COL. JOHN F. PHILIPS.
The Removal of Himself and Fam
lily to Kansas City, Yesterday.
A Tribute to a Noble Man.

Yesterday Col John F. Philips removed
from Sedalia to Kansas City. This is no
common event and the separation OF ties
caused BY it deserves more than passing
and formal notice.
There is too often a tendency to pour
forth fulsome fattery when a prominent
citizen departs from the community in
which he lived and toiled. Words are too
often written which lose their value when
weighed in the balance of truth. To be.
speak the praises of men is an easy task
and one which comes to us voluntarily
under circumstances which touch the
chords of sentiment and move the springs
of generous praise.
The standing OF a man determines the
extent of the effect of his separation from
neighbors and the circle of business and
social life in which he has moved.
Col. Philips stands in this city
and in this state the peer OF the
best. He::is gentleman in every sense OF
this fine and sententious word, with the
courtliest of manners, the outgrowth OF a
heart as kind as woman's, quick to accord
rights, and to recognize the amenities due
from one gentleman to another.
Col Philips is man of splendid natural
and acquired gifts and culture. Endowed
by nature with more than ordinary mental
powers, he has so trained them through
years Of hard study and close application
as that he is to-day q brilliant orator, a
lawyer of proud distinction, scholar Of
varied and rich possessions.
At the bar he stands among the ablest
practitioners; on the rostrum he is the sill
ver-tongued orator; in the social world he
is the courtly gentleman; in the church
he is the simple and humble christian,
fsithful in his duties and loyal to his
Master.
As a citizen, Sedalia will miss Col.
Philips, the church will miss him, and So
ciety will keenly feel the absence of his
wife and lovely daughter. That our loss
is Kansas City's gain cannot be questioned.
Such man is an honor to any community
and deserves the highest and best success.
That he and his will be blessed with all
the joys and comforts of life, the BAzOO
unites with hosts of friends in wishing.

in High Life in the Ter
ritOry.

In a private letter from the Indian ter
ritory was the following:
I'VE had marriage in Savanna in high
life at the hotel few days ago. Tie por-
ter married one of the hash artists. The
bride was elegantly dressed in new calico
dress, cut bias and fringed with polonaise,
wearing small bunch OF sunfowers and
dog fennel in her hair. The groom wore
yellow jeans and buckskin gloves. He
looked very happy and did not seem to
fully understand what he had on hand,
bu. strange as il NAV seem, both are still
living. They started ON their wedding tour
al once"

SUCKING COONS.
How the Young Africans Of Soda
liza Supply Themselves with
Beer and Other In
toxicants.

The ingenuity OF the rising generation
OF Sedalia's pests, the male coons, passeth
understanding. Their lazy and pestiferous
habits, their disgusting and even disrepu-
table presence on our most public thor
oughfares and at the depot, have been
written up in the BAZoo time and again.
coupled with appeals for some effort at
their suppression and removal.
But il has always remained a mystery
TO the general public how these scamps and
lazaroni manage to supply themselves with
the beverages which intoxicate, and the
no money, or very little of that necessary
commodity; they are not allowed in the
saloons. and where in the world they get
their drinks has been secret to most
people, nor may they care much whether
or no the secret Is revealed.
THEY SUCK FROM KEGS.
Yesterday, as a BAZoo reporter was pas
sing along Kentucky street, his attention
was attacted to a trio of these dirty chaps
who were wrangling over a beer keg on
the sidewalk. Each of them had a long
straw i'm his hand and each one was trying
to get his straw in the bUnghole of the key.
They pushed and "ctssed" one another and
almost came to blows.
The reporter stopped to see the result OF the
struggle. He had not long to wait, for the
largest one OF the three soon became master
of the situation, and was quickly drawing
the remnant of stale beer ont OF the key
with all the satisfaction Of pig drawing
the tactical fluid from its mother.
His two companions looked on with en-
w and anger, but made no further attempt
to obtain their drinks from that precious
keg.
After satisfying himself, the sucker
withdrew, stretched his lousy carcass in q
doorway and was soon asleep. The sight
was disgusting one, and yet had q grim
humor about it which caused the news.
paper man to smile as he witnessed it.
This, then, is the way these coons
get their beer. They 60 from
saloon to saloon, insert their straws in the
emptied kegs on the sidewalks or in the
alleys and get full on the stale beer left in
them.
THEIR TOBACCO,
especially their cigars, is picked up on the
spy "snipe" a hundred yards away and
the finding of one only half smoked up is
as rich "strike" as the discovery Of q
paying lead is to grizzly miner.
And from these are to come q class OF
citizens whose votes will count as much as
the finest gentleman's, and whose support
will be eagerly sought after by the aspir-
rant for Office.
What free-and-easy country this is, to
be sure.

Worth Remembering.

Now that good times are again upon US,
it is worth remembering that no one can
enjoy the pleasantest surroundings ii in
bod health. There are hundreds OF miser.
able people going about to-day with dis
ordered stomach, liver or kidneys, when a
bottle of Parker's Ginger's To1c would
do them more good than all the medicines
they have ever tried.

WHO II HE:

The Demand Of tho best Workers.
New Era.
The gang who trained with Brimmer,
now under indictment for barn burning,
are very indignant at some OF their pOliti-
cal bosses, for whom tho gang has been
serving in tho role Of "t the best workers
Of the war,l," because they have not
stepped forward with the necessary bail
to get their unfortunate companion out Of
Jail. Their message to an ambassador sent
on this errand was, prefaced with an oath,
"Fell him he mustdO it, or we will mako
it hot for him ~ As the parties making
this demand are known to have received
rs high as s115 each for their work in a
single primary, it is probably tho ward
bosses will claim that tho account was
squared with cash down, and that barn
burning was not part of the contract.
Still it will be we'll for counsel for tho
commonwealth to keep sharp eye on all
parties concerned, not only on the suffi-
cheney of any bail that may bs offered, but
also on certain elements which not un-
frequently and mysteriousiy manage to
get representation in the jury box. Tho
commonwealth has to deal with Il desper-
ate gang, all the more dangerous because
they rely upon certain influences not ap-
parent to the public to get them out Of
trouble.

The suggestion that the county of
Lancaster shall not rebuild its insane
asylum, but shall send its patients to the
state asylums is, We think, a very excel.
lent one. The question of expense does
not properly enter into the determination
of the matter until the question as to
what would he best for the unfortunate
people themselves is decided {; because
we take it for granted that the county
Of Lancaster is rich enough to be able to
afford to its insane the best care that
they can have; and we believe its people
are willing TO incur any reasonable ex.
pense for the purpose. 1t cannot cost a
great deal more to pay the state fol
keeping our insane patients than to keer
them ourselves in a proper way
and the state can keep them better.
It's institutions are larger and are able
TO secure the best superintendent.
They may be expected to he better gov
ernel than county institutions. 1t
would he possible for county to secure
as good management if it paid well
enough for it and if it was fortunate
in its choice Of managers but it may
make itself much more sure of the due
care of its insane by cOnfiding their
keeping to the state institutions and re.
lieving itself moreover of a troublesome
responsibility.

THE controversy between the New
York Sun and the Cincinnati Commercial
over the late President Garfield is a
study in the natural history of journal
ism. Those who want to learn the diff
ference between a newspaper that has a
backbone and one that lacks it should
read this discussion. 1t is needless to
say that the Sun has the vertebral COL
umn. The Commercial is now defending
Mr.. Garfield's DeGolyer fee by pointing
out that it was only half as much as
" Conkling's ten-thousand dollar fee in
the Phelps-D Dodge complication-twice
the sum that Garfield got in the DeGol-
yer case. And what did Garfield ever
do rs questionable as COnkling's recent
lobbying on contingent fees in Washing
ton and Albany p" We should say that
when lledefense comes to this stage the
apolOgist is doing more harm than the
assailant.

The allegation Of ex-senator Simon
Cameron that the independent move.
ment In this state and the popular re.
volt against his methods is inspired and
supported by free trade organizations
has met with swift and emphatic denial
from those whom it most concerned.
The Times reprints from the platform OF
the Independent convention the follow.
ing plank to show that the elder Cam
eron had lost his cunning when he gave
out such statement with any expecta.
tion that it would be believed:
1. We declare our attachment to the
principles of tho Republican party-free-
dom, union, nationality, equal rights be-
fore the lAW, maintenance OF tho public
faith, PROTECTION TO HOME INDUSTRY,
and We demand that the record which hai
been 20 nobly made shall be wisely and
fearlessly perpetuated.
1t is not likely that Cameron forgot
this nor that many of the Independent
leaders of this state are far more pro-
nounced in their tariff views than Sena-
tor Cameron himself. The father - Of
protection and of the Pennsylvania dele
cation in Washington is the man who
once expressed the hope that in his epi
taph it might be said he never had the
friendship of Cameron, and the most
violent anti Cameron men in the state
are among the most jealous friends OF
protection.
Cameron did not forget nor overlook
this. He only sought to invoke an issue
in the present dire straits of his party
whereby to divert the public mind from
the fixed purpose to overthrow his dy-
nasty and its corrupt methods. Having
betrayed every party he ever belonged
to, and without any fixed polit'
ical principles or any power to hold
men together save by the cohesive power
of public plunder, his dynasty would
surrender the cause of protection or any
other it ever espoused if it could ad-
vance its own selfish interests thereby.
When Don consigned the tariff and bust.
ness interests of Pennsylvania to per-
dition, conditioned on their support of
him, he gave expression to the char
acteristicS of his race.
As Chairman Hensel says in an inter-
view on this subject, Cameron cannot
divert the people of the state from the
real issues of this campaign which relate
to administrative reform. Cameron
ism has created the demand for
this reform. 1t has degraded the
state and led to the division in
the party which has been mildewed
with It. Its overthrow is the object of
this campaign, and that purpose will be
steadily persisted in.

REPUTABLE people naturally condemn
stock gambling and all the stock gam
bler's methods, but Gov. Cornell! may
find some consolation in his misery in
the undisguised admiration of many
former foes for the man who could
beat Jay Gould. So far as the latter
is concerned in the great fight it is a
clear case OF the bitter being bitten.
Had Cornell divided his ill-gotten gains
with the unscrupulous Wall street boss
all would have been well. BY .the way,

stand were he to render an account
