Though the longest way round is the
shortest way home, sometimes. when a
fellow is seeing his girl back from
church on a nice moonlight night, we
cannot see the sense OF the railroads
forcing our people to 60 to st. Louis by
way of Kansas City. The fares as they
now stand are, from Kansas City to St.
Louis, so cents; from Lexington to St.
Louis. 81 80; from Lexington to Kansas
City, 81 70, SO that the railroad fare to
St. Louis. by way of Kansas City. is
81 30. AS it is difficult to make connec
tons at Kansas City. a nights expense
at a hotel and two extra bus fares are to
be added to this. SO that the saving is
not all that 1t appears. But why cannot
the roads from here do as is done at JET
terson City. another competing poiIt,b by
selling tickets at something like the
fare that it is possible to obtain. say at
81 so to st. Louis. thereby saving our
people the trouble of running up to Kan.

Our good friends OF the Marshall Dem
ocrat cannot be accused of not being
stalwart democrats, but they feel pretty
much as all other democrats do about
the 'twin luna'ics," as may seen by the
following: 1.-The raving lunatio who
runs the Okolona States in tho south has
suddenly been confronted with his pro-
totype or twin lunatic in the north, who
runs the Lemars Qowa) Sentinel, and a
pretty pair Of bowling maniacs they are.
AS fast as n yells for secession and the
capture OF Washington by the southern
brigadiers, the other shrieks for Grant
as president for life, the abolition OF
state lines, the complete unification of
the whole country into an empire and
the hanging OF all bourbon democrats.
Both ought to be put in the lunatic

It is astonishing. after the persistent

A special telegram to the st. Louis
Republican, last Wednesday, gives the
gist of a number of interviews with Gov.
Hendricks In New York. the day before,
as follows: s.AIl the morning news
papers contain interviews with ex-
Gov. Hendricks. To a Times reporter
he said that many things might happen
between now and 1880. and nobody
could tell who will be the candidate.
Ho inclined to the belief that when the
nominating time came candidates would
be selected less with regard to fitness
than availability. To q Tribune repre-
sentative he said the outlook in Ohio
was cheering and he was hopeful. To
a Herald commissioner he remarked
that Grant is the strongest Republican
candidate In Indiana, and that the peo-
pie of the West did not generally under
stand New York politics. To the Sun
ambassador be reafirmed that under no
circumstances would he consent to be-
come a candidate for second place on
the ticket. He accepted before because
to refuse would have been to weaken

a complete understanding of the affairs
and managementof such office. 1t shall
be the duty OF the encouragement,
whenever so directed by the governor,
to bring and prosecute in behalf OF the
state any and all such suits" These
powers the governor did not before pos
sess. He has them now. If the legls-
lature did not 60 as far as u friend

abled the governor to do so. He may

Is doing his duty in the premises, as
useless, fruitless suits could do no good.
The Sentinel does us but justice when
it says that did we know that we were
sitting on q dirty nest we would try to
clean it. We have no sympathy for
criminals. no associations with political
or social blackguards, but we must stop
short when a IA of unblemished rep
utation like Senator Vest is assailed, as
concerned in bargain and sale of Office.
and with being the agent of a corrupt
ring. We believe Vest to be a pure man.
honest IN private transactions and as
very a hater of shams as Dean Swift
himself. AS far from being a dema-
gogue for place as it is possible tor man
to be. since no man more boldly speaks
out the honest sentiments of his soul,
though 1t may not always be prudent
to do so.
We believe in Furnishing the guilty;
especially if they be democrats. because
we are interested in keeping de-
mocracy pure, but we want to have the
right men punished, and we fail to see
the good that can be accomplished by
pouring abuse yer men as pure and as
able as have ever upheld the banner OF
democracy, because, forsooth, they do
not see through other peoples spec
tacles.
As we see it, s'the democratic crisis in
this state'' is the fact that our large ma
jority has e%ngendered strites and CON-
troversies within the party. which seem
hard to heal. 1t should be the effort OF
all true democrats to forget and forgive.
Let by-gones be by-gones, and with pure,
strong men at the helm, let us grid on
or arnor to meet the common enemy.
With this sentiment on our lips. We are
willing to strike hands with our friend
at Independence, and promise to be no
laggard IN the fight.

No man who has ever .been a true
democrat a be an honest greenbacker.
Jeffersonlan democracy means limita-
ton of government to the smallest pos
sible functions. or the principle that the
people which is least governed is best
governed. The idea which the nation
ais have is to make this a patriarchal
government, where tae masses are to
be thought Tor and acted for as if they
were wards of the nation. The demo-
cratic idea is that a poor man is as good
as a rich man, and just as able to take
care of his liberty and to earn his living,
and thai the only legislation for labor
should be the %abstention from legisla-
tlon against It, at most such legislation
as will protect the poorer classes. The
party which pleads the baby act can
never win in America.
