"Rich Hiil Review, Every once in awhile we epend a day or two in Butler to see that tuings are getting along all right at the ‘seat of government.” Last week we made one of these periodical vis- its, and called on nearly all ourcoun- ty officials, and they all treated us just like we were somebody. The first one we visited was our great big, and Hig hearted county clerk, and {fthere {sa county clerk in the state has a better or nicer record than John Herrell, we would like to know who eis. Judge Silvers is making one o' our best probate julges, and is jist as friendly as he used to be in Rich Hill when it was just plain John, *urcounty treasurer, welleverybody Sw the county knows Bill Johnson, and that he is one of our best county officials. Ii any county has a better sheriff than Joe Smith, that county bas not been heard from. Joe ia get ting to be “sort of” a farmer, and we think he'll join the Grange when his swrm of office expires. We believ our genial, whole souled circuit clerk is about the best looking man about the court house, and is making a splendidclerk. Who is therein Bates county that don’t know Cap. Lie’, aud a cleverer man never left Ken tueky. About the best thing we can aay about him is, we heard a “ran- tankerous” republican, and one ina position to know, say he fs the best Recorder Bates county ever had. Rruce Ludwick is making one of our « best Prosecuting Attorneys, and one . of the cleverest gentlemen in the «couvty. Bruce is the only one in the - vourt house that will be re-elected, all the others will have served four years when their terms expire. We also met our great big, good-natured, ef- ficient County Surveyor, but did not meet him in his office. If there isa cleverer, better hearted man or more competent official Public Adminis trator, John C. Hayes, we have nev. ex met him. Metall the members of our county court.

Hawes at Hannibal was a great disappoint- ment to his friends and those con- servative Democrats throughout the state, who had expected light thrown upon the political clouds that hang! over our house, by this brilliant young leader of city democracy. In- stead of handling issues in a states- man like manner, he devotes his whole speech to washing dirty St. Louis linen and abuse of one of the principal candidates for the guberna- torial nomination. If the enemies of Mr. Folk wish to beat him before the sensible Democracy of the interior of the state, they must give rome sub stantial reasons why he should not be nominated and cut on the abuse. No one believes that Mr. Folk’s re- fusal to speak for the Butler ticketin St Louis, against the nomination of which he had protested, while prose cuting Ed, Butler for bribery, would have made hint so obnoxious to the Hawes crowd, if he had been right with them in all other respect. Mr. Hawes’ support of Rolla Wells for Mayor, after he bad bolted the Na- tional Democrotic ticket in 1896 and in 1900, is wholly inconsistent with his present attitude toward Mr. Folk onthosegrounds, Instead ofsmooth- ing over rough places, speeches like this by party leaders tends to create and foster bad feeling in the party. As an admirer of Mr. Hawes for the splendid fights he bas made in St Louis, we are sorry be made that epeech. aR nees. When the machine attempts tocontrol conventions and primaries it exceeds ite legitimate functions, shows it has fallen into hands of de-| signing politicians whose only aim is to perpetuate themselves in power. | Then the plain duty of the party isto reorganize the machine. We admit to being believers in ma- chine politics and believe the machine should be composed of the best and strongest men in the party, which mears a strong Organization. But we are unulterably opposed to those, into whose hands this power has been placed, using it for their own ag- wrandiz ment. The rank and file of the party, like the people of a nation, should guard their liber ies with jeal- ous care, against over ambitious rulers. | Orders Two American Warships Rushed to Isthmus of Panama. New York, November 21.—Two of the most powerful battle shipa in the United States navy, the Kearaage and the Massachusetts, received hurry orders from Washington to day to finish coaling at once and start for the Caribbean, within easy reach of both Colon and San Domln. go. Three others are to follow as speedily as they can be made ready, and the cruser Olympla, Dewey's flagship in the battle of Manila, is being fitted out in a hurry in the Norfolk navy yard. The Massachu- setts to-day wasin dry dock, She will be let ou tto-morrow afternoon, probably, Extra marines have been added to the crews of both vessels, Rear Admiral A S. Barker, in com- mand of the navy yard, said to-day that the Kearsage and Massachu- setts would leave the yard to-mor- row afternoon or Monday for Tomk- kineville, where they would take ammunition and sail for southern waters, within a day anda half run ‘of-the-isthmus;—— i In my opinion, there is no cause for the sudden dispatch of any battle ship to the isthmus of Panama,” he said. “This government seems to be pretty well represented there. The flagship will be the Kearsage, and I, of course, will be in command, The departure of the Kearsage and Massachusetts willbe followed soon as possible by the lilinois, Alabama and Texas, which are undergoing repairs at the yard now.” With the addition of these battle ships the United States will havea formidable fleet in the neighborhood of the isthmus of Panama. On the Pacific side are the new monitor Wy- oming, the cruiser Boston and the protected cruiser Marblehead. On the Atlantic side, Rear Admiral Coghlan is at Colon, on the Presi dent’s yacht, Mayflower. The battle ship Maine, the cruicers Dixie. and Atlanta and the gunboat Nashville are also there. TAMMANY NIGHTMARE. The people of greater New York elected Seth Low mayor and for four years he oecupied that position. He certainly had ample opportunity in that tlme to put his reform pledges into execution, The voters of that city repudiated his admlotstration by defeating him for re-election by over sixty thousand majority a change of over one hundred thousand votes; and yet the editor of the Re- publican-Press brands that great ma- jority of voters ofthat great metrop- olis as corruptionists and in league with vice. At one time a reform movement eawept over oursmall town uf Butler and our people voted local option, After a two years trial, dur- ing which joints and dives dourished as never before or since, our people voted by an overwhelming majority for open saloons and high license, Mr. Funk, under the same process of reasoning, Would class our people as corruptionists, and in league with vice. Local self government, as far as practical, is one of the cardinal principles of our government. The people of each community or munici- pality ought to beand are in a better position. to know what. is best for them; and it is rank folly and a spe- cies of idiocy, for a little one horse paper away out here attempting to condemn the people of New York for their action in electing a mayor. “The presumption of some folks is surprisin’ even after you think you know them. Tammany hadcontrol led New York for a long time prior to the election of Low, and the people vindicate its rule by returning it tc power. But Tammany is a night mare to republicans, and it is not surprising that the Republican-Press editor covers up his head in horror when he hears the name. BLAIR A MENTAL WRECK? The St. Louis Ex-Judge’s Mind Nearly Gone, Says Dr. Homan. St. Louis, Nov. 22.—Dr Homan, who for weeks has been al most constantly by the bedside of James L. Blair, ex-general counsel for the Exposition, says that his patient’s mind appears to be affected beyond repair. Another prominent physician, who has been called into consultation ,by the Blair family, agrees that Mr. Blair probably never will again have the full use of his mental faculties. Just what is the nature of his ai’- ment the physicians do not say, but they declare that the fall from the porch of his country home, when his nead struck the stone steps, coupled with the tremendous nervous strain he underwent for months previous to the accident and the habitual use of drugs to induce sleep and to sup- ply strength for the daily duties of lite, have resulted in & peculiar ment- al condition the like of which they intimate hae not come within their observation before.

A great deal is said in derision and condemnation of “machine” politics, until in the minds of many a “ma- chine” politician is little less than a criminal. It is a favorite pasttime of the Republican press to heap un- stinted abuse upon the “state ma- chine,” meaning, of course, the Dem- ocratic administration. A party to be successful must be well organized and trust in its or- ganization. It must have a head to guide and direct, advisory boards, ete. The party has to be re-organiz- ed in some localities, strengthened in others, literature has to be sent out, speakers provided and innumerable details attending a campaign are to be met. Men interested in the party’s welfare, have to devote their time and attention to this, laboring day and night, scheming, plotting and planning to meet the attacks of the enemy. These men then arethe“ma- chine.” Such a machine is absolute. ly indispensable in all parties. Usu- ally a fight on the machine within the party means that some ambitious politicians want to break into the charmed circle.

Thurs ton, a railroad man of Chicago, to whom os was sent to prison three years ago, after having been convicted of man slaughter. The wedding was one of the condi- tions of the pardon granted by Gor- ernor Cummins, after being urged for three years by young Thurston to release bis sweetheart. Miss Crawford is a comely young woman of 23. Her home is in Clin- ton county and it was while sitting iu the parlor at her home four years ago chatting with the man who has just made her his wife, that she com- mitted the crime for which she was sent to prison. A drunken man knocked at the door and demanded admission. An altercation ensued and Miss Craw- ford tired a pistol, killing the man ivstantly. The sentiment of the community was always with ber. “When the butter won't come put a penny in the churg,” is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul- sion. It is like the penny in the Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be- cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott’s Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat- ment. ° We will send you the penny, Le, a The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths, ‘There ts a disease prevailing t/ thee ‘The question of hostess for the Mis |souri state building has been consid- ‘ered informally by the members of the Missouri World’s Fair Commis met Ee ar) tive, Many sadte sion.
