The democratic party appears to have little sympathy in the defeat of Brice and Gorman. November 28, is the day fixed for Thanksgiving by the president’s proclamation. The republicans will not monkey with the tarift. John Sherman says 60 and John is the republican party. After clearing away the debris we find the democrats carried Virginia, New York City and Mississippi. The best thing the democrats can MUST GET TOGETHER. “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” This trite old saying |has been again amply exemplified by last week’s election. The repub derision, that democrats were not competent to manage the affairs of “land slide” in 1892, when the peo- ple by overwhelming majorities all over the country voted confidence in the democratic party, its leaders seemed to go daft and to not appre ciate the grave responsibilities which had come to them. Instead of at- tempting in one grand, harmonious, united effort to correct the evils of republican legislation, against which the people were rebelling, they be gan to shy stones at each other and make demagogic displays for the benefit of constituencies. No oppo sition has ever made the serious charges ef incompetency and dis- honesty against democratic leaders as they have against each other in the past two years. We charge, witbout fear of con- do now is stop discussing how it was done, and get together for 1896. In the language of the late Mayor John N.. Edwards, we will shuffle the cards and come again in 1896. _—_—_ ea If the recent election is a barom- eter of passing events 16 to 1 has gone as dead as the populist party. The suggestion of a short cam- paign for next year seems to gain momentum. The papers are calling for more business and less politics. The decisive victory of the Tam- many democrats in New York City, oyer all opposition, fully demon- artates the power of thorough organ ization. Since the election another presi- dential boom has been started fer ex-president Harrison. There are several gentlemen hot on the trail and there will be throat cutting in the convention. When a populist paper suspends publication what becomes of that silver dollar the good subscriber has paid in advance. If the editer fails to refund money he has collect- ed in advance for his paper, and fails to give value received, then he isa defaulter as muchas the abscond- ing bank cashier. What is going to happen next! Last week Filley and McCullagh of the Globe Democrat, broke bread at a feast in St. Louis. Some strange things happen occasionally in this glorious land of ours, and this Filley- McCullagh eating and drinking at the same festive board is one of them. The populist party in Indiana, since the election has gone out of business. C. B. Cummings, chair- ‘man of the state committee has re- signed, and nearly all the county committees have thrown up the sponge. The vote at the recent election of the party was so discour- aging as to disrupt and disband the organization. Ex-State Senator John P. Harman, aged sixty-five years died at his home in Holden, Mo., last week. He had been an invalid since 1888 when he was stricken down in the senate chamber by a stroke of paralysis. Senator Harman wass prominent democrat and one of Johnson coun- ty’s most respected citizen. He has many warm friends in this county and throughout the state who will be sorry to learn of his death. The Missouri river improvement association, the headquarters of which are in St. Louis, are making preparations to ask congress for an appropriatien of three million dol- lars to make the Missouri river navigable from St. Louis to Kansas City. With the advent of the repub- lican congress the jobs begin te make their appearance. The Butler Trxes is authority for the statement that Gen. B. G. Boone ot Clinton, is being importuned to become a candidate for governor, and that heis giving the same serious consideration. Gen. Boone is a fearless and courageous man, is well known throughout the state, has legal attainments of the highest order and his integrity and capabili- ty are such as to well fit him for the office of Missouri's chief executive. —Silver Slogan, Nevada. tradiction, that democratic leaders, and democratic leaders alone, are responsible for our defeats in the recent elections and the sooner they realize it and change their tactics the better it will be. The laity in the party care little for side issues and grand stand displays when it comes to the preservation of the democratic party. They love the old party principles too dearly and have too much confidence in its just and equitable provisions for the government of a liberty loving peo- ple to hazard a die on one issue alone. For more than a quarter of a century it battled for tariff reform, and continued defeats only made them hang more closely together, confident in the ultimate triumph of that principle, because it was right. This should be remembered by par- ties who are now trying to force a single issue to the peril of the dem- ocratic party and all it stands for. Democrats must get together. The Appleton City Herald and Clinton Democrat seems to have gone into a mutual admiration so- ciety to boom Hon. ©. C. Dickinson, of Clinton, for congress from this district. Mr. Dickinson is a very clever gentleman and a good lawyer, but we opine the district will again eall Judge DeArmond, the faith ful servant to represent the dis- trict. The people have tried Judge DeArmond, and know exactly where he stands on the leading questions and there will be no time for “swap- ping horses” in 1896 The party will want to put forward its strong- est and ablest men and when the time rolls round we have no fears, but that faithful DeArmond will be called upon to again head the ticket Of course it is pleasant to Mr. Dick- inson to have his name mentioned in connection with congressional hon- ors, but we suspect this is about as far as the gentleman will permit the suggestion to go. The election in the different states last week, demonstrates one thing fully, practically and completely, that the populist party has gone the way of the tadpole, the greenback and the union labor. It is dead. The returns of the vote show the above to bea certain fact and one beyond dispute. In Mississippi the populist made a firm and determined stand, and with the assistance of the republican party who made no nomination, but supported the pop- ulist ticket, they were beaten out of sight, the state going fifty thousand democratic. In Ohio, Ooxey, the populist candidate for gevernor, got a light vote in the state, and in Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, New Jersey and other states they either run no tickets or cast no vote. There is no populist party any longer, and there was no need of one in the first place. The Globe-Democrat says the Kentucky legislature on joint ballot stands 68 democrats, 68 republicans, one republican alliance man and one populist democrat. In this case the republican alliance man and the populist democrat hold the balance of power, and the question of who will be the United States Senator to succeed Blackburn, resolves itself down to dollars and cents.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 8.—Indi- cations point to the utter collapse of the populist party inIndiana. C. B. Cummings, chairman of the pop- ulist state committee, resigned to- day. Edgar A. Perkins, chairman of the committee in this county, re signed immedately after the late municipal election, and the commit- tee has gone out of existence. A majority of the members of the state committee are expected to fol- low example of Chairman Cummings The party has been rapidly disin tegrating since the election last year. The county organizations have near- ly all gone to pieces The newspa pers that were established in the in- terest of the party throughout the state hive nearly all suspended. The memb.rs have ceased to send in their contributions to the state com mittee, and the men who have been devoting their time to the party do not care to work any longer without pay. The Trusteeship of Wealth. A generation ago—nay, half a gen- eration ago—there was not a univer- sity in the land whose total endow Jobn D. Rockefeller has made to the Chicago University. And now Mr. Rockefeller uotities the trustees that on the 1st of January he will add another million in cash to the four more willions he has already given. He adds that he will give still two millions more on condition that the trustees shall secure a like sum from some other source or sources. This will swell his total benefactions to seven millions. At the same time it is announced that Mr. Carnegie, who has already given a great library to Allegheny, will give another to Pittsburg. These are illustrations of the new spirit in which men are learning to regard great wealth as a trust for humanity. We have had other illus- trations in the Tilden trust, the Fayerweather benefactions and the remarkable rapidity witb which the rich men of New York have convert- ed the Metropolitan Museum of Art from a meagre collection into one of the world’s great galleries. new, altruistic spirit among man- kind.

Galesburg, Ill, Nov. 10.—What the the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy officials here term a phenomenal run was made by a passenger train this forenoon. The distance from here to Mendota, eighty miles, wae cov- ered in eighty minutes, including five stops and two slow-ups. Super- intendent Rice estimates the stops and slow-ups caused a loss of twenty minutes. This makes the actual the rate of eighty miles an hour.

The free twelve weeks’ course in Agriculture, Horticulture and Vet erinary Science offered by the Col- lege of Agriculture of university of Missouri, beginning January 2, 1896, should be carefully examined by every young man who expects to re- main on the farm. The cost is a mere trifle, and it is possible that the instruction received tkere may enable him to avoid costly mistakes in starting and may show him how to stop many of the wastes on his farm.

Election Thugs Sentenced, St. Joseph, Mo, Nov. 7.—One of the evils of the last political cam- paign was concluded to-night when Isaac Fredericks, editor of the Mir- ror, ® colored paper published here and Prof. T. P. Langan, one of the teachers in the colored school, were found guilty of the charge of assault with intent to kill, and their punish ment fixed at two years each in the penitentiary. Langan and Freder- icks were prominent Republican pel- iticiane, aud becoming envious of Dr. J. R. A.

Twenty years ago it was the boast of the criminal classes that “hanging for murder is played out,” and the boast was justified. By an abuse of the plea of insanity and by virtue of prevailed the slayers of men were permitted to escape either with no punishment at all or with slighter terms of imprisonment than we give to comparatively mivor offenders. There are men conspicuous to day in politics or business who would have been executed for their homi- cides if their offenses had been com- mitted within the last two or three years. A great change for the better has occurred. The “insanity” plea must now be supported by trustworthy medical testimony before a jury will accept it as au excuse for the appar- ently deliberate killing of a human being. The sentimentalism that formerly biased judgment is no longer dominant. The ‘provoca- tions” which were formerly held to be excuses for homicide are infre- quently accepted as such. Courts, juries and the public have come to hold men of homicidal mind to a much more rigid accountability than they did twenty years ago, and the change isa great gain.—New York World WITNESS FE CUT DOWN.

Judge Thurman's Death Imminent. Columbus, O, November 8—The death of Allen G. Thurman, is feared by his family and friends, as a re sult of injury sustained in bis parlor where he fell. He thought he was strong enough to walk to the library and back to his chair. In returning to his chair he fell The fall result- ed in the serious injury to his hip. No bones were broken and his con- stitution was so strong, led to the belief that he would soon regain his accustomed health. The effect of the nervous shock seemed to have passed away, and Tuesday and Wednesday his physicians and friends thought he would undoubt- edly get up again in a short time. Yesterday, however, a severe relapse occurred, and there is now but little hopes that he can recover. His vig- orous constitution may yet pull him through, but the chances are against him. This information comes from members of the family. Judge Thurman was suffering eonsiderably tonight from the injury to hishipand rheumatism He may survive for several days or possibly weeks. “For Charity Sufferet h Long.” | “Satron ef a Benevolent Home | and knowing the good Dr. Miles’ Nervine | bas done me, my wish to help others, over- | comes my dislike for the publicity, this | letter may give me.
