If the tariff is a robbery the dems ocrats are cowards if they don’t get together and wipe it out and if it is not a robbery the democrats are liars. —Record. There is no question of the pres- ent tariff law being a robbery. But it is not necessary that the tariff be “wiped out” in order to remedy the evil. Such papers as the Record take great satisfaction in misrepre- senting the democratic party in this respect. The peuple are tired of protecting a few manufacturers at the expense of the many. But the government is bound to have reve- oue.. It is pretty well established that the people prefer to pay an in- direct to a direct tax. The policy of the democratic party has been for tariff reform, which dues not mean wiping out the tariff, but redicing it toa basis of a revenue sufficient to conduct the affairs of the govern- ,ment, honestly and economically ad- ministered. Whenever any more tax is collected from the people it is arobbery. When a suit of clothing worth €15 is sold for $25, it is rob bing the purchaser of $10. But robbery in that sense does not mean ‘that the clothes should be given away. The democratic leaders are showing great wisdom in thorough- ly discussing the best methods to be pursued to reach the desired end. The Record need have no uneasi ness. The tariff will be revised and reduced substantially. As to the wisdom of calling an extra sessiou we are perfectly willing to trust Mr Cleveland and his advisers. It comes with mighty poor grace for such rad icals as Austin to try and dictate what a democratic congress should do. Let them pursue their own metheds and if the ends reached do not justify the confidence reposed in them by the people, then Jet the re- publicans howl to their hearts cou- ent. ; Congressman C. H. Morgan will recommend the appointment of W. C Spaun, editor of the Aurora Ad vertiser, postmaster of Aurora. Charley Morgan is doing the right thing by the editors of his district in the way of appointments to post- masterships. Attorney General Ives, ‘populist, of Kansas, has created a great com- motion within his party by declar- of the big packers are hardly work- ling at half their capacity. The iu | dications are that unless the supply | of bogs is speedily iucreased, further |reductions will be necessary. This | condition of things has beeu brought about by a wost unusual shortage of | the hog crop. From November Ist to December 22ud Western packing was 2,280,000 against 3,820,000 for the same period last year, a shortage of 1,540.000 hogs. Chicago for the same period this year packed 780,000 against 1,470 000 last year, showing a shortage of 700,000 for this mar- ket. Leading packers while they assert that this condition of affairs was foreseen in part, yet acmit that the shortage greatly exceeds all calcu- lations. There does not seem to be any immediate relief since the short- age is daily becoming greater aud some packers assert that no relief can come until the next spring crop. The shortage is ascribed to different causes, chief among which is the floods of last spring, which killed off the young pigs in many sections and the low price of corn last spring also, which enabled farmers to fat ten and market their hogs earher thaf usual. The hysterical headlines with re publican papers are putting over the announcement that a number of démocratic leaders contemplate a change in the pension laws are con fessedly for publication and not at all as av evidence of good faith. Re publican voters know that a change is needed. A two thirds vote of the people would sustain a rémarkable change both in the law and the lax administration thereof. No one, either democrat or republican, wants to keep an honest ex-soldier out of his rights, and for that matter no honest veteran fears that any party 18 going to treat his claims unfairly. The bowling is from sensational ed itors and orators who are hard up for amunition and pension swindlers themselves. Talk to any honest ex- soldier and you will find this true; everybody knews that too much money is being distributed among the unworthy. It is that ciass that the democratic leaders are after, in behalf of good government. The worthy soldier is not frightened by hysterical headlines.—Kansas City Star. ing the present effort of the popu- lists to unseat republicans on tech nical grounds revolutionary and dapgerous. Christmas festivities at Indepen dence, Kas. were blighted bya proclamation of the mayor of that place prohibiting the gathering at any place, in order to prevent the spread of diphtheria. Toledo, O, people celebrated Christmas in darkness and walked, as the Electric Lineman’s Union had struck for higher wages and cut the wires. A young woman supposed to have been Blanche Mitchell of Mason,IIl., committed suicide in a hotel at Be- ment by taking rough on rats. 2 George Morse, a coachman who seven years ago wedded the daugh- ter of his wealthy employer, is now sueing for a divorce John E. Mason of Frankfort,Kas., expired suddenly on being ejected from the Midland Hotel at Kansas City. - Gov. Stone has announced that he will appoint as his private secre- ‘tary his brother-in law, Kin Winston of Nevada. According to the Springfield pa- pers there are ouly twenty-seven ap- plicants for coal oil inspector of that place. Ex Senator Ingalls declares that twenty-three issues figured in the last election, any one of which would have sufficed to defeat the republi eans. If the party had twenty-three fatal diseases we may accept the coroner’s verdict and believe that it is dead.—Post-Dispatch. Senator Vorhees is right in dis- crediting the candor of the republi- cans who have professed that they wish the democrats could have con- trol of the senate us well as of the executive department of the govern- ment and the house of representa tives. The republican party will never yoluntarily relinquish any power or place it can grasp. When republicans were talking this way they thought they had lost every thing. Now that they see, or think they see, x» possible chance to cap ture the senate by fraud and trickery they are straining every nerve to do it. They are willing to hold the senate by a rascally plot as they were to hold the presidency in 1877. The democrats are not deceived by their professions, aor will they be cheat- ed by their tricks. The next senate will be democratic. —Bazoo. Justice Lamar of the United States supreme court, has left Wash- ington on account of poor health, and gone south. It is almost a cer- tainty that Justice Lamar will ask to be placed upon the retired list soon after President Cleveland takes his seat. In such an event Missouri has claims to the vacancy. She is the fifth state in the Unian, and has been recognized only partially in na- tional affairs. In the person of Judge D. A. DeArmond of Butler, our present congressman, Missouri has a jurist that is the peer of any man in the west. Heis by educa- tion and inclination fitted for the supreme bench. He is a born jurist and his tastes are all in that direc- tion. His character is above re- proach, his ability is unquestioned —Holden Enterprise. . ASKED PARDON FOR NOLAND. | | { pears Before Governor Francis. | Jefferson City, Mo, Dec. 23.—/} Mrs. Edward T. Noland, wife of the ex-state treasurer who is now serv- ing a two year sentence in the state prison, appeared before Governor Francis late this afternoon and pre- sented a petition and letters asking | for his pardon. She was accompa-| nied by Mr. S. C. Noland, her bus- band’s brother, but no other persous were present. The petition contain- ed the names of several thousand of | the best citizens of the state. The governor received Mrs. No- land kindly and listened to her pla. | When she presented it, he assured her that if it were possible for him to do so he would take up the case! before his term of office expired aud | examine the petition and letters. | | Never Stopped Mixing The Drink. i Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 25.—Ed Ryan entered the saluon of John | Sloan on Main street where John Davis, a barkeeper works. Davis and Ryan had had several fights | duritg the past month. On enter- ing the door Ryan pulled his pistol and began shooting. Davis saw his reflection iu the mirror behind the | bar and wheeled about and returned | fire. Each fired six shots and when | the smoke cleared away Davis was found completing the cocktail which | he was making at the begining of the hostilities and Ryan was on the floor seriously wounded.

In other words, we would have to defend a practically untried tariff schedule and not our tariff principles; and then another thing, the business of the country has a right to know at as early a date as possible what we are going to do in matters affecting it. If we go before the country with such matter unset “Do you think that all of the dem- ocrats in the next house will be iu favor of reducing the tariff?” “Ido.

Webb City, Mo., Dec. 14.—A'ter | years of auxious toil and waiting the miners of this camp have real | ized their ideal in a rich find of flat sheet zine ore at the depth of 235 to 285 feet beneath the surface. | While vid miners bave insisted this ore would be found should a suffi cient depth be reached, it was not until recently that operators had suf- ficient ¢ nfidence to yo to the neces sary depth. Aradius of 540 feet} was covered by five drill holes, | and in each instance the mineral was | found. | The result will be that instead of | working at a depth of 150 to 200 feet work will be prosecuted ata depth of 250 to 300 feet which wil! open a new field of operation in min ing. It Will be Democratic. New York Herald Dou M. Dickinson, who knows as much about the contested states as anybody, repeats in Washington the declaration which the World made dutiug the week following the elec- tion “that the next senate will be democratic.” The preliminary decisions of the courts in three of the states—Ne braska, Montana and Wyoming— have all been favorable to the demo crats aud populists. Even republh can judges cannot sustain the out rageous contentions by which the tricksters of that party seek to} thwart the popular will. The people who won these victo ries are wide-awake and determined in defeuse of their rights. They are receiving the moral support of the country and the counsel and aid of the national democratic leaders. | On and after the 4th of March | next there will be a democratic gov ernment at Washington.
