WEDNESDAY, DEC. 12,1500. Senator Stanford's bill authoriz- ing the issue of $100,000,000 in| Treasury notes to be loaned at 2 per eent on farm lands belongs to that order of legislation for which | pigeon-holes have been wisely pro. | vided.—Globe Democrat. The Supreme court of Mississippi affirms the judgment against ex Treasurer Hemingway of that state, | and he goes to the penitentiary for five years for embezzlement. This circumstance illustrates the differ- ence in the way of doing things in Mississippi and Pennsylvania Senator Quay has introduced a bill to increase pensions in cases of total disability. Such a proposition fitly comes from him, in view of the fact that he 1s at present the most striking example of total disability in American politics —Globe Demo- crat. Senator Delamater, late republic an candidate for governor of Penn- sylvania, has failed. It is said his campaign expenses, which amount- ed to $200,000, was the cause of his failure. Delamater was in the banking business and the state treasurer is caught for $100,000. It is said Mr. Delamater confident- ly expected to be elected governor and drew heavily on his bank dur ing his campaign. The school book question should be carefully studied by the farmer legislature. It is one of the big- gest monopolies in the whole coun- try, and some means should be em- ployed by the legislature by which school books can be had for less money. At present prices the sys- tem is nothing more nor less than downnght robbery. Illinois prints and sells her books at cost, why could Missouri not do the same thing? It is said that the resolutions pass ed by the National Farmers’ alli ance denouncing the Force bill has opened the eyes of the Senate to the danger of pressing that measure and that an effort will now be made by some of its former advocates to defeat it. If the Republicans in Congress are not fully bent on the destruction of their party, they will not make the farmers of the coun- try any madder than they are now. —Kansas City Star, President Harrison wants the sen ate to pass the force vill. Presi-* dent Harrison, Reed and McKinley killed the republican party the 4th of Nov., by partisan and extravagant legislation, and now the President seeks to bury it out of existence by passing the force hill. The Globe- Democrat was right when it said the tariff and too much nigger in the force bill was what was the matter with the republican party. The rights of the American citizen must vot be trampled upon. The contest for U. S. senator in Kansas is considerably muddled. The state constitution provides that there shall only be 125 members of the legislature, and further that each county of 250 votes is entitled to a member. An application has been made tothe supreme court to com- pel the State Board of Canvassers to give certificates of election to 19 members elected under the last nam- ed provision. In order to seat the 19 delegates from the sparsely set tled counties it will be necessary to drop an equal number of members. elect from the more populous coun- ties. If the 19 delegates are seated under this mandamus it insures In- galls’ election, provided 19 are drop- | ped. In either case it gives Ingalls an excellent opportunity to contest the election of another man on the constitutional provisien of too many delegates or that the counties enti- tled to representation under the 250 votes clause are left out. Up north they are having snow storms. i THE COLD WAVE IS HERE at last and with a vengence you'll be compelled to buy a heavy weight suit or overcoat. if not already supplied. We have them.

ASOLDIER PREACHER. He was Once Captured by Jim Lane At Johnstown. The following from the Sweet | Springs Herald may be of interest to | some of our older citizens: i “I went to hear the bravest man {in Missouri preach Sunday,” said G. | H. Hardy to one of the editors of this paper. ‘That was the Rev. S. B. Whiting of Higginsville, the pas tor of the Baptist church in this city { first saw Mr. Whiting in the early days of the war. I then resided in Mo. Jim Lane, with his Kansas Jayhawkers, about 2,000 in number, including a battery of ar tillery, came to Clinton and estab aud of course I eaw a great deal of him and knew much of what trans pired at headquarters, With the |command came about seventy con- | federate soldiers who had been cap- tured in a fight near Johnstown, in Bates county, a day or two before Lane established his headquarters at my house. The commanding of ficer of the confederates was Capt. S. B. Whiting, then a young man. Tt was then said that Capt. Whiting formed his man in line of battle and fought Lane's forces until a battery was ordered up, when he was cor- pelled to surrender as his command consisted of seventy men, and Lane's 2,000. When brought to Lane's headquarters he was asked by Lane if he would accept a parole, and go home and remain there, he answered, ‘No,’ that he was going back to the service as soon as he could get there. | In a few days he was exchanged and I saw no more of him. I think he fought all through the war aud was captured two or three times after that. I heard he was to preach here Sunday, and went to hear him. He made a good soldier and is now a | good preacher.
