WEDNESDAY, JANUARY, 16, 1859 The Globe-Democrat declares ed- itorially and boastingly that the or- ganization of Knights of Labor has gone to pieces. Lhe president and sceretary of the Southwest Immigration society, says that Gaston Meslier, general passenger agent of the M. K. & T., has agreed to give low rates for ex eursions one day in each month, provided he can get eastern lines to unite with him in the matter. The managers of the Mo. Pacitic railroad have ordered a reduction of 10 per cent. in the wages of all em- ployes whose salary exceeds $100 amonth. The reasons assigned is the small earnings of the road. It seems a little strange that these little cuts always comes just after a presi- dential election. When the Record attempts to be facetious it becomes ridiculous. Its reflections on Judges Sullens and Levy this week, through his funny eorrespondent, is not only devoid of wit, but is coarse, vulgar, wholly un- ealled for, and will provoke contempt rather than mirth. eee The Press association of Missouri will hold its next annual convention at Nevada, commencing on Tuesday, May 2ist, 1889. At the meeting of the executive committee at Jefferson City last week, S. B. Speed, of the Nevada Mail, was elected recording secretary, vice J. H. Turner, of the Carrolton Record, deceased. ee Later reports trom the cyclone » that visited Reading and other por- tions of Pennsylvania last week places the fatality much lower than ‘was at first supposed. The number Killed in the Reading Silk mills not exceeding thirty, still it is bad enough and shows its fearful ravages are not confined by geographical lines. Gov. Morehouse stepped down nd out Monday noon and Governor rancis has taken his seat. The fo.mer has made a good, safe con- ®ervative executive and retires from ‘Office with the respect and esteem of : whole people. Gov. Francis “will make one of the most brilliant governors Missouri has ever known. esh from the mayoralty of a city, he brings with him the ‘eXecutive exprience combined with a iness ability which made him ne of the most successful business n in the state. He is young, en_ etic, ambitious to do his whole by and make a name that will live him. He will serve out the full m for which he was elected as ouri’s chief executive, with cred- Mand distinction to himself and reat advantage to the state. _— Atseems that the Kansas City pes and Post-Dispatch have not ped the fight on Governor Fran- @, but are now trying to stir up nism between the friends of governor and Senator Vest by isting that the former is after Mr. ‘a place in the U. S. senate. Da- R. Francis is governor of the tate of Missouri and until his term Office expires is not anaspirant for hing else, neither are his friends ing him for the senatorship as friends of Francis and Vest are tical.

There are several | ways in which this can be remedie laws one of which is the manuer adopted | by Mr. Newberry in giving the | county more of the finances, as her | er than those of the townships.

STOLE THE MAILING LISTS. We are in receipt of The Voice, the prohibition organ of New ing reading in explaining the man- ner in which the republican party through its leaders Quay, Dudley and Clarkson, stole enough of the prohibition vote to carry New York for Harrison. After arraigning the party leaders in the most scathing language, “as receivers of stolen property and abettors of thieves,” the Voice introduces them to the public as follows: “High-toned ladies and gentlemen of the party of virtue and sobriety, of temperance and morality; permit us to introduce to you: The Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay, senator from Pennsylvania, chairman of the re- publican national committee, and re- ceiver of stolen property; the Hon. James S. Clarkson republican dicta- tor of Iowa, vice-chairman of the re- publican national committee, and receiver of and negotiator for stolen property; the Hon. W. W. Dudley, personal representative of president- elect Harrison, treasurer of the re- publican national committee, and conspirator to abet and rewarda confessed thief. * * * * In the late summer and early autumn of last year a large number of sheets of the mailing list of The Voice were stolen from eur subscription depart- ment. These sheets were 108 in number, and contained the names of about 50,000 of our subscribers. * * * * Just before the elec- tion, The Voice’s business depart- ment received great numbers of com- plaints of a novel kind. Scores of our oldest and best subscribers wrote that they were receiving through the mail copies of the Voice within which republican cam- paign documents were folded.” The Voice then goes on and shows by sworn statements of two of its mailing clerks that they stole these mailing lists and sold them to Mr.Clarkson, with the knowledge and consent of Messrs. Quayand Dudley for the consideration of $250, and the promise of a future position un- der the government; publishes fac- simile copies of letters written by these parties to the thieving clerks, which are very interesting reading. Messrs. Quay & Co. no doubt worked on the principle that the end justi- fied the means, and such means welfare of his party, and the ndly to Mr. Vest or not. The ple of Bates county not only @ warm place in their hearts for ge Vest, but they admire his Mlity and are proud of him. It dtake a very stron him in Bates county. should send every man of them to years. _—__— | Maj.

Mr. Francis took }up his headquarters in the office for- | merly occupied by Governor More- house. Senator Claycomb was inaug- uratec as lieutenant governor. State Treasurer Seibert walked through the door which opens between the audi tor’s und treasurer's office, and assum jed the duties now performed by Auditor Walker. Ed Noland will stay right in the treasurer’s office— only instead of being Clerk Noland he is State Treasurer Noland. Cap- tain Alexander Lesueur took the chair in the secretary of state's oflice which Mike McGrath has warmed for sixteen years. Colonel McCullough succeeds himself as Register of lands. John M. Wood the popular young lawyer from Kahoka, succeeded Attorney General Boone. Ed Robb will take the place of Frank Walker as assis- tant attorney general. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. Governor Morehouse, Secretary of State McGrath, Auditor Walker Attorney General Boone are the only executive officers who will re- tire to private live. The governor will resume his realestate business in Maryville. McGrath has not yet determined what he will do. Mr. Walker will live on his farm in How- ard county and Attorney General Boone will resume the practice of his profession in Clinton. Eugene Wilkerson now in McGrath office, will be Ed Noland’s chief clerk. Albert O. Allen of New Mad- rid will be Auditor Seibert’s fir st as- sistant. Bob Yost of the St. Louis Republic will be Secretary of State Lesuer’s chief clerk, with Tom Park and Major Vodgesto help run the office. General Harding will be sec retary of the railroad commissioner. Mike Fanning will continue as Mr. Francis’ private seeretary. The Revision Plan. Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 10.—The joint committee on revision have finally agreed on a plan of revising the statutes. Mr. Sebree of the house committee reported the plan | to the house to-day. The plan which will probably be adopted by both houses without opposition is to cut up the old statutes and reintro- duce every law now on the books in the regular way, and then refer them pride at heart will ee his {2° penitentiary for at least ten | to the regular standing committees ection, whether he be personally | ~ | of the two houses.

Jefferssou City, Mo.. Jan. 14.— The Hon. D. R. Francis was duly inaugurated governor of the state of Missouri at 11:30 this morning. The governor elect and party arriv- ed at Jefferson City by special train at an early hour this morning. The governor was accompanied by his wife, brothers and other relatives and a number of prominent St. Louisians. The weather was very disagreeable, with heavy 1ain and some sleet. There was no parade or show, the inauguration being the simplest admissable under the law which requires that the governor of the state take the oath of office in the presence of the representatives of the three branches of the govern- ment, the legislative, judiciary and executive. What the State University needs more than anything else, is to have its management de-localized. State institutions will be largely failures in their management, both as to ex- pense and contemplated results, so long as the communities in which they are located recognize in them legitimate victims for spoils. And they will be considered subject to spoils, so long as the state lets them out to the highest bidder. That is to say, locates them where they can | organ of the body. get the largest donation from any town or city. The State should de localize her state instiiutious and then quit playing pauper. 1 ask- ing for local aid, which always costs many times more than it comes to. | —Clinton Democrat. | Mi nul ik Hl i 3 I: (i $e BOW on earth. order from viein- Py ai Caines, Coe ae eed index and | An Apparently Malicious Persecution | PHATON OR CARRIACE, GO TO BENNETT, WHEELER & CO, which went up by appeal to the Su- | was reversed at the October term, | Frank | REST IS rm Or Tf you wa S It you want the best HAY IF YOU WANT THE BEST TOP BUGGY, SPRING WAGON, IF YOU WANT THE BEST Binder, Mower or Combined Machine, On the market get the BUCKEYE of, BENNETT, WHEELER & CO. ant the best Farm Wagon be sure and get the HUTTLER, MITCHELL OR STUDEBAKER» RAKE, ROAD SCRAPER.
