We print on the outside OF this issue
an article from the pen of Maj. Jno. N
Edwards, on ''Slandering Missouri
which is we'll written and just-ex'
cept the doubt expressed that Mr.. Nc.
Cullagh could have used the language
attributed to him. The Globe Democrat
has been a constant libel upon Missouri
and her people under his management
then why should he not have said it
Beside, he reprinted the interview with
out qualification or denial. There Is,
probably, no other people on earth sc
tolerant as are Missourians, else Mr..
McCullagh's paper would have very
many less readers.

The Globe-D emocrat says, editorial
ly. of Mr.. Sherman, eff he really were a
candidate for the presidency, his extra
ordinary, though lawful, kindness to the
national banks would hurt him with the
people, but since he is out of the race,
he need not mind what his enemies say
about him." TheGlobe should not be too
previous in this matter. The Sherman
bar'I may do a great deal yet. Twenty
five hundred national banks all oyer the
country regard HIM as their Moses. and
are ready to she'll out for him. Beside,
the little divvies that have accumulated
from the millions that have laid for
months idle in banks, will be forthcom-
ing, too. There is no bar'l like the
Sherman bar'l, and it will beat the
Grant boom, sure.

The Massachusetts, democratic state
central committee have decided that the
Butle- party is not the democratic party.
This is well. Let the democrats there
stick to their organization. If Mr.. But
Ter wants to be a democrat, let him come
in as . penitent, and serve his term of
probation.
The Chicago Inter-O Ocean says:-"The
democratic party has got to be voted
down or whipped down. 1t is simply a
question whether it will allow itself to
be fairly beaten at the polls or compel
its own determination on the field. Its
existence has become a standing menace
to liberty in this country" This seems
to breathe of the shot gun policy.
The Kansas City Mail says that if St.

We clip these few sensible words
from the Journal of Agriculture and
Farmer, of September 4th: fol-
lowing communication from the attor-
ney-gensral of Missouri to the assessor
of Lafayette county. sets forth the law
in regard to taxing crops in this state,
and we give it as a matter of interest to
farmers who wish to be further informed
on the subject. The resolutions of the
Lafayette county grange which follow
it, and which we take from the Lexing-
ton Intelligeucer, show what the farm
ers think of the law. The determine
ton to resist the enforcement of the
law, If done in a constitutional and law
full way, is we'll enough, but we doubt
if any benefit will be derived from it.
The better plan is to keep cool now. pay
the taxes as good citizens, take proper
steps for organization in time before the
next election aud send representatives
to both branches of the legislature who
will repeal the odious law. This is the
only feasible way to remedy it"

ventlon met at Saratoga. last Wednes-

make any provision for raising the money necessary
to pay these arrears of pensions, and the RepnnIl-
cans have on both occasions voted in favor of the
means proposed.
Now some Of the nnstionsts among the Demo

ury be directed to issue new greeubacks to meet the
demands Of the pensioners under the new law.
Failing in that, they viii propose to, instruct Nr.
Sherman 10 pay hem out of the fund reserved Tor
