Wm. C. Oates headed the ticket for gov- ernor. The election held in Tennessee Thursday last resulted in a complete victory for the democratic ticket over the combinition of republicans and populist. A poll of the Ashland district gives Breckinridge 8,560 votes or nearly twice as many as either of his two competitors. This don’t look like a prospective repudiation of Kentucky's silver tongued orator. The House,by a vote of 176 to 52, fas refused to agree to the large ap- propriation made by the Senate to exterminate the thistle. The House is right in putting its veto to bills appropriating the people’s money to the extermination of weeds. Santo Caesaria, the anarchist that killed President Carnot, of France, has been sentenced to death. As sentence was being passed upon him by the court,Santo said, “Vive social revolution,” and then shouted,‘cour- age, comrades; vive anarchie.” —_—_——__—_——_ The Courier-Journal stands by the House in its refusal to pass the Senate bill appropriating $1,000,000 for the extermination of the Russian thistle. That paper says: ‘An ap- propriation for the extermination of the cockle-burrs in Pefter’s whiskers would have been just as reasonable.” ‘State superintendent of public ‘schools, L. E. Wolfe, has made the forty-ninth annual apportionment of school moneys. The total amount for distribution among the counties is $808,263.40. The returns from the clerks of the various counties to the department of education show there are 928,369 children of school age in the state and per capita dis- tribution will, therefore, bea frac- tion over 86 cents. Gen. Coxey has petitioned con gress to feed his 400 deluded fol- lowers out of the publicerib. Coxey deserted his army long ago, but be- fore leaving grossly insulted his men by telling them they were at liberty to go to work if they could find anything to do. Coxey has proven himself to be a great schem- er for public notoriety. —_—_—___——_ The city of Independence, Mo, ia somewhat exercised overy the dis- covery that some thirty graves in the cemetery at that place had been robbed of bodies within the past two years.

Democratic Caucus Does Not Advise Tariff Conferrees.—Crisp's Temperate Speech. Washington, D.C, Aug. 7.—One hundred and sixty-six Democratic | Representatives met in caucus to day | : have both sworn to this fact. When’ 4, discuss the tariff situation. It it became apparent that this bill! yo, one of the most largely attended. would be repealed, the trust exerted | 0. .euses of the party ever held.

Denunciations of Jones and Vest and Harris will not make Smith and Murphy and Irby come to terms. These latter senators have nothing to fear, either from the president's disfavor or the indignation of other senators’ con- stituents. labor on the part of senators, their support secured to a bill, and the only point By bard and persistent tariff reform was finall ate bill to the House measure, for |the reason that the Senate bill af fords it incidental protection, while the House bill doesn’t give it any comfort. But the trust isn't bother- ing its head about the House bill. Its concera is between the Senate bill and the McKinley law, and its defeated,iu order that the McKinley of the Senate bill would cut off half of the Sugar trust’s gratuity. That is why the trust objects to its pass age. Moreover, it would guaraniee exemption from an impending Trea- sury deficit. But neither the Re publicans nor the trust care about that. Their only concern is the pro- tection of favorites and the looting of the Treasury. If, on the other hand, the Senate bill is defeated, the trust will continue to draw its $30,000,000 annually, and a Treasury deficit is practically certain to spread humiliation over the whole people. Every true Democrat is opposed to trusts, and nearly every Demo cratic Senator is true to his party. But there are enough protectioniste among them to make complete tariff reform legislation impossible. It is likely that among those who are most emphatic in their demands for the Wilson bill are some who would vote against it if it was reported by the conferees. Senator Hull is in evidence on this point. He is par- oxysmal in his demand that the Senate conferees recede, and if they did recede he would vote against the report. This is one of the troubles against which the tariff re formers are compelled to contend. It is agreed among real tanif re formers that the purposes they must keep in view are the decrease of the burdens of the people and the increase of the revenues. Both these conditions are essential If the Su gar trust is enabled to extract some advantage from a measure that sub serves these purposes that can't be helped. Every import duty helps some interest. But that is no reason why imposts should be abandoned, to the prejudice of the public service } and the destruction of the public credit. Great men are not swerved from duty by clamor. If they were, the rogues would have things their own way, for they can make the most noise. The tariff reformers must do the best they can, without regard to what the rogues and the rabble say.—Kansas City Times. Missouri Crop Bulletin. Columbia, Mo., Aug. 7—The weekly crop bulletin of Agriculture issued today, says good rains fell ties, but in other sections the rain- fall was badly distributed and drought in nearly every county. Corn was benefited in some sections, while eleswhere that cereal was dam- aged to some extent by wind and bail. In the northwest section corn is reported in good condition, with prospects for one-third to an aver- age crop. In Atchison and Ralls in Harrison and Daviess counties full yield.
