the fact of the decline in the prices

been considered, seemed to shake the

ration Of dividends of Southern Pa

A NICE LOT.

The St Louis Parryites are going
clear bug-house. They are telling each
other in their official organ, the Elk
ponent, that union men are SO "un-
reasonable that there is only one
thing that appeals to them, and that
is disciplined soldiery, with loaded
muskets and who shoot to kill when
the order is given. One company
each, of infantry, cavalry and artil-
lery, will go further toward bringing
about restoration of order in any large
city than the entire police force"
They are nice lot to talk about law
and order when the newspapers and
magazines are full of accounts of graft
schemes and every form of crime that
is running riot among their set. And
