The sooner members of the Legislature
learn that fountain cannot rise higher than
the source, the better for all concerned. The
effort to force the Merrill-Appleton law upon
the people, and the desperate attempt to
prevent its submission to a popular vote in
the school districts before it can be put in
force, shows that the Legislature does not
appreciate that it's duty is to serve the public
instead of private interests. This wonder
full effort to give the people something with
out daring to give them chance to say
whether they wish it or not, is very remarka-

II is not likely that any bill will pass
the Legislature authorizing the city to issue
bonds for High School, or the county to
issue bonds for bridge at Fort Smelling,
unless the propositions are submitted to a

The people have to pay both principal and
interest on the bonds, and the debt should
not be incurred without their consent.

Heretofore . dishonest pension agent was
restrained by law from robbing the poor I;
as their rates of compensation were fixed by
law. But by an unhappy oversight during
the last days of Congress, a bill was passed
which practically removes all restrictions as
to fees Of claim agents in pension cases, and
turns over to the tender mercies of un-
crupulous men the disabled soldiers and
their widows and orphans who seek the
benefit Of the Pension Laws. This shows the
FOLLY Of attempting legislation in the hurry
of closing session. Congress intended the
exact opposite Of what it did. The first
work of the next session should be to re-
store the old law, which was entirely safe
and was satisfactory to all honest men.
Pensioners, be sure to make your bargain
with the agents in advance, as they cal
charge what they like.

From the best information we
can gather there will be a full sup
ply Of hogs the coming season, which
is now gradually approaching, and
it will be only a few weeks before
some new corn-fed hogs wi j be put
on the market. Our farmers in this
section, where the corn crop is light
from the extreme dry weather,
must not presume that the drought
has been universal, and that the av-
erage corn crop of the country will
be a short one, for it is just the con-
trary, and a heavy yield of corn is
generally anticipated. We believe
as a rule that the earliest sales of
hogs pay the farmer best, and the
sooner his hogs are ready for market
the better the prices obtained. From
the price OF pork at present, the pri-
ces of last year cannot be main
tanned, for packers as a rule lost
heavily last season, and will be
over-cautious this year. Nothing
but a positive assurance Of a short
crop of hogs, coupled with a short
crop of corn, will maintain present
prices.

and what has been the consequence?
Some of them are to-day repenting
in sackcloth and ashes that this
constitutional protection, requiring
three-fourths vote to carry a tax


proposition, was not extended over
them: for they have had large
taxes to build railroads voted on


them by bare majority vote, and
they are now seeking whatever re-
lief they can get from the onerous

THE question whether postal officials

There is no more doubt that drinking
ice water arrests digestion than there is
that a refrigerator would arrest per-
