THE COURIER.
officer draws up a monthly report which
seems to be complete and satisfactory,
but is otherwise inefficient. Such con
duct of city affairs has reduced the
credit of the city and has beggared hun
dreds of citizens as the delinquent tBX
list shows. Such conduct deserves over
whelming rebuke at the polls on this
issue alone. Unwarranted extravagance
with moneys wrung from an impover
ished and tax ridden people can be pun
ished in one day, and that day is in No
vember and fast approaches. What
matter whether the men who have
wasted our substance are called repub
licans or democrats or populists? For
that they have done this thing the peo
ple are determined to show their dis
pleasure. Councilman Webster, sup
ported by a few other conscientious and
business- like councilmen, have tried to
oppose unwarranted expenditure in the
council but they have been voted down,
although their efforts have saved the
ci'.y many thousands of dollars. The
Cockier wishes never to be misunder
stood as criticising these faithful busi
ness managers of the city who still do
their duty, though it has gained them
the enmity of the parasites who prey on
our necessities.

WHENCE THE SUNFLOWERS CAME.
Mr. N. Yvadswortb, writing to the
State Historical Ecciety, says:
"Wherever a company of Mormons
were halted only for a short time gar
dens were made and the carding, spin
ning and weaving of cloth from the
wool clipped from the sheep, was car
ried on. They were strictly organized
under leaders. Over every ten wagons
was a captain of ten; over tifty, a cap
tain of fl'ty, and each hundred had a
captain of hundred. In addition to
horses, cattle and sheep, they had hogf,
chickens and geese, i or chicken feed
they carried sunflower seed, which had
een prepared in quantities at the diffe:
ent posts to which they were dispersed
after the burning of their temple at
NauvoD in 1846.
"Their camp firebeds made a rich soil
for the growth of tht sunflower, which
sprang up everywhere in their path
from seed accidentally or purposely
Bettered where they had camped. In
18G0 we readily knew when we were off
the Mormon trail by the lack of the sui
flowers."' The Best Shoe Made for the
