Shanghai News.
Mr.. Editor:


/ noticed news items from various
sections of the country occasionally In
the papers which answers to while
away lonely moments of dreary life.
beg therefore the indulgence of a few
lisultory remarks
The matter of chief discussion at
present is the arrival of Teddy the ter.
rible which is matter Of amusement
if not disgust. Imagine veriable
creature travelling around over differ
ent continents on exhibition pokIng
his nose and mouth into everybody
business.
The storm of Saturday night was
really alarming. The continual vivid
lightning ard constant roar of thunder
and heavy rain interpreted with occa-
sional hail, for an hour and half in
the deep darkness of the night though
grandly magnificent was calculated to
fill one with agitation and awe.
The much promised prosperity to the
tillers of the soil seems to have many
adversities. Why is it the idlers, the
politicians and the tradesmen of every
description is continually to keep down
the agricultural class upon whom they
are dependent for their daily food9
The farmers, not like other classes,
tolls from sun to sun and some times
when his prospects seem most eneour-
aging Providence sends some calaitmy,
the freshet, the drouth or some plague
and our hopes are dashed to the earth.
We see through the press that the
incomes of the millionaires are not suf.
ficiently large to increase the wages
Of those who toll for them, that the
suffering for food and raiment might
be alleviated. In the name Of God,
from whence did the millions come?
Did they steal them?
The people of this section at this
time seem 10 be taking a most lively
Interest in the matter of the county
roads. The sub bosses under the grand
mogul, the county engineer, Mr.. VIII
liata Wood, are working all the mem
bers of their own families, cid women
boys, girls, the malt, lame and blind
anybody who can pat in time. They
work as they please, making such
changes as they please to suit theil
own convenience or their pocketbooks
The honorable, systematic and benev-
olent County court may have to open
their eyes and understand too, when
these family bills come in, but since il
has become game of grab all along the
line why not let the little fellows have
a chance as well as the big fellows
such as Charles Peter Light and
I'm Willing wood tor big vote will
not count any more than little one.
The trolley line has not yet been To-
Gated The promoters are a little slow
trying TO get as good terms out of the
citizens as possible. guess the most
of us are willing to do a good part con
sidering our ability.
