MAJOR EDWARDS
Pronounced the Greatest Jour
nalist in the Country
To-day,
But Bis Sympathy for the Lost
Cause Gets the Better Of
His Judgment.

Major Jno.. n. Edwards, who has just
assumed entire control of the st. Joseph
Gazette, is thus referred to by Mr.. George
E. King, who, on Monday last, retired al
business manager of that paper:
81 think / have made an utter failure In
managing the Gazette, but think none the
less of myself on that account. could no
more manage or utilize Major Edwards
editorial work than you could a Kansas
cyclone or hurricane. | think highly OF
Major Edwards personally, and would 90
him a kindness any time, and purpose to
be his friend in the future, so far as he is
individually concerned. / regard him as a
very brilliant writer, but his writing stops
at hrilIiancy. 1t is beautiful and impos-
ing, but it is too much on the order of a
Fourth of July pyrotechnic display. 1t be-
wilders by its beauty and grandeur, and
dazzles the mind, but it is not impressive
leaves no strong impression. 1t is a pity
that the grand talent and power which
Major Edwards possesses cannot be enlisted
in the Interests of humanity, civilization
and progress. If his power could be direct
ed for the good of humanity, he would be
the greatest journalist in this country. As
it is, he is unfortunately and irredee mably
welded to the lost cause, his confederate
brethren. and be has not proper apprecia-
ton of the laws of the country In which he
lives; and what is more distressing, he can
not give up his friendship for the James
gang. He will insist, despite every effort
that have been able to make to the con-
trary, upon making the Gazette the apollo
gist and the organ of tie James gang of
outlaws, and to use his own langr age, he
wisheslthat there were regiment of Frank
James in this state l do not know how
this appears to the public and my fellow
democrats, but it occurs to me that il is a
blight, destruction the party must feel,
and in brief, no hing short of calamity,
not only to the party in Northwest Mis-
aouri, but the city of st. Joseph-a NJ after
in my judgment, OF SO serious a nature as
should rouse the indignation of the people
to such pitch that they would meet and
announce that such declarations are not
the sentiments of this people. 1t is due to
themselves 10 do this
ct is for this reason / feel myself incom-
petent TO manage the Gazette, the kind of
paper it has got to be. | shall 90 back to
my Saturday Democrat, advocate those
principles and policies by which / have
made a series of gratifying successes in
Northwest Missouri. and shall do
this in the name of Democracy"

Maj. John Edwards Partner.

Geo. E. Kings withdrawal from the St.
joe Gazette, is another illustration of the
old fact that there is room enough only for
one editor on one newspaper. Major John
Edwards and Mr.. King took hold of the
Gazette in June. They pulled along to-
gether pretty comfortably until Col. James
trial became an issue in that part of the
state. Then the MAJOR felt called upon to
stand by the Colonel. Mr.. King objected,
but the editor held to his course. Now Mr..
King retires, SAYING that the Majors COM
partnership of frank James was entirely
too brash for him. Col. James return
within the pale of the law appears to have
revived the yendittas OF the evil war with
great intensity in Western Missouri.-St.

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
il out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts .are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
moi blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.
