Third Party in BIfssourI-~The- TT.
s. SplafnrSI&n

$. SenatOFSAp.
/ It would seem that the effort to
form third party in Missouri, as
put forth in the county of st. Louis,
is altogether abortive. Grosveno
who figured so extensively in the
Greeley convention at Cincinnati,
has been trying hard to at least give
strength enough to the newborn. po-
litical child, that he might lead it
forth for a public christening. but it
inclines to an early death. We hope
this strangulation of the Grosvenor-
Pulitzer nursing does not in any
wise mean that Missouri is blind to
the fact that she could do no wiser
thing than send Carl Schurz back to
the National Senate. It is intimated
that this "new movement was in
the interest of Senator Schurz and
the Germans Of St. Louis have given
it the only significance that attaches
to it. We express a very prevalent
sentiment, not confined to any Sec
ton, when we say that the right
thing for the Democracy of Missouri
to do is to assert its confidence in
the integrity and capability for broad
National service which the Hon.
Carl Schnrz has exhibited through
six years of conspicuously earnest
ahd useful Senatorial labor.
Mr.. Schurz has been called a
dreamer. but while in one of those
"reveries'' he happened upon theso
luton Of the financial problem, and
the plan at last adopted was more
like that proposed in a speech by
Mr.. Schurz than any other that had
been advocated. Perhaps he keeps
those keen, gray eyes open while he
dreams. He has, too, been called |
unstable and said to be without de-
fined purpose but he folded his |
arms and despised the little conduct
which subordinated hinl on Senator
ial Committees, after he had taken /
the liberal chute in the Republican
waters, and he went to work with |
undated zeal, making his sound,
practical views felt and Oft-times
having them adopted. the Republi-
can and majority prejudice against
him to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Il were a pity to let the puny and
iIl-advised effort Of few who are
themselves starving for public pre-
ferment become to be recognized as
the strength of so great man as
Mr.. Schurz. .... .
The Senate is a National body,
and while it is much to the advan-
ages of the State to have her pecul-
ar interests represented in the
Senate, it should not be overlooked
hat he interests Of the nation are
hose Of a State, and they are in
many respects Of paramount cOnsid-
eration. Moreover, we see no
charge against the distinguished
Senator in questions that he has
allied to represent Missouri, But
he Republican organs have no use
or him because he is not a party
man, The Democrats will not af-
.liate with him because he is not 81
,arty man; and so we are about to
ose the services of one Of the first
tatesmen Of America.-Rcpublica1

Horrible Suicide.
Nashville Banner, 5Ith.

/
Away out in the southern part O
the city, where Vine Street appear:
to have jumped over several square,
and, starting out again. comes to al
abrupt termination, there are three
rude cabins. apparensly thrown uI
in haste, and without regard to any
given rules of architectures. They
are, in fact, mere shanties, excuses
for houses, having holes cut for win
dows, with poorly constructed chin
neys, roofs of warped shingles,
which might, with q little reaching
he be touched with the hand. The
floors rattle as one walks over them
and everything wears pincked APP
pearance, even down to the frag-
mentary pieces of furniture to be
seen here and there.
1t was in cabin No. 220 in this
row. that Wiley Ledbetter, colored,
and his wife had lived, for a month,
to 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
when the husband, firing OF life.
launched himself into eternity by
his own hands. The instrument of
death was a razor. Since Tuesday
he had been suffering from a disease
of the stomach. He had been at
varience with his wife for some time
on account of her association with
woman TO whom he had often ex-
pressed objections. Yesterday
morning they had talk regarding
the matter. In this conversation
he urged the abandonment by her of
her association, when she again
promised to acceed to his wishes.
Whether he doubted the sincerely
of her promise or not is not known.
They had no words, it is said, up to
the time of the suicide At the
hour already named he went to an
clubhouse in the rear of the cabin
and committed the deed.
A few minutes after Robert Beard,
colored, who lives next door, heard
several gurgling, gasping sounds,
and being attracted to the spot by
them, opened the door and discover
ell the body of the suicide upon its
all fours, with his head resting in
his hat, which was filed with blood, !
upon the floor, while his right hand !
grasped bloody razor. Beard was
startled at the horrible sight that
net his gaze, and hastily sent word |
o Justice Cassetty, who went out
md held an inquest over the body. |
Jp to the arrival of Justice Cassetty |
he body had not been moved.
" lille it was being removed from
he clubhouse, the head swung back |
Is if about to take leave of the body.
t was not until then that the broad |
rash, measuring from car to ear, and |
down to the neck bone,
With every single vein and artery !
nut. was seen with mingled cries of
: Oh, horrible sight!' "Oh, dread
al deed !" "My God p from the
.rowd Of colored people wLo were
Lttraeted to the spot.

Death of the Original "ArIxan-

Yesterday afternoon our city was
shocked over the news of the death
of Col. Sandy Faulkner, who died at
his residence, GU the corner of Com

1t is well known throughout the
Southwest that Col. Faulkner was
the original personator of the I" Ar
kansas Traveller" and it was his
pride to be known as such. The
story, it is said was founded on
little incident which occurred in the
campaign eff 1910, when he made
tour Of the State in company with
the Hon. A. II. Sewer, Gov. Fulton.
Chester Ashley and Gov. Yell.
One day, in the Boston mountains,
the party approached the a squat
ter's for information Of the route,
and Col. e Sunday was made spokes-
man of the company, and it was up
on his witty responses the tune and
story were founded. On tee return

given in the famous "bar room
which used to stand near the An
tkony House, and Col. "Sandy''
was called on to play the tune and
tell the story. Afterward it grew in
popularity. When he subsequently
went to New Orleans, the fame of
the &c Arkansas Traveller had gone
before him, and at banvuct amid
glasses and brilliant toasts, |
he was hanped a violin by the then
Governor of Louisiana, and request

Arkansas tune. At the old ST.

REFORM.

the sentiment of the people. Fund.

monopolies, owning large amounts
Of property exempt from taxation,
and a multiplicity of unnecessary Of
ices, by which men live at the ex-

things Of the past and present, but
not of the present, if we read Alright

There is a speedy remedy for all

Wholesale Starvation.
A HORRIBLE ACCOUNT OF SUFFERING
FROM A MISSIONARY.


New YORK, August 13.-Rev. DIR.
Clark, OF. the American Board of
Foreign Missions, has received let
ter from Rev. j. O. Borrows, Of
Ceasaria, dated July 10, in which he
gives some thrilling details OF the
terrible famine now prevailing in
that region. hr. Barrows writes !:
While at Yodegat, which is eighty
or ninety miles north ofus, / noticed
the ravage of famine, which is very
severe, and also beyond and towards
Angoria. Many villages are entire.
ly deserted. In some one or two,
three or four families, or parts of
families remain. In the District of
Sungarte. which is beyond Yodegat
and in which city there is Protes-
tant church, as many as
FIVE THOUSAND PERSONS HAVE DIED
OF STARVATION.
But the horrors of this famine are
Undesirable. Many persons have
subsisted on grass for weeks, and
then died. Beggars have fiocked to
the cities, and there are many of
them who have died, because they
could not get morsel of bread. Old
men, mothers with babies at their
breasts, young men, children, young
boys and girls. half naked. begging
and crying. Dead bodies have lain
in the streets one, two and even
three or four days before burial, and
DOGS HAVE FEAsTED ON THEM.
"Many of our Protestant com
munities and families have suffered
greatly at Sungarte. Some Of the
brethren have sold house, shop,
household furniture. everything, and
now must beg or starYe, or perhaps,
both. In one village there was one
Protestant family. The father,
mother and all the children but two
have died of starvation. In the
village of Ingierlie there was
pleasant little Protestant community
several of whom were members of
the church, with the preacher resid-
ing with them, but they were poor.
This preacher went to Yodegat aud
purchased flour, becoming RESPONSE
BILE for the pay himself, and so kept
alive six families. Now unless the
preacher can be paid his creditors
will take everything from him.
