After the 4th of March Dr.
Strait, who was defeated for rejection
in tho Fifty-sixth congress,
will resume hi8 former
jiractice as a physician, which he
2;are up six years ago to repre<ent
the Fifth district in congress.
l>r. Strait is taking his defeat
in a very quiet manner, being
rery willing, after six years' of
diligent service for his people to
(five up his place to a younger
man.
Dr. Strait has some very pronounced
ideas upon the leading
rpiestions of the day. In talking
about the acquisition of the new
territorial possessions of the
United States he said:
"The United States has begun
in experiment which in the end
will prove to 1)8 very eostly. We
have adopted territories and the
people which ere entirely worthless

islands in my opinion, can never

BO A HP OK CONTROL.
In their annual report to the
General Assembly, the State
board of control says:
The Governor, in his message
J to the General Assembly, has seen
tit to criticise the management of
the affairs of the dispensary by
the board of control. We make
no reply iu the spirit of criticism,
but are content to rely on a review
of the operation oi the dispensary
as our vindication.
During Mr. Trailer's administration,
covering a period of nineteen
mouths, the net profits of the
State, counties and town# amounted
to $125,328.40.
j During the administration of
Mr. Mixou; covering a period of
fourteen months, tho net profits
to the State, counties and towns
amounted to $313,974.08.
Total profits for noth those pe'
riods, covering thirty-three
months, $439,302.48.
During the incumbency of the
State board of control, a period
covering thirty three months
the KHiiio length of time as both
former administrations, the total
i net profits to tiio State, conn tie*
and towns have amounted to>fcH532
1 (J.i)5. This result has been obtained
at a considerably reduced
scale of profits and prices to consumers,
with a volume of business
increased but lilt ie.
At the very beginning of our
m-tn igcimuit we instituted the
?\ stem of competitive sealed bidding.
from which *ve have obtained
vary satisfactory results.
Basing the calculation on tins
actual price of the whiskey, oxelusive
of the internal revenue
law tax, we pay for X rye per
j cent less than Trnxlcr and lf> per
cent leas than Mixon.
1 We pay for XX rye 27 per cent
less than Frailer and 13 per cent
: leas than Mixon.
In XXX rye we pay 40 per
cent less than TraxUr, 23 per cent
j less than Mixon, or 53 cents less
per gallon than Thaxler, and 24
cents less per gallon than Mixon.
The difference iu beer and glass
is equally as great in our favor.
We are willing to risk n coin
pari son of the character or quality
of the liquotv we put on sale
with those of our predecessors,to
the judgment of the people who
consume the same.
We court your most careful inquiry
into all the details of the dis
pensary management, and are
ready to furnish any data you may
desire.
