It needed | jaeh an issue 2s the late campaign to call out the electoral reserves dmost to the last man. But this fact cannot account for i in increase which would imply the iremendous growth cf more than 9,000,000 people in ten years. The reserve vote will probably account forbalf of the increase above the tural increase, which should be thout one million. The other half gillion must be accounted for in wmecther way The tremendous jnorease in the vote of Chicago, out ofall proportion to the growth of that city is reported in the last school census, and the polling of one million votes by the fess than 4000,000 inhabitants of Ohio lead tosuapicion of false registration aud illegal voting in saveral states. Thia watter is worthy of careful investigation. 1 Representative Dougherty’s Views. Fayette, Mo, Dec 1—Hon. ©. A. Dougherty, Representative elect of Howard county, and who also repre ented the county in the Legislature in 1892 and 1893, in conversation tith a Republic correspondent, said: “Wo propose to make it hot for the railroads at the coming session ofthe Legisiature. The first thing in order will be to make the railroads carry passengers at 2 cent per mile, and also to carry the grainand stock of the farmers to market at a reason thle price. The railroads are charg ing the same rates now that they did when the farmers were getting $1 00 per bushel for wheat and 5 cents per pound for pork and 6 cents per pound for cattle. Now that the farmers are selling their farm pro ducts at balf this price, we think that the railroads stould decrease s ee ftheir rate charges in fair and just “3 proportion.” — | Not only will Mr. Dougherty be in favor of reduced freight aud express 1d [rates, but he will also favor taxing { fthe railroads, and make them pay st TF taxes equal to those paid by private individne!s throughout the State. Lf “The rattrouds took suck °n active and important part iu the recent election to defeat the farmers im their efforts to get un increased vol } Fume of money,” said Mr. Dougherty. W Pethat the farmers of Missouri wil - Jnow take au important partin bring ing the raitroads to time.” When any part of the body isn’t nk B doing the work that nature inteude. it to do, it puts the whole system out of tune—out of harmony.

Washingtov, D.C, Dec 9 —Mark Hanna will remata here until Satur- day. Prominent Republicaus from all sectious continue to call on him. Imporant conferences are held daily, and the question of securing two or three United States Senators in States in which the Republican chances are uow regarded as doubt- ful is being cousidered carefully. Is dawns upon Republican leaders since a number of their formar allies refused to affiliate in caucus, that something heroic must be done, to ineure a party majority in the next Senate. The best figuring gives the Ra- publicans at present two short of control. If they should re-elect Pritchard io North Carolina, and elect Blackburn’s successor, they would still lack one of a majority. lt is understood attention is to be paid to South Dakota, in the hope of capturing that seat. It 1s generally thought that the Republicans who bulted the St. Louis Convention will stand firm and oppose the McKinley Adminis tration to the bitter end, unless con- cessions are made to silver. His Last Term. Next month Judge E. C. Crow will hold his last term of circuit court in Jasper county before laying aside his judicial robes to become attorney seneral of the State. His services on the beoch have endeared Judge Crow to the people of Jasper county. Republicans and Democrats alike honor and esteem him, for all realize that in him they bave found a worthy and just judge. While Judge Crow’s county natur- ally appreciates the high honor con- ferred upon him and rejoices over bis election as attorney general, his departure will nevertheless be deep- ly regretted by a community which hay long known this distinguished jurist. but Jasper county's loss is the State’s gain, and when an able circuit judge passes out of office an able attorney general will pass into oftice —Joplin Herald.
