The meeting which has been ex tensively advertised of the biennial convention of republican league clubs at Chillicothe this week, and which meeting was to be the opening of the republican state campaign, turned out to be almost a total fail- ure, not more than a thousand peo- ple being present. At the Arlington hotel, Moberly, Mo., a few days ago Jennie Berkley, of Monroe county, jumped froma second story window. One of her lege was broken in the fall. She was perfectly aude at the time.

The only argument the republican papers and statesmen give against free silver, is that it would lead to national dishonor and business ruin While they heap abuse on the silver cause not one reasen is given for the present hard times under the gold standard or in what respect times will be better if McKinley is elected. Maj. Thos. Hayes, of Lousville, Ky., with a party of friends camp- ing pear Hall's raneh, Arizona, tells of a mighty meteor which struck the earth about two miles north of their camp Sunday night about 9 o’clock. The Maj. says the concussion was terrible, the earth trembled and the noise was like that of many cannons fired simultaneously. The air for miles arcund was filled with sul- phurous gas, and the meteor came down red hot and smeking. The decent of the meteor was the mest brilliant, grand and awe-inspiring sight I ever witnessed, said the Maj. It was simply beyond the power of tongue or pen to accurately describe it. The heat from the meteor was so intense it will be several days before the place it struck can be examined The hole it made in the earth cevers about two acres and the meteor is embeded many hundreds of feet in the earth. A Mexican herder, his wife and three children te-gether with 1,200 sheep in range of the meteor went down under the mighty mass and were buried. Our esteemed friend John. W. Duuean, Adrisn’s efficient postmas- ter, has been having dreams for sev- eral years through the medium of which he has been enabled to accu- rately foretell the results of great political conflicts in this country. In 1884 he foretold the election of Mr. Cleveland months before the election, and in 1888 his dream as accurately foreshadowed his defeat. Again in 1892 vision of his broth- er, who resides ina western state, appeared seated upon a white horse, bearing a message of great demo cratic victory. Fifteen months ago Mr. Duncan had a dream which augured well for democratie success this year. The prospects were so gloomy at that time that John’s friends, who swap stale jokes and tobacco with him in the rear of the P.O, gave him the “horse laugh.” But after Mr. Bryan's triumphal journey into the enemy’s country, he could afford to have another dream, and this time he is given respectful attention. The full story of Mr.Dun- can’s marvelous powers as a sooth sayer through the medium of dreams isgraphically told in the Sunday Re- public, illustrated by the dreamer’s picture and vouched for by C. L. Mills and J. Scudder.

Ever since the meeting of the Pop- ulist National Committee at St. Louis; last January, when the place and! date for the national convention were | determined, certain Populist editors | in this state have apparently felt it incumbent upon them to harshly criticise Chairman A Rozelle. Tak ing their cue from fake interviews they allowed their distorted imagi nations to run riot with their judg | ment and have given utterance to statements absolutely false. Chief! among them is one W. O. Atkeson, | editor of the Butler Free Press, the | fellow who led a solitary, single | handed bolt from the Sedalia con- good time to lay in flour vention. From the last issue of his paper the following drivel is taken: “Our resolutions tying the hands of our State committee go that they could not do other than therein provided were destroyed by the adop- tion of the ‘‘harmonizer’’ and will be totall ig- nored, Asit turned out the whole matter of union of electors with the democrats was left in hands of Chairman Rozelle and his committee todo as they please. The party as such will have nothing whatever to do or say about it. Indeed, it appears from the proceedings of the committee as published in the Sedalia Capital that Chairman Rozelle is not bound to even call his committee together to arrange so trifling a matter. And he is the same Rozelle who stood before the Missouri delegation in St. Louis after convention had adjourned and expressed his dissatisfaction with the nomination of Mr. Bry- an, and prated about being in the middle-of-the road, and whined about certain criticisms of his ante-convention conduct in the Missouri world. But let that pass. We maintained before Sedalia convention,and maintain now, that it would be fair and right for the democratic electors to support Watson if our electors support Bryan. That was the gen- eral understanding at St. Louis as everyone knows who attended that convention, Asit stands Watson will get only three or four votes and Sewall will get thirteen or four- teen in Missouri unless Chairman Rozelle gen- ereusly concedes the whole seyenteen to Sew- all.’” The course pursued by Chairman Rozelle needs no further vindieation than that given by the new State central committee which unanimously re elected him as chairman. For per- senal censure we care nothing—if men will alow malice to warp their veracity their own actions will con demn them. But when censure takes the form of wilful misrepre aentatious relative to the actien of the state committee we think it time to calla halt. Who is this man, At keson, who presumes to set himself up as an oracle of political piety and censor of the actions of all who do not follow his beck aud call? He is a netorious fusionist who came to this state from West Virginia, about sixteen years ago, running for office, and has been a standieg candidate ever since. Away from home, when ever he aspired to be considered a leader, he has posed asa straight, unswerving middle of the-roader—at home when his own personal inter- ests were at stake he has neve. hesi- tated to grasp amy fusion deal or scheme which favored his own elec tion. The most notable instance of hie fusion propensities was in 1892 when, by very smooth manipulation, he succeeded in having his name placed en the republican ticket as a candidate for circuit judge agaiust Lay. When defeated at the polls, by the aid of Populist who contrib uted money to pay the expense (some of whom he has sincsa insulted and villified) he carried his case to the supreme court and was beaten again. This same saint posed as boss of the ultras in the Misseuri delegation at the national conven tion and succeeded in making him self ridiculous. At the state con- vention at Sedalia he undertook to carry out the role of bess and was ingloriously sat upom; ther, like a spoiled boy, he led a bolt which no one fellowed. He refused to place Bryao’s name on the national ticket until compelled to do so by the di rectors of the Free Press. By his eontemptible bossiem and domineer ing he has practicaliy disrupted the party in Bates—the heretofore ban ner county of the state. We are not actuated by personal feeling in presenting the above facts—we want the honest, intelligent Populist of the state to know the manner of man who presumes to set himself up as dictator. What can be expected from such acreature? What credence sheuld attach to the utterances of a bolter, a man who publicly repudi- ated the action of an overwhelming majority of the state convention? As such he is no longer to be con- sidered a member of the party. It isa fact notorious througheut the state that his offieiousness at St. Louis and Sedalia was prompted by purely selfish motives—he wanted te be elected chairman of the state committee. Failing in that he al- lowed his true character to manifest itself and he would williegly have disrupted the party.

Passengers on Conductor Conner’s Train Witness a Tragedy. | Ciinton Democrat. Maj. R. H Melton, of Clinton, was} a passenger on Conductor Conner’s train south on the Memphis road Tuesday night and witnessed a mur- der tragedy. The train stopped at Mastin’s switch to let a north bound freight pass. This is near the Missouri Kansas line, just on the Missouri side. A wagon road crosses the track at the switch, and a party of movers was camped in the road less thana hundred yards from the track. In their wagon were several women and children. Three or four men were standing in the road. As the freight train passed, the passengers heard the report of a gun and heard Cun ductor Conners, who was on the rear platform, say a man had been shot. Maj. Melton jomwed the Con- ductor and saw one of the men hold- ing a smoking rifle while another one lay prone on the ground dead. Conner called to the conductor on the freight to report the murder at the next town and then pulled out. It transpired however that the man who did the shooting was a constable named Frank Hodges. The man he shot was accused of stealing harness and had resisted arrest and steod the officer oft with arevolver. Hodges gota rifle and going to the camp, shot the thief dead when he resisted arrest.
