SS Ofllce at Cbenery & Stiles drujr store. WE have it from Mr. "Watkins , late editor of the defunct Cndianola Times , that he has ordered an entirely new out fit and that he will again engage in the newspaper business at Tndianola , in the near future. SENATOR IXUALLS of Kansas bleed ing tossed the ycleped Generilsurnam- : , ed Sparks , around in the Senate , the other day , because of that brilliant ( ? ) order , in a manner tending to convince the General that he is mortal , and be longs to the noble class that Puck de lights to portray with pen and brush. ALL the railroads of New 1'nrk state are compelled by a law of 1885 to place automatic couplers on every new freight car after July ] . ar.d a great man } ' in ventions of the sort are to be tested at the yards of the Central at East Albany the 10th inst. , after which the railroad commissioners will rocommed the best. There is a handsome fortune in store for the inventor who produces an auto matic car coupler which will secure per fectsafety combinedwithdurability and cheapness. WE see it stated that Zeiliker , the chronic office-seeker from Franklin , has pulled out of the race for the nomina tion for Secretary of State. Tf such is the case , llegister Laws , should he de sire the honor , will be the unanimous choice of the Valley , and will be a for midable candidate for the Secretaryship , in the coming State Convention. The Valley is entitled to this recognition , and no one in the Valley is better qual ified for the position : no one who would represent the people with more grace and efficiency. A ( ! O VKRX.MEXT ownership of railroads would possess many features of merit and advantage , and in a country like England , where government administra tion is free from political corruption and favoritism , there are good reasons why it should be brought about. But it would more than double the duties of government , largely exaggerate the in fluence and authority of the central power and of the dominant party , and these considerations will , for a long time to come , forbid even the favorable entertainment of it in the United States. The bes't we can hope to do is to require that the owners of railroads shall ex hibit a fair regard for the public inter ests , and place the charges on them at the lowest rates consistent with the task of earning a moderate profit on their actual unwatered cost. Foil preposterous presumption Sparks' order suspending pre-emption and tim ber-culture filings probably stands alone and without precedent , an enduring monument to ignorance and imbecility. The idea of a "twofer" ' land commis sioner attempting to suspend and there by temporarily annul the force of an actof the national legislature could only originate in the erratic imagination of a man of Sparks'calibre. . No one acquaint ed with the fundamental principles of law or government would ever have shown such profound density of ignor ance anJ stupidity. It is a severe com mentary on Larnar's legal perspicacity that he ever approved such a fool order , and his peremptory revocation of the same is the only mitigating circum stance connected with the affair. After such severe and repeated squelchings and humiliation ? , about the only course for the commissioner to pursue is to step down and out , and the benediction of the people of the great west will rest upon and abide with him.
