The recent message of the Governor
and reports of the other officials of Mis-
souri, present SO cheerful picture of
our States general condition, and SO
marked a superiority in some aspects
over the other well-governed States in
the Union, that we may be pardoned
for directing special attention to the
subject.
First, then tho State taxes in Missou-
ri are low-only 40 cents On the 500.
One-half, or 20 cents. is for general ex-
penses; the other half is for paying in
terest on the debt, and the debt itself,
az it matures-and tor no other purpose.
These taxes are found ample for the
purposes, and are the only state taxes
levied on property. Their proceeds
constitute, together with certain licen-
ses. the entire revenue.
The free educational system Of the
State is steadily growing in extent and
efficiency, and is at this time in bet
ter condition than it ever was before.
The number of children of school age
5 to 81 years-in creased from 676, l53 in
in 1877 to 723, 4S4 in 1850; and the total
funds held in trust for school purposes
in the state amount to SIS, 1850, sO5. The
colored people share the benefits of the
schools equally with the whites.
Perhaps the most gratifying fact pre-
sented in the recent official reports and
papers is the marked improvement in
our criminal admin istration. The num-
Der OF convicts in the single penitenti-
airy in the State actually decreased from
l .272 in 1879 to 1918 in 1854 falling
Off Of 30. This surprising fact is accom-
panied by another not less surprising;
the penitentiary, instead of being bur-
den to the State, is self-supporting and
a trifie more. Its earnings in the last
two years were $32 ,9Ol greater than the
cost of maintaining it. During that
time the earnings were $21l .617, and
the expenses $178,715; excess Ut earn
ings, $32, 90I. Another sact illustrating
the improvement in our criminal adj
is the diminutiOn in the
cost of criminal prosecutions. Hitherto
this item has been $500 900 to $244, 900
a year, but in 1880 it was only $l26, 697
"a reduction of $82,149 from the pre-
ceding year. This reduction is attrib-i
utable partly to changes made in the
laws regulating costs; but it is partly
also to marked decrease
In crime. Gov. Phelps says in his mes
sage: "Fewer crimes have been commit
ted, and the interminable delays which
were incident to the administration o
laws in large portion Of the
State have ceased to impede the de-
mands of JUSTICE" This is a simpley
statement Of trutL. Crime has decreas-|
ed In Missouri; the population Of the
has diminished; the laws
are more vigorously enforced; despera-
does have been driven from the State;
and public opinion is more intolerant OF
crime and demands stricter dealing
with law-breakers than ever before.
In word Missouri is remarkably peace
full, prosperous and exempt from causes
Of agitation and tumult; and her people
are steadily progressing in habits of in
dustry and thrift and improving in
moral bearing, intelligence and public
spirit.-Repubtican.

l have but little to write to-day.
Your last issue contained the an
nouncement of the death of Camden
Danley, son of VIM. +. Danley, of In
dian creek. Young Danley's death
was very unexpected TO his friends;
he had had fever for some time but
was thought to be recovering when
hemorrhage set in and I've died rather
suddenly. He was young man of
exemplary habits, sober, Industrious
and frugal, and was greatly beloved
in the neighbofhood, and his death
will be mourned by the entire COM
munity. He was "a or 25 years Of
age, was kind and atfcctionate in the
family circle, courteous and social in
his intercourse with all, and his
place will be vacant to all his associ-
ates. The, sister died only few
days since and one is yet sick, and
this doubly bereaved family deserve
much sympathy in their sad bcreave-
ment.

gathering on his jaw, and was con-
fined to his bed for several days.
There has also been some cases Of
scarlet fever on Indian creek; a child
