It is Warner, Kerens & Co, against Filley. Sam G. Kelley, of Johnson county wants the republican nomination for governor. He has represented the eastern district of Johnson county in the legislature, stands 6 feet 2 inches high, weighs 240 and is red- headed. Major Warner of Kansas City avers that he will not be a candidate for governor. The announced can didacy of Major Walbridge of St. Louis, caused the Major to change his mind. Again he is in the com- bine against Filley and Davis. —_——__—_ From the way the Kansas City Papers are accusing and proving all manner of corruption and rascality in the administration of the affairs uf the city by the Mayor, it is evident that a plot is on foot to have boss Filley nominate Webster Davis for Illinois, for president, and John B. Gordon, of Georgia, for vice-presi- dent. They were both shot from different sides during the war, and Iam willing that they shall be put up again and shot at.” Congress has now been in session since before Christmas, and will some good reliable republican paper please tell us just what has been ac complished for the good of the coun try. It's true, a bond bill rushed through the House, and re jected by the senate. This seems to be the extent of the legislation and good promises. was Nationally the populist party has gone out of business. At the last election there were several states their vote amounted to almost noth- highly talented young gentleman, a good lawyer and a man who makes friends of nearly all with whom he comes in contact.” Captain Clark is a lawyer of decided ability, a for- cible and eloquent talker, a coura- geous and skillful debater and would make a prosecuting attorney second to none the county ever had. He came of democratic stock, is an active. energetic worker, a good or- ganizer and would make a strong candidate if the party should see fit to nominate him. Congressman William H. Crain, of Texas, died in Washington City Tuesday morning of catarrhal pneu- monia. He was taken sick last Thursday. He has represented his district in congress for the past ing, and if they again attempt to run a ticket it will have to be done by petition. So the populists will have to content themselves with county tickets here and there where they have an organization. ———EExE(E(Y]wHe ==, Congressman Hall, in a speech in the house Saturday, placed himself squarely on record in regard tv his views on the silver question, taking sides in favor of the gold standard Mr. Hall represents a 16 to 1 dis- trict and certainly counted the cost before he took the stand he did, and much credit should be given him for honesty of convictions and sincerity of purpose in making a change from free coinage to the single standard idea.

English died at his room in the Hotel English to day at 12:35 p.m, at the age of 73. Mr. English had been ill with the grip for two weeks. Several days ago rheumatism set in and the heart's action became bad. While his naturally strong con- stitution grave Mr. Hoglish’s friends hope for his recovery, his condition throughout has been considered grave. It was announced after the child- ren had consulted with friends of the family that the funeral would take place Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. It was left with Mr. Wall- ing to arrange the details. The burial will be at Crown Hill Ceme- tery, where Mrs. English is buried, and where Mr. English some time ago erected a beautiful family mon- ument. Mr. English was born in Lexing-| | ton, Soctt County, Ind, August 27,/ 1822. Before he had attained his majority he had identified himself with public life in Indiana, and for forty years he was a conspicuous figure in the politics of his State. Oblivion came only when he was unanimously nominated for the vice presideney in 1880 as arunning mate for Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock. Since his defeat he has rarely been heard of outside the limits of this city. Mr. English was arich man His wealth, which consisted mainly in real estate holdings is estimated by those acqainted with his affairs to be $5,000,900.

This seems to b the only method of obtaining reason- able fire-insurance rates.

The Legislature is growing weary of the fight. In the House this morning a resolution was adopted unanimously calling on Congress to make the election of Senators by the people direct.

SEAL The Youth’s Companion of Febru- ary 13th publishes an unusually valu- | able article for young men, by the Lord Chief Justice of England, om “The Bar as a Profession.” Sound advice taken from along and varied experience, and wise encouragement are given to young and prospective lawyers. It is as readable as astory, yet will bear careful study. Of eloquence Lord Russell says: “The desirable thing is to have some- thing to say; and as to the manner of saying it, Daniel Webster spoke truly in his celebrated oration in honor of John Adams when he said, ‘Clear- ness, force and earnestness are the qualities which produce conviction.’ "’ Regarding the necessary qualifica- tions for law: ‘‘Love of the profession for its own sake, and physical health to endure its trials, clear-headed common sense and ability to waitare the main considerationa to be taken into account in determining a ehoice of the bar asa profession. If the youthful aspirant possess these, suc- cess is, humanly speaking, certain. The lawyer must remember that while he is fighting for the interests of his client, there are greater inter- ests even than these; the interests of truth and honor; and he must never forget, as Sir Alexander Cockburn his weapon must always be thesword of the soldier, and never the dagger of the assassin.’ For the next issue of The Compan- ion, the Washington's Birthday Num- ber, Justice Oliver Wendel! Holimes, | the able inheritor of a great name, | has written an interesting supple-} ment to Lord Russell's article, pre-| senting the subject from an American | point of view. Appended to the) article are a brief rejoinder by Lord | Russell and a final comment by Mr. | Justice Holmes. Each issue of The Companion con- tains o r more articles of excep- tional value, written by the ablest men and women of the age. iff and financial questions until June, ‘interest the progress of the Venezu. held, and the fifty fourth congress, now in session, will furnish exceed. ingly interesting debates on the tar. There will be several exciting State elections and many great political speeches. Every one will watch with elan commission’s inquiry, the re. eult of the wars in Cuba, in South Africa, in Turkey, and the outcome of other complications now arising in the old world. 3 It is a remarkable coincidence that at the beginning of a year auc rich promise of stirring news the greatest metropolitan newpaper i the United States—The St. Louis Republic—should reduce it’s price to $6 a year, or to less than two cents a day. This low price now places The Republic within the reach of everyone. Those who wish to | keep posted on politics, trade, nm» tiunal and international affairs during 1896 should at once subscribe forit on these easy terms, in addition t taking their own local paper. Newspaper readers who may think they cannot afford to takes metropolitan daily paper should st least subscribe for the “Twice: week’ Republic—104 papers a year —for only $1a year. It contains the best of everything that appears in tke daily. Democrats should do what little they can to encourage Boss Filley to maintain his grip on the republican party of this state.
