The interesting process of elimin. ating Filley bas begun again in the republican party in Missouri. While that eperation is goiog on there usu- ally is fun enough for several states, and some to epare Telling the truth seems to be the body of Filley’s of fending. He turns the X ray ma- chine right on the party in Miesouri and the revelations are decidedly unpleasant to what “de old man’ atyles the “leprous gang.”—Bolivar Herald. The city council and Water Works Co., of Sedalia, are having a moukey and parrot time of it. On account of the prolonged drouth the water company is not able to live up to all the provisions of its contract, in ceference to pressure, quality of water, etc. While we believe that city councils should hold franchise holders atrictly to their contracts, it is hardly fair to take advantage of ehert comings on extraordinary oc casions like the one now on, and for which the company can be in no way responsible. The Lamar Democrat office was burglarized lest week. It seems almost incredible that a man would break into a printing office with the expectation of finding money, but the most remarkable part of the whele story is that the Democrat man confesses to having left $20 or $25 io bis desk, which was of couree stolen. Delinquents will be mighty slow about bringing in corn and cord wood to an editor who con- fesses to having that wuch money ahead. Reciprocity for the benefit of the rich is what the administration is trying to bring about by the reci- procity treaty with France.

CARRYING THE FIGHT TOO FaR jright When it says that the Kansas /City Times is carrying the fight jagainst Governor Stephens too for. The Times is not a servitor to any man or official, and always approves of a fair, open criticism of an officer's acts, when such is deserved. We believe that a just criticism from a newspaper hss a salutary effect upon the officer criticized and upon tbe party. We believe, further, that demo cratic papers should not hesitate to condemn all wrong in democratic officials We do not belong to that class of politicians who beleve that demo cratic papers should coyer up and conceal all wrong doings of a public official because he was elected by the democratic party. We b-lieve that a democratic official should be like Ceaear's wife, above suspicicn But before a paper should enter into euch criticiams it should have a substantial cause to do so. Then point out the error or wrong doing, and condemn it in no unmistakable terms. But until a democratic official commits such an ov-rt act, he is en- titled to and should receive the support of the democratic press The back-biting, nagging, fault- findiog, quarrelous course the Kareas City Times is pursuing toward Gov ernor Stephens, is not worthy of so great a journal as it is, and the friends of the Times in this section do not approve of its course in that matter. The Times did not hesitate to condemn the action of Governor Stephens in pardoning the banker thief, Sattley, but aside from that, hie public acts, in our tumble opinion, dese ve the hearty support of all democrats and democratic papers of the state. JULIAN FOR GOVERNOR. “The Lamar Democrat, eince such a vigorous protes!, withdraws Hon. D. A DeArmond and substitutes Judge Gantt for governor.. A good mun but the same objection arises— we need him where ha is Why not take such a vigorous, thorough going democrat as Heory S_ Julian, of Kansas City, who is hated more by the corporations than any other man in the state and is one of the origin. al silver fighters in the West.” The above is taken from the Pleaa- ant Hill Gazette; and, while we have no intention of “booming” Mr. Julian, or anyone else, for governor at this time, we wish to testify to his integ rity, sincerity and faithfulness. The editor of the Timzs and Mr. Julian were boys together and later were classmates in college and we were a clore observer when his character was first forming. While conten- tious, at times, toa degree border- ing on stubbornness, when he believ- ed himself in the rigat, bis sincerity and integrity were unimpeachable at all times. His was a chivalrous na- ture and wherever there wasa sem- blance of oppression Henry Julian could always be counted upon the side of the weak and oppressed. He came of a fine old Kentucky family, without a blotch on its fair escutch- eou. We watched closely his actions in the Missouri legislature, and note that the characteristics of his youth were sti'l retained by the matured man. His vote and voice were al- ways on the side cf the people and agaiust oppressive corporative legie- | lation. There aretwo prominent candi- dates for Judicial honors in this dis tric!, Hon. W. W Graves, of Bates and Hon. C. A. Calvird, of Henry, eo far theseare the oaly two who have signified their intentions of tunpiog. Mr Calvird is a good law- yer, and well qualified for the office.

It may mean inability to retain food or to digest it. It may mean nausea, pain after eating, fullmess, inordinate craving for food, or entire lack of appetite. Whatever it means, there’s trouble, and it’s with the stomach. If you have stomach trouble, you will be interested in this letter from a man who had it and was cured by Auer’s Pll “For nine years I suffered from stomach trouble. I tried the aid of the best doctors of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, and spent large sums of money, all in vain. One day while waiting a train in Bellaire, O., I icked up a paper with a notice of Ayer’s Eereanastiie I got one bottle to try it. It did me so much good that I purchased five more bottles. I took four of them and gained in flesh, my appetite improved, and now I can eat anything. My stomach is all right, thanks to the use of Ayer’s Sarsapa- Filla.””—CaLvIN M. STEVENS, Uniontown, Pa. MESSAGE FINDS SCANT FAVOR Among Senators ant Representatives it Fails Flat. Washington, D. C., Dec. 6.—The President's message has not been kindly received by many of the Sen ators and members of Congress.

This the curators have decided to do, and the Republicin authorities will secure a speaker at an early date Mr. Bryan spoke on “Bymetallism” and gave bis shers of the proceeds, $250, to the university. Some years ago when Bryan asked permission to speak in the chapel be was re- fused the privilege. The prelimioary examination of Wm Kaderly aod. Wm.
