Indifference to us, whether the Dem

Railroad meeting-. A meeting was held at the Court House, on Saturday afternoon, to take initiatory steps to get the people to cast a vote upon the question of texr.tion to aid the building of a railroad to Bloomfleld, in Greene county. Paris C. Dunning was chosen to preside over the meeting, and earnest speeches were made by a number of the gentlemen present. The meeting resulted in the selection of a committee of five, to draw up a petition tc- the County Commissioners, asking that an election may be held in the county of Monroe, to determine whether the people favor an appropriation by taxatian, to the road projected. The committee chosen,was composed of the following named gentlemen : Eli Milieu, Henry Eller, Geo. M. Chase, Dr. Maxwell and J. B. Mulky. One hundred signatures to the petition, is the number required by the new railroad law, to secure an order from the County

Board for an election. If the vote

of the county should result against the appropriation, the townships through which the road is designed to run, can vote upon the proposi

tion :he petition requiring the

signatures of twenty-five freeholders,

in each township.

Bloomington, all would have been well. This is the measure of our sinning. WI1U3 we shall endeavor to take cognizance of the improper positions maintained by the Democrat, when it suits our convenience, we propose to keep oui temper. Our high -tempered frier d should look to the Bibl? for a parallel c::se. He will there find that in olden times an individual put out his strength, and pilled down a structure, but was himself buried in the ruins ; and if his advocacy of outside competition should injure local business, he may feel the effects of his ruinous policy, as well as our business men.

of the people object to being taxed for a railroad, because tlv;y are distant from the line of thi proposed road, and their land will not be enhanced in value as mucli as if within two or three miles of it. Well, if the land on "the line of a railroad has its saleable: value more largely increased than has laud more distant, and in that respeci does profit more largely c r more immediately, still it has its burdens too; for, its taxable value is increased by the same cause, more largely than is that of the lands lying more distant, and therefore its owner must pay heavier taxes Blackberries are hawked about "the city," i the very reasonable price of five esents per quart.

Railroads add to the population of a county, and an increased population necessarily brings business and money. Purchasers for. and consumers of the farmer's products, constant work for the laborer, a demand for the mechanic's skill, additional customers for merchants every calling is benefitted, and the property owner is paid one-third more for his property frequently double the amount asked before railroads are certainly determined upon, or finished If you woidd "put money in your purse," work for the railroad appropriation.

By reference to an advertisement, it will be seen that the old firm of Leffler & Rice, has received the addition of a partner, Mr. J. W. Sprowle, of New Albany. The firm is now Leffler, Rice & Co., and the business of Milling and Produce purchasing will be carried on more extensively than heretofore. Read the advertisement and then take your Wheat to the Bloomington Mills.

Farmers for Legislators. We notice a growing disposition upon the part of the Press of this State, to favor, at the next election, the choice of farmers for Representatives and Senators. The people

have become thoroughly disgusted with the habit of giving these positions invariably to lawyers, to the exclusion of every other class of citizens. At the sessions of our late General Assembly, but little business was transacted, except to change judicial districts nearly all legislation for the people, being ignored. There are intelligent and influential farmers in every county, who would reflect honor upon their constituents, in these positions, and who would legislate for the best interests of the people. It is not too soon to agitate this matter.

About the Railroad. We want to know a thing or two,

about the railroad. In the first j place, then, if we pay the L. N. A. & C. Railroad for building a branch to the iron mines of Greene county, how much competition will be created, and how much will freights be reduced? Some perstms tell us that if the road is built into Greene county, foundries and manufactories', will spring up, in our midst. Will, some of these, gentlemen inform us how it will be possible to sustain other manufactories, when, those wo now have are unable tp operate; because the freight tariff takes all, or nearly all the profits ? Now, we are in favor of taxation for the building of a railroad east and west, independent of the one we have not for the building of a switch to this one. If the L. N. A. & C. Railway Company sec fit to build a branch, let them do so with their own money. If the people of Monroe county pay taxes to build a railroad, let it bo an east an

wc:st competing line. vve must

have low freights to encourage man

ufi ictunng. We can never get these from a railVoad company, without

competition.

Then why should our ci'.izens send their money East to be loaned at 1 per cent to build up rival interests, when our own people want the money at 10 per cent interest, aad will furnish just as good eecuritv ? To concentrate capital at bomo, to develop the resources of OUR OWN COUNTRY, is a matter in which every Western citiien hat an interest. THE DESOTO MUTUAL t In maturing it? plans and. peculiar features, and in getting op tbe Policy the company issues, Eccured the aid of the highest mathematical ability tbey could obtain, and the experience und wisdom of those who have for years made Life Insurance a business aad a study. No life Insurance Company now before tho public stands on a more solid ad substantial bi.sis, than tbe Oe Soto Mutaal. The company stands pledged to i policy holders for $;fC0,0O0a sum double its cash capital. The stringent law nndsr which it was organized makes e ach stockholder liable for double the amount of His stock. Every company organized under tbe new and rigid laws of Missouri baye to make a depot.it with the Treasurer of State of $100,000, subject to the inspection and 'inder tbe supervision of the Superintendent of Insurance, whose duty it is to make an anna) report to the Legislature, showing the condition of all companies organised or doing buauHW in said State. The De Soto Mutaal . , We believe issues a BETTER POLICY than any company in tbe United States. It tea. plain, simple, short, yet comprehensive contract, not liable to the doubtful construction which characterizes many Life Policies, and does not make the usual restrictions OB travel.
