The democratic press of this city are continually referring to the democratic administration of affairs tn this county as baving been par excellence, a: | because no officer has defaulted, the claim has gone qndisputed.” But now comes Treas- urer Hirni, and states that there are delinquent taxes for the past five years ofalmost if not quite fifty Z thousand dollars—over nineteen 4 thousand of which are personal.— , Record. ¢ No higher tribute could be paid to the efficiency of democratic offi- cials than this unwittingly made by the republican organ of the county. Gess than $50,000 delinquent of all taxes in five years, or less than $10,- 900 a year out of an assessment of $8,000,000, Of course Bates coun- ty is under township organization and the taxes are collected by 24 collectors, part of whom are repub- ficeans but we are perfectly willing to take the responsibilities, if there are any, on the democratic party. Tn orderto know whether a clore collection is ma de let us take the per cent of collections for the years ‘88 and ‘89 as given in the State Auditor's report of 1889-90 and eompare it with the counties, both under democratic and administrations. In Bates county we find cent. collected for those two to be 88.4 and 90.7. In Cass coun- ty for the same years, 84.5 and 83.4; Henry county, 77.9 aud 81.1, Ver- aon county, 80.1 aad 786 These tre adjoining counties and all dem- veratic. The following are repub- tican counties: Adair, 86.7 and 87; Christian, 82.9 and 84.2; Dade, 78.7 tnd 78.4, Jasper, 81.7 and 84.1; Pet- tis, 80.7 and 79.7; St. Louis county, 35.2 and 87.6. By this slight com- parison it can be readily seen that the per cent. of collection in Bates county is much higher than any of the adjoining counties, either under democratic or republican adminis- trations. Brother Austin harps on the iurge personal delinquency and yet ie fails to give the amount in plain figures. Granting, for the sake of arguinent, that there is a large per- sonal delinquency, is it any wonder when we take into consideration the iarge mining interests iu this coun- republican years ome ie te ty, which of course represents a farge floating population. These parties are assessed, their names appear on the tax books and by §the time the collector gets around they have emigrated to greener pastures. But we deny that even the personal telinquency is any larger, propor tionately thanin other counties of tike importance. sia asaeariea Cuee ey Goversor Francis is said to have uate his pilgrimage to Washington norder to consult with Senator Cockrell about the advisability of calling an extra session of the Leg- islature. The Governor might have aaved himself the journey by con- sulting with the senator while that worthy was in the state a short time ago. But the opinion of Senator Cockrell is only the opinion of one man, after all, and, no matter what he thinks, the electoral vote of the state will be in jeopardy if the state vemains unredistricted. The ques- tion of the expense of an extra ses- sion, which secms to bother the Gorernor, should not be permitted fo enter into the discussion if the danger of imperiling the electoral vote is really imminent.—K. C. Star. In the democratic caucus for speaker we were glad to see that the Hon. D. A. DeArmond was one of the loyal five who held out for the Hon. W. H. Hatch, while the other members deserted to the Mills standard. Judge DeArmond is noted for his staying qualities and wheu he takes a stand it is not easy to stampede him. He was evident- ly right in his royslty to Mr. Hatch and his people will commend his eourse. After Mr. Haich voluntrily withdrew from the race, Judge De- Armond voted for Mr. Mills. ~~ | not so prominent as Mr. Mills. the per | The election of Mr. Crisp for| speaker does not signify that the! democratic party will be any the!

Mr. Crisp has always been an able and aggressive tariff reformer, though He voted for Carlisle as against Ran- dall for speaker, and he has always been in touch with the democvatic idea ov that question.
