J Dickinson, managing} reason why he should have sought editor of the Washington Times, is| self-destruction. He was a young| responsible for the unearthing the postoffice scandals in Washington. Major Dickinson saw the opportunity | man of the Republican congressional | and embraced it of doing business for his paper and good to the people of the United States by exposing the giaring frauds in the public depart- ments, The hit birds duttered, and immediately hunted up the owners of The Times, the Muuseys, of New York, of the Munsey magazine fame, and they called Dickinson down, but too late to save the boodlers, as the press all over the country had taken it up and were demanding an inves- tization. Dickinson lost his job, but his services are in demand by other papers that want the truth, and The Times will be the sufferer in the long run for its cowardly back- down. Major Dickingon began bis journal- istic career in the office of Tue Times as local editor. He was a classmate ateollege of the editor and came west at his solicitation. He held posi- tions on the Republic, Globe-Demo- crat and Post-Dispatch in St. Louis. He was commissioned by Governor Stephens a major of a Missouri Regi- ment during the Spanish war, When mustered out he took up his journal- istic work in Washington, where he He is a versatile The corouer’s jary failed to remove the mystery surrounding the death of Joseph Pidcock, a Republican pol- itician of Greenfield, whose dead body was found in his home hanging in a stairway last week. The evidence, whoily circumstantial, indicated that he had been murdered, but public sentiment there appears to bedivided | between the murder and suicide the- ory. No cause is known why anyone should have desired his death and, on the other hand, there is no known man of good reputation, nnd influ- ential in his party. He was chair- committee of the 6th district and visited this county during the last campaign. Unquestionably it is true that the party in power is responsible for the public acts of its officials, and such party should be held to the strict ac counting. If the officials are honest and competent, then the party res ponsible for their election is entitled to the commendation of the pnblic. If the officials are dishonest and in- competent, the party in power must serve the public by being the firat to discover and punish dishonesty or displace incompetanta, and it is still entitled to the public confidence. It is that party which winks at corrup- tion and covers up official shortcom- ings to avoid party scandals which deserve public condemnation.

Clinton Democrat Baby Costs Too Much When the price paid is the mother’s health and happiness. The father doesn’t realize as he romps with the child what years of wifely suffering must be set against the baby’s laughter. Chronic invalidism is a high price to y for the painful joy of maternity, yet It is at a cost that many a woman becomes a mother. Such a price is too much because nature asks, By the use of Favorite Pre- scription ma- ternity is made ical painless, ai quick convales- ence is assured in almost ev- ery case.

Yokohama, June 20.—The Japan- ese minister at Pekin filed a formal demand on the Chinese foreign office t yesterday for tna openingof Mukden and Tai Tung Chou to foreign trade. The Chinese officials replied that cir- cumstances were not favorable to the opening of the cities mentioned. The Americans and British are sup- porting Japan’s demands. Minister Conger is also demanding the open- ing of Harbin, Manchura. ernment is impending and that a large majority of our voters believe it desirable. “It seems to me that the Republi- cans have been weighed in the bal ance aud found wanting. It would take columns for even a catalogue of their shortcomings, but they have glaringly disappointed the country in one or two important matters that I will specify. “In the first place, theugh they made earnest promises of giving cur- rency reform, they have done little or nothing in that direction, Noth- ing was done to provide against financial stringency or monetary panic. The authorization of small banks was good as farasit went, but is only a single step. “Again, the very high and even prohibitory tariffs of the Dingley bill were upheld because it was said they would be the lever by which reciproc- ity treaties could be secured. The American people should have by this time grown weary of this humbug. They-have,as-consumers, been pay- ing high taxes on numerous articles; the prohibitory schedules are still in force and reciprocity is still an irides- cent dream. “More than this, with the ultra protective tariff established by the dominant party has come an era of monied combinations and grinding trusts, whose oppressions are known throughout the nation. -“Here are issues on with the Demo- cratic party can make a strong, and, I believe, a winning fight.

McKibben TANK OF MURIATIC ACID CARRIED BY ILL-FATED TRAIN ADDS TO WRECK HORROR. Jefferson City, June 22.—A disas- trous wreck occurred on the Mis- souri Pacific railroad at 9 o'clock last night at Coles Junction, where the river route branches off of the main line. An eastbound stock train crashed in an extra freight westbound. The engine of the eastbound train, with twelve cars, left the track and rolled down the embankment. Four men lost their lives. An over- turned tank of muriatic acid added to the horror, Two cars containing cattle, horses and mules were com- pletely demolished, killing nearly all the animals, The wreck was caused by a misun- derstanding of orders, The bodies were almost hidden from view in vapor arising from the muri- atic acid, with which they were del- uged. This acid is one of the most powerful known. It is of such strength that unless copiously dilut- ed with water the smallest quantity of it will eat-anything with which it comes in contact A few drops ona piece of cloth will eat as far as the moisture spreads, and on the fleh will burn like nitric acid. The prob able effect of iton the body can be better imagined than described. Russel Sage Caught Napping. New York, June 19.—Because Rus- sell Sage made a mistake in the date on which “swearing off” and correc: tions could be made in taxes, he will enforced to meet personal taxes this year on an assessment of 2 million dollars, it was presumed when Mr. Sage did not appear at the tax office for the purpose of “swearing off” his assessment of two million dollars before March 1 that he was willing to allow the increase to go unpro- tested. In past years he has been assessed for only $600,000. Tbe multi-millionaire has sent a letter of protest to the tax commis- sioners explaining the matter but the books are finally closed.
