But {t takes a long time to prepare for such great re- forms, on THAT NIEDRINGHAUS DEAL, The following comments on the Missouri senatorial situation are made by the New York Press, astrong Republican paper: “We should welcome Mr. Niedring- haus to the United States Senate from Missouri only on the grounds that anybody would be better than ‘Dick’ Kerens. We would very much rather have Senator Cockrell there alone, although he is a Democrat, than two such Republicans as Niedringhaus and Kerens. The quarrel between this pair as to which will get Mr. Cockrell’s seat will afford much satis- faction to the country if it shall end fn the same situation asin Delaware and leave Missouri with only one volvo in the upper branch of Congress though that voice issues from the throat of the Pharasacial Stone.

Butler boodlers would have plunked the entire sum into their own pockets as they have done with similar contributions. Measured by the “Billy” Clark stand- ard of political morality, the Mis- souri candidate’s act was chaste and conscientious. Measured by the Ad- dick’s decologue, the dicker could have been made without fear in the presence of St. Peter and the record- ing angel.” “We have come to the parting of the ways,” said the President to a Republican Senator recently. ‘We must now decide whether the Re- Republican party shall stand for a square deal for every man, be he great or small, influential or insig- nificant, whether it shall improve its opportunity, curb corporate greed and prove to the people that it etands for their interests, or whether . it shall merit the name given it by the Democrats, “the party of special. privileges and vested interests.” What reply the Senator made to the . President your correspondent does not know. To your correspondent, - @moment later, the Senator said, “that-man is a fool. He talks like a ‘wild-eyed Democrat. _— straight, the papers properly fled and seeing that all proper processes order- ed by the court are promptly issued from his office. This Mr. Patterson has been able to do, with the assist- ance of his able and trustworthy dep- uty, ©. M. Barkley, and is coumend- ed by the Judge, the lawyers ana all who have business with his office. The people of Bates county have appreciated the able and fearless man- ner in which Prosecuting Attorney, A. B. Ludwick, conducted the business ofthis office, prosecuting without fear or favor,all violators of the law, and re-elected him at the last election for a@secondterm. Mr. Ludwick’s record as a public prosecutor will compare favorably with his predecessors, many of whom have gained distinc- tion in the practice of the law. The claim by many that the Judge of Probate should be a, ood lawyer, has been sustained in the conduct of that office by the present incumbent, Judge John A. Silvers. He brought to his assistance, on assuming the offica, a knowledge of the law which has been of inestimable benefit to all who were interested in estates! being probated, as well as admintesrators, guardians and curaters, many of whom were ignoraut of their duties in the premises. The legal interests of all heirs have been safeguarded by Judge Silvers, whose legal knowl-dge, combined with his sturdy character and honest convictions, have made him an ideal Probate Judge. Withal he is a genial gentleman, court- eous and aceommodating and is very popular. The fitness and ability of our pres- ent popular county treasurer, (©. E. Johnson, was recognized by our peo- ple fn the conduct of the office as deputy under his father, W. T. John- 6:n, and they petitioned the govern- or to appoint him to fill out his father’s term. balanced young gentleman of good habits, industrious and painstakiug, and is making an efficient and very popular officer. Our handeome and popular sheriff, Mose B. Morris, is just entering upon his duties, but his well known ability and fitness for the office is recognized by the people throughout the county as demonstrated by his big vote at the general election. Mose bids fair to make one of the moat efficient and popular officers the county ever had. Ed. Borron has taken hold of his office of surveyor and bridge com- misioner like and old hand at the bellows, is thoroughly competent and will perform the duties to his own credit and the county’s profit. —_—_—_ We wish to call especial attention to the announcement of A. L. Ives,as @ candidate for County Superinten- dent of schools of Bates county. Professor Ives was educated at the Troy Collegiate Institute and at the Warrensburg State Normal. Hehas had eighteen years experience as a teacher in the rural and village schools of Missouri and is thorough- ly en rapport with that work.

M Galbreath of Cedar, three of Mr. Niedringhaus’ supporters; “Nobody but these gentlemen themselves will ever know the temptations that were luid in their pathway to do other- wise,” These are very suspicious expres sions, and it is evident that those papers have had a tip that there representatives of the people were tempted in the senatorial contest Now, Messrs, Church, Chambers and Galbraith owe it to themselves to tell the public of what those temptations consisted and by whom cflered, oth | erwise they hocarmn partteanseriminia iu shibluing vue yuny parties, Lo} keeping quiet the inference {s created that the temptations on the Nied- ringhaus side were greater than on the other, es If nothing more, the republican legislators at Jefferson City have succeeded {n rafsing a big row among themselves, and out of the row the Democratic party has pro- fited to the extent of learning that $21,000 contributed to the Republi- can campaign fund did not come out of the pocket of Mr. Niedringhaus, as a personal donation as his sworn statement to the recorder would have us believe, but that it: did come out of the pockets of a couple of gentlemen at the head of the big brewing concers of St. Louis. Nightmare At Jetferson City. Republic Filitorial, j Thirty long years the Republican party of Missouri has waited—for this! Thirty long years it has clam- ored for an opportunity to show what it could do, just one little op- portunity. It would demonstrate to the people of this State which was the real party. It would put our effairs on an exalted plain and give us great statemen to rule over us, and especially it would enact won derful laws. The G. O. P. would make Missouri the envy of the clviliz- ed world, But the pary assembled at Jefferson City has become the laughing-stock of the universe. The thing that has talked so much for thirty years seems to be a mere spoil-crazy rab- ple. The Mysterious Stranger is be- having himeeif with no more gumpt- ion than a jack rabbit. A fine taste of Republicanism we are getting in Missouri. It is like musical comedy. It is like slap-stick and bladder vaudeville It is Punch and Judy. It makes the Reichstag in {ts most cantankerous moods look like thirty cents. The Colorado situation is peaceful in comparison. Really they are a “lovely bunch” at. Jefferson City, and though they contribute nothing to the government of Mis- sour they do certainly add to the gayety of nations. Artists are cartooning ’em and jokers are lampooning ’em; editors lambasting ’em and generally pasting ‘em; everybody sham- ing ’em and blamiug ,em and naming "em, the sillest lot of Reubs and Yaps and sorry misfits and mishaps that ever carried party brawls into legis- lative halls. . Nothing like them ever is quiet and reserved in manner, with | wv aman of marked executive ability. | FOLK’S CIVIL SERVICE STEP. j sonata Senate Allowed to Confirm Dockery Appointees.

The senate took the governor at his word and promptly confirmed, in executive session, the Dockery ap montinats Do Dein of Kansas City, polive commissioner, was in the list.
