More wagers were negotiated on this proposition than on any other The biggest bet made by Edward Bell was $2,000 to $1,000 on Van Wyck. The odds as the bookmakers post them are $200 to $100 on Van Wyck; $300 to $100 against Low, and $400 to $100 against Tracy.

HIS OWN SUCUESSOR- A few warwicke over the state, papers that are always fiading can didates for the offices, important or not it is the same to them, are Cockrell. A large pumber of names have been mentioned, all good and true men, either of whom would ac ceptably fill the bill. But the name of the U. S. Senator from Missouri will be Francis M. Cockrell, if ke lives and retains his health. Thisis as certain as any event can be fore told. He will succeed himself for the reason that he is the most useful ate to day. He is a great commoner. and throughout his long public ca reer he has retaived the confidence and esteem of ths peopls. His hon esty and pureness in public life have never been questioned and not the slightest taint of asenatorial job bas ever rested at his door As he grows cold he grows more in the es teem of his countrymen, if that 1s possible He will round out his long, brilliant and useful career in thai body ataripe old age, honored by men of al! political creeds as an up right, just and conscientious states man. COMPELLED TO GALL A HALT. President McKinley was com pelled by public opinion to call a halt in the proposed sale of the Pa cific roads and order a postponement until after congress convenes in De cember. He did this with very poor grace under the merciless lash of the democratic press throughout the country, that fully and fearlessly exposed the nefarious deal by which these great railroad properties were to be sold to a eyndicata of bankers aud brokers at a loss of more than fifty million dollars to the goyern ment. It isa notable fact that the gentlemen composing this syndicate were large contributors to the last national campaign fund, som: thing near two million dollars being cred- ited to them Itisalso a well known fact that these gentlemen claimed of the administration, a3 their ehare of the spoils, the right to name the attorney general, and Mr. McKenna was duly installed in that office. Mr. McKenna approved of the. proposed sale of these roads to the syndicate, if he was not a party to making the conditions of sale such as to shut out all competition. When the great democratic dailies throughout the country, headed by the St Louis Republic, exposed the echeme and called upon Mr. McKin ley to protect his own reputation by stopping what promised to be the greatest scandal ever knowa in the history of this government, be very complacently refused to interfere, the republicap papers rushed to his defense and the members of the syn- dicate congratulated themselves cn the success of their steal. The contemplated fraud was so apparent upon its face, and the proof as published was so over- whelming that Mr McKinley dared not further brave public opinion and declared tke deal off, thus admitting the fraud as charged Now, we should like to know how the great republican dailies, notably the Globe Democrat, is going to ex- plain it’s attitude in this matter. Later, it is announced that the re- organized committee has agreed to pay the full amount cf the govern ment claim on the Union Pacific and that eale will take place next Mon- day, as originally advertised. The sale of the Kansas Pacific will be postponed indefinitely. Pension Commissioner Evans is not sure that all big pensioners are worthy and is taking measures to re- duce the list. He says: “There are a number of persons on the pension rolls of the United States who are drawing $45 per month and upwards and it is my intention to prepare a list of them for publica tion. Hundreds are being provided for on this ro!l of honor, many of whom deserve all that can be given them, but there are others who are not eo deserving. We want to weed out all who are not entitled to con- sideration and the conciusion has been reached to spread the list of highly paid pensioners as widely as | possible.” The state tax of Illinois has been advanced ta 66 cents on the $100, an increase of 20 per cent from last year.

Cook of the state democratic committee is re ported to have recently given utter- ance to the following ia referencs to the future fusion: “Itis a question that handled carefully. Our friends must be treated very fairly indeed. How are they going to vote in 1898 and 1900? ‘The question is full of deep concern for the democra- ey and for the silver forces of all par- ties It is an essentially delicate {and difficult undertaking to maintain a fusion through successive cam- paigns, except between winority parties. The silver forces of Missouri whose interests are so thoroughiy mutual, ought to be held together This can be doneif the intelligence unselfishness and patriotism of the ast campaign dominates the anti- gold standard of the future. It is apparent that those democrars who voted for MeKinley and the small remnant who supported Palmer will co-operate with the republica:s in future campaigns. There were from 60,000 to 75,000 populists and free silver republic should be populist ns who voted the free silver ticket in the state last year. There were 30,000 former dem- ocrats who voted for McKinley. Should half of the republicans return to their original party and the poy us lists run a separate ticket in Missouri next year, the democracy would have a@ more critical condition than it has had to face since the days of disfran- chisement ” If this is a fair sample of the views | of the democratic poiticaus throughout the state and nation, and we hope and have reason t> belieye it is. we see no good reason why t co-;peration of forees that waza! ferred last year shall not coatinu and “iotelligence, unseifishness an pttrictism dominate the g standards in the future” It is ap parent that the democra's are faily cog: zant of the power of Misaeuwi vopulists They need uot fear th. power may nor be usel with “inte ligence, unselfishne:s aud patriot The of populists in Missouri will taks care to keep thei ant gold iem.” mass party ip existenc-, not simply b - cause they are devoted to it for its own sake, but sol+ly as a refuge in case other parties to the compact turn aside. prudence would dictate Toe bu'k cf the populist party are pliin, every day, carnes’ citiz: ne who car- nothiog f.r power and place. not ip the move- ment fir spoils but they beliy a fair and equtibls representation of all elements shou'd be bad as an earnest of good futr.

WasnineaTon, Oct. 26.—The indica- tions aow are that the government may yet reconsider its determination to ask for a postponement of the sale of the Union Pacific railroad. There are reasons for the belief that the government bas received an addi- tional proposition from the reor- ganization committee. This is be- lieved to be a material increase in the guarantee offer, provided the sale be allowed to proceed on the date originally fixed upon. This in- crease, it is reported, will make the committee's guarantee bid equal to the full amount of the government's claim against the Union Pacific road proper, or about $58,067,398. In that event it is altogether probable that the offer will be accepted and the sale allowed to take place on the day first agreed upon. To Escape a Husband's Wrath.
