On Tuesday last Wall Street saw
the bluest day it has ever known 50
far as the Stock Exchange is con
eerned, and prices were allowed to
fall below the lowest points touched
in any of the panics of the past ten
years. The decline was attributed
to various causes, among which were
the bankruptcy proceedings against
Grinnell & Co, and. the sale of large
amounts Of stocks carried on mar
gins whose holders were unable to
put up any more collaterals. Orders
were sent in from every quarter
directing the sale of stocks, and out
siders appeared panicstriclzen. The
air was busy with rumors OF evil
and disaster, and names were ban
died about as idly as ever at any
time for the last three weeks. Under
pressure to raise money first class
ulVioend paying stocks have been
thrown over board for almost any
thing they will bring, and the result
is something very like another pan-
ic. Now is the time for people who
have money boarded up to make nm
investment in the valuable property
thus sacrificed.

TO know that Ohio has fallen into

The Result.

4 ] S1A NANANAAAeNoO ~ -
and the cheering assurances received
from all parts of the county, we in
dulged the hope of this week an
nouncing the election of Daniel L,
June, as Representative from this
county. But We, in common with
the rest, were doomed to disappoint-
ment; and what is worse, to receive
that disappointment from the hands
of those from whom we might rea-
sonably have expected better things.
Green Creek and York township,
the only real Republican strongholds
in the county, instead of coming to
the rescue as Of old, divided up with
the Prohibitionists, and, by that
means, aided in electing an enemy,
not o1iy to Republicanism, bnt to
what prohibitionists deem most
worthy of consideration. Had these
townships even given US the majori-
ty they did on the State ticket last
fall, Mr.. June would have been
elected, and they could just as easily
have given him enough more to have
made for him respectable majority.
The sweeping run he made in this
city and township, where last fall
the Democracy had 225 majority,
and where now Mr.. June has 203
majority, gain of 42s, exhibits the
power of the man and the result Of
his activity and energy in conduct
ing campaign. He was worthy of
success, and those Republicans who
scratched him and those who went
after the Prohibitionists, when they
come to reflect over the result of
this action, cannot but feel that they
have acted unwisely.
OF the balance Of the county
ticket it is only necessary to say that
several of the candidates made an
excellent run, considering that the
Republican vote was several hun
dred short. The Democratic MAORI
ties range from IS on Representative
to about 700. The majority against
Rawson, for Surveyor, is 3O1, show
ing that he gave Evans a pretty
good run.
The result in the State is very un-
satisfactory to Republicans, Allen
being elected Governor and the
Democracy having majority in the
Legislature. For this result, much
is due to the over confidence of Re
publicans, and a consequent short
vote. Much is also due to the Pro-
hibitionists, who, in order to show
their strength have brought about
calamity to which we think they will
heartily regret, when the result of
their action is apparent, as it must
be very shortly. Under Republican
management the State has now the
most perfect temperance law that
can be devised. So pre-eminently
so, that other States have followed
her lead and adopted the same fea-
lures. Yet the Prohibitionists were
not satisfied, and now have aided in
placing the power in the hands of
the enemies ofthe law and of tenn
perance. The Democratic triumph
they have aided in achieving, will
influence the action of the Constitu
tional Convention and perpetuate |
the evil against which they have |
been contending. 1t places the |
Adair Lazy at the mercy of its enc
mics. and they may expect to see it
swept from the statute book by those
whom they have assisted in placing
in power. They have smitten the
land that gave them recogni-
ion and law, and for the consequen-
ees which may result shonld accept
.he responsibility.

The kind of manhood which in
Kansas is thought worthy of being
sent to Congress was illustrated on
Saturday last by the attempt of ex,
Representative Conway to assassin
ate ex-senator Pomeroy on a public
street in Washington. Whatever
may have been Senator Pomeroy's
faults as public man, there seems
TO have been no reasonable cause for
any assault by Mr.. Conway; least of
all, the cowardly and ruffianly attack
that was made. The Kansas ruffian,
however, never outgrows his early
ideas of the proper way to settle an
opponent. At the first suspicion Of
an injury he hauls out his pistol and
begins shooting. Fortunately, he
was as bad marksman as he was
legislator, and his victim escapes
with slight wound. The worst of
the affair is the picture it will afford
for foreign moralists on the tenden-
cies of Republican government as il

Impaired Capital. .
Condition of h North Missouri
Insurance Compnny-A Series of
Quiet Investigations,

An examination has just lecn completed
into the books and affairs Of the North
Missouri insurance company, at Macon.
As the result of the examination, it has
been discovered that the capital ofthecom-
p!any has been impaired to the amour, of
over sixty per cent. Insurance Commits
sioner Selby hiss given the company sixty
days, counting from I'd of June, to make
up the deficiency.
The state superintendent for Ohio
also recently visited Macon, and made an
investigation into the affairs of the North
Missouri. Upon his return home he
published a notice stating the condition
OF the company, and revoking their Ii
.cense to do business in Ohio.
The state superintendent for Massachu-
setts has just made a similar examination,
but with what result is no, known.
The directors of the company held a
meeting at the Laclede hotel in St.Louis a
few days ago to consider the propriety and
feasibility ofremoving the headquarters of
the company to St.Louis and interesting
some capital from that city. i. is surmised
that this was the action Of the Insurance
commissioner. The directors adjourned
their meeting without coming to any de6n-
lite conclusion which they would allow to
be made public.

stream for ST. Louis, having onboard
Jim Norris, the stewart, John Duffy,

len Stream. The stewart chung to
tho snam titl morning, and Miss Cruik-
shanks was nearly drowned, Bruen
pulling her by the heels out of the
water and placing her OH the bottom
of the skin.. In this trying condition
they were carried about eight miles
with the current, when tho deck hand
took his departure, getting on n drift
heap. Three miles further on the
strikers took hold of some over
hanging bushes aud babe farewell to
his companions, while his legs dangled
in tho water. About two miles be-
low Bruen, the fair and disconsolate
Ellen managed, after great excrtion,
to reach the shore and they
arrived here yesterday morning. The
stewart reached Glasgow, and all the
members of this remarkable eXpcdi-

In this connection it may not be
amiss to mention two remarkable in
stances of premonition of disaster to
the Mary Mcdonald, which we learn
from unquestionable authority.

shipper, previous to the disaster told
Capt. Keith that he felt certain that
something terrible was about to
happen for lie had dreamed that lie

Since the adoption of1hc Constitu.

The basis of representation in 1880
under the Constitution was one rep.

itamts, there being thirteen States
and sixty-tive members of the house;
the second apportionmeut, in 1890,
was one to $4,000; the third in 1900,
was the same, $1,000; the fourth in
1910, was $4,000; the fifth, in 1920, was
10000; the sixth, in 1880, was 1900;
the seventh, in 1910, was $4,000; the
eighth, in 1850, was 64,430; the ninth.
in 1860, was 126,S40; and tile tenth, in
1870, was about 131 400. From sixty
five members and thirteen States we
