There are 180,000 offices in the gif of the new administration. The Mississippi river is rising very rapidly. Under the vagrant law a negro was sold at public auction in Fay- ette, Tuesday. Mrs. Anna Potter has announced herself a candidate for mayor of Kansas City, Kansas, with the con sept of her husband.

The 90 day limitin the Missouri leg islature expired yesterday and if any thing makes the average representa tive see the importance of pushing business through it is the cutting of bis salary down from $5 to $1 per day. The legislature did the handsome thing when it appropriated $250 000 to aid in the construction of the state wciversity at Columbia. This uni versity of Missouri should be rated aécond to no institution of learning in the land. Rev. C.C. Woods, D. D., presi- deut of Scarrit college of Neosho, Mo., has been elected to the educa- tional congress of the world’s fair Dr Woods is one of the foremost scholars of the west and will probu- bly address the congress, during the week devoted to education.—Sedalia Bazoo. Senator Cockrell was given the chairmanship of the appropriations committee and Senator Vest the chairmanship of the public buildings and grounds. Senator Gorman made a hard fight for the appropria- tions committee, but Mr. Cockrell had the advantage of him as to se- niority. The American people have again given evidence of their generous na tures by voluntarily contributing enough money to pay off all the debts of Governor McKinley and re turning to him and his wife ther private fortunes. It was through no fault of McKinley that he became financially embarrassed, and this generous spirit by the people is commendable. But there is no evi- dence that the rich manufacturers who were made rich by Mr. McKin. iey’s efforts in congress, came to his assistance in his hour of need. Those fellows are not built that way. They prefer to spend their hoardings in fine castles and coaching excursions. The indicatious are that A. C. Beckwith, appointed United States senator by Governor Osborne, of Wyomiug, will not be allowed to take his seat. Both the law and the precedent are against him and like- wise political expediency. Now that the Washington legislature has adjourned without choosing a ®ena- tor, there are two republican sena- tors appointed, and the democrats will therefore be loosers by admit- ting Beckwith, as they must neces- sarily concede to Montana and Washington what they grant to Wy- oming. It is believed that the gov- ernor will call an extra session to elect a senator. That Mr. “Cleveland will make haste slowly in the Hawaiian annexa tion scheme shows great wisdom. It is said the president will send a committee to make a thorough in- vestigation of the causes of the in the little wisdom of the annexing it to the United States. {fit is true as charged that the parties most interested in this gov- ernment taking Hawaii under its recent revolution island and the DEMOURATIU VONVENTION.

Hinton as assistant commissioner of Tudiau af fairs. On motion convetion adjourned | NO EXTRA SESSION. The report comes from Washing ton that Mr. Cleveland has detinitels decided uot to call a special session of congress. This will be a great disappointment to the west, where the people foudly hoped that prompt and early action would be taken tu remedy the great evils growing out of the tariff taxation system and to take some action to relieve the strain on the money market. We believe with our talented congressman, Hon. D. A. DeArmond, that a special ses- sion should be called and the tariff laws revised so that its practical workings would have a salutary ef fect on the congressional elections of 1894. The great victory of 1892 was due direct to the tariff question more than all others If the present tariff laws are burdensome and oner ous tothe people they should be repealed at ouce. It can reasonably be expected that a greater part of the next session will be passed be- fore a tariff bill which will meet the approval of the whole party in con gresscan be adopted Then the business interests of the country will demand that some time elapse before it becomes operative. The best that we can reasonably hope for in that event will be that it wil yo into effect in the fall of 1894, or r ght ou the eve of a cougressional election, which will come off before the best features of such asystem can be practically demoustrated. NOT “MUZZLING THE PRESS.” The St. Louis Republic is a good newspaper, iu fact itis one of the best papers in the west for general news. It occupies a position where it ought to exercise a vast amount of influence in the party of the state and throughout the west In fact its possibilities are unlimited but for the arbitrary and domineering spirit which pervades its editorial utter ances. On account of a petty differ- ence between Colonei Jonesand Mr. Francis, that paper viciously assail- ed the chief magistrate of the state. Because the democratic congress saw fit to elect a speaker of its own choosing and not let Colonel Jones name him, that paper grew virulent in its attacks upon those members who cast their votes as their cou- science and judgments dictated and has never yet ceased ite nonsensical fight on Mr. Crisp. The state leg islature must pass just such laws as that paper dictates and no others or its members are open to personal assault through the columns of the Republic. So long as Col- onel Jones thought he saw an opportunity to be called as a mem- ber of the president’s cabinet or to represent this country in one of the fat foreign missions, he had nothing to say of “‘muzzling the press.” But since Mr. Cleveland has concluded to worry along without his valuable services, he has come to regard the proverbial dog in the manger asa very proper person to imitate, and now talks boastingly of the press being muzzled by the *appointment of the editors to small positions un- der the government. Ifthe country editor made his $10,000 or $12,000 a year or one-fourth or one-fifth of that amount he might devote his time and energies to the party with- out ever any hope of reward, but when he has to hustle to keep his ed temporary chairman and Prof W.! | We would like for Brother Carroll jto give a frank and candid opinion ‘of Dr. Macune’s letter relating to the {Alliance in polities.

Washingtor, March 10.—John A Eaton of Winfield, Kas., a member of the state democratic committee, and his partner J. Mack Love, who holds forth at Arkansas City, are in the city and profess not to be wor ried over the office question in any degree. Eaton says: “I would not be surprised if Kausas goes demo eratic by 30,000 majority in the next general election. Our people turn en masse when they do make up their minds to change. It looks very much as though a revolution was-coming.” quckly aud Made a Thorough Job. St. Louis, Mo., March 10 —James Brinkman committed suicide this morning in « novel way.
