CANNON, FRED COBB. ———— The bill to reduce passenger fare to 2 cents a mile on main lines and 3 cents on branches has failed of pas- sage in the legislature. One thousand workmen have been thrown out of employment by the closing down of the Joliet rolling mills. Why is this thus? What's the matter with the McKinley bill? At the close of congress the dem- ocrate refused to offer the custom- ary vote of thanks to the speak- er for fair treatment of the minority. This’ result was brought about by the tyrannical rule of Reed during his administration as speaker. It is not very eften that we find a representative in the legislature with the supreme gall to write corres pondence to his home paper “boost ing” himself and sign his own name to the letters. Yet this is just what our present representative is doing. Mr. Hendrickson must be making a splendid record and working hard for the interest of the people.. be- cause he says he is each week in the Union, see his interesting (?) com- munications. Aus. is spoiling for a fight on the McKinley bill. It seems to have taken hima long time to prepare bimeelf for the fray. Last fall when THE FARM HAND. | Why is it that while our farmer the poor down-trodden working man in the mines, on the railroads, in the manufactories, etc.. that nothing is ever heard of the farm laborer? Are they not as hard worked and poorly paid as any class of workingmen in the world? While other laborers are c'amoring through their lodges and other secret organizations for better pay for fewer hours’ work, the farm band continues to begin work at suv- rise and fiuishes bis chores after \night The miner can take from $50 to $125 per ufonth according to employee from $60 to $150 per! month, while the farm hand is con tented if he can make from $15 to $20 and his board. Thereis a great army of which this class is compos-| ed. There is probably 2 are engaged in any one other calling, and they are appealed to to help the | workivgman by Yet S many as their vote. other class of employees, but is si- lent on the question of the ameliora tion of the condition of the farm | hand, because that affects directly | his own business, and he wants to! be free to employ his farm labor as | cheap as he can get it and work them as long and as hard as he can for the money These are a few | theughts we would suggest for the, prayerful consideration of our Bates | county representative. | | Hon. James H. Lay, of Warsaw, | Benton county, has been appointed | by Gov. Francis to fill out the un expired term of D A. DeArmond as judge of the twenty second judicial | district. He is described as a gen tleman and lawyer of fine ability so it is hoped that the bigoted, narrow- | minded rulings that have perverted justice and the will of the people in! this district will not be repeated The boasted “harmony” of the pre- dominant party seems te be sadly out of joint—the Bates county gen-| tleman wao was championed by Gantt, DeArmond, Kieth & Perry and every other corporation in south west Missouri got left. Evidently Missouri's governor is “turning al- | liance.”—Butler Union. The above is a fair simple of courteous treatment that a deinc- cratic official receives at the hands | it was playing sad havoc with the re- publican party all aloug the line and turned the congress over to the dem- ocratic side and lost the republicans several senators, then was the time for Aus to have thrown himself into the breach. But then it is better late than never and he may stem the tide in 1892. Twenty thousand men were thrown out of work in Youngstown Ohio a few days ago. Twenty-eight thousand in Pittsburg, thirty-two thousand in Cincinnati, fifty-five thousand in St. Louis. Two hun- dred thousand idle men in this city who cannot get work, says a Chicago daily, and the New York World of last Saturday atates that there are one hundred thousand idle men in the metropolis, men who are not or- dinarily idle. Here are 432,000 idle men in six cities. Still the McKinley tariff boodlers promised with higher protection higher wages and plenty of work. queer “Editorially the Globe Democrat has this to say of the record of the republican congress which adjourn- ed last Wednesday: “The principal blunders of the republicans consist ed in the pressing of the election measure and the passage of the Mc Kinley bill in the shape in which it appears on our statue books. For both these transgressions the party was adequately punished at the polls last November and the grudge which the country bore it on that account, is now settled.” ee The following table is worth filing for reference: Total taken in one year by the Fed- eral government from the people 2... ee cesses ee B 05,000,000 Total annual production ofall the gold and silver mines of the world Dockery statement of total appro- priations by the radical con- 244,000, 060 MARIE cosas wes ene sesees 1,008 , 000,000 ‘Total cash in the hands ef the peo- ple of the United States... ... 1,200,000,000 The entire product of all the gold and silver mines in all the countries of the would would not be enough in four years to pay the debts sad- dled on the American people in two of this expounder of pure principles, this reform party that wants to pu- rify politics and do justice to all men. No matter how well or fuith- fully a democratic official performs his duties, how clean, honorable and | upright his private and public life he is not procf against the malicious slanders and_ villainous falsehoods of this paper, which was brought | into this world and is now being fos- | tered for that purpose and which is performing its mission to the entire | satisfaction of its backers. Hon. David A. DeArmond left the bench with a judicial ermine as pure and clean as that of any judge the} state of Missouri ever had. He! possessed the utmost confidence of the bar as shown by the ringing res- olutions passed and signed by every lawyer, irrespective of political af- filiations; the press throughout the state has commented upon his great ability as a lawyer and his just and learned decisions as a judge, and it bow remains for a little partisan fiste, who has not dropped his swad- dling-cloth in the newspaper pio-} fession, to comment ou his rulings) as “bigoted and narrow-minded.” As for Mr. Smith he made au honorable contest for the appoint- ment of judge, and the fact that he received the endorsement of such learned jurists as Judges Gantt and DeArmond speaks volumes for his ability as a lawyer. The following from Hon. Roger Q. Mills is full of common-sense: The splendid fight we have made against the high tariff has beaten. disorganized and scattered our foes, and it would be folly for us now to go to wrangling over silver and di vide our own forces and restore the republicans with their force bills, bounties, increased tariffs and the increased distresses and spoliation of the people. The democratic party will not wrangle over free coinage. When it gets the opportunity to make it a leading issue, it will force it.

The governor accompanied his message with a vlank bill in the form furnish ed by the board of management of the fair. In the senate, when the governor's message was read, Senator Sparks introduced a resolution that it be re ferred to the judiciary committee for ture had a right to appropriate the mouey. A number of senators expressed their opinion that the legislature had no right to make the appropriation and the resolution was adopted. The relative numerical strength of the opposing parties in the Fifty first congress was as follows: Sen- ate —republicans, 51; democrats, 37. House—republicans, 176; democrats 156. In» the fifty-second congress there will be in the senate 45 repub- heins and 40 democrats, with three members doubtful. The house will stand, republicans, 8%; democrats, 236; farmers’ alliance, 8. It appears from these figures that the surplus was not the only thing which the re publicans succeeded in reducing in the last two years.—Globe-Demo- crat. ; To Marry Gov. Francis’ Sister.

The wreck immediately took tire and burnel with great rapidity. It was with the utmost difficulty that some of the passengers were rescued and one or two were severely burn- ed. A wrecking train was at once sent out from Jacksonville, but when it reached the scene the fire had swept the debris out of existence. The loss to the ¢ pany, includ- ing the death and accident claims, will not fall short of $100,000. An unusually small list of passen gers was aboard the train. The peo- ple in the sleepers were not injured. but had to make their way on foot for a mile through the terrible storm to shelter without shoes or clothes.
