TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: The Weekty Timzs, published eyery Thursday, will be sent to any address ene year, postage paid, for $1.00. Ex congressman Bland is having a triumphant march in his lecture} tour through Colorado. The Kickapoo Indian reservation, ‘ay proclamation of the president, is thrown open to settlement to-day and it is estimated that 75,000 peo-| ple will make the run for farms. The scope of country opened is one hundred and thirty-five thousand acres. The Clinton Democrat gives no- tice that Henry county will, st the proper time, present a candidate to the district for democratic nomina- tion for congress. The Post-Dispatch announces that Warrensburg will tret out a man in the person of A. J. Connelley. Judge DeArmond las given this district faithful and honest service and it is the opinion down this way that he will be his own successor. The income tax law has been wiped from the statute books, de clared unconstitutional by the su- preme court of the United States. This cuts off a large revenue that were expect from the income tax, and President Cleveland may find it necessary to call an extra session of congress to devise means ‘o raise sufficient revenue to run the govern- ment Justice Shiras changed his vote, making five against and four for sustaining the law. The dispatches say the lobby in- fluence is dominating the Illinois legislature and jobs are being work- ed through that body that will do the state great damage if their schemes are carried out. The day ig coming when the lobby influence cin-atate legislation will be no more. Tho people are getting tired of elect- sing members of legislatures whose votes can be controlled and purchas- -ed at will, by lobbyists kept at the capital by corporations; and when the people are once aroused there will be a mighty reckoning with sthese fellows. The democratic county committee -of Chariton county, in the following cesolution, pay Sam B. Cook, editor of the Mexico Intellgencer, and member of the state central commit- tee, a high compliment for the brave stand he has taken for white metal: “Resolved, That the thanks of ail patriots, lovers of the constitution and friends of justice are due Sam .B. Cook, member of the democratic state committee, for the bold stand he has taken in the coinage of silver at it's ancient ratio and the firmness with which he resisted the conspira- ey on the part of a little cabal of ; gold bugs to stifle the voice of the people and to strike from our finan- cial system more than one-half our ~sirculating medium. And we, the democratic central committee of Chariton county, hereby tender him our thanks and pledge him our sup- port in this fight until the victory shall be won.” “Judge Priest, of St. Louis, recent- ly appointed federal judge for the eastern district of Missouri, by pres- ident Cleveland, resigned Friday, and inside of av bour after his resig- pation had been filed with the president, Judge Elmer B. Adame, of the same city, received the ap- ‘pointment to succeeded him on the bench. In giving his reason for resigning Judge Priest, said: “I re- signed because I felt that a man at amy time of life who had not amassed -a fortune which would bring him in a fair income, could not afford to ac- eept the position at so small a sala- ry. I had contemplated for some time giving up the exclusive railroad ‘usiness and taking up the general practice. That is what I shall do now. I felt that my first duty was to my children, and the salary of a United States judge would not war- question.

No matter what the party action this year, the issue will be sharply drawn and fought toa finish in the state convention of 1896 The silver advocates probably reason that an oyerwhelming major- ity in a convention now would en- courage and assist them in the fight @ year hence. This might be true, and, on the other hand, it might have just the opposite effect, by exposing their strong and weak points to the op- postion, and lulling to sleep in fan- cied security the advocates of the white metal while the ‘sound money” advocates made a strong, vigorous and possibly effective campaign So far as we are concerned, indi- vidually, we have always believed that a majority should rule. We believe in this as one of the funda. mental principles of the democratic party. If itis made plain to the state committe that a majority of the democrats of Missouri want a con vention called this summer, it is it’s bounden duty to call it, no matter what may be the opinion of the in- dividual members. Mr. Carlisle in his Covington speech gave a forceful exposition of the Administration views on the financial question. It is the most forceful speech from that side yet made and the Times will publish it in full as soon as space will permit. The reporters for the Post-Dis patch have been excluded from the Senate. This action on the part of the Senate is the result of the severe criticisms of the papers on the acts of the senators. It is said the House will take similar action. Senator Vest will return home from Washington City, this week, and says he will spend the summer on his farm, and will take no part in politics and will make nospeeches in the state. He wants a rest and intends to take it. Robert Tyler Jones, grandson of President Tyler, and the only male person ever born in the White House, died in Washington City, Sunday. He was the son of Mary Tyler Jones, the eldest and favorite daughter of the President. He served in the confederate army as a captain and a brave soldier. After the war he was employed in the Treasury department for a number of years. Under the new tariff regulations the Carnegie Iron Company of Pitts- burg, Pennsylvania, has advanced the wages of it’s 25,000 workmen 10 percent. Whenthe McKinley bill went into effect a reduction of 10 per cent took place and a bloody riot at Homestead was the result. Other factories have filed their inten- tions of a raise in wages. From the general prosperity of the country and stiff stimulation in business it seems the new tariff is beginning to exert itself in the interest of the laboring classes.

Speaking of the silver question, he said: “I am too old to change my views on the silver ques- tion. I have always been a friend of silver, and it will always remain the money of the common people while gold will be the money of the rich. I hope I shall be able to make another campaign on that subject.” “When we talk about free silver we must recollect that this country was for eighty one years prior to 1873 practically on a silver besis. This country fought the war of 1812 the Mexican war and the war of the rebellion under silver. The opposi- tion to it is knavish and speculative. By pronouncing against silver and driving it out as a currency the pur- chasing power of gold is increased, and that is what the rich are after.” Caution of a Suteide. Birmingham, Ala, May 16.—W».

Sheriff Colyer brought the accus- ed to Clinton and Tuesday morning jhe was arraigned and by consent withdrew his former plea of ‘not guilty’ and pleaded “guilty” of murder in the second degree. Judge Lay thereupon sentenced Long to |the peniteatiary for life, speaking at some length upon the enormity of his crime. LONG'S FIRST CONFESSION. As previously stated, Long had steadfastly maintained his innecence and has always refused to discuss his case oc to throw any light upon the motives which prompted the deed. Immediately after he was sentenced aud returned to jail, a Democrat reporter visited the jail to obtain, if possible, his confession of why and in what manner he commit- ted the awful crime for which he is under sentence. He at first refused to in any manner discuss the crime, but a second visit, after giving him an opportunity to think the matter That Tired Feeling Means danger.
