The Jefferson City Tribure, of last week contains an obituary of David E Steele, a full cousin of Wm. Gladstone, of England. Mr. Steele was very oldand died on his farm near the capitol city. Matt Quay has the tight of his life on his hands, in his state. He wants to be chairman of the republican state convention of Pennsylvania, and the governor and other enemies have gone into the campaign against him. The populist state committee is making an earnest appeal to the party for money. Guess the mem- bers of the committee are running short of flour and bacon. We see Andy Hackett of the Rich Hill pop ulist chips in a dollar. Rev. R. L. Kirkland, pastor of the Savannah street Baptist church, St. Joseph, Mo., bas resigned his pas- torate, on account of ugly stories in circulation about him. His wife left the town several days ago, and the deacona refuse to talk of the troubles of their preacher. The republicans in the election of 1896, hope to slide into the white house on a tidal wave of dissension in the democratic ranks. Well maybe they will and maybe they won't. We will wait and see. As a rule the dem- ocrats do their quarrelling before ‘the convention and all unite after nominations have been made. It is announced now for certain that the Corbett-fitzsimmons prize fight will come off at Dallas, Texas, next October. The sportsmen are waking great preparations for the mil], while the preachers alliance is industriouly laboring with the gov- vernor to call the legislature in extra session te pass a law to prohibit prize fighting in the state. If tariff reduction is doing for this country all that is claimed, bringing prosperity and increased wagés to laboring men, then a further re- duction should be agitated. Under “the high tariff McKinley bill you - heard nothing of increasing pros- perity or increase in wages. It was all the other way and brought on the panic. A continuation of the fight for a further reduction of the tariff should net be lost sight of in the struggle for silver. —_——__—_ Up to date the names of the fol- lowing gentlemen have been promi- nently mentioned for the democratic They are Judge Gipson, of Kansas City; Judge Andrew Ellison, of Kirkville, State Auditor, J.

To what absurd lenghts a mistak- en sense of patriotism can be carried was shown in Detroit the other night when a chorus practicing for a G. A. R. celebration refused to sing “Dixie” on the ground that it was a }rebel song. With more actual rea- son that chorus might refuse to sing “America” because it has the tune of “God save the Queen.” “Dixie” is an American song despite its sec- tional bearing, and no American in this day need resist the thrill which must come to every real music lover when the old tune is rendered with its proper and inspiring verse —N. Y¥. World. Endorsed Judge DeArmond’s Course. The democracy of Johnson county met in convention at Warrensburg, Saturday and passed a ringing set of resolutions in favor of free silver at 16 tol, and favored the calling of a state convention. A set of res olutions was also unamiously passed endorsing the course of Senators Cockrell and Vest, and congressman DeArmond, for the stand they took as representatives of the state in congress on the money question. As Johnson county, in all probability, will have a condidate for congress before the next convention, the friends of Judge DeArmond in this section of the district look upon the endorsement given him by the con vention as significant. Yet it was nothing more than his honest, faith ful and conscientious course during his tenure has merited at the hands of his constituents. No dis trict in the state has a more coura- geous representative and his home people feel proud to know that his fidelity and honesty of purpose is appreciated and endorsed by the democracy of the district. Retires From Politics. Frankfort, Ky., July 1.—Gover- nor Jehn Young Brown communi- cated to the members of the press to-night his personal card withdraw. ing from the contest for United States Senator for Kentucky. He says he decided on this more than two months ago and confided the de- cision to his nearest personal friends. He says his reasons are purely per- sonal, but does not state them ex- plicitly. Those nearest to him know that he suffered terribly from the loss by death of an idolized daughter last October. The tragie death of his sen two months ago added to his affliction so that he desires the rest and quiet of private life. He was a | unlimited free coinage of silver. Eond Deal Completed.

Voorhees Says It’s Even. Terre Haute.

The ticket is a peed one, with the gifted and eloquent} Gen.

The indorsement| of Mr. Cleveland asd his Adminis tration was a most nature! thing in a Democratic convention, and the} indorsement of John G. Carlisle any where in Kentucky was a foregone conclusion, whether all his views were concurred in or not. | “There is nothing in the work of| the Louisville convention which calls | for or justities a spirit of boasting or of triumph among its members over} each other.” BULGARIA CALLS TURKEY | DOWN. | Situation Between the Two Countries Amounts Almost to a State ot War Sofia, July 1.—The Government of Bulgaria has requested the Turk- ish Goverment to explain the orders issued to the commander of the Tur- kish troops at Adrianople to act on| his own initiative along the Bulgar- ian frontier. At the same time the Bulgarian Government has notified the Porte that the duty of watching over the security of the frontier compels Bulgaria to take the mili- tary measures required under the circumstances. The situation is serious, almost amounting to a state of war,between | Bulgaria avd Turkey.

Richmond, Va., June 30.—Miss Minnie Wilkinson, » young lady of high standing in social and religious circles, committed suicide by shoot- ing in the second Presbyterian church of which Dr. Moses D. Hoge is pastor, about 7 o'clock this even- ing. The act was committed in one of the parlors, not far from the auditorium in which services were being held at the time. Disappoint- ment in a love affairiu which E. B. Marq uess, a nephew of Dr. Hoge, is said to have been concerned, is given as the cause. d Brings comfort and improvement and tends to peony enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the n of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax- ative ; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipatien. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid- neys, Liver and Bowels without weak- ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.
