Why don’t the republican papers Geuounce the democratic party for giving the farmer free agricultural implements, binder twine, salt, etc On these articles not a republican opens hie mouth either on the stump ‘or inthe columns of the papers. Well, don’t gay anything about these things because the farmer uses them, and if would not be policy to tell him ‘he evght to be taxed higher. ‘The senatorial quarrel over in the Fourteenth district between Senator ‘Starke and John A. Blevins, as to which received the legal nomination, sxd which was referred to tke State ‘central Committee for adjudication, has been amicably settled by both gentlemen withdrawing from the race, and allowing the district to nominate a new man. Senator Starke aud Mr. Blevins deserve the thanks of the democratic party of Missouri ‘for their unselfish, patriotic and magnanimous course. ‘Since the passage of the new tariff bill the St. Louis dry goods mer chants are trying to out do each other advertising goods cheap. The Sunday papers were filled with flaw aming [advertisements offering free ‘weol blankets, free wool dress goods, ete., and each advertiser claimed that goods were never sold so cheap When the McKinley bill passed these same merchants advertised telling the people to buy before the price went up and some of the mer «chants even published parallel col cumme showing the difference in the ‘cost of goods on hand and what they would have to pay under the McKin- Jey bill. All remember this. “Warden Pace has discontinued ‘the whipping post in the penitentiary and almost every paper in the state ‘is commending him for this humane sact. He is of the opinion that the convicts can be made to. respect the rules of the prison by other modes of punishment less brutal than the vwhipping post. Col.

REPETITION OF THE SUPREME JUDGE DEAL. ; News comes from Jasper and Newton counties that the populists are boiling mad over a story, which has just leaked out, that the state committee of that party intends to |“pull” the populist candidate for supreme judge off the ticket and en dorse the republican nominee for that office. This is the same game over again that was played four years ago, when M. V. Carroll was chairman of the populist committee He and four or five members of that }committee met at Odessa, and after withdrawing the name of the popu list candidate for Supreme Judge, | certified up the name of Judge Shirk | instead. ’ | Now Judge Shirk was the nomi |nee of the republican party fer that office. Was the party principles and platform of these two parties so sim ilar that the success of one meant a realization of the principles of the {other? Or was it because of the fact that at that time Judge Shirk was ene of the principle counselors | of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and } | his name appeared on the lithograph- jed letter heads of that, the jmost, powerful ‘corporation in the state? Mr. Carroll and his jco workers have never satisfac torily explained that dea/, if was a deal, to the rank and file of the pop- ulist party and no wonder they are ;now suspicious that their present committee will play the same kind of trick. | Judge Atkeson thinks we were too severe in our criticism of him} last week. The Timzs and Democrat jatarted out to conduct a campaign free of personal abuse and vitupera- ition, but the Union assailed tis until | forbearance ceased to be a virtue, | | when we concluded that that kind of |@ campaign was the only thing that would satisfy Atkeson, hence the strictures. We wish to add, by way of parenthesis, that everything we said was true, and easily proven if we had any confidence in Atkeson keeping his word about leaving the county “if he thought the people had T.

Curtin, of Pennsylvania, died at his home in Bellefonte, Pa., Sunday afternoon. | He has been in feeble health for some time, and being in his 50th year, his death is attributed princi- pally to cld age He served two terms as governor of Pennsylvania during the war. It was the aspira-| tion of Governor Curtin’s friends that he should be United States Senator at the end of his sec- ond term, but enemies in the first whic} made had been hostile to him pre- vented. In 1868 he was a prominent cand: ‘ate for nomination for vice- presidcut with General Grant, but! was d-feated. Soon after the latter's election, Goyernor Curtin was nomi- vated and confirmed as Minister to Russia and spent nearly four years at Sv. Petersburg. He returned home in 1872 and took part in the hberal republican movement which nominated Horace Greely. He was} prominently spoken of for the second | place on that ticket and was the | choice of the Pennsylvania delegation | in the Greely convention for presi-| dent. His convention with the liberal | Republican movement and the fact that his power and influence in the Republican party had been broken during his absence, carried him into the Democ:atie party. He was chos- en by the Democrats to represent the Twentieth Pennsylvania district in the Forty seventh, Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth sessions of Con- gress, serving from I88L to 1887. For many years he was chairman of the foreign affairs committee. Ou last Thursday evening as Jesse this division, was standing on the street in Kunsas City, watching the Karnival parade, he was assulted by a tough, who struck him in the face, kuocked him down and in the fall his skull was fractured, from the effects of which he died the next day.
