The Governor says if enacted in a law the measure would creat ‘confusion and result in no good. Missouri Democracy. The St. Louis Republic recently interviewed a Jarge number of prom- inent democrats of this state in re- gard to the approaching general election. None of these men believe the state is republican, and all think effective work will result in an old time democratic majority. The worst thing to overcome in this is a disposition on the part of eo many vetes to stay at home elec tion day. At the 1894 state election « ihe democrats were more than 40,- {000 votes short on the state ticket, |while the republican gain | greater t | pace with the growth of the state. | |The election of three republican | | state officers and a majority of mem- | | bers of the lower house of the legis-| lature was not due to the popularity | of the republican party or its candi-| dates, but to the stay-at home dew-, ocrats. Had the full strength of | the parties been measured in 1894 as) jit was in 1892 the democratic state} i ticket would have been elected by | 40,000 plurality and some forty re-| publican members of the legislature | left at home. At the recent municip | al election in the city of St. Louis 33,000 registered voters did not go to the polls. This goes to show that the stay-at-home spirit is the most dangerous menace to a continuation of demoratic rule. Ii will not do for the democratic party to trust to luck and numbers any longer. While there are plenty of democrats in Missouri, yet the in- difference on the part of many of them is a positive danger. If party enthusiasm is aroused, democracy will sweep the state in 1896. And the way to arouse this enthusiasm is to get eut among the people and whoop things up. The republicans aremaking desperate efforts to obtain a permanent foot hold in this state, andit will not do for the democrats toremain passive spectators of what isgoing on about them. The first duty of the democratic party is to nominate acceptable men for office. It will not do to nominate any man simply because he wants office. And another thing, every can- didate must stand entirely free from corporate influences. The men se lected as delegates to conventions must be of a such a character that railroad passes will not influence their votes Even this early the republicans are negotiating with the corporations for assistance, anyone familiar with corporation tactics understands how quickly any party will be sacrificed when occasion demands the same. The party that is made a bulwark from behind which the corporations may safely assail the public must soon surrender power in this state. The democratic party is strong enough to take care of itself, and it must pay to the corporations: We will treat you fair, but keep hands off our party deliberations. Importance of One Vote. Globe-Democrat. On the question of the constitu- tionality of the entire income tax the supreme court was evenly divided, four members being on each side. If Justice Jackson had been in his place the court would have decided one way or the other on the general question, and from what is known of Jackson's opinions as a strict con- structionist it is reasonable to as- sume that he would have taken the negative side and the law would have been annulled. The import- ance of the figure lis very conspic- uously shown in this circumstance. Oftentimes the result of a presiden- tial election has hinged on the vote of a single state. For example, New York turned the scale in 1844, 1848, 1880, 1884 and 1888. If Colorado, which the democrats had expected to carry, had remained in the terri torial stage a year longer the demo- crats would have elected the presi- dent in 1876. Suppose just one of those severty- three electors who declared for both Jefferson and Burr in 1801 had cast for somebody else the vote he gave to Jefferson! There would have been no tie in that event, the house of representatives would not have been called upon to make the choice and Burr would have been elected. The thought of the narrowness of the margin by which the country was saved from the infliction of hay- ing Burr in the presidency gives a chilly feeling to Americans even to- day. One vote transferred from the nineteen negatives to the thirty-five affirmatives in the presidential im- peachment case of 1868 would have given the latter the constitutional two thirds required for conviction and Johnson would have been re- moved.

His title to the presidency, however, was as good as that of Monroe, who got all the electoral votes cast except one, or as that of Washington, who got} every vote. Marcus Morton, chosen in 1839 by a majority of only a sin- gle vote in a total poll of over 100,- 000, was just as fully and as truly governor of Massachusetts during his term as Grover Cleveland, with his plurality of 192,854 gained in 1882, was governor of New York during 1883 and 1884. The tariff of 1846, an act whieh has filled a more conspicuous place in political discussion than any other measure in its field, possibly excepting the | Morril tariff of 1861.was saved by the casting of the vote of Vice president | Dallas. In many crises the presence or absence of this needed one vote; has made or marred the fortune of statesmen, policies or parties. | There is not much conevlation for the high proteetionists in a reeent telegram from Biddelford, Maine, announcing that a special through freight train of twenty-nine cars, all loaded with Peperell and Laconia milis cotton goods, consigned to Shanghai, China, had left that point for Vancouver. This is said to be the largest shipment ever made from those mills, and is very good evidence that our “infant industries” are not going to the “bew wows” under Democratic tariff reform, as Republican calamity howlers would} have the people believe.—Lamar Democrat.

C, April 10.— The attitude of the United States | ou the British- Venezuela question is the subject of a special message of President Crespo of Venezuela to the Venezuelan Congress. Upon its receipt the Congress | enthusiastically passed resolutions | thanking the United States for sym- pathy aud support Minister Andrade received copies of the message and resolutions and will deliver enrolled copies to the Stete Department and the President. Crespo says in brief: “The high powers of the United States have just given in the pend- ing question between Venezuela and England, a signal proof of the extent to which the principle of human justice prevails among the great people. The Chief Magistrate of tbat powerful republic, being per- suaded of the great peril which is involved for American interests through a prolongation of a conflict of such a grievance, expressed in bis message to Congress the strong wish of inducing Great Britain to put an end to the dispute by arbitration, a course long ago earnestly proposed there was introduced as a conse quence of the President’s salutary words, a resolution, which has been inserted in the Yellow Book of Venezuela, and in the terms of which is disclosed the noblest interest to- ward seeing the unfortunate centro- versey closed in conformitity with justice and reason.” Venezuela, feeling secure in her rights, is pushing forward enter- prises of improvement in the dis puted territory.

Lansing.and his sub- secpent published interview, accas ing the President of intemperanee, was shown to Mr. Cleveland this evening, he said witb considerable warmth: “This is simply an outrage,tbough | i$ is not the first time a thing of this kind has been attempted. I can not avoid a feeling of indignation that any man who makes claims to decency, and especially one assum- ing the role of a Christian minister, should permit himself to become a disseminator ot wholesale lies and calumnies not less stupid than they are cruel and wicked. “I easily recall other occasions when those more or less entitled to be called ministers of the gospel have been instrumental in putting into circulation the most scandalous falsehoods concerning my conduct andcharacter.The elements or factors of the most approved outfit for plac ing a false and bare faced accusation before the public appear to be, first, someone with a baseless motive suf- ficient to invent; second, a minister with more gullibility and love of notoriety than piety.greedily willing to listen to it and gobble it, and third, a newspaper anxiously willing to publish it. “For the sake of the Christian re- ligion I am thankful that these scandal-mongering ministers are few and on every account I am glad that the American people love fair play and justice, and that in spite of all efforts to mislead them they are apt to form a correct estimate of the| character and labors of their public servants.” Southern Man. Washington, D.
