Shelby is a candi date for United States marshal for the Western District of Missouri. General Shelby has been voting the democratic ticket for forty odd years and has at all times actively assisted in fighting its batties. He has never before sought office for himeelf, although solicited to do so by his zealous friends times without number. His war record is too well known to need comment from us and his deeds of bravery and cbival- ry have become matters of history. He is getting old now and the frosts of many winters have bleach- .od his once raven locks, but the fire in his soul stil] burns brightly and4 is reflected from its windows—the eyes. His step is firm and elastic and his bearing is still soldierly. Time has not dealt kindly with him from a financial standpoint. While he is not a pauper and de- pendent upon position to keep the gaunt wolf from his door, still he has not now command of the thous ands of dollars he once possessed and a lucrative position would smooth the rugged places down the incline which he is already traveling. He is competent to perform the due ties of the office and we would be glad to see him get the appoint- ment. Considerable speculation has been indulged in by the press and politi- cians as to who will be the lucky one, ifa cabinet portfolio is to be given to this state. It is pretty well agreed by the knowing ones that Gov. Francis would walk off with the honor. This not only on ac- count of the Governor's strength in the party throughout tle state, but on account of the friendship exist- ing between he and Mr. Cleveland. The people of Missouri would be greatly honored if the president should take their talented young governor as one of his advisers. The name of Hon. Thos. J. Smith has been mentioned in connection with the office of U. S. District At- torney. Mr. Smith is well qualified to perform the duties of the office. Besides being a lawyer of distin guished abilty, with a large and lu- crative practice,he isa life long dem ocrat, and has always been active in his party's service. Mr. Smith is worthy any position the party might confer upon him, but he is nota vandidate for the District Attorney- ship as he so informed the editor of the Trwzs. The editors of the Pleasant Hill Gazette received a flattering letter of cungratulation and commendation of their effective work in the cam paign, signed by fourteen of their readere. Such little remembiances and appreciation as this is what makes the life of the newspaper man endurable and assists him to bear the censure of others who have reap- ed-all the benefits of his labors and then show their utter lack uf appre- ciation by abusing the editor, be- cause, ferscoth, he might have had a personal preference of candidates before the nomination. —— The Truss is not playing the dog- It will support any worthy democrat from Bates in-the-manger act. county for state or federal office whether they are friendly to us or not.

Pace of Butler, Bates county, was in the city to-day and spent several hours conversing with his old army and _ political friends at the Laclede hotel. Col. Pace was one of the first candidates in the field for Warden of the peni- tentiary and his chauces are consid- ered good, particularly in view of the fact thut he was an energetic and consistent supporter of Gover- nor-elect Stone from the time he en- tered the race for the nomination until the close of the election. Col. Pace has a number of opponents, however, and some of them are very close to Col. Stone, particularly Capt. Bronaugh of Cooper, B. P. Bailey of Callaway and Col. Critchey of Carrol]. Yet the impression in the southwest is growing that that section will get the wardenship and that Pace will be the lucky candi- date.—Post Dispatch. To Be Banqueted. Nevada Mail Col. Thos. A. Russell, a promi- nent lawyer and democrat of St. Louis, was here to day, as chairman of acommittee appointed by a large number of business and professional men of that city for the purpose of formally tendering the governor elect Stone a complimentary banquet, to be given at the Mercaniile club, in St. Louis on the 15th instant. Col. Russell called on Col. Stone and stated in substance that the ban- quet was proposed by the leading business men as an expression of admiration for him, in recoguition of his able and efficient canvass, and as anassurance of their confidence iu his admistration. He expressed the hope that the governor-elect would houor thus his political aua personal friends with his presence on that occasion. Col. Stone said he duly appresiat ed the compliment, and that he would be pleased to accept the profered hospitality of his friends. The occasion pomises to be a most elegant reception. Spunky to the Last. Guthrie, Oklahoma, Nov. 30.—At Orlando, seventeen miles north of here to-day, while the sheriff of Ford county, Kansas, was endeavor- ing to arrest one of the Spearville bank robbers, the robber resisted ar rest and the shooting was the result. The robber was winged by the first shot and fell on his back, promis- ciously empting his six shooters at everything in sight. After empty ing his six shooter once he reloaded and was in the act of shooting again when his sister interfered and took the gun from hiw. He is mortally wounded and was brought to Guth rie. He refused to give his vame when asked by areporter. There is no doubt though as to his being a desperado and one of the bauk rob bers. Marshals report that the man showed a very nervy disposition and that he coolly said after Win- ehester bullets had pierced his body, “why not kill me, do uot torture me.” For a Roll of Honor. There were nearly 200,000 pen sioners added to the rolls last year— this being the net increase—and the total on June 30 last was 876,068. There are 450,000 additional claim- ants whose cases have not yet been passed upon. Anybody who chooses to believe that there are 1,326,600 legitimate claimants on the govern- ment bounty now living, twenty- seven years after the close of the war, is, of course, at liberty to do so butto most people this will seem incredible. The estimate of pen- sions for next year is $165,000,000, but thisis not likely to be large enough. —N. Y. World. Justice Tempered Too Much. The pardoning power is not al- ways wisely or firmly exercised. Timidity or mistakenly exercised, it impairs the efficiency of the jury system, flings insult into the face of the courts, encourages crime and endangers society. So long as mur- der is made a capital offense it should be so dealt with. It is not the duty of a governor to make or unmake the laws, but to see that they are executed.—Washington Post.

Topeka, Kan., Nov. 30.—“The Boys in Blue,” is the name by which an ex-Union soldiers’ organization will be known which will be a rival of the Grand Army of the Republic. For months past the old soldiers in the peoples’ party have been quietly at work perfectiug planus for their organization and the charter was filled to-day. It will be ana tional organization and the charter was filed to-day. It will be a nation al order and A. J. R. Smith of this city who seems to the prime mover in the scheme, said that organiza- tions would be affected at once in ten states and that more than fifty companies had already been formed in Kansas. The plan of the organi zation will be similar to that of the army. The board of trustees consists of the following ex-union soldiers of tis city: E. D. Moore, a printer; W. C, Ely, a schoolmaster; A. J. R. Smith, editor, aud W. H. Parker, farmer. All are members of the people's party. Itis claimed that of the 80,000 ex-Union soldiers in Kansas only 20,000 belong to the Grand Army of the Republic and irrespective of politics, the 60,000 wiil be invited to join “The Boys in Blue.” Boomiuy Gen. Jo. Sheiby. A movement bas been inaugurated in west and southwest Missouri to s°cu:e the appointment of Gen. Jo O Sh. iby as United States Marshal for the western district. It was started by a number of the General's old ¢» :stades who served under him duriu;; the civil war. The claim is made shat Gen. Shelby has asked nothi..g since the war and that his services entitie him to some recog bition, Gen. Shelby, it appears, hus not been faring well for years past. He has a farm in Bates county, and friends who claim to know say it is plast: red with is mortgages.

Time Here ts Short. Bristol, Tenn, Nov 26.—News has just re:ched here of a phenom. enon in the shape of an extraordinary infant boru this week near Crab Or- ehard, Lee Co., Va. The child was well developed and had a full and beautiful set of teeth and long flow- ing hair of somber hue. It was ex- ceediugly pretty and seemed to be possessed of ail the menta! faculties of maturity. In a clear voice it said: “Time is short.” It then closed its eyes and died. This together with th: appearances of the comet which 13 supposed to carry death and de struction in its wake has created considerable consternation in that community.
