Prescription Druggist. A Plain Fact. Jefferson City Tribune. So far as is known at present the raest important subject in relation to dollars and cents that will come up before the next general assembly will be the matter of the criminal costs. The Tribune bas siderable to say on this subject of late pears, and indeed it affords a field of wide speculation. The leg- islature of 1897 will be compelled to apprepriate about $1,000,000 for criminal costs, and under the pres- ent laws it is doubtful if this sum will meet all the demands. The state never had a more careful auditor than Hon. James M. Seibert and yet last year he was compelled to allow claims ot more than $450, 000 for criminal costs. There is no use to mince words abeut criminal cests. People gifted with cemmon sense are able to lecate the errors of thelaw. The practice of law was changed greatly in this state within the last twenty-five years. The main practice now de- pends upon defending criminals and prosecuting damage suite. Equity cases are rare and quickly adjusted; se there is little practice of this kind. The main ambition of every had con | waiting for the witnesses of the | state to either die frem old age or scatter and render conviction ques- | tionable or impossible. This matter, hewever, must be settled by the tax-payers to suit themselves. If they desire to keep on paying money to enable criminals | to defeat justice, then no one has a right to complain. | Vest and Cockerill. | Clinton Democrat. A great deal of weightless gossip }and speculation has been indulged in by the press of the State, predi- |cated upon the sensational reports sent out by Washington correspon- dents, who earn their bread by the sweat of their imaginations, and who haye had much to say coneerning the political future of the United States Senators from Missouri. First | When the present adwinistration | | came into power there were in the) |treasury about 29,000,000 in silver | dollars coined frem bullion under} | the act of 1890, and available for ibe| redemption of treasury notes issued | in payment of the bullion purchase Sinee August, 1893, about $18,000- 000 ef these notes have been re- deemed in silver dollars and cancell- ed. The secretary of the treasury has new decided to coin from the bul- lion now on hand and purchased under the act of 1890 about $18,- 000,000, which will restore the amount of dollars in the treasury to what it was on March 3, 1893. The average cost of the silver bullion purchased under the Sherman act was 71 }c on the dollar, which leaves 4 gain or seignorage of 28 tc on the dollar. At this rate the seignorage on the $18,000,000 to be coined would be $5,130,000, which will be accounted for in the available cash on hand, increasing it by that amount. Opening the Campaign. The campaign in Missouri will practically open with the meeting of the Democratic state committee at Excelsior Springs Saturday. The committee will fix a date for the convention to elect delegates to the nations! convention at Chicago, and it is probable that the time for hold- ing the state nominating convention will aiso be discussed. | we were told that Senator §Vest had decided to voluntarily retire; and now it is proclaimed that a council of Democrat politicians has decided te use the name of Senater Cockerill to head the State ticket. And, asa digression, it may here be noted that a distinguished Democrat, himself an office-holder under Cleveland, and whose name has ever been mentioned in eonnection with gubernatorial young disciple of Blackstone is to | honors by his friends, has so fergot- become noted as a great criminal;tem himself as to proclaim with lawyer and save murderers and | frankness that is neither commend- thieves from meeting the penalty|able nor prudent, that “Cockerill the law imposes upon them.

In thislatter | tration view; but the fact remains class of cases all the costs incurred by the prosecution must be paid by ; the public—the taxpayers. Matters have now come to such a pase the entire revenue of the state is threatened from the item ef crim- inal costs alone. This brings the question right home to every man who isa tax paying citizen of the state. If the people of Missouri want to maintain a system of laws under which every criminal with any means at his command can defy jus- tice indefinitely, and also under which the hands of every trial judge are manacled and the criminal elects his own time about being tried, then the present laws should be contin- ued. Ifthe tax-payers of Missouri that Missouri cannot be Kentucky- ized, even if Senator Cockerill should resign a sphere of action fer which he is so well fitted, to enter State pelitics. The thought will occur to every Missourian, what will be the status of this State in the Senate in the event of the retirement of one or beth of the present Senators? The Senate is a conservative body. Years! of service, familiarity with political | history, international relations, and indead, every detail of Governmental policy, is essential to insure Sena- torial standing. There are many good Democrats, able and excellent | men, whe, as Governor, could con- \ There seems to be no doubt that delegates to the national convention will be selected no later than April 15, the time fixed by the Pertle Springs convention. The Democrats of the state fixed that date in order to give Missouri a chance to declare its position op free silver for the effect it would have on other states. There is no secret that this is the reason an early date was set, and there is no reason why there should be. The Democracy of Missouri is practieally unanimously in favor of bimetallism, and it has a right to make the fact known whenever and however it seems fit. The free silver men control the cemmittee and the party, and the majority will rule. If the gold standard advocates are wise, and if they are as good Democrats as they pretend to be, they will make their fight in the primaries, and then ac quiesce gracefully in the result. There is no law or party usage to forbid making a manly fight, but there is a standing rule against bolt- ers.—-Kansas City World. A New Rapid Firing Gur.

C., Jan. 22.—As- sociate Justice Field has yielded to the long standing desire of Presi. dent Cleveland and ageed to retire He will go upon the retired lists at the close of this term of the supreme court, if he keeps the promise he made recently to the president and Senator White of California. The senator is authority for the above statement, and for the information that Justice Field's successor has been practically agreed upon in the person of Judge Erskine M. Ross, who President Cleveland in hie first |terms appoimted on the United | States circuit bench in the state of California. Judge Ross's nomination will be satisfactory to Justice Field.

It seems Successor to like a travesty on justice that a man who steals a horse or two should be shut up for a term of six years,while he who takes a human life receives only the penalty of a single year in Mexico horse thief. More is the pity that in the case of the greater crime there is more delay in bring- ing the culprit to trial and greater exercise of leniency than is shown toward a petty class of criminals. Let it be hoped, at least, that some influence may result from the prompt application of justice in the case cited. Something of that kind would exert a moral influence in this neigh- borhood that would be of the great- est benefit to the entire community. —Kansas City World.
