The Original ITative Stock of Tubers Something of Interest to ii 'i-'- AU Cultivators Ritter Doubeday We are Informed that W. B. White, postmaster at Melrose, was in town a few. days ago to consult the county attorney in refer-ence to certain parties who annoy him and are trying to give him' trouble in the discharge of his duties as postmaster Itseems to us fron what we can learn from gentlemen residing hear the office, that the offences are such as to demand the attention of the government authorities. It the members of the Smart Alexander family who reside in the vicinity of the Melrose postoffice were compelled to visit Topeka by order of Uncle Sam, they might have more sense when they return.

In our last issue we stated that Dr. E. A. Scammon, the recently appointed State Mine a coal operator, or "in other words that he was engaged in operating coal mines. We made the statement believing it true, and did not know anything to to the contrary until the Doctor tackled us last Saturday evening and made an assault upon us, as 1 said, by reason of the statement The editor of the Courier, whose paper appeared before ours made a similar ftatement, and we find that other persons about town were of the opinion that the Doctor was engaged in operating mines! We had no desire whatever to misrepresent him, Prices to Suit You: Pacific Bond Press.

Now how can the Courier, in the face of this section, -explain the following sentence, on which he bases Dr.

Scammons' fitness for Inspector: "For six years and more he and his brother operated the mines in person, and for three or four years have leased the mines, but we believe are now the managers again." Comment on the above is useless. It is evident the law has been lost sight of in the scramble of the politicians for the place. So far as my disappointment at not getting the place is concerned, I never expected it, for the very good reason that I heard from the Governor's own mouth, in conversation with him, that he was an enemy of the law, and in fact came near vetoing it. Had I known his enmity to the measure sooner, he never should have had the power of using the place to reward a political partisan. Laws of such vital importance should never be dragged into the arena of party politics, but unfortunately the true interests of the people are generally lost sight of, or entirely ignored in the scramble for place and power by the two old parties.

The people gener-all believed that we had a reform Governor, but so far as the workingmeu, and more especially the miners of the state, are concerned, he has not proved himself such a man. His penitentiary directors, having leased all the coal which will be mined at the penitentiary coal shaft, during the ensuing year, to one man, at 6 cents per bushel, thus injuring both the capital invested and labor employed in the business all over the state, and using convict labor to to compete, and reduce the already to small earnings of workingman.

Willey. The county commissioners visited the poor farm last week and inspected it. They found everything about the place as neat as a new pin. At present there are only six inmates at the farm. Mr.

Pattyson, the superintendent, has had the hedges and orchard trimmed up neatly, has burned the hedge brush, and hauled the orchard trimmings up to the house and had them cut up into kindling wood. The yards around the house and outbuildings have been cleaned up and the entire premises present a neat and cleanly appearance. The commissioners are well pleased with Mr. Pattyson's management. There may be some men who imagine they can put a gag in our mouth by offering violence to our person, but it will be a cold day when it is done, if we are permitted to live.

We have always thought this a free country, but if it is not, by the eternal we are ready to hely make it so. We know that we sometimes make mistakes and are liable to err in making statements, but we defy any man to show a single instance where we ever in all our newspaper experience misrepresented any man knowingly. We defy any man to show a single instance where we ever made a single statement detrimental to the business, social or political interests of any man, knowing the same to be false. There is no class of men who are more thoroughly imposed upon than editors. There are so many persons who imagine newspapers ought to be a receptacle for all the rumors afloat, and it would be strange if an editor did not occasionally get picked up on a statement that would not wash.

We have always made it a rule to be careful about such things. Remember that Brown never misrepresents anything he sell3. You can depend on what he tells you. J. H.

Hildreth, of Sheridan township, left for a ten days' visit to Champaign county, Illinois, this morning. He will traverse his old r-nping grounds again.

Morbid illusions of hearing, unaccompanied by other evidences of mental derangement, are not very common. One case only has come under my observation. It was that of a gentleman to whom the ticking of a clock was resolved into articulate words. Generally the expressions were in the form of commands. For instance, if at dinner, they would be, "Eat your soup!" "Drink no wine!" and so on.

One day he made the discovery that, if he closed the right ear firmly, the illusion disappeared; but, if the left ear were closed, the words Were still distinctly heard. It was hence clear that the center for hearing on the ritt side was the one affected, and that that on the left side was normal. For a long time this gentleman resisted accepting any of these illusions as facts, but after a time he began to be influenced by them to the extent of regarding them, as guides. Eventually he put clocks in every room in his house, and professed to be governed altogether by the directions they gav them. Whlttier sad the South.
