The list includes ‘paupers and idiots.” This part of the cireu- lar will be denounced by Quay and Dudley as being against the interests -of the republican party. Mrs. Elizabeth L.

Suppose congress should pass'the sub-treasury scheme, of what use would it be to the farmers of this county. Do you suppose a warehouse would be located here, if you do you would miss it bad as it is extremely doubtful whether this congessional district would get one.

Neither does the document give the signer the faintest idea or conception of the cost of employing experts to do the work of twelve years standing. It simply asks the court to go ahead with the investigation regardless of expense that it may be ascertained how the books have been kept. Well, this bookkeeping busines: was the hue and cry of the union la- bor party during the campaign. Their song was, books and banks and banks and books, and we took it as a matter of course they were going elect officers fully competent to overhaul the records and expose to broad daylight all the defalcatious and bad doings of both the republi cans and democrats for the past twenty years But we never dream- ed of this economical party being so bold and extravagant as too down into the pockets of the county treas- ury after the money to pay experts to do this job. However, we may have been on the baek track in regard to that 40 eent levy, as that extra 10 cents might have been put on to defray the ex- pense of this investigation instead of paying the county attorney's criminal costs. UASS AND ST. OLAIR CO. BONDS. The county court and the citizens of Cass county are now in a greater dilemma over their railroad bonded debt than they have ever been. Their late interview with Judge Phillips of the United States court, at Kansas City, has placed the coun- ty judges in a position where longer escape from action is impossible and their further refusal to actin the matter of payment of the debt is likely to get them into serious trouble. Consequenty the judges have called a delegated meeting of representative tax-payers of the dif- ferent townships of the county to meet with the court at Harrisonville July 6th, to formulate a plan of compromise to be offered the bond- holders. In presenting the matier of a settlement to the county judges Judge Phillips said: “These bond debts were properly called fraudulent but yet their legal ity has been aftirmed by the highest courts. That all lawful means of resistance had been exhausted by the county. That it has ceased to | be a question of justice or injustice aud the question now is what can the people pay. That to talk of a forcible resistance to the levy of a tax or to its collection was utter fol- ly. That it would be wise for the | holders of these claims and the peo- | ple to adjust their differences and | that action must be taken at once.” | He continued the causes until the | first Monday of September, and | stated that by that date the people | and the bondholders and judgement creditors must agree upon a basis} of settlement and in case they could not agree a basis would then be fix | ed by him which he would promptly | enforce.

The Name Handed Down to His Grand- | son- | Louisville, Ky., June 25.—Word has been received here that a dinner given last Friday evening by Mrs. James H. Dew, New York, to Mrs. Jefferson Davis and her oldest daughter, Mrs. Addisoa Hays of Colorado, Mrs. Hays introduced her youngest son as Jefferson Davis. The boy is about 2 years old and was christened Jefferson Addison Hays at his birth. As Jefferson Da- vis left only daughters, Mrs. Hays wisbed to perpetuate his name by giving itto her child her family and husband at first in object- er and the change was made. Mrs. Davis did not know of her daugi: ter's action until just before they reached New York Mrs. Hays was Margaret Davis before her marriage. She lived in Memphis until recently, for the benefit of ber health. The Billi From Frank Hatton's Stalwart Post.
