This legislature again showed its wisdom when it called an early caucus and endorsed the Hon. G. G. Vest to succeed himself in the U. S. senate, thereby putting a quietus upon the agitation of that question.

If a farmer, the same as any other citizen, doesn't expect to pay his honest debts he has no business to make them. When he borrows ; money he knows just how muck in terest he has to pay. and if he can- not meet his obligations he has no business to make them The easiest and best way fora farmer to do is to refuse to mortgage his farm in the first place then there will be no trouble of a foreclosure. But if he borrows money and spends it he can make up his mind soouer or later to pay it back or have his farm sold. The political part of the Alliance | release. In fact this democratic farmers’ leg- -islature has an auspicious beginning and with due care and diligence ex- ercised together with its industry in another two years the democratic plurality will far exceed its 62,000 of this year. HENDRIOKSON’S BEGINNING. Mr. Hendrickson has introduced the following bills in the House: “To exempt the amount of indebtedness of an individual from taxation aud also $200 worth of personal proper- ty. Also one to reduce the road poll | tax.” Let us see what the practical workings of such laws would be. A has a piece of land valued at say $1,600. This would be ass-ssed at about $1,800. He has a mortgage on his land of $1,000. This of course would be exempt from taxa- tion, consequently he would not have to pay avy tax, while his neigh- bor, B, who isa renter but has by frugal industry accumulated per- sonal property to the amount of 2400 or $500, will have to pay tax on that amount of property. Thus B will haye to pay his tax while A is so fortunate as to possess a mort- gage, 18 exempt from taxation, though he is worth much more than his neighbor. It requires just so much money to be raised by taxes, to run our county and state, and if one class of citizens are relieved from taxation the burden musi nec- essarily fall heavily upon some one else, for assessments will have to be increased in order to raise the requir- ed revenue. A man who possesses $200 worth of property should be just as patriotic and as willing to de- fray his proportion of the public burden, as the man who owns $500, and he should be unwilling to be made a pauper or pensioner on the state without adding his pro rata to its support. As to reducing the road poll tax it has been our observation that the roads aro not in such excellent con- dition that they can dispense with any part of the labor necessary each year to keep them in repair. In fact, instead of trying to reduce the road work, it would be much more com- mendable if our honorable represent- ative would make an effort to im- prove our public highways, which are of more direct benefit to the far- ®°™e financial condition. ! in Kansas are having a monkey and parrot time of it. Frank McGrath, president of the state alliance re-! ceived a letter from Congressman E. J. Turner, in which that gentleman signifies his willingness to serve the people of that state as U. S. senator to succeed John J. Ingalls, and in- cidentally suggests that he would be willing to pay $5,000, and intluence in appointing a U.S. marshal as a slight compensation should he be | successful. The letter fell into the hands of MeGrath’'s clerk, who turned it over to the Alliance Central Comumittee, who iu turn had it published in the official organ in the state. The wild est excitement was created and was still increased when President Me- Grath published a letter denying that he had any intention of selling | and expressing a belief that Turner never wrote the letter and accusing the committee of complicity to ruin him. A meeting of the prominent { alliance men of the state was called at Topeka and they succeeding in whitewashing McGrath, easing the committee and all is harmony and} fair sailing again in their camps. H Here is Democracy. | }K.C. Times. | | Fortunate in the natural circum- stances of soil, climate. mineral wealth and geographical situation, Missouri has the blessing of a gov- ernment which takes rank among the soundest and best in the union. | The message of the governor pub-| jlished this morning describes a con- | dition unrivaled by any state west | of the Mississippi. The state debt has been reduced nearly $1,000,000! during the past two years. When, on March 1, there will be $65,000 of 34 per cent bonds subject to call there will be money in the treasury available for that purpose. The last general assembly reduced the rate of taxation for interest and sinking {fund to 10 cents on the $100, a 25 per cent reduction on the total rate | of state taxation. Under the re. ! | duction the revenues have been am: ' ply sufficient to pay the expenses of | | government and provide for the pay- | ment of interest and sinking fund | ‘ebarges. The state's money has been used for state purposes, and | therein lies the secret of the whole- | Missouri | i |uomination was seconded by Mr. |of Carter, and Ed. Turner nominated has low taxation and plenty of money for all legitimate purposes. The state bonds are eagerly sought by allinvestors and rank among the choice securities. The present legislature will not disturb the admirable treasury de partment that has lasted for seven teen years. It is democratic and understands that the people would not endure a different policy. Mis souri is one of the solid states. No democratic legislature would attempt to trifle with ber financial reputa tion. Every cellector in the state has made settlement for 1888 and 1889 of taxes due and received his This record is probably unequaled im the United States.

In other words it is democracy and where gemine democracy reigns there are anarchists, socialists, corrup- tionists or fanatics.
