William Joel Stone will be elected United States Senator to succeed George Graham Vest without a doubt, Whether the Democratic cau- cus is held this week or next the re sult will be the same. That there has been a bitrer, remorseless, unre lenting opposition to him goes with- out saying to every reader of the} metropolitan press, That there has| been anything like a systematic, well organized and coucentrated effort to encompass his defeat is not. true. While he has been opposed by what has heretofore been suppased to be | the dominant faetors in political! conteats in this state, the opposition Was epparently without a head, was uncertain, wavering and at the end collapsed completely, No candidate could be found willing to go before the people, who ure and should be the arbiters in such @ case, and con- test with Stone for the Senatorial toga. We have always believed that had Judge DeArmond been free to} gone upon the hustings he} would have been successful, but as be | pointed out in his letter of declina- tion, he had a duty to perform to the people of the 6th district, and to his gredit he would not desert his have | post in Washington, i The which the Post-Dis- patch, Kansas City Star and Globe- Democrat have been heaping upon | Governor Stone in tue past few| is undignified, unwarranted abuse Weeks their pretensions, The effort to drag Governor Dock- ery into the contest as a dark horse atthe last moment. failed, as every- one who knows the Governor felt cer- tain that it would. Governor Dock- ery’s whole publie record shows that he is willing to trust the people and would never consent to be a stalking horse to balk their wishes expressed so emphatically through their coun- “ty conventions and primaries, i fort being made to stampede the legislature to violate the will of the people is another strong argu- ment why the United States Senator ple sympathize deeply with Our p Governor Dockery in the death of his good wife, an account of which can of this A tine is given for all to die, be found in another column issue. and death is not pleasant tocon em- plate at any time, but when the pres- lent is filled with all the heart can |desire and the future replete with more terrible only a faithful and loving wife, but a comrade and helpmate to whom the Governor turned in his troubles sure of that responsive sympathy for which the heart yearns at such times. He depended greatly upon that true heart and was never disappointed. This greatest sorrow of his life he willhave to bear alone, as noearthly power can help him. The hearts of the people of this great common- wealth bleed for him. The republicans have the president, the sena e and the house, in short, they have full sway, and have no exeuse for not doing something to relieve the people of extortions of the trusts and combinations. Resolutions endoreing the Hay- Bond treaty and advocating general tariff revision) were passed by the members of the Boston Chamber of Commerce at a special meeting Mon- j day. Senator Vest's Final Effort. Washington, Jan, 5.—Senator Vest entered vigorously into the deoatein the Senate to-day, Senator Culber- son had proposed a resolution to abolish the duty on anthracite coal, Senator Platt, of Connecticut, said {there was no duty on anthracite coal, Senator Vest arose to declare that the board of appraisers of the city of New York, and the govern- ment had admitted it, that it was a qnattier-efrecord ind that to” at= tempt, to, debate the question was juothing more than an effort to deny an existing fact. GONGRESS IS BACK AT WORK, Washington, Jan, 5.—At noon to- day the House reconvened after a holiday recess of fifteen days. Many members had not yet returned from theirhomes, and there were not more than one hundred members upon the floor, when Speaker Hendersoncalled the House to order, Dewitt Flana- gan, of New Jersey, elected tosucceed the late Representative Salmon, ap- peared at the bar and took theoatt. Mr. Hull, of lowa, chairman of the should be elected by a direct vote of the people.

A concurrent resolu- combinations in restraint substantial majority. Stone and Wallace are both on the ground. The Republican members are hav- ing their own troubles. A positive opposition to Kerns is making an ef- fort to prevent his nomination by tle minority party for Senator, and it looks at this writing like they might beat him. They are playing the Roosevelt forees against him, and Kerens may have to hereafter devote more time to his railroad interests and less to dishing out federal pie to | hiv henchmen, This promises to bea very interesting session of the legis-— lature, and we will keep our readers post on its most important acts. Senor Sagasta, ex-premier of Spain, died at Madrid, at 11 o'clock Mon- day night. Death was due to bron- chitis and gastric _trouble.—Htwas 75 years old. He was appointed to the head of the cabinet: in 1897 und served during the Spanish-American war, resigning a month ago, Asiatic cholera has again made its appearance in Mazatlan, Mexico, and the city is being depopulated in con sequence. The dispatches say the poople are fleeing from the city at +! rate of 300 a day and some five thousand have already gone. The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths.

Corn will net the farmer at his nearest market town about 20 cents a bushel on throughout the entire list. Cole Younger Longs For Home. St. Paul, Minn, Jan.
