The Coming Conflict.

Last week there was o council OF
Roman Catholic Bishops held at Balti-
more, to agree upon measures to be
adopted at the approaching Council to
be soon held at the Vatican in Rome.
The Eastern papers say that it was
agreed that: 1.-THE question of Catholic
education will be thoroughly discussed
and an order will be issued forbidding
the sacraments to parents who send
their children to public schools. ALI
the prelates left for home to-day ex-
cept Bishop Ryan, who will remain
until next week and will preach at the
Cathedral Sunday morning."
We do not believe this is possible. 1t
is inbred in the native American race
all over this country, that the common
school system is the bulwark of our
republican institutions, and surely the
authorities of the Roman Catholic
Church are too wise, too patriotic, to
precipitate upon the country All issue
which would inevitably cause more
violent passions, and bitter antagon-
isms, than any we have yet experience
ed during our national history.

The growth of Southeast Missouri
during the past ten years has been SO
constant and steady, without any adj
vertising or buster, that the people of
other parts of the State and country
are liable to find themselves much de-
ceived as to it's development as cleo
tons or other tests are applied. One
reason why its improvement has been
overlooked, is because the improve
ment has been greater in the agricul-
tural districts than in the towns. Such
improvement is substantial and per-
manent, and the growth of the towns
must necessarily follow. The area of
titled land in the counties OF the dis
trict has been doubled in ten years.
and the methods of cultivation are
generally much better. The result is
larger crops, more profit, and a bal
ance of trade i'm favor of nearly every
county in the district.

Ed. Register-Havingr received let.

line of march was taken up at 6:25 A
NJ. At Reeds creek, the tourist was
overtaken by Mr.. Barlow, who kind
ly rendered a seat on his lumber wag.
on. The offer was gladly accepted
and after pleasant jaunt, we parted
company at Mr.. Imboden's, at $3.50 A.
NJ. At GAS the tourist reached Ken.
dall's store at Kaolin. where he found
Father Whitney trading. Desiring the
pleasure of his company, delay OF
thirty minutes occurred there.
At 1915 the march was resumed,
Father Whitney being on horseback
and the tourist on foot and in the lead,
Desiring to recover the lost thirty min
utes, the first four miles were travelled
in fifty-tive minutes. Father Whitney
being in the lead and the ground some
what broken, the second four miles &C.
cupied one hour and fifteen minutes,
when the procession reached Father
Whitney's residence, in q house for
merly occupied by Mrs. Miller at the
mouth of q short hollow running to
ClsytOn's creek, hotween the Croxton
and Bradshaw hollows.
Having been formerly acquainted
with the premises, the tourist was
pleased by seeing a great improve
ment. Father Whitney although well
up In the eighties, has great energy,
and has cleared up quite a scope Of
land, and has an excellent hewed log
house nearly finished. He harvested
some wheat, and has quite lot of corn
light in stalk but well cared.
Having spent a very pleasant hour,
the tourist pulled up stakes; and after
foy H.
Wilson Croker and Henry Hender-
son, reached Elder Jno. r. Adams, at
3:45 p. NJ, and found him busy prepar-
ing to make up his sugar cane. The
evening was spent discussing school
matters.
On Saturday, Elder Adams had a
church appointment, and the tourist
spent that day and the Sabbath among
the Hendersons. On Monday morning,
the Board of Directors met and con-
tracted with the tourist for q four
months school, to commence Septem-
Der 18th; so that, until farther orders,
his p. y. address will be at GoOdland,
Iron county, Mo.
Then the return trip began. Leav-
ing Clayton's creek, near Mr.. Carroll
CrOcker's, the route lay along the crest
of the ridge and down the Panther
branch and out on Outre Fork, four and
a half miles north of the county line.
This is the shortest and best route
from Belleview to the Adams settle
ment. An expenditure of about fifteen
dollars would make a very passable
road for five miles. About a mile and
a half farther up the creek, overlook
Mr.. Lashley's team coming home from
Black river; but, being very hungry
and in somewhat of hurry, could not
wait for it; and reached Mr.. John
Webb's about 8. P. NJ, and spenta very
happy evening. Besides Mr.. Webb
and his own family. Mr.. Everett Brock
inridge, who is teaching in that neigh
borhood, has his home there, and his
presence aided to make the time pleas
ant.
On Tuesday morning, the tourist rode
over TO Beiieview i'm buggy with Mise
Lucy, Mr.. Webb and Mr.. Middleton.
The trip was sweet oasis in a weary
life. T. G..

Frank James Trial!

The James boys wing Of the Democratic
party in Missouri is doing great deal to
hurt the Democratic party outside OF Mis-
souri,. If the Democratic party is to be sad
died with a defense Of that partisan trial and
verdict, or If the impression goes abroad that
no candidate for Governor can get the Demo-
cratic nomination unless he or his newspaper
supporters stand forth rs conspicuous up
holders of that verdict, such a contamination
will be the browning shame of the James
boy business. Nowhere in this Union are
the people more unanimous than in Missouri
in their absolute conviction that Frank James
was guilty as charged i'm the Indictment, and
that the evidence proved his guilt clear of all
reasonable doubt. II the honest sentiment
of the party and of the State continues to be
misunderstood and misrepresented abroad,
1t will be solely to the trucking homage
which candidates and politicians pay to the
James hoy influence in the Democratic party.
POST Dispatch.
There is no doubt but the impression
produced everywhere outside of Mis-
souri,, by the James trial, has been
about as bad MS it could be, for the rep
utation of our State.
Whether Frank James was, or was
not, guilty of the particular piece of
villiany for which he was tried, we do
not know. That he has been a mon
ster scoundrel, that he has perpetrated
crimes for which he deserves to be
hung. there is no doubt. With the
James gang, we have not particle of
sympathy; and the Post Dispatch is
right in saying that "nowhere in this
Union are the people more unanimous
in condemning outlawry than in Mis-
souri," They are determined that it
must and shall be suppressed The
few papers In our State that publish
apologetic notices of these cut-throats,
cannot change the practically unani-
NOUS condemnation of the solid, law
abiding people Of this State.
And yet, although this is true, the
whole country outside of Missouri, is
in a sort of sardonic smile at Missouri,
for the way we punish,-or, rather,
fail to punish, criminals and outlaws.
1t was not the jury in this case that
brought this discredit upon our State,
by it's verdict, SO much as the conduct
of certain high persons who prominent
Iy figured in the trial.. We especially
allude to the very discreditable exhibit

birmingham, Ala, known as the
Magic City, has had growth not less
remarkable than that of some of the
famous Western towns. In 1873 it was
a ragged village o: $500 Inhabitants.
In that year it was nearly depopulated
by a cholera epidemic. An era of rail-
road building set in in the State, and
the intersection of two lines there
brought Birmingnam's population up
to 1000 in 1880. A census just COM
pleted gives the city in 1883 1888 in
habitants. The assessed value of prop
erty has increased in three years from
So, OO0, 900 to S., 100000. Thegrowth of

cusable conduct which has done its ia
tai work.
Gen. Shelby was drunk, it is true.
He was fined by the Court, it is true.
But his open and pompous expressions
of sympathy for Frank James in the
courtroom, in open court, and while
he was testifying in the cause, his open
confessions on the stand,-that he had
fed, concealed, and hafbored these
scoundrels while robbing and raiding
the State,-ought, as it will, forever
disgrace him In the eyes of law-loving
people.
Col. Phillips, Commissioner Of the
Supreme Court of our State, perform
ing the judicial functions of Supreme
Court Judge, practically,-called and
understood outside of our State to be
q Judge of the Supreme Court,-went
into the trial court and actually assist
ed, as common lawyer, in the defence
Of Frank James! and this, too, while
the State of Missouri was paying him
a salary as Supreme Court Judge
at the same time the State was doing
it's best to punish the robber for
violating its laws!
Is it any wonder that the people of
Iowa, or New York, or elsewhere,
should smile at us, when men situated
as Gen.Shelby and Judge Phillips are,
disgrace our State thus? Shame!-
Shame that 1t is so!
No. A thousand times NO! That is
not the sentiment of Missouri. We de-
ny it. We repudiate it. In the inter-
est of law and order, and sound moral
ity, we denounce it. Our laws must
be respected, must be enforced, SHALL
BE OBEYED.

Another Pension SANDER Refuted.

10 tIic I1ulloE NAIioNAL
/ called On the Commissioner of Pensions
General VIM. w. Dudley to-day, and asked
his attention to the libelous article Preferred
to in your issue of June 2Sthl published in the
New York Mercantile JogFRal, and copied by
the Lowell, Mass, Vor Popali and other papers,
alleging that clerk in the Pension Office
had said that there were as many as 10000
eases where soldiers widows were leading
immoral lives in order TO retain their pension,
of which, III the event of their actually remar-
rying, they would be deprived. The General
branded the statement as false, and declared
that no clerk in the Pension Department had
any such information, for no such information
was known to exist; that instead of 10000,
there are not 100 such cases known, and that
the act of Congress passed August, 1882, which
provides that the open and notorious adulter-
Gus CO. habitation of widow who is q pensioner
shall terminate the pension, the same as if
actually married, has been strictly enforced.
The Commissioner further said that the per-
centage of fraud in pensions is not one-tenth
of one per cent, Notwithstanding the statement
in the Washington Post of July 22d, purporting
to come from a pension examiner, that there
are more tricks practiced in procuring pensions
than in the whole of the other Departments
put together, and that, on the contrary the
closest scrutiny and investigation into the
merits of claims was being made.

LAST BATTLE OF THE WAR.
An Engagement in Texas in Which an Indiana

IRON ne albuquerque J0ur0dt.l
A very interesting bit of personal and gen
eral history, especially to the residents Of New
Mexico and the Rio Csrande Valley. Is the fact
that Colonel David BransOn, now a resident of
this place, IS the man who fought the last bat
tie and gave the last order to cease firing at
the close Of the war Of the rebellion, and did it
at the mouth OF New MexicO's great river the
Rio GTande. The battle was fought on May II
aud Is, 1866. Colonel Branson was sent out
from the general camp on the BrszOs Island
with a mixed number OF about 500 men from
the Second Texas cavalry, dismounted. First
Missouri, colored, and the Thirty fourth Indi-
ana, TO capture q herd of cattle for the use Of
the troops. While cut he was attacked by
force Of about 600 Texas cavalry with artillery
under General Slaughter and General Ford
During the fight war ship arrived with the
news of the surrender of Kirby Smith the last
OF the Confederate forces in the field, and con-
sequently the end of the war. General Barrett,
the commander of the garrison, ordered Colo
mel Branson 10 cease lighting aud return, which
beng impossible on account of the pressure Of
a superioe force and the welI-knoTn enmity OK
their part toward the eOloTed troops and South
ern white Union troops, the engagement was
continued, though the Unionists retired fight
ing, toward the island. General Barrett came
to the rescue on the 18th with a small re-en-
foreement, and the fight hack to the island 0e-
cupied all that day. Near sunset. as General
Barrett was crossing the ferry with the main
body, the attack was renewed upon the rear-
guard, in command of Captain Coffin. Colonel
Brans0n had just gone back TO the guafd, and
the enemy were repulsed the last battle of the
war was over. Then it was that Colonel Bran
son, who had been informed of the good It'd
ings brought by the war ship in the OlEng, and
fully comprehended its Importance and the his
torical significance Of that days work with HIM
self as a modest though conspicuous figure IN

feeling than he ever had before given military

Coffin, he sententuously, and with an anima-
ton he can never feel again. remarked, That
winds up the war; when the captain replied.
with equal emphasis, Yes, and / thank God
we are alive" The impressive scene closed as
| the sun was sinking behind the sand hills on
the western bank of the Rio Grande and the
Gulf of Mexico, and was witnessed by inter-
ested crowds of men perched in the rigging OF
eighty men-of-war and other shipping anchored
in the otfing, and flying the flags of nearly
every nation on earth.
