SECRETARY COOK'S Defamers of Missouri Are All} Republican Leaders and Organs of the Party. ALLEN’S CHARGES REFUTED.

So far the faith- his spirit gone among fulwhe are shaping the Republica: that party police the term ‘poor old Missouri’ has become the Repub- lican battle ery. Every expression of derision and _contemptajainst.the State, however, baseless and unjust, or whoever made be, is hailed with approval by Republican party lead- ers and by the most prominent Re- publican party journals. A SAMPLE CASE, “A case directly in point: At the banquet given in Kansas City in February by the Young Men’s Repub- lican Association, a State organiza- tion of which beth Colonel Kerens and Chairman Akins are members. Henry J. Allen, of Kansas, made use of this language: “In Missouri are many remote communities, untraversed by rail- roads, unlighted by electricity, un- visited by newspapers. The people} men who shape the policy of the par- who were born there and who yet live| ty do not come from this class.” there are hereditary Democrats. The problem there can be solved only by by the slow process of education.’ “Strike from Mr. Allen’s language the word ‘Democrats’ and substitute the word ‘Republicans,’ and even Mexico, is here closing a big cattle then such a slander on the State deal. The sale will include twenty. would have raised a storm of indig- five thousand head of cattle, which nation in any Democratic gathering. “And yet this slanderous attack on} ming and the Dakotas. To trans- the Commonwealth was applauded by the 500 Republicans who sat ‘around the banquet board, and was published wits approval vy the lead- ing Republican papers of the State, | ing $175 sofor the past forty years. He would have informed Mr, Allen further that the number of communities ‘unlight- ed by electricity’ were much fewer in Missouri than in his own State of Kansas, He -ould have informed him further that there is no county in Missouri that has not one ormore newspapers, while in his own State of Kansas there are five counties which have no publication at all. “This loyal Missourian could, had he been present, have said further to Mr, Allen that Kaueus there are just the same num- ber of counties untraversed by rail- Missouri, and that four of the five bear the good Kepubliean in his own State of roads as in names of Stanton, Stevens, Morton and G “Then this loyal Missourian could have wone further and informed Mr, Allen that the State he had so gross \ 1 wr vent school fund of any State in the rating over $12,000, waddition in the interest Union, ager O00; that, oncthis magnificent sum, Missouri distributes to her distriet schools one-third of her entire State revenue amounting to over a million dollars annually, “He could have said to Mr, Allen that the tax Missouri for State purposes was less than half rate in whatitis in his own State of Kansas; that the Missouri tax rate was the lowest of any State in all the inther, Union SOME SOLID FACTS, eo? Then this loyal Missourian could have gone still further and informed Mr. Allen that Missouri assesses cor- porate property GO per cent higher than his own State. of Kansas, and that, in addition, the fees and special taxes collected from railroads and other corporations in Missouri more yenses of all than paid the entire ey the State departments—a condition very unlike that in his own State of Kansas “But there seems to have been no Missourian present who eared to de- fend the fair name of the great Com- monwealth. Instead, there were birds of illfomen who chattered much of ‘looted school fund,’ of ‘jugzled ac- counts, and clapped their wings in approval when their own State was traduced. “Missouri has made wonderful ad- vancement in the last few decades in material development and progress, not, however, because of the policy of the Republican party leaders and Re- publican newspapers, but in spite of their persistent and dishonest cry of ‘Poor Old Missouri.’ Who hasheard a Republican party leader, or a lead- ing Republican newspaper, since the days of Joseph B. McCullagh, speak in praise of Missouri’s magnificent school fuad or of her exceptionally low tax rate, or say anything con- cerning their State which would invite a single immigrant or encourage the investment of a dollar of capital? “Thereare many fair-minded, pub- lic-spirited Republicans in Missouri, but it is a significant fact that the A Sale of 25,000 Cattle.

Tributes are being paid to John P. Altgeld by public men and newspa- pers of all parties. He is universally admitted to have been thoroughly honest and sincere, possessing one of the greatest intellects the world has seen and that his sympathies were always with the weak and his great ability and energy directed against the strong and corrupt. There is no dissent anywhere from this estimate of this man, now that he is dead, How different was the expression be- fore his death, when he was hounded continually as a demagogue, an an- archist and a traitor, and had been so hounded fer at least fifteen years by the entire organized corruption of the country It is not in the least strange that organized corruption should fight the man who fights corruption wherever fonnd., But it is strange that the American people will tolerate such abuse of an honest man, let alone al- low it to influence them, as it un- doubtedly did influence many good citizens to believe ill of this friend of Altgeld, al- though his enemies. were as bitter as humanity. galland as corrupt as Satan, never im Tutts- The attacks against him were simply brutal as sertions, unsupported by anattempt are honesty of any sort, atargument, that he was a dema- vogue, an anarehist and a traitor Che enconiums wow being paid this great tribune of the people by these corrupt hewspa pers are only acknowl edgments that they had lied shame- fully, maticiously,. brutally, or a long term of years about one of the best and greatest men the United States ever produced, Why did they not do Altgeld justice while he was alive, when it would have done him and the nation incaleulable good? The people should learn a lesson from the treatment Altgeld received dur- ing his life and after his death. They should demand that news papers cease to attack publie men unless they have reason based on facts to sup- port the attagk, The mere fact that aniunis a true friend of humanity should not be allowed to operate as anexcuse for leveling at him allsorts of vile innuendo, Bryan and many other true friends of human being attacked in the same manner ig by the organized corruption of the country that attacked Altgeld. And yet, should Bryan die, these miser able papers and politicians who are most bitter in assailing him now would instantly flop and declare him one of God's noblemen. The public should remember these things when they see mean little flings about honest, able friends of humanity like Bryan and Altgeld and comdemn-the ones making them in unmeasured terms, It is much more honorable to treat the living right than it is to defer such treatment until the victina is dead. If the public would only act in accordance with the suggestions given here}they would find the world would speedily grow better, men would be encouraged to be honest and to treat their fellows fairly. Un- der the present methods honest men are more roundly and more persist- ently denounced than are the great est rascals the country holds.—Jop- lin Globe. Seeds For Missouri.

The secretary, after the conference, decided to ship immediate- ly for distribution to the sufferers 2,000 half bushel sacks of fine seed corn, 500 pecks of seed cotton and 20,000 packages of garden seed in time for planting.

I care not of what religion he may be If his babies dread his coming home and his better half swallows her heart y time she asks him fora $5 bill, sa frand of the first water, even though he prays night and morning, untilhe shakes the eternal hills. But ifhis children run to the front gate to meet him and loves own sunshine illumines the tace of his wife when she hears his feotsteps, you can take it for granted that he is pure gold—his home is a haven and the humbug never gets near the throne of God. He may bea rank atheist and a red lag anarchist, a Mormon and mug- wump; he may buy votes, bet onelee- tions, he may deal from the bottom and drink beer until he can’t tella silver dollar from a circular saw, and still be better than the man who is suavity, but sho makes Lome a hell; who vents: on his helpless wife and children the ill nature, he would try to inflict on his fellow man, but Wares not. Lean forgive much ina fellow mortal who would rather make men swear than women weep, would rath- er have the hate of all the world than the contempt of his wife, who had rather call anger to the face of aking than fear to the face of a child.” MISSOURI RIVER iCE GORGE IS DANGEROUS. Waterway Changed to Breok for Hun- dreds of Miles. Sioux City, fa., March 19.—The ice gorge in the Missouri river has been located at Little Bend, sixty miles above Chamberlain, S. D., and is to- night showing no sign of a break. The river has now for forty eight hours been no more than a brook below the gorge. At Yankton, 200.miles below the ferry has stopped running and at Sioux City the fall has been three feet. Estimation in the speed of the river at four miles an hour the water piled up behind the gorge‘ is equivalent to & river 336 miles long. The only gorge approaching this in consequence occurred in 1881 at Vermillion, but did not nearly dry up the river, and yet did untold dam- age. Warm weather, melting heavy snowfalls above the gorge and a heavy rise at Bismarck, N. D., make the situation very serious. SCABTORIA.
