Dennis uui'ed in recommending Mr. Kirsch to the govern op-fetv-that position, for which he ha^cminent qualifications. The legislature of Wisconsin have passed a bill prohibiting the wearing of or manufacture of hoops. This is a move in the right direction, The idea of a woman wearing these ninefoot hoops on the three-foot sidewalks of Petersburg. Well the men folks would have to take to the woods. Recipe for purging the peusiou list: Dissolve Uaum iu a full measure of oblivion, plat : liberal quality ot Jeffersonian honesty at the head of the bureau, pluck the bogus pensionaioners, strain out tiie rascally? pension agents, season to suit the taste of public sentiment and serve as soon gfter March 4th as possible. Will the organ of the city council pleaso state the reason why the fire commissioner was appointed, and then after so short a time why .he office was abolished. Didu’t a certain gentleman, whose uame need not be mentioned, take an active part in each matter? The gentleman in question need uot fly iute a rage pyer the query. Mrs. William C.

The new bill is iu substance that whenever 500 or more citizens sign a petition for an election, the board bf commissioners must grant the request and set a time for such election. A majority vote to decide the matter. The bill was defeated: Ocr able-bodied marshal would like the council to make an order that all teamsters should cleanpff the sidewalks over which they mij' drive their teams. This would make a splendid ordinance, and might do tiway with the offices of street comihyisiouer and town marshal. The council should have the city attorney draft an ordinance to that eflect #nd get action at once.

iHree weeks from tomorrow Groover Cleveland, the People’/ choice takes hold of the reius of the government. And it is safe to say that in three weeks thereafter resigations will not be in order. The age is being sharpened and heads will come off by the thousands. Pos'inasters Should take warning and send in their resignations at once before business is fully cjinmonccd. The change will occur. Get ready. IIon. Juhs Gilbert Shanklin, of the Evansville Courier, and Col. Albert Sparks, of the Mt. Vernon Democrat, are sojourning at New York this week. They have no doubt climbed the stories in the Mills building several times during their stay and walked out Lakewood until their shoes needed half-soling. Whether Gil and the Colonel are office hunting or not remains to be sSen, or whether they have just gone to enjoy the trip aud secure places for their friends. Secretary Ciiaiu-es Foster is shocking the country on the installment plan.

Tins able editor of ilia Netn is for* nitist any person or persons establish* iiiK another bank: in this city, claiming that it will not pay two banks to ‘tigitge in business of that character, liut insists that there is room for an>ther grocery, saloon or newspaper. l'he town now supports several very Stie groceries and that trails is very well taken rare of and to a certain exlent is overdone. The printing business would be able to-eland several more offices. Whether tluhe is room for anothe'0»ank in Petersburg wo are not able to sav, but if (here are parties who desire to start a bank, we say let ’em come. Banks may just as well have a fight on their handsas the groceries, livery stables, dry goods stores or any other brancli of business, The more the merrier. Should one manj or set of men control all of a certain Ijranch of business ill a town? Well, hardly. Competition is the Jifj of trade. The JITeiet editor ought Just as well say that one dry goods store, one grocery store, one clothing store, one hardware store, one drug store, or any other Single branch of trade is enough for the town. That might have held good forty years ago, but not today. We are in a progressive age and every business man who is alive and up with the times cares not how much opposition there is in his line of business, but with |renewed energy goes to work to build up a larger business, and while lie is up and doing other business men go to work and put forth efforts that bring better results lo the town and country. Such competition is what builds up towns. If Petersburg can stand another bank, grocery, drygoods, newspaper, or any other business, let ’er come, Business is business all the time. Petersburg has a bright future betore her mid it should be the aim of all cititens to help boom I lie town, bring in more trade, factories, and all other industries or branches of business whatsoever. IIon. A. N. Maktin, the distinguished congressman from the Eleventh district, has introduced a bill iuto the national house of representatives which is a terror to all repubiisan officeholders, who have been of ihe opinion that they were secure behind the civil service fraud, rhey will now make room for good, honest democrats, who will take up their residence in Washington City after the 4th of March. The following is the bill: Be It enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of Ameren In congress assembled, that whenever iny person who has held, now holds or hereafter may hold any position in the United States, under or by virtue of any appointment made o- now subject to an examiua;lon of such|appointce under the rules or regulations established by the president of the United States and the civil service commission of the United States, or either of them jr by any other public officer of the United states, pursuant to any.law of the United States concerning the civil service of the United States, for a period of four years, such person’s tenure of office shall be deemed to have terminated at the expiration of such [our years from the date of such appointment heretofore or hereafter made: Provided, howjver, that nothing In this act shall be construed so ns to prevent the removal of any such appointee at any lime: Provided further, that in calculating the time which any such employee has it chi or shall hold sssch serin of four years, all promotions orchaug;s of position or employment shall be includ Kf: Provided further, that any such appointee who has not already held fora period if four years may, on the completion of four pears, be eligible to reappointment under the ■ ivti service rules to the same or any other such position, but such reappointment shall not entitle suchj person to hold longer than Four years more, subject to removal at any Lime: Provided further, that any person Hereafter so appointed may, at the expiration >f such four years, be likewise eligible to reappointment under the civil service rules for » period of tour years, subject to removal at toy time: Provided further, that no such fw-rson shall be eligible to hold any such position for more .than eight years: And provided further, that any persou now bolding my such position who has held the same al ■ ready for a period of eight years or more shall not be eligible to longer hold after July fourth eighteen hundred and ninety-three.

President Harrison has nominated Judge! Ilowell E. Jackson, of Tennessee, to fill the vacancy in the United States supreme court caused by.the death of Justice DJQ.C.Lamar. Judge Jackson is a democrat and a gentleman possessing ability of high order. In 1880 he was elected to the Uuitcd States senate from Tennessee by the legislature of that state, and in IS86 was appointed judge of the U.S. circuit court, for the district of Tennessee, by President Cleveland. His appointment, which was doubtless suggested by president-elect Cleveland at Mr. Harrison’s request for such suggestion, gives general satisfaction to democrats, but is much re^ gretted by republican spoilsmen who wanted a member of their parly nominated. As our friend of the Press has promised to publish a full and itemized statement of the expenditures of the town of Petersburg, it would uot he amiss to publish the same next week. It is what the people want and should have at once. Como now, and do the subject justice. If there is no leakage the people want to know it. If there isn’t $1,500 out of $2,000 paid out iii salaries to the town officers and fire department, the people want to know it. Don't squirm. Again our republican friends'Trre done up. This time an independent seuator will represent Nebraska instead of a republican. Svhere wilj the result of Ilia November election bikI anyhow ? With a big fuss now on between President Harrison and Chief Mogul Clarkson the outlook is very favorable for a general breaking up the republican party. The Democrat is much surprised at mine of the senators who voted to kill off the legal printing of the souirtry publisher, bill who bad voted o make places for their relatives. 3reat reformers as long as it puts kekela in their pockets.

Got Her at Vincennes. “Do jvis remember ail the people yo sell tickets to ?” Thequestion was put by a lall.ttngu* lar man wbpse eyes were, red with weeping to t'hc night ticket seller at the O. Sf. M. station Washington last Monday evening. >' The interrogator was informed by the gentlemanly agent that a mental diary was not kept of all-persons purchasing tickets, but by straining the memory persons bearing peculiar distinguishing marks were sometimes remembered. ■ “Ah’ leddies—kin ye remember the leddies purty well !** The night agent blushed when he acknowledged that as a rule he remembered women better than any other class of travelers, and added that the reason was because they usually had more questions to ask and fewer reasons for asking them. “Do ye remember ail the people— wlmmen, 1 mean—’at bought tickets last Friday ?” The agent promised to do his best in this line if his interviewer would describe the particular woman for whom he was searching. “She’s a middle-sized woman,” he said, "with a kinder lonely look, in her face; had on a dark woolen dress, a long cloak and a blue hat with a red feathor. Acted kinder green, I reckon. She usually do.” The agent remembered that a person answering in part the description had bought a ticket to Vincennes at that time. “Have much money with her?’1 questioned the man with an anxious ring in his voice. “I think she had seventy cents left after paying for the ticket,” replied the agent. “That’s her, begosh I” exclaimed the woman hunter. “She’s my wife, and when the notion strikes her to go all h—1 kayn’t 6lop her. She left lingers Friday ar.’-Gimme a ticket to Vincennes.” “Let.s see,” said the agent insinuatingly as he stamped thetieket, “your name is-” “Never you mind what my name is,” interrupted the angular gentleman. “taint got nothing to do with the case. You’ve put me 6^ the trail of my wife, howsomever, au’ I’m much obleeged to ye.” The agent received evidence yesterday that he had done the Rogers mail a good turn. He saw the angular gentleman assist a lady in a blue hat and red feather to alight from the O. & M. express and together make a bee-line for the E. & I. station. And thus one more Rogers “mysterious disappearance” was cleared up. Lecture on Brazil. Rev. D.

• The Bead Question. The prow of the state has Tor several weeks been filled with the proceedings of the recent road convention in Indianapolis. The report of the legislative committee, which was finally adopted by the convention, and which the general assembly will be asked to enact, is a radical departure from the present ■ system. In fact, it proposes to repeal the preseut road laws in toto and to substitute an entirely new system. It abolishes the office of district supervisor, aud also the functions now exercised by tbe township trustees in connection with roads. In place of these the commissioners oi each county arc to appoint a county superintendent of highways and one supervisor for each township. The supervisors are to have charge of the construct ion of roads in their respective townships subject to the control of the county superintendent; and-the superintendent aud supervisors in each county, In,connection with the civil engineer of any city in the county, are to couslitute a county board of supervisors of highways* which shall meet once a year to discuss improvements and fix the rate of taxation for road purposes. Road taxes are to be paid like other taxes and uot worked nut, and are to be fairly proportioned between cities and tbe country. Any. matter for the betterment of roads and streets should interest all good citizens. But there ,is an assumption on the part of some o'f tbe promoters of the meeting at Indianapolis that should be rebuked. Cities and towns and even thickly settled farming districts can make aud kgep up a few high class public highways, but all the roads cannot be so improved. It would 4® an expense too burdensome. The common dirt road will be a feature of every county in the state for many years. It can be tiled, graded and drained, but it will he a dirt road the best road nine mouths in the year. Roads which get tiie bulk of travel should be gravelled or stoned. The assumption referred to is that the country is behind the town in roads because country people do not know how to make good roads. There can be improvements in the road laws but they should not he made burdensome upon the country districts by compelling the building of a class of highways beyond the financial ability of the residents. The committee on ‘-Sabbath Observance” have been circulating their petition to secure for all one day of rest in seven. They need the co-operation of ail law abiding citizens as well as that of Cbristain people to make this effective. Many of the business men seem glad to put their signatures to this right movement while a few hesitate We want all to know that the position the ladies are- taking is to enforce a law as well as a moral and religious idea. See—Revised Statutes of Indiana respecting the tirst day of the week—part firsts page 375—section 2,000—“Whoever being over fourteen years of age, is found rioting, bunting, fishing, quarreling, at common labor, or engaged in bis usual advocatiou [works of charity and necessity exeeptedj shall be fined in any sum not more than one dollar.

Was Converted and Paid the Old Bet. Ten years ago Allen Talmadge was staying in Indianapolis. He got into an argument with a man and made a bet of five dollars on the point in dispute. Mr. Talmadge proved to be wrong and paid the five dollars. Afterward they got to arguing which was the longest river in the wprld, and Mr. Talmadge found; out that his river was the longest and went to the man for his money, but he refused to pay it. Mr. Talmadge abused him for taking his money and refusing to pay when he had honestly lost it. Mr. Talmadge moved hack to Georgia, and about a week or two ago got a letter from the man asking for his address, as he had a little matter of bugmfess with him. The address was sent, and Friday a letter came inclosing a check on New York for five dollars, and saying that he had been converted and thought it right to send the ainonntof the bet made ten years ago.—Athens (Ga.) Banner. From the Romans. “Put yopr right foot foremost” is a piece of advice that has been offered to most folk, young and old, in the course of their lives. It is generally equivalent to saying, “Now’s your chance; do your very best and' show what yon are capable of.” Like a great many common phrases this expression has an old origin. In the days of ancient Rome, when people were usually the slaves of some superstition or other, it was thought to be unlucky to cross the threshold of a house with the left foot first. Consequently a boy was placed at the door of the mansion to remind visitors that they were to pnt then- right foot foremost. The rise of |he phrase in the wider sense soon became obvious.— Lewiston Journal. Dancers of Bathing* In a Big River. Few people are aware of the danger of bathing in the Mississippi.
