Iris e tunatod thataeve y two American citizens are worth the colos sal mm of 1,443 million dollars. This is just 33 million dollars in nxcess of the total money circulation of the United States , according to the last Treasury statement. t _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ } Moral sentiment is slowly , perhapp , but nevertheless surely , growing in America , which shall eventually close the saloons , on Sunday at least , through out the length and breadth of the best country upon which the sun of heaven has ever shone. Any assumption of the prerogatives of tho congressman , by Congressman Laird's atttendant , ( not clerk , ) should be met with emphatic action. Imper tinence and presumption of such mag nitude should be promptly squelched. The second district is in distress enough by reason of its congressman's illness * , without being subjected to the regime of a ' 'chamber man. " Chicago is having a hard time in se curing the old Libby prison which , was " bought by a syndicate for the purpose of being taken down , packed up and re moved to that city and set up as a show place. The building was duly disman tled and loaded on to a train of cars and started for its destination. Somewhere in Kentucky the train collided with an obstacle , went all to pieces and the building material was scattered over a large extent of right of way. The peo ple resident in the vicinity are picking up the bricks and fragments of timber and carrying them home as relics. Burrows the raan-afraid-of-his- , - - - - mortgages , after meditating two or three months upon the handling the legisla ture gave his report that there were mortgages on Nebraska farms to the amount of $150,000,000 , now comes to the front with a declaration that Sen ator Stewart of Nevada made nearly the same report in a speech a year ago. Doubtless Stewart had the same author ity for his figures that Burrows has. He guessed they were big , because he he wanted to use the assertion for an argument . for some fool theory of polit ical economy. The statistics of the guessers are always very amazing. The Arkansas ballot box thieves have been caught. There is no money in the treasury of the United States court to try them this term , so they say they have been putunderbonds to the extent of from $1,200 to $2,000 each , and ma } ' be tried some time. There arc five of them , and they are all leading citi zens and highly respectable. According to the democratic leaders in that state , they are the fellows who murdered Col. Clayton. If they are , it would have been : well to make the bonds a little higher. Probably some of the gang did the deed or hired it done , for it was be cause ' the colonel was on their track that they wanted him out of the way. Here is the way Bob. Ingersoll puts it : "Here is a shoe shop. One man in the shop is always busy through the day always industrious. In the even ing he goes courting some nice sirl. ; There are five other men in the shop that don't do any such thing. They spend . half of .their working evenings in dissipation. ( The first young man by and ; by cuts out these others and gets a boot and shoe store of his own. Then | he ] marries the girl. Soon he is able to : take ' his wife out riding of an evening. The five laborers , his former compan ions , who now see him indulging in tlrs luxury , retire to their neighboring sa loon and pass resolutions that there is an eternal struggle between labor and capital. " Bev. Hugh O. Pentecost has been preaching some doctrines not found in the ; bible nor backed np by the facts of of the . He is history or present. report ed to have said , among other similar things , "that the laboring classes are now entirely hopeless in the hands of the Citpitalistic class. " This is sensa tional and absurd ; a pessimistic view of the situation. The fact is that the la borer as a rule never received so much as now for his work , never worked so few hours as now , never could buy as much of the necessaries of life for his wages as now , and never was so inde- , pendent as at the present time. The world is growing bettor , in spite of such preachers , and along with the .general improvements the condition of the labor ing man improves. It isn' t what it ought to be yet , but the tendency is in the right direction. The postal service of the United States ought to be advanced to the highest degree of efficiency before the reduction to one cent for a letter is en titled to serious consideration. The country is constantly growing and the accommodation of new settlements and their connection with the rest of the ' world in a reasonably convenient way , ( calls for constant changes and exten- ' ' sions that involve increased outlay. ( That this government can maintain a ' ' postal service at two cents is a high ' compliment to the general intelligence of the people , for only an incredible ' business would render it feasible at ! those figures to cover a territory so im mense and a population so scattered. The advantage of the reduction would be small compared with the advantage of a general increase in the number of i mail deliveries in outking settlements • extending over thousands of miles of Border. The views of the postmaster ; general on this question arc sound. f A GOLD WATCH FOR ONLY ONE DOLLAR Per Week , by our Improved Club System. Tho Cases in our Watches are fully Warranted for 20 years.
