Next in order 1s to get the people to ratity the people of the State against the | all powerful railroad monopolies of by our legislators. ing business in the State, no matter on how small ascale, has recognized by experience, the necessity existing | tor railroad legisiation. It is the tocsin that 18 sounded before every election, and we all know that the candidate with anti monopoly views and ideas, or at least the one who expresses such is the successful one. Bu', unfortunately for the interests ot the people their representatives have been but weak mortals at best, and yielded to the siren voice of the tempter, or perhaps the jingle of sil ver doilar was far sweeter to their ears than the plaudits of their anx- ious constituent. It 1s a well known tact that Missouri’ syeneral assemblies have been captured and controlled by the railroad lobbyists, sent to the State capital and maintained at the expense of the railroad company, at each successive sitting for years past. So well was this known that the people had begun to despair of ever gaining any aid from their legisla tors in ridding them of this vampire ot the trade world, that was growing tat on the blood ot its victims. It 1s the people, the consumer, that has this burden to bear, for wnile the merchant pays the freight he charges it up to that unfortunate class. It is being claimed by the enenvies of this bill, that if it passees both houses and becomes a law that it will stop railroad building in the State. We do not believe any such stuff. But, granting this to be tacts, must or ought the people to be sys tematically robbed by these wealthy and arrogant corporations in order Every man do- | | Berry Hadcock, the two Jacksons | and George Silvey and E.

Railroads will be built just so long as they pay a good dividend upon the capital invested, the same as any other enterprise, and there is no good reason why the legitimate tees for services rendered should not apply the same to rail roads as in other lines of business. We are glad to see a disposition permeating our present legislature to eliminate this mighty and growing evil, and we sincerely hope that there will be members enough in the house of sterling ingtegrity to resist the mighty influences being marshal- ed against them, by railroad lotby- ts, backed by money and brains. We know in part the workings of this mighty influence, but we say to our representative, Mr. Hinton, to stand fir and the greater the temp- tation, the greater the victory he has attained. Stand by your people now in thei hour ot need, and they will not forget nor torsake you in the future. You have done well so far, but now comes the great test, and the eyes of the people of Bates coun- ty are watching your every action, and you can stand forth with tha: welcome plaudit, well done taithful servant, come up higher, or you can be classed with that class who know their duty vet refused to do it. The Bald Knobbers in Greene county have again been at work and this time have succeeded in killing two inoffensive men and seriously wounding a third, and all because forsooth these men did not sympa- thize with their detestable organiza- tion. Last Friday night while young Eaton and his wife were at his tath- €r’s, with whom Charles Green lived, aparty of men went tu his house and broke open the door; not find- ing him at home they went to his father’s and with an ax broke open a window and smashed in a door, and began firing on the People inside. After killing the two young men Outnght, and seriously wounding old man Eaton, one of the mob left his shot gun in the house and in the j Morning a large hickory switch was tound in the yard.
