qj What It Means. Sedalia Democrats - It is not very difficult to develop the true meaning and full purport of the Prohibition address recently is- | Gratz Brown tor any office within | the people’s gift. st is wofully mis- | gued from St. Louis. It carries with it the impression of spoils, ot | bolters, and of political preferment. | Given—two lawyers, one preacher and two editors, witha petty griev- | 2uce—and you have all the concomi- | fants of a new party, that “‘will | sweep the country,” and press some | ef them into office. The St. Joseph Herald, ia common with oll Repub— ‘ican newspapers in Misseuri, is giving succor to the new encmy with 2 vast deal of shrewdness. It pro- tesses to be rather opposed to Prohi- tien itself, but it slyly suggests that ‘the battle lines for 1884 in this State are now clearly drawn, and Prohibition cause promises to row stronger from month te month s the election draws near.’’ But ¢ Herald betrays one great secret ot the movement when it say It may be accepted fact that the Protubitionists will place a State ticket in the field in 1$$4, with Chartes P.. Johnson as cheir candidate for Governor and either McMichael er Switzler for +.deutenant-Governor. Tt will be remembered that Chas. i’. Johnson was an ardent Republi- can until the hberal movement of +870, when he became Lieutenant- Governor as the representative ot the sore lement class of Radicals. Since that date he has gradually dritted in- te the Demecratic party, and has sought and received recognition as one ot the returning sheep of the tiouse ot Israel. Last summer he canvassed Missouri on behalf of the Democratic ticket, and made speech- cs everywhere that possessed the true cing of Democracy. But he felt that te was admitted only on probation, and that the offices in sight were re- setved only tor the faithful. He saw that his term of servitude was sunilar to that of Jacob, who worked seyen years en the threshing floor of Gaban to gain the coveted Rachel. Then he watched the Prohibition scheme, and becoming convinced that ithad a pessibillity of othcial preferment, Gev. Johnson severed the last link that bound him to De- suocracy and went over bodily to the enemy’s camp. Switzler was a Whig uatil the outbreak of the war, when he obtained the appointinent of Mil- ‘tary Secretary of Arkansas, which position he accepted and then cruel- a as a_ settled +y deserted. That's ali. there is of Switzler. He never had a Denio- cratic bone inhis body. As tor Me- Michael, he 1s a good newspaper man, but we have ne intormation concerning hts Democracy, and it is fair to presume that his influence has been scattering. This is the sert of «aterial out of which the Prohibition- ists propose to make a State ticket. So be it. But attention is turther directed to the following item, like- | wise from the St, Joseph Herald, The next Senatorial contest 1 Missouri will undoubtedly be con- fined to two candidates—Senatur Vest as the candidate of the whisky wing of the Democratic party, back- ed by the Cunfederate element, 8. Gratz Brown as the candidate of tae Prohibitionists, backed by “the “beral Democrats and Union men. H “Those who fancy that Vest will have | ne trouble in securing s re-election will wake up to areahzation of the} éaetthat Gratz Brown is bv no means avdead,horse.’’ ’ i Wher it is fairly -anderstood that | axyprime purpose of the Prohibition vovement in this State is the deteat won't be aja i a: ; f Senator Vest, there corpor, veket. The assertion of the Herald | ts berne out by the persistent refer- | ences to SenatemVest in the Prohi- ‘vitienraddress, showing thatthe or- sanizers regard him as a special tar- set, and accept him asthe champion > the opposition. That emphatical- \y settles the whole business. B. \ Gratz Brewn was nominated and |! vtected Governor ot Missouri by the} Laberals in 1870, and by . : ; reason of | 's political pusilanimuty he obtained | © nomination ot Vice President in | ‘372, becoming the tail te Horace Greeley’s kite.

Butit is some consolation to be advised et the details of the Pro- hibition movement, as a people tere- warned are always forearmed. A clergyman lately returned from Leadville thinks it the wickedest town in the world. In the first place the church which called him there lied to him in saying that there were 130 members, that the building would seat 500 persons, and that a parsonage was ready. The church seated 140 persens, there were fer-y- nine church members, and the pat- sonage had been sold and the church was society $900 in debt. Next to the church wasa blacksmith who was just as busy on Sundays as on week days. The minister had to go out just betore the sersmon and ask _ the | The blacksmith | blacksmith to stop. teldhim to go toa piace censider- ably warmer than Florida, and add- ed that he was working for 2 mem- ber ot his church. And sure enough there stood the treasurer of the church having his horse shod. A Chinese bride is a valuable piece of stuff, judgimg by the care that is taken et her after she hasbeen purchased and shipped to herowner. A prosperous Chinaman ot Bouldin island bought a daughter ot ‘‘Sonora George,’’ and she was started off in state into matmmenial captivity. The party were detained thirty days on the way to Stockton, during which time the bride remained with her head wrapped up in Chinese silks, which prevented her trom seeing anv one, and of ceurse ne one could. see her. At Stockton she rode alone in a carriage to the steagner, while boys with lighted tapers occupied a second carriage, and Chinese women filled a third hack. No men were per- mitted to be near. She was escort- ed aboard the boat by the party, and had no opportunity to: stray or be stolen. She had neve: seen her hus- band to be, and would be married to him before her face could be uncov- ered, according to Mongolian regu- lation. This is literally ‘‘going it blind’’ into the bonds of wedleck. A Vexed Ciergyman. Ev-n the patience ot job would become exhausted were he a preacher and en- deavoring to interest his auaience while they were keeping up an incessant cough- ing, making it impossible for him to be heard.
