The best prnteciorszofa ahe James boys

grants from this state, or to make capi-
tai tor party. The Detroit Tribune,
for instance, says:
"Untll the authorities of Missouri adopt
some. earnest and efficient means Tor
Kidding the state of the band of murder
ers and outlaws who have so long in
tested it, and rendered travel dangerous,
we advise all travellers for the west to
shuns 1t as they would the haunts OF
Italian brigands. They eau reach Kan

taking the route north or south OF that
God-forsaken land. And as for settling
In that paradise OF robbers, and murder

THE MOTIVE.
From the Pleasant Hill Review. l

From the Pleasant Hill RevieW.l
Quite a. newspapers controversy is
being waged. between Hon. rA.N A.
Lesueur. of the Lexington InteIligencer
and the Kansas City journal, which
grew out OF the following which appear.
ed IN the Journal last Tuesday:
''Mr. L. is like a good many other
Bourbons, he can never see any of the
James gang, and does not believe that
they ever entered Missouri to plunder
banks and railroad trains. He is blind
because he does not want to see, on
many occasions"
We do not desire nor do we intend to
defend or apologize for the friends OF
the James boys. We have no more re-
spect for these outlaws personally or
otherwise than we have for horse
thief or murderer. But it is quite the
rule for many republicans and republi.
can papers to charge the democratic
party. as party, with being IN sympa-
thy with them. aud responsible for their
crimes. This is as unjust as it's untrue.
We do not pretend TO deny that there
are democrats who sympathize with
them and aid them in their depredations.
But this sweeping charge that all demo-
Gratis are their friends and shield them,
we most emphatically protest against,
With few exceptions the democrats OF
this state just as heartily condemn these
outlaws and will do as much to bring
them to justice as any republican. They
realize as much as anybody the detri.
ment these desperadoes are to our. state.
The secret OF the malicious charges
against our party and our state is that
we have democratic state government,
and the radical element hope by misrep-
resenting the democracy, In this as we'll
as all other questions, to foist themselves
into power. But TIE motive will be
readily apparent and In the end will
bring only disastrous defeat as in the
past.

How easy is it see the sins Of other

Boston Sunday school superintendent
tells us of an experience of his. in proof
OF this truth. One Sunday he found in
his school q class of. urchins, recently
gathered in from the s,reets, without q
teacher for the dag (; 80 he took them in
hand. 20 He. came right down to first
principles, and talked OF sin and saliva
ton. One of his pointed questions was:
''Isthese any isinnerin this classp" In
stantly the answer came from one of the
brightest Of the boys, who pointed at the
end Of the seht, s'Yes, that fellow down
there.'' That boy was more outspoken
that he would have been II he had been
long er in the school but his mode of
living Was much like that !.ofthose long
under christian training. There is no
sorrow, like our sorrow and no sins
