| |The silver question is thus very plainly stated by Dan McDonald, of the Plymouth Democrat: “Suppose the government sbo’d take a notion to pass a law that no more winter wheat should Leased for bread. Would tnat to advance the price of spring wheat? Of course it w uld. Then after twenty years, after it had gone down in price one half, the gov > ernment should repeal the act pro hibiting the use ot winter wheat. Would that not have a tendency to raise the price of winter wheat and lower the price of spring wheat, and bring the two grades of wheat on a parity? Of courss

South Bend T' mes: It is idle to talk about a business boom in this country so long as ihere are thousands or men who have uot yet been able to find employment. It is a mere delusion that can do no possible good. The immense crops of this country, the great output of our mines, and the revival ot our manufacturing industries have wroukht a marked improvement, but to talk about a “boom" is the veriest nonsense.

Attorney Frank Davis, of JJo l > rocco, has entered into partnership in the practice of law with Capt. R. W. Marshall, and will become a resident of this city at an early day. Sid Schanlaub, in his Courier, gives vent to his pent up disgust in the following wail: “The question as to how far a Serson can see with the nakec eye epends largely upon the direction he is looking. For instance, the steeple on the new court house at Rensselaer can be seen from a short distance east of Morocco, but, I gad, sir, you may stand at Rensielaei and look until things swim b.fore your vision and you can’t see any court house steeple at Morocco.— As we said, it depends a heap on the direction in which you look.” Marie, the four-vear-old daugh ter of A.
