Governor Dockery’s message to the 2nd General Assembly should be >ad with pride by every true Missou- rian. It tells in plain and simple language, without any effort at em- Lellishment, the wonderful growth nd present high standing of this wreatcommonwealth, He points out that Missouri to-day is first among al! the states in agricultural pre- minence, eighth in wealth and fifth 1 population. The state is prac- ically out of debt, with a tax rate wer than any other state in the mion aud the eredit of the state is umeurpassed, The different elymosi- nary institutions are well managed od doing splendid work in the good sae. Inreference to our financial yodition the Governor says: “Shecomplete payment of ourout- standing bonds, together with the redaction of state interest taxation, will coustitute a chapter in our fiscal ire most pleasing to every tax- yer, Such a record speaks for it- It needs no encomium. It esthe wisdom and theeconomy » have distinguished the man- yrement of our financial affairs dur- jug the last thirty years, and isa high tribute to the honesty and busi- nessa ragacity of Missouri's officials, Doth living and dead.” Weeepecially commend the reading ithe Governor's message to those Republican organs and speakers who have so persistently defamed the fair pame of the state, becnuse it was un- TO BAR MISSOURI NEGROES. | | with Missouri Republicans and espe- | | cially so with the three papers named.

The good people of Arcola, Ils., Leaded ly the Mayor, a preacher and ~ policeman, held up a train on the Hilinois Central railroad Saturday znd took forcible possession of six ot seven car loads of coal and appor- tioned it out to the citizens of the sewn. The wagons and drays of the town being insufficient farmers teams were pressed into service to help un- load the coal. In view of the urgent need of fuel to prevent suffering and in some cases to preserve life itself, it would seem that such action was justifiable, but it is a very grave question just how imminent the peril should be to permit a community to become law-breakers and free boot- rs. Inalllarge cities there are dis- triete in which the very poor dwell, sud they suffer for food, fuel and clotking during the rigors of a win- ter storm. Would those people be “hetd equally blameless under the law, 3* they should rise in their might and | take forcible possession of property te celieve their distress? The differ- “me is this case the people stand veady to pay for the goods taken af- tee the overt act. The community to whick this coal was assigned might have been and possibly were nas sad a plight as the people of Arcola In this particular case the people were probably justifiable. But “he provocation should be great and <i eager should be real in all cases of «.. kind before property is taken for le possession of, 5-7 \TORIAL NOMIMEES. As we predicted, last week, would happen, the Democratic legislative caucus was held last Thursday night and Ex-Governor W. J. Stone was nominated for the United States Senate. The fight upon him collaps- ed completely, Mr. Wallace withdrew from the race and Governor Stone wasnominated by acclamation. The proceedings were harmonious, throughout, and the effort of the Re- ‘publican and mugwump papers to induce Democratic members to stay out of the caucus proved abortive. The Globe-Democrat, Post-Dis- patch and Kansas City Star were ve- Aement in their denunciation of an eariy caucus, declaring that it would ibe taking “snap judgment” on all «ater candidates, would be unprece- <Ssnted and revoluti@hary.

Frankfort, Ky., Jan, 12 —Henry Youtsey to-day continued his testi- mony before the Grand Jury, and} there is more excitement over the case than on Saturday. It is stated that he ismaking a full confession, not only of his part, bu is telling all he knows about what others did in the alleged conspiracy three years ago to assassinate Gov. Goebel. It is currently reported that the new evidence had not only been se- cured on those already indicted, but also such as to involve others not heretofore mentioned in the case. Turned Switch to Get Reward. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 10.—Wm. Barnett, the 19-year-old son of a section foreman, has confessed to vurning the switch near Independ- ence, the night of January 1, and wrecking the Little Rock and Wichita express on the Missouri Pacific rail- road for the purpose of securing a reward from the railroad company forsaving the train. When thetrain came to a standstill, young Barnett informed the crew and passengers that he had seen two men break the lock on the switch, evidently withthe purpose of holding up the train, and that he had scared them after an ex- change of shots. Barnett displayed ahole in his coat, which, he asserted, was made by a bullet by the would- be roadmen. ~~ Failed to Recover Money.

No motive for the rash act could possibly be ascribed except that of temporary insanity.
