Prohibition is raiuinci in Missouri every day. Vote for Dive Campbell for County Treasurer; a man who is fully acquaint ed with the duties of the oluce and who is honest and faithful; whose accounts have always been found correct to a cent. Why vote for his opponent, a man whose best friends do not claim that he is in any manner fitted for the place? The Nev York Produce Exchange votes to-day upon an important matter, namely, the establishment of a clearing house system for the settlement of differ ence:) in transactions in grain, ims is a system, the adaptation of which, progress ive members of the grain trade have long ought to secure, but up to the present in vain. 1 lie plan does not embrace a sys tem of contract clearances; it will only simplify tha work transacted by it. Tin' plan seems to promise a useful and even a necessary advance in the business of the exch mge. Likutkxaxt Ul-.nwoody of the Signal Service, who for a number of years has taken an act've interest in developing the Slate weather-service?, has recently accomplished a good piece of work in securing the a lopiion of a uniform system of summari-.ing and tabulating the data published monthly in the various state bulletin, Hitherto every state has hue pretty mud; its own plan, and the change , , , . . i. to a sinirle iorm of litatement cannot fail to 1 e ndvantacreoits to all concerned.

Mr. rit..-hiijl 1 is h'gh.y esteem ed by hi - 11 -:gh" or and ac::u:iii:taucca and has I ee.i ent by them to represent them in cv.-ry county convention since "80. During summer Mr. Critchfield cares for his farm and during winter en gages in teaching in the puplic schools. He is a typical republican, having always been a leader in the party, in his commu nity, for this reason he is deserving of the suppo't of every republican in the count-. Now while we have a good and worthy nmn of our own in the field let each and eyc-ry republican cast his vote for that identical man and there will be no question as to his election by a ripe majority. It very discouraging to republican organs that, a! tii -ugh the president has traveled through a large seel ion . 1 the south and seen hundreds of thom-an Is of southern people not a solitary southerner has ta'f-n him to task 'for rtfusl.g to reiur.i those "rebel tirgs." Ex. The democratic journal that published the above is presuming altogether too much on the ignorance of the readers. if it has any of the republican faith. -The south well understands that Mr. Cleveland did all in his power "ito return to them their lost battle flags, not only in face of public sentlaicnt but in the face of a plain st-.tuto as well. How could he do more? "When lie found, president though he was, tho people had more power than he, lie came out with a card saying he could not return the flags on account of the la vs of the country pre venting; but never a word to indicate UB Ti 1 , ' V , l. . 1 .1- .1 1 i-1 A,. 1" . - 1 -0 - inetaiivoi cenocauc journals aoout "Clevelind's refusing to return the flags" is a very cheap specimanof wilful igno rance t' at unbiased p(o)!e iill not read except wit'i derision.

"What we; know, and what every person knows who has any niriines.- to do through the mail?, is that the service is utterly demoralized; that never before was it so inellicieut and un certain, and that it is a fact that nobody can place the least dependanne on get ting their mail matter with any regu larity, or in any sort of time. The com- ilaints of the failure of the postoflices to ropcrly attend to the business of the country aro universal. They come from ill quarters, and from men and news paper.) of all parties, and shouts of "You ic," and calling vile names, by tho post master editors, do not alter the fact.. Not Ashamed of Thoir Party. D.-s Moines register, 23: The sig nificant fact if the present campaign in Iowa is' that every strong man in the republican party is on the stump for his party ticket and proud to defend his party's principles. The republican party also is so rich in strong men in Iowa that it can make a campaign of its own with out any outside help, as it is doing this year, and can besides loan some of its 6trong men for the help of the party in other states. The democratic party of Iowa is iu the campaign with such bad and shameless principles that the best men it has refuse to go on the stump for it, just as they refused to zo on the stump in the amendment campaign of ISS'i. Tliev could not do it then without de fending the saloon outright. They can not speak for the party this year without doing the same thing. Therefore they will not ppeak. As a consequence the saloon is hiring outside speakers, ns it did in 18815, to come and make the speeches for the democratic party. A i. - party has fallen to very law cstata when its bestmen and speakers are ashamed to go out in the daylight and advocate its principles on the stump: The death of Elilm D. Washburn which occur. vd at his homo in Chicago Saturday, is the close of the life of a great man, a man wdio had played! a rrreat part iu public affairs, lie was one of the most potent men who sat in con gress during i he troublous days of thr great civil war, and he fairly divided with Thaddeus Stevens the leadership of the war party. Behind the scenes no man's hands were more potential than his in Washington. lie was the intimate friend and conusellor of Lincoln, lie w.is tlu townsman of Grant, ami was Grant's clui. ii ion when the modist sol dier was unknown, securing for him the first important promotion and defeoding him steadfastly till opportunity devel oped the trrcnt oyneral that he was.

There were predictions last summer that the potato crop would be very poor this year, but the wagon loads which go into our grocers' cellars every day for winter market are anything but poor and vrcre all raised in Cass county. L. B. Brown, of Rock Bluff, was in the citr to-day and was a caller at the IIekald. He says the corn crop in his neighborhood is not as good ns rcpre- s i.ted.

A moment later a fashionably dresyed lady of perhaps 40 years in feature and 13 in attire entered tho room. "Good morning, colonel!" was her opening remark, and without waiting for a n-1i:rn of tho greeting she rattled on: -"I am so g!:s-.l to find you in; was dreadfully worried for fear you should bo absent," mid she fitted ln-r.-elf snugly into tho angles of a sedan chair.

And she arose from her chair v.ilh a e r.np, bobbed her head mechanically at the real estato man, and strode from the olliee v.ids a grenadier gait all out of keeping with l.e-r girlish eoitume. "AVhow!" softly r -marketl tho colonel, c.iier tho door had clo.?: il e 11 bis caller. "II -.v1s that for a breeze?

Some of this class of people never think of paying rent. AVhen the bouse in which they havo lived acquires a tenant they boldly go the rounds of the real estate men and ask for the chance to occupy a house in return for keeping it in order. Theso aro professionals of one tort. Another class, well known in the business, are professional beats. They obtain keys to a house and keep them for several days, dur ing which they live in the hou-'.e. By the time they return the keys they have obtained the keys to somo other residence, where t'.iey practice tho same scheme. They never rent unless positively forced to do so. They have an ielea that they are cunning and that: their practices are not known, but they are most of them like old landmarks and there is seldom a new face appears among them. They think they are beating us., yet in reality they Lave us tho trouble and cost of cleaning bouses that are left in a disorderly condition, for they naturally select the most attractive apartments to clean for themselves, and there fore leave the house iu a more presentable condition than when they first cuter it. Whatever they sleep o:i in an empty house is iutroduced after dark, when they remove it from their last cr.ir.pie.g place.

When be g.-ts 0:1 a larg-. daily, ho is ajit to baeomo a mere note; taking machine, and ho ia treated and esteemeot rs such. The result is that when there co;:k-p among reporters a man who can write "out of his own head," no use is mad-: of his capac ity. The chief reporter f.iuq '.3- uses l;i:n as a. machine, end tho man, if he be of any stam ina, retaliates by getting himself removed from tk.3 reporting staff to seme other 1 pa: t mont. Then when the occasion comes that a reporter is wanted to weiio original ccjiy he is either not there or he lacks the facility tLac comes from practice. The American reporter is different. Iu many cases -bo w ould be unfit to take Ids "turn in tho gallery"' or at a large public: meeting where the paper sends a corps for a five column verbatim r port. JI:3 shorthand is shaky cud, like David Copperfiold's, r puzzlo to himself.

In that year something like 20,000 of the dollars were coined; but it is a singular fact, as is now known, that net one cf them was in circulation. Yet the most valuable of all American coins are two 1S04 dollars, which aro now in well kao-.vsi collections. They are valued at ?2,00!J each. Chicago Heraldd liuried Treasure.
