We are of the opinion that the edi- torial in the Warrensburg Herald criticizing the supreme court for its decision in the Oglesby case was un- necessarily harsh, and that its charges of corruption was not war- ranted by the facts in the case. Un- questionably the court laid itself lia- ble to criticism in the early stages of the proceedings in that noted case, when after affirming the decision of the lower court, it three times over- ruled motions for rehearing and then opened up the case and remanded it for new trial a proceeding thereto- fore unheard of in a supreme court in this state, But the personnel of the court has changed, and the last ap- peal was tried on its merits and de- cided on the judgment of the court as now constituted. The singling out of Judge Fox, the latest addition to the court, one of the most con- scientious men and ablest jurists in the stute, was very reprehensible. But we believe the court made a serious mistake in citing theseeditors to appear before them on contempt proceedings. The right of freespeech is regarded as very sacred by our people, and the right of trial by an unprejudiced jury of our peers, an inalienable right of our citizenship. No body or tribunal, however organ- ed, shoul be above criticism, and to put the power in the hands of any) man orset of men totry, convict and punish their own critics ortraducers, if vou please, would be giving them powers of absolute monarchs, the} treory of whieh is repulsive to every free born American, and against the theory upon which our government is founded. If the members of the su- preme court have been slandered, they have recourse to the same reme- dy offered every citizen, high or low, in this broad land, the right to sue for slauder in the courts. But the right to be judge, jury and high executioner against our enemies is investing too much power in any tri- bunal. The National Convention of Ruil- road Commissioners, at Portland, Me., last week, elected Hon. W. E. MeCully, of the Missouri Board, 1st Vice-President. This is the first time in the history of that association that an officer has been elected from west of the Mississippi river, and is a just recognition of Mr. McCully’s ability and efficiency in office. The honoris the more appreciated, be- cause it comes unsolicited by Mr. Me- Cully or his friends. A son was born toex-president and Mrs Grover Cleveland at their sum- mer home, Buzzard Bay, Saturday. This {s the fifth child born to Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, two boys and three girls. Esther, the second child, is the only child of a president to be born in the white house. OF the boodlers indicted in St. Louis, thirteen are Republicans, sev- en are Democrats and the political opinions of the two others have not been disclosed, The figures are im portant to those voters who suppose that only men in their own party can ‘be trusted in public affuirs.—Post- Dispatch. A dispatch from London announe- as the sudden death of James Abbott McNeil Whistler, the famous Ameri- can artist. He died Saturday at his residence Cheyne Walk, Cheleea. He was 69 years old.

A large crowd was present. JudgeGantt and Mayor Reed, both being announced candidates for gov- ernor, and, this being their first meet- ing in public since Judge Gantt shied his castor into the gubernatorial ring, a sharp thrust followed from Judge Gantt and a sharper and stronger retort followed from Mayor Reed. Judge Gantt said: “I realize I am up here in Jim Reed’s territory, but there can be no quarrel between us. I would not think of speaking a dis loyal word about him, the truth is I want to give Reed a great big office when | am elected governor next year.” Reed, who spoke last, was some what disconcerted by Judge Gantt’s closing remarks. It was an unex- pected thrust. Keed replied: “I want first to thank Judge Gantt for tendering me some big office,’ but lam obliged to remind him of what he as a jurist should know, that that promise ‘comes within the cor- rupt practice act of this state.” It was both irony and defiance, Continuing Reed said: “When a man has seven and one- half years of his term of office to complete he ought to stay right where he is performing that duty honestly, lam glad he is not going to resign until he is elected governor, because that insures his occupancy of his position on the supreme bench until the grave closes over him, Judge Gantt is trying to make a blunder people will not permit.” FOUND A NEW COAL DEPOSIT, | wccssae A Rich Vein in Bates County Opened Up by a Kansas City Maa. Kansas City Times One of the largest deposits of coal ever found in Missouri has just been developed by J. H. Durkee at New Home, Bates county, seventy miles from Kansas City. At adepth of 241 feet a solid vein of the best grade of bituminous coal was found. The vein is 5 feet 9 inches thick, witha good slate roof. [t is said to be ex ceptionally free from sulphur and will producea large per cent oflumpcoal “The mine is located near three of Kansas City’s railroads,” said Mr. Durkee yesterday. ‘The coal by test has been shown to be of superior quality for steam purposes and will undoubtedly be a_large factor in the supply of Kansas City industries. A shaft 16 by 7 feet has been sunk toa depth of twenty-five feet below the coal. The coal is free from gas and has little water. Tuking all the con- ditions into consideration, quality, quantity and transportation, it lookslike @ big find. A conservative estimate of the extent of the deposit is about 800 acres. The mine is owned by the New Home Coal Com- pany, the stock of which is owned by W. B. Williams of Rich Hill, E. E. Matchette and myself. Machinery is now being put in to hoist 2,500 tons per day. The company will com- mence loading coal for shipment to- day. Bryan at Clinton. Clinton, Mo., July 20.—The Chau- tauqua was opened here to-day, by William J. Bryan. Senator.

Washington, July 19.—The Na tional Women's Christian Temper- ance unjonis leading a campaign to unseat Reed Smoot, Mormon senator from Utha. The committee appoint ed to look after this work is doing its work well as is evinced by thefact that Senator Burrows of Michigan, chairman of the senate committee on privileges and elections, says that hundreds of letters arrive daily from all parts of the country asking that means be taken to outseat Senator Smoot. Every women’s club in the country will be asked to contribute $1 to a fund which shall be used to further the work. Itis estimated that at least $50,000 will be raised. Helen Gould and other wealthy women are interested, and will prob- ably make generous donations. The plan in brief isto arouse publiceenti- ment that many letters will be sent tosenators asking them to expel Smoot. Importast Murder Clew. Sedalia, Mo., July 21—The gun with which, it is believed, Ernest Stephens was assassinated at Pleas ant Green, Cooper county, some two months ago, was found yesterday. It was fished from a well on the place of George Childs, a negro who is out on bond, charged with having killed Stephens. Uibcal officers did the work. : icans to risk their lives in its defense and preservation. He spoke of our industrial progress, our scientific Lievetments as being the greatest of this or any other age, and lastly, but not leastly, he spoke of the “boodlers” and said there had been discovered corruption in our big cities which had been running riottor years, and that it had been discover- ed in our state legislatures and more recently in our national affairs at Washington: He said that he believ- ed that all dishonest officials in whatever station should and would be promptly and summarily dealt with. He said, “lenve the boodlers in Missouri to us and we will see that the guilty and vicious ones are sent to the pen and I will see that they stay there as longas Iam governor.” The governor spoke for an hour, and such attention as his audience gave him was never before witnessed atapicnic. He made one of the grandest non-political speeches ever heard in DeSoto. All that could get within hearing did so, and there was no stirringeven at the Fourth of duly celevration except by those who could not get within range of his powerful voice.” Cyclone at Streator, I1l.
