Ad Indiana lawyer, who has been
looking tip the matter a little, find8
that there are 800 dead laws on the
statute books of that State, every
one of which can be taken advan
tage of by a tmiart lawyer.
. The present indications are that
O rover Cleveland will be nominated
at St. -Louis by acclamation, and
that Maj. Stedman'ts nomination for
Governor is next door to a sure
tiling.
fcar Chancellorsville, Va.. on the
10th of this month, the ceremonies

of the great Confederate commander
are expected to be present.

There is a big shortage in the
Winter wheat crop and the esti
mates now are that it will fall off
50,000,000 to 80,000,000 bushels in
four leading States. California will
lose 50 per cent, and Ohio, Michi
gan, Indiana and Illinois show a de
crease Cf about one-half of the usual
crop. ....
Stedmaa for Governor.
The nomination of Maj. Stedman
for Governor is reasonably certain
and the Press is heartily glad of It.
His promotion to the Governorship
would be not only a simple act of
justice to the man, who has deserv
ed It by his devotion to his party,
who would so brilliantly lead the
partv to victory and who would fill
the office with such .dignity and
ability as would reflect credit upon
the state, hut it would be likewise
an act of justice due to the young
Democracv of the State upon whom
bay devolved the more onerous du
ties of every campaign, who have
borne the brunt of every battle and
who have never flinched from any
duty, and of whom Maj. Stedman is
the bean ideal ami the recognizea
leader.
It is conceded that ttie nominee
must be on Eastern man and it is
but lust that the West give the peo
nle of the East the man they want
and that man, if the expression of
preference by the conventions of
nearly all the counties of the East is
Jto be the guide, is undoubtedly Sted-
iman. xaitsouiy I'rcss.

Sobuiltted for What it is Worth. .
The Seventy-first Regiment of
New lork" are making up a pro
gramme to visit Richmond early in
July and. we cannot but think that
if we could get them Jt!me their
visit so as to come South about the
time of our Encampment -and then
come on here and hav us a: visit it
would be the rbest card-we could
play. If it can be done at all it can
be done very easily. It is but i
seven hours' ride from Richmond to
this citv and the cost say two-
thirds of a cent a mile, would be a
mere bagatelle to .those New York
fellows. We submit the suggestion
for what it may be worth.
Very Good Reasons. P
The reasons why you can be ben
efited by buying from the King
Clothier, S. H. Fishblate: You are
in a Reliable House. A large assort
ment to choose frdiu. A saving of
20 per cent. All goods steam sponged.
Exclusive styles sold by him only.
Allgoodsgnarauteed sewed with sil&4
His stores are . well lighted by' "day
and night and you can see what you
are buying, plenty of light -being
the most essential thing for buyers
of Clothing. If you are not satisfied
with any rf article purchased from
Fishblate's return the same and he
will cheerfully, refund you your
money. With the above plainly be
fore you how can you refuse to trade
with a house of that kind. ;, tf
