Now look out for an advance in sugar. steerer nent John Sherman says it’s so, and Gen. Alger had just as well ‘fess up orshut up about buying votes in the republican national convention of 1888. The criticism of the Post Dispatch was dignified, though its arguments are faulty. The Union’s perversion of that criticism was undignified, dishonest and indecent, and is not worthy of a notice from us. A wise man has said, “Freedom from debt is necessary to the high est happiness.” We have no doubt but that many of our people who have passed through the experience will fully concur. The appointment of Hon. Joba I. Peak, of Kansas City, by the president to the post of minister to Switzerland, vice Hon. James O. Broadhead, resigned, gives general satisfaction. Mr. Peak is one of the best known democrats in the state, and his legal ability is of the highest order. Congress meets Monday. The eouncil and advice of the republican press tothe members is to do as little as possible. Such papers as the Globe Democrat know the fail- ing of the average republican con- gressman and to avoid strewing the road for 1896 with stumps and snags the advice is do nothing. The official vote of Kentucky, ex- cept one county which will proba- bly add 100 to Bradley’s plurality, is as follows: For governor, Bradley (rep), 172,476, Hardin (dem), 163,- 962; Pettit (pop), 16,911; Demaree (pro), 4,162; Bradley's plurality, 8,474. The vote in 1892 was: repub- lican, 135,441; democrat, 175,461; populist, 23,500; prohibition, 6,447. It will be gratifying news to every democrat in the state, who has the best interests of the party at heart, to know that the state committee has healed the wounds which have been bleeding for some time and that a meeting of the members, new} and old, has been called to meet in St. Louis in December. At this meeting harmony will prevail and a stop will be put to the wrangling | that has been going on. The Holden Enterprise is fight- ing the proposition the county court of Johnsan county has submitted to the voters to build a new court house at Warrensburg to cost $50,- 000. The argument the Enterprise uses against the construction of this needed improvement for the county, is baby twaddle. Johnsen county has no court house, the offices are farmed out about town and the En- terprise ought to have more county pride and less sectional hate and support the proposition. From November Ist to November 15th there was, according to the health officers report, seventy cases of diptheria and membranous croup in Kansas City. The record for the month is put at 105 cases. past two weeks 492 of manure and filth has been moved from the alleys, gathered | from about 3,009 spots, and twice as much filth taken out of back yards, also notices to clean over 500 foul smelling vaults and ce 1 were served upon residents. Fron this record it is no wonder conta gious diseases exist in Kansas City, and the people can congratulate themselves it is no worse In the! wagon loads, | “Hon. C. C. Maflit, Chairman Dem- | ocratic State Central Committee— | Sir: The undersigned democrats be | lieve there is neither necessity, oc casion nor place for two democratic organizations in the State of Mis- souri. To secure the success of the party rather than the triumph of any fac- tion, full and = fair opportunity should be accorded for discussing the question of free, unlimited and independent coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, and to that end we |respectfully request that your hon- orable committee call the State Con- vention for the election of delegates of 1896 at a time and for a date that will permit a full presectation of this important question tc the dem ocratic voters ot Missouri. We do not believe a State Con- vention for the election of delegates to a national convention should be called before that National Conven- tion is called by the National Demo. | cratic Committee. Such course would be irregular, in violation of the un- written laws of the party, and un- democratic. For 20 years past no democratic convention for the election of dele- gates toa National Convention has been held in Missouri at a date ear- lier than May 11. ‘The convention of 1884 was held June 24, and in that year the National Democracy achieved its first victory in 28 years. For 20 years past the State Dem ocratic Committee has not issued its call for a national delegate conven- tion at a date earlier than March 16; in 1885 the call was issued April 11. | Thereis every reason why the | precedents and usages of the party in this respect should be observed at this time. The democratic party in Missouri is now divided on the monetary question, the longer it is permitted to confer and deliberate the more likely it is to become unified. We believe that time will enable the discordant elements in our party in the state to become harmonious, and that mutual consideration and forbearance on the democrats will empower them to save Missouri from the fate which has followed upon party distractions in Kentucky, Maryland and other democratic strongkolds.” The following are deductions of the St. Louis Post Dispatch: “Is it possible that Federal! office holders in Missouri are being used to further the third term idea? Sue picion that they are is being hard ened into conviction in the minds of many well-informed and conserva- tive democrats. Scattered through the list of sig- natures to the demand for a post- ponement of the spring convention which ex Gov. Francis has printed in his newspaper—the Republic— daily are the names of postmasters, assistant postmasters, deputy col- lectors, marshals, ete. © °% * To illustrate the general rule here being applied to the analysis of ex- Gov. Francis’ list of obstructionists, |the case of Jacob Dickinson Allen, postmaster of Butler, will serve. For ten years Capt. Allen has been the editor of one of the most influential democratic papers in southwest Mis- staunch advocate of the free and unlimited coinage of silver until he was given the postmastership less than three years ago. Congress man DeArmond’s firma adherence to this doctrine was one of the main stock arguments which Capt. Allen kept hammering away at the opposi- tion until he helped secure the nom- ination for his distinguished fellow townsman. With so thorough an understanding between them on all points of party principle, Congress- man DeArmond set aside the strong claims of other applicants for the post-office, including those of Col. |N. A. Wade, editor of the rival newspaper, and gave the appoint- ment to Capt. Allen. In all public movements county for a score of years or more | Capt. Allen’s name has been one of | the first to appear in the published jlists, thus attesting his promi- jnence and importance But in the jlist from Butler, which Mr. Francis published in his newspaper Monday ;morning, Capt. Allen’s name was hidden way down toward the bottom and to find it one had to search the columns carefully.” We know of no way to preventa newspaper from distorting facts and perverting premises in order to de- sion to conform to it’s matter how vis onary The Post-Dispatch starts with the | assumption that*Federal office-hold- ers of Missouri are being used to |to National Democratic Convention | souri, the Buritar Ties, and was a! in Butler and Bates! | for the sake of argument, that such | | premises are true, how such a con-} clusion could logic follow is be-| |yond the comprehension of the av-| jerage mind. | The P. D. asserts with a flourish that the petition above referred to} | was being signed by postmasters, | | assistant postmasters, deputy col-| lectors, marshals, etc, and cites as proot thereof the name of one post- master, the editor of the Timzs. Out |of a list of several hundred names the P. D. could give but one federal office-holder. | The friendship existing between | the editor of the Tiuxs and Judge DeArmond, and the loyalty of this paper to that gentleman has never} been a matter for barter, and no un- derstanding, such as intimated in the P. D.’s strictures, eyer existed. Col. Wade was not an avowed candi- date for the postoftice at the time of our appoiitment. The editor of the Tixes has always been a consistent bimetallist and the democrats of Mt. Pleasant township can testify to the stand he took when the occasion presented that his vote was needed. The success of the party in the state is dearer to us than the advan- tage of one faction in the party over the other, and we do not believe the democratic party in the state will} assist in the scalping process being carried on by the editor of the Post-| Dispatch. Ex-Governor Francis is au im portant factor in politics in this state and he holds opposite views on the policy of the party to certain other members thereof,but it is hard- ly possible for him to be the main instigator and sole embodyment of the disaffection in the party that has existed up to the calling of the committee for December 3rd, as some socalled democratic news- papers would have us _ believe. No one man in this state owns, con trols, dictates or bosses the great democratic party. Governor Fran- cis has always shown himself to be a good democrat, a hard worker in the ranks and his views on the party policy are entitled to the same re- spect and honesty of purpose as those of Mr. Bland or any other prominent member of the party. This abuse, wrangling and calling names ought to be stopped, and the reform should begin with the papers which are almost, if not entirely, responsible for the so called disaffec- tion which has hertofore existing in patty. The committee has been called, the new members recog- nized,now let there be no go!d bugs, no silverites, and but one united democratic party for this state. John Sherman has been a long time telling about those secrets he knew of distinguished republicans buying delegates at the republican national convention of 1888. It may be the old man had in contemplation the sale of his book and held them back as an advertising scheme Mr. Sherman you, know, is a great financier. The Republic and Globe Dem- ocrat have reduced their eub- scription price to one cent to city subscribers, outside of the city the papers will be two cents except the Sunday issue which will be fiye cents per copy. \zation throughout the WE HAVE Large Orders for OURSPRING LINE OF BHOSLE OS8 80600069 OEE DOOOCOOONG } CARPETS.

CARRIES MILLIONS IN GOLD. | | Nearly Four Million Dollars go to Europe on the Campania, New York, Noy. 23.—The steam ship Campania, which sailed for | | Liverpool to-day, carried one of the; | largest shipments of gold ever sent | | from this port. The shipment con |sisted of $4,000,000 in gold bars ‘and $670,000 in gold coin’ The gold was not received until a few | moments before the departure of the | vessel. It was carted from the Sub. Treasury to the Cunard pier in ex press wagons, guarded by four men. | Each man had a rifle by his side. It | took three wagovs to transfer the | treasure to the pier. On the arrival | | of the wagons at the pier they were | driven close to the steamer. An ex tra gangway had been set up for the use of the men who carried the gold |aboard vessel. They were all old. | employes of the company. On the | deck a rope had been stretched from | the port to the starboard side of the ; | vessel to prevent the passengers and |of the gold. The strong box of tke | | Campania is a steel vault built in the | |main deck of the vessel. Its walla! | are two feet thick and is guarded by | |a@ door on which there are three | jlocks. The captain carries the key | | of one lock, the purser another and! \the chief boatswain the third. To. ;open the door three keys must be | inserted in the locks at the same |time. The gold is insured. We see from the Nevada Post,that \@ fire set by a passing train of the Pittsburg and Gulf, came near de stroying the buildings and crops on the R. T. Wall farm near Richards in Vernon county,2 few days ago. A stiff wind was blowing at the time and the fire lost no time in gain great headway The people from the town and surrounding country gathered, and bya united effort the flames were stopped at Mr. Longacre’s a tenant of Mr. Wali,but not until the fire bad burnt corn erib and grainery, destroying 2,000 bushels of corsa, 300 bushels of oats a fine brood sow, a large lot of hay, farm implements and numerous oth- er things about the grainery.
