Death Of Judge Pipkin.
from the Pennington Times, Feb. 9.

tFrom the Pennington Times, Feb 81
Judge Philip Pipkin died at his home in
Pennington last Tuesday, the 9Th inst, after
n lingering illness of several weeks. Several
years since his health became so much i'm
paired that he virtually abandoned the prac-
tiee Of law, in which he had been notably
successful. and moved with his family to this
place, whers he has enjoyed the esteem and
respect of oar people in an eminent degree.
He was . man Of sterling worth, firm convic-
tons, rare culture and agreeable social quail
tiles, and Christian gentleman in all the
walks Of life.
Judge Pipkin was born peas Marshall,
Tenn, on the 9th day of November. lsl4. and
WAS therefore 6S years and months old at
the date of his death. He was tRe son Of
Col. Philip Pipkin, an officer Ia the voktntaes
service OF the United States ia the lhdials
vans of Alabama and Tennessee. His moth
&c WAS a daughter of Lester Norris, D Reyo-
Visionary soldier, who lmmigrated to Ten

to stand like rock for the interests of the
people against the ambition of bosses. the
encrOachments of monopolists, and the dis
honest schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost daily
~ our friends. One man holds that THE Sun
is the best religious newspaper ever published,
because its Christianity is undiluted with cant.
Another holds that It is the best Republican

The Downing Bill.

The Downing license bill passed by
the State Senate with only four votes
against it, is long step in the direc-
ton of perfect license system, and
though lacking some features that
would improve it, will give us a fair
test Of the merits of that system. 1t
requires that the application for a Ii
cense shall state specifically where the
saloon is to be kept; that it shall be
signed by two-thirds the assessed tax
paying citizens of the township or block;
that the applicant shall be of good
character; that he shall give bond i'm
shall keep an orderly house, neither
sell nor give liquor to q minor, and
that he will n OF violate any of the pro-
visions of the law. Licenses are to be
issued for only six months and must be
renewed at the end of that period. The
fee is not less than $25 nor more than
$500 for State purposes, and not less
than $3.50 nor more than $500 for coun-
ty purposes for the six months-the
actual amount to be left to the discre-
ton of the County Court. This makes
the 2tate and county fees on every IL
cense not less than $3.50 nor more than
81 200 year. In addition to this, if
the application is for q saloon in city
or town, a special license must be pro-
cured from the council, and q special
fee for it paid, this additional fee be-
ing whatever the municipal council
shall fix. County Courts are prohibit
ed to issue iicsnse In a city Of 2, 500 or
more inhabitants, or In any block or
square of such city. or in any town Of
smaller population than $500, unless q |
minority of all the assessed taxpayers |
"f the town and majority of the as |
sessed Taxpayers on the block or
square shall have aligned the petition |
therefor.
There seems to be an oversight in this
prohibitory provision. if we understand !
it, 1t may be applicable enough to
cities having population of $500 and |
less. but it applies also to cities "con-
tanning 500 Inhabitants or more" that
is, to Kansas City, st. Joseph, Hanni-
hal, Sprinfifield, Maryville, Columbia
aud a dozen other large towns in the
state 1t appears to be unnecessarily

harsh and exacting to require that
there shall not be a single licensed sa-
loon in these large cities unless a ma
iInrity of all the taxpayers petition
for it..
The selling or giving away of liquor
on Sunday, or general election day, ID
prohibited, under penalty of forfeit
ure of license; so also is the selling or
giving Of liquor to an habitual drunk
ard, after notification not to do so from
his wife, father, mother, brother, sis
ter or guardian; and in addition the
relative may recover @ sum not less
than fifty dollars nor more than five
hundred dollars from the saloon
keeper.
The features in which this bill chief
ly differs from the existing law are
those requiring the names oftwo-thirtis,
instead Of a mere majority Of the tax
payers of the township or block to be
signed to the petition, increasing the
bond to two thousand dollars, and in
creasing the license fees. Some of the
provisions are rigorous, but not more
SO than the similar provisions in the
existing law. The existing law IS ma
bitually violated with impunity,
whereas 1t is expected that the propos-
ed new one will be strictly enforced.
There is one simple provision lacking
in the bill which might be inserted
with great advantage-a clause requir-
ing every licensee to have his license
in conspicuous place in his
saloon, anG making the absence of it |
prin1a fdcie evidence that he is selling |
license. Honest and law
abiding licensees are entitled to all the |
protection the State can give them,
and something like this seems neces-
'ary to protect them against the COM
petition IF the irresponsible persons
who carry on the business without IL
,ense.-Republican.

The Report OF the State Auditor.

1.-THE gentleman from Iron" having
forwarded to us a copy of this report
we will lay before our readers some
facts CLEANED from it. 1t has about
375 pages octave, and is packed full OF
we'll arranged statistics. 1t makes the
following showing of State funds for
January 1st, 1888: Total in the Treas
ury, 1858, 1880. This is divided among
twelve different funds, the State rev.
enue fund being $685., 422 90, and the
State school monies, $174.54O. The to-
tai Understanding debt was $685.
600, having been reduced So, $50, 900 in
two years. The total valuation of real
and personal property for taxation in
1882 was S649, 267 ,242.S6.
But we cannot reproduce the whole
book. Let it suffice to say that it con-
tains distinct statement of every fund
belonging to the State, and that our
State finances are in a very healthy
condition, so that the State would
have no difficulty in floating her bonds
at 4 per cent.
But we know that the readers of the
REGISTER will pardon us in feeling
some little pride in regard to the stand
ing of Southeast Missouri on the Audi
tors books. Of the ia counties in the
State % have no county or township
Indebtedness. Of these Bollinger, Car.
ter, Iron, Madison, Mississippi, Perry,
Reynolds, Scott, st. Francois, Texas
and Wasllington-in all, 11-are in
Southeast Missouri. Out of the re-
manning II, only one is ''lame duck"
out of flock of 8 i'm the State.
Iron county has no county nor
township Indebtedness, and has a
surplus in the Treasury, for which
very honorable financial fact it
may touch its hat to its intelligent
County Courts which the people have
done themselves the honor to elect for
the past fifteen years.
To conclude, the State debt is 3d.
979, 900; the county Indebtedness in the
State is S1O,s4O. OS2.46; the township
Indebtedness is S2,649, 1871 so. Total,
ST, ass, 4l4.36, or less than 2 per cent.
of the cash value of the property in the
State.

vantages were meager, but by close applica-
ton he was enabled to enter Cumberland
College when quite youth, from which in.
stitution he graduated at the age of twenty.
In 1890 his father moved to this State, and
Mr.. Pipkin followed him rs soon as he had
finished his course in college, and commenced
the study of law. In 1910 he was elected to
represent Jefferson county in the Legisla-
ture. In 1915 he was elected from the Sena-
| torial district from which Jefferson county
| formed part to the Constitutional Conven-
| ton which met in jefferson City in the fall
| of that year. In 1858 he moved to 1ronton
and opened a law Office, and was there ap-
pointed Justice of the County Court. At
the breaking out Of the late war he was elect
ed a member of the State Convention called
to consider the relations of the State to the
Federal Government. He was a delegate to
the Democratic National Convention in 1854,
and cast his vote for Gen. Mcclellan for
for President. During the war Judge Pip
kin was arrested and imprisoned several
times on account of his Southern sympathies,
and in 1854, just after Prices raid into Mis-
souri,, he was banished by order Of Gen.
Ewing, but the order was subsequently re-
voked before the time arrived for 1t to be
carried into effect. He was compelled to
leave his home, however, with his family, and
his residence was used rs a hospital until the
close of the war. After the war he made his
home in Jefferson county. In 1872 he was
elected Circuit Judge of the Twenty sixth
Judicial Circuit, and in 1875 was delegate
to the Constitutional Convention that formu-
lated our present State Constitution. About
two years ago he moved to this place.
Judge Pipkin leaves a devoted wife and |
several children to mourn his death, among |
them Mr.. Merrill Pipkin, of this place. He |
was a consistent member of the NJ. f. Church,
South; and at an early hour this (Friday) |
the burial service will be read by |
the pastor Of that Church, and the remains
then taken to Jefferson county for burial.

EXECUTIVE STYLE.

CONTRARY to the usual custom
President Arthur is scrupulously
careful concerning the letting out of
single word Of his annual message
until congress has first read it. He
Will probably write his message, as he
did last year, at high pressure. The
sheets will be written in the presi-
dents little private room, and the first
light OF dawn viii tinge some OF them,
for the president thinks he does his
best work after midnight The chief
magistrate, as he writes his message,
has no companions but some choice
cigars, and his desk is heaped with
reports, documents and manuscript.
Last year President Arthur was very
nervous lest his message should get
to the press before it reached con-
gress. He sent for the public printer
and said: 'Mr. Rounds, can I depend
upon you TO put my message into
type and keep it away from the news
papers?"
"You can, sir" said Rounds.
"Very well; I'll try you, and shall
hold you personally responsible for
its safety"
The public printer took the manu-
script, rushed back to the govern
ment's great workshop, cut the man
uscript into very small takes, took off
his coat, put on his apron, and with
his chief clerk, set the type for the
most important parts. The presi-
dent sat up all night reading the
proofs as they were sent up, galley
by galley, from the printing Office.
The public printer watched each
proof as closely as though il had
been a government bond. AT six
o'clock the message was in type, re-
vised, and the president went to bed.
AT noon it went to congress. From
beginning to end it viii be seen that
it is no child's play to write and send
to congress a message of this sort.
