cries of this character are announced
every presidential campaign. demon
stra;ing that due care is not exercised

Of electors. The St. Louis Gk06e Dem

city provided by the contitution that o
"person holding on Office of trust or

appointed an elector," says in addition
to this most Of the states have a clause

1overment Land.

The acquisition of real estate by
foreigners and foreign corporations,
through their agents in this country,
especially in such immense blocks, is a
question that ought to startle every.
thinking man. We are glad to see
that Senator Plumb has introduced a
bill to regulate or prevent this evil.
The bill provides that aliens who have
not declared their intention to become
citizens shall not acquire title TO real
estate in the territories or District
OF Columbia. 1t provides that no
foreign corporation. more than 10 per
cent of the stock of which is held by
aliens, shall acquire titles and lands in
the territories or District of Columbia
and that no corporation, native or
foreign, except railroads, shall acquire
more than 5000 acres. The excep-
tion respecting railroads limits their
privileges to lands necessary for the
transaction of their business, and such
as may have been granted by the gov
eminent; the bill provides that
TIE lands must be sold within ten years
or they shall revert to the govern
ment.
We hope that this or similar bill
may become the law before the ad.
iournment of the present congress.
Texas is to-day suffering from the evil
of having vast tracts OF her soil held
and controlled by single individuals
and corporations. and the settlement
of the country is retarded and delayed.
The public domain should be held in
trust, sacrcdly for the actual settler
and the nativeSor naturalized citizen O
this country.

The Declamatory Contest.

The. contest fof the Baird prize
medal, by representatives Of the three
literary societies Of the Normal came
off according to program on Friday
night last.
A magnificent audience greeted the
contestants and splendid music inter-
spersed the exercises.
All the contestants did extremely
well and exhibited evidence of much
study and effort to perfect themselves.
We imagine the task Of deciding must
have been difficult one tor the com.
mittee, where several stood so nearly
perfect in their renditions.
The selections by Francie Guipe.
Stacy Porter, Ida Heron, Pet Dodson,
and J. E. Swanger, were sll difficult,
partaking Of a dramatic nature.
Miss Stacy Porter was to our mind,
entitled to very high credit for her ex-
cellent rendition. Each of the others
mentioned bad strong following IN the
audience, and fully deserved the praise
accorded them. The prize was
awarded to Laura Featherston for her
rendition of "How Ruby Play.d. y
Without in any way rejecting on the
decision. we should have hesitated a
long time before deciding against Miss
Porter had we possessed vote in the
matter. The declamatIons of Miss
Lulu Gentry, Miss Featherston and
Mr.. H. c. Harvey each possessed
peculiar merits Of their own and as
above stated, one ofshese three, Miss
Featherston, carried off the prize.

New Paper.

The GRAPHIC aims to give all the
news going. The latest on dit in polit-
cal circles Is the prospect for a new
democratic newspaper tobe started in
-Kirksville, within a few weeks. We
understand that an Office has beeL
bargained for and that the new jour-
nalistic barque will trim its sails to
catch the breezes just as soon as the
material arrives and can be set up.
There promises to be "mus;c in the
air" hereabouts, and lots of fun for the
boys. The name of the new journal
has not been definitely settled, but
some its friends have suggested that
it be called the "Klrksville Democratic
Ceuter," and its motto, "Played to Cut
and Slash" Poor old Dem0eyat and
Poor old GrnmbLy.

several days last week visiting the

each division being seated to itself, so
that they could recite the gems in con-
cert.

of w. w. Griffith, carried off the cake

agement OF Prof. Mcmillan, assisted
by corps of twelve teachers. "ed-
nesday forenoon was spent in visiting

The declamatory contest last Friday
night was a pleasant and successful
affair :rr every respect. The declaim-
ers all seemed to be at home on the
stage and delivered their selections in
deliberate and self-possessed man
ner. The principal criticism that can
be offered is the character oflhe selec-
tions.

OF notice and record, is

WORTHY OF notice and record, is
the statement that Moses Fraley, the
St. Louis dealer who failed for large
amount a few days since, has an.
nounced his determination, to pay his
creditors one hundred cents on the
dollar. Mr.. Fraley's creditors offered
to settle with him at IS I-3 cents on
the dollar but like an honest man he
declined to take advantage of their
generosity. His aggregate indebted
ness is estimated at $3.50, 600.
The Milan RebHbHean has the
virtue of fiat footed, square ,oed frank
ness in dealing with certain elements
Of society found in the capital of old
Sullivan. We admire that papers
grit. Speaking Of the burning of the
Standard Office it says: 1.-The hard
earned property Of quie: peaceable
and law abiding citizen is destroyed,
merely because he did his duty to the
community in denouncing crime and
lawlessness and no man in the town
who has property that can be injured,
but feels that like fate may befall him
If he antagonizes the rough element of
the town." Further on the editor
exhorts his readers to make it so hot
for the gamblers, saloon-loafers, liber-
tines, prostitutes and the lawless of all
classes that they cannot stay; and
when they are gone, decent and indus
trious people will take their places"
The time will come when the people
Of Sullivan will speak in admiration of
the man who had the bravery to
tell the truth now.
