II WELBURN CASE.

The Welburn murder trial, with
which our citizens are familiar, came
off on last Saturday in Sedalla.
Messrs. Walker, Young and Phillips
for the defendant, and Messrs. Hous-
ton and Boutwell, for the state. An
effort was made by outside parties to
make it appear that there was great
excitement in this county over the
case, aud that the accused could not
have received q fair trial here.
Whilst we do not question the pro-
priety Of the change of venue, as
some personal enemies might have
tried to secure y verdict of guilty,
we pronounce the dispatch sent to
the st. Louis Globe, stating that be.
cause of the young mans father hsv-
ing been q union man, and on ac-
count of his now being a republican,
that a faction was endeavoring to
%persecnte him, q slander upon Lsfay-
cite county. The vigilance commit
tee of Aullville are the faction al
luded to, and it is well known that
its leader was a strong union man
during the a The dispatch to the
st. Louis Times is also q p~erversion
of the truth, for it says that Judge
Young, one Of the lawyers for the
defense was formerly a member of
the vigilantes, when such never was
the case. There was DO murder
proven and the young man was &C.
quilted. All the accounts we have
seen speak in glowing terms Of the
speeches made by the lawyers for the
defense, and especially Of the effort
made by Judge WIN. Young. The
st. Louis Times says that he "did
more to relieve and vindicate hin
than any other nj employed" Tht
Globe says, he "did more to relievt
young Welburn than any other at
torney employed" The Sedalia Dem
ocrat says, Judge Walker made
clear and impressive and CONVINCING
argument. Judge Young, who az
sisted him, spoke for an hour and tel
minutes, snd was equally vigorous il
his address. This praise of Judg,
Young is no disparagement to tn,
older members Of the bar associate,
with him, but when earned by
young man is especially to be ap
preciated. We congratulate DR.
Welburn on the happy denouemen
of his trouble, and venture to hop
that the past will serve as q warnin,
to the future.

We wish to give q word of warning
to the farmers of Lafayette county on
the subject of fire. The fine rains
which we had through the summer
q rank growth of grass
and weeds all over the country. AS
the time for cultivation was limited,
more weeds wero allowed to stand
than usual, and many fields that bad
been sown in wheat were permitted
to grow up in nothing else. These
facts, taken in connection with the
very dry weather we have had during
the autumn, has placed the country
in Ssnch a condition that q simple
spark might suffice to burn the fencing,
crops and out-houses on fifty farms.
We read of fires In many sections of
the state. In Audrain county, last
week, a district Of country five miles
square was destroyed. Fields of
corn, stacks Of hay and grain, fences,
aud out buildings all going down be-
fore the fire king. Sparks from
engines have burned many farms and
hundreds of miles of fencing. Only
q few days since thirty farms were
swept away in Green county, and
every day we have to note an occur.
renee of the kind. Be warned in
time and take auch steps as will pre-
vent like casualties in our OWL
county. trt

The steamship Pacific went down
forty miles south of Cape FlatterY, on
the Pacific coast, Thursday of last
week. Her entire crew and all the ras-
ssngers were lost with the exception
of two men, who were rescued from

statement of Jelly, the first rescued,
that the ship wal in q leaking condi-

southeastern wind, and that she ran
upon . rock. There were about two
hundred people aboard. Vessels are
now cruising for the missing boats,

says that he remembers all the panics
back to the year 1929, and that there
has never been in any one OF them
such universal depression of all
branches of business al that under
which the people RI now suffering.
"What is," he adds, "the cause of this
depression 80 long continued and SO
deeply felt? There is undoubtedly
many causes contributing to it, but l
affirm that the chief cause of the
present prostration is the Ignorance
and incompetency Of those who have
managed the national affairs"

Jay Gould is getting to be a power
in the land. Besides owning sufficient
stock in the Erie aud other eastern
roads to control them, he is said to
own twenty million dollars of the
stock of the Union Pacific railroad,
out of q total stock of fifty millions.
With his skill in manipulation this
gives him the control Of this road.
There is a suit now pending against
this road in the supreme court of the
United States which, if decided in its
favor, will appreciate the value of
the stock one hundred per cent.

The commercial value of Africa is
. matter which is thoroughly UNDER
stood and appreciated by England.
While the other great powers of the
earth have attached but little import
ance to that immense undeveloped
country, she has had her Burton, her
Spoke, her Grant, and last, though
greatest Of them all, her Livingstone,
exploring all parts of the continent

England succeed in her design she
will have an empire as large as the
