WEDNESDAY, DEC. 1889. =a CITY MARSHAL. The city council last Thursday evening appointed R. G. Trickett city marshal. Theappointment was acomplete surprise to everybody, and much dissatisfaction was openly expressed on the streets. Mr. Trick- ett has been a resident of our city less than a year, is not a household er or voter, anda large number of our people do not know him by sight. The office of marshal is one in which our people are greatly in- terested, heis the guardian of our peace, our homes and property, and it is but natural that a feeling of in- dignation should prevail at entrust- ing this power into the hands of a total stranger, of which absolutely nothing is known until he came here jess than a year ago from Kansas There were a number of worthy men, all of whom are property owa- ers and citizens of our city, before the council asking thisappointment. namely: Alex Lamb, John Ferguson, W. H. Hupp, G. W. Eichler, John Rooks, J. K. Hulse and J. W. Gui- ton. Either of these gentlemen would have made a good marshal and been acceptable to our people. Granting that Mr. Trickett’s qualifi- cations are equal to either of the above, still the preference should have been given to one of our citi- zens, who has lived among us and helped to bear the burden of taxa- tion and whose interests are allied with ours. The supreme court handed down a decision Saturday which has a di- rect bearing upon this case. Emil Thomas was elected marshal of St. Louis in April 1889, on the republi can ticket. Neiser was the incum bent of the office at the time and was the democratic nominee. At the time of Thomas’ election Neiser filed injunction suit to prohibit the re- corder of voters from issuing elec- *) tion certificates on the ground that he, Thomas, was ineligible to quali- fy. Thomas then brought a man- damus proceeding to compel the re- corder to issue the certificate. The su- preme court's decision is that Thom- as was not eligible to the office at \ the date of election, not having been | acitizen of St. Louis for at least | two years previous to such election, ‘and Neiser will hold the office. Under this decision, it strikes us, i we have no legally constituted mar ‘shal, and the council would do well to rescind this vote appointing Mr. Trickett and give us an officer whose | legal right to the office could not ‘be questioned. 255 Senator Vest’s World’s Fair Bill. Washington, D. C., Dec. 20.— mator Vest to-day introduced a ; to locate the World’s Fair of " at St. Louis, Mo., and creat- } ging acorporation to carry on the same. The bill provides that the Fair shall be an exponent of the progress and civilization of the {World during the last 400 years and shall be\open toall natiens, and all exhibits from abroad shall be ad- \Mitted free of duty. A body corpo- ‘rate and politic, of which the govern- ‘or of Missouri shall be a member, ‘s-created under the name style and title of “The world’s Fair of 1892, na St. Louis,” which shall have per- etual succession and power - Fact and be contracted with ae . ywered to contract the Fair. The _ fapital stock of the corporation iaall consist of 500,000;shares of $10 egh. Thirteen directors are to be een of whom thirteen are to be spon by the President and the tliders. n to be elected by the stock- d The bill authorizes this igrporation to purchase, lease and quire lands for this purpose, and grgonstruct the necessary buildings. the” the consent of the Municipal ernment of St. Louis any public miland may be eceupied as a site andhe Fair. No person shall be a frector in the company who does/| frog?®2 100 shares of the stock, ex- 2 . the three appointed by the teenitent.

They suggest no means (of lightening taxation except by, | taking the taxes off tobacco and the | | alcohol that is used in making coach } | varnishes, silk hats, etc., and this; latter proposition would ruin the | wood alcohol business, which is a) thriving industry in New York.

The Terry Shooting Case. 1 Washington, Dec. 18.—Senator Coke introduced a resolution in the senate this afternoon, calling upon the attorney-general for all the cor- respondence and instructions issued to the United States Marshal for the district of California, regarding the protection of Justice Field which re sulted in the killing of David H Terry. Senator Coke desired that action should be taken on the reso- lution immediately, but Senator Ed munds objected and moved its refer- ence to the judiciary committec, and | in doing so made the statement that | there were some things, perhaps, in the correspondence that ought not to be brought out in the interest of justice. The whole matter will be investigated thoroughly, and Sena- respondence in the matter is but the | preliminary step. Therefis a good deal of gossip about the matter afloat in Washing ton that it would hardly do to print. A number of the late Judge Terry's friends from California are here loaded with documents, aftidavits and sworn statements affecting the case, and they are insisting on a thorough investigation by Congress They openly charge that there was aconspiracy to assassinate Judge Terry and that the department of justice played into the hands of the conspirators. State Items. — It is said that John Jacks, who has been known in every Missouri legislature for a good many years, will take charge of the Henry Coun ty Democrat. Missouri is divided into eight cen- sus districts. General Porter gets to appoint a supervisor for each and the supervisor appoints two enmera- tors. The Missouri chess association was organized early this month at the rooms of of the St. Louis chess club. A national meeting of the chess players will be held at St. Louis in February. Over $700 in prizes will be distributed. The Missouri press association will hold a business meeting in St. Louis January 23 and 24. There will be no entertainment, no excur sion attachment or anything but plain business. President Stephens says that all play and no work will knock the association Igher than Gilderoy’s kite. The Gallatin North Missourian says: “Monday eleven car loads of Canada barley in Kansas City for a brewery. The protective duty is 10 centg per bushel. If the farmers of Missouri and Kansas had that bar- ley to sell they could have pocketed that 10 cents a bushel tariff and a part ofthat big freight bill from Canada to Kansas City.” Walter Williams speaks of the late ex-President Jefferson Davis in these terms: “Persecuted, abused, misunder- ttood in his own day and generation history will surely do him justice, and when the mists of prejudice and passion which clouded his latter days shall have cleared away, his character will be revealed as one of the most heroic, unique, consistent and complete that have adorned the annals of time.” | Colonel William Cullen, the phleg- | matic editor of the Louisiana Press jis a warm advocate of prohibition. | So enthusiastic has he become that [he runs his presses by water power.
