C. M. Walker, chief clerk of the postoffice department cards the newspapers to deny the statement that the "Louisiana lottery was being per secuted while the ones in Kentucky go free." Mr. Walker Bays:

The "persecution" of the Louisiana lotteries consists In au attempt to enforce the law. No lotteries In Kentucky have been permitted to go free. The old "Com monwealth Distribution company" has been debarred from the use of the malls lor the last two years, during which time the Louisiana lottery was accorded spe clal privileges. The rocent action of Post' master General Uresliain swept away the ,barrlor of technicalities which had been raised for the defonse of the Louisiana lot tcry and plaoed that conccrn on the same footing and under the same ban with the

Kentucky lottery. The Henry county lottery, of Louisville, Is an attempt to re vlve the old Commonwealth Distribution company under a new name. The Henry county lottery will hear from the postmaster general in due time* ——1—

Governor Crittenden of Missouri, is capable of having more ambition for political, preferment than any man public lite, and this leads him to do many things against which his better judgment must revolt. Realizing the power of Frank James and his follow ing in Missouri politics, the governor has taken a step in the latter's behalf which is Bimply an outrage. The fed eral authorities are after James, and the governor is telegraphing to Washington to have the United States capias for Frank withdrawn. The PostDispatch referring to this effort says: "Once in the custody of the United States, Frank is Bure to be tried in some cold, unsympathetic jurisdiction outside of Missouri, and where he cannot have the governor of the state as a witness for him and an ermined associate of the Supreme court judges detailed to defend him. A trial without such aids means certain conviction, and after he is convicted in Alabama of robbing a United States paymaster, the United States may take a notion to surrender him to Minnesota for trial on the more serious charge of Tobbery and murder. "It is to save Frank from this that the governor wants to hold him as a sort of paroled prisoner under the protection of a batch of Missouri indictments. The governor says these •will be prosecuted in good faith, and there is no doubt about that, so far as Prosecuting Attorney Wallace is concorned. But what can he do against the political influence so conspicuously arrayed on theside of the prisoner 7

He found a little mouse. «A merry Christmas, little friend, 'f Said 8anta, good and kind, '•The same to yon, sir." sala the mouse. "I thought yon wouldn't mind

"If I should stay awake to-night And watch you for a while." "You're very welcome, little mouse,"

Said Santo, with & smile. And then he filled the stockings up Before the mouse could wink— From toe to top, from top to toe,

There wasn't left a chink. •Now, they won't hold another thing," Said Santa Claus with pride. A twinkle came In mouse's eyes, p«s

But humbly he replied: £§K£ "It's not polite to contradict— ^4%. Your pardon I ImploreBut In the fullest stocking there ftfes

I could put one thing more." "Oh, ho!" laughed Santa, "silly mouse, Don't I know how to pack? itocklngs all these years, have learned the knack."

From where it hung so high. And said: "Now putin one thing more I give you leave to try."

The mousle chuckled to himself, ''J~And. then he softly stole lilght to the stocking's crowded toe

And gnawed a little hole! "Now, If you please, good Santa Claus,/' I've put In one thing more: For you will own that little hole

Owing to large exportations of fine cattle the supply of Christmas meats in the eastern cities is scarce, and prices

In the last five years the sales of the public domain amounted to $62,331,770 acres, and during that time sales have increased 150 per cent.

We have not heard of our old friend Captain Howgate, lately. Possibly the captain has gone north, and is spending the winter quietly at "Symmes' hole."

Many persons who emigrated efcrly last fall to the new towns in the far northwest now wiBh themselves back on the old stamping ground. But the snow is a little too deep for walking.

George W. Bain, the temperace adcate, says that of 100 persons who suffer from sunstroke, 95 are users of alcoholic ^liquids. Mr. Bain should save his argument for next summer's use.

It is no discredit to our country that people have come from Europe as paupers and returned rich to spend their money. The discredit is on Europe and those "assisted" emigrants themselves.

What we wish to know is whether Mme. Colombier, who was walloped by Sarah Bernhardt, is any related to Colombior the Gem of the Ocean, or that other popular female, Hail Colombier?

Miss Ella Wheeler has commenced writing poetry for Demorest's Fashion Monthly, a fact that would seem calculated to lead one to suspect that the decollete style of drees is about to come in again.

As the old Democratic Bhip flounders like a cow in a frog pond, thesplrituelle form of Benjamin F. Butler walks out upon the waves and reassuringly remarks, in tones of ineffable tenderness, "Be not afraid it is I."

We have it upon the authority of Deacon Richard Smith that William S. Holman is one of Dana's jokes. It seems that this Mr. Dana is capable of a very bad joke once in a wlnle, just like any other daily newspaper humorist.

Mme. Sarah Bernhardt is evidently planning another raid on America otherwise what could have induced her to thwmh Mme. Colombier? Perhaps Sarah has a notion of coming over here and tackling Mr. John L. Sullivan. "Mankind will learn with immense relief that the call of the crown prince of Germany upon the pope of Borne has been arranged without straining the delations of the German empire with the kingdom of Italy," says the New York Times. It should be said, in this connection, that the demand of the crown prince that his pork Bhonld be properly done was not an unreasonable one. The Italians were, of course, «hrewd enough to 9M ibis.

COMSTOCK OBTAINS A VERDICT.

Young Mailer Declared Guilty of Selling improper Pictures.

New York Journal. August Muller's trial in the court of Oyer and Teminer upon the charge of having sold obscene pictures was included yeste^ Assistant D^act Attorney O'Byrne admitted that the photographs relied upon for CO® tionwere copies of pictures on exhibition in the Paris Salon.

Logan. Arthur and. McCook. gt George W. Hooker. Of course, after General McCook's selection by the senate caucus as the candidate for secretary I stood no chance for the nomination for ser-geant-at-arms, but I should have won if the secretary had come from some other state.

of the papers are trying to make it appear that McCook's success was a slap at President Arthur. It had no such meaning. Ninety per cent, of tlie_senators who voted for McCook are friendly to the president. General John A. Logan undoubtedly believes he can be nominated and elected president. He has the "bee in his bonnet"—a whole hive of 'era. But no candidate talked of as yet is as weak in this state, where the real fight next year is to be, as General Logan. His persistent attacks upon General Fitz John Porter injured him in this state. Porter led about ten thousand New York soldierB during the war, and, whether he was or was not guilty of treason, they still swear by him.

Stock Gambling Congressmen. Washington Letter. The winter before Garfield was inau gurated it was no uncommon sight to see a dozen members gathered about each tape when the matket began, and watching the quotations as largely as a Wall street broker. Then they would rush off to give their orders. There has been a suspicion, too, that bills have been introduced to bull or bear the market, and it used to be quite a sight on bill day to see the rush of the speculative members to the telegraph office to buy or sell on the strength of a bill. Two years ago there was a postal telegraph bill put in one rooming, which explained to the New York brokers why they had received so many orders two hours before to sell Western Union. Those who know say that congressmen are getting very shy of Wall street. Too many of them have been badly bitten, and too many have lost all faith in Wall street human nature.

Villard in Washington.

Washington Letter to the Springfield Re publican. It is a rumor here that Villard's bank account has been swelled by a good deal of Washington money. Every body here, excepting Brady, of star route fame, who dealt in stocks, seems to have been bitten by the drop in the North Pacifics. Brady made a fortune by it. A good many congressmen were hurt and they feel ugly about it. An ex-senatOr who got a point from Villard paid $20,000 for the knowledge a newspaper man dropped pretty much all he had into Villard's coffers, and even some of the directors were badl bitten. There will be a raid on Nortl Pacific land grant in revenge for this, and other hostile legislation will be attempted. Villard, they say, does not care now whether school keeps or not,

Where it all Comes Front. Vincennes Sun. The hank statements of Chicago, on the first of October, told the story very simply, yet with almost dramatic force Three bankB reported deposits aggregating the enormous sum of $25,000, 000, and all the other institutions of the kind made a similar showing. Whence came all that money From Vincennes and other fool towns that bet on the other fellow's game, and lose right straight through, as a matter of course. We know some of our local grain gamblers have occasionally made money one or two have come out at the end of certain years as much as four or five, or perhaps twenty-five or thirty thousand ahead but not one, so far as we can discover, is permanently a gainer.
