WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5, 1837- Tennessee has voted down local option by a large majority. —_—_——__——_- President Cleveland is having glorious weather for his St. Louis visit. Under the poticy of President Cleveland, twenty one million acres of land, given away by republican administrations, has been restored to the publicdomain. This is sufficient territory to furnish about one hun- dred and thirty thousand settlers with farms of 160 acres each. This 8 genuine reform. SSS Sees Our skepticism of providential in- terference has been considerably shaken in the past week, when we consider the inclement weather giv- en the G. A. R. reunion contrasted with the beautiful, life-giving sun- shine tendered to Grover Cleveland, the beloved President of the people. The Fates are sometimes hard but always just. .—e™e"ENN""""_T“§’§"™_—' Boston Corbett, the man who shct John Wilkins Booth while he was surrounded in a barn with no possi- ble means of escape, has been de- clared hopelessly insane, and taken to the Kansas State‘Insane Asylum. Corbett has imagined ever since the tragedy that the friends of Booth would assassinate him, and his mind gave way under the strain. SSE The Grand Lodge of Masons, of Missouri, will hold its annual con- clave in St. Louis October 10th. It promises to be one of .the most ex- citing meetings in the history of this body, as the recent edict of Grand Master Geo. R. Hunt to enforce the cule in reference to the expulsion of saloon keepers from the order will be thoroughly debated. —_——— O.ing to the continued wet weath- er, the Kansas City Fair has been postponed to Monday, October 10th to 15th inclusive. During that week will occur the “Priests of Pallas” parade, the visit of President Cleve- tand, and the Exposition will be Open to visitors. Additional at- tractions, exhibits and a splendid race meeting will make the postpone- ment of the fair of mutual interest amd benefit, both to the association and visitors. —_—_————S—————— Judge John P. Rea, of Minnesota, was elected Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic at the St. Louis reunion last week. The name of Gen. W. H. Slocum, of New York, « brave man, a gallant soldier and a true gentleman, was before the order for that office, but he had no chance of success from the start, as his political views were not such as would harmonize with the vast ma- jority of that order, he being astron democrat. His friends should not have submitted his name. EES? Following close on the “expose” by Ignatius Donnelly of Shakespeare, in which he claims to have discover. ed, through the agency of a key, that tand poet, the Homer of coun fairs. Of this fact Prof. Poncratius ‘O'Connelly claims to have found con- vincing proof. He takes “A Psalm of Life” for the key in this wonder- ful expose. It is well for the liter- ature of our day and the reputation ; and honor of those great minds that have contributed so much to make this literature what itis, that the va- The continuous ovation tendered President Cleveland from Washing- ton City to St. Louis speaks in 2 more eloquent langua h that cou'd possibly be written or spoken, of his great popularity with | the great masses of the people, not only asa president who has the courage of his convictions to do his whole duty, regardless of the conse- quences to his individual interests, but as a man fresh from the people, of the people, sacrificing all things for the good of the people, whose servant he has the distinguished hon- orto be. He isatrue American in every sense of the word, faithful to every tiust imposed upon him, loyal to his oath, to his office, to the peo- ple and to the government, one in all. He has been tried from the smallest to the greatest and has not been found wanting in any respect. He is incorruptible, truthful, cour- ageous and the people show their love for Grover Cleveland while they honor the office he holds. His visit to the west has no politics in it and he positively refuses to al low it to be brought up, in spite of the efforts of a few of the ultra par- tisan papers. He passed through Ohio in the night, when by going through in the day time and collect- ing large crowds he could have been of material interest to the democratic party that is now fighting a bitter fight in that state. He comes by urgent invitation from the western people to visit them in their homes, to see the vast resources of this sec- tion of country with its rapid im- provements, its great and growing wealth. The west is proud to re- ceive as its guests Grover Cleveland and his estimable wife, and it is to be hoped that these distinguished guests will meet with no mishap that will in the least tend to mar the pleasure of their stay among us. The presidential party was in St. Louis the first of the week, from there they go to Chicago. They will arrive in Kansas City on the night of the 12th and spend the 13th in that city. An Upright Judge. Judge White, of Kansas City, is made of the right kind of material. Friday a jury in his court tried a fiend named Snyder, for attempting to ravish a girl seven years old. He was convicted and sentenced to six months in the county jail by the jury. The clerk had scarcely finished read- ing the verdict when Judge White, frowning angrily, thumped violently on the desk and exclaimed: “Mr Clerk, read that verdict again!” The verdict being read, the judge inquired, “So say you all, gentle- men of the jury?” The answer being in the affirmative the judge said: “Gentlemen, I shall take the liberty to set your verdictaside. Ifyou had found the defendant not guilty I should have nothing to say, but when you find him guilty and assess the punishment at six months, you perpetrate an outrage. If you think men may take female children from the cradle for the purpose of gratify- ing their lustful desires, and then escape upon an imprisonment of six months, you are a disgrace to the § | civilization of the day. You will all now be discharged from attendance The jurors sheepishly made for the courtroom doors. The case now stands as if it had never been tried, and another trial will be necessary. Snyder was recommitted to jail. A large crowd was in the court room, and the summary action of Judge White was applauded.
