If conditions were reversed and a democratic gov- ernor of Kentucky was shielding the murderer of a Republican governor of Indiana, the editorial page of the Globe-Democrat would fairly blaze with the fervid heat of ite denun- ciation of such an outrage on law andcommon decency. The wholeat- titude of that paper has been apolo- geticfor the assassins of Governor Goebel and effort to stir up party feeling to protect them. Ifthe Globe- Democrat was as loyal to good gov- ernment in state and nation as itis to ultra radical partisan prejudice, it would accomplish much more good for its country and have more influ- ence for its party. ———— OFFICE-HOLDING DON'T PAY. Osceola Democrat. Attorney-General Crow has found out what most people discover soon- er or later, that office holding does not pay, either In money or peace of mind, says the Osceola Democrat. Spoaking of his probable candidacy for governor Mr. Crow says: “Thave been in politicslongenough to know that I am old enough toput away any such ambition, 1 simply could not afford it. As soon as my ‘torn of office te fintshed tT intent ro practice law either in St. Louis or Webb City, and try to provide for my family. You cannot make my denial too strong, for the governor: ship is furthest from my thoughts.” Ot all the men who have been prominent in Missouri politics in the past quarter of a century, only D. R. Francis can be reckoned really wealthy, and he spent more to sus- tain the dignity of the position of mayor of St Louis and governor of the state than the salary of the of fices, Still there fs a glamour that attracts people to politics even as the moth is attracted to the flame, and in the end the result is the sume. Mr. Crow has choeen wisely. of the men was found dead under a freight car, death being caused by heart failure from over exertion and excitement. —_—_—_—__— General John B. Clark, a noted Missourian, representative of the 11th Mo. district in congress for tive terms, and in 1893 elected clerk of the House, died at hishomein Wasb- ington City Monday afternoon from the effects of a stroke of paralysis which overtook him one year ago. He rose from a private to major-gen- eral in the confederate service. His father, General J. B. Clark,er., was member of the confederate senate, SS Walter Williams, press agent of the World's Fair, has the following excel- lent advise to democrats in the Columbia Herald, of which he is edi- tor: ‘Let us keep our heads level, While we give all possible encouragement to the prosecution and punishment of the guilty, there is no reason for jumping at the conclusion that ev- erybody is bad. The truth is that there is not a cleaner administration of affairs in any state in the union than exists in Missouri.” A “Holdup” in Kansas. Lawrence, Kan., Sept. 6 —Martin Gilmore, a young farmer living two miles northeast of Lawrence, was shot by a highwayman lust night, and died at midnigt from the wounds, Gilmore had crossed the railroad track near his home about 9 o'clock to put his horses in a pasture for the night and was returning across the track when he was accosted by aman with a handkerchief over his faceand a revolver in his hand. Gilmore struck at the assailant with the bridles he was carryiug, knocking the man dowo, and then clinching with him in an effurt to get possession of the revolver, Finally the highway- man broke away and started ona run down the railroad track.

Columbia, Mo., September 5 — Thomas Hickman, a pioneer citizen of Boone county, supposed by his relatives to have been dead forty years, returned this week and to-day filed suit in Columbia for a share of Messages Sandwiched. Frankfort, Ky. Sept. 4—The Western Union Telegram Company was made defendant here to day ina $25,000 damage suit instituted by Villiam Triplett, of Lexington, a tion he can get that the telephone company could accept the rates fixed by the city ordinance and, on the basis of business done in recent years pay annual dividends to its stock holders of 8 per cent. The rates pro- posed are $60 a year for business telephones and $36 a year for house telephones. This would be approx- imately $50 a year average price, according to the city’s figures. Mr. Smith goes into a great amount of detail in his fiudings. He sets out in full the ordinances grant- ing the Enoch franchise which stipu- lates different rates, but says as those rates are not in effect as the rates of any company they cut no figure in the fixing of proper rates for the company now furnishing telephones, Discussing the question of authority he sets out the charter provision which says the mayor and council shall have power to fix rates for tel- ephone, telgraph, gas and electric light companies, and treats that as being the law in the case, “GODSPEED TO YOU TOM JOHNSON,” SAYS BRYAN. A Victory in Ohio Will Stimula‘e all Democrats, SAYS BRILLIANT NEBRASKAN, Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 4.—Mr. Bryan, in the Commoner, commenting on the Ohio Convention, says: “The Ohio Demacratic platform contains inherent evidence of the handiword of Tom L. Johnson, the nominee of the convention for Gov ernor. It not only puts the party in that state squarely on record in fa- vor of the Kansas City platform, but comwmite the party to the taxation reform measured which Mr, Johnson has been urging. The convention nominated Mr. John H. Clarke, of Cleveland, for the United States Senate. Running on the platform adopted he is pledged to the principles and policiesindorsed at the last national convention. “While Mr. Johnson is the guber- natorial candidate he is even more interested in the election of a Demo- eratic legislature than in his own election, because the next legislature willelect a successor to Senator Han- na, and will also have to deal with important questions of taxation, “The MeLean element endeavored both to defeat the nomination of Johnson and to make the platform colorless, Iu the campaign that ele- Coal Barons Face the Law. Topeka, Kan.,Sept.6.—J. 8. Dean, United States district attorney for Kansas, received orders to day from the deputy of justice at Washington to begin proceedings against the members of the alleged coal trust in this state. It {s said similar orders have been given to thedistrict attor- ney in Missouri. District Attorney Dean has resign- ed the work of gathering evidence against the operators to ED. Me- Keever said to-day: “Tam so certain that there is a combine or trust among the coal operators of Kansas that Lum going to probe the matter to the bottom. Iam not ready to talk as to the method uf procedure.” Kansas City, Sept. 5.—No instrue- tions to proceed against the opera tors have been received by Major William Warner, United States dis- trict attorney for western Missouri. Kansas City is headquarters for both operators aud jobbers ofcoal in Kan- sas City, as well as Missouri, Arkan- sas and Olahoma, and a thorough investigation would naturally include the Kansas City operators.

WHEAT RAISING IN MISSOURI |lamation against tho murderers of The Seed Should Not be Sown Early--Cow Peas for Fertilizing. | Columbia, Mo., Sept. 6.—The_nu- merous requests received at the Mis» souri Experiment station and the Missouri College of Agriculture dur- ing the past few days indicate that there is an unusual interest in im" proved methods of wheat growing. The question that is most asked is “What varlety of smooth wheat will produce the largest yields under conditions now existing in Mis- souri? The experiment station has found, as the results of numerous ex- periments, that the Poole variety is the best yielder. This is a smooth red variety which stands up well on land of ordinary fertility. A plot of one acre was planted after cow-peas ylelded this year thirty-five bushels per acre. ‘i “Another subject which farmers frequently ask advice,” said F. B. Mumford, acting director of the-ex- periment station to-day, “‘is fertil. izers for wheat. We have found at this station that one of the cheapest and most efficient- fertilizers “for wheat is a crop of cow-peas. Im- the late King Alexander demanding their punishment.

She is asister of the plaintiff, and {t is al- leged that the property was be- port of the evidence of Triplett wos by mistake of an operator sundwict.- edin with that of a witness whose reputation was attacked, making it appear in newspaper accounts that the attack was on the character of the plaintiff ing that the brother was dead, it having been reported shortly after he left here that he had perished in a Texas sandstorm. A good deal of mystery is attached to the wander- ings of Thomas Hickman, and no reason can be assigned forbis strange silence for forty years. He saysthat he was wandering through every atate in America and through many foreign lands.

New Haven, Conn., Sept. 7.—Will- iam Jennings Bryan has been named as one of the executors of the will of PhiloS. Bennett, who was recently necessary when the will is offered next week.

If the wheat is sown before this time, it is almost certain to be injured more or less by the Hessian fly. It is necessary, however when sowing wheat so late October1, that the ground be thoroughly pre- pared so that the seed may germ- to the acre. To Punish the Murderers.
