FRIENDSHIPS TRIBUTE. Hon. R. M. Yost on the Death of Major John Edwards. N. Edwards is dead. which Maj. John N In the estimate of human life disposition weighs most and is most | its warp men and character, sublime which carries in and woof the woven threads of char- | ity and chivalry, of gentleness and} courage, of devotion to principle and duty, commingled with that fellowman which is womanly tenderness and grim in its deter- mination. And such a disposition had John Edwards. There was not more of the rich purple of fruition in the great grades of Eschol, carried on men’s shoulders out of the land of Canaan, than in the blood of this he- roic, childlike gentleman. No mat- ter of what society nor under what circumstances he wrote or spoke, he had that kindlin nature, that splendor of courtesy which harmed no man without a just and sorrow- ful cause. And amid all the brilliant and beautiful things which found their way from into human hearts there one sting of malice, of envy or strife. Though preminently 1 man of peace though born for the contemplation of sylvan shades and nights of June: though nutured by the velvet hand of poesy and surrounded through life by convoys of cherubic thoughts, - John Edwards rode down with the guns on many a_ hard-fought battle field and smiled at the skeleton of death beside him, and rattled its dry bones with no more thought of fear than has the prattling child amid a field of clover blossoms. And if he had ever contemptated a time to die he would have chosen yesterday as that time. The birds of spring were chirping under his window; a golden flood of light had burst upon the world and the green woods, flushed with sunshine shadowed here and there, sang the praises of natue and of nature’s God. It was a peaceful hour, and when the great soul sped away to its ha ven of rest the time and the hour were rich with the weight of duty done. There will be tears in every house- hold in Missouri over the death of John N. Edwards. Tears for the man who loved the children and the soldiers. Tears for him who rode borted and spurred into the en- emy’s guns and turned to weep over the dead comrades who laid down their lives beside him. Tears for the journalist who knew neither fear _ nor malice. Tears for the patriot who hated nothing more fiercely - than treachery and cowardice. Tears for the neighbor and friend whose hospitable doors stood always open and whose hand, ever extended in generosity to the poor, the friendless and the outcast, never closed upon adishonest dollar. Tears for the husband and father, at whose grave will weep not only a loving wife | and children, but the wives and | shildren of all men in this broad | Btate who love virture and its de- | fenders. Tears to-day and to-mor- Tow. And then a blessed memory one who glided the sunshine f while he lived, and then went down to death with all the majestic calm- mess of one who lies down to pleas- ant dreams. | After life's fitful fever, he sleeps ‘well.—Robert M.

Take that place; I make the sacrifice for you alone.” “Mr. Lincoln said the man from Illinois, “I teli you that I want to be minister to Brazil, and noth- ing else.” Lincoln burst out laugh- ing, and, saidhe: “My old friend, you remind me of the fox who had been the victim of a land slide. While he was under a certain cliff the earth fell down and buried him, and he had to wait for weeks until the water washed him out, and he came out of that land slide famine stricken; his ribs were hollow. While he was in that situation, want- ing something to eat most desper- ately, a fellow fox came along who was fat and well to do. Said this second fox: ‘Neighbor, you do look mighty lean and hungry; suppose I get you a nice young gosling! I know where there is one for I have just had one myself.’ ‘No,’ said the other, I don’t want any gosling.’ ‘Then, said the fat fox, ‘suppose I get youa nice ducklet. I can go pretty fast and get you the nicest young duck in all the district. Won't you have some duck?” ‘No,’ said the lean fox, ‘I don’t want any duck.’ ‘Well, my neighbor,’ said the well the world you do want in your present condition?’ The lean fox had been looking all this time up to the top of the cliff which had brought the earth down upon him and buried him At the top of that cliff was standing a fat, lusty bull. Said the lean fox, looking up: “I tell you what I want; I want t that bull's horns for a meal.’ ” in The Boston Herald thinks the fire } Platt and Miller, or at least ae Payne, O., may have been occa- sioned by Editor Halstead’s “incin- t have done to satisfy their servitors. | pereneoes It is not often that any single ity can turn out three real, genuine, Leavenworth, Kan., They were all three in the city ‘day. rosy as dawn. of | so | Here | MURDERED FOR MONEY.

Seth E. Thomas, seems to be the clock- a candid In an interview in a St. Louis paper, ich advocates high tariff taxes, the question was asked him: “Is the same article dearer in a foreign mar- ket?” And he replied: “No, cheaper. They (his clocks) sell on a very in. A clock that here at retail, we You can buy our na than in New where they are man. sir; close costs $7 or wholesale at $4. clocks cheaper in York or Waterbury, made.” “So,” writes an astonished reader, who buys his clocks for the latitude and longitude of Benton Station; “so it appears that the Chinese and Mr. Thomas are mutually benefited by the tariff on clocks, but where does my protection come in?” It come in in the fact that Mr. Thomas cannot sell his clocks more than 25 cents on the dollar in Ben- ton above the price in China. If he were protected to the extent of 150 per cent., as some other manufactur- ers are, he could give his customers in Pekin a much heavier discount from his Benton Station prices than he can at present. Mr. Thomas deserves credit for telling the truth in a plain and sim- ple way, but the truth was just as plain and simple before he told it. And it is plain and simple truth that under high tariff taxes on everything foreign trade in American manufac- tures cannot be built up except at the expense of the buyers at home. To begin with in Mr. Thomas’ case: He must sell in China or else- where outside of the United States in a free market—free as far as he is coneerned, because there is no law to prevent others from competing with him. This brings down his foreign price to its natural level. Then if he has paid this government a tax on his raw material he must get it back or lose his money Plainly he cannot get it back in Chi- na. His prices there are goyerned by the prices of manufacturers who pay no tax on raw material. He must come down and meet their competition, and to do it he must collect his raw material taxes from | his home customers. Benton Station buys a dozen clocks. Pekin buys janother dozen. Benton Station ;must pay the raw material tax on | both dozens, for Pekin will not pay {it on either. In other words, under mi | George W.

Wm. Roberts, M. D., Physician to the Manchester, Eng., Infirmary and Lunatic Hospital, Professor of Med- icine in Owens College, in speaking of kidney disease, says: “One-third die of eremic (uric acid) poisoning. A considerble number of dropsy. One-fifth from secondary pneumonia pericarditis inflammation of the heart sac), or pleurisy, exhaustion, indigestion, or the complications of apoplexy, hardening of the liver, bowel ulcers, ete.” The foregoing are only a few of the common symp- toms of advanced kidney disease, and this explains why Warner's Safe Cure cures so many different symp- toms, called diseases, and why it has such popularity. Ask your friends and neighbors about it. The New York Sun is too gener- ous. It places the population of Boston at 500,000. The Hub itself only claims 450,000. Boston is not boastful of anything except its gor- geous culture. Cornell university is one of the growing institutions of the country. Last year it put $400,000 in new buildings. When will the university of the Missouri Valley take shape? Now is the time and Kansas City is the place.
