We would be glad to impress our brothers of the country press with the very great dangers that lie in wait for the multitude of our young girls that are flocking to our cities, especially St. Louis, and notably at this time, says the St. Louis Chiis- tian Advocate. The country pressis a tremendous power for good, and if they would keep this matter before their readers, constautly warning all as to this open door to ruin, many might be saved who else were lost. The gateway to St. Louis, our great Union depot, is beset by a thousand snares for unwary feet. Any young girl who comes through the gates in- to the midway is at once stopped, and if it is possible the anare will be 80 spread in her path that she can- not escape. No girl should come here unless absolutely certain as to ber course, The many tempting ad- vertisements are often mere baits for ignorance and innocence, And if she comes to this city ready to enter the first carriage whose driver proposes to take her to a good, cheap board- ing house, or to accept the first situation offered where ‘no expe- rience is required,”’ she may as well bid adieu to innocence and hope when she leaves home. And as a matter of course, the young man is a!most equally exposed so far as moral or even physical safety is con- cerned, If the country press_ will only keep these things before their readers, they will serve God and hu- manity. —_—_—_—— The conviction of State Senator W. P. Sullivan by a Cole county jury lnat week for soliciting a bribe, wasa victory for civic righteousness. At- torney General Crow, Judge Tim- mons and the jury can all be com- mended upon their good work and especially General Crow, who made a masterful argument in summing up the evidence, which brushed away any doubts which might bave been in the minde of the jurors. He made it hot for the two principal witnesses for the defense, Smith and Emmet Newton and declared his belief that the defense was founded on perjured testimony. That Sullivan is a Re- publican senator does not make him any better or woree. He belongs to the boodle class, outlawed by the redominant element in all parties. Jemocratic otticials are cleansing the Augean stables in Missouri, will Re publicans officials do the same in the nation. We fear not. Congressman Vandiver, of the southeast, after making a two weeks trip through the state in the interest of his candidacy for governor, sai: “There is a widespread sentiment all over the state in favor of the nomi- pation of Mr. Joseph W. Folk tor governor of the state, and, in my judgment, it is ueeless for any one to run against him. * * * * For my part | don’t want to run against a cyclone.” Congressman Cochran, of St. Jo- seph. another prospective candidate, SLANDERING JUDGE GRAVES Judge Hockaday, of Fulton, is known to be an vay and fearless judge. He has been for years has occu; position. He p at the trial and sentenced one Ed. Butler, a chief among boodlers. The attorneys rep- resenting the state and those repre- |senting the boodlers agreed, as pro- | shouldsitin the Jefferson City boodle cases. Now why was it that Judge Hazell refused to permit this upright man to try these cases, but instead called Judge Gravee, the friend of Col. Wm. Phelps, from southwest Miseou- ri. The first-roason given was that Judge Hockaday was ei in court, but it has since been shown that he was not holding court, but was at the time within twenty miles of Jefferson City.—Boonville Republi- can. The above article bearing the head- lines that Judge Graves {s a friend of Col. Wm. H. Phelps is going the rounds of the Republican press and was printed in Brockmeyer’s St. Louis paper, the State Republican. Judge Graves is an able lawyer, a just judge, and will not ehield Phelps nor any other villain who has helped to bring shame on the Common- wealth. It is an outrage on decency to thus slander Judge Graves.—Clin- ton Tribune. Many Republican speakers and pa- pers consider that the fact of a man owing allegiance to the Democratic party is warrant for heaping upon him abuse, contemptible insinuation and vituperation, no matter how pure his record and incorruptible his life. Weare glad to say that all Re- publican speakers and papers are not that way and thus the kernel is dis- tinguished from the chaff. There is nothing in Judge Graves’ judicial career that would warrant any paper in making the insinuation contained in the ‘above article, and it fs resent- ed by every citizen of this county and jndicial district as maliciously false, Judge Graves knows neither friend or foe while in the discharge of his duties on the bench. He does know the law and every man who comes before his court gets it, administered impartially, whether he likes it or not, Judge Graves would uot swerve one iota from hisconscientious duty, or stretch a law point a fraction of aninch to secure the highest political oftice in the state for himself. The duty of presiding over the trials of these alleged boodlers was not of his seeking, in fact was a great surprise to him, but he was never known to shirka duty, no matter how unpleas- antand be did not shirk this one. Senators Farris and Smith will re ceive their rights under the law, but will not benefit from any frivolous technicalities, and if convicted, the records will be free from any reversible errors. —_———___—_—. BE CONSERVATIVE. Some time ago we advised our brethren of the country press not to get excited over their choice for gov- ernor. ‘That all the candidates should be discussed and all treated |Tiirly and courteously. In the last few weeks there seems to have been a regular Folk wave sweep over the state and a great many politicians are accusing each other of trying to getin the “band wagon.” A num- ber of our strongest country papers are disposed to oppose Mr. Folk more vigorously than occasion de- eso Said ih an interview on Sunday: “There seems to be a growing be. lief in the public mind in all parts of the State that Mr. Polk has won the right to lead a erv e against the coterie of hired | il bosses who are responsib'e for the evil practices recently unearthed in St. Louis and Jefferson Vity. | cannot but think that this isa righteous public senti- ment.” J. A.S.in the Bates County Dem ovrat has the following to say, com- limentary to the editor of Tue imes: “Captain J. D. Allen, editor of Tue Times, has a great many friends here and throughvut the state that are urging bim to become a candidate for Secretary of State. There is no better man living than Mr. Allen for that office, his democ- racy is unquestioned, his ability is not surpassed by any man in the state, he is a man of honorand integ- rity, he would add strength to the ‘ticket and make one of the best Secre- taries the state hasever had, Succes: | men who aspire to that office have to you, Captain, ee peprges made Sunday even- ing to wreck the fast Mo. Pac. mail train between Omaha and St. Louis, at Quindaro, a small etation in Kan sas, five miles from Kansas City. Dynamite had been tied to the track, and the switch on the siding, where the horth bound train waited, was thrown open. The explosion tore a on tear bic tget engine, but: rtunately no one was dangerously injured. The fireman and engineer were slightly burt. Robbery was evidently the motive. What kind of fate shonld be meted ont to euch miscreants? state of Missouri is a laudable ambi- tion in any man, and any Democrat has the right to aspire for the nomi- [asnon and no man or paper has a right to question his motives or his honesty, unless they are prepared to prove their charges. We never heard that a Democrat had to serve a pre- scribed number of years, through dif- ferent political offices, before being eligiblefor governor. We sometimes think it would be no mistake if we chose more of them direct from the people before they have an oppor- tunity to become contaminated in official life. Hence thecry of some that Folkis untried and therefore ineligible is what might be fitly termed“‘tommy rot” and will be so regarded by the people. On the other hand the Folk supporters must understand that the other honorable and worthy gentle- rights and courtesies due them, which they must respect. Let us so con- kuct the campaign for the nomina- tion that no bitterness will be engen- dered and whoever is fortune in cap- turing the prize, will receive the united and harmonious support of all Democrats.

CUTICURA OINTMENT Purest of Emollients and Greatest of Skin Cures, The Most Wonderful Curative of All Time For Torturing, Disfiguring Humours. Cuticura Ointment is beyond question the most successful curative for tortur- ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, ever com- pounded, in proof of which a single anointing with it, preceded by a hot bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed in the severer cases by a dosa of Cuti- care mesorvent Mis, 18 OTLeu sulicient to aftord immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burning and scaly humours, permits rest ‘and sleep, and points toa speedy cure when all other remedies fail. It is especiall 80 in the treatment of infants and chil- dren, cleansing, soothing and healing the most distressing of infantile hu- mMours, and preserving, purifying and bedutifying the skin, scalp and hair, Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the same time, the charm of satisfying the simple wants of the toilet, in caring for the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in- fancy to age, far more effectually, agreeably and economically than the most expensive of toilet emollients, Its “Instant relief for skin-tortured babies,” or ** Sanative, antiseptic cleans- ing,” or “One-night treatment of the hands,” or “Single treatment of the hair,” or Use after athletics,” cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each tn connection with the use of Cuticura Soap, is suilicient evidence of this.
