rolling is sort Of mutual
help festival akin to the quilting bees
and husking-bees, When backwoOds-
man cuts down trees, his neighbors help
him to roll them away, and in return he
helps them with their trees. The phrase
was first applied as metaphor to politics.
A and B, for example, Congressman or
ASSemblymen, each has q bill to pass.
Each agrees to support and vote for the
the others bill. They are log-rolling for
each other. Furthermore, neither, we
win suppose, has any interest or belief
in either bill, but wishes to gain the
help OF the promoters for some scheme
OF his own. He and the promoters are
log-rOlling for each other. From politics
the phrase has passed over to literature,
and has almost superseded the older
term mutual admiration society,"" as
applied to q clique Of authors who abuse
the confidence Of the public by mutual
puffery for individual interest.

spinners and their employees. And this
power of manipulation, practicable only
by means Of this artificial system, is
destroying free competition among pro-
ducers, and is placing manufacturers in
the hands OF these monopolists. All in
turn become their prey, whether pro-
duCers, manufacturers, merchants, or
speCulators, because when the actual
article is required by the manufacturer
or merchant, or is for sale by the pro-
ducer, they can manipulate the market
at will to their own advantage, and thus
further upset the calculations Of the
speculator. In this way monopoly is
created and free competition is broken

The Second District situation.

The following in relation to the Second
district fight is taken from the PaoIa
Times:
FThe dissatisfied Republicans Of Doug
las and Wyandotte counties threaten to
bolt the nomination Of Jack Harris for
Congress, and as these two counties give
the Republican msiorlties that insure a
Republican election the prospect Of an
election Of the opposition warns up
many and various candidates. The
Populist Congressional convention it will
be noticed is called for Ottawa, June l6.
The candidates mentioned prominently
SO far are Judge Little and Judge Burris,
Of Johnson county, Senator Taylor
and NJ. s. Peters Of WyanGotte
and various others. 1t is con-
ceded by all that it would be
good politics to nominate Wyandotte
county man and the probabilities are
that at the Wyandotte county convention
some one will be agreed upon as the
Wyandotte county candidate. II this
should prove to be a man satisfactory to
the Populists of the district, we'll and
good.
"There is one Wyandotte man, who,
however, is not known to be candidate,
but who can secure the Populist NOM
ination and the vote OF every Populist
in the district and who would also make
the most creditable Congressman that
we know Of in the district, as we'll as the
most vigorous campaign if st. John is
not to be considered. We refer to s. H.
Snider, Insurance Commissioner under
Lewelling's term. He is man
OF superior ability, good campaigner,
and is known as one Of the ablest Popu-
lists Of the State and is one Of tho few
Populists who have escaped the criticism
OF the opposition. We think it would
be good politics 10 select s. Fl. Snider as

the following is taken. The men

tor says:
"On Saturday morning, April IL, J.
/. Dodd was at breakfast with me,
took his medicine without trouble and
ate moderately. A little after 8 o. m.
saw DOdd at the northeast hall door

and calling the Doctor to let him out

away, telling him Flint would get hold
of him soon, but Dodd'B mind was not

Dodd's back onto Flint's right hip and

ging DOdd by the neck into the long
hall where he put Dodd into a
seat. Dodd soon returned to the
door and made more noise. Flint
brought Dodd away as before and
started west on the long hall toward
Dodd's room. After turning west into
the long hall DOdd slipped off Fllnt's
hip. / offered to help manage him,
but Flint refused help. Flint took
DOdd by the throat with Flint's right
hand, thrust Dodd's head against the
stone wall east Of door No. 10, threw
Dodd violently to the floor, dropped
onto Dodd's breast with his knees with
violence and Sll Flint's weight, slid
astride Dodd and chOked him with
both hands until Dodd's hands fell.
Flint allowed Dodd to revive, helped
him up, told him to go to his room
Dodd refused. Flint took Dodd over
his hip as before and started towards
Dodd's room. Dodd slipped off Fllnt's
hip as before and Flint took Dodd by
the throat and threw him violently to
the floor, jumped onto his breast as be-
fore and choked him as before with
both hands. Charles Cludss asked Flint
to let him take Dodd to his room. Flint
told Cludss, "Keep your hands off, l
am going to conquer him." Flint
again helped DOdd up and tried to
drive him to his room. Dodd did not
know enough to give up and started
to 60 east. Flint was mad, Flint
again took Dodd by the throat, threw
him violently to the floor and jumped |
on Dodd with his knees as before and |
commenced choking Dojd with both
hands as before, but seeing that DOdd |
could not raise his hands, Flint jumped |
up, grabbed the back Of Dodd's coat
