North Dakota asks congress to donate a milion dollars to down the Russian Thistle now spreading in that state. Its a fact worth of note that a large majority of the unemployed men who are both begging for bread apd work at this time live in the Gast. The state democratic committee whieh met in St. Louis last week selected Kanasas City as the meet ing place to nominate a ticket, and viamed May 15th next as the day President Cleveland, accompanied by Secretary Gresham and Captain Rolley Evans, left Washington Sun day fora pleasure trip dewn the Potomac river. They will be absent several days. Adjutant General Artz, of Kansas has resigned his office under fire An expert has been going over his book and his report puts the adjutant General in ratber a bad light as to the handling of funds in his charge. The democrats in Kausas seem determined to go it alone this year, and the probilities are there will be three tickets in the field. Of course if this is done the repulicans will have a walkover in the state. Henry Watterson’s pen has lost nothing of its virility. The Des Moines (Ia ) Register seems to have been roused by something the dis- tinguished Kentuchian said in his jecture on Abraham Lincoln. This is the style of Henry’s retaliation: “If this newspaper had been born a bird it would have been a buzzard;i! a beast, a panther; if a fish, a mud cat; if a reptile. a lizard; if an insect. a bedbug.”—-Ex. C. A. Calvird, one of Clinton’s prominent attorneys is being men tioned as a suitable man to repre sent this district in the state senate. Mr. Calvird is a bright young man,a good lawyer and would make the district a conservative and able rep- xesentative The districts is com- posed of the counties of Bates, Hen- ry, St. Clair and Cedar. It has gen- erally been thought in Bates that Judge Ballard would be the man, and while we have no disposition to dictate Henry county's candidate we hope sbe will vame Ballard. St. Louis Post dispatch: Some im pressive truths were uttered by Gov ernor McKinley at the Lincoln Day Hanquet in Columbus. He told the truth when he said “the people are ‘tired of this tariff-tinkering, bond- issueing, debt increasing, treasury- depleting, business-paralyzing and wage-reducing” work. They are weary of it. Major McKinley's swindling tariff law made tariff ¢ink- @ring a necessity. His party made -the issue of bonds and the increas- ing of debt necessary by its deple- tion of the treasury. It paralyzed husiness and reduced wages by trade restrictions and heavy bur- dens. The determination of the Demo- cratic members of the House of Representatives to adopt some means of preventing deadlocks as soon as the Bland aeigniorage bill is disposed of, will receive the cordial indorsement of the people. The growth of the filibuster in the last twelve years has been a remarkable fact of American legislative history. In order to do away with the abuse, for such it has become, which is as { REPUBLICAN SUARE. At the time the Wilson bill was under discussion in the House re publican speakers and papers were taunting the democrats with asser tions that it was not a tariff reform measure, that it was but little differ ent from the McKinley bill in its tariff reductions and should be de ferted because the democrats were afraid to carry out their party Now, however, the bill bas passed the house and witha | good show of passing the senate | with little change. and republicans have discovered that it is a rampant free trade measure and are raising heaven and earth to defeat it in the Large posters have been recently sent to this county by the “American Tariff League,” of New York, bearing the following in large blaek letters: “Remember!

A prominent republican, whose voice is always heard and heeded in party councils, eaid to us; “The Wil son bill is a good measure if it bas made full preparations for revenue The to come to the revenue basis before its agitation ceases and the sooner this is accomplished the better it willbe for the country.” To tax the many for the benefit of the few is a thing of the past in this country.

Other men may be ad mired for their brilliancy, feared for ther invective, or surrounded with followers through the exercise of personal magnetism, but Congress man Wilson is in neither of these categories alone. He is loved by mauy aud hated by few. The peo ple at large have only recently had an opportunity of judging his work, but the glimpse has been sufficient to warrant the expectation that his 1ufluence will become constantly xreater in the party and country, if he is spared —Kanusas City Times. It is beyond controyersy that times were not good in 1893. We also hal the greatest exposition on the shoves of Lake Michigan that ton dispatches have the following to say of our able representative: “Mr. DeArmond has won a_ very enviable position in the House. He dangerous to one side of a question as to another, it will not be meces sary to countenance or follow the arbitrary and unconstitutional meth- ods of Czar Reed, as many suppose. It will not be necessary to put into the Speaker's hands any such power as that of counting quorums or vot ing hats in the House cloak rooms. Whether Mr. DeArmond’s proposal to fine members who refuse to vote or to put them down as voting “no” is adopted the change could be easi- ly made, and should be made at onee. —Kansas City Times. ig regarded as one of the strongest lawyers of the body and a man who always carries alevel head on his sboulders. He is invariably classed among the men of the House who ean think. Mr. DeArmond has drawn a rule that be thinks will amend the present state of affairs: Resolved, That to paragraph 1 of rule 15 be added a clause as follows: But it shall be in order at the con clusion of thesecond roll call for any member to inquire of the Speaker if a quorum has voted and if the Speak er answers in the negative to sug gest that any other member naming him. is present and has not voted aad thereupon the Speaker, who may then cause the doors to be closed, shall direct the clerk to again ca'l the name of such member and record his vote, and this proceeding may be continued until a quorum shall have voted. And il any mem- ber being thus called a third time and being present and not excused from voting shall not vote, the ser geant at arms shall, by direction of the Speaker, bring him before the bar of the Hause and his name shall then be called once more and his yete recorded. But if he still refrain from voting his name shall be re- corded as that of a member present and refusing to vote and for every contempt of the House of which a member shall be guilty by thus re fusing to vote the sergeant at arms shall deduct as a fine the sum of $50 from his salary, pay the same into the Treasury of the United States and report such action to the House.” To Meet in Kansas City. St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 28.—The Democratic State central committee met at the Laclede hotel in this city to-day and in addition to considering & goodly amount of routine business decided to call the state convention to nominate candidates for the su- preme judgeship, soon to become vacant, railroad commissionership and State superintendency of pub- the world ever witnessed. And yet during this year our American tour ists expeuded something over $100,- 000,000 abroad. There has just been issued by the treasury department a r-port on immigration, which shows among othes things, that during the year mentioned some 207,598 Amer ieau tourists left the United States for foreign countries As a fair ap proximation, allow $500 per capita as the amount expended. This would amount to $103,799,000 The result is most interesting. In a par- tial way it serves to answer the query: “Why is the balance of gold against us?’ Of course it is presum- ed that these Americans received the worth of their money. The pre- sumption is equally safe that had they remained home the gold deficit would not have passed into history. —St. Louis Chronicle. In Flames.

T'wo sensu | tional speeches followed, one by Mr. Pence of Coiorado, who denounced the Republicans for submitting to the crack of ex Speaker Reed’s whip. and warned him if the election of President was into, the House in 1896, thrown he by Mr Fithian of ['linois, who con demned in the the severest terms the action of his Democratic colleagues who were taking part in the filibus ter Mr Bland then made a vigorous his bill to cease filbustering He announerd that to-morrow morning he would move to close the debate, and every day thereafter until the bill was brought toa vote A Dem ocratic had decreed it should be kept before the House until voted up or down, and it would be. The filibusterera must take the responsibility for such delay as it caused. caucus Murder Mystery Solyed. West Plaius, Mo., Feb. 26.—Word was received from Mountain Home, Ark , tonight to the effect that Mrs. Anderson Carter had confessed that her husband, with Bart Carter and Jasper Newton, had killed Hunter Wilson, and afterward robbed the house of $1900. Her confession was followed by one from Bart Car- ter, who acknowledged that he with the other two, committed the crime, and told where the money stolen from the house at the time of the killing could be found. Parties have gone in search of the money. Great excitement prevails in Bax ter county Men were seen going to Mountain Home all day in squads, and it is thought here that the three men will be lynched tonight Sheriff Eatman will use every effort io fending the lives of his prisoners. William MeAnvinch, who is also charged with the same offense, will likely be released by habeas corpus proceedings. de Family Cremated Alive. Gurdon, Ark , Feb. 24 —News has reached here of the burning of a farm house and its occupants ten miles west uf Murfreesboro, in Pike John and five county, on Wedursday night. Wert, a farmer, his) wife children occupied the farm house, aud all perished in the flames The building was constructed of logs, Junction Coal Mines and is fiercely raging. The flames are now in the with a large firepluce at each end. While the family were asleep fire main shaft and will destroy the en | guy out upon the floor and in that tire top work. The damages will be large. If the flames get into the mine the loss will be over $109.000, as the mine is one of the best and largest in Central Illinois. Harris Hickox, the well known politician and capitalist, owns the mine. It is thought the men are not all out of the pit. Much excitement prevails. 2:30 p. m.—The fire at the Spring- field Junction Coal Company's mines this niorning has been extinguished. The miners all escaped witheut in jury. There were, however, five wules suffocated by smoke. The financial loss cannot be stated exact- ly. No McKinleyism for Him. Macon, Mo., Feb. 24.—-Ex-Mayor Edwin McKee, who has been boom ed lately for the republican nomina tion for congress against “Farmer” Hatch, has published a letter denying that he is a congressional aspirant. He declares that he is in favor of honest money and a tariff for reve- nue only with incidental protection to American manufacturers in need of protection, but to no others. Four years ago he was elected may or by the republicans, but now all members of that party declare that he killed himself politically. Sorg to Succeed Houk- Hamilton, O., Feb.
