ST. Louis is never satisfied. She has de-
veloped directory man who discounts him
of Chicago, and, having conquered the city
at the head of Lake Michigan she has set
about conquering the little village that re-
sides on Manhattan Island. Be it known
that the police of New York have long been
noted for their facility in clubbing peaceful
citizens, but st. Louis has gone better by
producing policemen who shoot citizens in
the back and then, to vindicate their act,
endeavor to prove their victims guilty of all
the crimes enumerated in the decalogue. The
broom belongs to the city by the bridge.

GEN. EWING has declined to participate in
a joint debate with certain orators selected
by the Greenback party of Ohio, and gives
as his reason for such refusal the fact that
he has no controversy with the Greenback-
ers, but is in full accord with them on all
the main questions which they uphold. This
is sensible. There is not enough difference
between the Democratic and Greenback
parties on the financial question to quarrel
about, and there is no use in antagonizing
the two organizations.

FINANCE AND THE ISSUES RAISED
IN CONGRESS

FINANCE AND THE ISSUES RAISED
IN CONGRESS-.
Secretary Sherman is not a success as
campaign orator, if we may believe the state
ment of Mr.. Fisher, of Pennsylvania, who is
acting as chairman of the Republican Con-
gressional committee at Washington. In a
recent interview Mr.. Fisher declared that
previous to Mr.. Sherman's going to Maine
the party was certain of the State, but since
he had gone there and tstalked his id
financial nonsense" the prospect had become
dubious. "These Maine Yankees Mr..
Fisher declared, "can't understand Sher-
mans financial policy, and,'' he added, s'I'u
be Id if I CAM Last year the party was
short of success some thirteen Thousand
votes, and though Republican gains are ex-
pected by everybody this year, Mr.. Fisher
fears they will not be sufficient to make up
the difference. His opinion of Mr.. Sher-
mans financial theories, however, may bring
him to grief, for as yet the secretary is
potent power, both officially and in a party
sense.
b
belief that Sherman's financial speeches
have injured the Republican cause in Maine,
makes more significant admission-that
the issues raised by the Democratic party at
the extra session of Congress are creating
great havoc, and portend great disaster in
the Republican ranks. The enormity of the
federal election laws has never heretofore
been understood by the public at large.
People generally accepted the laws, when
they were enacted, as proper as well as expe-
dent. They did not perceive the menace
they contained to the liberty of every citizen
the hidden and insiduous purpose to sub
vert the genius of the government. But the
debates in Congress have exposed these mo-
tives for their enactment, and there has been
an awakening that is likely to reach over

FECHTER's DEATH,

The Scandal of HIS Double Marriage Re
Uived-His Funeral.
Z PHILADELPHIA, Aug. THE same Doc
tor Pancoast who performed the autopsy on
the bodies of the Siamese twins here several
years ago examined the body of Fechter to-
night. The liver was found to be enor-
mously large, too large indeed to go into
half-bushel measure; his skin, yellow as
chyle, and the tympanitic condition of the
abdomen were indications that the great
actor had died of excessive and long-con-
diligence of his inordinate appetite for the
richest and largest quantities Of food. Quite
an interesting question is going on
in private and in some private
circles concerning the right of Lizzie Price,
the actress, who has been living with
Fechter as his wife for several years, to be
called his wife. She always signs herself

Scott County Advocated
With not more than half dozen excep-
lions, the State papers warmly advocate the
support of the State fair instead of the Min
neapolis concern, chiefly for the reason that
the former is a State institution, and one in
which the whole people are interested. The
Minneapolis fair is run in the interest of a
played out politician, who seems to have no
other means of support than the few hun
dred dollars he pockets annually as his share
of the proceeds. If Minneapolis wishes to
reciprocate the past benefits she has received
through Bill King, let her pension him off,
instead of attempting to sustain him at the
cost of crushing out an institution that
would otherwise prove of incalculable benefit
to the State at large.
