EDITORIAL NOTES.


The modest Shah-in-Shah, or King of
Kings, otherwise the high old cock-a-lorum
Of the Persian Empire, seems to have i'm
bibed little civilization during his late
European tour, for. when he arrived home,
Il short time since, instead Of celebrating
that event by slashing off three or four or
half q dozen fellows heads, he simply
made speech. There is some hope that
this King Of Kings, or fool Of fools, will
learn something yet. 1t is well that he did
not extend his tour to the United States,
for our shoddyites would have so toadied
| to MIN that he would have concluded he
was infinitely above and beyond all learn
ing.


A man from one of the Western counties
says that up where he lives they can get
up the most, and the worst and the big
gest hail storms, as well as the largest hail
stones, and that they can raise the most,
and the biggest, and the meanest, and the
worst, and the greediest and the most raw
enous grass hoppcrs Of any place in the
known world. Won't Chicago please see
this man and go one better.


We see by the papers that they had quite
q snow storm down at East Georgia, Ver-
mont, last month. If such is their Sep
tember, what do they expect from Decem-
ber? Hadn't these East Georgians better
emigrate and start West Georgia? We
invite them to come in out Of the cold as
soon as possible. They may find it little
too warm up here the first winter or two,
but they will soon get used to it,


We notice great deal of commiseration
expressed for Jay Cooke & Co. through
the press Of the country. This may be all
prompted by very generous impulses, but
wouldn't it be just as we'll if those who are
overAowing with pity would just bcstow a
share Of it upon the poor widows and or
phans who had intrusted the whole Of their
little stock and store to these men, or 9TH
ers who are now bankrupt, and are there
by bereft Of the whole Of husbands life
insurance, or fathers patrimony? How
many poor, hard working man has had
to 60 home and break to the partner of all
his tolls and rewards, the sharer Of all his
joys and griefs, the terrible news that the
whole Of the savings of these many hard
years of labor and frugality had been swept
away as with breath The sad reverses
Of the great are paraded for our sympathy
every day, but who hears OF the heart aches
that fill hundreds Of humble homes


England wants one hundred million
bushels Of wheat this year, and has the
cash to pay. This demand has not been
decreased by the failures Of J. Cooke s.
Co., neither is there less money now than
before the failure. Yet wheat went down
to ninety cents per bushel in Chicago,
and why? Simply because one great firm
could not meet its obligations, and the
stock brokers', jobbers and wheat gamblers
lost faith in each other. Suppose instead
Of selling to these men, who make their for
tunes by gambling with the hard earned
products of the farmer, and are so dishon-
est as to fly into panic upon the failure of
any related to them, for fear that they were
going to be robbed, the producer sells di-
rectly to the consumer, and pockets the
profits.


GoD RULEs.-As nation we profess to
believe in Divine Providence. We seized
upon this thought and stamped it upon our
coin - In God is our Trust" Yet in busi-
ness and politics men either forget God or
consider themselves out of his jurisdiction
until some fearful calamity comes like a
mighty thunder bolt, and then men begin to
recognize some other power than wealth,
