death of Gambetla furnished all aus
picious occasion for his insane claims
to sovereignty, issued a flaming proc
lamation to the NapoIsonists of France
a few days ago. declaring the republic
a failure and that the only salvation OF
the country Law in recognizing the
dynasty of his family. Very foolishly
the government instead of treating
him as a crazy man had him arrested
for treason, and a few Bonapartists are
endeavoriug to stir up a blaze OF ex-
cltemsnt for their miserable cause,
which has already cost France go
much. Three deputies speak OF resign

test for q seat, and to cap the climax of
absurdlty Eugenia is IN Paris Tor the
purpose, it is supposed, of defying the
republic to expsl her. The best thing
the republicans eau do is to have their
most radical members to call on her
and pay their respects to the Spanish
lady who for = while shared the throne
ofa French emperor, treat her with
simple courtesy and neither lionize or
terrorize her. The fact that republican
France is surrounded with monarchies
whose agents are continually laborlng
to break down her republican aspira-
ton. should not discourage her patri-

Germany upon n side, Bourbon SPAN
upon the other. and degenerate Italy
upon the other, needsmust have . hard
time in establishing the right of the
people to govern themselves. but their
every effort should meet the sympathy
of all other republics, especially this OF
ours. established by the aid of French
blood and treasure. G%ambetta's death
is NO real blow to the republic. He
was a radical. What the French
people need at this time is conserva-
tism. They want to hold what they
have already secured, rather than to
fly from conquest to conquest of ne and
untried ideas of liberty. They sh ould
read the lives and papers of Washing

Independence, the American oonslitu.

the Roman republic and its fall. They
should trampls under foot all kingly
prerogative, spurn Imperialism as they
would a leprosy, listen to their dead
Theirs and their living Grevy, and
America may yet be able to extend
the right hand of fellowship OF tho
first great country to solve the prob.
lem of popular government to the first
great European coantry to follow her
example. To add to the complications
the minintry has resigned. but it is
thought that most of the cabinet will

We are sorry to see the Sedalia
Democrat defend Senator Vests
remarks on ziuc spelter. The senator
has not a better friend in Missouri than
the lntelligencer, but that is no reason
why 1t should call his mistakes wis
dom. The doctrine he snunoiated is
not democratic, and 1t gives away the
whole democratic position OH the
tariff. Protection incidental to a tariff
for revenue, and protection to an
infant industry, without regard to
revenue, are two very different things.
One is, and the other is not, authoriz-
ed by the constitution of the United
States.

LETTER FROM JEFFERSON CITY.
CITY, Mo. Jan. 81, 1888.

ClTY, MO-, Jan. 81, 1905.
EDITOR INTELL1GENCER: - To-day
has been a ''field day" in the legisla.
ture. The subject before the house
was the appointment of the supreme
court commission. The bill providing
for the commission was almost identi-
cal with the one introduced at the last
general assembly by Mr. Major, of
Howard. There was som, skirmishlng
early in the day over the attempt made
by several members to so amend the
bill as that the appointive power
should be conferred upon the govern
or, instead of the supreme court as the
bill required these amendments were
discarded for o time and then over
whelmingly voted down. The ques-
ton then arose as to the third reading |
of the bill. Many arguments were !
given, some very forcibly given pro
and con as to the constitutionality Of
the proposed law, until we poor COM
mon follows felt that we were in ''con-
fusion worse confounded," and had to
exclaim as did the eminent justice of the
peace OF our county, after listening to
the arguments OF two of our worthy \
county lawyers, "Gentlemen. you are
both learned in the law; you ought to
know. what the law IN the case Is; you
do know l am convinced gentlemen,
that you are both right" The debate
lasted from 10 a. m., to 6 p. M, and
upon the calling of the roll resulted in
sixty one ayes, and sixty-nine noes.
The motion was not made.t reconsider
the vote by which the bill failed to paes
and the probabilities are that q motion \
to reconsider may yet be made. and
another I fort put forth to pass the bill;
if this be done, we are likely to have
another contest over it. 1 should like |
very much to see the court relieved iu
so far as it is necessary that parties
at litigation should obtain a speedy |
trial. But [ am not yet convinced
that the method proposed IS either the
best, the most economical, or constitu- |
tional. We had strong arguments In
favor of the bill, claiming TO establish
that said bill did contain these ele-
ments; but / was SC dull and so obtuse |
as to mental discernment that l could |
not 'see it," 1 would much prefer
aud have so urged some of the advuca.
tes, that a bill be framed granting an
additional appropriation, If it be nee.
essary. to pay for two or three referees
to be appointed by the court to assist
them in Opposing OF the accumulated
cases now upon the courts docket.
AS the case now stands, justice cannot
be speedily administered in the su.
preme court, although this Is true, better
suffer this evil than fly to those that are
greater. Too busy to write more now.
