Hon. Joha J. O'Neill, present cou gressmau from St. Louis has served formal notice of contest on Charles F. Joy, who received the certificate of election from that district at the Jate election. Mr. O'Neill charges that wholesale frauds were commit ted against the election laws. General W. L. Hawkins, editor in ehief of the St. Louis Chronicle, modestly announces through his in- timate friends that he might be in duced to accept the Adjutant Gen- eralship if Governor Stone should tender it to him in the proper spirit. General Hawkins served through the war with distinction; was in eommand of the troops which saved @iveinnati from destruction at the hands of the mob during the bloody siot of 1884, when the city juil was burned by the frenzied rabble. He was Adjutant General of Ohno under Gov. Campbell. He is an uncom- promising democrat and would make a good officer. The statesmen of the country at- tended the Reform Club banquet in “New York City Saturday night, and able and patriotic speeches were made. President Cleveland, of course, delivered the speech of the ocvasion which, like everything he says, was replete with sound sense and patriotism. Among the many were Carl Churtz, Senators @arlisle, Crisp and Mills and Con- gressman Wilson and Governor elect Stone of Missouri. Speaker Crisp was present and s0 sure was he that he would be expected to make a speech that he prepared his remarks before hand and gave them out to the Associate Press. But he was aot invited to speak, and now con- siderable speculation is indulged in as to whether the slight was inten- to the speakersbip will be contested. BUTLER WEEKLY TIMES BETTER ROADS. ; During the last campaign the question of better country roads for the state was agitated to a cousider- jasa factor in state politics. The, japparent that it was enthusiastically | endorsed in every county and com: | munity. The next legislature which | convenes in January, will not be in} jdoubt as to how a measure of that kind will be received by the people. | They have already spoken in lan-! guage not to bg misunderstood. The} new system of roud graders, intro- duced iu the past few years have im-/| proved the coudition of the roads to} a considerable exteut in many por-| tious ol the state, but their improve ment is at best only temporary. | What the people want and demand} is substantial permanent improve-|} ment of the highways. Missouri has reached that stage among the other states of the Union where she cannot afford to neglect this great internal improvement. She is no} longer a new state, but has taken | her stand as the fifth commonwealth of the Union, aud civilization de- crees that this matter be given the importance it demands. Our people are not afraid of a slight increase in taxation when they know that the money is to be expend ed in an improvement that directly | affects taxpayer. Noue | would grumble at an additional tax to improve the roads in front of their premises, which not ouly makes it a great convenience to them to get! their produce to market, but in creases the value of their property. Of course it requnes woney ti build good roads, as it does to make other improvemenis, and it would every be folly to talk of passing a law to improve the highways without pro- viding the means to carry out the provisions of the enactment. ————————— MUST HAVE RELIEF. We are in receipt of a personal letter from Senator J. N. Bradley which is marked “not for publica tion,” but the following extract is so full of wisdom and straight to the point that we coucluded to our readers the benefit aud brave the Senator’s wrath on a plea that it is for the public good: “With all my good feeling aud joy over the result of the election, there Is a streak of unrest. I am fairly trembling und nervous for fear there will be a lack of unity aud harmony among our leaders in congress. The fate of the democratic party for au indefinite period is now, more than ever before, in its own hands. If they will act promptly aud carry out the will of the party (or I might say the people) as expressed at the polls we are all right, otherwise our vic tory will be fruitless I tell you the South and West must bave relef from the uujust burdens placed upeu them by the East.” have give The Kausas City Times says that Major H. W. Salmon was much | sought after while in that city last week by patriots who were willing totuke the burdens of state upon their shoulders. Major Salmon stands very close to the governor- elect, as he should. As chairman of the executive committee, he conduct- ed, guided and controlled the most brilliant and successful campaign ever had in Missoun. The repub- leans were encuuraged by a poii of | the state by Porter's census takers, and made the hardest and most per- sistant fight since they went out of power in "72. But the eagle eye of the brainy Major was on every sec tion and corner of the state and the ouslaughts were met by counter- charges of well equipped and dis ciplined troops aud routed in every } instance.

Mr. Speed cannot afford to accept the private secretaryship if it was ten- dered to him. He is one of the brainiest newspaper men in the state aud did effectual and earnest work for the party.

Steamship Companies Apprehensive Over Restricted Immigration. PLANS OUTLINED. They May Go to Halifax, So a Report Says —Probable Effect of Such Action Will Be the Increase of American Shippisg— The Chandler BuUL .—A press repre- > giv WasuineTon, Dec. sentative is in a position east of what the united ste com- panies may do in the ev t con- gress should pass an act suspending im- | migration for one year. as proposed by | the Chandler bill ntly introduced. The steamship companies look upon | such legislation as foreshadowing a per- manent act excluding an indefinite period They the inducements held out by Chandler in an interview, t could find their compensation in carry- | ing visitors to the exposition during the year that immigration is suspended, | are not practical. They see in the | Chandler bill a direct menace, and must | cast about for something else to employ their ships, which represent an enor-/ mous capital. The question is, what course will they take. It is very probable that as soon as the Chandler bill comes regularly before j congress, and its passage becomes as- sured, a meeting will take place be- tween all the steamship companies earrying freight and passengers be- tween European and American ports. This meeting will include representa- tives of English, German, French, Italian, Bel n, Dutch and other line A resolution will be submitted, decid- ing on the part of all lines interested to close American ports, like New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, to Euro- pean traffic, and to divert their carry- ing business to Halifax. This resolu- tion will probably be carried, and the combined lines will at once enter upon a course of retaliation upon American commerce. The lines will refuse to earry exposition visitors except by way of Halifax, and in the same way will treat all freight intended for American ports. If this policy is followed, as there is good ground for assuming, one conse- a fore- ition from edit ersts its vote for him quence will be to stimulate American shipping. It will at once nec the building of a large mercha to take care of the business now carried in European bottoms. The only dam- age likely to ensue is the losses sus- tained by American merchants, export- ers and importers from the delay in creating a new merchant marine, and the extra expense involved in shipping via Halifax Another problem involved is, how far retaliatory measures of this sort can be carried without making an internation- al question of them. The fact is point- ed out that already an act is proposed in Germany to prohibit the operation of foreign steamship agents in the e:m- pire, the evident intention being the protection of the German carrying trade. In the event of complications ensuing between the United States and the European steamship companies, by reason of the refusal of these lines to do business with American ports, En- gland, Germany and other countries in- terested may combine in the enactment of laws putting a prohibitive tax on American vessels engaged in the carry- ing business with their ports. In that event the question is almost certain to pass into a diplomatic sphere, and be- come a subject for international arbi- tration. England will in all probabil- ity be ready toenter into a combination with the other powers, for the reason that Canada will derive the immense profit from the boycott of American ports, should that prove to be the ulti- mate policy of the steamship companies, and because any interference with her carrying trade invariably touches a tender spot, not to speak of the fact that any serious disagreement between continental Europe and the United States, relating to the commerce of the high seas, always redounds to her pe- ecuniary profit. The Chandler bill has many adherents in both branches of congress, and it is not assuming too much responsibility to predict that it will pass, if not in its present entirety, at least ina modified form. It is not in any sense a partisan measure. Fully as many democrats as republicans have openly committed themselves to this or some measure like it that will check the evils of immigra- tion, and, if possible, suspend immigra- tion entirely. That thesteamship com- panies are apprehensive for their busi- ness is natural, and it is comparatively easy to trace, even atso early a date, what they will do to offset the effects of such legislation, should it come to pass. They will, as detailed above, play Halifax against American ports and await the result, in the hope of creating an international crisis by which they may profit. Important Oftices Filled.
